securing additional land for effluent disposal, it may not be able to meet the project objective of providing for the <br /> "cost-effective"expansion of City WQCF facilities. <br /> The Advanced Wastewater Treatment alternative would result in environmental tradeoffs compared to the <br /> proposed project. While impacts to water quality and fisheries would be reduced compared to the proposed <br /> project as a result of greater constituent removal efficiencies,this alternative could result in greater hazardous <br /> material impacts as a result of the brine that is produced as a by-product of the MF/RO process. This alternative <br /> would not reduce or eliminate the project's significant and unavoidable impacts (e.g.,Important Farmland and <br /> odors). While this alternative may achieve most project objectives,because of the substantial expense involved <br /> with constructing and operating MF/RO facilities, it may not be able to meet the project objective of providing for <br /> the"cost-effective"expansion of City WQCF facilities. However, from a water quality perspective,the Advanced <br /> Wastewater Treatment Alternative would be the environmentally superior alternative because this alternative <br /> would have greater constituent removal efficiencies than the project. <br /> Overall,the Modified Pipeline Alignment Alternative would be environmentally superior to the project. This <br /> alternative would not avoid the project's significant and unavoidable impacts (e.g.,Important Farmland and <br /> odors);however,this alternative would substantially reduce the project's impacts to sensitive resources. Further, <br /> all project objectives would be achieved with implementation of this alternative. <br /> Manteca WQCF and Collection System Master Plans EIR EDAW <br /> City of Manteca 7-15 Alternatives to the Proposed Project <br />
