arr~AfA Re.:Ol\~~s to E nvi ron menta'~~'fi"l,kl ist . For C~9AC.liance The City of Santa Ana Water Department would provide domestic water service for the proposed project. Implementation of the proposed project would not increase water demand within the project area over the current condition. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and water demands are accounted for in the City's Urban Water Management Plan. F. Is the project served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal nee~s? 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. 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. The proposed project would not significantly increase 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 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. No Impact Implementation of the proposed project would not substantially reduce the habitat of fish or wildlife species, in that no fish, wildlife populations or cultural resources are known to exist on the project site. Additionally, it is unlikely that unknown cultural resources would be discovered on the project site as it has previously been developed. B. Does the project have impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively considerable? No Impact Implementation of the proposed project would not result in cumulative impacts to the environment. The proposed project would comply with the applicable requirements of the Uniform Building Code, conditions of approval and mitigation measures, which provide specific requirements that would avoid any significant cumulative impacts within the project area. 31A~5 17
