Actions re the Final Environmental
ImPact Report for ProoosedForma
tion of County Sanitation District
No.14 and Proposed Reorganization
No.79 Involving Reorganization of
Districts Nos.7 and 13
Receive and file Staff Summary Moved,seconded and duly carried:
Report summarizing the Final EIR
That the Staff Summary Report dated
July 17,1985,summarizing the Final EIR for Proposed Formation of County
Sanitation District No.14 and Proposed Reorganization No.79 Involving
Reorganization of Districts Nos.7 and 13 be,and is hereby,received and
ordered filed.
Report of environmental consultant The Chair recognized Michael
Michael Brandman Associates Brandman,representing Michael
Brandman Associates,the Districts’
environmental consultant,who noted that twelve agencies responded to the
Draft EIR.He then briefly reviewed the comments received and addressed the
issues raised in said comments.
Mr.Brandtnan then reviewed the method used to analyze the various
alternatives to formation of proposed District No.14 and indicated that his
firm had found this proposal to be superior to other alternatives in terms of
engineering practicality and environmental acceptability.
At the request of the City of Fountain Valley,the consultant extended their
evaluation of proposed future facilities requirements through the year 2020
to coincide with the Irvine Ranch Water District’s Master Plan.Projections
indicate that development within the existing eight Sanitation Districts and
proposed new District No.14 through 2020 will necessitate construction of
additional basic facilities and that these facilities will bring the total
area used from 65 to 99 of the total 108 acres available.Areas of existing
and/or anticipated impact include odors,traffic control,,sludge disposal and
energy consumption but these issues will be addressed through various Master
Plan mitigation programs.
The issue of population growth was raised in the comments and addressed by
the consulant.The consultant pointed out that growth inducing development
is not controlled by the Sanitation Districts but by the County and the
cities,the entities with land use authority.In the event future land use
decisions necessitated additional sewerage system capacity,the Sanitation
Districts would respond as appropriate.
The addition of District No.14 to the Joint Sanitation Districts will
complete the allocation of local water districts to one or another of the H
three regional wastewater management agencies.The northern and western
portion of the county will be served by the Sanitation Districts,the
south—central portion of the county will be served by AWMA,and the southern H
portion of the county will be served by SERRA.The project completes the
logical process of annexations within Orange County.
Mr.Brandman reviewed the assumptions and sources used in the air quality
analyses for both the existing Joint Works’operations and future operation H
of the facilities required if District No.14 is formed.H

In response to comments received with regard to planned infrastructure
facilities of other agencies,the consultant noted that the Districts would
coordinate the construction of proposed District 14 conveyance facilities
with the various agencies that may be impacted by said projects in order to
ensure that conflicts are avoided and opportunities for joint cooperation are
maximized.
In response to issues of water conservation,Mr.Brandman reported that their
investigation confirmed that the use of low—flow toilets is now mandatory in
the State of California.He also advised that IRWD was cited as one of two
districts in Orange County which is practicing a compehensive water
conservation program.
The consultant commented that the Draft EIR for Proposed District No.14,
combined with the comments and responses to these comments,provide a
comprehensive analysis of the potential environmental effects of the proposed
project.The serious issues raised in the course of study and at the public
hearing have all been addressed and the Boards have committed themselves to
mitigation programs to respond to each of these issues.
In response to questions from Directors the Joint Chairman recognized Kris
Lindstrom of K.P.L1indstrom,Inc.,the Districts’environmental consultant
that prepared the EIR for the Joint Works Wastewater Master Plan.He
responded to a question relative to one of the possible long—term reclamation
alternatives in the Seal Beach area that was identified as one alternative in
a previously completed Orange County/Los Angeles County (OLAC)study.It is
not economically feasible at this time and Mr.Lindstrom pointed out that
should it be considered in the future a complete environmental report would
have to be completed.
In response to a question concerning hazardous wastes,Mr.Liridstrom pointed
out that the Orange County Sanitation Districts are not responsible for
hazardous waste disposal.The Districts’industrial waste ordinance has
stringent restriction~and controls what can be discharged into the
Districts’sewerage system from within the Districts’boundaries and there
are no plans to accept wastes from South County agencies.He then reviewed
some of the new requirements that hazardous waste sites are going to have to
comply with.Currently,there are four disposal sites in the State of
California and hazardous wastes must be trucked to one of these.The closest
one to Orange County is Casmalia in Santa Barbara County.
