City of Pleasanton–Spotorno Ranch Reduced Development Project Initial Study/Consistency Checklist Environmental Checklist FirstCarbon Solutions 167 https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480021/Consistency Checklist/21480021 Spotorno Ranch Consistency Checklist ScreenCheck.docx Long-term Operational Impacts Based on solid waste residential generation rates of 12.23 pounds per single-family home per day published by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), the estimated waste generation is 269.06 pounds per day for the primary single-family houses. Using the 66 percent proportion applied earlier, the ADUs could generate up to 195.40 pounds per day, for a project total of 491.46 pounds per day.59 As previously addressed, the Vasco Landfill is permitted to receive 2,518 tons of waste per day. As such, the 491.46 pounds of solid waste per day that the project would generate equates to less than 0.01 permitted daily allowance. Thus, the proposed project’s solid waste generation would represent only a nominal increase in the total daily amounts of solid waste received at the landfill. Therefore, long-term operational impacts associated with permitted landfill capacity would be less than significant so there would be no additional impact beyond that identified in the 1998 HVSP FEIR. e) Solid Waste Regulations Consistency Would the project: Comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste? This question was not included in the 1998 HVSP FEIR. No determination was made in the 1998 HVSP FEIR regarding the level of significance related to solid waste regulations consistency. A significant impact would occur if the proposed project would conflict with federal, State, or local statutes and regulations related to solid waste. The proposed project would be required to reduce the volume of solid waste through recycling and reuse of materials in order to comply with Policy 26 of the City’s General Plan 2025, which is to minimize the City’s generation of solid waste materials by supporting the Alameda County Integrated Waste Management Plan and Source Reduction and Recycling Plan and by developing City recycling programs using the California Diversion rate methodology for measurement,60 as well as the Pleasanton Municipal Code Section 9.21, which pertains to construction and demolition debris diversion requirements.61 Construction activities on the project site must adhere to the City’s Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Requirements, which requires that a minimum of 50 percent of construction and demolition debris be diverted from landfills.62 Additionally, the City has adopted a Source Reduction and Recycling Element (Measure D) to establish higher waste diversion goals set by the State. The project would be required to comply with the provisions of these elements. Compliance with the above is required by the City of all new development projects. Therefore, impacts associated with solid waste statutes and regulations would be less than significant. 59 California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle).
