City of Pleasanton—Stoneridge Mall Residential Project CEQA Checklist Section 15183 Checklist/15164 Addendum 180 FirstCarbon Solutions Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480017/Consistency Checklist/21480017 Stoneridge Mall Residential Project Checklist Addendum_Updated.docx Analysis of Proposed Project The proposed project would be developed as considered in the Housing Element. A Preliminary Sewer Loading Calculation was performed by Kimley-Horn and Associates in March 2022 (Appendix I), which found that the proposed project would result in an average residential sewer load of 115,200 gallons per day (gpd) and a peak residential load of 230,400 gpd.112 This would be approximately 2.7 percent of the City’s allocated 8.5 mgd of average dry-weather wastewater treatment capacity at peak proposed project wastewater generation, and 2.2 percent of the City’s 10.3 mgd future expected average dry-weather wastewater treatment capacity at peak proposed project wastewater generation. This level of wastewater generation is within the 603,137 gpd (675.6 acre-feet per year) anticipated by the Prior EIR, and therefore implementation of the proposed project would not result in new or more severe impacts related to wastewater treatment capacity beyond what was previously analyzed in the Prior EIR. In addition, the proposed project would be required to pay a Sewer Connection Fee to the City and DSRSD, as is required for all new residential units under Title 15, Sewerage, of the Pleasanton Municipal Code.113 These fees would be used by the City and the DSRSD to accommodate any increased demand in wastewater treatment beyond previously purchased wastewater treatment capacity.114 Impacts would continue to be less than significant, and no mitigation is necessary, consistent with the Prior EIR. There are no proposed changes, new circumstances, or new information that would cause new or more severe impacts. Therefore, there are no wastewater effects that are peculiar to the proposed project or the parcels on which the proposed project would be located. Impacts would be less than significant and the proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not previously identified in the Prior EIR. d) Landfill Capacity Prior EIR Conclusions The Prior EIR concluded that the City generated 240,900 tons of garbage while achieving a diversion rate 49.74 percent through the Pleasanton Garbage Service (PGS). As part of Alameda County’s goals for waste reduction, the City is expected to divert more of its waste in the following years. Buildout under the Housing Element, which would be served by the City’s existing contract with PGS, was calculated by the Prior EIR to generate approximately 43,200 pounds of solid waste, or 21.6 tons of waste in a day. In addition, the City would regulate diversion policies such as Policy 26 from the Public Services and Community Programs Element of the General Plan, which states that the City minimize solid waste materials and increase its diversion rate. As part of this policy, Program 26.18 states that residential projects with more than three units implement a Project Waste Diversion Plan, which should include on-site disposal, composting and recycling facilities, and a plan for construction debris disposal and recycling. This plan would be reviewed and approved by the City as a part of the land entitlement process. With this information, the Prior EIR concluded that the buildout of the Housing Element would result in less than significant solid waste impacts. 112 Kimley-Horn and Associates. 2022.
