A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
ESTABLISHING A SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
FOR EASTERN DUBLIN
WHEREAS, the Environmental Impact Report for the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (SCH No.
91103064) identified potentially significant environmental impacts associated with the generation and
disposal capacity of solid waste (pages 3.4'20 to 3-4.23); and
WHEREAS, the EIR identified four mitigation measures to mitigate these impacts to a level of
insignificance (MM 3.4/37.0, 38.0, 39.0 and 40.0); and
WHEREAS, two of these mitigation measures (3.4/38.0 and 39.0) require the City to quantify
solid waste generation characteristics; and
WHEREAS, these mitigation measures were prepared in reliance on the state law then in effect
(Public Resources Code §40000, et seq., the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 198'9,
commonly referred to as "AB 939"); and
WHEREAS, AB 939 has since been amended to require that cities determine compliance with AB
939's mandated diversion requirements by disposal characteristics rather than quantifying waste generation
characteristics. (See, e.g. Public Resources Code §41780. l(c)); and
WHEREAS, the Council has determined, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines
§15162 that revision of MM 3.4/38.0 and 39.0 to conform to existing State law does not require
preparation of a subsequent EIR, negative declaration or addendum; and
WHEREAS, the changes to the two mitigation measures will achieve the same result as the
mitigation measures as adopted.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVEb that Eastern Dublin EIR is modified as follows:
The requirements of Mitigation Measures 3.4/38.0 and 39.0 shall be fully satisfied by
incorporating actual Eastern Dublin development into the City's Solid Waste Management Plan
using the California Integrated Waste Management Board approved disposal-based adjustment
method. The first adjustment shall be performed prior to August 1, 1996 and shall be
performed on a regular basis thereafter.
,
All duties and responsibilities imposed upon the City by the approved Source Reduction and
Recycling Element and Household Hazardous Waste Element shall be deemed to apply to
Eastern Dublin. These duties shall include public education and ~itizen awareness programs.
3. To the greatest extent practical, organic waste from the ongoing maintenance of parks and open
space, within Eastern Dublin, shall be composted.
4. All recycling collection services shall be extended to Eastern Dublin.
As part of the Eastern Dublin site review process, multi-family and commercial developments
shall be designed so as to ensure adequate space is provided for the collection of recyclable
materials.
6. To the greatest extent practical, composted materials shall be used in landscaped areas for all
Eastern Dublin developments.
