XVI. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The project would be conducted within the boundaries of Emerald Bay State Park (SP) and underwater park, which are managed by California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) under a lease from the California State Lands Commission. Utilities and services are available at the day use and campground facilities. Day use areas provide picnic tables, barbecues, bathroom sinks, flush toilets, and garbage disposal. Campgrounds offer picnic tables, barbecues, campfire pits, water spigots, bathroom sinks, flush toilets, showers, garbage disposal, and lighted areas at night. There are landscaped areas around Vikingsholm Castle, and there are piers at Vikingsolm and Boat Camp. Water The Water Quality Control Plan for the Lahontan Region (LRWQCB 1994 Chapter 5: Water Quality Standards and Control Measures for the Lake Tahoe Basin) has designated beneficial uses for the surface waters of the Lake Tahoe Hydrologic Unit, including Municipal and Domestic Supply (MUN). There are three water intakes in Emerald Bay at Boat Camp boat-in campground, Vikingsholm Historic Complex, and Eagle Point Campground. Only the Eagle Point Campground water intake is in proximity to the project area. Wastewater Wastewater is either treated in septic systems, pumped from vault toilets, or removed from portable toilets. Solid Waste Garbage collected in the park day use and campground facilities is removed by DPR personnel and deposited into commercial contract containers. The containers are picked up by Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal. Other Service Systems There is a historic and a current power line that runs underneath Emerald Bay. The power lines exit the bay near the Emerald Point campground beach. The power line does not run through the project area. WOULD THE PROJECT: a) Exceed wastewater treatment restrictions or standards 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? Would the construction of these facilities cause Asian Clam Control Project IS/MND Emerald Bay State Park California Department of Parks and Recreation LESS THAN POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH SIGNIFICANT NO IMPACT MITIGATION IMPACT IMPACT 72
significant environmental effects? c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities? Would the construction of these facilities cause significant environmental effects? d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources or are new or expanded entitlements needed? e) Result in a determination, by the wastewater treatment provider that serves or may serve the project, that it has adequate capacity to service the projects anticipated demand, in addition to the provider’s existing commitments? f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project’s solid waste disposal needs? g) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations as they relate to solid waste? DISCUSSION a) Project activities are in the jurisdiction of the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board. Cleaning of barriers after completion of the control activities would occur at the existing Lake Tahoe Boat Inspection Program decontamination facilities or Tahoe Regional Planning Agency facility. Although the decontamination process would utilize water treatment facilities, the barrier cleaning would be an activity for which these decontamination facilities were designed to service and would not substantially contribute to exceeding treatment restrictions or standards. Proper decontamination of barriers, along with implementation of Mitigation Measure Hydro-1, will result in less than significant impacts. b-e) No new water treatment, wastewater treatment, or stormwater drainage facilities or expansion of these facilities would be required as a result of this project. There would be no requirement for the wastewater treatment provider to make a determination of capacity to service the project because of the minor service needs and because the action would occur under the existing decontamination program for the Lake Tahoe Basin. No impact. f-g) There are no solid waste disposal needs which could affect permitted capacity of local landfills or result in non-compliance with federal, state, or local statutes or regulations. No impact. Asian Clam Control Project IS/MND Emerald Bay State Park California Department of Parks and Recreation 73
