�i Draft Environmental Impact Report Page IV.I-2 Forward Landfill Expansion k ! a variety of medical conditions. Wastewater Treatment f Wastewater treatment for the area including the project site is provided by the Regional Wastewater Control Facility located at 2500 North Navy Drive, operated by the City of Stockton Municipal Utilities Department. Wastewater delivered to the plant for treatment must be p analyzed, and must comply with the standards of the City of Stockton Wastewater Ordinance. Although the Department has not received leachate from the existing Forward Landfill in recent years, the Department has periodically accepted and treated leachate from the original Forward l. . Landfill in the past, the composition of which complied with the standards of the Wastewater Ordinance. As discussed in Section IV.F, Hydrology and Water Quality,leachate from the former Austin Road Landfill that was delivered to the treatment plant in 1996 exceeded the City's standards. The existing Forward Landfill has, under the terms of a separate permit, periodically delivered cleaning water from the landfills groundwater treatment system to the treatment plant. (Stiffler, 2009). Impacts and Mitigation k Standards of Significance The proposed project would have a significant impact with regard to public services and utilities if it would: a Result in substantial impacts associated with new or altered facilities for fire protection, police protection, schools, parks, or other public facilities, • Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board, • Require new or expanded water or wastewater treatment facilities that would have substantial environmental effects, r * Require new or expanded storm drainage facilities that would have substantial environmental effects, • Exceed available water supplies, • Exceed available wastewater treatment capacity, • Exceed available permitted solid waste disposal capacity, or • Fail to comply with laws and regulations concerning solid waste. Impacts on Police Protection Services Impact I.I. The additional operations of the proposed landfill expansion could adversely affect the ability of the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department and California Highway Patrol to provide police protection. As mentioned in Setting, above, the existing Forward Landfill has had low levels of police ! service calls in the past. The incremental addition of operations associated with the proposed landfill expansion project is not anticipated to substantially change the existing level of demand for police services from the Sheriff's Department. (Desmarais,2009). The proposed increase in truck traffic could increase traffic safety hazards;however, the California Highway Patrol does not anticipate this effect to be significant. (Kessler,2009). The following procedures are proposed as part of the project:
