Manteca CITY OF MANTECA 2 thewv4,nw PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY 4�J&b DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR MANTECA WASTEWATER QUALITY CONTROL FACILITY MASTERJ' fTDATE &WASTERWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM MASTER PLAN UPDATE Pursuant to Section 15087 of the California Environmental Quality Act,(CEQA)guidelines,the City of Manteca acting as lead agency has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report ("Draft EIR') for the proposed project. This notice provides public notice of the availability of the Draft EIR and pursuant to Section 15105 of CEQA guidelines provides an opportunity for public review and the submission of comments regarding the potential environmental effects related to implementation of this project. Project Title: Manteca Wastewater Quality Control Facility(WQCF)MasterPlan Update and Wastewater Collection System Master Plan Update. Project Applicant/Owner: City of Manteca. Project Location: The WQCF occupies approximately 22 acres of a 210-acre City of Manteca (City)-owned site, which is bounded generally by Yosemite Avenue to the north, SR 120 to the south,Airport Way to the east, and both McKinley Avenue and the Union Pacific Railroad to the west. Proposed WQCF expansion and upgrades would be located primarily within the existing 22-acre WQCF site. A proposed treated effluent outfall pipeline would extend from the WQCF to a side-bank outfall structure at the San Joaquin River. Proposed wastewater collection system improvements would generally be located along the perimeter of the city. Local roadways in the vicinity of the proposed wastewater collection system include Woodward Avenue,Lathrop Road, and Airport Way. Project Description: The proposed project would expand WQCF treatment capacity from 9.87 million gallons per day(mgd)to 27 mgd average dry weather flow(ADWF),would construct new trunk sewers to accommodate growth planned for in the City's general Plan(adopted in 2003),and would construct a new recycled water distribution system. The project would result in the construction of treatment facilities to achieve compliance with water quality limitations including rapid mixing and flocculation tanks to address turbidity requirements and a tertiary ultraviolet (UV)light disinfection treatment system to address wastewater reuse requirements. The proposed project would reach buildout via a two-phase,incremental expansion,with capacity increasing from 9,87 to 17.5 mgd ADWF in the first phase,and then from 17.5 to 27 mgd ADWF in the second phase. The proposed increase in capacity would be accommodated using the City's long-term effluent disposal strategy of on-site land application, urban landscape irrigation,and San Joaquin River discharge. The proposed project would also include the incremental construction of three new trunk sewers and improvements to the collection system.
