Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.E-8 <br /> Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Expansion Project <br /> A summary of the key landfill operational commitments that result in a lessening of the risk <br /> factors in the proposed project are shown in Table IV.E-1,below,which compares the baseline <br /> assumptions with the proposed project assumptions. <br /> Table IV.E-1: Summary of Key Landfill Operation Assumptions <br /> Key Landfill Operations Baseline Proposed Project <br /> Assumptions <br /> Diesel Particulate Source Combustion equipment Combustion equipment <br /> Areas associated with Working Area, associated with NewExpansion <br /> Borrow Soil Stockpile, Area Excavation,Working Area, <br /> Excavation, Class II Soil Borrow Soil Stockpile, Class II <br /> Stockpile,haul trucks Soil Stockpile, haul trucks <br /> Daily Tonnage 3500 tons/day 8,668 tons/day (same as current <br /> permitted level,but higher than <br /> actual baseline) <br /> Haul Trucks per day 233 620 (same as current permitted <br /> level,but higher than actual <br /> baseline) <br /> Number of Vehicles, Forward—17 pieces of diesel- Unchanged <br /> Operating Hours, days per powered landfill operating <br /> week operation,vehicle equipment, 10.5 hrs, 7 days, 5 <br /> replacement frequency to 10 years <br /> Source: SCS,May 2018 <br /> In addition, the following procedures are proposed as part of the project: <br /> • Use of a total of 17 pieces of equipment (at any given time)over the life of the project to <br /> minimize particulate discharge,will remain unchanged. <br /> • Waste Management Unit operations at the landfill would be limited to a single working <br /> face for disposal operations at any given time. <br /> • All employees would be given appropriate training regarding the potential for exposure <br /> to hazardous materials. This training will include a 24-hour hazardous waste operations <br /> course and an annual 8-hour refresher course for personnel involved in the "load <br /> checking" program where the incoming loads are screened for hazardous materials. <br /> • The landfill would not accept any designated waste that may potentially contain <br /> hazardous levels of regulated substances (as defined in water Code Section 13173) <br /> unless authorized by the RWQCB. <br /> • Dust control procedures specified in the Site Operations Plan (per the JTD)would use <br /> the application of fine water spray at a minimum of twice daily on the active soil- <br />
