Multiple sets of overhead high-voltage transmission lines from the substation traverse <br /> the Project site in southeasterly and southwesterly directions. <br /> Natural gas utility connections exist at nearby residences; however, no natural gas utility <br /> connections are located at the Project site. <br /> 4.17.1.5 Telecommunications <br /> Telecommunications connections exist at nearby residences; however, no telecommunications <br /> infrastructure is present within the Project site. <br /> 4.17.1.6 Solid Waste Management <br /> San Joaquin County is primarily served by the Foothill Sanitary Landfill and the North County <br /> Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill. The Foothill Sanitary Landfill currently has a permitted <br /> capacity of 1,500 tons of solid waste per day and a total design capacity of 138,000,000 cubic <br /> yards; the landfill has an estimated "cease of operation date" of December 31, 2082 <br /> (CalRecycle 2022a; San Joaquin County 2022;). The North County Recycling Center and <br /> Sanitary Landfill has a permitted capacity of 825 tons of solid waste per day and a total design <br /> capacity of 41,200,000 cubic yards with an estimated "cease of operation date" of December 31, <br /> 2048 (CalRecycle 2022b). <br /> Alameda County is primarily served by the Vasco Road Sanitary Landfill and the Altamont Landfill <br /> and Resource Recovery.

Based on current capacity, the estimated <br /> effective closure year is 2031. In March 2022 Alameda County submitted an Initial Study - <br /> Negative Declaration for continued use of the landfill that would result in an increase of 7,237,100 <br /> cubic yards in total design capacity, which would extend the closure year to 2051 (County of <br /> Alameda 2022). The Altamont Landfill and Resource Recovery has a permitted capacity of 11,150 <br /> tons of solid waste per day and a total design capacity of 124,400,000 cubic yards with an <br /> estimated "cease of operation date" of January 1, 2025 (CalRecycle 2022b). <br /> 4.17.2 Regulatory Setting <br /> 4.17.2.1 Federal <br /> Clean Water Act <br /> Section 304 of the CWA establishes primary drinking water standards and requires states to <br /> ensure that potable water retailed to the public meets these standards.
