Utilities and Service Systems. Using the technical reports prepared for the General Plan Update, and in consultation with utility providers, a brief analysis of the capability of local utility systems to serve higher density residential uses as proposed needs to be completed. The project needs to be evaluated to determine if it requires any construction or expansion of utilities or service systems to adequately support the proposed development. Any hurdles that may pose a barrier to meeting the needs of the proposed development should be addressed. ⮚ Wildfire An analysis of the impacts on fire safety and fire hazards from the proposed higher density residential uses including impacts on emergency response plans or emergency evacuation plans, exacerbate wildfire risks, installation of infrastructure that may increase fire risk, and/or expose people or structures to significant risks needs to be provided. ⮚ Mandatory Findings of Significance A summary of the project’s potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment and sensitive habitat areas must be prepared. The summary should include impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable in relation to past projects, other current projects, and of probable future projects. Any environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on humans directly or indirectly shall be included.

Utilities and Service Systems. Would the project: a) Exceed off-reservation wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board? b) Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant off-reservation environmental effects? c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant off-reservation environmental effects? d) Result in a determination by an off-reservation wastewater treatment provider (if applicable), which serves or may serve the project that it has inadequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments?

Utilities and Service Systems. The proposed project would result in an increase in demand for public services and utilities. According to the RFP, water to the project would be provided by the PSMCSD and wastewater service would be provided by individual septic systems on each lot. As identified above, under Hydrology and Water Quality, the project may result in potential impacts due to a lack of long-term sustainable water supply. As a result, this section will rely on the Hydrogeologic Study (2020) to evaluate the water demands of the proposed project uses. Project water demands and water supply will be compared for three hydrologic conditions: (1) normal water year, (2) single dry year, and (3) severe drought conditions (i.e., three dry years). If significant impacts are identified, mitigation measures will be developed to avoid or minimize project impacts to the greatest extent feasible. In addition, Rincon will use information provided in the 1982 Monterey County General Plan and by County Environmental Health staff, as well as landfill information provided by Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery to quantify and describe the impacts of the project on water and wastewater systems and infrastructure, storm water, and solid waste landfills. According to the Monterey County Geographic Information System, the project is located in State Responsibility Area and is designated as a High Wildland Fire Hazard Area. Based on this designation, the EIR will assess the potential for exposure of future on-site residents to loss, injury, or death as a result of wildland fire. If significant impacts are identified, mitigation measures will be developed to avoid or minimize project impacts to the greatest extent feasible. The project includes a secondary access road for emergencies, and the North County Fire District indicated in October 2015 that this secondary access would satisfy the needs of the Fire District. This analysis will include consultation with the North County Fire District to verify the continued applicability of this review. The EIR will examine these issues and provide appropriate mitigation. CONTRACTOR proposes a 39-week (or nine month) schedule for preparation of the EIR, as presented in the table below. Delays in receiving requested information or responses by others may result delays in the overall schedule.

Utilities and Service Systems. Would the Project: a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board? The Project falls under the Mission Springs Water District’s (MSWD) sewer service area. Public sewer and water is provided to the Project area by the Mission Springs Water District. MSWD does not currently have infrastructure in place for sewer services. MSWD operates two wastewater treatment plants serving 7,300 parcels and a population of approximately 20,400. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Wastewater Treatment Plant (▇▇▇▇▇▇ WWTP), located on Verbena Drive approximately one half mile south of Two Bunch Palms Trail, has a capacity of 2.3 million gallons per day (mgd) (2,800 AFY). The Project is proposing a 69,000 square foot facility specialized for the indoor cultivation of medical marijuana; wastewater is expected to be minimal as the Project would only require up to 30 employees. The Project is not expected to exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the State Regional Water Quality Control Board (SRWQCB) (Colorado River Basin). In addition, City and other local and governmental agency review will ensure compliance with all current and applicable wastewater treatment requirements. Less than significant impacts are expected. b) Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? MSWD provides domestic water and wastewater service in the Project vicinity. The site is currently vacant and undeveloped land and currently not served by existing utilities. Groundwater is the primary source of domestic water supply in the Coachella Valley; MSWD provides potable water to the City by extracting groundwater from the Mission Creek sub-basin. The existing MSWD distribution system consists of three independent water distribution systems. Per the MSWD 2010 Urban Water Management Plan, the MSWD system has approximately 1.26 million linear feet of pipeline. The District’s service area currently includes 10 ▇▇▇▇▇ that supply the Desert Hot Springs System and two ▇▇▇▇▇ each for the Palm Springs Crest System and West Palm Springs Village System. MSWD operates two wastewater treatment plants serving 7,300 parcels and a population of approximately 20,400. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Wastewater Treatment Plant (▇▇▇▇▇▇ WWTP), located on Verbena Drive approximately one half mile south of Two Bunch Palms Trail, has a capacity of 2.3 million gallons per ...

Utilities and Service Systems. We will compare impacts on water supply and service systems, wastewater conveyance and treatment systems, and solid waste collection and disposal systems from the General Plan EIR to the Housing Element. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will submit electronic copies of the Administrative Draft Addendum (in Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat), along with associated appendices, to the City and project team for review and comment. This task includes one round of review and revisions.

Utilities and Service Systems. The 2006 EIR that the project contribution would not be cumulatively considerable or cumulatively significant on public utilities. The modified project similarly would result in little or no demand for such services, and the 2006 EIR conclusions are still valid.
