197 ~Vastewater Based on wastewater generation rates provided by the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD), project implementation would increase by 43,333 gallons per day the amount of wastewater that would be transmitted to, and treated by, the Orange County Sanitation District No. 7. Because the existing wastewater network is adequate to accommodate this increase, the project impacts to wastewater services are not considered significant. In order to mitigate the water service impacts of the proposed project, the following mitigation measures have been identified in the environmental impact report: The applicant shall contribute to the OCSD's Connection Fee fund at a rate of $300.00 per 1,000 square feet of commercial development space. This fee rate would translate to a total contribution of $101,100.00 for the proposed project. This measure would provide the District with funds needed for plant expansions and additional chemical treatment at its treatment facilities. Fees shall he paid by the applicant to the Sanitation District prior to the issuance of occupancy permits. 2. The applicant shall work with the OCSD to identify possible on-site methods of reducing the load strength of project-generated wastewater. Implementation of the above mitigation measures will reduce the level of wastewater impacts to a level of insignificance. Project site grading and construction could increase the amount of on-site erosion which would result in increased sediment in storm drains. Operation of the project is expected to increase the amount of runoff by 2.86 cubic feet per second. Because the increase in runoff is considered negligible, the project impacts to storm drainage services are not considered significant. In order to reduce the magnitude of short-term construction-related impacts to City storm drainage facilities and reduce the potential for impacts during project operation, the following mitigation measures have been identified in the environmental impact report: During the grading and construction period, the applicant shall place sandbags around the site perimeter to prevent sediment-filled runoff from being deposited in City storm drains. This measure shall be implemented to the satisfaction of the City of Santa Ana. Should any project-generated sediment be deposited in City storm drains, the applicant shall fund any required clean-up to the mutual satisfaction of the City and the applicant. This measure shall be implemented to the satisfaction of the City of Santa .ama. Exposed soils shall be covered with soil binding material (such as burlap and/or fast growing grasses) by the applicant as soon as possible to prevent soil erosion during storms. This measure shall be implemented to the satisfaction of the City of Santa Ana. The applicant shall prepare a storm drainage plan and submit it to the City Engineer for review and approval. Such a plan shall identify the location and spedfications of proposed drainage facilities. The report shall show to the satisfaction of the City that the proposed project conforms with appropriate surface runoff p~llution and sediment control features as established by the City of Santa Ana.
