III. Environmental Setting, Impacts,and Mitigations A. Land Use,Plans and Policies Landfill. The 250-foot by 150-foot storage area would be used as needed, although this use would be sporadic and infrequent based on current incidence of hazardous waste retrieval at the existing landfill. The temporary hazardous waste storage area would be secured at all times. A Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC)permit would not be required since the hazardous waste, mostly household hazardous waste,would be removed within 90 days. The material would be disposed of at Forward,Inc.Landfill or taken to one of the household hazardous waste collection programs sponsored by San Joaquin County(Fukumoto, 1993). An air district permit would not be required, assuming collection containers are kept closed. Flood control easement area would be established along the western and northwestern borders of the existing landfill site to accommodate flooding from the realigned Little Johns Creek. The 6.5 acre triangular site in the northeastern corner of the proposed expansion area is within the 100-year floodplain and would consequently be maintained as a floodplain area. Little Johns Creek course would be altered to accommodate the proposed project. 10.3 acres of the northernmost comer of the Brocchini parcel would be used as a wildlife preserve/floodplain area. The farm residence located on the current Brocchini property would be removed under the proposed project. The nearest remaining residence would be approximately 500 feet east of the Brocchini property(the future landfill boundary). The Northern California Youth Center would continue to be approximately 1,900 feet north of the landfill operation,but the project would situate the northern boundary of the proposed borrow area approximately 500 feet from the Youth Center. Additional vehicles,noise-makers for bird control,construction activity,and the expansion of the operation could increase noise levels. The residence approximately 500 feet east of the proposed site would be subject to noise increases. Noise impacts are discussed in Section III.H., Noise,of this EIR. Dust and odors could adversely impact the nearby residence to the east and the Northern California Youth Center to the north. These potential impacts are discussed in Section III.G,Air Quality,of this EIR. Health risks could also adversely affect residents and farm workers. Refer to the discussion of such potential impacts in Section III.L,Public Health and Safety, of this EIR. III.A.20
