CIWMB that it has been placed in the operating record. Identified in EIR: The project sponsor shall include downward shielding of new landfill lighting,and shall abide by any additional reasonable and feasible measures, including reducing or eliminating lighting during foggy conditions,that are designated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Stockton Metropolitan Airport to mitigate lighting impacts that could be caused by the proposed project. 5. REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD (Staff Contact: Ross Atkinson, 916-255-3000) a. A (A.3) Proposed as Part of the Project: Existing measures to discourage birds from the landfill will be continued. Surface area of ponds will be limited to the extent feasible. b. 44(17.1) Proposed as Part of the Project: As part of the design plans for the proposed landfill, Forward Landfill completed calculations of the 1000-year peak discharges. The hydraulic and drainage study was used to design appropriate drainage controls. Drainage controls were designed to prevent contact between surface water and refuse. Site run-on and run-off control facilities consist of drains and perimeter ditches that channel surface water to lined holding and evaporation ponds on the site. The surface-water collection drain system will be designed to divert the water to the storm water collection basin in the southwest comer of the current Austin Road Landfill, at times when enough surface water accumulates to have discharged into the collection basin. All waste at the proposed Forward Landfill will be separated from the north and south branches of Littlejohns Creek by a levee system or other acceptable method designed to protect the site from a 100-year flood event. The project includes channel reconfiguration and localized flood protection berms to isolate the landfill surfaces from floodwaters. The project design also includes provision of replacement floodplain area and storage volume in an easement along the relocated North Branch of the South Fork of South Littlejohn Creek. The channel and floodplain storage easement are designed to accommodate the 100-year, 24-hour storm. The design also includes a three-foot freeboard. c. 45(F.2) Proposed as Part of the Project: The JTD articulates the programs of drainage control structures and monitoring to inhibit erosion and sedimentation. Proposed structural controls include the drainage control system and daily cover. Operational controls include maintenance of the drainage system by keeping ditches clear of debris and excessive vegetation, and making needed repairs to drainage structures. Corrective measures will be implemented if inspections show excessive erosion or damage to drainage channels. Eroded areas will be mitigated by removing loose debris followed by replacement, regrading, and compacting the area. Monitoring and protection against sediment from entering the Littlejohns stream channel will be implemented, including the diversion of part of Littlejohns Creek farther away from the landfilled area. In order to minimize sediment transport to the Littlejohns Creek, landfill slopes, ridgetops, and San Joaquin County UP-00-7, ER-00-2\Forward, Inc. Page 14 Community Development
