the North Branch of the South Fork of Little Johns Creek,which currently flows between the proposed landfill expansion area and the existing landfill. When transferred to private ownership,the landfill will revert to the jurisdiction of San Joaquin County, and will require a County Use Permit, General Plan Amendment,and Zone Reclassification. It will also require changes in the City of Stockton's General Plan land use designation and zoning. The other required permits for the landfill expansion would remain in effect but would require transfer to the new landfill operators. B.PROJECT OBJECTIVES I • expand the landfill as a long-term disposal facility for the City of Stockton's waste in a manner consistent with current federal and State construction and maintenance requirements for a Class III(municipal solid waste)landfill • sell the permitted landfill(including the approved expansion and the related permits)to a private solid waste management firm that will own and operate the landfill III.
