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.
