~.tl ENVIItONMENTAL CHECIQ.IST ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Less Than Significant Potentially With Less Than Signiftcant Mitigation Significant No Issues (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporation Impact Impact I. AESTHETICS -- Would the Project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? ^ ^ ® ^ b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? ^ ^ ® ^ c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? ^ ^ ® ^ d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? ^ ^ ® ^ SETTING OVERVIEW The Project proposes the construction of additional pipeline to the existing EDBA pipeline to distribute recycled water for irrigation. All proposed pipeline segments would be installed underground or hung from an existing or proposed bridge. There would be some temporary visual changes, but less than significant changes to the visual condition of the Project area in Oyster Bay Regional Park and Marina Park. There would be a permanent 20 foot by 20 foot water recycling disinfection and filtration plant (water recycling plant) built at the Monarch Bay Golf Complex and a disinfection and filtration facility at the WPCP. Scenic resources would not be damaged by construction, and any damaged roads or landscaping as a result of construction would be repaired or replaced. There are no historic buildings in the vicinity of the Project azea. However, up to six ornamentals trees would be removed at the Monarch Bay Golf Complex for construction of the water recycling plant. DISCUSSION a,b) Proposed pipelines would be buried underground causing no permanent changes in the visual condition of the Project area. The water recycling plant at the Monarch Bay Golf Complex would have above-ground structures occupying a 400 squaze foot site within the golf course along the fence line bordering Monarch Bay Drive. The building would be similar in appearance to existing structures at the golf course and therefore would not alter the visual character of the area. Construction of this facility would require the removal of up to six trees along the western fence line. Given the number of trees to be removed and the relatively small size of the affected area, this is not considered a significant impact. The disinfection and filtration facility at the WPCP would be surrounded by similar structures. It would be unlikely to be visible from any off-site locations.
