WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS -7- FORWARD INC.,FORWARD LANDFILL SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY 23. The site is not within a 100-year floodplain as shown on Federal Insurance Rate Map for San Joaquin County, dated 15 May 1980. 24. Surface drainage is to the South Fork of South Littlejohn Creek, which is tributary to South Littlejohn Creek, which flows into Littlejohn Creek, tributary to French Camp Slough, hence San Joaquin River and the Delta. 25. The beneficial uses of these surface waters are recreation, aesthetic enjoyment, and preservation and enhancement of fish, wildlife and other aquatic resources. 26. There are no known Holocene faults within 200 feet of the Forward facility. The closest active fault is the Greenville Fault which is approximately 28 miles west-southwest of the site. The Discharger estimates the highest local ground acceleration would come from an earthquake on the Midland fault 24 miles west of the site where the most recent displacement is estimated to be early Oligocene(35 million years ago). A maximum credible earthquake of magnitude 7.0 on the Midland fault would produce a ground acceleration of 0.18 g at the facility. OPERAnON OF FACIEUMS 27. The Discharger proposes to increase waste receipts to an average rate of 3,800 tons per day with a peak daily rate of 4,180 tons per day. 28. The transfer station/resource recovery facility is south of Littlejohn Creek. The Discharger proposes to expand this facility from 12,000 s4iiarre feet to 50,000 square feet. Processed materials include baled cardboard and paper, ferrous and nonferrous metals, glass, plastic and wood. Recovered wastewood, lumber, and.brush are placed in a wood waste stockpile area, ground and processed in a wood grinder, then hauled off-site. Other recovered materials are stored on-site and shipped to market as needed. Remaining unrecyclable wastes are landfilled. 29. The Discharger proposes to operate the Composting Facility in accordance with the operations procedures contained in the Report of Waste Discharge dated 26 April 1996. The Discharger proposes to use the end products of the composting process as a topsoil amendment, mulch, or a soil conditioner for various applications. The composted material may also be used in the landfill as an alternative daily cover material. 30. The Dischazger plans to expand the landfill units in five general phases with construction of modules within each phase. Future expansion north of the south fork of South Littlejohn Creek will be in WMU D with each module identified with the year of
