i~ u i~ Environmental Checklist For CEQA Compliance F. Less Than Significant Impact. The project would generate solid waste as a result of the proposed residences. A preliminary review of landfills currently serving the project area shows significant remaining capacity. Santa Ana disposed of a total of 419,794 tons in the year 2004, at a rate of 2 pounds/resident/day and 12.1 pounds/employee/day (CIWMB 1995). A study of the area landfills and their remaining capacity is presented in the following table. Table 3-4. Remaining Capacity of Existing Landfills Serving the Project Area Remaining Municipal Waste Closure Capacity (million Contributed by Santa Ana Landfill Year cubic yards) in Year 2000 (tons) Arvin 2008 2.2 23.0 Bradley West and West 2007 4.7 4.0 Expansion Colton 2006 0.6 3.0 Frank R.

The existing land use supports 70 employees and therefore generates, on average, 847 pounds of solid municipal waste a day (Lopez pers. comm.). The average household size in. Santa Ana is 4.55 (Census 2000). Assuming each person in a residential unit ' produces 2 pounds of municipal solid waste a day, one single family residential unit within the proposed project would produce 9.1 pounds of solid municipal waste per day; the proposed project as a whole would produce, on average, 345.8 pounds of solid municipal waste per day. Therefore, the proposed project is likely to create less municipal solid waste than the existing land use. Construction waste generated by the proposed project would result in a temporary increase in the total construction and demolition waste. As part of demolition of the existing warehouse, some of the concrete materials would be crushed and reused on site ' for the proposed project. Sufficient capacity remains to accommodate waste generated by the project. Less than significant impacts would occur. G. No Impact. The solid waste created by the demolition of the structures would be removed per local, state, and federal guidelines. No significant impact is anticipated.
