*:/ : 11-1 h WA <br />3.18 UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS <br />Would the project: <br />a) Require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment <br />or storm water drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities, the <br />construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects? <br />Less Than Significant Impact. <br />Water Treatment <br />The proposed project would involve the construction of community park facilities, and water use would be <br />limited to drinking water fountain use, potential festroom use, and landscaping. The City of Santa Ana Water <br />Resources Division provides water and sewer services to the city. Considering the size of the replacement parks <br />totaling 1.51 acres, and proposed amenities such as drinking fountains and one potential festroom building on <br />the Raitt Street Site, the proposed project would not require the need for the construction or expansion of new <br />water treatment facilities. Additionally, landscaping would be comprised of drought tolerant plants and the <br />festroom would be equipped with water conserving fixtures. The replacement park sites are within highly <br />urbanized neighborhood, and existing water infrastructure are in place to serve the proposed park use. The <br />development and implementation of the project would not significantly increase water usage. Therefore, no <br />significant impacts would occur as a result of the proposed project, and no mitigation measures are necessary. <br />Wastewater Treatment <br />The proposed project would involve the construction of community park facilities, and water use would be <br />limited to drinking water fountain use, potential festroom use, and landscaping. The City of Santa Ana Water <br />Resources Division provides water and sewer services to the city. Considering the size of the replacement parks <br />totaling 1.51 acres, and proposed amenities such as drinking fountains and one potential festroom building, the <br />proposed project would not fequire the need for the construction or expansion of new of expanded wastewater <br />treatment facilities. The festroom (if constructed) would be equipped with water -conserving fixtures and only <br />minimal wastewater disposal is anticipated. The replacement park site have been previously developed with <br />residential uses, and one potential restroom buildingwould not create demands for new of expanded wastewater <br />treatment facilities. No significant impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures are necessary. <br />Stormwater drainage <br />Stormwatef improvements for the replacement parks would connect to the existing storm drainage <br />infrastructure and would not require off site new stormwater drainage facilities. Although the proposed project <br />could slightly increase the on site impervious surface areas, the proposed parks would provide rock bioswales, <br />drywell stormwater capture system, and different pervious surface materials to ensure that runoff volume from <br />the project site does not exceed the existing runoff volume. Offsitedrainage facilities would not be affected <br />substantially, since the off site runoff volume and rate conditions would not change significantly. Significant <br />75C-124 <br />
