Sex1inger Farmhouse and Orchard Residential Development Project CEQA Findings increase demand on the local water system, however the net increase would not be significant. Therefore, no water or wastewater facilities, or expansion of existing facilities, would be required and impacts are less than significant. (EIR, pp. 5 -99 through 5 -101; January 2014 EIR Attachment, p. 9.) 3. Impact: Would the project require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? Finding: Less Than Significant'.. (EIR, pp. 5.99 through 5 -101; January 2014 EIR Attachment, p. 9.) Analysis: The project would increase impervious surfaces at the project site, resulting in a 25 year runoff of approximately 4.7 cfs and 7.8 cfs, at different locations. A hydrology technical report was completed for the project, and concluded that the flows from the proposed project as compared with the existing conditions at the site is minor and would not exceed the capacity of any street or adjacent storm drain facility downstream of the project. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. (EIR, pp. 5 -53, 5 -54; January 2014 EIR Attachment, 7.) 4. Impact: Would the project result in insufficient water supplies being available to service the project from existing entitlements and resources? Finding: Less Than Significant. (EIR, pp. 5 -99 through 5 -101; January 2014 EIR Attachment, p. 9.) The City is served by its own municipal water system, with the majority of the water supply obtained from groundwater and the remainder purchased from imported sources. The project would increase demand on the local water system, however the net increase would not be significant. Therefore, no water or wastewater facilities, or expansion of existing facilities, would be required and impacts are less than significant. (EIR, pp. 5 -99 through 5 -101; January 2014 EIR Attachment, p. 9.) 5. Impact: Would the project result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which services or may serve the project that it has inadequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments? Finding: Less Than Significant. (EIR, pp. 5 -99 through 5 -101; January 2014 EIR Attachment, p. 9.) Analysis: OCSD is the service agency providing wastewater treatment for the City. The OCSD treatment plant has capacity to serve the project's projected wastewater generation, which is 7,440 gallons per day or less. Therefore, impact would be less than significant.
