City of Lodi - White Slough Wastewater Expansion EIR Jones & Stokes Associates was retained by the City of Lodi to prepare draft and final EIRs for its planned expansion of the White Slough water pollution control facility. The White Slough facility is located 4 miles west of Lodi in northern San Joaquin County, California, on the edge of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Its service area includes all of the City of Lodi. Planning for expansion of the facility included increasing plant capacity from 5.8 to 8.5 million gallons per day and modifying the disposal scheme,which provided for discharge to the Delta waterway system and irrigation of city-owned agricultural land. Jones & Stokes Associates investigated alternative disposal schemes, including increased reliance on irrigation disposal to reduce surface water discharges and increased reliance on surface water discharges to reduce the need to purchase more irrigation land. Growth issues are a major concern in the Lodi area, so Jones & Stokes Associates conducted a thorough analysis of the influence treatment capacity expansion would have on local growth. The EIR described growth-inducing impacts on local traffic volumes, land use conversion, soil resources, public services and facilities, noise generation, and regional air quality. The direct impact analysis focused primarily on the potential for long-term soil contamination, groundwater degradation, surface water quality changes, and public health risks associated with the wastewater disposal operations. City of Lodi - Century Meadows EIR Jones & Stokes Associates prepared draft and final EIRs for the Century Meadows project located near the City of Lodi. The 160-acre project involved constructing 806 single family dwellings. Although it is located outside the existing city limits, the project site was within a greenbelt established by city voters to preserve agricultural uses. The EIR focused on the conversion of agricultural soils, generation of increased traffic, degradation of air quality, adequacy of public service capacities and infrastructure, and compatibility with adjacent land uses. The land use evaluation included consideration of a general plan amendment, prezoning annexation, and development review prior to review of the project by the city electorate. Grupe Development Company - Brookside EIR Jones & Stokes Associates was retained by the Grupe Development Company of Stockton, California, to prepared an EIR for the proposed Brookside community in west Stockton. The City of Stockton was the lead agency for the EIR. The 1,200-acre project involved development of a major new master-planned community and included more than 4,000 residential units, a commercial center, schools, parks, and a golf course and marina.
