jmf 4/30/20 <br />RESOLUTION NO.2020-042 <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF <br />SANTA ANA ADOPTING THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE <br />DECLARATION AND MITIGATION MONITORING AND <br />REPORTING PROGRAM FOR THE WELL NO. 32 <br />REHABILITATION PROJECT <br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS <br />FOLLOWS: <br />Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines <br />and declares as follows: <br />A. The City is proposing to rehabilitate its Well No. 32 by removing the existing <br />pump and installing a new one with a variable frequency drive to pump well <br />water ("Proposed Project"). Well No. 32 has been inactive for over nine years <br />due to low operating efficiency and elevated nitrate levels. <br />B. The Proposed Project includes construction of approximately 3,250 linear feet <br />of new pipeline to pump the well water to the existing John Garthe Reservoir. <br />The Proposed Project also includes a new above -ground well building with an <br />electrical room and a separate chemical facility building for on -site generation <br />of sodium hypochlorite to disinfect well production waters. Appurtenant <br />features include demolition of underground facilities, site improvements, and <br />landscaping. <br />C. The City intends to re -commission Well No. 32 for service. Well No. 32 will be <br />incorporated into the City's existing Nitrate Blending Plan. Water from Well No. <br />32 will be pumped to the John Garthe Reservoir site. At that site, the City <br />blends low nitrate water from Well Nos. 36 and 39 (both located at the reservoir <br />site) with higher nitrate water from Well Nos. 18 and 24, and once reinstated, <br />Well No. 32. <br />D. By reinstating Well No. 32, the City can more effectively improve its water <br />supply reliability and help ease the burden on other water production <br />distribution facilities. <br />E. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2020 and continue for approximately 14 <br />months. Once operational, the potential production capacity of rehabilitated <br />Well No. 32 is expected to range from 2,000 to as much as 2,500 gallons per <br />minute. <br />Resolution No. 2020-042 <br />Page 1 of 5 <br />
