NorthLake Specific Plan
Draft Supplemental EIR

Assuming waste would be disposed of at more than one landfill in the vicinity (see Table 5.12-2,
Overview Landfill Facilities), solid waste disposal estimates generated by the proposed Project
would represent less than 0.01 percent of the combined daily permitted waste disposal amounts
for nearby landfills.5 In the absence of any coordinated recycling program, this increase in solid
waste would incrementally reduce the capacity of existing landfills in the area, particularly those
with a shorter estimated remaining life of less than ten years. However, local regulations (e.g.,
AB 939 and the County of Los Angeles ordinance described above) are in place to ensure that
the amount of future solid waste generated would be reduced to the maximum extent feasible.
The successful implementation of such regulations and ordinances would extend the life of these
facilities in the foreseeable future. Finally, State law requires each jurisdiction to have a five-year
landfill capacity available. Overall, the amount of solid waste generated by the proposed Project
is not considered less than significant. However, implementation of MM 5.12-29 through 5.12-37
would serve to reduce the proposed Project’s solid waste impacts.

Level of Significance without Mitigation: Less than significant.

Recommended SCVAP EIR 2012 Mitigation Measures: No mitigation is required; however, the
following mitigation measures shall be implemented to further reduce the potential for an impact.

MM 5.12-29 The County of Los Angeles shall follow state regulations in implementing the goals,
policies, and programs identified in the Los Angeles County Integrated Waste
Management Plan in order to achieve and maintain a minimum of 50 percent
reduction in solid waste disposal through source reduction, reuse, recycling, and
composting. In response to California’s 75 Percent Initiative, at least 75 percent of
all solid waste will be recycled or reused by 2020.Additionally, the Project Applicant
or Construction Manager shall ensure that a minimum of 65 percent of the non-
hazardous construction and demolition debris will be recycled and/or salvaged or
meet a local construction and demolition waste management ordinance. (SCVAP
2012 EIR MM 3.17.1)

MM 5.12-30 The County shall require all future commercial, industrial and multifamily
residential development to provide adequate areas for the collection and loading
of recyclable materials (i.e., paper products, glass, and other recyclables) in
compliance with the State Model Ordinance, implemented on September 1, 1994,
in accordance with AB 1327, Chapter 18, California Solid Waste Reuse and
Recycling Access Act of 1991. (SCVAP 2012 EIR MM 3.17.2)

MM 5.12-31 The County shall require all development projects to coordinate with appropriate
County agencies to ensure that there is adequate waste disposal capacity to meet
the waste disposal requirements of the County’s Planning Area, and the County
shall recommend that all development projects incorporate measures to promote
waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and composting. (SCVAP 2012 EIR MM 3.17.3)

MM 5.12-32 All new development in the County’s Planning Area will be required to implement
existing and future waste reduction programs in conformance with the County’s
Planning Area SRRE program. (SCVAP 2012 EIR MM 3.17.4)

MM 5.12-33 Any hazardous waste that is generated on site, or is found on site during
demolition, rehabilitation, or new construction activities shall be remediated,

5 6.3 tons/day (Solid waste disposal) divided by 17,500 tons/day (combined Maximum Daily Capacity of landfill sites
within vicinity as listed in Table 5.14-3).
