San Joaquin County Environmental Checklist <br /> d. No listed hazardous waste sites are known to exist within the area(Department of <br /> Toxic Substances Control [DTSC]web site)and would therefore have no impact. <br /> e. The airports nearest the landfill property are the Lodi Air Park,which is <br /> approximately 5 miles to the west,and the Stockton Metropolitan Airport,which <br /> is more than 15 miles to the southwest. Because the landfill property is not <br /> within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport,there would be no impact. <br /> f. No private airstrips are located within the project vicinity. Consequently,the <br /> proposed project would have no impact. <br /> g. The proposed project would not alter traffic patterns for emergency vehicles <br /> because the project does not involve the lateral expansion of the facility outside <br /> the current landfill footprint, and no new facilities or operational changes are <br /> proposed as part of the project. Further,the project would not require any road <br /> closures or detours. Any emergency plans that incorporate the landfill property <br /> would therefore not be affected by the implementation of the project. The <br /> proposed project would have no impact,and no mitigation is necessary. <br /> h. Because the proposed project does not include expansion of the landfill footprint <br /> or additional excavation beyond the footprint,the potential for fires is not <br /> increased by this project. The project site is not located in an area considered to <br /> be a high wildfire hazard area(San Joaquin County Fire Hazard Map 2000). <br /> Although landfills have an inherent fire risk because solid waste material <br /> contains a high proportion of combustible components,existing operating <br /> procedures and design features of the NCRC&SL operations greatly reduce the <br /> potential fire hazards at the site. These operating procedures include application <br /> of daily or interim cover of the disposed waste and implementation of a <br /> hazardous waste screening program. In addition,to prevent fires from spreading <br /> to neighboring properties,a firebreak is maintained along the site's perimeter. <br /> The firebreak is located just inside the perimeter roadway and is approximately <br /> 10 feet in width. These features, already incorporated into the project design, <br /> ensure that potential fire hazards are reduced to less-than-significant levels. No <br /> mitigation is necessary. <br /> Notice of Preparation for the June 2006 <br /> North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill 2-48 <br /> Permit Revision AS 06307.06 <br />
