A 30-inch raw water transmission main is required for the ultimate treatment system, and will be installed to supply Phase 1. The pipeline will be located in the western shoulder of Bruns Road until it crosses under Byron Bethany Road, then parallel to the northern edge of the Southern Pacific right-of-way to the water treatment plant site. The total length of the transmission line is 21,000 feet. Raw water storage is not being provided during the initial stages of the water treatment plant. The need for raw water storage will be further evaluated with BBID as development occurs. If standby sources of water are necessary due to a potential outage of the California Aqueduct, it may be more economical to invest in an emergency connection with another water provider, such as the USBR for raw water or the City of Tracy for treated water. Treatment Plant Site Both the Phase 1 and ultimate treatment plant site will cover 9.6 acres and be enclosed on all sides except adjacent to the railroad right-of-way by a 6-foot high chain-link fence with tan plastic slats and topped with 3 strands of barbed wire. A 7-foot high community wall as required by the Master Plan will be located on the railroad side of the plant. Inside the fence on all sides will be evergreen trees, presumably eucalyptus on 15-foot centers. The ground cover for Phase 1 inside the fence will be dirt of native grasses. Ultimately, the ground cover between structures will be gravel. Site drainage will be to the northwest, which is the natural slope. Water supply will be from the treatment plant itself. A septic tank and leachfield will be provided for sewer service. One exterior light will be located on each tank, and two will be located on the northeast corners of the treatment building, but will be used only on demand. The typical exterior light will be high pressure sodium located at a height of 20 feet and will have an intensity of 250 watts. Each door to a building will have a motion activated 100 watt quartz light located at a height of 8 feet. Treatment Facilities Two parallel 3 MGD package-type treatment systems will be installed in Phase 1. These units are factory mounted on a skid approximately 10 feet wide and 50 feet long and delivered to the site by truck. They will be located in a steel building approximately 100 feet long by 40 feet wide by 24 feet high. The exterior of the building will be designed by the developer's architect to match the community theme. As development occurs, additional parallel treatment units will be added, and the building extended. -2-
