Addendum #2 to the Yolo County Central Landfill Permit Revisions EIR

The project pertains to an addendum to the Yolo County Central Landfill Permit Revisions Environmental Impact Report, adopted by the Yolo County Board of Supervisors on May 26, 2026, to clarify and expand upon the use of landfill gas and biogas for the production of renewable natural gas and electricity. This addendum, identified as Addendum #2 to the 2021 EIR with State Clearinghouse Number 2020080465, confirms that the proposed modifications are consistent with the original environmental analysis and result in no new significant environmental effects or substantial increases in previously identified impacts. The project is located at the existing landfill site in Woodland, California, with the primary focus on implementing new equipment and operational protocols to enhance biogas utilization while maintaining compliance with the mitigation measures established under the 2021 Certified EIR. All environmental review activities are overseen by the Yolo County Department of Community Services, Division of Integrated Waste Management, with Stephanie Cormier serving as the primary point of contact for environmental compliance and permitting matters. The project includes a comprehensive Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program requiring detailed environmental protections, including biological surveys for protected species like the giant garter snake, conducted by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service-approved biologists prior to ground-disturbing activities. Operational protocols mandate daily vehicle inspections, dewatering procedures, exclusion fencing, and strict prohibitions on pets and firearms to prevent wildlife harm. All personnel must complete environmental awareness training, and a site-specific Health and Safety Plan is required to ensure worker protection. Paleontological resource protection measures include mandatory crew training and immediate work stoppage upon fossil discovery. Erosion control methods are restricted to avoid wildlife entanglement, and farmland mitigation ratios are enforced based on soil quality. No federal contract clauses, pricing details, delivery schedules, invoicing systems, or procurement evaluations are applicable, as this is a state-level environmental compliance document governed under CEQA rather than a federal procurement instrument. All documentation is administered and reviewed by Yolo County through physical and electronic submissions to their office in Woodland, with no formal contract award structure or financial terms outlined in the materials provided.
