Policy City Support of Efficient Agricultural Water Usage: "The City 21 will take measures to reduce the reliance of agricultural users on imported 22 water." This project provides the city and region with an innovative and alternative source of water that does not rely on imported water. While 23 reclaimed water will also serve non-agricultural users, the fact that another source of water will be available to the various water users in the city that is 2 not part of imported water supplies, makes this project consistent with this coastal policy. b. Policy Carlsbad Habitat Management Plan: "The Carlsbad Habitat 26 Management Plan is a comprehensive, citywide program to identify how the City, in cooperation with federal and state agencies, can preserve the 27 diversity of habitat and protect sensitive biological resources within the city and the Coastal zone." This project is in compliance with the provisions of the HMP, as outlined in EIR and also as reflected in the findings for Planning Commission Resolution No. 609 approving HMPP PC RESO NO

Steep slopes with native vegetation will not be impacted since pipelines are proposed for city rights-of-way in gently sloping areas without sensitive habitat, or via trenchless drilling construction methods as outlined in EIR Further, only the project's underground pipelines are proposed for 9 installation in Cannon Road where it crosses floodplain boundaries and, therefore, would not contribute to flooding impacts..
