I. Introduction open to the public and franchised collectors. The Forward,Inc.Landfill is a half(0.5)mile south of the Austin Road Landfill and accepts waste only from Delta Container Corporation collection vehicles. This site also has a transfer station/resource recovery center. The Forward,Inc. Landfill is a Class II landfill that accepts residential wastes,tires,septic tank pumpings, agricultural wastes,inert wastes,construction and demolition wastes,nonhazardous commercial and industrial wastes,asbestos and treated automobile shredder waste. Although the Forward, Inc.Landfill no longer accepts these wastes,in previous years Forward,Inc.Landfill also accepted Class I hazardous wastes and cannery wastes. Johns-Manville Landfill is used only for disposal of the wastes from the Johns-Manville plant,which generates asbestos-cement pipe and polyvinylchloride pipe. The California Clay Landfill is a limited Class II landfill that accepts dirt,concrete,and non-liquid,non-petroleum,non-putrescent,inert wastes from an automobile demolition facility. The Forward,Inc.Landfill,the closest landfill to the proposed project site,is owned by Forward, Inc. They are planning to do the following: ® increase permitted disposal rates; • establish a maximum height for the landfill; • reclassify and expand existing Class III area to Class II; • permit additional sludge treatment processes; • permit composting and sludge composting; • permit alternative daily covers; • expand the transfer station/recycling center building from 12,000 to 50,000 square feet;and • permit treatment of soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons of other approved compounds. This would make an additional 5 million cubic yards of disposal capacity potentially available for Class II wastes. The County has not yet certified the Final EIR for the landfill use permit modifications(Martin, 1993). I.5
