Chapter L Introduction ` <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> FProject Location <br /> The Austin Road Landfill site is located3 miles southeast of the City of Stockton (City). The <br /> site is 1 mile east of State Route (SR) 99, west of Austin Road, and approximately 2,000 feet south <br /> of the Northern California Youth Center facilities (Figure 1-1). <br /> I : <br /> , <br /> Project Purpose <br /> To meet the long-term disposal needs of its existing-and future population, the City is <br /> proposing to expand the Austin Road Landfill capacity. The existing landfill is expected to reach its <br /> planned capacity within 5 years.if the current waste stream is maintained. Without the expansion <br /> project, the City will be faced with finding an alternative disposal site by 2002. The proposed project <br /> would extend the He of the permitted landfill to 2053. The final environmental impact report (E1R) <br /> for the Austin Road Landfill Expansion Project (SCH 9002071 S) was certified by the Stockton City <br /> Council on September 6, 1994. <br /> The purpose of realigning Littlejohns Creek would be to maximize the area available for <br /> landfilling, reduce the overall cost of project design and implementation, and increase the habitat <br /> values of the creek corridor. The landfill expansion project could be implemented without relocating <br /> the stream channel, but with less than 50% of the proposed landfill expansion capacity and at a <br /> substantially higher cost. More importantly, the habitat values of the relocated channel would be <br /> much higher than they would be if the stream were maintained in its present location and constrained <br /> on both sides by high levees and the surrounding landfill.. <br /> t : <br /> Purpose of this Document <br /> The purpose of this document is to present the City's proposed resource mitigation and <br /> monitoring plan, fillip a onion of the north branch of the south fork of Little'ohns Creek that <br /> i✓ P € P J ! <br /> Welland Mitigation and Mornuoring Plan for the Chapter 1.
