<br /> c) Provide permanent conservation easements or other interests in real property,with culturally appropriate
<br /> management criteria for the purposes of preserving or utilizing the resources or places;and protecting the
<br /> resource.
<br /> d) If tribal cultural resources are found,then the lead agency should consider tribal construction monitoring.
<br /> Utilities and Serv@ce Systems
<br /> 5MM USSW-1: SCAG shall continue to provide support for coordinating with waste management agencies,and appropriate Ongoing over the SLAG
<br /> local and regional jurisdictions,and sharing information to facilitate and encourage diversion of solid waste life of the plan
<br /> where applicable,appropriate,and feasible.
<br /> PMM UTILA: In accordance with provisions of sections 15091(a)(2)and 15126.4(a)(1)(B)ofthe CEOA Guidelines,a Lead Ongoing over the Lead Agency
<br /> Agency for a project can and should consider mitigation measures to reduce substantial adverse effects on life of the plan
<br /> utilities and service systems,particularty for construction of wastewater facrl-dies,as applicable and feasible.
<br /> Such measures may incude the following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency.
<br /> • During the design and CEQA review of individual future projects.,implementing agencies and projects
<br /> sponsors shall determine whether sufficient wastewater capacity exists for the proposed projects.The
<br /> proposed development can and should be served by its existing or planned treatment capacity.If adequate
<br /> capacity does not exist,project sponsors shall coordinate with the relevant service providerto ensure that
<br /> adequate public services and utilities could accommodate the increased demand,and if not,infrastructure
<br /> improvements for the appropriate public service or utility shall be identified in each project's CEQA
<br /> documentation.The relevant public service provider or utility shall be responsible for undertaking project-
<br /> level review as necessary to provide CEQA clearance for new facilities.
<br /> PMM UTIL-2: In accordance with provisions of sections 15091(a)(2)and 15126.4(a)(1)(B)ofthe CEQA Guidelines,a lead Ongoing overthe Lead Agency
<br /> agency for a project can and should consider mitigation measures to ensure sufficient water supplies,as Irfe of the plan
<br /> applicable and feasible.Such measures may include the following or other comparable measures identified by
<br /> the lead agency:
<br /> a) Reduce exterior consumptive uses of water in public areas,and promote reductions in private homes and
<br /> businesses,by shifting to drought-tolerant native landscape plantings,using weather-based irrigation
<br /> systems,educating other public agencies about water use,and installing related water pricing incentives.
<br /> b) Promote the availability of drought-resistant landscaping options and provide information on how these
<br /> can be obtained.Use of reclaimed water especially in median landscaping and hillside landscaping can and
<br /> should be implemented where feasible.
<br /> c) Implement water conservation best practices such as tow-flow toilets,water-efficient clothes washers,
<br /> water system audits,and leak detection and repair.
<br /> d) For projects located in an area with existing reclaimed waterconveyance infrastructure and excess
<br /> reclaimed water capacity,use reclaimed water foe non-potable uses,especially landscape irrigation.For
<br /> projects fn a location planned for future reclaimed water service,projects should install dual plumbing
<br /> systems in anticipation of future use.Large developments could treat wastewater onsrte to tertiary
<br /> standards and use R for non-potable uses onsde.
<br /> PMM UTIL-3: n accordance with provisions of sections 15091(a)(2)and 15126A(a)(1)(B)ofthe CEQA Guidelines,a lead Ongoing overthe Lead Agency
<br /> agency fora project can and should consider mitigation measures to reduce the generation of solid waste,as life of the plan
<br /> applicable and feasible.Such measures may include the following or other comparable measures identified by
<br /> the lead agency:
<br /> Integrate green building measures consistent with CALGreen(California Building Code Title 24)into project
<br /> design including,but not limited to the following:
<br /> a) Reuse and minimize construction and demolition CMD)debris anddiversion of C&D waste from landfills
<br /> to recycling faciltie&
<br /> b) Include a waste management plan that promotes maximum C&D diversion.
<br /> c) Source reduction through(1)use of materials that are more durable and easierto repair and maintain,(2)
<br /> design to generate less scrap material through dimensional planning,(3)increased recycled content,(4)
<br /> use of reclaimed materials,and(5)use of structural materials in a dual role as finish material(e.g..stained
<br /> concrete flooring,unfinished ceilings,etc.).
<br /> d) Reuse existing structure and shell in renovation projects.
<br /> e) Develop indoor recycling program and space,.
<br /> f) Discourage the siting of new landfills unless all other waste reduction and prevention actions have been
<br /> fully explored,If landfill siding or expansion is necessary,site landfills with an adequate landfill-owned,
<br /> undeveloped land buffer to minimize the potential adverse impacts ofthe landfill in neighboring
<br /> communities,
<br /> g) ❑iscourage exporting of locally generated waste outside of the SCAG region during the construction a.nd
<br /> implementation of a project Encourage disposal within the county where the waste originates as much as
<br /> possible.Promote green technologies for Bong-distance transport ofwaste(e.g.,clean engines and clean
<br /> locomotives or electric rail for waste-by-rail disposal systems)and where appropriate and feasible.
<br /> h) Encourage waste reduction goals and practices and look for opportunities for voluntary actions to exceed
<br /> the Sit percent state waste diversion target.
<br /> 0 Encourage the development of local markets for waste prevention,reduction,and recycling practices by
<br /> supporting recycled content and green procurement policies,as well as other waste prevention,reduction,
<br /> and recycling practices.
<br /> j) Develop ordinances that promote waste prevention and recycling activities such as:requiring waste
<br /> prevention and recycling efforts at all large events and venues.;implementing recycled content
<br /> procurement programs;and developing additional opportunities to divert food waste away from landfills
<br /> and toward food franks and composting facilities.
<br /> k) Develop and site composting,recycling,and conversion technology facilities that have minimum
<br /> environmental and health impacts.
<br /> I] Integrate reuse and recycling into residential industrial,institutional,and commercial projects.
<br /> m) Provide education and publicity about reducing waste and available recycling services.
