Item No. 12 P/C 10-6-77 S-78-1 Page 3 ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF THE PROJECT Agricultural Land - About 26.7 acres of prime farm land will be removed from agriculture. Landscaping, construction, etc. will render it unusable. Consumption of Resources - Resources will be expended in constructing the subdivision including lumber, energy, asphalt, concrete, and other building materials. After construction the resources, primarily energy, will be consumed. - Waste Discharge - About 560 gallons per day of sewage will be discharged to land from the septic tanks or 195, 000 gallons per day. - Traffic - This subdivision should generate about 390 vehicles per day. This will add to traffic on a dead end street. This vehicular traffic will also generate additional air pollutants, - Services - Service responsibilities of the county and the special district will be slightly increased. Increased tax base will partially offset these increased costs. The Lodi Unified School District in particular is suffering from overcrowding due to residential development in the district. MITIGATION MEASURES - The application proposes a public water system with two wells. This should ensure adequate water supply for domestic use and fire protection. - The subdivision will have curbs and gutters. Drainage will be provided ultimately into the Mokelumne River. - Although the provision of sewer service is not proposed, it should be sought. from the Woodbridge Sanitary District which will be providing sewer service to the Country Club Vista Subdivision to the east.

Hydrant Pressure - A minimum residual water pressure of 20 psi is required during flow, (may be reduced to 10 psi where hydrant spacing and main size requirements are met and where all hydrants are provided with at least one 4h" outlet and such outlet is normally used by the fire department) . Water Main Size 1. Minimum size in high valve districts shall be 8" with intersecting mains in each street and 120 on principal streets and where long lines exist that are not connected to other mains at intervals close enough for property mutual support.
