Document Description
The project site is located at 17720 East Harney Lane (Assessor's Parcel Number 065-12-004), east of the City of Lodi in San Joaquin County. The project site includes the North County Sanitary Landfill and Recycling Center, which operates under a Solid Waste Facilities Permit (SWFP) issued by the County’s Environmental Health Department. The purpose of the project is to revise the provisions of the SWFP to increase the maximum allowed daily refuse disposal and the number of daily incoming refuse vehicles from 1,200 tons per day and 850 vehicles per day to 4,000 tons and 1,200 vehicles per day. This increase would involve a change in refuse truck routing; approximately 50 transfer trucks that currently go to the Foothill Landfill would be re-routed to the North County Landfill. The projected annual intake of the landfill would increase from 250,000 tons in 2024 to 660,000 tons in 2026, then increase 3 percent annually thereafter. The existing operating hours of 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. seven days per week would also be altered to 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Up to six new employees would be needed for the increase in waste disposal and truck trip-related activity. No new construction is proposed as part of the project, and the landfill's capacity would not change. Thus, because of the permit modifications without expanding current capacity, the existing projected closure date of the landfill would move from 2048 to 2043. The rate of additional cell and module construction on the project site would increase to accommodate the amount of waste accepted. Existing temporary and permanent waste cover methods would remain unchanged, and the haul routes would remain the same.
