2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST <br />Less Than <br />Significant <br />Ppterttially With Less Than <br />Significant Mitigation Sign{ficant No <br />Issues (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporation Impact Impact <br />XII. POPULATION AND HOUSING -- Would the <br />project: <br />a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, <br />either directly (for example, by proposing new <br />homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, <br />through extension of roads or other <br />infrastructure)? ~ [] (~ <br />b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, <br />necessitating the construction of replacement <br />housing elsewhere? [] <br />c) Displace substantial numbers of people <br />necessitating the construction of replacement <br />housing elsewhere? ~ [] <br />SETTING OVERVXEW <br />No impacts related to growth inducement or population and housing would be associated.with the Project, <br />and no existing housing would be displaced. No long-term visual impacts due to construction are <br />anticipated. <br />DISCUSSION <br />a) Project implementation would result in improved water resources management by reducing <br />existing irrigation demands on groundwater supplies and other potable water during peak summer <br />months. Because the irrigation demands that would be met with recycled water are seasonal in <br />nature, the provision of recycled water service does not "free up"anew potable water supply that <br />could be dedicated to other uses on a year-round basis. Rather, the distribution of recycled water <br />facilities improves EBMUD's ability to manage peak demand fox potable water during summer <br />periods and to allow the City to maintain irrigation to landscaped areas during drought periods. <br />As such, Project implementation would not provide additional water supplies that would support <br />growth. Therefore, no impacts related to growth inducement or population and housing would be <br />associated with the Project. <br />b,c} The Project would not displace existing housing; therefore, this Project would not necessitate the <br />construction of replacement housing elsewhere. <br />MITIGATION MEASURES <br />None required or recommended. <br />San Leandro Recycled Water Project 2-4~ ESA / ?A3193 <br />Draft GS/MND <br />
