2. SCOPE OF WORK • Discuss the ability of the existing wastewater system to accommodate project -related development. • Describe needed modification to the City's existing systems to serve the project. • Identify any impacts and attendant mitigation measures addressing the construction of on -site and off -site transmission facilities. Solid Waste Issues The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939) requires that by the year 2000, all cities and counties recycle, reuse, compost or otherwise divert from disposal 50 percent of waste generated. The City is a member of the Alameda County Waste Management Authority. The proposed project would generate substantial quantities of solid waste, potentially affecting the City's ability to comply with AB 939 requirements. Tasks • Describe the City's existing integrated waste management system (collection, transfer, recycling, composting, and disposal). Briefly describe the manner in which garbage collection and recycling services would be arranged for the project site. • In consultation with the local waste collection service provider, identify the project's effect on the City's ability to comply with AB 939 waste diversion requirements, and the project's effect on solid waste disposal capacity. Identify mitigation measures to off -set such effects, if necessary. 8. Air Quality Issues The Draft EIR on the Lake Chabot Terrace project (1990) did not identify any significant air quality impacts but identified measures to reduce adverse construction -phase impacts. Since publication of that document, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) has released an update to its CEQA Guidelines (April 1996) which contain more stringent significance criteria for assessing operational -phase impacts than was used for the previous EIR and contains updated emissions factors and assessment procedures. Despite the more stringent significance criteria, the current proposal of 56 single-family residences would be far less than the number of residences (375) that would likely result in emissions greater than the criteria. Therefore, the analysis will focus on updating the setting discussion, updating the construction -phase impact analysis to reflect current BAAQMD recommendations concerning dust abatement, and assessing 21 of 37 Boulders Residential Development EIR
