City of Santa Ana Environmental Checklist proposed project site. The OCSD treats about 207 million gallons on a daily basis at the Fountain Valley and Huntington Beach Wastewater Treatment Plants, combined (OCSD 2010). As described under Response (b), wastewater from the project site would be treated at the wastewater treatment plant in Fountain Valley. The facility currently treats an average of 97 mgd of wastewater and is upgrading to a total design capacity of 180 mgd (OCSD 2010). As described above, operations at the proposed meditation center are expected to generate approximately 433 gpd of wastewater, which is approximately 155 gpd more than the existing conditions. This equates to a total of approximately 0.49 afy of wastewater which is approximately 0.18 afy more than the existing conditions. Compared to the existing 97 mgd of wastewater treated daily at the Fountain Valley wastewater treatment facility, the proposed project would represent an increase of less than 0.01% over existing conditions. In comparison to the upgraded plant design capacity of 180 mgd, the proposed project increase would represent an increase of 0.000086%. Because the proposed project wastewater flows would not be substantial in comparison to the treatment plant design capacity, the proposed project would result in less-than-significant impacts related to wastewater treatment plant capacity. (. Be served by a landfill with su/jlcient permitted capacity to accommodate the projects solid waste disposal needs? Less-than-Significant Impact. The proposed project site would be served by three landfills operated by the Orange County Integrated Waste Management Department (OCIWMD), including the Frank R. Bowerman Landfill in Irvine, the Olinda Alpha Landfill in Brea, and the Prima Deshecha Landfill in San Juan Capistrano. Table 3-25 provides an overview of each landfill with its current permitted capacity and remaining capacity. As shown, all three landfills have at least half of their maximum permitted capacity remaining. Table 3-25. Existing Landfill Conditions Landfill Frank R.

The proposed project could contribute solid waste to any of the three available landfills in Orange County; however, the majority of waste from Santa Ana, about 75%, is sent to the Bowerman Landfill. As described in the Project Description, Chapter 2, the proposed project would result in the demolition of the existing onsite structures that are currently used for religious purposes and would result in the redevelopment of the site with one large building to be used for similar religious purposes. The proposed project would add additional capacity to the site and provide for future onsite meditation center activities.
