Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.D-19 <br /> Forward Inc. Landfill 2014 Expansion Project <br /> Project(Flare)-Current Actual 256.4 253.0 237.7 237.7 22.6 46.7 _ <br /> Project(LFG Engines)-Current Actual 271.3 478.8 243.4 243.4 49.4 64.3 <br /> CEQA Threshold 10 100 15 15 27 10 <br /> Exceeds Threshold Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes <br /> SOURCE: SCS Engineers,2014 <br /> NOTES:All CEQA significance thresholds listed are from The SJVAPCD's GAMAQI(April,2012). <br /> See Tables ES-2 through ES-8,3-6A,3-613,3-7A,and 3-7B of the AQIA for more information.ES-2 through ES-7 provide the <br /> emissions associated with the current actual,current permitted,future potential(flares),and future potential(LEG engines), <br /> current actual vs.future potential,and current permitted vs.future potential,while Table ES-8 provides the net project _ <br /> emissions(without adding in the offsite mobile sources).Off-site mobile source emissions are provided in AQIA Table 3-14. <br /> Mobile source emissions based on a project rate of 620 haul trips per day,311 operational days per year,and 8,668 tons per <br /> day of waste acceptance:same as current permitted levels,but higher than actual baseline(212 haul trips per day and 3,500 <br /> tons per day of waste acceptance).Fugitive dust emissions are based on vehicle traffic on unpaved roads and surfaces.See _ <br /> AQIA Tables 3-5A,and 3-5B for details on mobile and fugitive dust emission calculations. <br /> Rule 2201 requires new and modified stationary sources of emissions to mitigate <br /> emissions using best available control technology and to offset emissions when above <br /> thresholds. All VOCs, CO, NOx, SOx, PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from stationary <br /> sources in excess of the applicable SJVAPCD threshold shall be offset by acquisition of <br /> emission offsets, as required by SJVAPCD Rule 2201 regulations. For example, under the <br /> Project (flare) -Current Actual scenario, a total of 22.0 tpy of NOx emissions would be <br /> offset (32.0 tpy- 10 tpy);while under the Project(LFG Engines)-Current Actual <br /> scenario, a total of 36.9 tpy of NOx emissions would be offset(46.9 tpy- 10 tpy). Thus, <br /> the stationary source NOx emissions would be mitigated with emission offsets and would <br /> be less than significant. _ <br /> Mitigation Measure D.2a. (Revises 2013 EIR Mitigation Measure D.2a.): The applicant <br /> shall comply with SJVAPCD Rule 2201 regulations to offset stationary source emissions of _ <br /> VOCs, CO, NO, SOX, PM10 and PM2.5 in excess of the applicable SJVAPCD thresholds. <br /> The applicant shall also comply with Regulation VIII and implement Mitigation Measure <br /> D.1 for operational activities such as earthmoving. <br /> Mitigation Measure D.2b. (Same as 2013 EIR Mitigation Measure D.2b.): The applicant <br /> shall enter into a Voluntary Emissions Reduction Agreement(VERA) with the SJVAPCD <br /> (to offset unmitigated mobile and fugitive emission impacts). The VERA shall cover _ <br /> increases in mobile and fugitive emissions(above the CEQA thresholds for NOx, PM10 <br /> and PM2.5) associated with the 8.0 mcy of new capacity. <br /> With implementation of Mitigation Measures D.2a and D.2b, stationary sources would be — <br /> mitigated (by D.2a) and project fugitive emissions and mobile emissions over the CEQA <br /> thresholds would be mitigated by the VERA. <br /> Impact D.3. Odor and Visible Dust Impacts (Same as 2013 EIR Impact D.4.) <br /> As bacterial decomposition proceeds, odoriferous compounds can escape from the _ <br /> landfill surface through cracks in the surface cover. Other possible sources of odors are <br /> the actual wastes. Some household and consumer products contain substances with <br /> distinctive odors. The major contribution to odors comes from two groups of <br /> compounds: the first group is dominated by esters and organosulfurs, and the second <br /> group consists of alkyl benzenes and limonene. <br />
