BACKGROUND: The proposal is for construction of a 28 million gallon a ay wastewater treatment and reclamation facility on Etiwanda Avenue between 6th 'Street and the West Valley Detention Cet>ter (see Exhibit "A" Vicinity Map). The Chino Basin Municipal Water District (CBMWO) is the lead agency for this project and has prepared-a draft Environmental lmpact Report. Circulation of the draft EIR began on September 24, 1990 and the comment period is still open. (A copy of the draft EIR is enclosed in the Planning Commissioner's packets.) The notice of preparation of a draft EIR was circulated in September 1989. City staff identified four areas of concern: * Potential odor emissions from the plant. * Safety concerns for the population at the West Valley Detention Center. * Traffic impacts. * Aesthetic impacts. It. ANALYSIS: The purpose of this workshop; and public 'hearing is to provide an opportunity for additional public comment on the draft EIR. It is also a forum to provide a brief overview of ,the project. (See attached "Overview" provided by the Chino Basin Municipal Water District. Also see CBMWD "Project Summary" which is included in the Planning Commissioner's packets.) 1 PLANNING COMISSION STAFF REPORT EA; GR 89-00 6 CUP 90-16 - CBMWD November 28, 1990 Page 2 The daft EIR addresses the aforementioned City concerns, as,,.. °Oi1owS: Odor. CBMWD is addressing these concerns through project design an"n the processes which cause odors will be fully covered. Safety. The Rancho Cucamonga Fire District still has concerns regarding safety. C814WD is addressing these concerns by responding that tip, probability of an accident is extremely law. However, recognizing that the safety of the immobile prison population causes special concern, CBMWD will prepare a "Ris Management Prevention Plan" and a "Business Plan" which provides a plan of action should an accident occur. The Rancho Cucamonga Fire District suggests that an alarm system for the prison should be investigated. Traffic. The Engineering Division still has concerns regairding the cumulative traffic impacts of this facility. CBMWD has indicated that the plant at build-out will generate 120 trips a day. CBMWD will .complete additional traffic studies to address the cumulative impacts of traffic on Etiwanda Avenue as requested by the Engineering.Division. Aesthetics. The Planning Divis 5n has concerns regarding the aestfiet cs of the facility as viewed from surrounding property, Aft especially from Etiwanra Avenue. CBMWD has filed an application for a Conditional Use Permit in the City, is working with Planning staff to address aesthetic issues, and will proceed through the City's design review process. III. CONCLUSION: CBMWD is working with City staff, the Rancho ucamonga ire District and other responsible agencies to resolve the aforementioned concerns. For the Joint Workshop, CBMWD staff will present a brief overview _ of the project and its environmental impacts and be available to answer questions. The CBMWD will then conduct the public hearing. The purpose of the hearing is to receive public testimony on the draft EIR.

After six years of work and further. investigation, the proposed facility (known as Regional Plant No. f 4) is approaching final stages of design and will be ready to begin construction in mid-1.991. Throughout the RP-4 siting process, the project has been closely coordinated with the City of Rancho Cucamonga. city staff assisted the District in,the selection o a site for the future construction of the RP-4 facility. City involvement will continue with the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit for the facility. Through the combined efforts of the City and District, the RP-4 will result in an attractive facility which will generate high quality reclaimed water in a safe and odor-free manner From the District"s review of the comments received on the Draft EIR and from our discussions with City staff, the main areas of concern associated with the RP-4 facility include plant aesthetics, traffic, public health and safety and odor control. Each of these items have been addressed below. Plant Aestheetics To assist in defining what the RP-4 facility will look like, the District has prepared a rendering depicting the facility at project buildout. This rendering will be available for the Planning Commission at tonight's public hearing for the Draft EIR. The buildings at tboq RP-4 site which will be visible above the surrounding block wall are clustered along the northern portion of the site. These buildings, along with the block wall, will consist of split face masonrg concrete units. Two or more block types will be used to add visual interest. The color of the construction materials are anticipated to be earth tones with contrasting metal roofing and fascia materials. i 3 t Roofing material will include either a pitched metal roof for the operations building and metal fascia paneling along the roof line of the other buildings. The metal fascia will function to hide tha rooftop equipment on the flat roofed structures and will also function to insure architectural uniformity throughout the plant site. A more detailed architectural treatment of the main plant entrance and operations center on Sixth Street is also proposed for the project. The special treatment will include: the use of a brick patterned co^crete for the entrance drive and for the walkways and the picnic area plaza associated with the operations building. The incorporation of the picnic area plaza will add utility ,and function to enhance the architectural character of the operations centez. Landscaping will be utilized extensively throughout the interior and exterior of the plant site. The plant materials and. landscaping approach to be utilized are currently under revi by the city staff and will be finalized as part of the Conditiona. se Permit process. As shown on the artistic rendering, the landscaping will function AWA to buffer the larger structures from direct p+e';lic view. Tree fW plantings will be clustered at and along the intersection of Etiwanda Avenue and Sixth Street. 'trees will be planted along the southern and western perimeter walls to enhance the facility's appearance and to buffer the facility from the County Detention Center and the warehousing operation located to the immed•-ate west. Reclaimed effluent generated at the facility will be utilized for landscape irrigation purposes,. Traffic The Draft EIR identifies at buildout the project willgenerate a maximum of 120 daily trips ends per day. Based on the traffic analysis completed for the project, this additional traffic load will have an insignificant impact on Etiwanda Avenue and Sixth Street and is well within the carrying car, city of these transportation corridors. At the request of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, further traffic' analysis will be completed better defining the projects potential traffic impacts for the intersection of Sixth Street and Etiwanda Avenue. The updated analysis will be completed utilizing the City's recently completed traffic model and will incorporate the Aft potential traffic impacts associated with the City of Fontana's proposed Inland Empire Commerce Center. 2 The probability of odor being a significant problem at a properly ,naintainrd and operated treatment facility is to a large degree dependent on the characteristics of the incoming raw sewage. odorous compounds are normally formed in large wastewater collection systems where oxygen deficient conditions occur. The raw sewage collection associated with the RP-4 facility can be characterized as being relatively small in size. 3ecause of the small size of the collection system and the predominantly residential strarith characteristic of the sewage, it is unlikely that any significant oxygen deficient and ccasequently odor- generating conditions will occur As a precaution, and to insure nuisance free operation of the RP-4 facili° , the unit processes where the potential for odor generc.�ion exists will be fully enclosed. The air from the enclosed structures will be vented through scrubbing equipment, where any potential odorous compounds would be removed prior t%. being discharged to the atmosphere. Ask Public Health and Safety •the construction and operation of the RP-4 facility falls under the jurisdiction of a number of state and local regulatory agencies. Permitting requirements from these agencies, as well as the redundant safety features being designed into the facility will insure that the facility does not pose a public health hazard. Through the San Bernardino County Department of Environmental Health Services, file District will be required to prepare a Risk Management Prevention Program and a Business Plan address-ng the use, storage and handling of hazardous materials at the RP-4 facility. The Risk Management Prevention Program develops specific design features at the facility as well as operating, preventative maintenance and training programs to be undertaken by the District concerning chemicals which are classified as acutely hazardous. Chemicals to be utilized at the RP-4 facility which appear to meet this criteria ..nclude chlorine and sulfur dioxide. Depending on the form in whik:h the chemicalsare to be stored at the facility, the safety and andling requirements may vary significantly. if the chemicals are to be stored in liquid form, the storage building will be specifically designed to prevent any external chemical leakage. -Should a leak occur within the building, the structure will automatica7.1y seal itself off and any contaminated air will 3 undergo neutralization prior to venting to the atmospb,ere. Should AMIL the chemicals be stored in an aqueous solution, the safety systems Would be less complex in nature, but would necessitate more frequent chemical deliveries and modification of arxrenitly anticipated effluent discharge standards. Stata%agencicIwhich exercise control over the facility include the State Water t :ality and Air :Resources. These 'agencies, operating' through the S> nta Ana Regional Water Quality Control Boardand the South Coast Zi r Quality .Management District, are responsible for establishing '*&ter quality and air emission limits for the RP-4 facility. The reclaimed water generated and discharged from the facility will be of such quality to permit its reuse for unrestricted landscape irrigation, for body contact recreational impoundments and for the maintenance of the biological habitat associated with the Santa Ana. River. Pe_.ait limits established by the SCAQMD will require the use of Best Available Control Technology on air emission generating equipment at the facility. The use of this equipment will minimize! the air quality impacts associated with the operation of RP-4. r � 4 CITY OF RANCHO CTJCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: Noveoer 28, 1990 TO Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner BY: Steve Hayes, Associate Planner SUBJECT: RESOLUTION OF DENIAL FOR VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT 14630 LIQCOLN PROPERTY COMPANY - Resolutions for the denial i Vesting en a ive rac ;,,ap and design review for t`rz development of 328 condominium units on 20.15 acrr-s-�)f.

Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on November 14, 1990, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this ,omnission hereby specifically finds as follows: (a) The application applies to property located on the northeast corner of Milliken Avenue and Base Line Road on property zoned on the northerly half for Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre) and on the southerly half for Medium-High Residential (14-24 dwelling units per acre) and is currently undeveloped; (b) The property north of the subject site is zoned Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) and id developed with single family, detached residences. The property to the east is zoned Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) and is being developed with single family detached residences. The property to the west is zoned "Proposed City Park" and is currently vacant. The property to the south is zoned Neighborhood Commercial and is currently vacant, although approval has been granted for a shopping center; (c) The application contemplates the development of 328 condominium units, which the applicant has stated are interdcd to be rented as apartments for an undetermined length of time, at a density t.3f 16.3 dwelling units per acre. Further, the application contemplates redesignating, under the density flexibility provisions of the Victoria Community Plan, the northerly half of the site to Medium-High Residential to permit said density of 16.3 dwelling units per acre. (d) The application as proposed would be materially detrimental to the persons and properties in the immediate vicinity of the proposed site for the reasons as follows: (i) The proposed density of 16.3 dwelling units-, per acre conflicts with the City of Rancho Cucamonga's General Plan policy for the Medium Residential District (8-14 dwelling units per acre) to build at the lower end of the density range adjacent to low density residential areas as exist to the north and east of the subject site. To the contrary, the application proposes to redesignate the northerly half of the site, which adjoins low density single family residential areas, from Medium Residential to Medium-Nigh Residential (14-24 dwelling units per acre); (ii) The site plan arrangement does not sufficiently address a compatible transition of`vnit type and density from adjacent single family residential areas. The site plan as reflected in the application reflects all two-story buildings, ranging from 8 to 16 units per building, arranged in the stacked floor plan configuration associated with apartment housing type. Further, this housing type is inconsistent with General Plan policy to primarily build detached housing units in the Medium Residential classification; A r PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.

B. Issues: The primary issues related to locating; this use wit'fiin an automotive and Light trunk repair center are compatibility and parking. A`variety;of automotive and light truck repair businesses have located within the center - Precision Tune, Big 0 Tires and Performance Auto Care. To .date, no eating and drinking establishments have Jocated within the':center.' Staff anticipates no compatibility problems with the proposed use. fi Within the Industrial :Specific Plan, a donut shop,is defined as a fast food sales use. In :general, however, uses of this nature outside the industrial area with limited or no seating nave been'parked at the retail standard (1 space per. 250 square feet). The required amount of parking for a donut shop as a retail use;is 3 parking spaces:. As-a fast food sales use, it would require a total of 10 parking spaces. ' The total amount of parking spaces required (considering the donut'shop as fast food sales) for both current and.'future users in the center is 136 spaces. 'A total of 146 parking spaces have been provided. Therefore, staff anticipates,;o significant parking problems as adequate parking facilitias exist; for this proposed use and future users. C. Sheriff's Department and the Foothill Fire ` Protection 1 District,ct, Iioth the er 's epar-An and the Foothill Fire Protection District have been: matified of the proposed use.

I. BACKGROUND: The dillside Cocmmainity Church was originally approved by the Plannin, :omission on February 9, 1983 ' (Conditional Use Permit 02-29)' and expired 18 months later since building permits for Phase wer,2 not issued during :this time period. Three temporary mclular bui?dings x:re also approved under the original Conditional Use Permit, along with the construction of Parkiag _ Lot A. A fourth modular:building was approved under iUo 8848 in 1988. In addition,ra Variance was approved with the project which allowed for a 60-foot height limit on the sanctuary building.; The pre3ect was resubmitted in 1988 and ,given a new project number (Conditional Use Permit 88-10). The project as submitted in 1988 was identical to the origin+ally approved,project, however, it was modified through the design review process. .--,Modifications made during the design review process'included the following: the height: of the 'sanctuary was lowered from 50 to 15 feet and was significantly redesigned. (TW height reductionr eliminated the need for a variance.) the roof material was changed from copper-colored seamed metal to tile.

Time oExtension: an on•as Staff has amllyzed the proposed -time ar.pared the proposal with the current development crit ri;i out ined'In the Development Code. Based Upon this review, staff has determ,ined.that'the project meets the development criteria of the Veit'"!ow f;esidential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre).: In';addition, no significant change in the charaF;�er of the area that woe have uld cause the project to be inconststeet-',with its,-.Iurroundings ; However, since the project was, originally appraved, Tract 10414 to the west has been constructed. Neither the church nor the tract were originally approved with a perimeter wail along their coma;on boundary and staff has been contacted by an adjacent resident who feels that'a wall is necessary between the parking Tot aa&their side yard. A chain link fence has beery constructed by residents to the west, The Planning Commission may want to consider requiring a block wall along the western bnundary as an additional condition of approval. As the more intense land use, :he, church could be ist required to install the wall consent with Commission policy. C Conditional Use Permit 88-10 was approved on September 28, 1988 with a two-year time limit. The applicant , k' is requesting that the Conditional Use Permit be extended,ror an addi tt-Nal three years,' rati,zr than for one year as would generally be the ease With time extensions for Conditional Use Permits. The applicant feels G, as-' thouxh a three-year timc- period would be sufficient for them to complete Phase i of their master plan. The applicant feels as though they have completed a significant amount of street improvements including reconstruction of the Community Trail along Haven Avenue, removal of the northern mos+, driveway on Haven Avenue i and landscaping along Haven Avenue and Vista Gro _ Street which, they believe, -Warrants a longer time extension. However, the Development Code provides for granting extensions only in 12-month increments. Phase I includes the modular buildings 1 tr.s which are currently existing, ,the game fields in the southwestern portion. of the site, Parking Lot "A", and the Family Center buildfng- The i. game field area will also- serve as an additional '125 unpaved pip parking spaces when completed.

This modular is located upon the spot triat the lit"m anent iidr►inistration building will be constructed; hence, as a practical matter, it must be removed or relocated at that time.

These pto',ects have all contributed to our progrr.::.; toward the goal;; of our Master'Plan. I and Writing to request a 3 year extension to C.U.P. 08-10 and i,,odification to conditions 3 and 4 of C.U.P. 88-10, to al?sw the modular structures to remain for 3 years. Also, I am requesting a modification to condition number 5 of C.U.P. 89-38 to allow the modular buildings-to remain for 3 years. We are very encouraged by the c_,rowtx of ou=° Church these past years. we have steadily grown every year numerically, ' numbering around 400 ,currently_ 4B have every year grown financially, increasing our annual, income from $338,000 ' n 1987 to $550,000 in i989s; We have taken the necessary steps to provide for growth by 4dding additional meeting spate and additional: staff persons to provide leadership. Our goal is' to became a "lary'e: enough church to build the first phas'a of 6,2r Master Plan. we feel we will need to be around 700-800 members to accomplish that:. We are right on target to reach that iA 3-5 years. That is why we are requesting a 3 year extensioy on the use of our present modulars. We fully support the intent of the Planning Commission to limit the user of the Modular Buildings in our city; and it is absolutz'1y our intent to move as rapidily as possible towards constructing a pwrmanent facility as outlined in our Macter Plan, 3inoe we will not be in a rjosition`to build for,Ahree years, we would request an -xtension for that three year period.

And Milliken Avenue - APH 1077-091-36 Dear Mr. Ross: Central School District has received your letter of October 3, 1990 regarding the above referenced matter. In 1984, Central School District did enter into an agreement with Lewin Homes regarding school facilities for the Terra Vista Developaent. Tids agreement no Zonger provides appropriate mitigation whereby permanent necessary echools will be constructed for the Terra Vista community. Centr;+1 school District has no funds to build the needed schools and at this point, no funds from the state are available or can be assured. At the present time, Central School District has no concrete way to provide the permanent school facilities needed in the Terra yi:,-ta Community, , and the Jane Sth attempt to pass a.. general obll,-�-ation bond measure failed. Tha onlY stlldRrt houOng that ran be assured through the district's existing agreement with Lewis Homes are additional portable classrooms to be placed on the increasingly crowded Coyote Canyon School campus.

SnE LOCATION AND,ASSOCIATED LAND USE The p.roposed.RP-4 facility will be located,in the City of Rancho Cucamonga on the Southwest corner of Etiwnnda:`venue and�6th Street. The site is in an area that has bean changing from one that wag formerly`Wnicultural.in use to one that is general and. heavy industrial in nature. Adjacent land''%ses include the SCE Edwanda Generating Station to the north;a major 5-line powe��transmission corridor to the east beyond' which lies,the Kaiser Steel anti,Calif, Steel facilities and associated large slag dump,the County of Sawn Bernardino West Valley Detention Centex(under,construe tion)to the south;and sever a 7arge'industs��rehou�e facilities to the west. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed RP-4.project includes the conF'aucdon of a wastewater reclamation facility at the 32.5•,acre CBMWD siie and an outfall pipeline to discharge effluent from the facility. Figures l and 2 show the site Iayout. The main processes included at the reclamation facility are described.as follows. WASTEWATER RECLAMATION PROCESS DESCRIPTION Aeadworks Incoming wastewater initially enters the treatment facility at the headworks: The , beadworks facility includes coarse,,,creens and degritting equiprmnt, which provide preliminary treatment of the inmining wastewater. The screens and degritting facilities remove large solids Me rags, lumber, !;nd, and gravel from Vie flow to protect the pumps and downstream processes from pluggitig and abrasion.. The large solids will be dewatered and hauled offsite for disposal in a municipal landfill. Primary Clarifiers Primary clarification allow-- heavy solids to settle to the uottom of a tank and be removed as pilmary sludge. Light materials, such as grease particles float to the ' surface and are removed by skimming. The primary sludge will be thickened and removed prior to anaerobic digestion. Effluent will pass on—: sne biniogical.secondary treatment process. Primary clarification removes abput 65 percent of the suspended solids and 35 percent of the organic content[Biochemical Oxygen Demand(BOP)]of the incoming wastewater. The remaining suspended solids;content and BOD are reduced in the secondary treatment process. �K `If LA02774811WO 017.51 1 F J. A Aeration Basins The first stage of the secondary treatment process involves an activated sludge process which utilizes;,aerabic bactents(bacteria that must have oxygen to live) to absorb and assimuate the finely suspended and dissolved organic materials in th.,effluent fiom the p6mary clarifiers Artivated sludge is a mixture"of aerobic bacteria,partculate matter, and wAstewater 7,;activated sludge prou-sses,the aerebic'bacteria are suspended in a basin that is,twi tiolently mixed and-supplied oxygen by pumping compressed air into the basin P.t many locations. The,activated sludge is recycled sa brat the bacteria keep growing and feeding on the rrganic matter in the wastewater. ''Under correct operating conditions,some of the bacteria that grcw in tfe secondary trea=ent process are able to convert ammonia to,nitrite and nitrate,a process called nitrification. Denitrification will also Ix used to meet,current,Santa Anal Regional Water 2ualit,, Control.Board (SARWQCE)requirement,for a total inorganic nitrogen limit of ii)mgA . Secondary Clarifiers Secondary clarification further removes solids froze the aeration rasin effluent prior to . filtration., Some of the solid's will be recycled to die"activated sludge,aeratirn basins arid.the surplus solids(waste activated sludge)will be rei. 'v',d and tlilz'ker•,2d prior to anaerobic digesticu. Filtration Effluent from the secondary clarifiers will be passed through filters t6 reduced turbidity. ,A low turbidity number indicates very,clear water". Removal of ahnas2 all of the solids,as evidenced tgr a very low turbidity value,improves the pe,.rformance.of the' disinfection process,which is the next step in the treatment'process. The filters are comprised of beds of sand,or combinations of sand and otl-2r media;such as garnet or anthracite,through which the effluent passes by gravity.iiCoagulants,.,t,&be added to the eff Bent to improve;:the filter efficLzricy. Chlorination and'Dechlorination ` A 2-Lour chlorine contact time for final effluent,is required to meet the State Health Departmerr requirements of Title 22 for unr!stricted body co=rtact recreational'uses. Because there are chlorine-sensitive aquatic species in the receiving water bodies, surplus chlorine vifll be.removed by adding a sulfur 41axide salutwn,after disinfection'is completed and prior to discbarge for the u%l effluent. Other options,for disinfec non will also be considered. Effluent'Discharge Treated effluent would Se discharged from the r-oposed RP-4 plant via an outfall,•; pipeline. r,A02774Mrtzs6.,017sk 2 t Thickening Sludges from the primmy and secondary clarifiers arn;thickene4 to reduce the volua:e. of sludge treated in the an digesters. _Waste activated sludge will be chickened using a gra`nty be;i. thickener located in the solids:candling building. Primary sludge will be thickened by ffm ity in the primary sedimentation tasks. Anaerobic Digesters Four nev digesters(two during Phase,1 and two during Phase 2)w,ll'be added to treat the thickened primary and secondary sludges. T.:t; sludges will be anaerobically digested in heated and completely, mixed"digesters. In this process, baaeria�which function in the absence of oxygen (anaerobicallyl feed on`the..organic solr : 'and decompose them to form methane, carbon dioxide, water, and new cell structure as well ai:small concentrators of,)her materials. In this manner,the sludge.is stabilized, so that it can be mechanically handled with a-minimum of problems and odors. Slsrige Dewatering After anaeror-�e digestion the stabilized sludSp is &watered to reduce its volume and allow more effic ent hand.no prior to disposal or use-. The dewatering will be done by the belt presses located in the solids handling building. SIG-Ige Disposition Dewatered sludge will be removed by an independent contractor. Iio composting at RP-4 is anticipated.: The,,District's current residuals handling prngram involves contracting with a private firm for the removal of residuals it District facilities. The existing contract does not stipulate the method in which the contractor disposes of the residual. There are a number of.d*:?osaJ/reuse;options available to the Contractor. These options would generally include landfilling, compoi ting and reuse as a soil amendment; and direct land application as a soil amendnit mt. The contract requires the contractor to cornpost the residual in accordance with applicable state,federal,and local rules and regulations. Should landfilling occur, only landfills designated by the County's Solid Waste Management Depturiment cen be utilized for disposal purposes. Disposal at designated landfills is also reguiated by state and federal regulations. Odor Control The primary sources of odors:at a w-astewa.er reclamation facility are the readwo. and primary clarifiers where the raw sewage enters the plant:and the sludge treaLwint in the anaerolde digesters and solids handling building. At Regional Plant No.4 these odor resources will be contained in covered ianks nr are in buildings with the enclosed areas ventilated to mist-type odor control facilities. The odor control facilities cznsist of several towers where the ventilatioFi odors contact a t t.noMMMIA 017.51 3 r, .q y r G; fine chemical fog that absorbs and oxidizes the odors. The rust type wdor control systems have been used at many other wastewater treatment facilities and !lave'a history of effective odor control. Aesthcics� Regional Plant 114o.4 will melt the:City of Rancho Cucamonga, requirements for setbacks and height requirements and will have aestheticaily-pleasing buildings and landscaping. The preliminary building elevations are:shown in Figures 3,4,and 5,•end preliminary landscaping is shown in Figures-6 and 7.`Figure 8 is an arti.t's rendering of the:RP-4 Reclamation Facility. i - r.

