PROJECT DESCRIPTION The General Plan Map Amendment would add the "Solid Waste Disposal Facilities" symbol to the Land Use/Circulation Element map at the proposed project location on Harney Lane. The General Plan Text Amendment would add the North County Sanitary Landfill to the list of Solid Waste Disposal Facilities Exhibit and the Solid Waste Facilities Figure in the Land Use/Circulation Element Basis for Policy document .

The underlying project is a new Class III sanitary landfill which is proposed as a replacement for the existing Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill . The existing Harney Lane facility has a total site area of 112 acres and is expected to reach capacity by 1990 . The proposed North County Sanitary Landfill (NCSL) is on a 320-acre parcel approximately 1 . 5 miles east of the existing landfill on the south side of Harney Lane. This replacement is proposed as a Class III landfill (same as the existing facility) and would accept mixed municipal solid waste, construction and demolition materials, and tires . The estimated capacity of the landfill is 17 . 3 million cubic yards with a life expectancy of 36 years . The NCSL would be owned by the County of San Joaquin and operated by the Solid Waste Division of the County Department of Public Works . The NCSL would operate under a County Use Permit , as well as operating permits from the Regional Water Quality Control Board, the San Joaquin Air Pollution Control District , and the San Joaquin Local Health District .
