PotentiallyLess Than Less Than Significant Significant with Significant No g Mitigation g Impact Incorporated Impact Impact XIX. Utilities and Service Systems. Would the project: a) Require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment, or storm water drainage, electric power, natural gas, or ❑ ❑ ❑ telecommunications facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects? b) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ development during normal, dry and multiple dry years? c) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the ❑ 11project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments? d) Generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local ❑ ❑ � ❑ infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals? e) Comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to F-1 ❑ 11solid waste? Impact Discussion: a) Less-than-Significant Impact. The Project would involve the construction of new water, wastewater treatment, stormwater drainage, electric power, natural gas, and telecommunication facilities. However, these facilities would be located entirely within the Project site and would not require the installation of off-site facilities, except where connections to existing utility lines within the surrounding public right-of-way may be required. Moreover, these facilities would be constructed with standard construction techniques and in accordance with all regulatory requirements that address potential impacts associated with trenching activities and the use of heavy machinery. For example, as described previously in Section X, Hydrology and Water, a SWPPP would be prepared for the Project, which would require the implementation of BMPs and pollutant control measures to minimize pollutants and reduce runoff to levels that comply with applicable water quality standards. As a result, impacts associated with the relocation of existing or construction of new utilities would be less than significant, and this issue will not be addressed within the Draft EIR. b) Potentially Significant Impact. Domestic, irrigation, and fire suppression water would be sourced on the Project site through the installation of two on-site water wells, and the Project would include a 500,000-gallon aboveground water storage tank that would be reserved for fire suppression uses only. Further analysis is required to determine whether the Project would have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry and multiple dry years. This topic will be analyzed further in the Draft EIR. c) Less-than-Significant Impact.Wastewater generated by the project would be treated by on-site septic tanks and associated leach fields. Septic tanks installed in the County are subject to San Joaquin County Ordinance Code Section 9-1100 et seq., which requires issuance of a Sanitation Permit by the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Division for the construction of a private septic system and sets forth requirements for the siting and Enter oroiect#s. —Initial Study 35
