MOUNTAIN HOUSE NEIGHBORHOOD'F"PROJECT INITIAL STUDY reclamation facilities required for the first phase of development shall be complete and operational prior to the issuance of a permit to construct any building(other than those for the water and wastewater plants). Water conservation measures for this first phase of development have been addressed in an Ordinance for Water Conservation and Water Shortage Emergencies prepared by the CSD. However, this ordinance does not address the requirements for water conserving appliances, landscaping and water pressure regulating devices. Other items not addressed include: a public information program regarding the importance of water conservation; a water rate structure to encourage water conservation; and a water conservation monitoring plan prior to submittal of the first Development Permit. The County's Development Title(Chapter 9-1020M)addresses the requirement for low-volume spray heads and drip irrigation for all landscaped areas. This chapter also states that such irrigation systems shall be installed prior to issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy or final inspection. The following are recommended Conditions of Approval for impacts that are found to be less than significant: Condition of Approval WATER-1: The Mountain House CSD shall provide proof to the County Department of Public Works that the wastewater treatment plant has adequate capacity to provide service as the community is built out No final subdivision map shall be approved for any development that would exceed the available capacity of the wastewater treatment plant. Condition of Approval WATER-2:A water conservation monitoring program shall be approved by the CSD[MP 12.3.2 Imp. (b)jfor the proposed project prior to approval of the first final map. Condition of Approval WATER-3: A separate or amended ordinance for Water Conservation shall be prepared for approval by the CSD Board of Directors prior to approval of the Final Subdivision Map to address a public information program regarding the importance of water conservation;a water rate structure to encourage water conservation;and a water conservation monitoring plan (as addressed under Condition of Approval WATER-2 above). e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the provider s existing commitments? A"Will Serve" letter is required from the CSD prior to approval of the Tentative Subdivision Map. This letter has been included in the applicant's submittal material. Refer to the discussion at the beginning of this section above. As stated earlier, adequate easements must be conveyed for the disposal of treated wastewater. Should future disposal of treated effluent to Old River not be possible under the permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board, the CSD would need assurance that on-site areas for reclamation and use of treated wastewater are available over the long term. Condition of Approval WASTEWATER-2: Prior to approval of the first final subdivision map, the applicant shall convey the necessary easements to the CSD for disposal of treated wastewater on lands north of Byron Road J) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs? Based on a waste generation rate of 8 pounds per person per day(Horton, 2000), this first phase of development would generate about 28,200 pounds per day, or 5,150 tons per year of solid waste.
