d Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page III-31 Forward Inc.Landfill 2014 Expansion Project After realignment of the South Branch,the main entrance,office trailer,scale house and scales b" would be relocated to the southeast corner of the landfill. The relocated main entrance would include a bridge over the relocated channel of the South Fork of South Littlejohns Creek(described above). During excavation of the expansion area, the existing leachate evaporation basin(WMU F ,. North)and sedimentation basin would be removed and replacement basins built west of the southern development area(see Figure IH.0-6).Closure and relocation of the leachate and sedimentation basin would be in accordance with applicable regulations and as approved by the �.. regulatory agencies. At a later time,during the last few years of operation,the office trailer,scales,fee booth and other support facilities would be moved to a location outside the southeast corner of the landfill,but y" within the property boundary,to construct the liner system and waste fill in the southeast corner. Continue Current Procedures and Activities .. Under the 2014 Expansion Project,other current Forward procedures and activities at the existing Forward Landfill,would be continued without change. In general,procedures at the existing Forward Landfill that are appropriate to the Class II wastes currently disposed would be expanded to encompass the expanded landfill to allow disposal of Class II wastes in the entire landfill development area. G.RECENT PROJECTS AT THE FORWARD LANDFILL The 2013 EIR described three "recent and associated projects" of the proposed expansion: the facility boundary revision; the Landfill Gas to Energy (LFGTE) Project; and the Revision of Waste Discharge Requirements. The facility boundary revision, approved January 6, 2011, added the 184 acres in the southwest portion of the site to the Forward Landfill facility boundary, but did not allow any landfill related activities on this parcel. The LFGTE Plant was constructed in 2013 and is now operational. Also, in February 2014 the Regional Water Quality Control Board issued new Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) R5-2014-0006 for the Forward Landfill which included, among other modifications, lowering of base grades to the regulatory limit of five feet above the historical high groundwater level and the land application of cannery waste in the northern portion of the site (north of the North Branch of the South Fork of Littlejohns Creek). s H. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS AND PERMITS The existing Forward Landfill operates under a variety of permits issued by local, state, and federal governing agencies. These permits are identified in Table III.0-2 of the 2013 EIR (reproduced below), and have not changed since the 2013 EIR was prepared. ,�. The 2014 Expansion Project would require modifications to the following permits, which are described on pages III-34 and III-35 of the 2013 EIR: • the Solid Waste Facilities Permits (SWFPs) for the landfill and the resource recovery facility (RRF) issued by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) and San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department's; is On April 26,2012,Forward entered into a stipulated Settlement Agreement,Consent Judgment and Injunction with the San Joaquin County District Attorney whereby Forward agreed: (a)to report to the *W Local Enforcement Agency—the San Joaquin County Health Department(LEA)all tons of solid waste received at the Forward facility, (b)to inform the LEA if any haulers refused to advise the Forward scalehouse of the origin of their waste loads,(c)to not accept untreated medical waste, (d)to maintain its %W A–
