Previous Project (History) In 2012 Forward proposed a previous expansion project of the landfilling operations onto an adjoining 184.0 acre parcel . This parcel was located within closer proximity to the Stockton Metropolitan Airport than the currently proposed expansion project area, and required a four-fifths vote of the Board of Supervisors to override the County Airport Land Use Commission finding that this proposed expansion project was not in conformity with the 1993 San Joaquin County Airport Land Use Plan. This former project failed to achieve the required four-fifth override vote of the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors did vote, however, to certify the Forward Landfill Expansion Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) as having been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (GC 15151 ) and adequate for use for decision-making- purposes . In 2014 a new project area for development was proposed within the permitted landfill area and did not include the previously proposed-horizontal expansion of landfilling operations onto the adjacent 184.0 acre parcel and no cancellation of the Williamson Act Contract. As determined by the Environmental Review officer a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) was to be prepared to review any potentially significant impacts. On March 2T,- 2015 the applicant "Forward Inc." requested that the Community Development Department place the proposed 2014 project on hold . The applicant "Forward Inc." requested that the previous project request be reinitiated and is proposing an infill development project of 17.3 acres. The additional acreage ( 17.3 acres) being proposed is within the boundary of the 567-acres permitted under UP-00-0007. Additionally, the project area being proposed is not under a Williamson Act Contract and will not include landfilling operations onto the adjacent 184.0 acre parcel previously proposed in 2012. Location The project site is located on the west side of Austin Road, 1 /2 mile north of Lynch-Road, north of Manteca. The Draft SEIR determined that the proposed project after mitigation, project implementation would have the following significant unavoidable adverse impacts : • Project traffic would contribute to an unacceptable Level of Service under 2035 cumulative conditions at the intersection of Austin Road and Arch Road, SR 99 and Arch Road, and SR 99/Mariposa Road SB Ramp under cumulative conditions. The project would contribute to a cumulatively significant increase in air pollutant emissions. The increase in extent and mass of the proposed project would constitute a significant visual impact (per 2013 FEIR- not reevaluated in this SEIR). • The project would result in significant and unavoidable project-generated traffic noise on Austin Road . The project's truck traffic would contribute to significant and unavoidable cumulative traffic noise on Austin Road . The proposed project site is not present on any of the lists of sites enumerated under Section 65962 .5 of the Government Code including, but not limited to lists of hazardous waste facilities, land designated as hazardous waste property, hazardous waste disposal sites, and others. Copies of the DSEIR are available for review at the San Joaquin County Community Development Department, 1810 East Hazelton Avenue, Stockton, 95205. The DSEIR is also available at the Community Development Department website www.sigov.org/commdev for download and review. 2
