B. Drainage <br /> The existing City of Tracy's surface drainage system is currently <br /> discontinuous. Tracy historically contains numerous irrigation systems, <br /> including canals and pipelines, served by the Westside Irrigation District, <br /> Banta/Carbona Irrigation District and EI Pescadero Irrigation District. As <br /> development occurs, more land is removed from agricultural uses, which <br /> also reduces the need for irrigation systems. It is the City's intent, as stated <br /> in the existing City's Storm Drainage Master Plan, to utilize irrigation canals <br /> as drainage ditches were financially possible. The City of Tracy has adopted <br /> a Master Drainage Plan for the City which proposes the combined use of <br /> detention ponds abandoned irrigation district facilities and sections of new <br /> drainage systems proposed by the Master Plan on an interim basis, until <br /> completion of the City-wide Master Plan can be obtained. The Master <br /> Drainage System has been in planning since 1984, and will be implemented <br /> at the time the Residential Specific Plan and Industrial Specific Plan are fully <br /> implemented. <br /> The project will connect to the City Storm Drain System, once service <br /> becomes available and lines are constructed. Storm drain lines exist <br /> along the north perimeter of the site. <br /> Only storm water that has not come into contact with refuse will enter the <br /> storm drainage system. Cut off dikes and channels will keep this water from <br /> c act with refuse, washwater, grease, etc. The latter will be retained in a <br /> and tested before disposal at,the sewage treatment plant or other <br /> approved facility. See Item IX RISK OF UPSET for further description. <br /> C. Environmental Impacts <br /> Will the proposal result in: Yes Maybe No <br /> 1. Changes in currents, or the <br /> course of direction on water <br /> movements, in either marine <br /> or fresh water? X <br /> 2. Changes in absorption rates, <br /> drainage patterns, or the <br /> rate and amount of surface <br /> runoff? X — <br /> 3. Alterations to the course or <br /> flow of flood waters? X <br /> 4. Change in the amount of <br /> surface water in any water <br /> body? X <br /> 24 <br />
