Section 4.0—Environmental Setting and Discussion of Impacts <br />4.17.3.4 Solid Waste Impacts (Checklist Questions b and 7) <br />Development of the proposed project would incrementally increase solid waste generation on the <br />school site. The two-story classroom building would be constructed in accordance with the <br />California Green Building Standards Code and General Plan Policy BE -45.3, which would reduce <br />waste from construction of the project. The solid waste generated by the project site is disposed at <br />Ox Mountain Sanitary Landfill, which is estimated to have capacity to operate through 2029. The <br />City of Redwood City currently diverts 61 percent of its waste from landfills; therefore, <br />approximately 61 percent of the solid waste generated by operation of proposed project would be <br />diverted from Ox Mountain Sanitary LandfilI.42 Additionally, According to Cal Recycle Ox <br />Mountain Sanitary Landfill has a substantial amount of remaining capacity to continue receiving <br />solid waste from Redwood City and other jurisdictions. For these reasons the incremental increase in <br />solid waste generated by the proposed project would be served by a landfill with sufficient capacity. <br />(Less Than Significant Impact) <br />4.17.4 Conclusion <br />The proposed project would not result in significant utilities and service system impacts.