COMM"EmkorAmdaw"t t SECTION 1,.0 INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY 1 i 1.1 Introduction The Chino Basin Municipal Water District (CBMWO) proposes to construct and operate.a`28 million gallons per day (mgd) capacity wastewater treatment plant, to be designated Regidnal Wastewater Reclamation Plant No. 4 or RP-4. Current planning anticipates that the project would be phased in four separate expansion increments as,follows: TOTAL ANTICIPATED -CAPACITY COMPLETION INCREMENT- (mad) DATE 1 7 1994 2 14 1998 3 21 2003' 4 28 2007 The RP-4 plant is required to meet the needs generated by planned population in the RP-4 service area through the. year 2020. The ` service area encompasses an approximate 35-square mile region including portions of the cities of Fontana and Rancho Cucamonga, as well as some presently .unincorporated territory. Total residential population at "build-out" (that is, when development of the service area is essentially complete) is projected at about 209,000 persons, resulting in, a wastewater flow of approximately 19 mgd.. With commercial and industrial uses, total ultimate wastewater flows From the service area are projected at approximately 25 mgd. If the cities of Fontana or Ranc`.:o Cucamonga, or the County of San Bernardino, significantly alter development plans for the service area or economic forces Change the predicted treatment needs, then I 88-41-385-01 1. Section 1.0; 1' convey"Enviranmml west T the project phasing may be altered by reducing or increasing the capacity increments as rsquired, or by shifting the timing of increment construction. The proposed plant would be located on a MS-acre site at the southwest corner of Etiwanda Avenue avi1 Sixth Street io the City of Rancho'Cucamonga.. The COMk'D is considering the expansion of the site by about 5.0 acresthrough a land exchange/land purchase with the county of San Bernardino, which would increase the total plant site to 32.5 acres. figure 1.1-1 shows an architectural rendering of the plant as it would be viewed from the adjacent street intersection. The plant site is situated within an area which has been changing from one of agricultural use (vineyards) to one that is general and heavy industrial in nature. Adjacent land uses include the.Southern California Edison Etiwanda Generating Station to the north; a major power transmission corridor to the Aast, beyond which lie the Kaiser Steel and California Steel facilities and associated large slag dump; the County of San Bernardino 'West Valley Detention Center (under construction) to the south; and several large industrial warehouse facilities to the west. Both liquids (wastewater) treatment And solids (sludge) handling facilities will be installed at the new plant. Tertiary treated effluent will be discharged to the Bear Creek Flood Control Channel. The effluent will meet the water quality objectives for all receiving waters and will be of suitable quality for water reclamation uses such as landscape irrigation and full body contact recreational impoundments. All dewatered sludges will be disposed of offsite; no sludge disposal facilities will be located at the plant site. A resource recovery system will be installed during the first increment to provide electrical energy for plant operations and thermal energy for sludge heating requirements. This system will employ a clean-burn engine generator utilizing digester gres as fuel, 88-41-385-01 S :B art 1.0c Convu"!"nv OMAN AWas2, s� e + 4� co m CO lz r f i T�s c,`•r,,. v-�`.�Y-`A m.',�t �n��'fM1a � UI a � r a qj,� g a _ 4 1 CL Cc LL r_ �,;�• .+7'vC'.• R s•%.; Fly ..

The designs for all aspects of the project are of adequate detail to allow environmental review. Among the alternatives considered as part of the environmental analysis included alternative sites for the RP-4 facility and the expansion and continued use of RP-1 for treatment of wastewater from the RP-4 service area. `t,ine of these alternatives available to the CBMWD was determined to be environmentally superior to the proposed project. 1.2 Summary of Environmental Impacts and Mitigations A summary of environmental impacts. and, -. tigation, measures is presented in Table 1.2-1. Only significant impacts prior to i mitigation are listed. The degmi of specificity of the impact assessment is consistent with information available at this time for the proposed project and alternatives (Cal€fornia Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, Section 15146). The proposed project will generate no significant adverse impact that cannot be avoided through project design or otherwise mi 'gated to a level of insignificance. 1.3 AOMP Conformity The proposed project has been demonstrated to be in compliance with Air Quality Management Plan Conformity Requirements as administered by the Southern California Association of Governments. Refer to section 2.2.3 for a discussion of project conformity. - 1.4 Areas of Controversy and Unresolved Issues I Section 15123 of The California Environmental Quality,_%t (CEQA) Guidelines requires that areas of controviersy and unresolved issues ` bi identified within the Sjmmary Section of the EIR.

The 27.S-acre (approximate) project site, owned by the CBMWD, is located within an area transitioning from - agriculturi4l to industrial usesl. adjacent land uses include the Southern California Edison (SCE);Etiwanda Generating Stati 'n to the north; a mahf;power transmission corridor to the east, beyond which lies the California Steel and Kaiser Steel facilities and associated large slag o0imp; the County of San Bernardino we,t Valley Detention Center (uni�,v' construction) to the south and several large industrial/viarshouse facilities to the west. The. West Valley Detention Center is designed to house 1,106 inmates at 100 percent capacity; the peak staffing level is estimated to be 170 persons within the facility. Total maximum population within;the - aciIity, therefore, would be 1,276' persons. 2.2 Puroose and Need CBMWD is responsi0e for provison of wastewater treatment facilities to serve residents in the western portion of San Bernardino County, including the cities of Rancho Cucamonga and Fontana. These communities are growing areas, with a number of approved and planned; residential, industrizI, and commercial.developments coming on line in the early 1990s. r =development will bring an increased need: for additional wastewater treatment capacity. The CBMWD commissioned a technical and economic feasibility study in 1984 to determine the viability of constructing a'wastewater reclamation facility to 'The MBAs considering the expansion of the RP-4 site to 32.5 acres through a land exchange with the County of San Bernardino to the south. i 1 - 88'-41-385-01 Section 2.0r1 Gomrerse envicowAntal Wsmt - C2 MOIMInU Y N> y, f m J IR L tco ,Y,y Jnr sna 2 r HW. a n� ,. lnrtw�a 14 e ^ems�rtiva t 111 3 r by 3 0 >r Jnr osawr °� t e3 4 � 00 O rb r rron �y F5 Q c yw.♦ m6 ' � w snot G• Y� t�Z uau.

The study concluded that the project merited development (Murk Engineers, Inc., March, 1984). In 1987, the CBMWD purchased the 28-acre land parcel in the lotyo Rancho Cucamonga for the future siting of a wastewater reel amatisn facility designated as CBMWD Regional Plant No. 4 (RP-4). The RP-4 plant will receive sewage from an existing City of Fontana/Cucamonga ' C County Water District (CCWD) Sointly-owned trunk sewer in'Et,iwanda Avenue, with the treated effluent being;discharged through an outfall line to the Cucamonga Creek/Deer Creek storm drainage system. The RP-4 service area is located entirely within San Bernardino County in the northeastern portion of the CBV1WD, and includes portions of the cities of Rancho Cucamonga and Fontana. The sewer service area for RP-4 covers an approximate.35-square mile (22,345 acres) area located generally north ,f'Foothill Boulevard. The area contain;portions of both the Cucamony�;County Water Otstrict (CCWD), which provides water and sewer service to the City of Rancho Cucamonga, and the City of Fontana sewer service areas. Within the : RP-4 service area, th^ MWO provides wastewater collection for approximately 7,640 acres, while the City of Fontana serves about 8,800 acres. 'the sewer service area boundaries are shown an Figure 2.2-I, 2.2,I hand Use and P-opulation Forecasts Land use within. the RP-4 service area is primarily residential, j however, some commercial and industrial land use is planned.

' Residential and non-residential sources of wastewater were considered separately. 2.2.2.1 Residential Flow_E ribution Wastewater flow projections for residential aources were determined by multiplying the population projections by a per papita,flaw value. A unit flow of 90 gallons per capita per day (gpcd) was used to estimate the residential wastewater flows. This Unit flaw rate compares with the information presented in the CCWD-and City of Fontana Master Plans (Camp Dresser & McKee, Inc., 1986 and Willdan Associates, 1982) in which estimates of 45 t 95 gped and 90 gpcd, respectively, were presented. . 2.2.2.2 RO Resic, ALa1 -Flow Contribution Unit flow factors for commercial and industrial properties vary depending on the type of commercial businesses or industries anticipated. For the CCWD portion_ of the service trea, a 2,000- gallon per acre per day' (gpad) unit flow was assumed for 'both the commercial and industrial properties. This factor is based on information presented in the CCWD Sewer System Master Plan (Camp Dresser &McKee, Inc., 1986) and is anticipated to be reasonable for the types of businesses and industries planned for the area. The 1982 Master Sewer Plan for the City of Fontana .(Willdan Associates, 1982), estimated a unit flow of 3,230 gallons-per day per acre (gpd/ac) for commercial properties and a unit flow of 262 gpd/ac for indr - properties.

A 10 percent increase in the estimated flows was assumed, which is considered reasonable given the level of refinement in the data from which the estimates i were generated. Therefore, the 28 m;v'ultimate average daily flow is considered appropriate as the basis for the design of RP-4,•based on the service area, densities, and land uses discussed earlier.

A Metropolitan Planning Organization, Southern California Association of Governments (SLAG) in the South Coast Air Basin, may not approve any project, program or plan which does not conform to the SIP. In March 1989, SCAG and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) adopted the Regional Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). The plan set forth a -program for attaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) in the South Coast.Air-Basin by the year 2007 (SCAG, 1990), The,wastewater treatment component of the 1989 AQMP Conformity Revlew Process involves two separate findings. The first finding or test involves a demonstration that the sizing and phasing of the facility is in accordance- with the population growth patterns developed in the SIP. The second finding involves a determination as 'to whether or not local agencies having land use authority within the treatment facilities service area have or are in the process of adopting a general plan air quality element which is 'consistent with the, applicable provisions of the AQMP. ;I 88-41-385-01 Section 2.0: 1 convme tcnvtrortmaitat West t' 2.2.3.2 Service Area Population Confo it In order to demonstrate the conformity of the proposed RP-4 facility to the SIP and the regional GF�awth management Plan ,(GMPj prepargo j by SCAG, a comparative analysis was made of the RP-4 service area population and housing unit count as shown in TaW 2.2-2 with that approved by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). Service area population and housing counts previously shown in Table 2.2-2 were developed for the residential "build-out" condition, expected to occur'approximately in the year 2020. SCAG projections however, terminate at the year. 2010. Furthermore, at their smallest division, the SCAG projections are available only by census tracts, which are not coterminous with the RP-4 service area boundaries (refer to Figure' 2.2-2). Therefore, ,in order to compare the two forecasts and ascertain conformity, certain allocations and extrapolations were necessaryr (a) SCAG projection by census tract were allocated to the RP-4 service area on the basis of geographic area and residential development'density Within the area. (b) SCAG projections were extrapolated to the year 2020 based upon forecasted growth from 1987 to 2010. M CBMWD projections at "build-out" (2020) were interpolated for the year 2010. Table 2.2-5 displays the derivation of the SCAG forecast for the RP-4. service area for"the years 2010 and 2020. Tables 2.2-6 and 2.2-7 compare SCAG forecasts with those of the CBMWD for the 30-year period to 2020. Figure 2.2-3 shows a graphical comparison for the period from 1995 to 2020. The population projections of the two entities vary by approximately 2.5 percent in 2010 and by approximately 10.4 percent in 2020, indicating conformity in this area. Housing projections vary by approximately 12.5 percent in 2010 and by 21.5 percent in 2020. ':In all instances, SCAG projections,are higher than those of the CBMWD.

Table 2.2-4 shows the CBMWD flow projections for the period 1990 to 2020 at 5-year increments. The SCAG population shown in Table 2.2-6 was converted to a wastewater flow estimate (at 90 gpcd) in Table 2.2-8. The commercial/industrial wastewater demand was added in order to arrive at the total projected wastewater flow. Figure 2.2-4 compares the flow projections of the CBMWD with those derived from SCAG forecasts. Superimposed upon both projections is the phased capacity increase to a total of 28 d fur ultimate RP-4 design capacity. m9 9For purposes of evaluation of Lonformity, the 28-mgd design capac,-V is designated as the "Capacity Increment" (SCAG, 1990). s Prior to the year 2003, a portion of the flow generated within the RP-4 service area in excess of the capacity available at the RP-4 facility will be diverted through the Etiwanda Interceptor and treated at the existing COMM Regional Plant No. I (RP-1) facility. in Ontario. After 2003, sufficient capacity should be available at RP-4 and diversion of RP-4 service area flows to the Etiwanda' Interceptor would no longer be required. The phased incremental increase in RP-4 capacity would begin in 1994 and conclude with the fourth phase in 2007. Aa'shown in Figure 2.2-4, the first three phases would serve to keep pace with the 1990-2006 demand increase within the service area. Phase 4 would occur after flow diversion to.

The CBMWD has Indicated that the timing of phased incremental increases in capacity may be altered in the event that: (1) the cities of, Rancho Cucamonga and/or Fontana exper;pnce' population growth other than that predicted, or (2) residential, conmercial,'or industrial treatment needs chango significantly, l Within the "Guidelines for Implementing the 1989 AQMP Conformity Procedures Related ito Wastewater Treatment" (SCAG, I990), the following procedure covers phasing of the Capacity Treatment: 5. The capacity increment . ,' . may be phased as' follows: a. If the capacityincrement is ICJ percent,or less of existing sewage flows, then the entire increment may be constructed without phasing. { b. If the capacity increment is greater than 10 percent of existing sewage Flows, then capacity increments shall 'oe phased so that' (1) approxi- mately 50 percent of the appropriate capacity increment, or (g) a capacity sufficient for a 10-year planning period, is constructed at the " initial phase of construction. However, a jurisdici;on_ may choose to construct less capacity." The RP-4 Capacity Increment, defined as 28-mad, is_areater.than 10 percent of existing flows and, therefore, falls within category 5.b above. That category permits either _ (1) an initial phase of up to-50 percent of the Capacity Increment (up to 14 mgd), or 112) a capacity sufficient for a 10-year planning period.' In the phasing planned for RP-4, the initial phase of 7 mgd represents capacity sufficient for approximately four years of demand growth (rOer to Figure,2.2-4). Similarly, Phase 2, consisting of 7 mgd-of added capacity, meets the demand needs of approxiuiatOy five years of growth. phase 3 is designed.to accommodate growth within. . 86-41-385,-01. Section, 2.0:J 21 conwrsc W&-A 5 the service area as well as the elimination of flow diversion -to RP-1. Phase 4 would meet',capacity needs through the end of the LCAG Planning Horizon (through 2010) and out to the y ear`2010. � Therefore, the planned RP-4 Capacity Increment of 28 mgd, as well Y as the four-phase plan ,,! achieve the Capacity Increment, meet the ;1 criteria set forth by SCAG in, "Test #1" of the Conformity Guidelines (SCAG, 1990). 2.2.3.4 General Plan Conformity; Land use authority within the RP-4 service area is currently the responsibility of the cities of Fontana and Rancho%,u amonga'and the County of San-Bernardino. At the present time, these agencies do not have an air quality element within their respective general plans which is e6nsistent with the provisions of 'file AQMP. It.should be noted,,bowever, that the County of San Bernardino is overseeing a combined effort of the agencies within the CBMWD to develop a model air quality element which will meet' he provisions of the AQMP. CBMWQ staf. regularly attends meetings of the Air Quality flement.yask Force to monitor progress. Correspondence from the agencies within the. RP-4 service area has been received (see f Appendix E), demonstrating their commitment to meet stye applicable provisions of the AQMP. The current schedule fof �he development. and adoption of the model air,quality element by the task force agencies is consistent with the, conformity review procedures ` established by the SCAQMD. II 8841-38541 Section 2.0: 22 Coma" 2.3 Proposed Project i The proposed RP•4 project consists of the construction of a 28 mgd reclamation facility and an outfail pipeline to discharge effluent from the Facility. I The main discharge point for the treated effluent would be the Deer Creek Channel, as ill,istrated in Figure 2.3--1. The alignment for _r the channel proceeds west from the eastern boundary of the plant j site for approximz:ely 1,200 feet, where it turns south, then I _ proceeds in that direction until it reaches 4th Street, At that location, it turns west, paralleling 4th Street. The discharge point would be located :approxima.:aly:3.5 miles west of Etiwanda Avenue,-where Deer Creek crosses 4th Street„ near Turner Avenue. An emergency discharge point would be provided at Day Creek in order to allow for periodic maintenance and repair of the Deer Creek Channel'by the San Bernardino County Flood nintrol District. 2.3.1 Proposed Prefect phsina, Construction of the proposed facility will be phased to accommodate increasing.wastewater flows within the service area. The projected increase in flows to the year 2020 is shown in Table 2.2-44 The project phasing plan calls :nor the construction of four expansion increments of 7 mgd each, for a total ditiviate plant capacity of 28 mgd. Although four, increments of constructic,i are planned at this time, the expansions would r,aly occur when required to accommodate flows from the projected "build-out" of the RP-4 service area. These increments are projected to occur as follows: • Increment 1, 7 mgd total capacity by 1994' o Increment 2, 14 mgd total capacity by 1998 • Increment 3, 21 mgd total capacity;by 2003 • Increment 4, 28 mgd total capacity by 2007 If the cities of Fontana or Rancho Cucanonga,`or the County. of San Bernardino, significantly alter development plans for the gervi.ce area or economic forces change the predicted treatment heeds, then 88-41 385-01 Section 2.0: 23 Ca ww"EnvtronmuM west co LL ''f^`� •�,, rli •� i` ;` b?

The facilities will meet discharge requirements of the California Administrative"Code, Title 22, Division 4, for.wastewater, reuse.. The discharge permit for the project is expected to,be very.similar to the discharge permit for the Carbon Canyon i(astewater'Reclamation Plant (WWRP) that is currently under construction for the CBMWD. The RP4 treatment process will produce an effluent of,satisfactory I Quality to comply with the water quality objectives of the Santa Ana " Regional Water Quality control Board's Basin Plan for the, SanIta Ana j region. The Basin Plan specifies water quality, objectives for the l regions various surface and groundwaters. The anticipated water quality of-the RP-4 effluent is summarized in Table<2.3-1.

After flow division, the raw sewage will flow by qravity through mechanical screening, a grit removal facility, and flow measurement equipment. l The mechanical screens function to remove rags, plastics, and other large s- pended. cr floating matter in the plant influent-. Removal of such matter greatly reduces the potential frjr damage-and clogging in downstream equipment. _ Front-cleaned climber screens were selected for use at RP-4. Two mechanically cleaned screens plus a standby manually cleaned bar screen will be installed in, the 'first phase, with a third mechanically cleaned scr=ien added for the ultime.e plant capacity. After screening, the;wastewater will pass through I6-foot diameter, vortex concentrator grit chamber units, where sand and other heavy solids will settle out. Three grit chamber Units will be installed for ultimate capacity, with one of these units being installed in i 88-41-385-01 Section 2.0: 29 Comm"EnvkonmeZfa{tiYest Phase 1.

