Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page I11-11 Forward Inc.Landfill 2018 Expansion Project design, construction and operation of a centrally located and accessible, state-of- the art,environmentally-safe sanitary landfill which meets or exceeds local, State and Federal standards. • Support industrial and commercial growth in the County and surrounding communities by providing regional, centrally located and accessible Class II disposal capacity that no other currently permitted landfill in the County can provide. Class 11 disposal facilities provide for the environmentally safe containment of items such as contaminated soils,various types of construction and demolition wastes,ashes, and other materials that are critical to continued industrial and commercial growth and development in the County and surrounding regions. • Assist the County and surrounding regions in meeting the current California state legislative mandate for recycling or beneficially reusing the non-hazardous waste stream and thus diverting from landfilling, and also assist these communities in meeting increased state recycling and beneficial reuse goals,by providing for the recycling and beneficial reuse of several categories of waste materials received at the facility, such as green waste,wood waste, construction and demolition debris, shredder wastes, shredded tires, and other consumer recyclables. • Provide land area and facilities for an efficient, combined resource recovery and disposal operation to reduce or eliminate the need for solid waste to be delivered to multiple locations to achieve processing,beneficial re-use, and residuals disposal and thereby reduce green-house gas impacts and capital expenditures for improvements to roadways and associated infrastructure, such as transfer stations. • Provide disposal capacity for disaster related debris, such as from fires, floods, and earthquakes.

With the exception of two changes to nearby approved and proposed projects,which are discussed in Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses, below, and the installation of a larger Landfill Gas to Energy plant to replace the smaller plant described in the 2013 FEIR, discussed under Existing Landfill Gas to Energy Projec!E*isfiFcg below,there have been no changes to the site description in the 2013 FEIR. Project Location and Access The existing Forward Landfill is located southeast of the City of Stockton at 9999 South Austin Road in Manteca, California (see Figure III.0-1).
