Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page III-10 Forward Inc. Landfill 2014 Expansion Project r continued industrial and commercial growth and development in the County and surrounding regions. • Assist the County and surrounding regions in meeting the current California state legislative mandate for recycling or beneficially reusing the non-hazardous waste stream and thus diverting from landfilling, and also assist these communities in meeting increased state recycling and beneficial reuse goals, by providing for the recycling and beneficial reuse of several categories of waste ' materials received at the facility, such as green waste, wood waste, construction and demolition debris, and other consumer recyclables (i.e. plastic, cardboard, metal, wood,grass brush, fabric, paper, and sheetrock). r- • Provide land area and facilities for an efficient, combined resource recovery and disposal operation to reduce or eliminate the need for solid waste to be delivered to multiple locations to achieve processing, beneficial re-use, and residuals disposal and thereby reduce green-house gas impacts and capital expenditures for improvements to roadways and associated infrastructure, such as transfer stations. C. SITE DESCRIPTION The existing Forward Landfill and surrounding land uses are described in III.0 Site Description, ' pages III-3 to III-9 of the 2013 Forward Landfill Expansion Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) and reproduced below. With the exception of two changes to nearby approved and proposed projects, which are discussed in Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses,below, and the installation of a larger Landfill Gas to Energy plant to replace the smaller plant described in the 2013 EIR, discussed under Existing Resource Recovery Facilities and Activities,below, there have been no changes to the site description in the 2013 EIR. 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 Figure III.0-1). 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. _ There are four entrances/exits to the site from Austin Road. The main entrance to the existing Forward Landfill is an approximately 65-ft wide gravel road that narrows to approximately 35- ft and extends approximately 2400-ft to the scalehouse. The main exit road parallels the entrance road and is paved for approximately 850-ft from the intersection at Austin road and is then gravel for another 1550-ft to the scalehouse. The portion of the exit road nearest Austin Road is approximately 50-ft wide and the road then narrows to approximately 35-ft wide. The main entrance is located approximately midway along the eastern boundary of the site. A second entrance/exit area is located in the northeast corner of the property and is used to access the northern portion of the landfill(the former Austin Road Sanitary Landfill). The entrance/exit to the transfer station/materials recovery facility is located south of the South Fork of South Littlejohns Creek. A 15-foot wide gravel access road is located directly north of the South Branch.
