Draft Environmental P Impact Report Page 111-2 P Forward Inc. Landfill Expansion • Accept up to 5,487 tons per day(tpd)of beneficial reuse materials(green waste,ash, cement, shredded tires),and quantify the currently-permitted 500 tpd of material delivered to the Materials Recovery Facility(MRF)separately, rather than as part of the currently permitted 8,668 tpd of wastes accepted,resulting in a net maximum increase of 5,987 tons per day • Additional electricity generation with landfill gas • Lower the base level of the northeast area of the landfill from seven feet above mean sea level to one foot below mean sea level,resulting in a capacity increase of 840,000 cubic yards The expansion of the disposal area and lowering of the base level of the northeast area of the landfill would increase total landfill capacity by approximately 43.4 million cubic yards beyond currently permitted levels, which would allow disposal at the landfill to continue until 2034. Most site.operations would remain as described for the existing Forward Landfill,below. Existing and proposed conditions and operations at the site are described in detail in this chapter. B. PROJECT OBJECTIVES The project applicant, Forward, Inc., seeks to provide additional refuse capacity to meet the disposal needs of San Joaquin County and the greater region, with the following specific objectives: • Continued design and operation of a safe and efficient landfill with state-of-the-art environmental protection features which meet or exceed local,State, and Federal standards. • Minimize the impacts of refuse disposal through a well-engineered and environmentally sound operation. • Prolong the life of existing landfill facilities by expanding into contiguous areas that complement and blend with the existing setting. • Continue to provide landfill disposal capacity to the region. • Continue and expand existing waste diversion and beneficial re-use activities. C. SITE DESCRIPTION Project Location and Access The existing Forward Landfill is located southeast of the City of Stockton at 9999 South Austin Road in Manteca, California (see Figures III.0-1 and III.0-2). Access to the site is from Austin Road, a rural two-lane, paved road oriented north/south connecting with Mariposa Road to the north and ultimately connecting with Highway 99. French Camp Road, Arch Road, Mariposa Road, Interstate 5, Highway 99, and Highway 120 provide access to Austin Road.
