City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project 15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist 233 Would the project: d) Generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals and e) Comply with federal, State, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste. Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated that the solid waste generated by development consistent with the Housing Element Update would represent less than .05 percent of the Vasco Road Landfill’s remaining capacity. Compliance with General Plan policies and programs, as well as CAP 2.0 strategies, would reduce the generation of solid waste. Additionally, construction and demolition debris from new development would be required to be recycled (Municipal Code Chapter 9.21) and organics waste reduced or recycled (Municipal Code Chapter 9.23). Statewide ordinances, including AB 341, AB 939, and SB 1016 require waste reduction, recycling, and diversion and would also be applicable to future development. Construction waste would be temporary and would be required to be diverted from landfills in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 9.21, and a Waste Management Plan must include waste diversion data for a construction project. The Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that there is sufficient permitted capacity at the Vasco Road Landfill to accommodate the solid waste generated by development consistent with the Housing Element Update. Furthermore, as previously discussed, all future development consistent with the Housing Element Update would be required to abide by and be consistent with federal, State, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste, including the California Health and Safety Code, California Code of Regulations, California Public Resources Code, General Plan, and Municipal Code. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion As described in Section XIV, Population and Housing, the proposed project would construct fewer units than what was assumed in the Housing Element Update FEIR. Therefore, the proposed project would create less waste than what was assumed in the Housing Element Update FEIR, and there would be adequate landfill capacity to accommodate the proposed project.