RP-4, primary treatment will crr,tist of primary clarification, geatity thickening, and primary sludge pumping. The primary clarifiers will remove readily settled solids a;.d they will also separate floating material from the wastewater. After material 1 settles on the bottom of the clarifier, it will be removed as ' thickened primary sludge. I Because of the space limitations at the proposed plant site and the need to cover the primary clarifiers for odor control, rectangular primary clarifiers will be used at RP-4. At ultimate capacity, 'l there will be six clari€iers, .each with two 20-foot wide bays. for j Phase 1, two clarifiers will be provided. Each bay of the clarifier will contain chain- and flight-type scrag;�?- 'J mechanisms using mainly plastic materials; The clarifiers will be . equipped with 'helical scum wipers, V-notch fiberglass .weirs, and chain and flight cross collectors for moving thickened,sludge to the sledge hoppers. The clarifiers will be covered with concrete slabs with spring-loaded hatch covers over the sludge cross collectors, helical scum wipers, and weirs. Aluminum plate covers will be located at intervals across the width of the clarifiers for removal during major maintenance when Mj the clarifiers are taken our, of service. The covered clarifiers will be ventilated to the odor control facilities. Sludge from the primary clarifiers will be um ed'directl p P y to the •�� anaerobic digesters using air-operated diaphragm pumws. sludge hoppers for each pa-:. of::larifiers will be located to either side of the comm on wall dividing the clarifiers. Three pumps will be l located at each pair of sludge hoppers. One pump will be dedicated 1 to each clarifier, with one standby pump for each pair of clarifiers. 88-41-385-01 Section 2,0; SQ can,earsaa�vimn. wr�t i 2.3.2.3 Secondary Treatment Secondary treatment will be provided using .an activated sludge process consisting of aeration basins and aeration systems, secondary +� clarifiers, and pumps for Return Activated Sludge (RAS) and Waste Activated Sludge (IIAS). ' Each aeration basin will be divided ',Ito two distinct zones ."I anoxic zone and an-aerated zone. Nitrification will occur in the aerated zone, and denitrification will occur in the anoxic zone. The process is designed to provide operaLi'onpl flexibility, while meeting the anticipated discharge limits. 1,4elve aeration basins will be provided at ultimate capacity, with three being provided for . 9 Phase 1. At ultimate capacity, seven centrifugal blowers will be used for aeration, with thrz�blowers provided for Phased. A control system will be provided to allow the output of the blowers to be automatically adjusted to approximately match the oxygen demand in the aeration basins. Fine-bubble aeration systems will be used in the portions of the aeration basins- design for continuous aeration. Coarse: bubble diffusers will be placed in portions i4f the basins capable of being operated either in the aerated 'ir anoxic modes of operation. The K anoxic zones of the basins will be further equipped with submersible mechanical mixers. Round secondary clarifiers will be equipped with full-radius scum- skimmers, um skimmers, a horizontal baffle below the effluent weirs, and tapered duct-type rapid sludge removal mechanism. Six clarifiers will be provided for ultimate capacity, with three clarifiers being providdl for Phase 1:, Secondary scum will be pumped directly to the gravity belt;thickening system foi thickening. RAS_will be pumped from the-seconAary clarifier: do the aeration basin inlet channel. r 88-41-385-01 - Section 2.0: 31 CoElve i".;iYtron WW Wnt l t.3.2.4 Tertiary Treatment Tertiary treatment consists of effluent filtration and /dechlorination. Effluent from the secondary clarifiers will flow to the shallow-bed effluent filters. Filtration of the secondary effluent is required to meet the requirements of Title 22 of the California Administra- tive Code. Phase 1 will consist of three equally sized shallow-bed files. 4 Y filters. Two filters will be required to meet the hydraulic loading requirements, with the third filter acting as backup if one filter s is out of service. Ultimate capacity will require seven shallow bed filters. r In the final W11jent measurement flume, the secondary efluent will be dosed with chinrine solution prior to entering the chlorine F coittact chambar A`sinfection will occur during" two hours of ' detention (at peak dry weather flow) in the chlorine'contact basin. At the end of the basin, the flow will be dosed with sulfur dioxide to remove the chlorine ­nsidual before discharge to the outfall l i►ie. A building will be provided to house the�,;Iprine and sulfur dioxide feed and control equipment. The feed equipment will be housed in a separate control room, with the chlorine storage and sulfur dior.ide storage separated to either side of the building. The chlorine disinfectit— system will be sized to provide 25 mg/l of chla^ine solution for periods of peak disinfection. Dechlorination at peak periods will require tha ability to dose,at a rate of 12 mg/l. Additional chlorination capacity will be provided for chlorination of raw sewage ,at the plant headworks, chlorination of 'RAS and `\ chlorination ahead of the effluent filters. The chlorine ;,'` disinfection and dechlorinai:ipn will have complete stardby in case of failure of any operating unit(s). The chlorine disinfection will 88-41-385-01 Section 2.0. 32 Convwsas s' c be controlled by pacing signals from the effluent flowmeter ,nd the chlorine residual analyzer. The sulfur dioxide feed will be paced off a separate chlorine residual analyzer signal. 2.3.2.5 Sludge Handling Sludge handling will consist of gravity belt thickening of WAS, anaerobic digestion, and belt press dewatering of digested sluoge. Prior to digestion, sludge is thickened to reduce the volume of ' water, thereby allowing'a reduction in anaerobic digester sizing. SCids remov al by primary clarification will not undergo any additional thickening prior to anaerobic digestion. The WAS thickening facilities will consist of four gravity filter belts for the ultimate capacity, with two gravity belts provided during Phase 1. The gravity belts will be located on the second floor of the volids handling building. After _, ickenin+l, the waste activated and primary sludges will be pumped to"cylind ical ant-rohic digester: where decomposition -.l.d. stabilization of tU raw sludgrswill occur. During the decomposition process, methane gas will be produced ar�d usad for powering an engine-generator. Waste heat fr,;,- Op engine-generator, in tura, is used to heat the anaay._ -c digesV_is. Four 110-foot diameter digesters will be provided for ultimate capacity, with two 110-foot diameter digesters being prov�Aed for Phase 1. After being stabilized in 'che -anaerobic digesters, the digested sludge wil l be pumped to the belt press sludge dewatering facilities prior to being hauled away by a private contractor. During Phase 1, two brit presses will ,be required, with a total of four being required at ultimate capacity. The belt presses will be located on the second floor of the solids handling building. Solids disposal is accomplished by,periodically loading the sludge into covered truciR, for transporta'J or to a disposal facility. The 88-41-385-0I Section 2.0: 53 r%intity of sludge generated by the 28 mgd plant would require approximately two trucks each day-$ which would travel to and from the facility on Etiwanda Avenue from the south. CBMWO h1s historically disposed of sludge through various contpactors who,have hauled the District's sludges to landfills and/or composting oper-ei:i»ns. There are a number of disposal options which can be used, including: Codisposal landfill with munic peel. aolid waste Monofill: landfilling in sludge-only landfills • Xnnineration `. • Land, application: to agricultural or nonagricultural land (listribution and marketing (composting) • tu-composting with dairy waste While the actual disposal sites and methods have changed from time to time in the past; AM likely will .continue to'do so ix is reasonable to assume that RP-4 sludges may be disposed of at landfill or land application sites in either or both of the.couaties rr San Ber.,ardino_and Riverside; anent sludge disposal pk;actices fur the CBMWO RF•l,znd RP-2 facilities ipclude a short term arrangement faith a disposal firr vft transports sludge to the El Sobrante-area of Riverside County, i The CSIND is currently attempting to develop tw) 1- ng-term sludge disposal options. The District re,:ently entered into a^ontractual arrangement with the firm of N-Virosoil. The agr-enent calls 'or that firm to mix the sludge with PM dust, which stabilizes the material. Under this process, pathogens are destroyed, the sludge is dewatered and deodorized, and the resulting material is transp rted to a landfill for disposal nr use as a finish cap on the; landfill itself. 'Implemesitation of ti'rA agr€emaiit is contingent upon i' N-ViroseiI ti?iny successful in obtsiTing necessary, air quality permits and County apprr,14. for disposal operations 0. landfills. 88-41-385-01 5ectien 2.0: 34 A second sTuege i)sposal option under development by the CBMWD is co-compostir.i with dairy wa7te, a beneficial re-use of sludge. The District has purchased land within an `agricultural preserve in San Be0ardine County for the purpose of developing this altePnative. Sludge, disposal practices to be utiliLed for sludge generated at RP-4 may take the form of any or all of the above methods. The sludge practices'util.ized by the ,CBh1WD are subject to existing federal and state regulations (see Section 2.4.3). CBMWD will comply with these and any other regulations adopted by EPA and responsible state agencies. The final disposal options)".availe:+le for the RP-4' project, howevoi, have not yet been selected and are not a part of this EIR. All nature sludge disposal options and faciTitiea for RP-4 will be subject to a separate environmental review process. 2.3.2.6 Digester Gas Utilization Digester gas is an unavoidable by-Product of the apaerobic,digestion process. The proposed project. would utilize that gas for cogeneration, producing both eleef ;y and adequate'(,2at to sustain the digestion process. A 1,16F'` tt (kw)'claan burn, gas-fueled engine-generator would meet the digester seating and partial _�gwer f preduction requirements at RP-4 and meet the air quality criteria of the South Coast Air Quality Wanagement District (SCAQMD). The basic; SCAQ'•!D requirznants related to the engine-generaRtor for the RP-4 phd e? are contai:,ed in the SCAQMD Rules and Regulations finder the various sections of Regulation XIII.

Accordingly, t.,e wi-.r saurc5s of odor- will be covered, and tare contained air will he treated before release to the atmosphere. Particular areas to be covered and ve,rtilated to odor control equipment are the plant headworks channels and "he headwoks building, the primary clarifiers, the 'recycle'flow equalization basin, and the solids 'handling building. Digesters will be equipped with fixed concrete covers rather than floating covers to eliminate odors from the sludge around the edge of the covers, Facilities will be provided for adding firs_arts tL the digesters to reduce hydrogen sulfide in the digester gas. 2.3.2.8 dater system Potable water wili`be provided foci domestic use, laboratory use, polymer mat,eup, and chi: ,e evaporatvs. A reduced pressure back- flow prprention devic,c will be Wised to con►iect the CCWD water supply to the plant.

On February 6, 1989,1 Ue EPA proposed a rule for "Standards for the Disposal of Sewage Sludge" J'54 1?-3746). . While it is otill in the proposal stage, it can, be =n A cipated that such a rule will eventually be instituted. _je rule will be enforced through the 11NDES permit program and become a part of the waste discharge requirements (WDR) set by SARWVC8. The proposed rule regulates various s disposal methods including::- oil incineration land application to agricultural lands 1-nd application t-S M :gricu.tural lands disposal in monofi[ls • composting The codisposal in municipal solid waste landfills- is covered by another proposed' rttl —i4ich was ;published on August 30,� 1988 (53 FR 33315). This'proposed rule would be co-promulgated under the i 6: 98-41-365-01 Section 2.0: 44 Goner Enyk no!M Wed tiw ' ,it'hority of revisions to the 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments, to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and section 405 of the Clean Water Act, Composting Is the method of dispnsal favored by EPA because it involves recycling a valuable resource (sludge) for use as a soil amendment,. Moreover, composting is a process that further reduces pathogens. The EPA will impose strict limitation on the concentration of va;ic,,s pollutants that will be allowed in the sludge if the sludge is to be used for composting. The ,method by which toxic,p .Mutants are prev�,nted form enteri,,g the treatment pl"ant, r<nd thus contaminating Uie, sludge, are described in EPA's National Pretreatment Program. This program, codified in 40 CFR 403, was authorized by section 307(b) of the Clean Water Act. The Cretreatment program requires certain categories of industry to remove pollutants above certain levels from the industrial wast. aatpr prior to discharge to the municipal sewer system. As it exists today, this program is i designed primarily to protect the treatment system from shock loads of toxic materials that could upset treatment plant operations and to-prevent contamination of municipal sludges so that they can safely be disposed and/or recycled (composted). As provided by the Clean Water Act, enforcement of the pretreatment {' program has historically been et the municipal level. The City-of Fontana and the Cucamonga County Water District currently administer their own pretreatment program. However, on September 22, 1989, the EPA also granted the State of California authority to administer the National Pretreatment Program as it applies to municipalities and industries within tre State (54 FR 190,_ Section 40664). While ultimate administrative authority for the State's pretreatment program rests with the SWRCB and its Regional Boards "(the,regulatory authority in California), the EPA ruling reiterates thA,t "local pretreatment programs will be the primary vehicle for adminisi,cV4ng applying, :,nd enforcing California's pretrs.�tment requirements". 88-41-385-01 Section_9.0: 45 ComrOr�Eaivf�onina w.�+�/0�3 _. In addition to composting, landfilling of sludges may also occur from time to time. Codisposal of municipal sludge with municipal solid waste will be regulated under the proposed rule "Solid Waste Disposal Facility Criteria" which will be codified ilh 40 CFR 258, The proposed rule sets strict standards of compliance for landfills to assur>. the protseti'on of human health and the environment. 2.4.3.2 State 5-Qulations State regulation of sewage sludge disposal for the proposed project is primarily the responsibility of SARWQCB and. tt a lesser degree, DNS. land disposal activities regulated ay SARWQCR iticl��2-�-.disposal in landfills along with municipal solid waste, sludge-only landfills; and composting operations. Also, DNS oversees the distribution a*d qr' r marketing asrects of sludge recycling. Table t.4-4 summarizes slu",; { disposal limitations. { 2.4.4 Noise Noise is regulated at the federal, state, and local levels by various agencies through legislative action tYnd policies~. Regulatory leadership on noise and tis control is provided at the federal level by four separate agencies including Ue Environmental Protection v Agency (EP4), the Occupational Safety and HealtV Administration (OSHA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) .and the Federal Highway Administration (FIVA). Earh of 'hese agencies has promulgated its own regulations or p.oticies aim,@d at protecting the public from tho harmful effects of excass noisfl.

The irasic unit of so.ind measurement; is the sound pressure level. The ratio of a, given sound to 4he faintest sound detect;,ble by an acute tistepgr is used to create the decibel (dB) scale which allows for comparisons of sounds differing in loudness by, factors of a million or more through an easily manageable logarithmic descriptor similar to the Richter Scale used . for earthquake intensity. Because the human ear does not'respand equally to sounds of all frequencies, m'll.ti-spectral noise is weighted more heavily in frequencies of greatest human sensitivity to gauge true auditory response in a process called A-weighting. A-weighted sound pressure'levels are the standard representation in California for plhnning purposes, and are reported as dB(A). Since cumulative noise exposure is the result of a number of isolated noise events, several additional descriptors of the.oise environment have been developed to desctiba, ambient noisei�,, Statistical descriptions can be used to ind gate the.noise,level that is exceeded over some percent of each K�1vr, bvt a more common approach for planning purposes is the ener�1 egOtvalent noise level (Leq). Leq is the steady-state noise laxal that has the same integrated acoustical energy content as a time-varying event. Differences in the perception of noise intrusion as a function of time of day and personal activity level have been incorporated into community noise characterization by applying an artificial penalty to noise levels during evening and nighttime quiet hour.;. The reSUlting noise characterization is variousiy called the tommunity Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) or the Day-Night Level (DWL or Ldn) which are measures of the 24-hour cumulative noise exposure level at a given location. Communities within the State of California are required, by law, to use the CNEL characterization for land use planning purposes, while federal agencies participating in land use development typically use the DNL descriptor. Because Chi;L or DNL are 24-hour weighted . averages, they are particularly well suited for evaluating roa6ay noise impacts because'thc traffic noise sources are active around the clock. 88-41-38541 Section 2.0: 4$ Col &SO Env.Mnmenw West State law-(Title 25 of the Administrative Code);'requirps that indoor noise levels in habitable rooms cf multi-family dwelling units'be. limited to a 45 dB(A),CNEL.

The Noite:Jtvilenv'of the San Bernardi:► Cquntq General Plan has established noise quality standards for land use'`categories consistent with this sensitivity` criterion. 'The:Noise"O emant categorizes various land use classes in terms of noise sensitivity-,ranging+ from rural residential to industrial. The noise standard to be (.met for each land use is established as a baseline level with some allowable excursions above the baseline. The higher the-excursion, the .shorter the time period over which such deviations are considered acceptable. Within the' project.vicinity,,'�,As are either industrial or agricultural. There ,.. are, therefore, no current uses of enhanced noise sensitivity.. However, if the detention center is built as proposed, then site s> activity noise could create sleep disturbance within ,:community' i. where such.di.sturbance could-lead to irritabil'i'ty and interpersonal +" conflict.

Although "jails" are not a listed land use with an identified noise standard ,in the County Noise Element, "dormitories" are defined as a noise-sensitive receiver - site. The noise 'standard for dormitories is 50 dB(A) by day and 45 dB(A) from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. 88 41-585-01.

Sufficient information for other environmental A ssue areas was already available to determine JJ that the proposed project would not have 'significant impacts.. Information is provided below on these issue areas, which include biological resources, land use,,population, housing, and recr?ation. In addition, portions of-the cultural resources issue area were likewise determined to be without significant impact. 2.5.1 Biological kesourcgs A field reconnaissance of the proposed project site was conducted. by Converse Environmental West. The proposed project site was found to be entirely devoid of undisturbed native vegetation, although it is presently being utilised to grow grapes. The vineyard, however, appears to be an advanced rate of deterioration: ' The proposed project would result in tL, 'elimination of this 'vineyard from production. In addition, the recorolalssance by 'Converse revealed that no significant animal life exists at the project site because of,the lack of vegetation, No sensitive species were observed or are known to exist in the project area. Furtherm;),re,, because the ;plant's effluent will meet the Santu Ana River Basin Plan water quality objectives for all receiving waters, there will be no significant impact to'aquatic species or other wiTdlife. Finally, in connection with the recent EIR far the adjacent West Valley Detention Center (WVOC) - (Converse Environmental Consultants California, 1988) the firm of Tierra Madre Consultants, Inc., was, commissioned in 1987 to conduct a complete biotic investigation of that 120-acre site. The study revealed that there existed no sensitive, threatened, or endangered species on that site, Which could be.impacted'by the WVSC project. '1 88-41-M-01 .'FSoction 2.0; 50'\`!

A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) will be obtained from the city for the construction and operation"sf the;prVposed RP-4 facility, although such a permit is not,required if the Board of Directors of the COW declares the project exempt. The project would be consistent witf. the industrial character planned for that area of Rancho` Cucamonga and would, therefore, not signtficantly. iwip'act plamitA land use as defined in the Specific plan. 2.5.3 Population As determined in tt'l Yn'.tial Study, the proposed project with,its phased expansion is designed to accommodate existing planned growth in the service area and therefore will not be a growth-inducing project. The' project has been demonstrated to t'� in conformance with SCAG population projections as presented in their Growth Fianagement Plan. Refer to Section 2.2.3 for a discussion of project conformity, 2.5.4 ousi As determined in the Initial Study, the proposed project is not anticipated to affect tha.area's housing demand because }he plant could em!loy a projected maxim-im of only 26 workers at its ultimate capacity of 28 mgd. Also, construction workers will be-obtained from the local construction labor pool and no importation of workers would be required which might generate housing demand. 2.5.5 ecre 21JUM The pi'01,osed project will not adversely impact recreation because i no recreational area will be lost or adversely altered.

In general, the province is. comprised of individual mountain ranges with intervening valleys and fault systems. The project site is located in the Chino Basin of the upper Santa Ana Valley. The surface of 14he Chino Basin consists of a broad, relatively smooth alluvial plain that descends from the San Gabriel Mountains at the noth, to the Santa Ana River at the south. The Chino Basii contains alluvial debris derived from the San Gabriel Mountains, which lie about 6 miles to the north. of the site. Granitic and metamorphic 15edrock similar to that exposed in the San Gabriel Mountains=is-Pustulated to underlay the clastic debris of the Chino Basin at depth (Fife,;et al., 1976): The general geology of the region is shown on the Regional Geologic Map, Figure 3.1-1. { I 3.1.1.2 Soils The United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, indicates the soil in the site area as belonging to the Tujunga-Delhi Soil association.

Grading operations associated with constr`u,:tion of the project will also result in disruptions, displacement, compaction and uncovering of the soil, The degree of these alterations will depend on the final design of the proposed facility. Such changes or alternatives can be kept to a minimum and mitigated through proper design of a grading plan by a registered Civil Engineer in the State of California. The grading plan shall incorporate the findings of a site-specific: geotechnical investigation cnnducted by a licensed Geotechnical Engineer in the State of California. No significant impacts are anticipated. The project site is located within the Dust Control Zone of the West End Resnurce Conservation District. Using standard erosion control practices during site development, construction of the proposed facility will not result in increased water erosion of soils either on- or off-site. The project area does not contain the channel of a river, stream, ;,ay, inlet or lake. Accordingly, changes in the deposition, erosion or siltation of such features, either on- or, off-site, will not rasult from construction of the proposed facility~ The two drainage ' swales that traverse the site have been e sentialiy abandoned to runoff (both on- and off-site) due to development north and south of the project. 3.1.3 Mitigation Neasurgs To mitigate potential impacts associated with project grading, the following measures are recommended Preparation of a grading plan incorporating site-specific geotechnical investigation.

