TT\TrREASED 1^T7=E QUAN'TTTIES L RECYCT II.0 PROJECT FOOTHILL SANITARY LANDFILL INTRODUCTION The project of record is an application to San Joaquin County Public Health Services for a revised Solid Waste Facilities Permit at the Foothill Sanitary Landfill. The attached checklist addresses the environmental review required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970 and the revised CEQA Guidelines of 1994. For purposes of environmental review, the San Joaquin County Department of Public Works is the Lead Agency for this project. CEQA Guidelines Section 15168(b) encourages the reuse of data to reduce paperwork in the preparation of environmental documents. Therefore, the Tracy Materials Recovery and Transfer Facility (Final ETR, December 1993, SCH No. 93042093); the Corral Nollow Sanitary Landfill Increased Waste Quantities Supplement to the Initial Study and Negative Declaration (Neg Dec & Mitigation & Mitigation Monitoring Plans, April 1992, SCH No. 92032019); the Lovelace Road Transfer Station Expansion (EIR, April 1993, SCH No. 92092072); and the North County Recycling Center & Sanitary Landfill Recycling Element (Neg Dec, May 1992, SCH No. 92082082) were reference material in the preparation of the environmental assessment for the Increased Waste Quantities and Recycling Project, Foothill Sanitary Landfill. Data appropriate to this project from the published comments of responsible agencies, private citizens in the above documents and responsible agency comments and requirements, following the environmental Scoping Session meeting held January 4, 1995 describing this project, have been incorporated in this environmental assessment.
