Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page III-12 Forward Inc.Landfill 2014 Expansion Project As summarized in Table III C-1, the project site includes the following: • An approximately 11-acre triangular parcel located in the northeast corner between Austin Road and the entrance road to the northern area of the landfill. (Sub-area E on Figure III.0-3) This parcel is intended for use as floodplain containment. • An approximately 10-acre parcel, located directly south of the triangular parcel, proposed to be filled with waste as part of the proposed project. The northern portion of this area contains the Ameresco Landfill Gas to Energy Plant. (Sub-area F on Figure III.0-3) • An approximately 11-acre easement along the South Fork of South Littlejohns Creek. (Sub-area G on Figure III.0-3) This area is proposed to be filled with waste as part of the project, and would be replaced by an approximately 11-acre easement for the realigned reach of the creek, located along the southern border of the landfill. • An approximately 16-acre easement for the relocated North Branch of the South Fork of Littlejohns Creek. (Sub-area C on Figure III.0-3) The North Branch previously traversed the northern portion of the existing landfill,but was relocated to the north boundary of the existing landfill, as part of the previously approved expansion of the former Austin Road Sanitary Landfill. • Easements for Newcastle and Austin Roads of approximately 2 acres each, on land owned by Forward, Inc. (Sub-areas B and H, respectively, on Figure III.0-3.) Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses Adjacent land uses include agricultural lands to the east, west, and south (See Figure IV.A-1 in _ the Land Use section). The Northern California Youth Correctional Center, a criminal detention facility, is located on Newcastle Road approximately 1,900 feet from the northernmost existing Forward Landfill disposal area and approximately 300 feet north of the soil borrow area in the CYA parcel. A women's prison, the Northern California Women's Facility, is located farther north of the site, at the southwest corner of Arch and Austin Roads. The women's prison is currently closed and does not house any inmates. The nearest runway of the Stockton Metropolitan Airport is approximately one mile west of the current Forward Landfill site. The - Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Intermodal Facility, a 470-acre train/truck cargo transfer and storage facility, is located approximately one mile northeast of the site, along the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe railroad main line. The surrounding project area is agricultural and sparsely populated. The nearest residence is located at 9690 Austin Road. It is located across Austin Road from the entrance facilities area and approximately 150 feet from the landfill entrance gate. This dwelling is currently rented by Forward and kept vacant. Two residences are located on Lynch Road, approximately 0.5 miles southeast of the site. In addition, two residences with surrounding ancillary structures are located on the east side of Austin Road, approximately one mile north of the main landfill entrance. Another residence with surrounding ancillary structures is located on Austin Road farther north of the site. Within two miles of the project site, the 2013 EIR identified four projects that have been recently approved. As discussed below, one of these, the California Health Care Facility,has been completed: • Arch Road Industrial Project, located on the south side of Arch Road between Austin and Newcastle Roads, west of the Northern California Re-Entry Facility (discussed below).
