serves as comprehensive mitigation for impacts to threatened, endangered, rare and other unlisted SJMSCP Covered Species. Forward, Inc. has participated in the SJMSCP since October of 2004. The FL is located within 10,000 feet of the Stockton Metropolitan Airport (SCK) runway (RWY 29). Forward has met with SCK personnel regarding the proposed expansion. SCK has not experienced problems with bird hazards to aircraft related to FL. The FAA regulations regarding construction near an airport and obstruction standards are detailed in 14 CFR Part 77. The FL expansion could potentially exceed two standards: one standard associated with the localizer approach pattern to SCK and another standard governed by certain horizontal and conical imaginary surfaces defined in the FAA regulations. The final grading plan for the expansion has been designed to fall below the FAA obstruction clearance elevations. A Form 7460-1 will be submitted to the FAA for approval prior to refuse fill elevations reaching obstruction clearance elevations. 3.3.2 TRANSPORTATION AND CIRCULATION The roadways in the vicinity of FL are shown on Figure 1. Access to FL is from Austin Road, a two-lane paved road oriented north-south. Direct routes to Austin Road are provided by Interstate Highway 5, Highway 120, Highway 99, Mariposa Road, Arch Road, and French Camp Road. There are four entrances to FL from Austin Road. The main entrance is located approximately midway between the northern and southern property boundaries. The two northern entrances are used mainly by FL staff for maintenance and environmental monitoring. The southern entrance is located south of the South Creek and is used for access to the resource recovery facility. The southern entrance will require relocation as part of the proposed relocation of the South Creek. There is also an entrance to the northwest corner of the site from Newcastle Road which is currently used for environmental monitoring and access to the Covanta landfill gas to energy facility. The 2002 EIR for the Consolidated Forward Landfill analyzed traffic at the FL and at the surrounding intersections assuming a vehicle count of 620 one-way trips per day. Traffic counts taken at the project driveway indicated that Forward Landfill-Project Description 3-8 BRYAN A.STIRRAT&ASSOCIATES J:\Allied\Forward\2007.0018 Lateral Expansion\Reports\Prof Descrip\021308 Final Proj Des\Sec 3.doc:2/13/2008)
