<br /> <br />North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill Permit Revision Project <br />Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration · San Joaquin County | May 2025 <br />34 <br /> <br />liquefaction zone identified by the CGS (CGS 2024). Therefore, project activities would have no <br />impact related to landslides or liquefication due to seismic events. <br />b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? <br />No Impact <br />The project would not involve any construction activities, as it is limited to the expansion of <br />existing landfill operations. Surface soils within the project site have previously been disturbed <br />during previous construction and landfill operations. No additional grading or unplanned <br />excavation would occur, and existing erosion control methods will remain unchanged. Therefore, <br />the project would not result in substantial erosion or the loss of topsoil in relation to current <br />conditions, thus there would be no impact related to soil erosion or the loss of topsoil. <br />c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as <br />a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral <br />spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse? <br />No Impact <br />Various soil units are present within the project area. The project would not expand the landfill’s <br />current footprint; the project is limited to operational activities within the landfill. No <br />construction or expansion activities would occur as a result of the project. Thus, there would be <br />no impact related to unstable soils. <br />d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18 1 B of the Uniform Building Code, <br />creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property? <br />No Impact <br />The proposed project does not entail construction or the expansion of existing facilities and <br />would not expand the landfill footprint. Furthermore, compliance with Title 27 of the California <br />Code of Regulations regarding landfill siting and operations has previously established the <br />project site as being suitable for landfill operations. Consequently, there would no impact related <br />to risk of damage as a result of expansive soils. <br />e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative <br />wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of <br />wastewater? <br />No Impact <br />The project would not include the construction of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal <br />systems. No impact would occur. <br />f) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique <br />geologic feature? <br />Less-than-Significant with Mitigation Incorporated <br />The project site is an existing landfill and previous studies have not identified any <br />paleontological resources or unique geologic features. However unlikely, the potential for <br />paleontological resources to occur on the project site cannot be precluded, as the expansion of <br />the landfill’s operations will entail the excavation of modules within the project site. The project
