State and Federal storm water management standards in accordance with the California Municipal Storm Water BMP Manual. The County further finds that the Storm Water Master Plan adopted by the CSD provides a plan which maintains the ability of the CSD to address pending and future TMDL objectives as well as data on BMP effectiveness for non-point pollutant source management and treatment. The County finds that a stone water plan has been prepared and approved by the CSD which addresses the interim storm water protection needs of the Neighborhood F Project, which is consistent with the policies and requirements for storm protection included in the Mountain House Master Plan for phased projects as well as State and Federal guidelines for management,non-point source treatment and discharge. All construction projects anticipated for implementation of the entire Master Plan will be subject to CVRWQCB standards and regulations for control of construction related sedimentation and must comply with standards through the preparation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan as required under the Board's National NPDES Permit. The County finds that the Storm Water Report and subsequent analysis contained in the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the Neighborhood F Project proposes that both the permanent improvements consistent with the CSD adopted Storm Water Master Plan for the Community, and interim improvements to serve the subdivision area are consistent with the standards and policies contained in the Master Plan,the mitigations addressed in the MEIR and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the subdivision. Improvements are proposed to collect and convey storm water through both an interim water quality basin and then ultimately to areas for ponding on lands controlled through easement by the CSD behind the Old River levee. As such, course sediment can be given the opportunity to settle,and that storm water can be metered under the control of the CSD out to Old River. These interim improvements will remain in effect until full Mountain House Creek improvements are constructed to allow direct discharge into Old River. The full Mountain House Creek improvements permitting direct discharge into Old River will be constructed pursuant to the CSD's Storm Water Master Plan, and in accordance with-requirements established by the Corps of Engineers and guidelines and standards set by the CVRWQCB. Concerning comments received by the County regarding potential impacts to protected, threatened and endangered species, the County finds that the 1994 Master EIR adequately addressed environmental effects of the Mountain House project to wildlife and wildlife habitat. The County prepared and approved a Mountain House Habitat Management Plan (HMP) for the Mountain House project and the project is obligated to either satisfy the requirements of the Mountain House HMP or otherwise participate in the Countywide San Joaquin Multi Species Habitat Conservation Plan ("SJMSCP")that has been developed by the San Joaquin County Council of Governments. The 1994 Master EIR's analysis of wildlife and wildlife habitat and the Mountain House HMP were subject to litigation. Independently,the California Department of Fish& Game and the International Brotherhood of Pipefitters challenged the certification of the 1994 Master EIR and validity of the Mountain House HMP (San Joaquin County Superior Court California Department of Fish& Game v. San Joaguin County,Docket No. 282812 and Plumbing & Pil2efitting Industry et al. v. San Joaquin County,Document 282773). The 24
