EIR for Landfill Expansion

Below is a quick summary of the Proposal and Alternatives found in the EIR:

Proposal:  Increase the amount of garbage dumped daily at the landfill from 1000 tons to 2.300 tons. And expand the landfill footprint from 95 acres to 483 acres.

Alternatives Described in EIR:

Alternative 0: NO LANDFILL EXPANSION

Alternate 1A: 1,700 tons per day EXPANSION on landfill footprint of 483 ACRES ....once they have the acreage what will stop a future expansion request on the land (applicable to all of the alternatives)

Alternate 1B:  1,700 tons per day on landfill footprint of LESS THAN (???)  483 ACRES

Alternate 2A: 1,000 tons per day on landfill footprint of 483 ACRES

Alternate 2B:  1,000 tons per day on  landfill footprint of LESS THAN (???)  483 ACRES

Alternate 3: 300 tons per day Expansion of landfill with an expanded footprint 

                                                on A SMALL PORTION OF THE 483 ACRES

Alternate 4: The Southern Landfill Alternative...continue operations of existing landfill until it reaches capacity and then creating a NEW LANDFILL on the 101.3 County owned acres south of JSRL. ******BUT THEY WANT AN ADDITIONAL PURCHASE OF 67 ACRES ADJACENT FOR SOIL STOCKPILE PURPOSES. THE CURRENT LANDFILL ON 95 ACRES HAS HAD SOIL STOCKPILE REQUIREMENTS MET WITHOUT NEEDING ADDITIONAL ACREAGE

Alternate 5:  Transfer Station....construct facility Transfer Station in or near the City of Hollister to transfer waste to another landfill that's outside our county.
