2. Project Description <br /> <br />San Leandro Treatment Wetland <br />IS/MND <br />2-17 February 2024 <br /> <br />The WPCP will continue to discharge effluent into the EBDA Common Outfall, albeit with a reduction in total <br />volumes due to the portion directed through the treatment wetland and subsequently discharged via the <br />existing outfall pipe. <br />The implementation of the Proposed Project will result in increased energy consumption at the WPCP. The <br />MABR nitrification system and associated pumps will require additional power, although it represents a less <br />energy-intensive approach to nutrient removal when compared to other alternatives. As detailed in Section 3.7, <br />Energy, the total energy usage at the WPCP is projected to rise by approximately 600 megawatt-hours per year. <br />Anticipated maintenance activities will include periodic draining, necessitating the cessation of treatment <br />activities in the treatment wetland to address aquatic weed establishment and vegetation management. The <br />constructed wetland will remain subject to periodic inspections by the Alameda County Mosquito Abatement <br />District. Adaptive management strategies to prevent the establishment of mosquito populations shall be <br />developed in coordination with the Mosquito Abatement District, consistent with ongoing practices at the <br />WPCP.
