Austin Road Landfill E Sion Project I. INTRODUCTION This document contains a revised Summary of Impacts and Mitigation Measures;written comments received on the Draft EIR and the Lead Agency's responses to those comments;and an errata section containing technical and editorial corrections initiated by County staff. Comments and responses on the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report(DSEIR)for the proposed Austin Road Landfill Expansion Project. The DSEIR was circulated for a shortened 30-day public review period(granted by the State Clearinghouse upon consultation with responsible and trustee agencies)beginning November 21, 1999 and ending on December 20, 1999. Copies of the DSEIR were distributed to state,regional,and local agencies,as well as to any requesting individuals and organizations,for their review and comment. The San Joaquin County Planning Commission reviewed the DSEIR at their December 16, 1999 meeting at which commissioners expressed their comments. This document is a companion document to the Draft EIR dated November 12, 1999 and,together with that document,constitute the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report(FSEIR) for the project. Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA),and Section 15088 of the CEQA Guidelines,the County of San Joaquin as the lead agency has evaluated the comments received on the DSEIR and has prepared written responses to the comments received. Section III contains all of the comments made on the DSEIR. Responses are provided for significant environmental points raised in the review and consultation process(as required in the State CEQA Guidelines Section 15132). Because of the limited comments and minimal text revisions resulting from these comments,the DSEIR has not been revised and republished in this document. Rather,a revised Summary Table of impacts and mitigations is included in this document. Revisions are shown in swike4h£euo(deleted text)and italics (new text). This document along with the DSEIR will be reviewed by the San Joaquin County Planning Commission and certified by the County Board of Supervisors prior to consideration of project approval. The County may require the mitigation measures identified in this FSEIR as conditions of project approval. In order to approve any discretionary applications for the proposed project,the County must adopt a separate document,prepared pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 and 15093,containing a set of required CEQA"Findings" with respect to each significant environmental effect,and a"Statement of Overriding Considerations" for any effects that are unavoidable or infeasible to mitigate. Also included in the Findings document is a Mitigation Monitoring Program that must be adopted in accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21081.6. 1
