4.18 Utilities and Service Systems

Transcription

1 Introduction This section describes the regulatory and environmental setting for utilities and service systems in the vicinity of ACEforward s near-term and longer-term improvements. It also describes the impacts on utilities and service systems that would result from implementation of ACEforward and mitigation measures that would reduce significant impacts, where feasible and appropriate. Additional considerations of utilities and service system-related impacts is presented in Section 4.6, Energy, which discusses natural gas infrastructure and impacts related to energy demand; Section 4.9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, which discusses hazardous waste; and 4.10, Hydrology and Water Quality, which describes potential stormwater drainage system impacts. Cumulative impacts on utilities and service systems, in combination with planned, approved, and reasonably foreseeable projects, are discussed in Chapter 5, Other CEQA-Required Analysis Regulatory Setting This section summarizes federal, state, regional, and local regulations related to utilities and service systems and applicable to ACEforward Federal There are no federal regulations pertinent to utilities and service systems State State of California regulations relevant to stormwater pollution prevention are described in Section 4.10, Hydrology and Water Quality. California Government Code Section 4216 California law (Government Code Section 4216 et seq.) requires that persons planning to conduct any excavation contact the regional notification center. Section 4216 includes several related requirements, including requirements for excavations near high priority utilities, 1 which include high-pressure natural gas pipelines and other pipelines that are potentially hazardous to workers or the public if damaged or ruptured. Underground Service Alert North (USA North) is the regional notification center for the areas where ACEforward improvements are proposed. USA North receives planned excavation reports and transmits the information to all participating members that may have underground facilities at the location of excavation. The USA North members will then mark or stake their facility, provide information about the location, or advise the excavator of clearance. These procedures would be implemented during construction of ACEforward improvements. 1 Consistent with California Government Code Section 4216(e), high priority utilities include natural gas pipelines carrying petroleum with normal operating pressures greater than 415kPA (60 pounds per square inch gauge); petroleum pipelines; pressurized sewage pipelines; high voltage electric supply lines, conductors, or cables that have a potential to ground of greater than 60 kilovolt; and hazardous materials pipelines that are potentially hazardous to workers or the public if damaged

2 Integrated Waste Management Act The Integrated Waste Management Act (Assembly Bill 939) mandates a reduction of waste and establishes a framework to implement source reduction, recycling, and composting. The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) is responsible for implementation of the Integrated Waste Management Act. SJRRC is required to comply with the State s recycling policies; solid waste reduction would be implemented during construction of ACEforward improvements and operation of ACEforward in the near-term and longer-term improvements. California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 11, California Green Building Standards Title 24, Part 11 of the California Code of Regulations, or CALGreen, sets standards for sustainable building design for residential and nonresidential buildings in California. The code sets forth sustainable construction practices applicable to planning and design, energy efficiency, water efficiency and conservation, material conservation and resource efficiency, and environmental quality. Effective January 1, 2014, 2013 CALGreen mandates permitted new residential and nonresidential building construction, demolition and certain additions and alteration projects to recycle and/or salvage for reuse a minimum 50 percent of the nonhazardous construction and demolition (C&D) debris generated during a project (CALGreen 4.408, 5.408, , and 301.3) CALGreen will be effective January 1, 2017 and will increase the recycle and/or salvage mandate to 65 percent for new residential and non-residential building construction, demolition, and certain additions and alteration projects (2016 CALGreen and 5.408). CALGreen s sustainable building design standards and construction and demolition recycling and reuse policies would be implemented during construction of ACEforward improvements and operation of ACEforward in the near-term and longer-term improvements. Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance Pursuant to the Water Conservation in Landscaping Act of 2006 (Government Code et seq.), cities and counties in California are required to adopt a water efficient landscape ordinance. Local ordinances are intended to reduce water use for landscaping and irrigation purposes and encourage the use of recycled and reclaimed water for these purposes. The California Department of Water Resources maintains a model water efficient landscape ordinance (MWELO) after which local jurisdictions can model their ordinances. The MWELO is contained in Title 23 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section 490 et seq. Cities and counties in which ACEforward improvements are proposed have adopted water efficient landscape ordinances to require reduction of water usage at new and existing landscaped areas. Some municipalities require the use of recycled water for irrigation of new landscaped areas Regional and Local The San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission (SJRRC), a state joint powers agency, proposes improvements located within and outside of the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) right-of-way (ROW). The Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act (ICCTA affords railroads engaged in interstate commerce 2 considerable flexibility in making necessary improvements and modifications 2 Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) operates within a right-of-way (ROW) and on tracks owned by the UPRR, which operates interstate freight rail service in the same ROW and on the same tracks

