creek is a tributary to South Littlejohns Creek, itself a tributary to French Camp Slough, which ultimately discharges into the San Joaquin River. Surface water runoff from the North Area that has not contacted any waste, or has contacted waste and meets the water quality criteria for storm water discharges, is collected in onsite storm water drainage basins from which it is discharged to the South Fork. All runoff from the North Area that has contacted waste is collected and pumped into the 1.46-acre leachate evaporation pond located along the south perimeter. The entire RRF and separation area is bermed for screening purposes and to segregate non contact storm water from the RRF operations. Currently, potentially contaminated runoff from the South Area is pumped either to the leachate evaporation pond or the sedimentation basin in the North Area. Forward will operate a composting facility in the South Area for the nonrecyclable organic wastes received at the RRF. Material received at the RRF for composting may include green waste, mixed paper, municipal solid waste (MSW), and food and agricultural waste. The composting facility may also be operated as a co-composting facility by the addition of biosolids to the material during the composting process. The end product of the composting process may be used as a topsoil amendment, mulch, or a soil conditioner for various applications. The composted material may also be used in the landfill as an alternative daily cover material. All contact water from the compost facility will run off compacted soil toward the south AOL west corner of the site and collect in a retention pond. The collected water will be either Wr evaporated or used in the initial mixing of the compost. Excess water with acceptable water quality will be discharged to the South Fork in compliance with the applicable storm water regulations. Excess water with unacceptable water quality for discharge to the South Fork will either be pumped into the onsite leachate evaporation pond in the North Area, or transported to a local municipal treatment facility. 1.2 Site Location 1.2.1 Site Location Map Provide a site location map which shows the exact location of the facility and includes the names of all access roads [14 CCR 18220(a)]. Property boundaries should be delineated by township, range, and section. This map should be at a scale of at least 1:24,000(USGS topographical quadrangle) or 7.5 minute map. The physical address for the Forward site is 9999 South Austin Road, Manteca in San Joaquin County, California. The compost facility will be located in the southern portion of the property. The site is located in Section 3 of Township 1S, Range 7E, Mount Diablo Base-line and Meridian as shown of Figure 2. Access to the site is from Austin Road a rural two-lane, paved road oriented north/south connecting Mariposa Road to the north and ultimately connecting with Highway 99 to the south. Direct routes to Austin Road are provided by French Camp Road, Arch Road, Mariposa Road, Interstate 5, Highway 99, and Highway 120.
