Administrative Draft Environmental Impact Report Gill Medical Center Project storm drains and/or watercourses. The City and County are legal entities with the authority to administer, implement, and enforce the stormwater management program within their separate jurisdictions. Project Site Project site topography is mostly flat and developed with vineyards. The Project site does not contain any constructed stormwater improvements. Stormwater that falls on the site mostly infiltrates, evaporates or is directed to adjacent roadside drainages (West Lane and Ham Lane) managed by the County Public Works Department. 4.21.1.2 Solid Waste The unincorporated County is divided into six solid waste collection franchise areas, which are serviced by five solid waste collection services, including Central Valley Waste Services, Allied Waste, Gilton Solid Waste Management, Stockton Scavengers Association, and Delta Disposal Services. The San Joaquin County Code requires residential service once a week and commercial and industrial service a minimum of two times per week. In addition to curbside collection services, drop boxes are also provided to collect wastes in the unincorporated communities.There are three active solid waste disposal/landfill facilities in San Joaquin County, as listed in the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) Solid Waste Information System (SWIS).The Foothill Landfill and North County Landfill are Class III Landfills that are owned and operated by the San Joaquin County Public Works Department.The County also operates Lovelace Materials Recovery Facility and Recycle Center, a Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) facility.The Forward Landfill is the only Class II landfill in the County and is owned and operated by Forward Inc./Allied Waste North America. The County has implemented several aggressive special waste collection and recycling programs that have led it to surpass the recycling goals required by the State. Composting, enhanced recycling, and waste oil programs are provided at recycling centers, materials recovery facilities, and transfer facilities throughout the County.These facilities and programs include: nine active or planned green and agricultural waste composting facilities; nine transfer or processing facilities, and 73 recycling centers. In 2000, CalRecycle estimated the unincorporated area of San Joaquin County generated 369,581 tons of waste and disposed of 181,045 tons annually. Between 2000 and 2006, the County achieved a solid waste diversion rate around 58 percent, exceeding the state mandated goal of 50 percent diversion. The CalRecycle estimates that the three remaining landfills (the Forward Landfill, North County Landfill, and Foothill Sanitary Landfill) have sufficient capacity to serve the County potentially through 2054. The Certified Unified Programs Agency acts to consolidate six State-mandated environmental programs at the local level, and within the County includes the Hazardous Materials Program and the Hazardous Waste Program. These programs ensure the proper handling and disposal of hazardous material and wastes created by local businesses and industries, including hospitals. Project Site The Project site is currently in agricultural production and generates minimal amounts of solid waste. Utilities and Service Systems 4.21-4 October 2021