3 to rail infrastructure, subject to the requirements of the Surface Transportation Board (STB). ICCTA broadly preempts state and local regulation of railroads and this preemption extends to the construction and operation of rail lines. As such, activities within the UPRR ROW are clearly exempt from local building and zoning codes and other land use ordinances. ACEforward improvements proposed outside of the UPRR ROW, however, would be subject to regional and local plans and regulations. Though ICCTA does broadly preempt state and local regulation of railroads, SJRRC intends to obtain local agency permits for construction of facilities that fall outside of the UPRR ROW even though SJRRC has not determined that such permits are legally necessary and such permits may not be required. Appendix H, Regional Plans and Local General Plans, provides a list of applicable goals, policies, and objectives from regional and local plans of the jurisdictions in which ACEforward improvements are proposed. Section 15125(d) of the CEQA Guidelines requires an EIR to discuss any inconsistencies between the proposed project and applicable general plans, specific plans, and regional plans. These plans were considered during the preparation of this analysis and were reviewed to assess whether ACEforward would be consistent 3 with the plans of relevant jurisdictions. ACEforward would be generally consistent with the applicable goals, policies, and objectives related to utilities and service systems identified in Appendix H Environmental Setting This section describes the environmental setting related to utilities and service systems by geographic segment for ACEforward improvements. The study area for direct impacts on utilities and service systems is the environmental footprint for near-term and longer-term improvements. Utilities and service systems within the environmental footprint could be affected by physical changes via structural development and/or infrastructure installation associated with ACEforward improvements. The study area for indirect impacts includes the service areas of utilities and service system providers that currently serve ACE and that would serve ACEforward. Information for the utilities and service systems setting was obtained from the following sources: Utility providers in the segment service area, Operating permits for utilities in the segment service area, and Communications with SJRRC s operational and maintenance staff at the ACE Maintenance Facility. This section begins with an overview of utilities and service system providers the study area, followed by a detailed description of existing water, wastewater, stormwater, and telecommunications utilities within each geographic segment. Descriptions of solid waste facilities are presented for the entire study area, because they are large operations that typically serve multiple municipalities Overview of Utilities and Service System Providers Utilities and service systems in the study area addressed in this analysis include water supply, wastewater, stormwater, telecommunications, and solid waste. Utility providers that would be 3 An inconsistency with regional or local plans is not necessarily considered a significant impact under CEQA, unless it is related to a physical impact on the environment that is significant in its own right

4 directly affected by ACEforward include providers that maintain utilities infrastructure, including water lines, irrigation canals, water supply canals, wastewater lines, storm drains, and telecommunications lines, within ACEforward improvement footprints. Solid waste facilities, including landfills and recycling centers, are large operations that would not be displaced or otherwise directly affected by the ACEforward improvements. Utility providers that would provide utility service to ACEforward improvements include water, wastewater, stormwater, and solid waste service providers, some of which currently serve ACE. Table identifies existing utilities that are located within the environmental footprint for ACEforward improvements and the agencies that own and operate them. Agencies that have not yet provided information on utilities within the study area are identified in the 15% preliminary engineering utility plans for ACEforward (Appendix D).

14 San Jose to Fremont Within the San Jose to Fremont segment, the study area includes the service areas of utilities providers that serve the cities of San Jose, Santa Clara, and Fremont. Water Within the portion of San Jose that would be located within the study area, potable water is delivered by the San Jose Municipal Water System and the San Jose Water Company. The San Jose Municipal Water System s water supply derives from a blend of Hetch Hetchy water and treated water from San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). This supply is supplemented by the Alameda Watershed in Alameda County and Santa Clara County (City of San Jose 2016e, Water Supply ). The majority of water provided by San Jose Water Company derives from groundwater sources. Groundwater sources are supplemented by imported, treated supply from the Santa Clara Valley Water District, and local surface water from the Santa Cruz Mountains (San Jose Water Company 2011). Potable water supply in Santa Clara derives from groundwater wells and imported water supplies from the Santa Clara Valley Water District and SFPUC s Hetch Hetchy System (City of Santa Clara 2016b) Fremont receives water from ACWD. ACWDs primary sources of water supply come from the Bay- Delta (via the State Water Project), the San Francisco Regional Water System, and local supplies, including groundwater (Alameda County Water District 2010). ACWD operates groundwater extraction facilities that divert surface water from Alameda Creek to percolation ponds in and around the Quarry Lakes Regional Recreation Area (within the Niles Cone Groundwater Basin) (Alameda County Water District 2016). The cities of San Jose, Santa Clara, and Fremont own and operate their own municipal wells and a distribution system that transports potable water to end users. Table summarizes water demand for the cities in the San Jose to Fremont segment.

As demand changes, water supply would be modified to accommodate demand to the extent feasible

15 Wastewater Table summarizes local wastewater treatment facilities for the cities of San Jose, Santa Clara, and Fremont. Each municipality operates wastewater infrastructure, typically consisting of pipelines, lift stations, and pump stations that convey municipal wastewater to treatment facilities. All the facilities listed in Table operate in conformance with the NPDES and Waste Discharge Requirements of the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (San Francisco Bay Water Board) (San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board 2014).

