(See H.'Vegetation and Wildlife, Impact H-1. Filling of Waters of the U.S. / Waters of the State for additional discussion of these approvals.) r-► As part of the approval process, California Public Resource Code Section 50000 requires the County to make a finding that a proposed facility is consistent with the County General Plan and its objectives, policies and implementation measures. San Joaquin County considers a r-- development project to be consistent with the applicable General Plan land use designation 1 y (A/G) if the project is consistent with the applicable zoning (AG-40), it would not interfere with . IF the preservation of open space and riparian habitat areas designated OS/RC, and it is consistent with the General Plan and its objectives, policies, and implementation measures. (Funderburg, pers. com.2009). As discussed in San Joaquin County Zone Classification, above,the proposed project is consistent with the site's AG-40 zoning. The proposed project would not alter the North Branch of the South Fork of Littlejohns Creek. The proposed relocation of the South Branch of the South Fork of Littlejohns Creek would preserve the open space and riparian habitat values of the existing alignment of the North Branch. For these reasons, the proposed project would not conflict with objectives, policies, and implementation measures of the General Plan. F', Because the proposed project is consistent with the site's AG-40 zoning, would not interfere � with the open space and riparian habitat values of the North and South Branches, and would I , not conflict with the General Plan and its objectives, policies, and implementation measures, it would be consistent with the site's General Plan land use designations. 1. General Plan Solid Waste Disposal Policies The proposed project would not conflict with the Solid Waste Disposal Policies of the County of San Joaquin County General Plan Infrastructure Services Element, including Policy 1, which calls for mandatory waste collection, and Policy 2, which advocates the maximum use of solid waste source reduction, recycling, composting, and environmentally safe transformation of wastes. ! i , Policy 3 states that solid waste disposal facilities shall not cause contamination of surface-or ground-water. As discussed in F. Hydrology and Water Quality, the proposed project, with mitigation measures incorporated,would have a less than significant effect on surface and ground water quality. Policies 4 and 5, concerning location of new landfills, are not relevant to the proposed project. Policies 6 and 7 state that the County's Waste Management Plan shall be the basis for solid waste collection and disposal, and that all development shall be consistent with the County's Waste Management Plans. Consistency with this plan is discussed in Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan,below. General Plan Agricultural Land Policies The proposed project's consistency with agricultural land policies is discussed in Impact A.2, ^� below.
