San Joaquin County Environmental Checklist <br /> The project site is not currently enrolled in a Williamson Act contract. Properties <br /> adjacent to the project site are currently enrolled in Williamson Act contracts and <br /> are designated as Farmland Security Zone properties(east and south)or Prime <br /> Farmland(north and west)according to the Important Farmland Maps(California <br /> Department of Conservation 2005). <br /> Impact Discussion <br /> a. The proposed project would involve a vertical expansion of the NCRC&SL <br /> within the landfill's existing footprint. The proposed project does not include the <br /> lateral expansion of the facility within the existing landfill site,nor would the <br /> facility be expanded onto adjacent properties. Therefore,the project would not <br /> result in the conversion of Prime Farmland,Unique Farmland,or Farmland of <br /> Statewide Importance to a nonagricultural use. There would be no impact. No <br /> mitigation is required. <br /> b. Although the project site is zoned for agricultural uses,it is not currently used for <br /> agricultural uses and is not enrolled in a Williamson Act contract. Properties <br /> adjacent to the landfill site are zoned and used for agricultural uses and are <br /> currently enrolled in Williamson Act contracts(California Department of <br /> Conservation 2005). The proposed project does not include the lateral <br /> expansion of the facility within the existing landfill site,nor would the facility be <br /> expanded onto adjacent properties,and the project would not require the <br /> acquisition of adjacent agricultural lands currently under Williamson Act <br /> contract. There would be no impact. No mitigation,is required. <br /> C. The project does not involve the lateral expansion of the facility outside the <br /> current landfill footprint. Further,no new facilities or operational changes are <br /> proposed as part of the project. Landfill operations would continue as described <br /> in Chapter 1,Project Description,and no new construction is proposed as part of <br /> the project. Because the project would not involve changes in the existing <br /> environment that,due to their location or nature,would result in the conversion <br /> of agricultural land,there would be no impact. No mitigation is required. <br /> Notice of Preparation for the June 2006 <br /> North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill 2-13 <br /> J&S 06307.06 <br /> Permit Revision <br />
