two violations of Title 27 Section 20800 -Dust Control; one violation of Section 20690 -Alternative Daily Cover; one violation of Section 20820-Drainage/Erosion Control and one violation of Section 20830 - Litter Control. In 2007, there was one violation of Section 20830-Drainage/Erosion Control; one violation of Section 20830 -Litter Control; one violation of Section 20870 -Hazardous Waste; two violations of Section 20520 -Signs; and one violation of PRC 44014 Operator Complies with Terms and Conditions. The violation for PRC Section 44014, Terms and Conditions, was for exceeding tonnage limits. In 2006, there were two violations of Section 20680 -Daily Cover; two violations of PRC 44004 Significant Change; five violations of PRC 44014 Operator Complies with Terms and Conditions; one violation of Section 20820-Drainage/Erosion Control; and one violation of Section 20690 -Alternative Daily Cover. In 2005, there were three Public Resource Code 44004 Significant Change violations; three Public Resource Code 44014 Operator Complies with Terms and Conditions violations; seven violations of Section 20919.5 -Explosive Gas Control; and one violation of Section 20700 -Intermediate Cover. In 2004, there was one violation of Section 20830 -Litter Control and three violations of Section 20919.5 - Explosive Gas Control. The Violations for Section 20919.5 for Explosive Gas Control in 2004 and 2005 were for methane gas levels at the landfill boundary exceeded 5%. This was corrected though the installation of a gas extraction system at the facility. Environmental Analysis: State law requires compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act either through the preparation, circulation and adoption/certification of an environmental document and mitigation reporting or monitoring program or by determining that the proposal is categorically or statutorily exempt. The San Joaquin County Department of Public Works, acting as lead agency, prepared an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), State Clearinghouse (SCH) No. 2006062113, addressing the potential impact of the proposed permit revisions. With the exception of Aesthetics (need to fill in impact), all potentially significant impacts (cultural resources, noise, and cumulative impact for geology and soils, and transportation/traffic) were reduced to less than significant after incorporation of mitigation measures. The San Joaquin Board of Supervisors found that the impacts, identified in the Final EIR as being potentially significant, had been reduced to a level considered less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures and project changes. The San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors certified the Final EIR and adopted a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program on November 22, 2006. A Notice of Determination was filed with the San Joaquin County Clerk on December 6, 2006. Upon certification of the Final EIR, the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the significant impact to Aesthetics. The Statement of Overriding Considerations states: The San Joaquin County Department of Public Works strives to provide long-term, cost effective, solid waste disposal and recycling services to businesses and residents throughout San Joaquin County. • Increasing the landfill height would increase the available disposal capacity of the landfill by approximately 60% with little additional cost and without increasing the surface area over which refuse is placed, thereby helping to contain cost. • The additional capacity would also extend the operational life of the existing landfill from 2032 to approximately 2046, but cost savings would begin almost immediately.
