that will be found to be appropriate following the study which will be a part of the EIR. Additionally, the Use Permit references the EMCON Report. Changes in technology and standard engineering practices since the EMCON Report was prepared have resulted in changes in construction specifications and landfill procedures. Therefore, the new Use Permit should reference the new Report of Disposal Site Information instead of the EMCON Report. 2. The SWFP. Forward, the CIWMB and PHS desire to update the SWFP, especially in regard to allowed average daily volume and peak daily volume. Forward will seek an increase in allowed daily and peak volumes, that will exceed 500 tons per day. Additionally, the SWFP references the 1976 Report of Disposal Site Information (111976) RDSI11) . Changes in technology and engineering practices since the EMCON report was prepared have resulted in changes in construction specifications and landfill procedures. Therefore, the revised SWFP should reference the new Report of Disposal Site Information. The CIWMB has informed Forward that to the extent that Forward proposes significant changes to the SWFP, such changes must undergo CEQA review. PHS has stated that appropriate CEQA review probably will entail the preparation of an EIR addressing the significant impacts and appropriate mitigation measures flowing from the significant changes. In addition, PHS and Forward each have indicated that numerous items should be mentioned in the EIR for informational purposes. I Subjects to be addressed in the EIR are described more fully in the 110EQA Review" section below. The WDR. Forward may seek to revise its WDR to reclassify certain pits in WMU D as Class II units in the near future. Such reclassification will be mentioned in the EIR; however, the process of revising the WDR will not affect the SWFP or the Use Permit. CEQA REVIEW As noted above, the EIR should address the impacts and mitigation measures pertaining to the significant changes proposed for the SWFP, and should contain numerous informational items. A. Significant Changes. The following changes to the SWFP will probably need to be evaluated for their significant impacts and mitigation measures under CEQA: 1. Increased average daily volume and peak daily volume 2. Treatment of contaminated soils in WMU G 3 . Use of daily cover materials other than "clean" soil B. Informational Items. Forward and PHS have indicated that a discussion of the following items, at a minimum, should be included in the existing setting section of the EIR, a technical appendix and/or other appropriate section:
