5.ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST MOUNTAIN HOUSE NEIGHBORHOODS KAND L INITIAL STUDY 16.UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS III SPIT Implementation Measure 12.2.2 states that if in the future there is insufficient water for buildout of the community, then measures shall be taken to obtain an additional water supply, to implement more extensive conservation measures, or to revise the Master Plan. Presumably, revising the Master Plan means reducing the mix or number of future dwelling units in order to reduce water demand. Combinations of these three corrective measures could be implemented. Mitigation Measures Mitigation Measure UTILITIES-1: Prior to site development, the applicant shall verify that adequate wafer supplies would be available to serve the project. If necessary, a reduction in units may be necessary to ensure that adequate water is available. Documentation of this verification shall be provided to the County prior to the issuance of any building permits for . Neighborhoods K and L. e) Would the project result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments? The MHCSD is the wastewater treatment provider for the Mountain House community and does not have a commitment to provide wastewater treatment for any other community or area. The MHCSD may provide wastewater treatment to existing houses on the south side of Grant Line Road and the south bank of Old River if those property owners choose to annex to the MHCSD, but the amount of wastewater generated by these houses would be small. Expansion of the WWTP is discussed in Item(b)above. Since this expansion must occur prior to occupancy of houses or buildings in SPI, SPII,or SPIII that would increase wastewater generation to more than the capacity of the WWTP, the MHCSD would always have adequate wastewater treatment capacity. This potential significant impact was adequately addressed in the 1994 MEIR and no additional mitigation measures are required. 0 Would the project be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs? Section 6.7 of the Master Plan states that solid waste generated by the new community will be managed in accordance with the goals of the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989. The act calls for a 50-percent reduction in the solid waste stream going to landfills by the year 2000. Conformance with the act is the responsibility of the San Joaquin County Solid Waste Division. Since there was no solid waste going to a landfill from Mountain House in the year 2000,the Master Plan assumes that the amount of solid waste generated at buildout will be reduced by 50 percent from what would have been generated before initiation of state-mandated waste reduction management. Solid waste from Neighborhoods K and L would be collected by West Valley Disposal and brought to the Tracy Materials Recovery and Transfer Facility in a (grin 1) 5-204
