WATER

The issues of water demand and supply are region-wide in the Southern California area and transcend the boundaries of individual CPAs or even the City of Los Angeles. However, the 2010 UWMP and the Draft 2015 UWMP indicate that the LADWP has planned for SCAG’s forecasted demographic growth and has determined that it can reliably meet future water demand for the City to the year 2035. Nonetheless, development and population increases under the Proposed Plans could cause an increase in total water consumption in the CPAs, causing an increase in total water consumption. However, if new water facilities are determined to be necessary at some point in the future, the construction of such infrastructure would not be expected to result in significant environmental impacts. Standard infrastructure projects involving replacing or upgrading water facilities, such as trunk lines, generally include the preparation of a mitigated negative declaration (MND) and in some cases may possibly qualify for a Categorical Exemption (e.g. 15302). Historical MNDs for these type of projects indicate typical construction-related impacts including air quality, noise, and traffic impacts. The environmental impacts of the construction and operation of new facilities are consistent with the impacts that have been evaluated throughout this EIR. Specifically, the EIR analyzes anticipated effects of citywide growth related to air quality, noise, traffic, and other environmental impact areas. To the extent that any significant impacts could result from the unique characteristics of the specific project site, those impacts would be speculative at this time. Therefore, impacts from the Proposed Plans were determined to be less than significant, and implementation of the Proposed Plans would not result in a cumulatively considerable impact related to water.

WASTEWATER

Similar to water, the issue of wastewater is a City-wide concern and transcends the boundaries of individual CPAs. Implementation of the Proposed Plans would contribute to an anticipated citywide increase in wastewater flow, and place added demands on the wastewater conveyance system as future development takes place under the Proposed Plans. Implementation of the Proposed Plans could require the construction of new or upgraded wastewater facilities or stormwater or drainage facilities; however, the construction of such infrastructure would not be expected to result in significant environmental impacts. The reasonably expected development under the Proposed Plans for both CPAs is expected to create wastewater generation amounts that equal approximately half of the remaining capacity. In addition, implementation of the Proposed Plans would not result in impacts to wastewater treatment requirements. Therefore, implementation of the Proposed Plans would not result in a cumulatively considerable impact related to wastewater.

SOLID WASTE

Solid waste management is another City-wide concern, with growing solid waste disposal needs and a finite limit to landfill capacity. Implementation of the Proposed Plans could result in development and redevelopment of land uses that would generate solid waste. All solid waste generating activities within the City of Los Angeles are subject to the requirements set forth in AB 939 and other local ordinances. Therefore, the Proposed Plans would not result in a cumulatively considerable impact related to citywide solid waste.

ENERGY

Implementation of the Proposed Plans would facilitate an increase in the City-wide consumption of the non- renewable energy resources of energy and natural gas. While implementation of the Proposed Plans would facilitate demand for energy and natural gas to increase, the impact to the City’s energy resources was determined to be less than significant. The Proposed Plans would support energy efficient practices and would not result in wasteful or inefficient use of energy. Therefore, implementation of the Proposed Plans would not result in a cumulatively considerable impact related to energy.