The average' annual rainfall in the area is approximately 16, ,inches (U.S. Geological Survey, 1969). Surface runoff from the Santa ulna watershed generally flows in Z-southerly direction from,the mountain canyons onto the alluvial plain, and is eventually detained within the Prado Flood Control Basin,approximately 16 miles southwest of the stcly area (near the City of Coron.? in Riverside County). The principal Water courses near the project site are the San Sevaine and Day Cheek channels which ultimately dischdrye to.the Santa Ana River. Sources of surface water within the project area consist of rain water and sheetflow runoff from areas to the north.. According to the County of San Bernardino Department of Flood Control, the subject property is situated within the East Etiwanda Creek`overflrw area. Raring periods of heavy' precipitation, approximately 8 cubic feet per second of surface runoff discharges into the East Etiwa n a Creek Channel at Foothill Boulevard and East Street (Neeb, , 1988), proximately 2 miles northeast of the subject site. As shown on Figure 3.2-1, Flood Insurance Bate Map, the south easternmost corner of the site is within an area identified as 'a special flood hazard zone (Zone A on Figure 3.2-1) subject to inur.iation by the 100-year flood for East Etiwanda Creek. TE:e eastern margin of the project adjacent to Etiwanda Avenu,: is shown to be in the 500-year flood'boundasy, Zone B, for East Etiwanda Creek. Zone B is an area between the limits of the, 100-yea. flood' and the 500-year flood, or certain areas subject to 100-year flooding .' with average depths of less than 1 foot, or whera the contributing ` drainage area is less than I square mile, or areas. ;otected by levees from the base flood. 88-41-385-0 Section 3.0s 11 dotW,am EnvSmmnen°.aa Wed J rJ 4✓�'� "' !f kh Cb eOQ3"'� � 3 T d Z- o N N ... ¢ • V S2 4 �!

A corrugated metal pipe (CHP) culvert underlies thhe- intersection of Fourth Street and Etiwanda Avenue from the northeast to southwest corners. The culvert, which carries runoff within the East Etiwanda Creek Channel, is evidently undersized and becomes clogged with debris during periods of heavy precipitation, and surface waters are essentially impounded to the north and overflow the channel. At the pr=sent time, 'plans, to improve the drainage at the intersection of Fourth Street and Etiwanda Avenue have not been finalized by the county and city agencies, although the City of Rancho Cucamonga is developing a Plaster Drainage Plana for this area. The Master Alan will call for a 54- O storm sewer on Sixth Street and a 72- to 78-inch storm sewer on Etiwanda Avenue. The city has indicated that the storm drain must be constructed on Sixth Street and on Etiwanda Avenue from Sixth Street to the channel south of Fourth Street '(CHWill, 1989). Until such improvements are i implemented, flooding of the areas adjacent to the intersection of Fourth Street and.Etivanda Avenue should be anticipated during the 100-year flood.'-Base flood elevations are shows on Figure 3.2-1. The San ,Bernardino County Flood Control district (St;FCD) hasas developed a comprehenr.ive storm drain plan for this portion of the county which includes continued improvements� to the East Etiwanda Creek. lmp;ovements to the East Etiwanda Creek in San Bernardino County;have reached south to about 'Whittram Avenue. The East Etiwanda Creek system is expected to be completed within ten years (Neeb, 1988)., urface Water Quality The main discharge point for treated effluent from the proposed facility will be to the titer Creek Channel at Fourth Street. Deer Creek Channel in.turn discharges to the`Cucamonga Creek Channel,south of its confluence with Fourth Street. The Deer Creek Channel is 88-41-385-01 Section 3.0: 13 Co AMA ErIV{f&BRIfd719 blast improved (concrete-lined) between Fourth Street and f�.,e Cucamonga Chan.,ei. The Cucamonga Channel is improved and lined for the entire length until its southern.confluence with !-till Creek at the Pr4do Flood Control Basin. The current Water Quality Coatrel Plan for the Santa,Ana River Basin defines the beneficial 'uses and ;pater quality objectives of the surface waters in the project area. These objectives, shown on Table 2.4-2, take into account the defined beneficial uses, -existing`,;ater quality, basin-wide objectives,'and other factors. ThEre currently are no data avaiIable_ on water quality itf'the Deer Creek, Cucamonga and Day Creek flaod Control channels. Because f.low in these channels occurs primarily during wet weather, the water. quality of' the channels is dictated by the quality of runoff frois an the surrounding drainage area. During periods of no runoff, the water quality of`the channel will be controlled primarily by the quality as the proposed facility discharges. 3.2.1.2 Groundwater The project site is located in the north-central portion of the Chino Groundwater basin. The groundwater I in the basin is the,primary. source of water for drinking, agricultural, and industrial use in an area with a population of approximately 500,006. Tatal water use within the geographical bounds of the basin for the water year 1987 1988 was 268,577' acre-feet. 'Of that total, 1'a1,4G2 acre-feet (8790) were pumped from the basin and 116,175 acre-feet (43%) of water were imported, primarily from the Metropolitan Water 'District (CBMWD, 19$9j. The Chino Basin is divided into three major sub-hasint by SARWQCB: Chino Ground Water Sub-basins I, II and 111. These sub-basins, shoran on Figure 3.2-2, have been designated primarily for,the purpose of monitoring and maintaining Water qualify standards for surface water and groundwater in the area.

Groundwater in the Chino Basin occurs primarily under unconfined conditions. Sand and gravel deposits of the Pleistocene to recent basin alluvium comprise the predominate area`gr=4'ater aquifers. Movement of groundwater ,in_ the-basin. generally occurs in a south/southwesterly direction (Dutcher and Garrett, 1963) from the foothills of Chino Sub-basin I, into Chino Sub-basin I, and finally into Chino Sub-basin III. The general groundwater gradient An the project area is about 10 to 14 f,iet per mile (Montgomery Consulting Engineers, 1986). Depth to groundwater in the study area through 1960 is indicted'as approximate'�y 450 feet below ground surface (Fife, et al.), and varies seasonally according to the amount of nat_'r�A and artificial recharge and the relative rates of pumping in the aria. Recent si;O.Wj:a,by t76ntgomery Consulting Engineers (1986) indicted depth to groundwater at the Kaiser'.Steel property (adjacent to the east side of Etiwanda,A nue, south'of Sixth Street and north of Fourth =Street),, as ranging from 400vfieet below ground surface at'the north limits of1.the property to 300 feet along the southern limits of the.property. Groundwater Ouality The study area located in the north-central part of the Chino 9asin overlies the Chino I sub-basin (Figure 3.2-2). The Deer Creek and Cucamonga channels, which .are'the proposed main discharge paths for the;facility treated effluent, traverse primarily Chino suh-basin II (o, relatively small portion of Deer Creek Channel traverses.Chino sub-basin I). The fay Creek channel will be utilized-as a short=term alternative discharge point during periodic maintenance and repair,.,of the Deer Creek channel by the San Bernardino County Flood Control District: Day Creek channel traverses Chino sub-basins F and II. 88="85-01 - Section 3,0: I5 Convaraa i nvlron wag i Accordingl; ; the Chino I and II sub-basins are of concern for this project. The current Water Quality Control Plan for the Santa Ana River Basin the the beneficial uses and water quality objectives. of the Chino I and'II groundwater ;b-bins (Table 3.2-1). These 1 objectives take into account the defined beneficial uses, existing groundwater quality, basin-wide objectives, ,ind, other factors. The boundaries for the Chino sub-basins roughly represent boundaries for groundwater quality differences between the rub-basing,. Groundwater quality in the Chino Basin tends to decrease toward the south. This trend is evident in the Chino 1'and II water,quality presented in Table 3.2-1. The quality of groundwater in the stv%ry area is considered to be good to excellent. The average dissolved'sJ t content-of groundwater pumped from the Chino II sub-basin is reported as approximately ` 330 mg/l . (SARWQCB, Y: "). This number is an indicator of the relative concentration of dissolved ni_nerals in the groundwater and generally indicates a ,water of good quality. One.of the principal groundwater problems in the Chino Basin is high concentrations.of nitrate-nitrogen,, Along;with dissolved solids, nitrate-nitrogen; levels are considered to be indicative of groundwater degradation or pollution.. The limit recommended by EPA for nitrate-nitrogen in public water- supplies is 10 mg/l (45 mg/l, as nitrate). The groundwater quality in the area of the project has declined in terms of nitrates since about 1960, The primary sources of nitrates in the Chino Basin include the use of fertilizer for agriculture, rainfall infiltration in dairy feed lot rteas, and effluent from wastewater treatment plants (Harmsworth Associates, 1989). 3.2.2 Project Impacts Potential project impacts to water resources are: e surface water impacts, including increased or altered drainage' patterns caused by tha project, and aquatic growth 88-41-385.01 Section 3.0. 17 Conva n FnVdenmwW West rtit TABLE 3.2-1 SUMHAAY OF BENEFICIAL USES P.JD VATER QUALITY OBJECTIVES FOR THE CHINO I AND'EI$ROUNDVATER SUB-BASINS, a UAT R OUALITY OBJECTIVES r Objective _BEEFICIAL USESinst�Taeni' !ma/11 01no 16roundaat,g Su - asin Municipal and;.daciesti6 supply Totai filterable residue 220 • A4,cultural�supp?r"' Hairiness 170 Industrial'0rocess supply Sodiun 15 1pdust-rial satYiee supper Chloride 15 Nitrate.as Nitrogen 5 Sulfate 20 Chlit;_jj.Sr�Wndwater Sub-B.".t51 - s • �4unfcir' l'a domestic supply` Total filterable residue 33b Ag.?:ultural supply n_Hardness ­165 Industrial process supply 5 iJwftm 18 Industrial service supply if Chloride 18 Nitrate as nitrogaly , 6 Sulfate 20 Source: SARVQCB, 1984. i { 88-41-385-DI Szcion,3,0: 18 [[ convaso L"nvlronmenml Wood • inundation of a minor portion of the project site by the 100-year flood waters • groundwater quality impacts 3.2.2.1 Orrainage and Runoff Sources of surface water emanating within or upon the project area consist of rain water and sheetfiow runoff from areas to the north. The project site may be impacted by increased sheetflow runoff emanating from East Etiwanda Creek during periods of heavy precipitatUln. The proposed development will not significantly alter the course of water movements.. Drainage and., rvaoff will be mitigated during the civil engineering design. Proj.+ct drainage facilities will intercont drainage at Sixth Street upstrvi+ `of the RP-4 facility in accor once with the City of Rancho Cucamon9a's master planned storm Srain system. The onsite drainage system will connect with the storm drainage improvements a planned by the County of San .Bernardino along Etiwanda Avenue adjacent to the WVDC. The county's system would also coofov.J to the master plan and would convey storm water to the lower Etiwanda Creek at Fourth Street (Newton, 1990). y. Surface water drai:age will be-t: ntrolled within the grounds of the RP-4 facility. In accordance with state and federal requirements, runoff from areas exposed to contamination will be included in the plant's wastewater treatment stream. Runoff from areas not exposed j to contamination will be diverted to the storm;drain system. Runoff in excess of that currently experienced at the. RP-4 site mould be t held onsite within the proposed emergency storage ponds (Newton, 19901. The project will not generate significant surface runoff or i drainage impacts. l 3.2.2.2 Onsite Flooding Onsite flooding of the portions of the project site within the 100-year and 500-year flood boundaries are essentially, negligible when viewed within the context,of the overall project. Accordingly, 08-41-385-01 Section 3.0: 1S with proper civil engineering design, the project wi7ii7ot be subject to significant. onsite flooding impacts. At least one route of ingress and egress to the facility will be,av?+ilable'during 'the. 100-year and 500-year flood.. 3.2.2.3 ow tre 1 P e $ns asrt oo :v Flood levels within deer Creek and Cucamonga Creek,channels will not be significantly affected by plant discharge: Th,,<current design peak flow in the Deer'�,,Creek Flood Control Channel Iat'�he confluence, with Fourth Street ;; 15,500 cubic foot second (cf4 (U.S, Army Corps of Engineers, 1917Z). The design peak flow is based upon the "standard project flood stare" which is utilizei,by the O.S. Army Corps of "Engineers rather than the 100-year flood. The "standard project flood storm" is their estimate of the discharge quantities assasciated'with. the greatest storm that can a expected to occur based upon past and projected meteorological data. In general, the "standard project flood storm" I! is about 1.6 times larger than the 100-year flood (Johnson, 1990). l rised upon the Las Angeles County and City of Los Angeles Sanitation Districts' peak discharge equation (F m 2.6/C-a 0s), and previous experience with similar sized treatment facilities (CH2MHill 1989), tha RP-4 design engineer selected ' an estimated peak one hour discharge factor of 2.0. J Based upon the above, the estimated peak one hour discharge rate at build-out and full operation of the RP-4 facility is 56 .mgd, or 86 cfs. This level of discharge amounts to approximately 0.55i of the design peak flood volume capacity in the Deer Creek Channel. Based upon the short peak flow duration (one hour), together with the design criteria requirement of 3.0 feet of freeboard for flood control channels, this volume increment it not expected to be significant. 88-41-385-01 Section 3.0: 20 Converge Envimamentd Wee4 yne current design peak flow (standard project flood) of the .�7 Cucamonga Creek Flood Control Channel at the confluence with the Deer Creek Channel is 34,000 cfs (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 1973). As noted above, the estimated peak one hour build-out discharge from. RP-4 is 86 cfs. This level 0 discharge amounts to approximately C.25%of the current capacity of the Cucamonga Creek Channel. Again, t considering the short peak flow duration (one hour),; together with the design criteria requirement of 3.0 feet of freeboard for flood-, control 'channels, this volume increment is; not expected to be t. significant. Both the Cucamonga.Creek and Deer Creek channels have been fully improvad and concrete-lined. 3.2.2.4 Surface hater Quality The quality of receiving surface waters (Prado Flood Control Basin) will not be adversely affected by RP-41s tertiary treated' effluent discharge. The treated effluent will initially discharge to the lined Deer Creek Channel which, in turn, discharges to the lined Cucamonga Creek Channel. The Cucamonga Creek Channel discharges into e" Reach 3 of the Santa Ana River Basin at the Prado Flood Control Basin. The anticipated quality of the tertiary treated effluent will t meet SARWQCB surface water quality objectives for the receiving ' waters (Table 3.2-2) and will be compatible with the SARWQCB's non-degradation policy. The quality of the tertiary treated effluent will also meet federal and state drinking water standards for total s inorganic nitrogen. As such, the project will not result in significant Impacts to surface water quality. - 47 3.2.2.5 aquatic Growth Aquatic growth in the '?per Creek and Cucamonga Creek flood control ' channels presiints a potential maintenance concern. A continuous flow J treated effluent water in flood control channels could w. promote aquatic growth which may create nuisance conditions, requiring periodic removal. Maintenance of the channels that contain continuous flows may be more frequent,thereby impacting maintenance 88-41-385-01 Section 3.0: 21 convara.Envtronn�ai+tai tY.at _ TABLE 3.2-2 'COMPARISON'OF RP-4 EFFLUENT!PATER QUALITY PITH bARWQCB SURFACE VATER'QUALITY OBJECTIVES - AAXIMUH CONCENT RP-4 DISCHARGE SANTA RATION ANA RIYERe CONSTITUENTS (Anntt,icivated) (Obi tiver) SODS <10 ag(I 10 moll Suspended coltds 410 ag(1 b Total coliforms <2.Y1100 ml <2.21100 ml Turbidity <2 NTUs c TIN <10 moll 10 mgPld Chlorine residual <0.1 my(t e Lin-ionized ammonia nn,:rogen <0.05 t'th 0.0 moll TFR(TOS) -SOO mgr 700 ag/1 Source:SARHQC6. aReach 3: i bsurface waters shall not contain susp&.*d or settleable solids in amounts which cause nuisance or adversely affect beneficial Uses. ck-.1 inland surfe,t waters of the region shall be free of changes in turbidity whim"adversely affeC beneficial uses. dTo protect aquatic life. the chlorine residual in wastewater discharged to lakes or streaM shall not exceed 0.1 mg/1� °Total nitrogen. filtered sample. 88-4I-385-01 Section'`3.8: 22 Comerms Environmontal West costs. Consequently, the project may generate potentially significant impacts to downstream flood control. operations due to increased aquatic growth from the plant's constant discharge flVw. 3.2.2.6 Groundwater The quality of groundwater will not be adversely affected by RP-4's tertiary treated effluent discharge. Deer Creek and Cucamonga Creek channels are the proposed main discharge paths for the facility- treated effluent, both of which are fully lined, Accordingly, ® tertiary-treated effluent will be conveyed throughout the Chino I and II groundwater sub-basins. Consequently, the project will not adversely impact the groundwater quality of either sur; basin when these discharge paths are utilized. At the confluence of the Cucaawnga Creek Channel and the: Prado Flood Control Basin, the tertiz'y treated effluent may or may not be diluted by other water sources prior to infiltrating the basin's 4-'Iments and possibly the area's groundwater. However, the anticipated quality of the RP-4 tertiary treated effluent will meet SARWQgB water quality objectives and, as such, will be compatible with the SARWQCB's non-degradation,policy. During maintenance of the Deer Creek Flood Control Channel, the Day Creek Flood Control Channel would be utilized as the short-term diversion or discharge path for tertiary-treated effluent. Day Creek, which traverses portions of Chino 'I and 11 groundwater sub basins, conducts surface waters to the "Wineville" retention basin (northwest of the intersection of Marlay Avenue and Wineville Road), which, in turn, discharges via a segment of Day Creek Channel to the "Riverside." retention basin (southeast of the intersection of Wineville and Patton roads). Both of these retentio.a basins are unlined. At the present time, the portion of Day Creek Channel between the proposed discharge point (at the confluence with Fourth St.bet)' add Slover Avenue, is unlined. The unlined sections of Day Cheek,Channel. 88-41-M-01 Section 3.0. 23 Convwu End Wad are. planned for full improvements (including lining) in the near future. according to the San Bernardino County flood Control District (Johnson, 1990), finding, has .been-al';ocated, and chann-bl improvements are anticipated to be completed in Fiscal Year 1991/1992. Until such time as all portions of the Day Creek flood `Contral Channel are lined, some of t+E tertiary-treated effluent could percolate into Chino groundwater sub-Fasins.l and 11. There also exists the possibility that facility-treo�ed-.effluent would reach the unlined Wineville Retention Basin Ind. percolate into Chino II � groundwater sub-basin (in which the Wineville retention basin is located). However, based on,the depth of the water, table and the expected short-term periodic use of Day Creek as a tertiary effluent discharge point, no adverse impacts to the groundwater quality of Chino sui p basins Land II are anticipated. The water, table-in the vicinity' of Day Creek Chanrjel is documented to be at-depth�-.exceeding 200 feet. Percolating facility-treated :fluent, would not reach the groundwater until the entire overlying soil column exceeds the soil field moisture capacity, which is approximately 25 percent. B Essentially, approximately 0.25'feet-of water (effluent) would have to be continuously applied over a one year period to saturate this soil column sufficiently to introduce any tertiarj ,:grated effluent into the 200-foot deep groundwater table. This assumes that he subsurface evaporation occurred, and that the soil permeability was, sufficient to allow such rapid percolation. 'However, because both of these assumptions are not vvlid, a significant death of tertiary- treated effluent continuudsly applied to the channel over,several years would be required to reach the groundwater cable. . 3.2.3 Mitigation Measures To mitigate potential project impacts associatsd with aquatic growth .i x in the flood control channels, the following measure is recor7ended 30-41-355-t1} Section 3.0. 23 r COaYmtr_Envleota�wsL�!Waf r`;:`� • Devel'op, in coordination with the San Bernardino County Flood Control District, ,, equitable inter-agency .provisions _f.r ' maintenance of flood control facilities.

