SAN LEANDRO GENERAL PLAN UPDATE FINAL EIR <br />CITY OF SAN LEANDRO <br />COMMENTS AND RESPONSES <br />5-10 AUGUST 2016 <br />TABLE 5-1 COMMENTS AND RESPONSE MATRIX <br />Comment # Date Comment Response <br />provide a legally sufficient, complete and specific written remediation plan establishing <br />the methodology, planning and design of all necessary systems for the removal, <br />treatment, and disposal of all identified contaminated soil and/or groundwater. EBMUD <br />will not design piping or services until soil and groundwater quality data and remediation <br />plans have been received and reviewed and will not start underground work until <br />remediation has been carried out and documentation of the effectiveness of the <br />remediation has been received and reviewed. If no soil or groundwater quality data <br />exists, or the information supplied by the project sponsor is insufficient, EBMUD may <br />require the project sponsor to perform sampling and analysis to characterize the soil and <br />groundwater that may be encountered during excavation, or EBMUD may perform such <br />sampling and analysis at the project sponsor's expense. <br />A04-03 WATER RECYCLING <br />EBMUD's Policy 9.05 requires that customers use non-potable water, including recycled <br />water, for non-domestic purposes when it is of adequate quality and quantity, available <br />at reasonable cost, not detrimental to public health and not injurious to plant, fish and <br />wildlife to offset demand on EBMUD's limited potable water supply. ·Some portions of <br />the City's boundaries fall within and around EBMUD' s San Leandro Recycled Water <br />Pipeline service area. Any projects within the boundary of EBMUD's San Leandro <br />Recycled Water Pipeline service area present opportunities for recycled water uses <br />ranging from landscape irrigation, toilet flushing and other non-potable commercial and <br />industrial applications that can be served by existing or expanded recycled water <br />pipelines in the future. The current recycled water in the area is limited to secondary <br />treated supply. State and health regulations do not allow the use of secondary treated <br />water for some of these applications; however, the existing San Leandro Recycled Water <br />Project could potentially expand uses in the future should the treatment level be <br />upgraded to a tertiary level. If EBMUD determines that recycled water will be available, <br />then the project sponsor will be responsible for extension of recycled water pipelines to <br />and within the proposed development. EBMUD recommends that the City and project <br />sponsors maintain continued coordination and consultation with EBMUD, as they plan <br />and implement the various projects within the 2035 General Plan, regarding the <br />feasibility of providing recycled water for appropriate non-potable uses. <br />The comment provides background information regarding the EBMUD water <br />recycling program . The comment does not state a specific concern or question <br />regarding the sufficiency of the analysis contained in the Draft EIR, nor does the <br />comment raise a new environmental issue. No further response is required. <br />A04-04 WATER CONSERVATION <br />Individual projects within the General Plan area may present opportunities to <br />incorporate water conservation measures. EBMUD requests that the City include in its <br />conditions of approval a requirement that the project sponsor comply with Assembly Bill <br />325, "Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance," (Division 2, Title 23, California Code <br />of Regulations, Chapter 2.7, Sections 490 through 495). Project sponsors should be <br />aware that Section 31 of EBMUD's Water Service Regulations requires that water service <br />shall not be furnished for new or expanded service unless all the applicable water- <br />efficiency measures described in the regulation are installed at the project sponsor's <br />expense. <br />The comment does not state a specific concern or question regarding the <br />sufficiency of the analysis contained in the Draft EIR, nor does the comment raise a <br />new environmental issue. No further response is required. However, the City notes <br />that it is currently in compliance with the State Water Efficiency Landscaping <br />Ordinance (WELO), which applies to new development.
