City of Santa Ana Environmental Checklist visitors and a large increase in the number of visitors that would attend the three annual festivities. Currently, four people reside on the project site (the Master and his three assistants) and would continue to reside on the project site once the meditation center is operational. To determine solid waste generation, this analysis uses the public/institutional waste generation factor of 0.007 lb/sq ft/day (CalRecycle 2009). Since the proposed project would develop approximately 53,168 square feet, including parking and landscaped areas, the proposed project would result in the generation of approximately 372 pounds of solid waste per day. This would be less than 0.1% of the permitted daily capacities of the three landfills listed above, which range from 4,000 to 11,500 tons per day. Construction waste generated by the proposed project would result in a temporary increase in the total construction and demolition waste the landfills receive during the 19 month construction period. The Frank R. Bowerman Landfill, Olinda Alpha Landfill, and Prima Deshecha Landfill would be able to accommodate the increase in solid waste generated by the proposed project during construction and operation. As a result, the proposed project's impacts related to solid waste disposal and landfill capacity is less than significant. g. Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? Less-than-Signiflcant Impact. The proposed project is a Buddhist meditation center. Solid waste generated by the proposed project would consist primarily of the standard organic and inorganic waste normally associated with places of worship. Substantial hazardous wastes are not anticipated. The project would provide facilities for solid waste recycling. As noted above, the site is adequately served by local landfills. The project would comply with all applicable federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste handling, transport, and disposal during both construction and long-term operation. Additionally, per the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939), the City has implemented a recycling program to divert at least 50% of all solid waste by January 1, 2000. As such, the proposed project would be required to comply with a Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) program, which was submitted and approved by CalRecycle to divert solid waste. Compliance with the SRRE program would ensure that the proposed project would remain in compliance with AB 939 and impacts would be less than significant.
