Table 9 breaks down energy use and emissions from <br />water and irrigation by type. Electricity used for pumping water accounted for the significant majority of <br />emissions from the water/irrigation sector. Overall the categories of energy, across all sectors of <br />municipal operation, water and irrigation generated about 19.6 % of emissions (Figure 5). <br />TahIP Q - ~!)/)S W~rior nnr/ /rrianJinn H~~niccinnc nni/ F.nvrw /Lcv <br /> Electricity Energy <br /> COze Consumption Equivalent <br />Water/Irri ation T e (metric tons (kW>~ (MMBtu) _ Cost $ __ <br />Waterpumps 986 d,~lll,l77 15,055 $504,116 <br />Irrigation /Sprinkler 7 I 319, 187 l ,089 $57,772 <br />S stems <br />TOTAL 1,057 4,730,364 16,144 $561888 <br />Solid Waste <br />Solid waste generated by City-owned facilities and infrastructure produced an estimated 0.7% (Figure 5) <br />of the total emissions from government operations. As in the community analysis, these emissions are an <br />estimate of future methane generation over the full, multi-year decomposition period of the waste <br />generated in the year 2005. <br />Pleasanton was unable to obtain estimates for the tonnage of garbage produced by government operations <br />in 2005 from Pleasanton Garbage, the hauler of waste in the City. Since the scale of government <br />operations has remained largely unchanged since 2005, the City chose to use 2007 waste disposal <br />estimates as a proxy for 2005 waste disposal for the purposes of this inventory. In 2007, the City of <br />Pleasanton sent approximately 196 tons of solid waste to landfill, resulting in a total of 35 metric tons of <br />COZe. <br />In the absence of a centralized disposal record like the CIWMB Disposal Reporting System for <br />government operations, waste generation tonnages from government operations were estimated by City of <br />Pleasanton staff in concert with Pleasanton Garbage Service. Waste characterization for government <br />generated waste was estimated using CIWMB's statewide waste characterization study.21 Additionally, <br />the final emissions number generated by the CACP software used the 60% methane recovery factor <br />discussed above. <br />Z' CIWMB Waste Characterization Study-Public Administration Group available at <br />http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/WasteChar/BizGrpCp.asps. <br />2005 Q'eenhalseC3asErrissiaislrnentory, Cjtyof Pleasanton 15 <br />
