8.0 CONDITONS, CRITERIA AND REQUIREMENTS The Compost Facility will not encroach on floodplains or tidelands, nor is it in an agricultural preserve. The zoning of the site and nearest adjacent properties is agricultural. A. Provide a compilation of the conditions, criteria, and requirements established by the various approval agencies having jurisdiction over the composting site. This compilation may consist of land use approvals, waste discharge requirements, air pollution control district permits, environmental impact determinations, and any other pertinent permits. State and local agencies regulate the disposal of nonhazardous solid and designated wastes at the Forward RRF either directly through permits, approvals, and regulatory requirements, or indirectly through guidelines enforced by other agencies. The RRF is currently operating under the following permits • Land Use Permit U 91-12, issued by the San Joaquin County Department of Planning on September 26, 1993. • Solid Waste Facilities Permit-Transfer Facility/Compost Facility, No. 39-AA-0020, issued by the San Joaquin Local Health District, May 2004. • Waste Discharge Requirements, Order No. 94-014, issued by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region, August 11, 1989. • Permits to Operate N-339-1-0, N-339-3-0, N-339-7-0, and N-339-8-0, issued by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. • National and Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit. B. Include written proof of permission for encroachment on flood plains or tidelands. C. Identify zoning of all adjacent parcels and whether the site or adjacent parcels are within an Agricultural Preserve. Zoning of the site and of adjacent parcels may be demonstrated with copies of adopted zoning maps or by depiction on a plot plan. In 1973, when the original Use Permit for the site was approved, the zoning designation for the area was Exclusive Agriculture (EA-10). The EA-10 zoning designation allowed landfill development subject to a Use Permit. The San Joaquin County General Plan (San Joaquin County Planning Department, 1976 and 1992) (General Plan) designation for the landfill is GA (General Agricultural) and the zoning is AG-40 (General Agriculture, 40-acre minimum lot size), which also allows landfill development as a conditionally permitted use. The entire Forward site is designated as a Public Utility/Solid Waste Disposal Facility and is consistent with the General Plan and the zoning ordinances adopted pursuant to the General Plan. The landfill (including the RRF) is considered a major impact facility and is operated conditionally in the AG-40 zone under the Use Permit. D. If the composting site is within an Agricultural Preserve, a copy of the contract should be attached. Forward Composting Facility RCSI 7/20/09;Page 56 SWT Engineering
