The new sewer lift station would <br />replace an out -of -date facility located beneath Bristol Street approximately 700 feet to the west of <br />the proposed site. The new station will include mechanical and electrical equipment, an updated <br />operating system, and additional pumps, which will greatly reduce the possibility of a major sewage <br />spill. <br />In December 2008, the City prepared a CEQA Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration <br />(MND) for the proposed project. The MND was approved by the City Council on February 2, 2009. <br />55A -1 <br />
