hours per day, 7 days per week, staff work in shifts. At any given time,a minimum of two operators are needed to <br /> run the WQCF.Approximately 10 additional staff would be needed to operate the WQCF at plant buildout. The <br /> proposed project would also increase the number of staff dedicated to collection system maintenance from two to <br /> six. <br /> WQCF OPERATION <br /> On average, operation of the existing WQCF requires approximately 23 employee vehicle round trips per day and <br /> approximately five maintenance and delivery truck round trips per day. Operation of an expanded WQCF would <br /> require (on average)approximately 33 employee vehicle round trips per day and approximately five maintenance <br /> and delivery truck round trips per day. <br /> 3.8 PROJECT SCHEDULE <br /> An implementation schedule for the proposed project is presented in Table 3-3. The timing of planned <br /> improvements is based on projected wastewater flows and loads,regulatory requirements, operational needs, and <br /> design criteria. Generally,WQCF and collection system expansion is phased in 5-10-year increments over the <br /> planning period. These expansions are large enough to provide reasonable economy of scale yet small enough to <br /> reduce the potential for idle facilities. Therefore,if the City's growth rate is slower than projected,the <br /> construction of the next increment of treatment capacity can be delayed until it is needed. <br /> 3.9 INTENDED USES OF THIS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT <br /> This EIR is intended to be used by the City and other permitting agencies to fulfill the requirements of CEQA. <br /> The City will use the EIR to consider approval of the proposed project.Additionally,the EIR will be used as an <br /> informational document for other agencies that do not have a specific permitting role for the project,but that may <br /> have an interest in the project. <br /> 3.10 REQUIRED APPROVALS AND PERMITS <br /> Implementation of the proposed project would require approval by the Manteca City Council as the lead agency. <br /> Other permitting agencies with permitting approval or review authority over portions of the project may include: <br /> ► Central Valley RWQCB—NPDES General Construction Stormwater Permit, General Order for Dewatering, <br /> NPDES Waste Discharge Permit <br /> ► San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District—Authority to Construct and Permit to Operate <br /> ► California Department of Health Services—rules concerning the use of wastewater effluent for urban <br /> irrigation purposes <br /> ► California Department of Transportation—Encroachment Permit for State Highways <br /> ► Reclamation Board of the State of California—Encroachment Permit for an Adopted Flood Control Plan, <br /> Channel Reconfiguration Permit <br /> ► U.S. Bureau of Reclamation—Canal Crossing Permit <br /> EDAW Manteca WQCF and Collection System Master Plans EIR <br /> Project Description 3-24 City of Manteca <br />
