Responses to Environmental Checklist For CEQA Compliance in Huntington Beach. As such, OCSD regulates wastewater treatment for the City of Santa Ana. The proposed project would be required to provide sewer connection fees with the city and the OCSD. The proposed project will not cause any violation of those standards set forth by the OCSD. The City of Santa Ana and OCSD would provide wastewater service to the proposed project. The project area is currently improved with wastewater sewer facilities. Implementation of the project would not increase wastewater demands in the project area over the last approved use on the site. The wastewater demands of the project would be accounted for in the City's Urban Water Management Plan. Additionally, implementation of the project would not increase the amount of surface water runoff currently generated from the project site. The project would not require the construction of new drainage facilities. 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 last approved use on the site. Because this site had a previous commercial use developed, the water demands for a commercial use 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 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. 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. Less-Than-Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. The proposed project site is currently undeveloped, however, the site has been heavily disturbed in the past with a previous development and its subsequent demolition and re-compacting of the soil. 75A-56
