Project facilities would cross a known fault line, or be exposed to a seismic hazard that could otherwise not be protected from loss by design Hydrogeologic Factors 2 Operation of groundwater replenishment facilities (i.e., injection wells or spreading basin) adversely impacts existing fresh water aquifers, local water supplies or existing water users. a. Insufficient travel time (e.g., < 2 months) between groundwater replenishment point and other groundwater users. 3 Operation of groundwater replenishment facilities (i.e., injection wells or spreading basin) adversely impacts sensitive habitats such as marshlands, drainage areas, etc. a. Operation of facility adversely changes water quality of habitat (e.g., salt water habitat becomes fresh water). 4 Insufficient storage space a. Groundwater basin lacks adequate storage capacity to receive 10,000 AFY (or 11,400 AFY) at build-out b. Groundwater replenishment of IPR water causes loss of ability to adequately manage the groundwater basin (e.g., artesian or flooding conditions, loss of stored water, etc.) c. Groundwater replenishment of IPR water does not result in an increase in total basin yield and overall yield of 10,000 AFY (or 11,400 AFY). Oceanographic Factors 5 Sea level rise or tsunami hazard a. Oceanographic hazards make aspects of the project infrastructure vulnerable in a way that cannot be protected and/or would prevent the City from being able to receive funding or insurance for this concept Presence of Sensitive Habitats 6 Habitat creation PF PF PF PF PF PF PF (4) PF (4) PF (4) PF (4) PF PF PF (4) PF (4) PF (4) PF (4) PF (5) PF (5) PF (4) PF (4) PF (4) PF (4) PF* PF* PF (4) PF (4) PF (4) PF (4) PF PF PF (4) PF (4) PF (4) PF (4) PF* PF* PF PF PF PF PF PF a.

Thus, this initial screening criteria is not applicable. (5) Additional study will be required to locate groundwater replenishment wells at locations that will not adversely affect sensitive areas or other users. (6) Do standard regulations exist in the state of California currently to implement the alternative?
