Draft Environmental Impact Report Page IV.I-4 Forward Landfill Expansion 1 The Lathrop-Manteca Fire District is able, with current safety procedures employed at the existing Forward Landfill,to provide adequate emergency medical service at this landfill. (Manding, 2009). Additional vehicle traffic and waste processing activities could increase the incidence of injury at the proposed landfill. The following procedures are proposed as part of the project: 4 • The project sponsor will continue to apply, to the entire expanded landfill, the safety procedures currently employed at the existing Forward Landfill and described in the Workplace Injury and Illness Prevention Plan. The project sponsor will furnish information regarding proposed disposal operations and safety procedures at the proposed expanded landfill,to the Lathrop-Manteca Fire District. • Monthly inspections of all facilities for safety will be conducted in accordance with the .. Safety Checklist prepared by the National Solid Waste Management Association (NSWMA) or other checklist of equivalent scope and detail. • Safety meetings with employees will be conducted to disseminate safety information, in accordance with procedures described in the JTD. • Personal protective gear will be provided for the safe handling of solid waste, as described in the JTD. According to the District,extending the current Forward Landfill safety procedures to the proposed expanded landfill would allow the District to provide adequate emergency medical service to the entire landfill. (Manding,2009). Therefore, implementation of these procedures would reduce emergency medical service impacts to a less than significant level. Mitigation Measure 1.3: None required. Impacts on Wastewater Treatment Impact I.4. The proposed project could generate additional leachate that,if disposed at the City of Stockton Regional Wastewater Control Facility,could adversely affect plant operation. ' As discussed in Setting, above, leachate from the existing Forward Landfill has been accepted in the past, after analysis, for treatment at the City's wastewater treatment plant. The anticipated volume of leachate that would be generated at the proposed landfill would not have a substantial effect on the treatment plant's capacity. Leachate from the proposed expanded landfill with a composition similar to that generated in the past at the existing Forward Landfill would not adversely affect treatment plant operations. However, leachate from the landfill, which includes the former Austin Road Sanitary Landfill (see Hydrology and Water Quality, Impact F.3),with a composition that varies from that of the past, could adversely affect treatment plant operation. The following procedures are proposed as part of the project: • If leachate is delivered to the City of Stockton Regional Wastewater Control Facility,the project sponsor will provide for independently corroborated test results to the City to demonstrate the chemical composition of the leachate extracted from the proposed landfill expansion project. Monitoring and testing of landfill-generated leachate will meet the requirements of the City of Stockton Wastewater Ordinance and the City Municipal Utilifies Department. a
