Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page I-3 Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Expansion Project fill capacity by approximately 8.42 million cubic yards (cy), from approximately 15.7 million cy currently permitted to approximately 25 million cy. • Landfill expansion would allow disposal at the landfill to continue until approximately 2036, a six-year increase from the current anticipated closure date of 2030. Site operations would remain mostly as described in the 2013 EIR. The complete 2018 Expan- sion Project, including the components that are unchanged, is also summarized in Chapter III,Project Description. C. CEQA REQUIREMENTS FOR A SUPPLEMENTAL EIR This Supplemental EIR has been prepared in compliance with CEQA and the CEQA Guide- lines, as amended. A Supplemental EIR, as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15163, is intended to evaluate changes to a project analyzed in a certified EIR, when those project changes could result in new or more substantial impacts — or require new or altered mitiga- tion measures or project alternatives — beyond those already identified in the certified EIR. CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, referenced in Section 15163, lists the conditions requiring preparation of a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR: • Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; • Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative dec- laration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substan- tial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or • New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following: (A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declarations; (B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more signifi- cant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mit- igation measure or alternative;or (D)Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to
