to the provision of adequate water service would be associated with the proposed project. F. Is the project served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs? G. Comply with federal, state and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? Less Than Significant Impact The City of Santa Ana would provide solid waste collection services to the project site. Solid waste is transported to the Environmental Service transfer station in Irvine, and then taken to the Bowerman Landfill. The Bowerman Landfill is permitted to accept 8,500 tons per day and is anticipated to close in year 2024. As part of the General Plan, the City of Santa Ana has prepared a Source Reduction and Recycling Element to divert fifty percent of the City's solid waste generated from landfill disposal. 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, the proposed project would generate an additional 14 pounds per day of solid waste. The increases in solid waste would be considered minor in comparison to the 8,500 tons of solid waste taken to the Bowerman Landfill daily. Additionally, the proposed project would be required to comply with the Cities waste reduction programs. XVII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE A. Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, 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.