Unfortunatet,', the same climatic conditions that create such a desirable living climate combine to severely restrict the ability of the local atmosphere to disperse the 'large volumes of air pollution generated by;the population and''industry attracted in part by the climate. Western San Bernardino County is situated in an area where the pollutants generated in coastal portions of the Los Angeles basin undergo photochemical reactions and then move inland across the project site;during the daily sea breeze cycle. The resulting smog at times gives Rancho.Cucamonga some of the worst air quality,in all of California. I Winds across the RP-4 project area are an important meteorological parameter because they control both the initial rate of dilution of locally ger rated air pollutant emissions as well as controlling their regional trajectory. Winds across the project site, as determined from long-term wind data at the Kaiser-Fontana plant, display a very unidirectional onshore flow from the WSW-'WNW that is strongest in summer with a weaker offshore return 'flow from the NNE-ENE that is strongest on winter nights when the land is c6lder than the ocean. The onshore winds during the day average 8 to 12 mph while the offshore flow is often calm or drifts slowly westwardIN at 1 to 3 mph. During the daytime, any, locally generated air emissions are thus rapidly transported eastward toward San Bernardino and Cajon Pass without generating any localized air, quality„impacts. The drainage winds which move slowly across the area have some potential for localized stagnation but, fortunately, these winds have their origin in,the San Gabriel Hountains wheys background 88-41-385-01 cection :3.0: 26 vbmrersa EnvimnmantA Wsst !Y j r. h pollution levels are love such that any localized contributions do not create any unhealthful impacts. However, the northeast to southwest flow during nocturnal drainage places the proposed adjacent detention facility periodically downwind of any potential project odor sources. .Such potential emissions will be strictly controlled by odor control systems that will eliminate any nearby,odor nuisance impacts. The siting of the treatment plant .near t5e detention facility will thus not normally adversely impact the inmate population despite the intermittently,meteorologically,unfavorable h , location of the treatment pla nt upwind of the count ail.' ' P P county i' In conjunction with the two characteristic wind regimes that affect` the rate and orientation''of horizontal, pollutant transport, there t; are two similarly distinct types of. temperature inversions that control the vertical depth through which pollutants are mixed. The summer onshore flow is capped by a massive dome of warm, sinking air which caps a shallow layer of cooler ocsan air. These AN marina/subsidence inversions act like ,a ,;'ant lid over the basin. They allow for local mixing of emissions, but they confine the entire polluted air mass within the basin until it escapes into the desert or aiongthe thermal chimneys formed along heated mountain slopes. In winter, when the air near the ground cools while the air aloft' remains warm, radiation inversions are formed that trap lour-level . emissions such as automobile exhaust near their source. As background levels of primary vehicular exhaust rise during the seaward return flow, the combination of rising non-local baseline s levels plus emissions trapped locally by these radiation inversions creates microscal`e air pollution "hot spots" near freeways, shopping' centers and other traffic concentrations in coastal areas of the Los Angeles Basin.. Interior valleys of the basin typically have excellent winter,air quality because of few emissions sources`upwind. at the beginning of the air's seaward trajectory. The combination of winds and inversions are thus critical determinants in leading a to the highly degraded air quality in summer, and the generally good. f - ' air quality, in winter in the Rancho Cucamonga area. 8841-3£5-01.

These standards a re the levels of air quality considered safe, 'with an adequate margin of safety, to protect the public health and welfare., They.are designed to'protect those people most'susceptible to further, respiratory distress such ds asthmatics, the elderly, very young children, people 'already weakened by other disease or illness, and persons engaged in strenuous work or 'exercise, cai.leu "sensitive receptors". Healthy adults can tolerate ;occasional exposure to :air ,pollutant concentrations considerable above these minimum standards before' adverse effects are observed. There are currently no sensitive receptor populations in the immediate vicinity of the proposed facility, but the West Valley,Detention Center (under construction) will cause a captive population to be,housed near the plant site. Fortunately, the inmate population is generally complised of healthy adults such that any adverse health response of" such a population will occur at levels well above the minimum standards. set for the most pollution-sensitive public at large. , National AAQS were established in 1971 for six pollution species with states retaining the option to add other pollutants, required more stringent compliance, or to include different exposure periods.. The initial attainment deadline of 1977 was extended to 1987 for national AAQS for selected pollut'�t ; and will required further extension in that AAQS are still nowhere near being,met, in air quality problem areas like Southern California. `Because California had established AAQS several years before the federal action and because of unique air quality problems introduced by the restrictive dispersion meteorology, there is considerable difference between state and national clean air standards.

The South Coast Air Quality Management District.(SCAQMD):operates a monitoring sti�Iion in Fontana on Arrow Wighway that measures the complete srectrum of gaseous and particus`ate pollutants for which there are clean air standards. Prom these data resources, one can well infer that baseline air quality levels near the project site are occasionally very unhealthful, but there are some encouraging signs that the air is slowly,° but surely, getting better:" Attainment may still be. 'many years -away, but the frequency of smog alerts," especially those considered•unheaithy for all people, has dropped' considerably in the last decade;. Table 3.3-2 summarizes the last, five years of monitoring data from the Fontana station (1989 data has net yet been: released). Ozone, the primary:ingredient in photochemical smog, is obviously,the biggest'pollution problem in the area. - About one-third of 'all days of the.year,experience a violation of the national hourly ozone standard with 30 to.40 first- stage alerts called each year: :The encouraging sign"is the complete lack of any second-stage.smog,alerts in Fontana since 1992, and the.. general reduction in average ozone concentrations throughout the 1980s. These trends7 are taken as an indication that stationary source c,,ntrols, the retirement of older, polluting cars and the mandatory'vehicle insperaion program are all contributing to a. positive improvement in: inland valley air quality. ` While ttie secondary ;pollution levels of ozone and, to a certain extent, particulates are :high from transport of pollution into the area. the primary vehicular pollution levels of species such as carbon monoxide (CO) and;nitrogen oxides (NOx) are quite low. 'Standards for these species are not violated in Fontana. 1n contrast to the high pollution levels during the summer, winter' Or quality around the project site is thus quite good.

Such a document was prepared by the SCAQMD and the Southern California Association of governments (SCAGj1n'1987 called the South Coast Air Basin Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). The basic premise of the AQMP was.that Southern California could,have a reasonable rate of growth ana' ill achieve clean air goals if z number of assumptions were realized. ,It soon became. apparent that the assumptions in the AQMP were completely unrealistic. In the update to the plan issued in 1982, the SCAQMO and-SLAG acknowledc+ that air quality was still so far from attainment and that control ,y measures needed to obtain attainment were so drastic and unacceptable, that a realistic expectation for attainment was well into the 21st Century. With the passage of the 1987 attainment deadline and the expiration of the Clean AST,, Act, the EPA devel, 1 a set of administrative guidelines for a past-'37 attainment'' ,,lan which was the basis for a new comprehensive AQMP adopted in March 1909. The new AQMP is based on an annual air quality improvement of S% per year with ultimate attainmentthus anticipated by the year-007. The new AQMP is a three-tiered approach based on.enhanced existing technology (Tier I), development of emerging technologies '(Tier I1), and Canticipation of new technologies still on the horizon (l,er III). The plan incorporates additional strong controls on industry, .but also focuses more and more on transportatii'n, land use and lifestyle 88-41-385-01 Section s'`�Ot''32 "r ConYt�saEftittronmaMattlVPa�t If as major contributors to air quality problems that must be significantly reduced if attainment is to occur. Some of the proposed tactics in the new plan (which individually must be enacted into law to be enforced) which may affect people of the region include limits on the number of cars ?. household may register, banning; gas-powered mowers, aerosol deodorants, liquid charcoal lighter, bias ply tires, requiring afterburners nn restaurant,grills, etc. By far, the greatest pollution reduction is expected from conversion of the travel fleet:to methanol or other„clean fuels, a c` major shim-;a mass transit systems, electrification-of the railway system and the conversion of solvent-based paints, coatings and manufacturing processes to water-based systems.. The Bush Administration and the U.S. Congress have both recently proposed separate plans for a new Clean Air Act such that the current AQMP may require additional. modi.fication to be consistent with afiy new federal clean air program if and when such a ,pT,ugram is adopted.' 3.3.2.4 Growth The proposed RP-4 facility relates to the AQMP in terms of its role in accommodating planned:: .growth of the region. The Inland Empire is now and, is projected to be the fastest growing region is Southern 9 California. There has been a long-standing argument ,whether treatment capacity expansion is growth-inducing or demand accommodating in terms of its effect- on growth and r..,ulting air pollution. If capacity is not increased, growth can locally halted. Sewer hook-ups are used in many jurisdictions for growth - control jmanagemer»t. If, however, 4emand is not accommodated within the CBMWD s-rv.,c:e area, 'it may+.ce met in Redlands or Beaumont or Moreno Valley or Hemet. To obtain services or go to work from these communities may entail much longer driving distances, greater traffic congestion and more vehicular emissions thanL if growth were accommodated by treatment capacity expansion within the GBMWD service area. Growth is .a'L, -,'I-wide phenomenon such that growth control- in one portion.of the basin may create counter-productive effects ir,another portion of the basin. The inter-relationship of treatment 88-41-385-01 Section 3.Q: 33COMM"En�T=MwMrli�* a; capacity, regional growth, transportation and air pollution emissions can, therefore, not be analyzed on any single project basis, but must be evaluated by a regional planning agency like SCAG.for the entire air basin as a whole, interconnected entity. II For a discussion of the proposed RP-4 project's compliance with AQMP conformity requirements, refer to Section 2.2.3. 3.3.3 Project Imoacz Wastewater treatment activities may contribute limited amounts of i air emissions for pollutants with ambient air quality standards (criteria pollutants) as well. as species which.'have n'o defined emissions or ambient limits. the,latter include nuisance compounds such as odorous organic and inorganic gas,s, as.well as tr' e amount of toxic air contaminants (TAQ that may have been iV anally dumped into the waste stream or which may be used in the treatment process itself. The interaction of air blowing through liquids or solids slurries may also cause mist droplets.-to be generated that contain biologically active species.' To some extent, wastewater treatment plants have a reputation of being smelly, objectionable and possible threats to public health based on treatment technologies no longer in use today. Today, there is no reason for a properly sized and designed treatment plant to have a highly objectionable odor. The odor pathways within the treatment process are well defined, and the technology to abate potential odor. nuisance is highly developed. As noted earlier, prevailing daytime 'winds from the southwest will carry any site emissions northeastward across Etiwanda Avenue over currently unused property. Wi-'; at night, however, often drift southwestward toward th1 detention center. With light winds and low-level inversions at night trials inhibit local mixing, odor impacts, if they were to occur, would quite;likely adversely impact the nearby inmate population. 'Odor control is, therefore, the primary air quality consideration of project implementation. Impacts from construction of the project and from other operational emissions are generally less critical than minimizing odor impacts to the det;,ntio'n center. 88-41-385-01 Section 3.0: 34 Conversa En.�ronm�n�I wen. . 3.3.3.1 Construction IIMAacts Clearing, grading, excavation and unpaved surface travel will create fugitive dust emissions throughout the project construction cycle. A universal fugitive construction dust emission factor of 1.2 tons per:icre disturbed per month of activity is generally, assumed for all construction projects. That factor, however, does not take into account variations in emission rates due to local soil moisiure, wind speeds, silt content,°.etc. and may, therefore, not ,be wholly representative of site-specific condil.,ions at the RP-4 site. A va*y precise estimate of proj;:ct-related (;missions can, therefore, not be made. Such dust emissions are comprised.mainly of large-diameter and chemically inert material readily filtered by human breathing passages. Dust, therefore, constitutes more of a soiling nuisance as it settles out on parked cars, landscaping or outdoor furniture_ rather than an adverse health impact. 'With SW to NE daytime winds, most site dust emissions will blow across Etiwanda;Avenue except during Santa Ana winds when RP-4 site emissions will blow toward the detention center. The nuisance f.. ;or from such dust is greatest during strong wind conditions when large areas have been recently exposed uy clearing or grading to act as fresh source areas for dust generation. If the majority of the project. site has its major earthworks completed before the inmates are moved` into the West Valley Detention Center, little adverse doss} nuisance impact should occur even during Santa Ana wind conditions. If, however, the clearing and grading are not finished by full inmate occupancy, extra efforts to comply with Sout►,i Coast AQMD Rule 403 (Fugitive Dust)will need to be expended to minimize any nuisance dust impacts. Construction activities will also entail combustion emissions from onsite equipment and offsite trucks hauling dirt, concrete or building materials. The mobile nature of this eruipment-is such that no single receptor is exposed for any extended period to exhaust emissions from suc:� sources. The combination of winds normally away from the site toward the nearest sensitive receptors,and the mobility of the sources themselves will create a..temporary and insignificant impact from equipment fuel combustion sources. 89-41-385-01 Section 3.0: 35 - -3 3.3.3.2 Operational Imoacts - Criteria Pollutants The major source of regulated air emissions from this project will be from the 1,165 kW engine-generator set which burns digester gas as its primary fuel source. The system will generate electricity and the waste .heat in the exhaust may also be extracted to provide !, thermal energy into the digesters. It, therefore, represe„ts an efficient use of energy, resource that might normally be discarded. Burning fossil fuels, however, releases combustion pollutants, especially N'3x and CO. Burning waste gas at RP-4 may, of course,` reduce the amount of fuel, to be burned at the nearby.Etiwanda Generating Station or some other power plant,but the impact analysis cannot speculate on where the electrical powermight have come from if not from the onsite engine-generator. Because the air basin is a non-attainment area for several pollutants, especially,ozone and carbon monoxide, the infrease of any air emissions which might lead to ozone formation or to increased CO levels requires the use of best available control technology BACT) to keep. such it.,veases as small as possible. If'-such increases exceed published threshold levels,, the 'applicant far an air quality permit for a new source must cause an equivalent or greater amount of each pollutant to be permanently eliminated 66 the basin (off-sets). Off-sets are difficult to obtain; therefore, staying under the threshold levels with BACT as the only constraint is advisable. The South Coast AQMD has proposed that all thresholds be eliminated except for a limited basin-wide pool of allowable increases from which all new sources must draw, but the final version of the proposed revisions to the District Regulation;XIII (New Source Review) has not been released. Permit applications filed before a ' revised Regulation XIII is adopted will probably-fall under the current threshold limits. The AQMD has also indicated a possible willingness to allow public-owned treatment works and landfills to burn waste .gas under the old'de minimis threshold criteria as an exception to the revised Regulation XIII. 88-41-385-01 Section 3.0: 34 ConvKM Envbn+uneaW West I The proposed engine-generator system will undergo two levels of MACT analysis by AQMD staff. Levels of emissions control achievable in demonstrated applications are required as a minimum. The AQMD will further evaluate the possibility of err,even more stringent level of,, control weighed against cast, energy benefit and technical' reliability. iA more stringent level of emissions control than routinely demonstrated MAC: could be required for some or all jcombustion pollutants.

The"back-up diesel,generator constitutes ankher possible emissions impact source.

Modern'. instrwientation has led to llimited actual quantification of odor concentratioa far specified compounds, but no machine can adequately simulate the human nose when confronted with a complex mixture of interactive odorants.

Five odor points within the process stream will be equipped with exhaust fans and the air will be processed is odor scrubbers where odorous air passes through a fine mist of ch;tmically treated water or circulates around complex shapes with.many gas exchange surface areas designed to scrub;out the odora�,,t.

Tests for various treatment.processes, even where a sludge slurry is sprayed into the air for land application, rarely show any measurable difference between air downwind of.treatment facilities ver'us upwind concentrations of micro-organisms. A number . of,health stu dies have been performed within and around treatment plants that have found no detectable health impacts resulting from any public exposure to treatment plant air emissions. The only health impacts that have ever been documented are slightly elevated frequencies of gastro-intestinal"'disorders among new—treatment plant , workers in their first two years of employment from Taccidental oral ingestion of bacteria. No airborne health impact pathways have ever i` been identified to either plant employees or the public:: Since these studies were at older plants where aeration o', wastewater was more violent, the use of a more diffused airst.rean I the aerators planned'. at RP-4 will reduce even more the potential for:any observable health impacts from -,y limited treatment ;process micro-organism release. Toxic air contaminants ,(TAC) may be stripped from the primary treatment system if aeration is sufficiently turbulent and the incoming wastewater contains TACs. In areas of primeri y residential wastewater generation, TAC concentrations are low. If a.system of microbubblers is used for aeration instead of more `turbulent macrobubblers, whatever TACs are in suspension will mostly stay, there. They will later be thermally desorbed tn�the digester and burned in the engine or emergency flare with S5+% destruction efficiency'such that TACs will not create a significant air quality' ._7 . impact. 88-41-386-01 Section 3.01:,42, GonV4M*,;mrlro*"htd West : ` — -=JE C ) Chlorine is defined as a toxic gas and will be used in considerable quantities for disinfection and possibly for odor control< The Uniform Fire Code specifies handling and spill control requirements` that will be enforced by the .Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protect-Ran District and the County of San Bernardino Aepartment of Environmental Health Services (DENS).

A considera:N on of noise e?;iosure has, therefor, becomo an integral part of the planning process for new development. Noise is defined as any sound that is undesirable or Interferes with normal hearing processes. Periods of.quite are aecessaryfor human health and welfare. Although the major adverse impact of exposure to an excessively,noisy environment is reduced heating capacity, the psychological impacts of noise exposure at less than hearing loss thresholds are equally important. 3.4.1 fnvironmenta'! Settino Existing noise levels at- the treatment plant site degive from -a variety of sources. Etiwanda Avenue creries a high proportion of truck traffic that is typically moving,;at a mt,derate rate of speed. Ontario Airport air traffic passes ovarhead,.trains move along the track south of I-10, freeway noise is heard faintly in the distance, and industrial activity such as the nearby power plant add to the general noise envircameInt. j Baspite the numerous noise intrusions, existing noise levels away from the closest roadway are nevertheless semi-rural because there is generally an adequate distance-'buffer between the site and the noise source to dissipate the most intrusive f noise levels. In order to characterize current noise levels in the project vicinity, an onsite noise survey was conducted on January 8, 1990. Hourly noise levels adjacent to Etiwanda Avenue north of 4th Street south of the project siteand again north of the site were,monitored using standard Cal'frans roadway noise monitoring protocols. Monitoring was conducted using a Larson-Davis Model 700 Integrating J Sound Level Meter operating in the A-weighted Leg monitoring mode. The purpose of this monitoring was to both define existing.noise exposure for pre-project conditions,; and, secondly, to develop an accurate data set to be used for calibrating a computerized roadway 88-41-385-01, Section 3.0: 45 COMM"Em+im mento tuna! l'`L noise dispersion model 'with site-specific iioise propagation conditions. The results of this noise monitoring, including 30-minute traffic counts, light, medium and heavy vehicle breakdo►ft, and a travel speed measurement, were then compared uiith the roadway noise predicted by the highway noise computer model developed by the Federal Highway Administration (7HWA Highway Traffic Noise Prediction _ Model, FHWA-RD-77-108, December 1978). The model incorporates the latest set of California-specific vehicle noise emissions data (CALVENO-85). The results of this ambient monitoring and calibration exercise`produced a'comparison between model' and measurement's as follows: NOISE LEVELS Leg in dB(A) MEASURED MODELED�—� i/z�'hour 1/2 hour OIFFE•74W LOCATION tea&AL Lea dB(A) dB A South of Site 50 feet to Etiwanda centerline 68.9 69.7 +0.8 IOD feet to Etiwanda centerline 64.6 661.2 +0.6 North of Site 50 feet to Etiwanda centerline 71.5 69.9 -1.6 100 feet ta_Etiwanda centerline 67.0 6619 -0.1 *Modeled results minus actual measurement. These results suggest that, at least for the exposure at which the readings were taken and'-the model ttcs calibrated, the FHWA Model with the newest CALVENO-85 noise curves very accurately predicts noise exposure at receptor sites adjacent to the treatment plant property. The excellent model/measurement correlation, with negligible'average net error when all differences are averaged together, creates;- confidence level. that future localized traffic impact noise ie,,, can be,predicted with similar accuracy. 3.4.2. Proiect Impact Wastewater treatment'plants are not traditionally associated with noise annoyance. Treatment pla `.�s are typically located in areas 88-41-385-01 Section M: 46 a omwww Er vinxunmta w.st rer:wed from noise-sensitive land.uses such as residences, hospitals, libraries, churches, etc. This distance buffer was previously r intended to allow for adequate dilution of anyodor nuisance, but the,spatial separation also 1r lowed for considerable noise reduction within the intervening spree between source and receiver. Furthermore, there are few activities within a treatment plant which are extremely noisy that`are not housed within a solid structuve such as a building. Pumps, generators, waste gas angines and similar equipment are shielded from outside exposure both for equipment protection as well as for noise control. Noise sources exposed directly to open air such n rushing water or air bubbling through a liquid have very low noise source levels, and there is typically little or no noise nuisance associated with wastewater treatment._ 3.4.2.1 Construction Noise Impacts Plant construction will cause noise generation from site preparation., (clearing, grading and excav-Ation), from heavy assembly work of a' buildings and flow basins, api from interior finish work using saws, hammers, drills, etc. Indiv.:dual pieces of equipment are noisiest during the site preparation phase, but the number of pieces of equipment and construction intensity level are small. ,As more and more contractors work onsite during the later phases of construction, their individual noise generation is less, but the activity level €' is more pervasir .throughout.the plant site. Site preparation equipment such as scrapers, graders, tE�ac+ors or - backhoes has noise levels that average around 90 dB(A) at 50 feet from such_sources witF peaks 'at full throttle and full load nearing 100 dB(a). Sound levels from individual point sources of noise omissions are attenuated by atmospheric spreading at a rate of 6 dB for every doubling of distance. 'In areas of clear line of sight between a-source and receiver, the 90 dB(A) equipment nc.ise emissions require about five distance doublings: (over 1,000 feet from the source) to reduce the source strength to an acceptable 60 dB(A) level where construction noise would not be intrusive to anyone engaged in activities requiring reasonable quiet such as' having a 88-41-385701 Section 3.0: 47 ' CCV Wn Eavimmotw Wan conversation, reading, watching TV., etc. in areas where structural screening partially breaks the source-rrteiver line of sight, the . limits of potential construction equipment, noise intruslon are much smaller. There are currently ra noise sensitive land uses affected] by ipt ,,Qct construction noise. The 00y anticipated► sensitive receii,�_e.population is the adjar:ant inmate populattiion likely to be present during the later phases of RP-4 construction and during subsequent.phased expansion of RP-4. With that expC nsinn, however, much of the,,-Preliminary- site disturbance will haze been completed during Phase I,;requiring only limited ma,' earthworlk,during later phases. Later construction phases will a'rso' be shielded to some extent by previously built structures. '�fWith time limits on construction activities to preclude sieep distuishance and with partial mitigation noted above, thelk:-4s little likelihood of any significant construction noise impact on the West Valley Detention Center during future treatment plant expansion. 3.4.2.2 0peratjonal Noise Impacts r. Noise sources associated with treatment plant 4erationa derive primarily from pumps, blowers and fans. Most pumps and rotating �( equipment will be enclosed, within so'H ds or liquids transfer buildirds for weather protection =Some fans, especially for o6or control units, may be roof-mounted. Many treatment activities depend on quiescent gravitational settling of solids or the slow l`ti skimping of buoyant scum such thatmaterials are moved slowly through the,'reatment process. Violent air injection may unnecessarily strip odor compounds such that air blowing often occurs through:mi.cropore diffusers with million of"quiet" bubbles rather than loud explosive popping tx large air pockets within liquid or sludge mixtures. The noisiest site activities will be the engine generator set that burros digester gas and the back.-up emergency diespj generator, The back-up generator will , A,-be used except during a complete power outac,-a. if an outage occLrs, then the detention center,emergency generator will also be in use such that the site emer$zacy generator in the blower building at the north cd of the site near 6th Street 88-41-385-01 Section 3.'0: 48 MV4=EftVhV vnWiW Wee G r� '' ,, will probably not be audible in detention center sleeping areas above g generator. the background level from the detention canter ener In contrast to the highly intermittent diesel generator use, the digester gas engine-generator set located in the sludge handling building will be in semi-continuous use. Engine noise will be mini:,*zed because V,e engine will be hour d within a trot ore with only the muffler anQ t1e,top of the exhausts pipe exposed to`open air. Although hearing protection Is required within the engine room, the outside noise exposure drops rapidly,,especially when the engine building itself further acts as a propagation ba.-,rier, It is often 20 dB quietzr in front of the engine-generator building than in the rear near the exhaust stack. Except in direct view of the stacx near the northeastern corner of the project site, the engine-generator noise exposure will be less than the 45 dB nocturnal standard_ ior maximum noise-sensitive!tses. With elevated background noise levels from the SCE power plant:to the north, from truck traffic on Etiwanda Avenue and from possible activities on the Kaiser site, noise impacts from the engine-generator set will most likely not even be. det-stable at the site boundary. Operational activities also include an increase in employee committing and limited increases: in truck traffic. on Etiwanda Avenue. An estimated 90 to I_-0 daily auto t�tips (based upon, an operational employment level of 26 tc 35 persons) and 10-daily truck trips will be added to the local ro*AdwV system. The F..HWA'Highway Traff'r,Noise , Prediction Model described previously Was riiii for this ..-iume of traffic superimposed on existing traffic conditions. The net change in roadway noise from project traffic (trucks and cars) was 0.06 to ? 0.07 dB, an insignificant increase. The bulk of site traffic, both r, cars and trucks, will occur during Oe daytime without any sleep disturbance t4 the adjacent detention cent-ir. Nocturnal traffic_ n x and ost of the#,�eatment plant will be almost non-existent except for a few cars in and out when the swing shift operators leave.and 'yX the graveyar4�1•ihift operators come on duty. �38�41-385-01 Sertlon 49 �== CarvKas Em 2m..w wen 3.4.3 Mitioation Measures rbise impacts fr"_� plaint construction and operation on the -adjacent detention cents i population and the community at large .will Ve miniitl.

