site. After completion of Project construction, the site would have a 4 percent reduction in impermeable surfaces to 35.37 acres or 86 percent of the site. The runoff within the Project site would be collected by roof drains, surface flow designed pavement, curbs, and area drains and conveyed to vegetated biotreatment system for treatment. Although the proposed Project would result in a reduction of stormwater runoff, the Project includes offsite storm drain improvements pursuant to the City's Storm Drain Master Plan that involve replacing 2,230 lineal feet of the 54/60- inch storm drain with a 72-inch lateral in Sunflower Avenue and replacing a 42-inch lateral in Plaza drive with a 60-inch lateral. This is being done to implement City's needed drainage Master Plan improvements within the rights -of -way that would be reconstructed as part of the proposed Project. The effects of the improvements are part of construction of the Project as a whole and are included in the evaluation throughout the Draft Supplemental EIR. Therefore, impacts related to drainage facilities would be less than significant. This finding is consistent with the GPU FEIR discussion related to development projects increasing onsite permeability and providing onsite detention systems that would be evaluated in detailed hydrology studies to ensure that existing peak flows would not be exceeded, thereby eliminating any potential increase in runoff and that impacts to the storm drain system would be less than significant (Draft Supplemental EIR at p. 5.15-20). Impact Finding: The Project would not generate solid waste in excess of state or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals (Draft Supplemental EIR at p. 5.15-23). Facts in Support of Findings: r^nc+ri ie-fir%n The Project is estimated to generate approximately 1,009 tons of waste during demolition and additional waste during construction, which would occur over a 10-year period. However, Section 5.408.1 of the 2016 California Green Building Standards Code requires demolition and construction activities to recycle or reuse a minimum of 65 percent of the nonhazardous construction and demolition waste. Thus, the demolition and construction solid waste that would be disposed of at the landfill would be approximately 35 percent of the waste generated. Therefore, demolition activities, which would generate the most solid waste would generate approximately 353 tons of solid waste. In March 2023, the maximum tonnage received was 8,909.41 tons. Thus, the facility has additional capacity of 8,556.41 tons per day (CalRecycle 2023) and would be able to accommodate the construction solid waste from the proposed Project. Therefore, impacts related to landfill facilities from construction activities would be less than significant (Draft Supplemental EIR at p. 5.15-23). Operation Operation of the Project at buildout would generate approximately 25,913 tons of solid waste per year, at least 75 percent of which is required by California law to be recycled, which would reduce the volume of landfilled solid waste to approximately 7,734.8 tons per year, or 148.34 tons per week, as shown on Draft Supplemental EIR Table 5.15-9.
