4 Environmental Analysis <br /> 4.17 Utilities and Service Systems <br /> In summary, the Project would be implemented in compliance with applicable federal, state, and <br /> local statutes and regulations related to solid waste and battery disposal. Therefore, impacts <br /> would be less than significant. <br /> Mitigation: None required. <br /> IMPACT 4.17-5: Would the project comply with federal, state, and local management and <br /> reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste? (No Impact) <br /> The proposed Project would be required to comply with federal, state, and local management and <br /> reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste. Most solid waste generated during <br /> construction would be non-hazardous and consist primarily of cardboard, wood pallets, copper <br /> wire, scrap metal, common trash, and wood wire spools. Construction waste materials, such as <br /> metal and wood, would be separated from the waste stream and recycled whenever feasible. <br /> Construction materials would be handled in accordance with the 2022 California Green Building <br /> Standards Code, which establishes standards for construction and demolition waste <br /> management, and recycling or salvage of a minimum of 65 percent of nonhazardous construction <br /> and demolition waste. Non-recyclable construction waste would be placed into commercial trash <br /> dumpsters located on-site. Dumpsters would be collected as needed by a commercial service <br /> and delivered to a landfill. Construction would generate an average of approximately 5 cubic yards <br /> of solid waste per week over the period of construction. Operation and maintenance activities <br /> would generate less than 1 cubic yard of waste per week, to be accumulated in an on-site <br /> dumpster that would be collected by a commercial waste management service. <br /> During initial construction and eventual decommissioning,the Project would be required to comply <br /> with the regulations promulgated by CalRecycle, which are intended to assist the County in <br /> compliance with the SB 1383 Short-lived Climate Pollutants (SLCP): Organic Waste Reductions <br /> regulation goals (CalRecycle 2000). As described above, Project operation would generate a <br /> negligible amount of solid waste, collected in an onsite dumpster that would be collected by a <br /> commercial waste management service. Therefore, the Project would not negatively impact the <br /> provision of solid waste services or the attainment of solid waste reduction goals, and no impact <br /> would occur. <br /> Mitigation: None required. <br /> 4.17.5 Pacific Gas and Electric Tesla Substation <br /> To accommodate the Project, PG&E would be responsible for siting, design, and construction of <br /> the gen-tie transmission line from the point of change of ownership (POCO) to their substation. <br /> Two options are available for the gen-tie line route from this point. The first option would be to <br /> connect via an aboveground line from the POCO to a point on the west side of the southwestern <br /> boundary of the substation. The second option is to enter the substation on the southwestern <br /> edge by way of a belowground line as shown in Figure 2-1 of Chapter 2, Project Description. <br /> Either right-of-way corridor is assumed to be up to 100 feet in width. <br /> Additionally, PG&E would upgrade the Tesla Substation, and the improvements would include <br /> the installation of a grounding system, disconnect switches, surge arresters, outdoor lighting and <br /> Griffith Energy Storage Project 4.17-13 Tetra Tech/SCH 2022120675 <br /> Draft Environmental Impact Report August 2023 <br />
