The present thly user cost for a typ' single family dwelling is approlmately $9.00 per month witwa one-time connection fee of $2,222. No increase in the user cost is anticipated as a direct result of the expansion. Of the connection fee, $1000 defrays the cost of the local share of the initial grant-funded expansion of the treatment plant (Phase I) . Another $1000 is collected to pay for the project described herein (Phase II expansion) . PRIMARY IMPACTS (as a direct result of construction) The proposed expansion will not require the purchase of any additional land. The direct construction impacts will be confined to the existing plant site. We do not expect there to be any significant adverse primary impacts on coastal zones, environmentally sensitive areas , wild and scenic rivers , critical habitats , threatened or endangered plants or animals , groundwater, or environmentally significant agricultural land. Less than an acre of man-made wetlands will be impacted by project construction. The City must comply with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act concerning dredging and filling, and its implementing regulations , and any laws relating to wetlands in the expansion of the treatment facility. A qualified cultural resources specialist has determined that there are no significant cultural or historical features in the direct impact zone. The State Historic Preservation Officer has concurred that there will be no effects on properties included in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. SECONDARY IMPACTS (as a result of population growth accommodated by the project) The project is being sized to accommodate 63 ,700 people in Manteca and 12,300 people in Lathrop in the year 2007. The project is consistent with the Basin Plan for Water Quality in the area and the General Plan for the City of Manteca. However, growth provided for in this project is not consistent with the currently-approved Air Quality Plan for the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin to achieve air quality standards. An updated plan is being developed, reflecting higher population projections. The City of Manteca will be required, through .a grant condition, to implement mitigation measures identified in both the current and updated plans. The City of Manteca is participating in the San Joaquin Valleywide Air Quality Study, a study to identify effective measures that can be adopted by decision makers to mitigate air quality impacts. San Joaquin County's air quality relative to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards set forth in the Clean Air Act is designated as non-attainment for particulates, ozone and carbon monoxide (the latter for the Stockton Metropolitan Statistical Area only) .
