Direct routes to Austin Road are provided by French Camp Road, Arch Road, Mariposa Road, Highway 99, and Highway 120 (see Figure 1). The entrance/exit to the RRF is located south of the South Fork of the South Littlejohn's Creek and is a 34-foot wide, 120-foot long paved entrance road. The Forward Landf il l has separate entranoes/exits as described in their Jo i nt Tec hnical Document (JTD). 1.6 Adjacent Land Use (14 CCR. Section 18221.6 (b)) Pursuant to the San Joaquin County 2010 General Plan, the land use designation for the RRF and landfill site is A/G (General/Agricultural), and the zoning is AG-40 (General/Agricultura l, 40-acre minimum lot size) as shown on Figure 3. The San Joaquin County Development Title specifies that Major Impact Services are allowed in AG-40 zone classification areas subject to a Use Permit. Major Impact Services, which include sanitary landfills, are defined as land intensive activities that must be located away from residences or concentrations of people due to the nature of the operation's impacts. Since the RRF is situated on the landfill property, it is considered a major impact facility and is operated conditionally in the AG -40 zone . The existing Forward Landfill is currently operated under the San Joaquin County Land Use Permit (UP-00-7) granted in 2003. Property to the east, west and south of the landfill is zoned A/G and property to the north is zoned Public/Institutional. Immediately north of the 33.23-acre RRF is the Forward Landfill and the approximate 184-acre buffer area of the landfill lies to the immediate west of the RRF. The land to the east and south is used for agriculture. The Northern California Youth Correctional Center, a criminal detention facility, is located on Newcastle Road approximately 1,900 feet north of the Forward Landfill. East of the correctional center is the recently constructed California Health Care Facility. The Stockton Metropolitan Airport is located approximately one mile west of the existing Forward Landfill. The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Intermodal Facility, a 470-acre train/truck cargo transfer and storage facility, is located approximately one mile northeast of the landfill site, along the railroad main lines. As shown on Figure 3, there is one residence located near the site (within approximately a half mile or less). The residence at 9690 Austin Road is approximately 500 feet from the landfill, on the east side of Austin Road across from the landfill's main entrance. This dwell i ng is currently rented by Forward, Inc. and is kept vacant. In addition , three residences, with surrounding ancillary structures, are located on the east side of Austin Road, approximately one mile north of the landfill's main entrance. Two additional residences, also with surrounding ancillary structures, are located east of Austin Road, south of the landfill/RRF.
