The project will generate additional solid waste. A preliminary review of landfills currently serving the project area shows significant remaining capacity. www.ciwmb.ca.oov. Santa Ana disposed of a total of 379,259 tons in the year 2000, at a rate of 2 poundsiresidentiday and 10.9 pounds/employee/day. A study of the area landfills and their remaining capacity is presented in the following table.
