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 —~—H ~l1 3 0 0 ~Lt,~Li~Ii H ~~k~~thi~ /~4’/~ 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.
