3. Environmental Checklist <br /> <br />San Leandro Treatment Wetland <br />IS/MND <br />3-49 February 2024 <br /> <br />Furthermore, the operation of the Project itself does not involve significant land use changes within the <br />watershed compared to current conditions at the site and its surroundings. The Project site is currently paved <br />with impervious surfaces, and storm runoff generated on-site would follow existing patterns. Stormwater runoff <br />will continue to be managed similarly to current practices. <br />During the operations phase, polished wastewater will be managed in accordance with the NPDES permit <br />specifically issued for this project, which considers cumulative effects on water quality and includes specific <br />discharge limits for pollutants and constituents. Compliance with these permit requirements helps mitigate <br />potential cumulative impacts associated with stormwater runoff and water quality during both construction and <br />operations phases. This project is anticipated to reduce nitrogen loading to San Francisco Bay, which will serve <br />to reduce the cumulative impacts of nutrient enrichment in San Francisco Bay. <br />While other projects in the area may also affect water quality, the cumulative impact of the Proposed Project, <br />when combined with these projects, would not be significant given its adherence to existing regulations.
