Forward Landfill – SIR 2 www.scsengineers.com 2 INTRODUCTION 2.1 PURPOSE In accordance with California Code of Regulations Title 27 (27 CCR) Section §21695, operators of solid waste landfills are to submit a Status Impact Report (SIR) to the Department of Resources, Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) that provides an analysis of the potential impacts to the landfill resulting from the implementation of the organics disposal reduction requirements of Public Resources Code Section 42652.5. The SIR describes the potential impacts to the landfill and expected timing of impacts. 2.2 SITE BACKGROUND This SIR has been prepared for the Landfill, located at 9999 South Austin Road, Manteca, California. The Site is owned and operated by Forward Inc. The site is an active permitted Class III municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill with Class II waste management units and operates under Solid Waste Facility Permit (SWFP) 39-AA-0015, which CalRecycle issued in July 2021. The Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) for the Site is the County of San Joaquin Environmental Health Department. Additional Site information can be found in the JTD prepared by Lewis Engineering in October 2020, revised in May 2021. The Site has a permitted area of 744 acres. Per the current SWFP, the permitted used waste footprint is approximately 371.8 acres. The permitted waste disposal area at the Site consists of waste management units (WMUs): WMUs A, B, C, D, E, F, G, FU-03, FU-04, FU-05, FU-06, FU-08, FU- 10, FU-13, FU-14, FU-17, and FU-19. To prepare for inclement weather, the Site moves the active waste disposal operations to an area designated as the Wet Weather Pad during the winter season. Per the 2021 JTD, Lewis Engineering estimated the remaining landfill airspace capacity. Lewis Engineering noted that as of January 31, 2020, approximately 21,737,819 CY of airspace were available at the Site under the approved site development plans. The projected closure year for the landfill was estimated to be 2036. 3 SITE DEVELOPMENT 3.1 CURRENT OPERATIONS The Site encompasses 744 acres; approximately 371.8 acres are permitted for waste disposal. WMU FU-19 is the current active disposal phase. Per the July 2021 SWFP, the Site is permitted to operate 6 days per week (Monday through Saturday) with a current maximum waste disposal rate of 8,668 tons per day (tpd). 3.2 PROPOSED OPERATIONS Waste-filling operations will continue within the existing landfill footprint until final grades are met. New waste placement is ongoing until the approximate closure date of 2036. Future waste disposal will occur in WMUs east of WMU FU-17 and in WMU Future H area. WMU Future H will replace WMU G-South which is currently the site of the materials recovery facility. WMU F-South is currently permitted to be constructed in the southwest corner of the existing Forward Landfill and will be a Class II surface impoundment. At final grades, the maximum fill elevation will be 210 feet above mean sea level (msl), as specified in the current JTD.
