Solid waste is disposed of at existing private landfill facilities. There is no <br /> shortage of landfill facilities space within the County, and plans to expand existing <br /> private landfills have been approved. <br /> The proposed project would recycle paper, glass, plastic, metal, wood and other <br /> materials. As a result, the proposed project would not increase solid waste volumes to <br /> landfills, but would rather reduce the volumes of solid waste directed to such facilities. <br /> The project therefore would have beneficial solid waste effects. There exists more than <br /> sufficient solid waste disposal capacity to meet the demands of anticipated growth <br /> within the City of Stockton. No concerns in this issue area are anticipated. <br /> LLevel of Significance: Less than significant. <br /> Mitigation Measures: None required <br /> C /� ,p�+ pp Potentially Less Than Less Than No <br /> 17.

Global climate change is understood to be the result of <br /> atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) that trap heat in the earth's <br /> atmosphere. GHGs are naturally occurring and are emitted by human activity. GHGs <br /> include carbon dioxide (CO2), the most abundant GHG, as well as methane, nitrous <br /> oxide and other gases. Total worldwide emissions of GHGs in 2004 were estimated at <br /> 121339/ST011 R226 3-66 October 14, 2011 <br /> Copyright 2011 Kleinfelder <br />
