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 mini- mum 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 Gen- eral Plan. The Forward site is considered a major impact facility and is operated condi- tionally in the AG-40 zone under the Use Permit. Structures Within 1,000 Feet of Site Boundaries Onsite. This section describes the ancillary facilities for the Forward site, which support efficient site operations. These facilities are shown in Figures 1.2 and 1.4. RRF Facilities Area. The RRF entrance and facilities area is where Forward personnel visually inspect each incoming recyclable load and monitor all RRF activities. This area includes the 12,000-square-foot RRF building, a portable office trailer, portable employee trailer, portable sanitary-facilities, gravel-based parking areas for employees and visitors, a trailer with spare parts, an RRF equipment, transfer truck, and storage bin area, an 8,000-gallon water tank, and a 20-gallons per minute (gpm) water production well. Incom- ing compost feedstock will also be received and inspected at the RRF facility. LandflU Entrance Facilities Area. The landfill entrance facilities area is where Forward personnel inspect the manifests and regulate all landfill vehicular activities. This area includes a portable office trailer, portable sanitary facilities, a landscaped area, asphalt- paved parking areas for employees and visitors, and a 1,000-gpm water production well. Equipment Maintenance Area and Storage Yard. The existing equipment storage area is at the landfill in WMU G-North and is fenced and equipped for routine vehicle mainte- nance and major and minor equipment repair. A complete vehicle repair service facility is maintained on site with an extensive inventory of spare parts. The equipment maintenance area includes equipment maintenance trailers and parking areas for heavy equipment. The hazardous materials storage building and safety shower are also in this area. The fenced equipment storage yard is a secured area that protects landfill equipment from vandalism. This area will be relocated as needed to facilitate site development. Bin Storage Area. The bin storage area is on the north side of the RRF 8' g , adjacent to the trailer storage. Three drop boxes from Levin Metal Corporation and drop boxes from the Delta Container Corporation are stored here on a regular basis.

Water for site operations is supplied by two on site production wells (one at the landfill entrance facilities and the other at the RRF entrance facilities). Water is also avail- able from an 8,000-gallon storage tank located in the RRF facilities area. Onsite water ®ea20029B63.wp3/4 9/28/94 4
