SUMMARY:John Smith Road Landfill Expansion - Environmental Impact Report Virtual Public Scoping Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The San Benito County Resource Management Agency will host two virtual meetings to present the proposed John Smith Road Landfill Expansion project and seek input from the community and interested public agencies.\nEnvironmental Impact Report Public Scoping Meetings\nMarch 10\, 2021 – 2:00 p.m.\nMarch 11\, 2021 – 6:00 p.m.\nPROJECT LOCATION\nThe proposed project site is located at the John Smith Road Landfill (JSRL)\, 2650 John Smith Road\, approximately 2 miles directly east of the City of Hollister.\nPROJECT DESCRIPTION\nWaste Connections\, through the project applicant Waste Solutions of San Benito\, LLC\, is proposing an expansion of the landfill. The proposed project includes a 388.05-acre expansion of the existing 95.16-acre JSRL. This expansion would increase the landfill’s disposal capacity and operating life span\, increase the maximum permitted height of the final landfill\, and increase the maximum permitted daily tonnage accepted at the JRSL from the current 1\,000 tons per day (tpd) to 2\,300 tpd.\nTo accommodate these changes\, several operational changes are also being proposed. These include expanding the landfill entrance area to accommodate additional daily vehicle arrivals and reduce vehicle queuing on John Smith Road\, expanding areas for recycling and the County’s Household Hazardous Waste program\, establishing an area for the future installation of a gas-to-energy facility\, and clean closing the current Class I area owned by the City of Hollister and converting it to a disposal area for Class III waste. Additionally\, the proposed project would potentially include the use of a portion of the San Benito County property located south of John Smith Road for habitat mitigation purposes.\nWHERE TO GET ADDITIONAL INFORMATION\nThe Notice of Preparation of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR)\, containing instructions for participating in the virtual meetings and additional information about the project and potential environmental impacts\, is available at the following website:\nhttps://www.cosb.us/home/showpublisheddocument?id=6574\nVIRTUAL MEETING DETAILS\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://zoom.us/j/98161618293…\nMeeting ID: 981 6161 8293\nPasscode: 457359\nOne tap mobile +16699006833\,\,98161618293# US (San Jose) +14086380968\,\,98161618293# US (San Jose)\nDial by your location +1 669 900 6833 +1 408 638 0968 +1 346 248 7799 +1 253 215 8782 +1 301 715 8592 +1 312 626 6799\nUS (San Jose)\nUS (San Jose)\nUS (Houston)\nUS (Tacoma)\nUS (Washington DC) US (Chicago)\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\nMeeting ID: 981 6161 8293\nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/abIWP0nelx\nWRITTEN COMMENTS\nWritten comments can be submitted to:\nSan Benito County Planning and Land Use Division\n2301 Technology Parkway\nHollister\, CA 95023-9174\nAttention: Stan Ketchum\nEmail: SKetchum@cosb.us\nComments to be considered in the preparation of the EIR must be received by March 23\, 2021.

SUMMARY:Webinar | The Ayurveda Solution to Type-2 Diabetes
DESCRIPTION:The Ayurveda Solution to Type-2 Diabetes \nPresented by Jackie Christensen\, MA-Ayur\, Ph.D.\, an internationally recognized author\, clinician\, and educator in natural health\, herbology\, and Ayurveda. \nFebruary 27th\, 2021 ~ 12:00-2:00pm PDT \nType 2 Diabetes (T2D) represents one of the most significant public health challenges in the 21st century and Ayurveda provides many solutions to the T2D riddle. Through Ayurveda we can understand the various factors that cause T2D. \nPersonalized medicine is a new concept for modern healthcare\, but it is well-established in Ayurveda. In this workshop we will explore how one’s natural constitution affects treatment options. \nDr. Jackie will review the foods used in Ayurveda for T2D to balance blood glucose\, optimize digestion\, and reduce the buildup of toxic internal waste. Through Ayurveda\, we can learn how to use food as medicine and reduce our dependency on chemically laden foods. In fact\, research shows that 80-90% of T2D cases can be prevented through diet and lifestyle. \nLearn how to upgrade your lifestyle with proven sleep habits\, workouts\, stress reduction and herbal support to beat T2D.
