Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.A-15 -f Forward Inc. Landfill 2014 Expansion Project The 2013 expansion project included approximately 184 acres of agricultural land located south and west of the current permitted landfill areas. This area is not part of the currently proposed Project. The 126-acre CYA parcel in the northeast portion of the existing Forward Landfill contains approximately 59.4 acres of agricultural land. The agricultural land in the CYA parcel ` would not be affected by the proposed 2014 Expansion Project. Williamson Act The 2013 EIR discussed Land Conservation (Williamson) Act contracts, and procedures for non- renewal and cancellation for Williamson Act contracts. The 2014 Expansion Project is not on land subject to a Williamson Act contract. Multi-Species Conservation and Open Space Plan San Joaquin County adopted the San Joaquin Multi-Species Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP) in February 2001. The SJMSCP serves as comprehensive mitigation for impacts to threatened, endangered, rare, and other unlisted SJMSCP Covered Species. Participation in the SJMSCP is voluntary. Forward, Inc. is currently participating in the SJMSCP for the existing — landfill. Impacts and Mitigation Measures _ Standards of Significance The proposed project would have a significant impact with regard to land use, planning, and agricultural land if it would: • Physically divide an established community, - • Conflict with applicable land use plans, policies, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to, the General Plan, specific plans, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect, • Conflict with an applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan, or • Convert farmland to non-agricultural use. This section updates the impacts and mitigations considered in the 2013 EIR, to account for changes in the proposed project. To facilitate review of the section and comparison of analyses between the 2013 EIR and this document, the heading for each impact or mitigation measure reflects whether that impact is the same, revised, or replaced. For example, the heading for Impact A.1 is "Impact A.1: Compliance with County Plans and Policies. (Revises 2013 EIR Impact A.1)";the heading for Impact A.5 is "Impact A.5 Night lighting at the proposed project could interfere with airport landing lights. (Same As 2013 EIR Impact A.5)". Impact A.1: Compliance with County Plans and Policies. (Revises 2013 EIR Impact AM Project-related policy conflicts and inconsistencies do not, in and of themselves, constitute a significant environmental impact and are considered to be environmental impacts only when they would result in direct physical effects, which this EIR identifies pursuant to CEQA.
