Landfill Expansion. The environmental issues to be discussed in the SEIR <br /> include (1) Air Quality/Odors: The SEIR will access the public health consequences <br /> from potential chronic, acute, or accidental release of designated hazardous wastes into <br /> the air from the proposed expansion of the disposal footprint and (2) Climate Change: <br /> The SEIR will analyze issues of greenhouse gas emissions related to the operations of <br /> the project and the corresponding traffic. The revised project in the proposed SEIR in <br /> relation to the Final EIR does not include the previously proposed expansion of landfill <br /> operations onto the adjacent 184.0 acre parcel. The District commented on the 2012 <br /> Draft EIR for the Forward Landfill Expansion project (District reference # 20120584). <br /> The major modifications being proposed are: <br /> • Increase the existing disposal footprint from approximately 355 acres to 366 acres <br /> • Increase the remaining landfill capacity by approximately 7.7 million cubic yards (cy), <br /> from 20.0 million cy (as of February 2014) to approximately 27.7 million cy <br /> • Relocation of 3,200 feet of the South Branch of the South Fork of Littlejohns Creek <br /> to the southeastern boundaries of the project site <br /> Seyed Secfredln <br /> Executive DiroctorlAlr Pollution Control Officer <br /> Northern(legion Central(legion(Main Office) Southorn Region <br /> 4800 Enterprise Way 1990 E.Gettysburg Avenue 34946 Flyover Court <br /> Modesto,CA 953568718 Fresno,CA 937269244 Bakersfield,CA 93308-9725 <br /> Tel:(209)5576400 FAX:(209)5576475 Tel:(559)2306000 FAX:(55912306051 Tel:661.3925500 FAX:661.3925585 <br /> mwi.valleyair.org mvw.heal thyairfiving.com <br /> Am'�M ilcr•'klpfFti <br />
