2024. The Bowerman Landfill is permitted to accept per day and is anticipated to close in year 2024. 8,500 tons The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939) mandates all cities and counties in California to divert fifty percent of solid waste generated from landfill disposal. As part of the General Plan, the City of Santa Ana has prepared a Source Reduction and Recycling Element, which describe how the City complies with the mandates of AB 939. In order to comply with the requirements of AB 939, the City has implemented several waste reduction programs including green waste programs, source reduction programs, and recycling programs. According to the California Integrated Waste Management Board, a standard generation rate for institutional uses would be .0013 tons per year per square foot. The proposed project would have a solid waste disposal demand of .115 tons per day. The increase in solid waste would be considered minor in comparison to the 2,700 tons of solid waste taken to the transfer station daily. Additionally, the proposed project would be required to comply with the City's recycling program for residential uses to reduce the demand for solid waste disposal. Compliance with the City's recycling program would reduce long-term solid waste disposal service impacts to a level considered less than significant. XVII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the envirorunent, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. Less Than Significant Impact Implementation of the proposed project would not substantially reduce the habitat of fish or wildlife species, in that no fish or wildlife populations are known to exist on the project site. Additionally, mitigation measures have been identified to reduce potential impacts to unknown cultural resources to a level considered less than significant. Does the project have impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively considerable? 31 .A.
