Impact 2 - On-site Wells for Fire Water Supply Water use at the proposed facility would be for fire, domestic an process purposes. An on-site well would be drilled to accommodate wate supply needs. The on-site well would be pumped with a low-flow and high-flo pump. The low-flow pump would provide domestic and process water durin normal operations. The high-flow pump would be activated during a emergency to supply the required minimum flow of 65 pounds per squar inch (PSI) to the automatic fire sprinkler system and fire hydrants located within the compounds of the facility (Falcon Energy Associates 1988) . The fire water supply well and pump would be located north of the plant, set back 180 feet from the Atchison-Topeka and Santa Fe Railway easement. The well would supply water to the twelve proposed fire hydrants to be located approximately 200 feet apart in the strategic parts of the facility. Mitigation Measure. All wells drilled on-site for fire water supply and other domestic purposes should be approved and monitored by the San Joaquin Local Health District. Impact 3 - Sanitary Sewage Disposal Demands Sanitary sewage disposal for the proposed facility would be provided by individual septic systems at each building housing a restroom facility. Each septic system would be required to have an area of equal size set aside for 100 percent replacement system if the original septic system fails (Miller 1988) . Soil analysis performed on the project site confirms the presence of clay in the soil which would require area for individual seepage pits in addition to the leach line for each septic system. The size of the seepage pits would be determined by the San Joaquin Local Health District after review of County requirements and facility specifications. The proposed septic system would more than adequately accommodate the proposed 28 facility employees (Miller 1988) . 3-16 104-6.R3 4/10/89
