Proposal to Prepare an EIR and Provide Planning Consulting Services for the First and Fourth Street Corridors Mixed -Use Overlay Zone Wastewater Collection and Treatment The EIR will analyze the existing treatment plan service areas. The EIR will describe the existing and planned capacity of the regional wastewater treatment plants, and the location of existing and planned sewage collection system. The average wastewater flow from proposed new uses will be estimated using factors provided by the services providers and/or City, and compared to existing and planned treatment capacity. The EIR will describe the phasing of the City's wastewater treatment plant expansions and will evaluate the ability of the plant(s) to serve the project and indicate any potential constraints posed by the project, particularly with respect to project phasing. Solid Waste The Orange County Integrated Waste Management Department (IWMD) owns and operates three public landfills in Orange County, California that accept municipal solid waste. These landfills include the Frank R. Bowerman Landfill in Irvine (commercial landfill only; no public dumping); the Olinda Alpha Landfill in Brea (commercial & public dumping); and the Prima Deshecha Landfill in San Juan Capistrano (commercial & public dumping). All three landfills are Class III (only non -hazardous municipal waste). The Santiago Canyon Landfill in Orange is in the process of closing and is not accepting any further municipal waste. The EIR will characterize existing and future landfill capacity at these landfills and any regulations associated with State -mandated waste reduction requirements. The amount of solid waste that could be generated at maximum build -out of the project site pursuant to the MU zone will be quantified based on factors developed in consultation with the City and landfill operators. Projected solid waste will be compared to existing and future landfill capacity to determine whether the changes in land use would substantially shorten the life of the landfill or necessitate expansion of the landfill. Electricity and Natural Gas EIP will contact Southern California Edison and the Gas Company for information concerning existing and planned energy infrastructure and sources that could serve the project site. This information will be summarized in the DER. Based on factors provided by Southern California Edison and the Gas Company, the EIR will quantify estimated energy use for the project site. This demand will be discussed with the service providers to determine whether there is ample supply. The EIR will briefly and qualitatively discuss the likely sources of supply and the potential impacts of such energy sources. Effects Not Found to Be Significant This section of the EIR will briefly describe those environmental issues "scoped out" of the IS/NOP and, therefore, not addressed in the EIR. Brief discussions will address each issue and explain whythe project would not have significant impacts associated with these issues. In some cases, standard City conditions will be identified as mitigation measures to ensure their inclusion in the mitigation monitoring program (MMP). Subtask 3c: Prepare Other CEQA Sections Summary The Summary section of the EIR will be in tabular format, and will briefly describe the impacts, level of significance of impacts, recommended mitigation measures, and level of significance after the recommended mitigation measures have been incorporated.
