MOUNTAIN HOUSE PROPOSED MACHADO TENTATIVE MAP 4.ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 4.16 UTILITIES AND SERVICE The amount of water conservation that is actually achieved will be an important factor in providing a reliable water supply to meet future demands. Specific Plan III Implementation Measure 12.2.3.c states that water use shall be monitored continuously and adjustment to supply made as necessary as directed by the MHCSD. The WSA states that Specific Plan III's proportionate share of the 257 afy shortfall is 41 afy. In response to this conclusion, Specific Plan III proponents proposed that an additional 60 afy of non-potable water would be provided to the College Park site by BBID for landscape irrigation. With construction of this non-potable water system, adequate additional water would be provided to make up the 41 afy shortfall identified in the WSA. Therefore, adequate water would be provided to serve the proposed project, and a less-than-significant impact would occur. e) 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, the wastewater treatment provider for the Mountain House Community, does — not have a commitment to provide wastewater treatment for any community or area other than the MHMP 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. Future expansions of the WWTP are discussed in SPIIIEIR. Since these expansions must occur prior to occupancy of houses or buildings in the progressive — development of Specific Plan I, Specific Plan II, and Specific Plan III, the MHCSD would always have adequate wastewater treatment capacity. Therefore, adequate wastewater treatment capacity would be provided to serve the proposed project, and a less-than- significant impact would occur. )� Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's — solid waste disposal needs? Solid waste from Specific Plan III neighborhoods (including the proposed project)would be — collected by Tracy-Delta Disposal Company and brought to the Lovelace Transfer Station south of Tracy.Non-recyclable garbage would then be trucked to the Foothill Landfill located approximately 50 miles east of the Mountain House Community. The Foothill — Landfill has a total remaining disposal volume of 135,520,000 tons and is expected to remain in operation until the year 2054 (EDAW, 2005b, Appendix D). San Joaquin County Solid Waste Division estimates that each household resident would generate approximately 8 pounds of solid waste per day, of which 6.6 pounds would be disposed of in landfills(Johnson, 2004). The remainder would be recycled or composted. San Joaquin provides three types of recycling services for the southwestern portion of the county: curbside pickup, buy-back centers,and drop-off centers. Approximately one percent of the volume would be household hazardous waste that would have to be disposed of in a Class H or I landfill. 4-88
