Hazelton Ave <br />Stockton, CA 95205 <br />Subject: Draft Environmental Impact Report PA -0800105 Forward Landfill Expansion <br />Mr. Funderburg, <br />DIRECTOR <br />Linda Turkatte, REHS <br />PROGRAM COORDINATORS <br />Robert McClellon, REHS <br />Jeff Carruesco, REHS, RDI <br />Kasey Foley, REHS <br />Rodney Estrada, REHS <br />Adrienne Ellsaesser, REHS <br />The Environmental Health Department (EHD) has reviewed the above referenced document and has the <br />following comments. <br />1. The proposed project plans to expand the landfill in 2 areas within the facility boundaries. The changes <br />require that the operator make an application to revise the Solid Waste Facility Permit (SWFP). The <br />SWFP has several supporting documents. Those documents will require revising as well. The Joint <br />Technical Document (JTD) contains the Preliminary Closure -Post Closure Maintenance Plan <br />(PCPCMP). The cost estimates associated with PCPCMP and the non -water corrective action plan will <br />require revising to reflect the changes proposed by the project. <br />2. The Forward Inc. site has 184 acres located in the south west corner of the landfill that has been <br />designated as a buffer area (Brocchini parcel). The buffer area has been restricted to no landfill activity. <br />This would include landfill support activities, such as, equipment storage, and ancillary construction <br />activities. The project proposes to relocate the South Branch of the South Fork of Little Johns Creek. <br />The creek location activities need to be completed without use of the Brocchinin parcel. <br />3. The DEIR on Page III -23 discusses how the site will control litter. As a condition of approval the site <br />shall install and maintain a permanent litter fence along Austin Road starting at the entrance to the <br />power plant and extending to the south facility boundary (excluding entrances). The fence will extend <br />west along the south property boundary from Austin Road to the Brocchini parcel. The litter fence shall <br />be no less than 20 feet in height. The litter fence can be installed in phases (no more than 3) and shall be <br />shown on the Site Plan. The construction of the first phase of the litter fence must be completed within 1 <br />year of project approval and additional phases prior to disposal of waste in those areas. The fence shall <br />be maintained in good repair for the active disposal period of the landfill. The litter fence shall be <br />decommissioned within 2 years of final closure of the site. <br />If you have any question regarding this matter, please contact me at (209) 468-0332. <br />Sincerely, <br />Robert McClellon, Program Coordinator REHS <br />Environmental Health Department <br />
