Sect/OR 18227(b). This RCSI describes the design and operation of the Forward, Inc. (Forward) Compost Facility (Compost Facility). The Forward site is an existing solid waste disposal and resource recovery facility (RRF) located at 9999 South Austin Road.ffi Manteca, California (see Figure 1). The site is wholly-owned and operated by Forward. The landfill was permitted and opened in 1973. The RRF began operations in 1975. The Forward operates an RRF building is located in the south eastern portion of the site. and is and separation area in the Sout h Area operated in compliance with SWFP No. 39·AA -0020 (see Appendix A). The compost facility is located in the same area as the RRF (southeastern portion of the overall property) ad jacent to just north the RRF building (to the north. south . and west ). as shown on the Site Plan s (Figure s ~1 and lA). The Compost Facility is also included under SWFP No. 39-AA-0020 and began operation in 1994. The Forward RRF /Composting Facility serves the San Joaquin County cities of Stockton . Lathrop . Manteca . as well as jurisdictions in Sacramento County (the cities of Citrus Heights, Elk Grove , and Rancho Cordova ) and Stanislaus County (the cities of Oakdale , Hughson . and Waterford ). Al+-a8 ccess to the site is from Austin Road, with the entrance ',..,hioh runs along the eastern site boundary , south of the Forward Landfill main entrance and the South Fork of South Littlejohn's Creek . The pri mary entrance is at the entrance facilities area in the northeast corner of the site. A second access road is located approximately 50 feet north of the South FOFI~. A th ird access road is located at the RRF entrance. An intermittent creek, the South Fork of South Little john's Creek , crosses the site in a southwesterly direction. The creek is a tributary to South Littlejohn ~s Creek, itself a tributary to French Camp Slough, which ultimately discharges into the San Joaquin River. Surface water runoff from the northern portion of the siteNorth Area that has not contacted any waste , or has contacted waste and meets t he water quality oriteria for storm "'t'ater d ischarges, is collected in onsite storm water dra i nage basins ~ from which it may beis disoharged to the South Forl< of South Little john's Creek (either fork depending on which side the precipitation falls ), All runoff from the northern portion of the site North Area that has contacted waste is collected and pumped into one of two tfle-.leachate evaporation pond ~ located on sitea long the south perimeter. The entire RRF and separation area is bermed for screening purposes and to segregate non-contact storm water from the RRF operations. Curren t ly , potentially contaminated runoff from the South Area is pumped either to the leachate e,'aporation pond or the sedimentat ion basin in the North Area. All runoff from the RRF /Composting Facility runs along the north and south perimeter ditches to the sedimentation basin in the southwest area of the RRF /Composting Facility site. WDR Order No. R5-2014-0006 requires that the sedimentation basin is sized to contain at least a 25- year. 24-hour storm event and be equipped with a synthetic liner.
