A site vicinity map is shown on Figure 1. 1.2.2 Facility Overview The FL is composed of the Forward and Austin Road Landfills, as shown on Figure 2. In April 2001, the County of San Joaquin granted a Use Permit (UP-00-07) to Forward Landfill, Inc. to combine the former Austin Road Sanitary Landfill and the original FL into a single disposal facility with a single set of permits. The entire FL site area is comprised of approximately 567 acres. The landfill disposal area incorporates both existing and future waste management units. The site is bounded on its east side by Austin Road and on a portion of its west side by Newcastle Road. Stage 1B is an approximate 20-acre area as shown on Figure 2. This area includes the final fill slopes on the north side slope of the FL. As part of this project, the area will be cleared and grubbed, as necessary, and the closure improvements constructed (e.g., final cover, permanent drainage, landfill gas system modification, etc.). 1.2.3 Surrounding Land Use Pursuant to the San Joaquin County 2010 General Plan, the land use designation for the landfill is G/A (General Agricultural) and the zoning is AG-40 (General Agricultural, 40-acre minimum lot size). The San Joaquin County Development Title specifies that Major Impact Services are allowed in AG-40 zone classification areas subject to a Use Permit. Major Impact Services, which include sanitary landfills, are defined as land intensive activities that must be located away from residences or concentrations of people due to the nature of the operation's impacts. The existing FL is currently operated under San Joaquin County Land Use Permit UP-00-07 granted in 2003. The 567-acre site includes an approximate 126-acre portion of the previously owned California Youth Authority (CYA) parcel north of the FL. The CYA parcel is restricted by the terms of its acquisition to use as a borrow site, composting, and pre-approved agricultural uses. Adjacent land uses include agricultural lands to the east, west, and south. The Northern California Youth Correctional Center, a criminal detention facility, is located on Newcastle Road approximately 1,900 feet from the northernmost existing FL disposal area and approximately 300 feet north of the soil borrow area discussed above. A women's prison, the Northern California Women's Facility, is located farther north of the site at the southwest corner of Arch and Austin Roads. The women's facility is currently closed and does not house any inmates. The Stockton Metropolitan Airport is to the west of the FL with the end of the nearest runway approximately one mile to the west. The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Intermodal Facility, a 470-acre train/truck cargo transfer and storage facility, is located approximately one mile northeast of the site, along the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe railroad main line.
