a. Potable Water <br /> The project will be served by a public water system (classified as a non-transient, non-community water <br /> system). The project is preparing an application to the State Water Resources Control Board for a permit to <br /> create a new Transient, Non-Community Water System. Once the application has been approved then the <br /> project will work with San Joaquin County's Environmental Health Department to construct the water <br /> related facilities.The water system wells, and the water treatment system will be constructed with the <br /> initial building. The potable distribution system will then be expanded to serve each building as it develops. <br /> Two potable water wells will provide the necessary water required for the project and will pump to the <br /> water treatment facility adjacent to Schulte Road at the eastern project boundary. One potable well will be <br /> located at the water treatment plant site and the other will be located within the development area.The <br /> wells need to be separated as much as possible to insure reliability with the groundwater table. Both wells <br /> will pump water to the central location for treatment and then be distributed to the proposed buildings <br /> within the project. Similar to the recycled water system the central location of the water treatment system <br /> minimizes the pumping requirements and reduces costs for the water facilities due to shorter pipe runs and <br /> less head loss.The treatment system may produce a brine that will need to put into an evaporation holding <br /> tank. <br /> b. Fire water system <br /> The fire well is planned to be located at the water treatment site with an associated storage tank to provide <br /> for the necessary firefighting requirements. Locating the fire system centralizes all the systems and reduces <br /> the pumping and energy requirements, similar to the water and recycled water systems.The fire system <br /> will be independent from the potable water system. The fire system will be designed to meet the <br /> requirements of the local fire district. The fire well and storage tank will be constructed with the first <br /> building. The fire water distribution system will then be expanded as each new building comes online. <br /> An above ground storage tank will provide for the necessary capacity for fire protection for the project. A <br /> looped pipe system and fire hydrant system will provide for the required fire safety requirements for the <br /> project. Booster pumps will be required at each building to provide for the required pressure for the <br /> interior fire sprinkler systems.The fire well,fire storage tank, and fire system pump station are all <br /> anticipated to be located at the potable water treatment site. <br /> c.Wastewater system <br /> The wastewater treatment facility has been located at the lowest elevation within the project.This would <br /> allow for a majority of the proposed development to gravity feed to the wastewater treatment facility.The <br /> only potential development that will have to pump sewer by force main is the development located north <br /> of BBID Irrigation canal.The treated wastewater will be stored in an above ground tank (approximately 2.0 <br /> million gallons) and will be the water source for the recycled water landscape irrigation. The centralized <br /> location minimizes the pumping requirements for wastewater disposal due to the pipe lengths and reduced <br /> head loss which will also reduce energy costs.The central location may also minimize any potential odor <br /> issues associated with the wastewater treatment with neighboring properties to the east. <br /> Page 4 of 7 <br />
