San Joaquin County Environmental Checklist e. Because the proposed project would extend the operational lifetime of the landfill and increase the daily tonnage limit,more waste material would be disposed of at the facility,which could increase the potential for odor impacts to occur if not controlled during normal odor control practices and by the LFG collection system. The SJVUAPCD has issued guidance for the assessment of odor impacts associated with sanitary landfills,indicating that sensitive receptors located within 1 mile of a landfill could experience a significant odor impact (SJVUAPCD 2002). if sensitive receptors are located within this distance,the SJVUAPCD recommends that a detailed odor analysis be conducted,which entails a review of odor complaints received by the district against the facility in question for the previous 3 years. Information provided by the SJVUAPCD indicates that the SJVUAPCD has received no odor complaints against the NCRC&SL for the period of January 1999—May 2005. As previously noted,waste is covered with a minimum thickness of 6 inches of soil and/or alternative daily cover at the end of each operating day to control vectors,fires,odor,windblown litter,and scavenging. If there are offensive odors from a load of waste, it is to be covered immediately with soil,per current landfill operations policy. In addition,an LFG collection and treatment system will be installed by the county at the facility in 2006. With the daily covering of waste,the planned LFG collection and treatment system,and no odor complaints logged against the NCRC&SL for the last 6 years, it is not anticipated that significant odor impacts would result from the proposed project. Potential impacts are considered less than significant. No mitigation measures are required.
