3.0 Environmental Impact Checklist require a Hydrology and Hydraulics Study to show that post-development stormwater discharge would be equal or less than pre-development discharge levels on-site and to confirm the City's existing storm drainage system would have adequate capacity to accommodate the project. Impacts are less than significant with implementation of mitigation. d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources,or are new or expanded entitlements needed? Less-than-Significant Impact. Water is provided to the project area by the City.Redwood City's potable municipal water supply is provided by the Hetch Hetchy regional water system operated by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission(SFPUC).The City's 2010 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) assumes a relatively steady amount of water purchases from the SFPUC through 2030. The UWMP takes into account the project population growth of the City and that adequate water supplies are available to meet the City's water needs. Table 6 shows the existing and anticipated future water supplies by source.

The project would be required to comply with all applicable state and local codes, including the City of Redwood City's Water Conservation Program,which mandates the use of water conserving equipment,plumbing fixtures, and drought-tolerant landscaping. Further,the development would be required to be equipped for dual plumbing for landscaping and toilets per City ordinance. Since the proposed residential use of the project site is consistent with the General Plan, development of the project site was accounted for in the City's UWMP water demands. The planned water supply for the City would be capable of accommodating the water demand of the project,representing a less-than-significant impact. f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs? Less-than-Significant Impact.Allied Water Industries Incorporated provides solid waste collection,recycling, and disposal services to the City, including the project site,under a franchise agreement. Collected waste is transported to the South Bayside Transfer Station (SBTS)located in the City of San Carlos.Recyclable materials brought to SBTS are transferred to La Palma Subdivision Project Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 63
