Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page III-19 Forward Inc.Landfill 2018 Expansion Project Since the 2013 EIR was prepared,WMU FU-17 was constructed east of WMUs FU-13 and FU-14. WMU FU-17 was constructed to meet Class II(designated waste)requirements for base liners and LCRSs and is permitted to receive designated wastes. The existing Forward Landfill facilities also include a transfer station/materials recovery/composting facility (described under Existing Resource Recovery Facilities and Activities,on page III-14), soil borrow areas, composting areas, storage and support areas, and land application areas for cannery waste(see Figures III.0-2 and III.0-3). Permitted Waste Management Units (not yet constructed) As depicted in Figure III.0-3, future WMUs are currently permitted to the east of WMU FU-17 and in WMU Future H area(south of the South Fork),with liners and LCRSs similar to those presently used. As discussed above, WMU Future H will replace WMU G-South(currently the site of the materials recovery facility).WMU F South is currently permitted in the southwest corner of the existing Forward Landfill, south of the South Fork of Littlejohns Creek. WMU F South is permitted as a Class II impoundment. All of the areas that are permitted but have not yet been constructed as waste management units have been disturbed and used for purposes ancillary to landfill and recycling operations. Thus,these areas have been partially excavated for further cell development, or used for soil borrow, resource recovery, or ancillary facilities such as stormwater and sedimentation control. Permitted Waste Stream The existing Forward Landfill is permitted and operated as a Class II(designated waste)and Class III(nonhazardous Municipal Solid Waste)landfill. The Forward Landfill's 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 RRF. The permitted vehicle limit is 620 trucks per day,however,in 2017 and the first quarter of 2018,the landfill has averaged 233 daily trucks. Both the tonnage and vehicle limits are combined limits for the Forward Landfill and Forward Resource Recovery Facility9. 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 QTD)such as wastes that meet the Class II 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; 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.
