Home Browse Search

Explanation of the Rationale: Construction of the Project would generate a total of approximately 17,846 tons over the course of a 20-year period, a large percentage of which would occur during phase one, which includes demolition of the existing uses at the Project site. All future construction activities would be required to demonstrate compliance with Assembly Bill (AB) 939, which requires that at least 50 percent of waste produced is recycled, reduced, or composted. In addition, the project would be constructed in accordance with CALGreen, which requires recycling a minimum of 65 percent of the nonhazardous construction and demolition debris, and submittal of a construction waste management plan. Compliance with these regulations, as well as RR U-7 requiring implementation of a construction waste management plan, would ensure the project's construction-related solid waste impacts would be less than significant. Operation of the Project would generate a total of approximately 35,700 pounds per day, or 17.85 tons per day (tpd). The maximum permitted capacity for the Frank Bowerman Sanitary Landfill and the Olinda Alpha Landfill are 11,500 tpd and 8,000 tpd, respectively. Both landfills have an average daily disposal rate of approximately 7,000 tpd, indicating that they would have sufficient capacity to accommodate the Project's 17.85 tpd of solid waste (i.e., less than 1 percent of the residual disposal capacity of the Frank Bowerman Sanitary Landfill). The Project would also be required to comply with RR U-8, which states that all development pursuant to the GPU would be required to store and collect recyclable materials and green waste in accordance with AB 341 and AB 1826. Additionally, the Project would implement GPU policies to incorporate recycling and organics collection activities to align with state waste reduction goals.Therefore,the Project would not generate solid waste in excess of state or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure. Impacts would be less than significant. (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.15-31 —4.15-33.) Threshold U-5: The Project would comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste. Findings: The City finds that the Project would result in less-than-significant impacts to utilities and service systems related to compliance with solid waste federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations. Additionally, the City finds that the Project will implement regulatory requirements RR U-7 through RR U-8 (listed above). (Draft Supplemental EIR, p. 4.15-34.) Explanation of the Rationale: Construction of the Project would be required to comply with the requirements of AB 939, which requires that at least 50 percent of waste produced is recycled, reduced, or composted, and CALGreen, which requires recycling a minimum of 65 percent of the nonhazardous construction and demolition debris and submittal of a construction waste management plan. Operation of the Project would also be required to comply with AB 939; AB 341,which requires diversion of a minimum of 75 percent of operational solid waste; and Chapter 16 Article II of the City's Municipal Code, which incorporates the waste requirements of SB 1383 for single-family, multi-family, and commercial uses. Additionally, the Project would implement waste disposal services to allow for trash, recycling, and food waste for all residential and commercial uses. Therefore, the Project would comply with applicable state and local regulations related to solid waste. Impacts would be less than significant. (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.15-31 —4.15-33.)
