r <br /> Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page III-11 <br /> Forward Inc.Landfill 2014 Expansion Project <br /> The entire area of the existing Forward Landfill is 567 acres (including easements). The various <br /> sub-areas of the site and their approximate acreage are summarized on Table III.0-1, and shown <br /> in Figures III.0-2 and III.0-3. The current permitted disposal footprint is approximately 355 <br /> acres,of which the current constructed Waste Management Unit(WMU) area is approximately <br /> 306 acres, and the remainder is used for other landfill activities such as soil borrow and storage <br /> until it is converted to WMUs. Ultimately, as identified on Table III.0-1, the landfill"footprint" <br /> will be a total of 388 total acres,including both existing and future permitted waste <br /> management units, access roads, and easements. The areas of the site that are designated as <br /> waste disposal areas but have not yet been constructed have been disturbed and are used for <br /> soil borrow or material recovery activities. <br /> Table III.0-1 <br /> SUMMARY OF EXISTING SITE SUB-AREAS <br /> Area <br /> Location (acres) <br /> A.

The North Branch of the South Fork of Littlejohns Creek flows <br /> ` along the northern and northwestern boundaries of the project site.' The South Fork of South <br /> Littlejohns Creek traverses the southeast portion of the proposed project site. Both of these <br /> creeks generally flow from east to west. Original ground surface elevations range from 30 to 40 <br /> �. feet above mean sea level (MSL). The site is permitted to reach a maximum elevation of 210 feet <br /> MSL. <br /> The project site includes the approximately 126-acre California Youth Authority (CYA) parcel <br /> north of the northernmost existing disposal area (sub-area D). The CYA parcel is part of the <br /> Forward Landfill site but is restricted by the terms of its acquisition to use as a borrow site or <br /> for composting and agricultural uses. <br /> L <br /> r. 'The North Branch traversed the project site until it was realigned following the consolidation of the <br /> former Austin Road and Original Forward Landfills. The realignment was approved as part of the <br /> permits for the former Austin Road Sanitary Landfill. <br /> L <br />
