The long-term cumulative impact of the Project is less than significant as the<br />
project would generate less than one vehicle trip per day due to minimal<br />
maintenance requirements for the new pumping plant facility.<br />
Facts in Support of Findings: Mitigation measures TRAF-1 and TRAF-2 are<br />
hereby incorporated and imposed and shall be monitored in compliance with the<br />
MMRP. Because EBMUD has agreed to this mitigation, any such impacts have<br />
been avoided or will be reduced to a less than significant level.<br />
As a result of these project circumstances and by employing these mitigation<br />
measures, the Project will have less than significant impact to Traffic.<br />
H. Utilities and Service Systems<br />
Impacts: Less than Significant Impact<br />
Findings: There is an existing City of Lafayette 30-inch Reinforced Concrete Pipe<br />
storm drain that is located on the new pumping plant site that will be relocated<br />
prior to the construction of the new pumping plant. EBMUD will coordinate with<br />
the City of Lafayette on the removal and replacement of the storm drain.<br />
The Project will require the excavation of in-place soils. Soils and any solid waste<br />
encountered in the excavations will be disposed of at an appropriate landfill<br />
identified by the contractor as required in EBMUD construction specifications<br />
regarding material off-haul and disposal. The project will comply with applicable<br />
statues and regulations related to solid waste.<br />
As a result of these project circumstances, the Project will have less than<br />
significant impacts to Utilities and Service Systems.<br />
I. Agricultural Resources<br />
Impact: No Impact<br />
Findings: The Project site is not designated as prime Farmland, Unique Farmland,<br />
or Farmland of Statewide Importance. It is located within an urban area<br />
surrounded by residential and commercial uses. The Project site is not currently<br />
zoned for agricultural use nor is it under a Williamson Act contract for<br />
agricultural preservation.<br />
As a result of these project circumstances, the Project will have no impacts to<br />
Agricultural Resources.<br />
J. Cultural Resources<br />
Impact: No Impact.
