4.17.1.3 Storm Drainage System <br /> The Redwood City Public Works Services Department maintains the storm drainage system which <br /> serves the project site. Stormwater in Redwood City is conveyed into creeks,lined channels, storm <br /> drainage pipes and retention basins, all of which drain directly into San Francisco Bay. <br /> 4.17.1.4 Solid Waste <br /> Solid waste and recyclable materials from Redwood City are initially transported to the South <br /> Bayside Transfer Station(SBTS),41 located in the City of San Carlos. In 2006,Redwood City <br /> diverted 61 percent of its waste from landfills through recycling and reuse. <br /> Solid waste that is not diverted from the landfill is compacted at the transfer station. Approximately <br /> 90 percent of solid waste that is not diverted is sent to the Ox Mountain Sanitary Landfill,located <br /> east of Half Moon Bay in unincorporated San Mateo County. According to the California lntegrated <br /> Waste Management Board(CIWMB),the Ox Mountain Landfill is estimated to have a remaining <br /> capacity of at least 31 million cubic yards or 80 percent of the landfill's total potential capacity.42 <br /> This landfill is currently permitted to operate through January 2018. The other 10 percent of <br /> Redwood City's solid waste is diverted to numerous landfills in the Bay Area and elsewhere in the <br /> State of California. The City generated approximately 76,436 tons of solid waste in 2009. <br /> The existing jewelry store generates approximately 26 pounds of solid waste per day.43 The <br /> restaurant has been vacant since 2000 so no solid waste generation was assumed. <br /> 4.17.2 Environmental Checklist and Discussion of Impacts <br /> UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS <br /> Less Than <br /> Potentially Significant Less Than <br /> Significant With Significant No Impact Beneficial Information <br /> Impact Mitigation Impact �P�f Source(s) <br /> Inco orated <br /> Would the project: <br /> 1) Exceed wastewater treatment � � � � � 1,2,3 <br /> requirements of the applicable <br /> Regional Water Quality Control <br /> Board? <br /> 2) Require or result in the construction � � � � � 1,2,3 <br /> of new water or wastewater treatment <br /> facilities or expansion of e�sting <br /> facilities,the construction of which <br /> could cause significant environmental <br /> effects? <br /> 41 A transfer station is where recyclables and refuse are collected and sorted in preparation for processing or landfill. <br /> 4z California lntegrated Waste Management Board. 20ll. <br /> <http://www.calrec cl�gov/a�rofiles/Facility/LandfilULFI'rofileIl.as�?Ct7II�=4Il&FACII�=4Il-AA-0002> <br /> Accessed September 12,2012. <br /> 43 California lntegrated Waste Management Board.
