Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page II-2 ' <br /> Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Expansion Project <br /> addition, approximately 11 acres of currently permitted landfill disposal area in <br /> the southern portion of the Forward Landfill would be relocated within the <br /> currently permitted landfill boundary due to realignment of the South Fork of <br /> South Littlejohns Creek(also known as the South Branch of the South Fork of <br /> Littlejohns Creek). <br /> • Increase the remaining landfill capacity by approximately 32.0 million cubic <br /> yards(cy)to approximately 54.0 million cubic yards(cy). All of the increase <br /> would be Class II landfill space and would extend the landfill closure date to <br /> approximately 20392. <br /> • Relocate approximately 3,000 feet of the South Fork of South Littlejohns Creek <br /> (which currently traverses the landfill)to the southeastern boundaries of the site <br /> to provide additional separation of the creek from the landfill.The relocated <br /> creek will be approximately 3,200 feet in length. ' <br /> • Allow cannery waste processing in areas of site that are not being used for <br /> disposal at the time. <br /> The Board of Supervisors certified the 2013 Forward Landfill Expansion Final <br /> Environmental Impact Report however the project application required an override to <br /> the Airport Land Use Plan by the County Board of Supervisors,which was not <br /> approved. <br /> In 2014,Forward proposed a smaller increase in permitted landfilling capacity that did not ' <br /> include the previously proposed expansion of landfilling operations on the 184-acre <br /> Brocchini parcel.This proposed increase in landfill acreage was entirely within the <br /> boundary of the 567-acres permitted under the current land use permit(UP-00-0007/ER- <br /> 00-0002)approved by the Board of Supervisors on April 8,2003. A Draft Supplemental EIR <br /> (DSEIR)was circulated for this proposed expansion in December 2014 and comment were <br /> received,but Forward abandoned the project before the Final Supplemental EIR was <br /> completed. <br /> The 2018 Expansion Project described in this Supplemental EIR is very similar to the <br /> 2014 proposal. It has a smaller increase in permitted landfilling capacity than the 2013 <br /> project and does not include the any expansion of landfilling operations onto the <br /> Brocchini parcel.The additional proposed landfill acreage is entirely within the <br /> boundary of the 567-acres permitted under the current land use permit(UP-00-0007/ER- <br /> 00-0002)approved by the Board of Supervisors on April 8,2003. <br /> The 2018 Expansion Project would make the following changes to the currently permitted ' <br /> landfill: <br /> • Landfilling of an 8.7-acre parcel in the northeast portion of the site within the <br /> currently permitted landfill boundary. <br /> 2 The 2013 FEIR estimated closure dates with and without that project of 2039 and 2021,respectively. <br /> However,2014 estimated closure dates with and without the 2013 FEIR project <br /> are 2045 and 2026,respectively. <br /> I <br />
