North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill Permit Revision Project Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration · San Joaquin County | May 2025 59 Other Public Facilities The project site is a County-operated landfill and recycling center in an unincorporated area of San Joaquin County. The County also operates Lovelace Materials Recycling Facility and Transfer Station, the Foothill Sanitary Landfill, and a Household Hazardous Waste Facility. DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS a) Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or other performance objectives for any of the public services: • Fire Protection? • Police Protection? • Schools? • Parks? • Other Public Facilities? Less-than-Significant Impact The proposed project would not provide any new governmental facilities. The project would not induce population growth or increase the use of any existing public facilities such that new facilities would be required. Therefore, the project would not result in substantial adverse impacts associated with the provision or physical alteration of governmental facilities, including fire and police protection services, schools, parks, or other public facilities. On the other hand, the project would re-route trucks from the other County operated sanitary landfill to the existing North County Landfill, which may minimally increase truck traffic on specific haul routes, increase the number of employees by up to six, and modify operating hours. However, impacts related to these factors would not be significant (see Section 4.2.17, Transportation). Furthermore, the project is limited to operational changes related to waste pick-up and disposal at a single landfill and no site expansion or additional waste facilities are proposed. Therefore, the impact would be less than significant.