The engine-generator will be exhaustedon the northern side of the sludge handling building to use the building itself as a noise propagation barrier toward the inmate population at the detention center. The above measures wou;°d reduce the project's potential noise,(mpacts to a level. of non-sion4 cance. a, 88-41-385-01 S_ ect+ ion 3.0: 50 3.5 Light and Glare 3.5.1 Environmental Setting Light and glare ie the surrounding area are created by a number :yf public and private sources. Vehicular traffic contributes a significant amount of glare and stray light. Normally, ex►ari r building lights, street lights, and school and recreational outdoor lighting, all create additional light and glare. While adequate lighting is necessary for traffic safety, security, and nighttime activities, the nearby West Valley Detention Center (WVOC) may be sensitive to high levels of light and glare during nighttime hours. Light and glare &e a problem prOcipally when exterior lighting shines on adjacent Light-sensitive properties. 3.5.2 Project'lmoar A general concern has been expressed regarding potential impact upon the neighboring VV'DC from the nighttime lighting needed to operate the RP-4 facility.'

Other physic al factors will also reduce the potential for significant lighting impacts: The RP-4 project facilities will be isolated from neighboring propertiez.by an onsitee landscaping/v,getat on barrier and s buffer zone (refor to Section 3.8)., 88-41.-385-01 Section 3.0: 51 convem EnviroamaAM woo e The project site is in general elose proximity to well-lighted ' roadways.

The City of 'Iancho Cucamonga has addressed the avoidance of and r'esponsetn enisrgency upsew co6ditions within its updated General Plan, Public Health and Safety.Super- Element. In addition, the City has prepared an emergency plan which coordinates all local public safety agencies, city departments and r other support personnel through their, Emergency Operatici�s Center (EOC). The EOC has direct communications capability with all local agencies rEsponding to e% gency situations. Both the State Office of Emergency Services and the County of San Barnardino contribute fl technical assistance toward the preparation and coordination of emergency and contingency plans (Sity'of Rancho Cucameaga, 1989a). 3.6.2 Project Impacts 3.6,2.1 _qM s tXttion The, construction of a wastewater tr i- plant has a remote possihiiitf of an upset due to unplann... events. The risks for this project are not greater than for any other construction project of its size. Plant construction poses a level of risk to the construction workers and a lesser r•lsk to the local populace. Any construction risks will be reduced to a level of insignificance � through the maintenan-n:of safe constriction practices and compliancr with the Occupatia.._l Safety and Health Act. All contractors will be req,fired to cnmply witF�0-7nmental safety and health reigulations and city car,truction perm,Its.

Theve is a chance that a loaded sludge truck could overturn or otharwise spill its load; however, this is.a rer.otu_possibility which, even were it to occur, would not ` pose a significant public hearth threat because of the relatively innocuous nature of the plant sludge (refar to Section 3.9).

Also, in connection 1 with the implementation of a Risk Management and Prevention Program (refer to Section 3.9.1), CBMWD will .prepare` an Emergency Preparedness Plan and train all of its`employees at the plant in emergency procedures. The Plan will cover the, various typ_r of emergencies`that<could occur within thy'facility. Digester rupture, in the form of blown relief valves, is caused by pumping 'coo much liquid into, he digester. This condition would' result in the uncontrolled release .3f digester gas and minor amounts of foam or sludge. Digesters operate-throughout the nation safely and reliably with very few accidents. The technology is well known and all digesters are built to Uniform Kuilding Code spbcifications Moreover, a digester rupture posts little if a,,,V risk to 'plant employees and no risk t2-the general public. The spilled contents would be vacuumed and returned to the system for treatment. Some objectionable odors would be created in the irteritri However, this condition would only be temporary. Consequently, the potential risk . of upset from digester rupture is considered to be insignificant. i1 Digester explosions can only be caused by incidental deft titian ofy, residual digester gas during d.+ester maintenance or `cleaning conducted in a ananner at jariance with standard safety procedures. , 38-41-385-0�!

In the first case, the storage, transport and,handling of hazard+ r: materials and substances .sre under the"primary jurisdiction of the County of San Bernardino, Department of Environmental Aealth Services (DEHS) as the administering agency for Chapter 6.95,of the California Health and Safety Code. Oemicals classified as Acutely Haiardvus Materiais (e,g chlorine) are generally" subiect to the Risk Management and Prevention Program (RMPP) lake (AR 3777). The RMPP, when implemented at a particular f,X:lity, is destined to prevent acutely hazardous materials risks.

The RMPP reeuires handlers of acutely hazardous materials to conduct comprehensive evaluations of their facilities to minimize any releases of the r6,3erials, and to protect the public health and s-fiety and the environment from releases that do occur.!, Facilities handy iig such materials must: a. have a current bu. ze: . plan approved by, thel DENS, b. file an Acutely€tazardous Materialsttgistfatiur.foray with the.

Transport of hazardous materials by truck and rail is regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation through National Safety Standards. Thzse standards are also integrated into the California Administrative Code. Hazardous waste haulers are regulated, by the California Health Services Department:, In addition, the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District has a hazardous materials team assigned to deal ,,dth these materials on a_daily basis in accordance with the `bounty Hazardous Waste Management Plan (Almand, 1990; Nelson, 1990). In the second case, the risk of upset conditions are addressed in report Section, ;.u. The potential for transmission " pathogens from Mudge material is governed by those regulations discussrld in-Section 2.4.3. 3.9.2 Eri.�_i,ct ITp_a 3.9.2.1 Pathooen Transmission The evidence for pathogen transmission among plant employees anO mlhe-s 'tring treatment operations indicates that this rick, if any, is -r-°?gnificant. Numerous treztrant plant Workers, administrative personnel, and visitors throughout the option are in frequent and ce=ea pruximity to waste treatment systems and show ;to ill effector fro=» such daily contact. Therefore, p.-thogen transmissiop..impacts upon such individuals, f'rom the proposed RP-4 plant would be,virtually non-existent. ,; 88-41 395-01 Section 3 0: �S E1Q2 189 C�,-A eda of r Q The potential for pathogen transmission to the general public via" tertiary treated efflut.4 'is, also nsignificant because the wastewater at RP-4 will he treated to remove all pathogendc components. It will be thoroughly filtered, then disinfected with chlorine before discharge. The RP-4 tertiary treated effluent standards 1 will 'meet Title _22 requirements for unrestricted recreational imowindments (refer to report Section 2.4.2.2)' The solids and sludges produced at the plant are of potential concern because of theirr-pathogen content. However, the treatment process will reduce the number of pathogens in the sludge by over 90% for . most viruses and bacteria, and by over 50% for other pathogens. The sludge will be mechanically handled throughout the treatment process and will be transpor,ed by truck in closed, containers for disposal as discussed in Sections 2.3.2.5 and 2.4.3. Furthermore, epidemiology studio:. of sewage treatment plant workers, sludge composters and others involved in-sledge managementA ndicate that there is little likelihood of disewm transmission from the sludge. The proposed treatment process th�flefore precludes the potential for significant pathogen-related humim henith impacts, 3.9.2.2 Groundwater Contamination She 4mpact analysis considered the effect of the anticipated nitrate • constituent of the plant's tertiary treated effluent on groundwater quality andpublic health. 1 Nitrates are inorganic chemical ions formed from nitrogen and oxygen and are expressed as the formula H03. Nitrates are L universally present in the environment and,occur in igneous rocks at levels of 46 parts per million and in sedimentary rocks at levels of 510 parts per million measured as nitrogen (Harmsworth, .1989). To protect the public beano, the EPA established, 2nd'the uepartment. of Health Services adop z4, a drinking water standard of 10 mg/l far nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) and l mg/l for nitrite-nitrogen (NO2-N). 88-41-38'-01 Section 3.0: 66 Coaysrae Ens lrossma+��i.vVsct 1' The project has been designed.to denitrify the tertiary :treated effluent during the treatment process. The facility will be capable of meeting the anticipated inorganic nitrogen limits currently under consideration by`th;,!SARWQCB. The expected TDS in the RP-4 effluent will fbe 2OO;mg/1 from, the existing water supply, plus an increment of 250 n ' ,r less added by househo`J,Ls, indl.stry,,: and the treatment process, for a total of 500 mg/1 TDS. This amount is Significantly belovi the Basin Plan limitations for. Zone III of the Chino groundwater basin and for the standards established for Reach 3 of the Santa Ana River. 3.9.2.3 Toxic Pollutants The potential for toxic pollutants in the RP-4 sludge, such as heavy metals or complex organic. compounds listed by EPA as priority pollutants, was considered in the environmental analysis. Existing regulations described in Section 2.4.3, as well as routine monitoring of the sludge, will effectively reduce the possibilityof significant toxic pollutant impacts.: 3.9.3 M—iticigtion AeaLu Mitigation measures incorporated into project design and operation to ensure that impacts upon human health would not .be significant will be as follows: • To mitigate the potential for pathogen transmission, sludge will be transported in covered trucks to their destination,and effluent from the ,process will be treated to meet Title 22 standards. • To mitigate any potential for groundwater contamination, process effluent will be treated to meet discharge standards established by the SARWQCB. • To mitigate the potential for toxic pollutants entering the environment, routine monitoring of sludge wi11 be practiced. In addition to the rhove:mitigation measures, the proposed project design and existing regulations (refer to Section 2;4) will also:. `I 5-01 Sectiop 3.0, 67' Cm1V&M*EBVh*3msnmi wed contribute to the'redUction of potential human health impacts to a' level of non-significance.

Table 3.10-1 lists one street segments which were analyzed and presents the existing daily traffic volumes as well; as the aitaiiabla roadway capar_ity. Figure 3.10-1 also reflects 1,J6 existing daily aolumes. The County of Riverside road capacities (Riverside County Road k Department, 1985) were utilized as a guideline in determ;ning'the adequacy of the. stody roadways.

The two previously referenced j studies were used again to determine the impacts of,the other area projects.' J It is projected that the first increment of the RP-4 project will be completed in 1994.,-The'two previously completed studies for the Metropolitan Water District's Riwanda Pipeline and Power Plant , (Wester Services, Inc., 19,88) and the WVDC (Converse Environmental: Consultants California, 1988) 'contained different assumptions and analyses methodologies. .This RP-4 impact analysis used information. from both previous reports to develop a projection of the year 1994 pre-project conditions. The traffic impacts of the two other projects were included in the 1994 pre-project conditions. In addition,-a 7 percent per year growth rate was applied- to the existing volumes` (1988 to 1994) to account for traffic from other potential developments which may be constructed and occupied prior to 1994. - Table 3.10-1 also shows the dailytraffic volumes for 1g94 pre- project p_ project conditions. It can be seen that significant increases in daily traffic volumes are expected, but the totals are still well. within the roadway capacity of the existing street system. 3.10.3 Project Impact Trio Generation Trip generation analyses were performed for construction-related traffic and traffic associated with the operations of the completed 88-41-38S41' Section ,3.0: 72 RP-4'faci I ity...The construction traffic volumes are expected to vary significaniiy `isir;.;:ghout the,building period, similar to a bell- shaped .curv6 The peak construction period, which is expected to last one, to two months, would require a maximum of 200 employees`, 35 concrete trucks per day, 30 dirt haul trucks per day, and various equipment delivery trucks12 In order to estimate the number of trip ends generated; by. the construction employees, trip generation rates contained in `trip Generation (ITE,' 1987) :were utilized, Rates have not yet been published for construction workers specifically, so several rates were examined and a conservative estimate was." made.

Therefore, the actual .project impacs would be the trip generation differential between the model land use and the proposed RP-4 project, If the model assumed a land use for the project site which generated more traffic;than expected for RP-4, then the proposed project represents an'overall area traffic reduction, a beneficial impact unvb the area. The post-2010 intersection analyses for Etiwanda/Arroea and Etiwanda/San Bernardino (Fourth Street) were also provided by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Estimates of .RP-4 impacts were overlaid on these projections as shown in Table 3.10-4. The increased traffic volumes at those intersections due to RP-4 operations do not cause Y, any change in intersection capacity! utilization (ICU values, therefore, nc significant project-related impacts upon those intersections are anticipated. In summary, the proposed project is expected to generate a maximum of 740 daily trip ends during construction, and upon completion the daily trip end total Mould be reduced to 120. Future daily volumes during construction and project operations are expected to remain within the LOS *C" design capacity.

Roth series are similar in ,tt-,tI they.consist of somewhat excessively. drained suds formed on alluvial fans in f granitic alluvium, and have -the ,=ame ranges in average annual precipit;,.tion (12 to 16 inches), mean annual air temperature (61°F to 65•F), and length of frost-free season (230 ,to 280 days). Representative soil profiles, while slightly different in color and composition;, indicate similar depths (60 inches), pit balance (slightly acidic), permeability (rapid), available water capacity 0 to 5 inches), and depth of penetrability (60 inches or more). The Delhi Series consist of just one soil tv et Delhi fins sand Tujunga Series consists of two soil types:: TuJunga loamy <ind, 0% to 5% slope (TuB), and Tujunga gravelly loamy sand, 01-to 9% slopes (TvB). The subject parcel contains both nb and TO soil types, which, in turn, are very similar in terms of runoff rate (slow to very slow), soil blowing hazard (moderate to high on bare sot;), use (citrus grapes, small grains, .and pasture ;plants), capability unit (111 e - 4 irrigated), and. Storie index rat ng (Grade 2).

As 'a, result of conducting'a cultural 'resource survey for the site (Research AssoiEiates, 1989; see Appendix C➢ it appears that the project area was not cultivated',until around 1915, .when John: Colombero and his father planed the Zinfandel, Malaga, and other black varieties of wine grapes now found on the property. . The Colomberos erected their winery facilities in'the mad--1930s and sold them around 1960 to Dow Chemi,, .1 Company who, i�,�,turn, had leased the property, as a winery to a "number of parties,j, including the original owners. The Colombera Winery buildings were removed in 1987 f by the CBMWD. 'Remnants of the vineyard still exist as 'intended grapevines. ~ 3.11.2 Project Impact -- The development of 'the RP-4 facility would be consistent with existing and plarine+d industrial land uses'in'the itartediate vicinity as called for in the City of Rancho Cucamonga 'General Plan and Industrial ,Specific Plan (City, of Rancho Cucamonga, 1981 and 1986) The loss of agricultural lands to development of the RP-4 facility, does not represent a significant impact. The existing vineyard, which is not productive, appears to have been abandoned. The vineyard is not situated within an agriculture preseive. Conversion of the subject parcel to a more intensive use.is_in keeping with established trends and adopted plans for the area and, as such, .loss not constitute premature development.. 3.11.3 it' ation Measures No mitigation measures are proposed. 8841483-01 Section 3 0: ;82 convarse EnvimnMeadai Welt v,. 3.12 Natural Resources Y: 3.12.1 Environmental Setting Construction of the RP-4 facility, will -entail the use of a'va-Ciety of construction materials and the consumption of fuels 1 for motorized equipment.

The'current s;te capacity of the RP-1 facility.. however, has been estimated at only; 60 to 70 mgd, which is 'inadequate to handfOa the anticipated RP-1 service area demand (RP-1, RP-3 anti RP-4) of approximately 150 mgd. Even if the capacity of the RPWI facility could be ;increased,, the conveyance capacity of the Etiwanda trunk sewer is limited to only 6.3 mgd downstream of the RP4 site. With the RP-4 service area flow estimated at 28 mgd, the pipeline is: undersized to convey the, wastewater to the RP-1 facility. The other'.existing or planned treatment plants in the CBMWD service area are not capable of accepting increased flow from the RP-1 and RP-4 service areas because they are near capacity or are being designed for a specific:service area. r - -41-385-01 Section Mo verss Envfrtpmentai w' ad As a consaqueiKe of continued growth, coupled,with the limitations of the RP'-1 faA,i.1 ity, there iiauld continue to be a..need fn,N additional treatment fildlities w'�thin the near- term. ;bus, ar'the' maximum capacity of tt2,RP-1.`fa,: ility;is reached (and=—kcesded), serious-enyjlr-onmental and pu&Hc'health corsegty ;ces'�could result` 88-41-385-01 Section 74.0, 2' Gomrersstnv7ronmen9a Walt ik 4.2 Alternative Site'Locations The'RP-4 Feasibility Study, completed in`1984, (Murk Engineers, Inc., March 1984), identified an area for the siting of RP-4 bounded on, the north by Arrow Route, on the south by Eighth Street, on the west by Wineville Avenue=and on the east by Etiwanda Avenue. The recommended study area was,confistent with the CBMWD objectives of providing capacity relief ,within the larger RP.-I service area while Enhancing the water reuse potential to a large developing region. As such, the study area was situated immediately north.af the largest potential 'user of reclaimed water - the Southern California Edison Etiwanda Generati:rg Station. The study area was enlarged by the CUND to include additional land south 0 *he siting area recommended in'the RP-4 Feasibility Study. The enlarged survey area was bounded on the north by Arrow Route, on the south by Fourth Street, on the west by`the Day Creek Flood Control Channel and on the east by the imaginary southerly extension of Ilex Avenue through the Kaiser Steer'complex. A preliminary map search and visual survey was completed in the enlarge`'"survey area, and four potential sites located within less than a one-mile-radius from the SCE Etiwanda Generating Station were, identified as alternatives to the preferred.RP'-4 site: These sites are listed as Parcels 1, 2, 3 and 4 on Figure 4.2-1 and,were selected based on the following criteria: • Available land area of approximately 30'acres -• Si.te location sufficiently close to existing and proposed trunk Gewers to permit the logical extension and modification of the collection systems as required to divert the wastewater to the site. • Site location within the area designated by the City of Rancho Cucamonga for fleavy Industrial Development. • Site location which will encourage the future reuse of effluent discharged from the facility; located nearby the SCE Etiwanda Generating Station. - 88-41-385rt01 Section 4.0: 3 ConvemeEnvironmewworst :_ . vnOr / t BLVD :l Vl CORP � '�•8p_�:..

