CITY OF SAN LEANDRO RE: Exhibit A -CONSISTENCY MEMORANDUM FOR THE SLTC MIXED-USE PROJECT (PLN16-0067) JULY 17, 2017 Page 28 EIR determined that the Wastewater Treatment Division would be able to meet wastewater demand for the General Plan buildout scenario. The TOD Strategy EIR found the impact would be less than significant; as such, no further evaluation is needed, and the project would be consistent with the TOD Strategy EIR. Solid Waste The project would comply with the California Green (CALGreen) Building Standards Code (Part 11 of Title 24, California Code of Regulations) and the San Leandro Construction and Demolition (C&D) ordinance regarding recycling and waste diversion. The CALGreen Building Standards Code requires the project to have a 65 percent waste diversion during construction. The C&D ordinance requires contractors to recycle all asphalt/concrete and 50 percent of all other C&D debris. Project construction debris would be hauled to the Davis Street Transfer Station in San Leandro. The transfer station processes and diverts over 7 million pounds of material per day. The project would incrementally add to processed material and would not exceed the transfer station’s capacity (Waste Management 2017). Alameda County Industries, Inc. (ACI), , would provide refuse and recycling collection services for the project site. Waste produced at the project site would be diverted to the Altamont Landfill. The TOD Strategy EIR determined that implementation of General Plan policies CSF-6.2 and OSC-7.3 (see Table 3) would reduce residential and commercial waste streams in the city to a less than significant level. The project would comply with waste diversion policies in the city. As such, the project would have impacts consistent with those in the TOD Strategy EIR, and no further evaluation is needed. Conclusion This memo describes how the city is complying with the provisions of and implementing the steps outlined in the TOD Strategy EIR and Municipal Code Chapters 18.04 and 18.06. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15168(c)(4), the City used a written checklist to determine whether the environmental effects of the project’s site-specific operations were evaluated in the TOD Strategy EIR. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15168(c)(2), the City evaluated whether further environmental review was required per the provisions of Section 15162(a). The City considered various technical studies prepared by environmental consultants hired by the City and the applicant (including an Air Quality/GHG Report, Geotechnical Investigation, and Traffic Impact Study). The proposed project would be consistent with the assumptions for the project site as presented in the City’s TOD Strategy and Zoning Code, and the project would not result in any new significant impacts or increase the severity of any significant impacts identified in the TOD Strategy EIR. Therefore, no further environmental analysis is required. 174
