Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.A-20 Forward Inc.Landfill 2018 Expansion Project Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan Public Resource Code Section 50001 requires that the County make a finding that the proposed facility is identified in the most recent Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan. The former Austin Road and original Forward Landfills at the project site are currently identified as disposal facilities in the Siting Element of the Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan (CIWMP). As discussed in Setting, above,the County has disposal capacity estimated to last until approximately 2041. The Proposed Project would add approximately 8.12 million cubic yards to countywide disposal capacity, and the former Austin Road and original Forward Landfills at the project site are currently identified as disposal facilities in the Siting Element of the CIWMP. The Project would increase the capacity of the existing facilities identified in the Siting Element. While expanding the estimated remaining life of the landfill in the Siting Element would not be a substantial change, it would require formal approval by the Integrated Waste Management Plan Task Force and the County Board of Supervisors. As of August 2018,the Siting Element had not been revised to account for the additional capacity of the proposed project. If the proposed landfill infill project is approved, the Siting Element would be amended to ensure consistency with Public Resources Code Section 50001. Multi-Species Conservation and Open Space Plan As discussed in Setting, above, the San Joaquin Multi-Species Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP)is a voluntary program. The project sponsor will participate in the SJMSCP. The proposed project would be consistent with the SJMSCP as amended. Mitigation measures to reduce impacts to species of concern,in addition to participation in the SJMSCP, are discussed in F. Vegetation and Wildlife, Impacts and Mitigation Measures. Airport Land Use Plan Consistency and General Plan Aviation Policies As discussed under the Airport Land Use Commission(ALUC)and 2016 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan Update for Stockton Metropolitan Airport(ALUP)section, above, the 2018 Expansion Project is located within the Airport Influence Area of the Stockton Metropolitan Airport (SMA), which is divided into various land use zones, as shown in Figure IV.A-2. Different land use standards, conditions, and restrictions apply in each subarea. As discussed in more detail in Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC)and 2016 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan Update for Stockton Metropolitan Airport(ALUP), above, the 2018 Expansion Project is within the Traffic Pattern(Zone 7b). The 2016 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan Update for Stockton Metropolitan Airport, "Hazards to flight" includes prohibited land uses in Traffic Pattern (Zone 7b)applicable to the two proposed expansion areas, which include "physical (e.g., tall objects), visual, and electronic forms of interference with the safety of aircraft operations. Land use development that may cause the attraction of birds or other wildlife hazards to increase is also prohibited. Such uses (e.g. stormwater management facilities, other waterways,golf courses)are further detailed in FAA Advisory Circular
