City of Santa Ana -Park View at Town and Country Manor <br />Draft EIR Utilities and Service <br />transformation) as the desired approach to solid waste management. Since that time, landfill capacity <br />has increased. AB 939 has achieved significant progress in waste diversion, program <br />implementation, solid waste planning, and protection of public health and safety and the environment <br />from the operation of landfills and solid waste facilities. AB 939 not only mandated local <br />jurisdictions to meet numerical diversion goals of 25 percent by 1995 and 50 percent by 2000, but <br />also established an integrated framework for program implementation, solid waste planning, and solid <br />waste facility and landfill compliance (California Integrated Waste Management Board 2008). <br />4.7.3 - Thresholds of Significance <br />According to the CEQA Guidelines' Appendix G Environmental Checklist, to determine whether <br />impacts to utilities and service systems are significant environmental effects, the following questions <br />are analyzed and evaluated. Would the project: <br />a.) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control <br />Board? <br />b.) Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or <br />expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant <br />environmental effects? <br />c.) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of <br />existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? <br />d.) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and <br />resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed? <br />e.) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the <br />project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the <br />provider's existing commitments? <br />f.) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid <br />waste disposal needs? <br />g.) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? <br />4.7.4 - Impact Analysis and Mitigation Measures <br />This section discusses potential utility and service system impacts associated with the development of <br />the project. Mitigation measures are provided where necessary. <br />Water or Wastewater Treatment Facilities and Capacity <br />Impact 4.7 -1 The project would not exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable <br />Regional Water Quality Control Board. <br />The project would result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider <br />which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the <br />project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments. <br />Michael Brandman Associates 4.7 -3 <br />H\Cl t(PN- Rnb327b32]003MMVB2]0030 Sec 7UNifie avd Service S,A.v doc <br />
