<br />Investment and Deferred Maintenance Plans).
<br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
<br />In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Mitigated Negative Declaration
<br />(MND) was prepared for the Santa Ana Delhi Channel Diversion Project (Exhibit 3). As noticed in the
<br />Orange County Register on January 27, 2016, the public review period for the MND was from January 27,
<br />2016 to February 25, 2016. Documentation was available for viewing on the City website, the Public
<br />Works Counter in City Hall, the Santa Ana Main Library, and the Orange County Public Library, Mesa
<br />Verde Branch.
<br />Written comments on the MND were received from Orange County Public Works, Department of
<br />Transportation (Caltrans), Orange County Water District, John Wayne Airport, and the Santa Ana
<br />Regional Water Quality Control Board. The comments did not present issues that were substantive in
<br />nature or resulted in changes to any MND findings. All comments have been addressed in the Response
<br />to Comments document to the MND. The proposed project would have a less than significant impact on
<br />the environment. As planned, the Delhi Project would eliminate dry weather flows in the Santa Ana Delhi
<br />Channel to help improve wafter quality in downstream receiving waters including Upper Newport Bay.
<br />FISCAL IMPACT
<br />The total participating agency contribution for this project is $3,895,000. On April 19, 2016, Council
<br />approved the appropriation of $600,000 from the City of Costa Mesa. Approval of the recommended
<br />Appropriation Adjustment will allow additional funds in the amount of $3,295,000 to be deposited into the
<br />Delhi Diversion Project liability account (No. 05701001-25002) as they are received during Fiscal Year
<br />2016-17. The $600,000 in funds (City of Costa Mesa) is available in the Balance Carry Forward in the FY
<br />2016-17 to complete the $3,895,000 project contribution.
<br />After project expenditures are incurred, revenues in the amount of $3,895,000 will be recognized and
<br />appropriated for capital expenditure in the Federal Clean Water Protection Enterprise Fund in the following
<br />revenue and expenditure accounts:
