ikw Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page I1I-17 Forward Inc.Landfill 2014 Expansion Project Permitted Waste Stream 4 The existing Forward Landfill is currently permitted and operated as a Class II(designated waste) and Class III(nonhazardous Municipal Solid Waste)landfill. The Forward Landfill's current Solid Waste Facilities Permit(SWFP)allows a maximum inflow rate of 46,080 tons per week,not to exceed 8,668 tons per day,including some beneficial reuse materials and materials delivered to the MRF. The permitted vehicle limit is 620 vehicles per day,however,in 2011-2012, the landfill has averaged 212 daily trucks.8 Both the tonnage and vehicle limits are combined limits for the Forward Landfill and Forward Resource Recovery Facility . The existing Forward Landfill may accept both nonhazardous municipal(Class III) and designated (Class II)wastes. It may also accept all wastes included in the Landfill's Joint Technical Document (JTD)such as wastes that meet the Class lI and III criteria for waste disposal as specified in the Waste Discharge Requirements(WDRs)10 issued by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality ;., Control Board(CVRWQCB)for the site,wastes granted a variance to be disposed of in a Class III waste management area including,but not limited to,asbestos and preprocessed treated automobile shredder waste,and a variety of nonhazardous commercial and industrial wastes including but not limited to sewage sludge;water treatment sludge;grit/grease;holding tank pumpings;storm drain cleanings;dredge and fill materials;rubbish;fiberglass;soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons,metals,nonpetroleum-based organics, and/or soluble solids;ash; treated infectious waste;metals-contaminated wastes;organic compound contaminated materials; chemical toilet waste;boiler blowdown water(in dry form only);construction and demolition waste;processed tires;septic tank pumpings;agricultural waste including cleansed pesticide containers and garden and landscaping material;inert waste;designated wastes compatible with bp surface impoundment liner;other industrial/commercial nonhazardous waste;small dead animals;and nonhazardous leachate. Some of the materials accepted at Forward are used as alternative daily cover(ADC) and can be classified as beneficial reuse. Under the provisions of Chapter 978,Statutes of 1996(AB 1647, Bustamante), alternative daily cover and other beneficial reuse of waste materials in the operation of a solid waste landfill were defined as constituting diversion through recycling(PRC Section 41781.3). In LEA Advisory 50,the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle)states that municipal solid waste landfills represent a potential ideal location for waste diversion end uses. Disposal sites typically have ready access to waste materials amenable „ to diversion and the diversion facilities necessary to produce these materials. Based on a review of Forward's fourth quarter of 2011 waste acceptance summary,the majority of materials accepted at the Forward Landfill are from San Joaquin,Stanislaus and Sacramento ` counties. Eighty percent of the material accepted at the Forward Landfill is from San Joaquin County and the directly adjacent counties. Only 0.04 percent of the waste was from San Francisco and Santa Clara counties. Of the materials accepted at the Forward Landfill from counties that are .. not directly adjacent to San Joaquin,the majority are beneficial reuse materials. The 2013 EIR described an approximately 7.5-acre pilot project for land application of cannery waste(see pages III-13 and III-14 of the 2013 EIR). As described under G.Recent Projects at the Forward Landfill,below,in February 2014 the Regional Water Quality Control Board issued new Waste Discharge Requirements for the Forward Landfill that included, among other 8 From January to mid-2014(at the time this SEIR was prepared),the average truck count was 227 per day. 9 The Forward Resource Recovery Facility incorporates both the transfer and material recovery operations at the site. It is also known as the Forward Materials Recovery Facility(MRF). 10 These Waste Discharge Requirements are on file with the Community Development Department. i"T Am