A more detailed analysis of the sites indicated that Site "3 was traversed by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California's (MWD) Upper Feeder which essentially "creates two separate parcels. The twelve-foot diameter pipeline is located-within a 40-foot MWD` right-of-way. In order to make construction feis0le, the facility would have to be ,separated into unit processes located north and south of the MWD Upper Feeder with interconnecting Jpiping between the facilities. Because of the potentially significant engineering and operational difficulties associated with project implementation, this site was eliminated'from further consideration as infeasible. Sites 1,"2 and 4.Were determined to bn feasible for evaluation as alternatives to;h�e preferred RP-4 site, With the exception of Site 4, ei1 the a?fterna'tive sites are situated within the Heavy ir�d;str,,al Deve+opment ?one of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Site 4 is locatpei in the"un_ivorporated portion of San Bernardino County within the`'larger Kaiser'feel Complex Given the industrial nature l of the stir,?eunding land Ises; it was believed that the construction of the RP4 facility would be a compatible land use. All of the sites considered arse adjacent to transportation corridors which permit and have establifthed truck traffft-activity. With the exception of the Kaiser Site,l all of the ident" ied alternative sites are currently being utilized for industrial-related activities.. It is therefore unlikely that any significant biological resources or cultural remains are present. Finally,it shocltd be noted that given current SARWQCB policies and the water quality objectives within ` u" the Chino ground basin, it was determined that`the-Deer,Creek Flood Control Channel would be utilized as the effluent discharge point " regardless of the site selected for the ftp-OaciT%ty. - 4.2.1 Site 1 Site 1 is situated west of Etiwanda Avenue approximately 1000 feet' south of Arro4 'Route'. The site is comprised of two separate parcels and is currently utilized by tie lr�aeran Pipe and Steel Company as r 88-41-385-01 Section CO: 5 convuse Envhv&T.*nw Wed, a storage yard for pipe manafactured,at the Ameron facility located on Arrow Route. Other nearby- land uses include mixed commercial/industrial uses to the east, the Ameron facility to the north and west and .the SCE Generating Station to the south,: Residential land uses are located approximately LOCO feet north of the site at the northeast corner of Arrow Route and Etiwanda Avenue. Sewage could be readily diverted to the site,through a connection' to the Etiwanda Trunk Sewer which is located immediately east of the site. Vsant hydraulics would be similar to the preferred site in terms of a►ticipated pumping requirements. Tertiary treated effluent would be required to discharge to Deer Creek Flood Con$rd' Channel, Eli' adding in G,r..ess,of one mile of length to the outfall line proposed for efflue:nt''discharge at the preferred RP-4 site. Comparing 1bte i to the preferred RP-4 site indicates that the environmental issues of concern_ and associated, impacts are essentially identical. Utilization of Site 1 wouldR,however, result in an increase in the cost of project development due to the required extension of the RP-4 outfal: line. Additionally, use of the site would also require the relocation of the fteron Pipe and Steel: activities, potentially resulting in further project development- related costs and. secondary, nvi;•onmental impacts. As a result of the additional project costs and relocation of the existing business, the alternative site was determined to be economically inferior to the preferred site. 4.2.2 Site Site 2 is situated soutn'of Arrow Route, east of the Day Creek Flood Control Channel., The site' consists of five separate parcels totalling approximately 85 acres. The site is currently occupied by a number of industrial operations including the Brookside Winery and the American Pacific Concrete Company facility. Additional adjoining land uses include the Fontana Steel Complex to the east and the Interstate 15 Freeway west of tho Day C reek_Channel. :i 88-41-385-01 Section 4.0: o' Comer"Environmst1w fives! Diversion of the wastewater from the ,Etiwanda Trunk Set�4r to the plant site would be accomplished by construction of an approximately one mile long pipeline. In order to permit gravity Clow within the. diversion pipe, the depth:of the pipe would increase is it ;proceeds east to west At the point of diversion into the Brookside site,. the depth of`the pipe would be approximately 30 feet below grade,; requiring. extensive pumping to lift the raw sewage; into the plant headworks.`' .Tertiary treated effluent at this iite would be discharged to Deer Creek CI)annel requiring an approximate' 0004001; extension 'of the outfal ,line when. comparid to the preferred RP-4 site. The majority of the environmental issues and concerns associated with Site 2 are similar', to the preferred site with the following exceptions. Flooding The western boundary of Site .2 is adjacent to the Day Creek Flood Control Channel." The southwest portion of the site is subject to inundation by a 100-year flood for the Day Creek. Full improvement of Oe Day Creek Channel is, hawever, underway and is scheduled for completion during 1991. Upon completion, Site 2 will not be subject to flooding under i00'-year storm conditions, mitigating this potential site-related impact. Natural Resources < Selection of Site 2 for,the construction of RP-4 would result in the long-term increase in the consumption of energy resources when compared to the preferred RP-4 site. 7 Diversion of wastewater from the Etiwanda Trunk Sewer to the site would result in diversion piping reaching a depth of approximately 30 feet as it approaches the plant site. The required "lifting" of pumping of the wastewater to the plant site would necessitate the construction of. a large lift station and/or the construction of a force main diversion sewer. When compared to the 'preferred RP-4 88-41-385-01 Section 4.0: 7 coavua.Emrtronm«ttai w.� ,• �1) site, the requited lifting of the sewage to the plant`headworks would be,approximately 25 feet greater. Siting the RP-4 project at Site 2 would result in the long-term additional consumption of energy resources, when compared to the preferred site. Addi Tonally, project costs would increase significantly due to the necessity of constructing a large lift station and diversion sewer. , Consequently, .the site is considered environmentally and economically inferior to the prr"arred site. l 4.2.3 Site 4 Altemative Site 4 is located east of Etiwanda Avenue'within the Kaiser Steel complex. The 30-acre site would be located on the northernmost portion of an existing 164-acre parcel. The site is located immediately east of the SCE transmission tower corridor a south of the MWD Upper Feeder right-of-way. Existing surrounding ` land uses include the CHO Food Can Decorating (facility to the north, the SCE utility corridor and the East Etiwanda Creek drainage Swale to the west, the unimproved San Sevaine Channel to.the east and to the south, a large building which was part of previous Kaiser Steel operations. The building and associated pa king/storage area is currently utilized by at.least two different firms. The J.B. Hunt Trucking Firm utilizes a portion of the build ig and parking area, and the Foothill Transit system utilizes the parking area for bits storage. The City �,f Fontana is currently,in the process of developing ,a- Specific k'!an for the Kaiser Steel Complex. As currently proposed, the Specific Plan is,recommending industrial uses within the area adjacent to and inclLiing the potential alternative plant site. As such, the land uses within the currently proposed Specific Plan shom-'d not have a significant effect on the viability;of this potential alternative site. The diversion of the raw wastewater from the Etiwanda 'trunk sewer to Site 4 would require the construction of an approximately �� 88-41-385-01 Section 4..0: 8 convema EnWOOMOW wr..t 120Q-foot long pipeline. Tertiary treated effluent from the plant would be :discharged to the Deer Creek Flood Control Channel, �{ increasing the construction length of an outfa11 i ine.,•by approximately 1500 feet when compared to the preferred RP-4 sits. As with Site 2, the environmental issues and concerns at Site 4 and the preferred site are substantially similar except with respect to flooding and natural resources. flood• Me site is currently subject to flooding from 100- and 500-year storms occurring for both the East Etiwanda and San Sevaine;drainage channels. Flooding along the East Etiwanda'Creek would be limited to the western edge of the plant site, Inundation by a 500-Year flood along the San Sevaine Channel would cover approximately the eastern one-half'uf the site. A 100-year flood would inundate approximately the eastern quarter oi he plant site. Improvements along the East Etiwanda Creek and the San Sevaine Channel are in the pl4nning stages. At this time, however, project scheduling and funditig sources are tentative. Given the extent of the flooding potential along the eastern portion of the site, it is likely that either the site elevation would need to be increased above flooding levels or that some upstream improvements along San Sevaine Creek would be required as part of the project. Natural Resources Site 4 drains from the northeast to the southwest. As .a result, existing site drainage patterns would create potential design difficulties in the plant's hydraulic profile. To overcome the- hydraulic gradient, three basic alternatives would be available: extensive site re-grading; construction of the diversion sewer from : the Etiwanda Trunk to the northeast corner of the site; or maintaining existing site drainage patterns and increase the deph r - of the unit process basins moving west to east. Rs 88-41-385-01 Section 4.0: 9 i 'convem E.mko"Menu Wat d The siting of the RP-4 project at Site 4 would result' in the increased;long-term usage of;energy resources to Meet additional pumping requirements. Vhen compared to the preferred RP-4 site the estimatsr=additional lifting of se�age to the plant headworki is approximately 7 feet. Furthermore,, the diversinn if the raw sewage , to thesite, the extension of the outfali eiriuent discharge line and the incorpoxatioa of provisions to*itigate site-related flooding problems would result in additional .project-rolated costs..' Thus, Site 4 is . considered inferior to the ,preferred site, both environmentally and economically'. t I f 1 88-41-385-01^,� Section 4.0t 10� , 6anwersa�nvka�±manW 1Vod � ID C1 f � � 4.3 Provide Additional Capacilty at RP-1 The provision,of additional full treatment capacity at.RP.-4-for RP=4 service area demands woold be,limited by the physical constraints the site and process _rain.' According',to,the CBMWD; previous estimates identified the ultimate physical capacity,of the.RP-1 site' at 96 mgd.. However, based upon'recent analysis, the estimated RP- ( {` 1 s.ite capacity may, instead•be in the range of only 60',to 70 mgd.: The reduction of the-site ctlpacitd:,df 96 mgd to 60 to 70 mgd,is due to the additional aeration oasin' vob-ima needed., to 'meet the anticipated SARWQCB discharge,limits for ineroanic nitrogen.

The.existing.liquid treatment facilities at RP include preliminary treatment primary treatment; �secondary treatment utilizing the activated sludge pracessy and effluent filtoation and disinfection. The sludge handling facilities include gravity thickening of primary sludge, OAF units far thickening waste activated sktdge,. anaerobic digester, and_belt pi ass dewatering. The. solids Processing recycles would be returned to aeration basins for treatment.

The;.estimated site opacity impact from processing,RP-4 sol i43 at ';04•would be to reduce the overall RP-1;site—capacity by about 4 mgd. Addition y the treatment of RP-4 solids at RP-1 would result in;increased RP-, effluent levels for total dissolved solids (TDS). From an operational standpoint, it is anticipated that less efficient solids removal will occur in the RM primary clarifiers than would have taker place at RP-4. ,As a result, BOW loadings on the RP-1 secondary treatment facilities Are likely to In The thickening characteristics of the solids front RP-4 are, 'ilso ��.anticipated to be poorer, resulting in more difficult operation'ofj solids processing facilities at RP-1. , As previously noted, the introduction of RP-4 solids at RP-1 will result in the increased concentration of total dissolved solids(TDS) in the RP-1 effluent.

This represents an insignificant increase. ' over the project,forecast at_120,74.-rip ends per day (refer'to Table 3.10-3). This small amount of,increased, traffic would not affect the .project impiet'assessment contained in Section 3:10. Risk of U se jan Hea t tLi� 1 h The alternative 'chemicals under consideration would require less- . complex safety systems and equipment within the plant.. They'are also easier to store—and feed. Because of the nature of t4i chemicals, when compared to the use of gaseous chlorine and sulfur dioxide, the potential risk of upset and.'risk to human health would be reduced. meter - Both of the alternaie'chemical feed systems produce solutions of water and chemical which are fed to the>appropriate locations at the contact basin. Both types of chemicals increase the chloride -and sulfate content of the plant effluent which, in turn, increases the total dissolved,Solids (TDS). ' The use of sodium hypochlorite and sodium bisulfite, however, also increases the sodium content in the plant effluent. This sodium increase is estimated to be on the order of 13 to 22 mg/l or an increase of '13% to 22% over the anticipated effluent .sodium level of approximately 100 mg/1 if, chlorine and sulfur dioxide were used.

An odor assessment has been included as Section 3.3.3.3 of.this DEIR. . Analysis of existing and future projects in the affected vicinity of RP-4 r indicated the,following: 1. The West Vallev-Detention Center (WOC), adjacent to 'RP4 and now under construction, is scheduled for completion on December 3, 1990, although,, actual completion is more likely to occur in Spring., 1991 (Graybeal) 1990), Impacts associated with the operation;of "that facility are found in the p Final EIR (Converse Environmental Consultants California, 1988). 2. Projects identified within the adjacent unincorporated area during the preparation of WVDC EIR'have either been suspended'by their proponent or, denied by the County. This includes the Kaiser Industrial Taste Treatment Facility on San' Bernardino -Avenue, and several housing develepments, t proposed to.the north of the RP-4 site on Etiwanda.' 3. The Etiwanda Pipeline and Power Plant, proposed by the Metropolitan Water District (MWD), will commence construction on the following schedule (Ryan, 1990): Pipeline Construction .. .. . June 1990 to December 1992 Reservoir/Power Plant Construction July 1990 to July 1992 The southern terminus of the pipeline portion of the proposed MWD project is located approximately 1,500 feet north of the.northern boundary of the RP•4 site, The MWD power plant is to be located at the northwest corner, of Etiwanda Avenue and Arrow Highway, about one mile north of the RP-4 site. 4.

BACKGROUND f The Cities of Rancho Cucamonga and Fontana are growing areas, with a,' numberof approved and planned residential, industrial, and commercial developments coming on line in the early 1990s. This development wi.11 bring an increased need foradditional wastewater treat ent'�4pacity. The Chino'Basin 'Municipal. ` Water District (CBMWD) is -the area's' main 'provider of wastewater treatment/dis•posal,servicesi The CBMwO commissioned' a technical'Jand','economic t feasibility study in 1984 to determine the viability of constructing a waste-" water reclamation facility to„provide wastewater tre gent ,and reclamation to the northeastern,Portion of thdcBMWD service'.area The:study :copcluded that. the project merited development (Murk Engineers, Inc., March,, 1984). In 19875 the CBMWD-purchased a 28-acre land parcel located at4the-southwest corner of Etiwanda Avenue and 6th Street in the City of Rancho`Cucamonga for the future siting of a wastewater reclamation facility designa:ed as CBMWD Regional Plant No. 4 (RF-4). r II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION It Study Area: The RP-4 study area is located in the northeastern portion of the Chino Basin Municipal 'dater District, and includes portions,, of the cities of Rancho _Cucamonga and Fontana. The sewer service area for'RP-4 covers .an. approximate _ '3-square- mile `(22,345 acres), area located generally `north of Foothlil Boulevard. The area contains portions of both the�Cucamonga County Water E District (CCWD), provider of water and sewer service to the City,of Rancho ' Cucamonga, and the City of Fontana sewer service areas. Within the RP-4 service-area, the CCWD provides wastewater collect-:.an for approximately 7,64. '" acres, while the City of Fontana serves about .8;800 acres The'sewer service area boundaries are shown oil Figure 1. w ri Converge mtronmentaf Consultants Cafifomis rti Water purveyors in the study area include two major water service agencies. The CCWD serves the City of Rancho Cucamonga', some unincorporated areas, and part of the City of Ontario: The Fontana. Water Company and the nontana Union Water Company _provide retail and wholesale water'deliveries to,,the City of Fontana and areas predominantly east of Etiwanda. h Service Area Needss Land use Within the RP-4 servi_ce area is primarily;retidQntial, although some commercial and ""industrial land uses are pianned,_"�, All °commercial . and industrial users. contribut* wastewater•to the RP-4 facil_ity.wiii be required to meet 'discharge' standards .established by the sewering �geney and .CBt4W0. These standards. are established to e%nsure that Wastewater, originating from; incoming industrial- 1and commercial ,operations will- have strengtf� character istics permitting treatmen ub t at CBMWD facilities and"ssequent reuse Table 1 summarizes the plarined future• land uses within the service area: Applying residential densities off:between 2.8"and "3:5 persons per dweU�ng unit to these use categories,translates into .a combined population projection of between 191,100 and 212,800 for.the service area at build-out. These population projections, together with unit flow fa�tors,,.Were utilized` to determine ultimate'wastew ate r"flows"frtm the service area into the proposed ; RP-4 plant. With an allowance, for "=n service area contingent changes boundaries,, change densities -or land uses, and bother factors; it °eis estimated that the average ultimate flow from the service area through the pla it would be between,26 and 28 mullion gallors per day; (mgd},, " Project Site i cation and Associated Land Ases: The- ro osed;RP-4 facility Would be located in.the,City of Rancho"Cucamotlga on,,., T P P . the southwest corner of Etiwanda Avenue and 66 Street (see Figures"2 and"3). The site is in an area that has been changing from one that" was formerly vinicultural 'in use to one that is general and heavy industrial -ln nature The.site itself is presently being`-utilized"as a vineyard, aI though".it�ap-pears to be in.a deteriorating state. li �r Y 21 . \ 88-41-385-01 nsulVpts'Calit canversv E.mr''ronminial Cd _= Adjacent land uses include the SCE'Etiwanda Generating Station to the north; a major 5=;.,ie power transmission corridorrto the east; beyond which lies the Kaiser Steel and California Steel facilities-and associated large slag dump; •h the County of San Bernardino`West Valley Detention`Center (under ionstruction) to the south: and several large industrial/warehouse facilities to the west:. The ,lest Valley,;8etentiari Center, is designed to house 1,105, inmates' at•.100` '' percent capacity; the peak staffing-level is estimated to' be .170."persons within the facility. Total maximum population within the:facility, ther6fore, 'would be 1,276 persons. .- Project Description, c.. The proposed RP-4 project includes the construction.., 'of a_. wastewater`' reclamation facility at: t4'28=acre CBMWID rsite and an' outfall 'ptpeline to,.° discharge eftluent from the facility. Main discharge points for the treated effluent incIt;de either the Deer Creek; ­ or the Day Creek Channel options, as illustrated in Figure`4, The,alignments for both options proceed south from, rom the plant site, .paralleling Etiwanda Avenue until they reach 4th Street, where they both Turn west, parailelin2 4th" Street. The discharge point for the. Day .Creek option would be located approximately.3.5 miles west of EOianda Avenue, cohere the creek crossw.4th Street, near Turner Avenue. If the Deer Creek alignment is selected as the preferred ,outfall` route, Day , Creek would be considered .as its alternate discharge point, If the Day.Creek alignment is selected as the preferred outfall route, on ,Et,iwanda `Creek would be considered as its alternate discharge point. The designation of ouch alternate discharge points is at the request of ,the San Bernardino County Flood Control District to allow for periodic. channel maYrttenance and repair,. FA The RP-4 facility will', be designed to meet Title .22, requirements for unrestricted body contact , for recreational purposes •at: 'Prado. Title 22' requirements will also permit the use of the-,effluent for:landscape irrigation and 7nr_'ustria.l uses. Water reuse potential is ,being investigatcd :in a' 88-41-385-01 3 _ cpaverst Environmental consultantp tallramrZv. a separate study. The "CBMWD is in the process of updating, the Chino: Basin � Wastewater Reclamation Plan.

The property is in 'a relatively natural condition., traversed by a minor ephemeral drainage course. Prior oss of the property has been primarily, agricultural - as a grape vineyard. Development of the site w1ll,'Aecesa Late some grading. Accordingly, some changes to the ;"geolagi& suostructure as well "as ,topographic-.,.and ground surface relief features would result from site grading,activities. Develop- ment of the property would not result in unstable .earth conditions. The site does not contain any unique geologic or physical features. During grading activities associated with proposed site development, earth materials would be:. oxcayated acid/or placed to achieve design grades. Compac�'ion of earth materials would occur during site 'wading activities. During construction and grading activities, some wind and water �_ pion of try soil may occur. In the event that the discharge point for treated-effluent 'is at an a:li6ed flood control channel, the potential exists for changes in,,-,deposition or erosion which cotild impact the chanr_l of a river.. As with most areas of southern Cali�oornia,'the prspased plant site-is situated n a se;smi cal'ly active area. fi3oder,ate to strong ground sha Bing resulting from earthquake activity associated with active faults in t4-e region should be anticipated during the design: life of the.plant,",The proposed plant site is- not located within a State of Califtrnia'A quist-Priolo Special Studies ,Zone for active or potential?y active fauits.

