V Utilities and Service Systems The EIR will analyze the current capacity of the drainage, water, wastewater, natural gas, and electrical systems, including energy demands of the projects, and the potential for both projects to exceed capacity of these systems. An analysis of local water supply conditions will be provided. The EIR will describe the existing dry utilities (gas, electric, phone, etc.) and water, wastewater, and drainage facilities within the project vicinity, and provide an impact analysis of on-site and off-site utility line construction. The EIR will also describe the existing solid waste facilities that serve the site. Water Supply and Distribution The EIR will evaluate the water demand of both projects_ However, the CHCF settlement agreement assumes that all of the facilities on the NCYCC and NCWF properties will have City-supplied water service and infrastructure. The connection fees for new water meters include the applicable cost of regional distribution and supply systems. Growth Inducement The EIR will evaluate the potential of both projects to result in growth inducement as a result of expansion or extension of infrastructure improvements, as well as new demand for.housing, and goods and services. The effect of primary and secondary increases in employment and economic activity will be discussed. Cumulative Impacts The EIR will discuss the incremental contribution of both projects to cumulative effects of other past, current, and planned and reasonably foreseeable projects in the vicinity. As noted, the cumulative analysis will include the recently approved medical prison facility. ALTERNATIVES TO BE EVALUATED IN THE EIR In accordance with the CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6, the EIR will describe a reasonable range of alternatives to both of the proposed projects that are capable of meeting most of the projects' objectives, but would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the projects. The EIR will also identify any alternatives that were considered but rejected by the lead agency as infeasible and briefly explain the reasons why. The EIR will also provide an analysis of the No Project Alternative. OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT Interested individuals, groups, and agencies may provide CDCR with written comments on topics to be addressed in the EIR for the project. Because of time limits mandated by State law, comments should be provided no later than 5 p.m. on September 16, 2010. i Revised Nonce of Preparation/Initial Study NCRF-and DeWitt Nelson Conversion Project August 2010 1B California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
