Soil Investigations for Data Collection in the Delta Initial Study/Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration 200 communication companies, and cable companies also serves the region. New service to specific sites is provided on a case-by-case basis (United States Bureau of Reclamation 2009). 3.19.2 Discussion a) Require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment or storm drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects? No Impact. Proposed Project activities are minor and short in duration (up to 15 days per site), and do not require a change in utility or service systems. Wastewater services for soil investigation crews would be provided by temporary portable facilities, and the Proposed Project will not require relocation or construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities. The Proposed Project will also not require the relocation or construction of new stormwater drainage facilities. The Proposed Project will not violate water discharge requirements or degrade surface water quality (see the Hydrology and Water Quality section, for more information on applicable MM-HYD-1 for water quality). Proposed Project activities will not interfere with any electric power, natural gas, or telecommunication facilities. While there would be no impact on the above utilities, implementation MM-UTI-1 would further avoid, minimize and/or reduce the potential for impacts. MM UTI-1 A field reconnaissance, marking or staking the exploration site, and calling Underground Service Alert (USA) for utility clearance will be conducted by qualified personnel for each planned soil exploration location. Based upon the information gathered, sites will be adjusted to ensure no utilities are impacted. b) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry and multiple dry years? No impact. Due to the minor and temporary nature of the soil exploration activities, the Proposed Project will not change the availability of existing water supplies. If needed, potable water supply needs are anticipated to be met with non-municipal water sources without any need for new water supply entitlements. Additionally, any potable water demand would be temporary and limited to the short duration of Proposed Project activities at each soil exploration site. Therefore, the Proposed Project activities would have no impact on existing water supplies available to serve the Proposed Project. c) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider that serves or may serve the Proposed Project that it has adequate capacity to serve the
