Document Description
The Project will increase the capacity of the Tajiguas Landfill by expanding the disposal area footprint to the north and east by approximately 14.25 acres. The Project will provide approximately 6.1 million cubic yards of additional airspace for burial of solid waste to extend the estimated closure year of the Tajiguas Landfill to approximately December 2038. The Project will require vegetation removal, excavation, blasting, grading, slope contouring, slope stabilization, concrete pouring, paving, and relocation of utility lines and pipes. The Project will result in impacts to 15.7 acres of Crotch’s bumble bee (Bombus crotchii) habitat including temporary impacts to 5.5 acres and permanent removal of 10.2 acres of Crotch’s bumble bee habitat. The Project is expected to result in incidental take of Crotch’s bumble bee, which is a species designated as candidate for listing as endangered pursuant to CESA. The ITP referenced above as issued by CDFW authorizes incidental take of species listed under CESA that may occur as a result of Project implementation.
