Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.A-17 <br /> Forward Inc. Landfill 2014 Expansion Project <br /> groundwater. As discussed in F. Hydrology and Water Quality, the proposed project, with <br /> mitigation measures incorporated,would have a less than significant effect on surface and <br /> ground water quality. <br /> Policies 4 and 5, concerning location of new landfills, are not relevant to the proposed project. <br /> Policies 6 and 7 state that the County's Waste Management Plan shall be the basis for solid <br /> waste collection and disposal, and that all development shall be consistent with the County's _ <br /> Waste Management Plans. Consistency with this plan is discussed in Countywide Integrated <br /> Waste Management Plan, below. <br /> General Plan Agricultural Land Policies <br /> The proposed project's consistency with agricultural land policies is discussed in Impact A.2, <br /> below. <br /> General Plan Fire Safety and Law Enforcement Policies <br /> The proposed project would not obviously conflict with the Fire Safety and Law Enforcement <br /> objectives of the General Plan Public Health and Safety Element, including Objective 1, which <br /> calls for fire protection and law enforcement to protect the public's health and safety, and <br /> Objective 2, which advocates prevention of fire and law enforcement hazards through physical — <br /> planning. <br /> As discussed in I. Public Services and Utilities, Setting, Fire Protection and Emergency Medical _ <br /> Services, and Impacts I.1, I.2, and 1.3, the proposed project would be located within 4.0 miles of <br /> a fire station (Policy 4) and, incorporating mitigation measures identified in this SEIR, would <br /> provide adequate access and water supply (Policies 2 and 5). <br /> General Plan Hazardous Materials and Wastes Policies <br /> As discussed in E. Public Health and Safety, the proposed project, including mitigation _ <br /> measures identified in this SEIR, would not obviously conflict with the Hazardous Materials <br /> and Wastes objectives of the General Plan Public Health and Safety Element, including <br /> Objective 1, which calls for protection of the environment and public from hazardous materials <br /> and wastes, and Objective 2, which advocates reduction of hazardous waste. <br /> As discussed in E. Public Health and Safety and F. Hydrology and Water Quality, the proposed <br /> project would include mitigation measures to address air, water, and soil contamination issues <br /> (Policies 1 and 2), and would be located away from population centers (Policy 3). As a waste <br /> disposal facility, the proposed project would not generate hazardous waste (Policy 4). <br /> Consistency with County waste management plans (Policy 5) is discussed in Countywide _ <br /> Integrated Waste Management Plan,below. <br /> General Plan Aviation Policies <br /> Consistency with General Plan policies regarding aviation is discussed under "Airport Land <br /> Use Plan and General Plan Aviation Policies" below. <br /> Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan <br /> Public Resource Code Section 50001 requires that the County make a finding that the proposed <br /> facility is identified in the most recent Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan. The <br /> former Austin Road and original Forward Landfills at the project site are currently identified as <br />
