Proposed project site is subject to the Agricultural Resource Management Zone: The proposed request is to amend the current facilities waste boundary only and no additional landfill activities will occur in the 184 acres. The site is currently zoned AG-40 (General Agriculture, 40-acre minimum) and has not been rezoned to(ARM)Agricultural Resource Management. Cumulative impacts when combined with other anticipated development: The proposed request is to amend the current facilities waste boundary only and update the landfill gas probe monitoring system no additional landfill activities will occur in the 184 acres. The cumulative effects of the proposed request, together with existing, approved and likely development have been reviewed. The initial study found no potentially significant impacts or cumulative impacts and a Negative Declaration was posted. Williamson Act The proposed solid waste facility boundary amendment if approved will encompass 184 acres of agricultural land under Williamson Act Contract No. 72-C1-398. Forward, Inc. served a Notice of Nonrenewal for Williamson Act Contract No. 72-C1-398, on October 13, 2005. The Notice of Nonrenewal was recorded with the San Joaquin County Recorder's Office as Document No. 2005-256394 on October 13, 2005. Pursuant to the Notice of Non-Renewal, the Williamson Act contract on the subject property will expire on March 1, 2015. However, expansion into the 184 acres is not permitted at this time and this will not be a conversion of the contracted land because no increase in waste placement will occur under this application. Additionally, in a letter dated December 15, 2010 the Department of Conservation did not raise any issues or concerns with the proposed request, as the proposed request is not to expand the current permitted refuse footprint on to the 184 acres of contracted land. Airport Land Use Plan and Adopted Plans The project site boundaries and proposed amended boundaries fall within the comprehensive airport land use plan for the Stockton Metropolitan Airport. The nearest runway of the Stockton Metropolitan Airport is one mile west of the existing Forward Landfill. This application is to amend the existing solid waste facility permit boundaries only under Title 27 CCR (California Code of Regulations) and is not for additional waste placement or disposal. Expansion into the undeveloped southwest area of the current permitted landfill site is not permitted. Therefore, the proposed facility boundary amendment will have less than a significant impact on airport imaginary surfaces. A letter dated December 9, 2010 was received from the Airport Land Use Commission(ALUC)stating the ALUC will consider this project as a consistent land use under the 1993 Airport Land Use Plan for Stockton Metropolitan Airport. The project is also consistent with the Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan and no additional Master Plan, Specific Plan or Special Purpose Plan are applicable to this solid waste facilities boundary amendment application.
