The Community Plan envisions up to 4,000 dwelling units, 10 million square feet of non-residential uses, 20,000 new jobs, and a 600-student elementary school over a planning horizon of more than 20 years. FCS carefully evaluated ways to avoid or reduce potential impacts through thoughtful planning of this highly constrained site, located between the Union Pacific railroad, BART corridor, and Interstate 880.

FCS prepared an IS/MND for proposed renovations at the El Dorado Materials Recovery Facility located west of the City of Placerville in unincorporated El Dorado County.

FCS prepared an expedited IS/MND for proposed improvements to the Recology Blossom Valley Organics–North operating facility in the unincorporated community of Vernalis in San Joaquin County. The proposed improvements include wastewater infrastructure improvements, a groundwater well, litter and dust fence expansion, additional incoming feedstock processing line, equipment wash area, aerated static pile system, second vacuum truck, and employee break room expansion.

FCS proactively worked with the Town of Windsor to review their existing CEQA Checklist analyzing the five potential solid waste franchise proposals. The analysis included three new potential facility locations proposed by Greenwaste as part of their solid waste removal contract. All three sites were addressed under each of the CEQA Appendix G Checklist questions and a significance finding for potential impacts were made.