Each city is a permittee under the NPDES Phase I Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. Regulation of water quality through the NPDES program is discussed in more detail in Section 4.10, Hydrology and Water Quality. The cities of San Jose, Santa Clara, and Fremont operate their own municipal storm drain systems. Facilities typically consist of storm drain inlets and catchment facilities in developed areas, which drain to pipeline systems, pump stations, and detention basins. Stormwater that is not stored in detention basins is discharged into a local waterbody. San Jose, Santa Clara, and Fremont discharge stormwater to the San Francisco Bay (San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board 2015) Centerville/Niles/Sunol Portions of improvements within the Centerville/Niles/Sunol segment would be outside urban service areas, and because the improvements in these segments do not require utility service, the utility provider information is not provided

16 Centerville to Union City Within the Centerville to Union City segment, the study area includes the service areas of utilities providers that serve Union City. Water Union City receives water from ACWD. ACWD s primary sources of water supply come from the Bay- Delta (via the State Water Project), the San Francisco Regional Water System, and local supplies, including groundwater (Alameda County Water District 2010). Table summarizes water demand for Union City.

17 Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. Regulation of water quality through the NPDES program is discussed in more detail in Section 4.10, Hydrology and Water Quality. Union City operates its own municipal storm drain system. Facilities typically consist of storm drain inlets and catchment facilities in developed areas, which drain to pipeline systems, pump stations, and detention basins. Stormwater that is not stored in detention basins is discharged into a local waterbody. Union City discharges stormwater to the San Francisco Bay (San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board 2015) Tri-Valley Within the Tri-Valley segment, the study area includes the service areas of utilities providers that serve Livermore and Pleasanton. Although the proposed Greenville Road Station would be located outside the city limits of Livermore, it is assumed that, because of the proposed station s proximity to Livermore, the station would seek to connect to Livermore s utilities. Water Pleasanton obtains water from the Zone 7 Water Agency, which receives water from the State Water Project (South Bay Aqueduct), the Byron Bethany Irrigation District, the Del Valle Reservoir, and groundwater sources, and from City groundwater wells (City of Pleasanton 2010). The portion of Livermore that would be affected by ACEforward is within the service district of the California Water Service Company (Cal Water). The majority of potable water is delivered through the State Water Project (South Bay Aqueduct). Potable water is also purchased from the Byron Bethany Irrigation District and pumped from groundwater wells. Cal Water operates the distribution system that transports potable water to end users in its service area (California Water Service Company 2011a). Table summarizes water demand for the portion of Livermore within the Cal Water service area (including the Livermore Station) and Pleasanton.

Livermore operates wastewater infrastructure consisting of pipelines, lift stations, and pump stations that convey municipal wastewater to the Livermore Water Reclamation Plant operated and maintained by the City s Water Resources Division. The treated wastewater that is not recycled is

18 sent through the Livermore Amador Valley Water Management Agency (LAVWMA) pipeline for disposal in the San Francisco Bay (City of Livermore 2014). Pleasanton operates and maintains pipelines and lift stations that convey wastewater to the Dublin San Ramon Services District. Wastewater is treated at the Dublin San Ramon Services District wastewater treatment facility. The treated water is then discharged through the LAVWMA pipeline for disposal in the San Francisco Bay (City of Pleasanton 2016a). The facilities listed in Table operate in conformance with the NPDES and Waste Discharge Requirements of SFBRWQCB (San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board 2012a, 2012b).

The cities of Livermore and Pleasanton are permittees under the NPDES Phase I SFBRWQCB Municipal Regional Stormwater permit. Regulation of water quality through the NPDES program is discussed in more detail in Section 4.10, Hydrology and Water Quality. Livermore and Pleasanton operate their own municipal storm drain systems. Facilities typically consist of storm drain inlets and catchment facilities in developed areas, which drain to pipeline systems, pump stations, and detention basins. Stormwater that is not stored in detention basins is discharged into a local waterbody. Stormwater from Livermore and Pleasanton eventually drains to the San Francisco Bay (City of Livermore 2016a, San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board 2015) Altamont Improvements within the Altamont segment would be outside urban service areas, and because the improvements in these segments do not require utility service, the utility provider information is not provided

19 Tracy to Lathrop Within the Tracy to Lathrop segment, the study area includes the service areas of utilities providers that serve Tracy and Lathrop. Although the proposed West Tracy Station would be located outside Tracy, it is assumed that, because of the proposed station options proximity to Tracy, the station would seek to connect to Tracy s utilities. Water Potable water supply is derived primarily from groundwater sources. The cities of Tracy and Lathrop own and operate their own municipal wells and a distribution system that transports potable water to end users. The cities also receive surface water from the South County Water Supply Program s Nick C. DeGroot Water Treatment Plant, which treats water from South San Joaquin Irrigation District s (SSJID) Woodward Reservoir (South San Joaquin Irrigation District 2016).
