DRAFT [TENTATIVE] WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS ORDER R5-2023-00XX 39 <br />FORWARD, INC. <br />FORWARD LANDFILL <br />SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br />action for releases (sections 22220–22222). As of the date of this Order, these <br />estimates, calculated in accordance with Title 27, are specified in Table 15. <br />Table 15—Current Cost Estimates (Financial Assurances) <br />Requirement Estimated Cost <br />Closure $ 27,854,721 <br />Post-Closure Maintenance $ 27,310,621 <br />Corrective Action $ 378,766 <br />132.This Order requires the Discharger to maintain financial assurances with <br />CalRecycle in accordance with Title 27 sections 22221, 22225, 22226. With the <br />addition of WMU FU-19, Forward Landfill herein will be referred to as one landfill. <br />133.The Discharger utilizes a surety bond (Title 27, section 22244) financial <br />assurance mechanism. The penal sum of the bond must be in the amount at <br />least equal to the closure and/or post closure and/or the corrective action cost <br />estimate, except as provided in Title 27, section 22228. Therefore, there is <br />currently no fund balance to report. <br />134.Title 27, section 22221 requires a cost estimate for corrective action of all known <br />or reasonably foreseeable releases. The Discharger submitted a 2014 cost <br />estimate of $345,574 for corrective action of all known or reasonably foreseeable <br />releases. As of 2021, the balance of the corrective action fund was $378,766. <br />This amount seems unrealistically low and this Order requires that the <br />Discharger re-evaluate the corrective action cost estimate and maintain financial <br />assurance with CalRecycle in at least the amount of the re-evaluated cost <br />estimate adjusted annually for inflation. See Section I, Table 17 Item 8. <br />California Environmental Quality Act <br />135.In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public <br />Resources Code section 21000 et seq., on 14 January 2020, San Joaquin <br />County Community Development Department certified a final Supplemental <br />Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) in connection with its issuance of a <br />SCH#2008052024. For purposes of the EIR, the “project” includes the following <br />pertinent elements: <br />a.Improvements to Intersection 11, Arch Road/Austin Road, Southbound; <br />b.Reduce the impact of increased truck noise to a level that would be less <br />than significant, if residences request funding and implement the <br />soundproofing measures;
