` Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page III-5 Forward Inc. Landfill 2014 Expansion Project • Increase the remaining landfill capacity by approximately 32.0 million cubic yards (cy) to approximately 54.0 million cy. All of the increase would be Class II landfill space and would extend the landfill closure date to approximately 2039.' • Relocate approximately 3,000 feet of the South Fork of South Littlejohns Creek(which currently traverses the landfill) to the southeastern boundaries of the site to provide additional separation of the creek from the landfill. The relocated creek will be approximately 3,200 feet in length. • Allow cannery waste processing in areas of site that are not being used for disposal at the time. This prior expansion project would have allowed landfilling activities within 10,000 of the Stockton Metropolitan Airport, and required a four-fifths vote of the Board of Supervisors to i 60 override the County Airport Land Use Commission finding that this proposed expansion project was not in conformity with the 1993 San Joaquin County Airport Land Use Plan. This former project failed to achieve the required vote. However, the Board of Supervisors certified the Forward Landfill Expansion Final Environmental Impact Report (San Joaquin County, May 2013) to- ("FEIR") in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The 2014 Expansion Project described in this Supplemental EIR is a smaller increase in permitted landfilling capacity that does not include the previously proposed horizontal expansion of landfilling operations on the 184-acre Brocchini parcel.The additional proposed landfill acreage is entirely within the boundary of the 567-acres permitted under the current bin land use permit(UP-00-0007/ER-00-0002) approved by the Board of Supervisors on April 8, 2003. The 2014 Expansion Project would not entail putrescible waste (waste streams other than concrete,rock, asphalt,wood and yard waste)in the Outer Approach and Climbout Areas of the Stockton Metropolitan Airport,expansion of landfilling operations to within 10,000 feet of ■- the end of the runway of the Stockton Metropolitan Airport, or expansion of landfilling operations on to any parcels of land under Williamson Act contract. ` The 2014 Expansion Project would make the following changes: • Allow the construction of landfill disposal cells and landfilling operations within those cells on an 8.7-acre portion of the 10-acre parcel(described in the 2013 EIR)that lies in the northeast portion of the site within the currently permitted landfill boundary. (The remaining 1.3 acres of the 10-acre parcel is occupied by a landfill gas-to-energy plant and is not proposed for landfill.) In addition,approximately 6.2 acres of landfill disposal area is proposed to be added to the currently permitted landfill footprint in the south area by shifting the existing disposal footprint to the north and realigning the South Fork of South Littlejohns Creek to the southern and eastern boundary of the site(see Figures IH.0-4 and IH.0-5).In the south,a total of 30.0 acres would be filled under the 2014 Expansion Project, consisting of 23.8 acres previously permitted for disposal plus 6.2 acres of additional 'The 2013 FEIR estimated closure dates with and without that project of 2039 and 2021,respectively. However,2014 estimated closure dates with and without the 2012(previously proposed)project are 2045 and 2026,respectively.
