City of Pleasanton—Stoneridge Mall Residential Project <br />Section 15183 Checklist/15164 Addendum CEQA Checklist <br /> <br /> <br />FirstCarbon Solutions 181 <br />Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480017/Consistency Checklist/21480017 Stoneridge Mall Residential Project Checklist <br />Addendum_Updated.docx <br />Analysis of Proposed Project <br />The number of units proposed by the project is consistent with what was envisioned in the Prior EIR. <br />Therefore, the amount of waste generated by the proposed project would not exceed what was <br />analyzed in the Prior EIR. Furthermore, solid waste from the proposed project would be disposed of <br />at the Vasco Road Landfill by PGS. <br />As of 2018, the Vasco Road Landfill reported remaining capacity for about 6 million cubic yards (5.5 <br />million tons) of waste. The estimated closure year for the Vasco Road Landfill is 2035. Vasco Road <br />Landfill’s permitted capacity per its Solid Waste Facility Permit is 32.97 million cubic yards.115 The <br />Alameda County Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan (CIWMP) indicated that the City <br />had a per capita waste disposal rate of 7.2 pounds per capita per day in 2018. Based on the CIWMP <br />per capita waste disposal rate, development consistent with the Housing Element Update could <br />generate a maximum of approximately 6,969.6 pounds per day, equivalent to approximately <br />2,543,904 pounds per year or approximately 1,272 tons per year. Given a remaining capacity of 5.5 <br />million tons at the Vasco Road Landfill through 2035, the solid waste generated by the proposed <br />project would represent less than .01 percent of the remaining landfill capacity. <br />The project would implement a Waste Diversion Plan consistent with General Plan Program 26.18, <br />which would include on-site disposal and recycling (per Municipal Code Chapter 9.20), composting <br />(expanded per Municipal Code Chapter 9.23 Organics Reduction and Recycling), and recycling <br />facilities, as well as construction debris and disposal recycling. This plan would be reviewed and <br />approved by the City as part of the land entitlement process. Therefore, the proposed project would <br />not introduce any new impacts related to landfill capacity not previously disclosed by the Prior EIR. <br />Impacts would continue to be less than significant, and no mitigation is necessary. <br />Therefore, there are no landfill capacity effects that are peculiar to the proposed project or the <br />parcels on which the proposed project would be located. Impacts would be less than significant and <br />the proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not <br />previously identified in the Prior EIR. <br />e) Solid Waste Statutes and Regulations <br />Prior EIR Conclusions <br />The Prior EIR concluded that the City achieved waste diversion rate of 49.74 percent in 2005. As <br />discussed above, the City is expected to increase its waste diversion rates up to 75 percent by 2025 <br />as part of Alameda County’s goals for waste reduction. This has been codified into Policy 26 of the <br />Public Services and Community Programs Element of the proposed project. Program 26.18 under <br />Policy 26 states that residential projects with more than three units implement a Project Waste <br />Diversion Plan, which should include on-site disposal, composting and recycling facilities, and a plan <br />for construction debris disposal and recycling, to be reviewed and approved by the City as a part of <br />the land entitlement process. Therefore, the Prior EIR concluded that buildout of the Housing <br /> <br />115 Alameda County Waste Management Authority (WMA). 2020. Alameda County Integrated Waste Management Plan (CIWMP). April.