': E$-41-38641s Gonrar EnvifotEtst¢3i681 consulianta calatomia Plant and Animal Life: The construction and operation of the RP-4 'facility is hot expected to adversely impact any sensitive plant and animal life. This conclusion is based upon' 1988 environmental study conducted for the development of .the County of San Bernardino West Valley'Detention Center.(SCH 87110916), situated' immediately to the south and adjacent'to the proposed RP-4 facility (refer to Figure 3) The RP-4 site is presently being utilized to grow grapes, although it,,appears 9 PPears that the vineyard is in a state of deterioration. the proposed project would ' result in'the elimination of this vineyard from production. Noise Construction and operation of the proposed plant may result in an Increase in' amb;ent noise levels in the immediate vicinity, due to the inherent-nature of those activities. Light and Glare: The proposed plant will be in operation on'a 24-hour basis and, as,,a result, equipment/safety and area lighting will. be uI silile from outside the site. However, lighting levels will be relatively 'low and can be mitigated through pUcement, proper reflector selection, and landscape,;.screening. Land Use:• 'This site is located in the City of Ranchp Cucamonga and its•developmeoi. is` governed, in part, by the land use controls set forth in that city�;r: Industrial Area. Specific Plan. A 'Condit cnal Use Permit (CW will be obtained from the city for the construction and operationjif the proposed RP-4 facility, alt),,ough such a permit is not required if the Fpard of Dirpr.ars 'of the CgMWO declares the project exempt.. Natural ResourLas; The oroposed Pnc' lity would not create a significantly increased dvwand for or use of any natural resources.

During operation, of tblil�iP-4 %} J J, 88--41 385-01 zg ;; nvetsaf!' ��nnfotC4rteuttapidCitac ty i1 facility, fuel and chemicals would be consumed.,as Ya part of the treatment process. Risk of Upset: The plant may use chlorine and sulfur dioxide as a method''of disinfectiorT. - w5ich could pose a potential'hazard. As ia, any treatment plant,}there is-the, potential that 'a flammable of. toxic material could be discharged to the treatment plant from within the service area via the conveyance system tsewerj, resulting in a fire or disruption of the ,process and subsequent violation .of, the NPDES permit. Population and Housing The project would be built and expanded in response 'to the population and housinggrowth g projected by the",various governmental ;jurisdictions_ in the service area. I As such, the oroject will induce: neither population growth nor increased housing demand. Transportation/Circulation: The increase in truck traffic during plant operation could have an impact upon- traffic operations and safety on the. street system servnn the-.site. There could also be short-term impacts. during the construction omi the facility and, outfall lines. . during the operational phase of the plant, some additional enerate traffic wou'�J be generated from employees,.- p f rom periodic deldeliveryof,treatment fiZ chemicals, and from removal of dewatered sludge. , Public Services: The proposed project will not create the need �ror expanded publrc^services , except, perhaps, for road maintenan e .on stree-',Is where widening is required by the city, for the, preparation ,of disaster preparedness plans by .affected agencies in the lc"cal area, and for the response to emergency situations which- might occur during. the operation of the project. _ ;j Energy: i, Operation or the proposed facility wo'�jld result in 'Lhe incrgiased !';ise of energy. Use of digester gas for co-generation would -reduce 'the facaizty's power re0irements. OCsnvess0 MIVIrot�mental Consu,Itants C&IINMis i Utilities:,' The project would improve the existing syste7 of gonveyance and wastewater treatment to accommodate population growth. !t woul,d result in the'disposal -of dewatered :.?udge. Current plans call for its removal, by an independent contractor, Storm Hater drainage facilities could be impacted by the -tCse, of an existing flood control channel for discharge and conveyance of treated effluent. ,omar. Health-- As discussed-earlier under "Risk of Upsetll the RP4 plant may use chlorine and sulfur dioxide as a method of disinfection. Poten+'ial human healt;t issues' may arise if these materials or any other toxic air, emissions ct-eated as a result of sludge aeration processes and subsequent volatilization escape the plant processes. The ¢lant would be designed, constructed, and operated in ° confcrmance with Federal and State of California, occupational health and safety codes and applicable AQMD regu;ations An emergency response � preparediess plan would be written and-impl6mented to 'handle no'r-routin,: 'P operational events. Aesthetics: There are no specific scenic vistas or views associated with.the site'. The area is generally level' with some views from public rights-ivf-way available. Nevertheless, architectural design for the various functional elements `.of•the plant would be such so as to minimize obtrusive and aesthetically offensive structures. In addition, a landscape plan would be prepared so that areas of the plant exposed directly to public view would be screened. The landscape design would conform 'to the requirements of the. City of Rancho Cucamonga Industrial Area Specific Plan. Recreation: The proposed •project would not impact any recreational facilities nor alters\ any recreational opportunities or experiences. Cultural Resources: A cultural resources investigation was undertaken to determine the presence of any cultural remains of significance; None were Identified as a result of a; 88-41-38541 2!

The RP-4 site itself has .been designated as "local paint;' Oi historic interest" because of the former presence of the Etiwar.da Grape,Products Winer,,.; structure on the property. In recognition of this, flie`GBMW1x has indicated that it will install a 'commemorative plagt;2' on''the pr+)perty identifying it as, the former site of the,vJ nery. Mandatory Findings of Significance: r, The proposea r.r0ject. is an, urban-type far irty to be located in an, urban setting where .;and uses are changing from an agricultural orientation° to an industrial character. As noted,.earlier, no substantiation exists- for. a+y impacts to plant or animal ` life 'Wic'ept the .reauction of''agricultural acreage), oe c�tl Ural resources. Long-#erm environmental goals of meeting an increased need for additional wastewater ireatmeat`capacity would be met with the project, even though 'there are short-Le4\impacts associated with construction and potential impacts _of upset Cond1'.ions resulting rrem a' chemical spill or toxic release. Sdcb upset conditions, in. the remote; possibility that they were to;occur, could have an adversei effect upon human beings in tb6 area, particularly in the'Miacent West Valley Detention Center. Mitigation'measures related to reducing air, noise,;�wa ;r quality lighting and glary, traffic,„ risk of upset, human health,, and esthetics impacts would be factored into the design, 'construction, and operations stages (cf the Project- As a result, residual impacts would not be cumulatively considera)le. } >- l - r _ rl, 88-�41-385-01 Canume 6VIMnMente Canautunta CAIRO Mts ° v r;; -i 4,J ti> JJJ t/ APPENDIX B� CDN�4iE \ FROM INITIAL STUDY Ix •r �'' 88-4I-385•DI � ~ {CanvsrwtEnvtrohmanW6Vsse �� Stan OF CAUFc RN1A- oFf=of THE GoyERNQR GEORGV AEII E11AN Gmemor is bFF10E OF PLANNING A RESEARCH p�n SACRAMENTO, 'UT 95814 ; 's ( •'.• u .�....ut- +• �. r4Tu• September 27, 1989 et-7 31999 TO' Reviewing Agencies WAMBUISTIMOT GHt�1J�,ii;a MUIMCiPAL RE The Qito Basin Municipal Water District's NOP for the Regzanal Plant Nc�4 Wastewater'Reclamation Plant SCHrra 890k510 Attached for your comment is'the Chino 3Basiat1unicipal Water District Rs:Notice of"Preparation of a draft Env:ranemgt.al Impact Report (EIR)'for the gegionil Plant No, 4 Watewater-Reclamation Plant Project.

I will be as succinct as possible in the following comments/concerns of=`operating such a facility m such close proximity to+the West Valley Detention Center(WVDC). L'cahhtin�Lev�els-It is assumed that the RP-4 facility will operate 24 hours per day. During nighttime operations the flood of light into the northeast and eastern exposed housing units may cause signifiLant inti rnuption of inmate sleep. Perhaps trees or other screening devices could be employed.. s Odors -Although the prevailinq winds ere from the southwest,-a large - percentage of airflow travels tom the northeast,placing the inmates and staff of the WVDC in direct receipt of offensive digester odors. Whether, or not these odors are also indications of toxic substances is really beside l the point. The odors are certainly perceived as being offensive and 4 possibly toxic- This situation adds to the unrest and agitation that is responsible for inmate misbehavior. Gasses(Toxic)-Similar to the odor issue above,it is also recognized that some toxic gasses are not so easily detected in the air, but are. nevertheless deadly,especially to immobile inmates. S iJLlls-Past experience has demonstrated that,for one reason or ,another,';, sewage treatment plants are far from spili-proof. Such spills/dumpings i cause a great deal of concern for WVDC inmates and staff. A great deal' of care must be taken to protect the WVDC facility from exposure to such spills. Mark Kinsey October 12,�1989` Page 2 f - Toxic Materials-Whether spilled or used in processing'of waste material, , RP-4 toxic materials,represent a significant threat to individual safety at the WVDC. Even whei operatm,g within the guidelines for handling and use of toxic materials,mishaps occur. Some protocol must be developed for notificatir')n to WVDC personnel,in the-event of such a mishap. The above comments represent our major concerns related to locating the RP-4 facility so close to the.WVDC. Although the-normal RP4,operation may Involve fear N. or none of these,the 24 hour nature of both operations increases.the possibility of an incident. Most or all or these concerns can be effectively addressed,and we offer our services to confer and help develop mutually agreeable mitigation measures Si rely, Doug Graybeal Project Administrator,Moo DG:va cc:• Phil Danna. i f �l t COUNTY 0 SAN EERNARDIN k_",_ ���\TI#i(�/ �I I QNMENTAL S{�LID `WASTE 11�ANACEMENT ®EP!'RTMENT Q 'V1.

Dear Mr. Kinsey; ,a The City of Fontana has reviewed your Notice of Preparation of a Draft environmental Impact Report for Regional Plant No.. 4 Wastewater Reclamation Plant. The City has the following concerns which need to be addressed; 1. The land uses around the project site are currently industrial however,,the Kaiser Steel and California Steel facilities are under,annexation procedures to. the city of Fontana with a Specific Plan which incluldes residential uses. Therefore., the issue of objectionable odors from the propossed project needs to be fully t explained. k , 2. In view of the possibility that residents may be located in the immediate vicinity of the project, the issue of the release of toxic air emissions is"of concern_ to the city. , 3. As the land uses in the area-may not -all be industrial, the aesthetics of the project should be, � completely covered. We look forward to reviewing the draft SiR for the project.

County, California. The objectives of this study were to locate, record, and evaluate significant archaeological and historical resources within the project area., significance is evaluated according to the criteria; set forth. _ by the California Environmental Quality fi:t (CEQA) and, the Vational Historic 60 Preservation Act, 36 CFR ` . ` The assessment included an `,archaeological and "blstorical review:.• of the California Archaeologio l Inventory (CX ) records housed" at the San Bernardino County Museum, a review of the pertinent literature, and a systematic on-foot surface survey of the subject property. , CRT records showed no previously recorded archaeological �) reRc;ices on Ithe property. The,, on-foot surface survey was undt_-y.eaken to identify and record any significant cultlural- resources that might exist within the property boundaries. As a result of 'thiw investigation, no 'significant cultural resources were located and it is recommended that no further archaeological investigations be required prior to approval of the proposed development of the subject property. it, however, dicing the process of development, any archaeological resources are observed, a qualified arcna(+ol.ogist should be consulted for further evaluations. h , •, 41 t 2 INTRODUCTION At the request of Sally L, Higman, of Higman DoehL,? Incorporated *n Los Ang- les, 'California, Research Associates conducted an arc:haeologi.:al assessment of 27 acre$ of ;:and designated the y Chinc Basin Municipal Water District , Regional F`lant No. 4 Project. This land is located southwest of the iner tsection of 6th street and Etiwanda Ave in the City of Rancho C..ucamonga;. This assessment included an archaeological and historic records search at the San Bernardino ' Connty Archaeological' Information Center, a literature review, and oa-foot surface survey. The subject grope ay is, located in the eastern 1/2 of Section ij, T. 1S, R. 6W, SBBM, as, shown'on the Guasti, Cal::f,,< 7'.5' series An V.S.G.S. quadrangle (Fig. 1). the street adds>ess of the property is 9370 Etiwanda Ave., Rancho Cucamonga-, CA. Proposed use of the project area inc`udes the construction and use of a 27-acre wastewater reclamation facility with au, estimated ultimate wastewater flow' capacity of apprw,-I::ately' 22 mill ion gallons per day. The purpose of this study is to satisfy the requirements of. the San Bernardino County,' Planning Commission with regard to the identification, evaluation, ;and protecti on of ' signf_c ant archaeological and .historical resources on lands proposed for development. _ The study was conducted in accordance rto the requirements and guidelinros of the California Environmental Quality Act Jrevised 1984). ENVIRONMENTAL SETTIVO The study area is located approximately 10 miles (13 km) south of the San Gabriel Mountains in southwestoru San Bernardino County and is part of a sandy alluvial plain built up fz .;. .naterials eroded from these moun+ainse Elevations on the property,range fromtapproxii4ately 108ol (329 m) in the.south to approximately 1090 ' (332 m) in the north allowing for a gentle north-to-south downward downward slope. The climate of the region T g typical of csmontaYze southern. California and is classifi ,. as Mediterranean, or "summer-dry subtropical" y p' (Bailey 1966�. .Characteristics of this climate are a dry, warm, or hct summer and .a relatively mild,: wet winter: Total annual rainfall seldom exceeds 25.6 . in (65 cm), with mast of the precipitation occurring from January to April. Neither seasonal nor perennial natural hater sources or drainages were identified on the property. However, ; relatively large seasonal water courses running southerly from the San Gabriel ; Mountains are located eastra)id west of the property. - _ t t} 3'.

The native: vegetation would have been represented primarily by the Coastal Sage :scrub plant community (Munz and Keck 1949, 1950) Species of this plant community important to the aboriginal inhabitants of the study region included buckwheat (Hrzaaonum. sPp ) coastal Sagebrush (A_rtdmesia califarnica) xi • blz,ck sage (Salvia mellifera), and white sage (S. others — a iariaj among ' Daring prehistori and , early historic times the local farnal community would have provided several important food resources such as Iagomorphs (e.g., cottontails jSYlvilaaus audobaa and jackrabbits ;[ke us californica]), an assortment of rodents and, reptiles, upland birds (e..g., quail [I.oahart!ir sp,r) , mule deer j (Odocoileus hemionus), ' and pronghorn antelope j m lcca deer Americana). During the on-foot survey of the nroje¢t area, several ce"tontails and jackrabbits were .observed. 1: SUMMARY OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE Prior to the field`invaa i7ation, a records search was conducted July 5, 1989, at the San Bernardino Archaeological Information Centc.r'located at the' San Bernardino county Museum, Redlands, JJ California. Sources consulted at the Information center included the site records of the California Archaeological Inventory (CAI), area-specific survey reports, general area overviews, the National Resister of . Historic Places, California Inventory of rnia Historical Landmarks Historic Resources (DPR' 1976), Califo (DPR 1982), and"the Iayentory`of Historic is Hi ores. Based on these searches, the Information Center su was a " moderate caa-sre there i probability o$ locating` historical resources (structures older than 50 years and historical archaeological resources older than 100 years) on the subject property. The following recommendations were made by the information Center: 1) to conduct an on-foot field survey of the subject, property to look for historical structures, historical .archaeological resources, and prehistoric resources; and, ! 2) to establish the 2 4: icance and integrity, of cultural resources identified frc:i the field survey, if any, and to n 5" propose appropriate mitigation measures through an environment 11 impact review. CULTURE HISTORY Human populations have occupied southern California fo: at least 12,000 years. The earliest sites can be grouped together into an Early Hunting Stage (12,000-8,500 B.P._ [years before present]) and are represented by sites of the San Dieguite and 'Lake Mojave types. IThese sites a_e characterized by leaf-shaped and sometimes fluted projectile , points, crescents, core ti'ols, scrapers, and choppers. The total absence of milling tools in these sites suggests hunting was a major subsistence activity. i Marked increases in plant exploitation and population size signal the onset of the Early Millingstone Stage ,(8,500-5,000 $.P.). Typical artifact assemblages consist of manos and.: metates in large amounts, choppers, and scraper planes. Projectile points are very uncommon. in-place adaptations to various and local ec:oloyical niches and increased population growth ' typify the Regional Specialization Stage (5,000-300 B.P.). ` This period saw; the introduction of the bow and arrow and pottery ° making c:,rca 900' B.P. In southern California, a heavy dependence on both hunting and gathering of wild plant foods continued into the historic period (reighan' 1978:233-237). The aboriginal occupants of the study area were he Cupan speaking Gabrielino Indian `people. The Cupan language is assigned to tiie Takic language family which is part o•L- the Southern California branch of the Uto-Aztecan (Shoe-hanean) language stock. The name "Gabrielino" is derived, from the Spanish mission named San Gabriel under whose influence the Gabrielino Indians fell during the historic period. Gabrielino territory has been divided by ethnographers into four environmental zones: Prairie, Exposed Coast, Sheltered Coast, and InteriorMountains/Adjacent Foothills (Bean and Smith 1978). While the exact boundaries. of the Gabrielino territory are unknown, the general- area of occupation included the San ' Clemente, San Nicholas, and'Santa Catalina islands, the watershed of. the Los Angeles, San 'Gabriel, and much of the Santa Ana rivers, and: all of the ao�Lstal area from Aliso Crcaek north ' to Topanga Creek. These areas included several biotic communities on the-islands and, coastal. areas. as well' as in the interior mountains and foothills (Hudson Bean and Smith (1978) suggest the Gabrielino first came?to'the Los Angeles basin ca. 500 B.C. r i 6 Because so little is known of the Gabrielino, their ,socio- political organization can be discussed only in I'general terms'. They. probably had 'a moiety system similar, to other ^2kic speakers. in southern California and may have had a tripartite social hierarchy consisting of an elite, a middle class, and commoners. Villages were apparently'g politcalIy autonomous and were- often composed of segmentary non'-localized 'lineages each ;with its own leader. These lineages were broken down into smaller grouts that were subsistence oriented toward seasonally availabl"e.resources'. Because of the diverse biotic environs available, the seasonal round would have included both marine and terrestrial resources. The Gabriel r•_, were contacted by the. Spanish as early, ao.1542 when Juan Rodriquez. Cabrillo anchored at Santa Cataiina Island, However, substantial Spanish influence was not felt until the late;1700s when colonization'.began. The AisenteSration of the aboriginal lifestyle and population redtecti.on began when Mission San Gabriel was established 'in 17i1. kt this time, the closest known xndian`settlement ` to ;-the study area was a village on Cucamonga Creek -approximately five miles to the northwest. The Spanish called'the general study area "Cucamonga,1°. which was probably a Shoshonean word meaning' "sandy place (Black 197b:xvi). By 1900, tbi,rough introduced disease, relocation, and general "hardships, the wisappearance of the aboriginal lifestyle was almost complete. Ethnographic literature,-concerning the Gabrieftno can be,found in Kroeber (1925), Johnston (19,62), Hudson '(1969, 1971ti, and Bean and Smith (1978). The San Gabriel mission, with thousands 'of , cattle, sheep, and horses, was the richest of all Californ:4 missions, This livestock attracted Indian raiders - from the 'high desert (Black 1975:xvii). Because of these raids, the spanish.attempted to consolidate their hold on San Bernardino - Valley and the strategically located Cajon` Pass. '- Eventually this led to the establishment of a stock ranch in San Bernardino in 1.810 and an "asistencia" in 1819 :(Smith and, Lereh 1981:-6; Black 1975.vi) The Cucamonga area became an important .landmark" and'way-station between San Bernardino and the growing, settlement of Las Angeles. In 1834, the California missions were secularized by the recently formed Mexican republic. . The Mexican government, parceled out the missions' holdings as land grants throughout the 1830s, and 1840s. Cucamonga, described as a mission stock ranch by a French traveler in the early 1800s, was considered a part of the mission ranch cystem and was abandoned -by 1839 (Beattie and` 'aseatt e 1951:139-144). In-that year, the area was granted to T 3 rtz-ci'o Tapia, mayor of Los Angeles, by Governor Alvarado. `. Tapia built an adobe house on Red Hill where he Moved'�to before his death in 1845, Although he suptiorted himself' with cattle, he also a 7' established a small vineyard adjacent to the 50-acre, wooded area located at the base of Red ''Hill (Beattie and Beattie 1951:139; 143). According to the terms of Alvarado's grar:4 Tapia was to receive three leagues n? land. But in 18�,0, the land surveyor, Juan Bautista Leandry, Enlarged the parcel to .seven 1 .leagues (in collusion with Tapia) , (Black j 05:194). This survey, put the eastern boundary of Tapia's land .very close to the present study' area: Leandry began his survey where Cucamonga Creek crossed the "San Bernardino Road" ; (modern 4th street in Ontario),.. He. proceeded east about three miles where he turned a right angle to the north (Black 1975:2-96-197). The corner where he made this turn is approximately where 4th street/San,Bernardino Ave meets. Rochester Ave and 1 15 and is approximately one mile (1 7'km) west of the project area. in 1844, one year before- his death, Tapia granted.Jose Maria Valdez and his descendants the right to lime on.his Land (Beattie and Beattie 1951:143). The Valdez reside:ce was about three miles (approximately 5 '-m) northwest of Red Hill ,at the mouth of San Antonio Canyon. Trare, Valdez planted a 12 row vineyard with 47 vines in each r(w (Black 1:375:32, 257).. After California became part of the United States in-1848, a land commission was setup to <ule on the validity of existing Mexican land grants. The Tapia land grant was, invalidated by this commission in 1.85.4 because of the ,impropiety of the seven,a eague survey in 1840 (Beattie and Beattie 1951:194). In 1856, Tapia Is son-in-law succeeded in, getting back the original grant of three Leagues, which encompassed some 13,000 acres: (Black 1975:29). When surveyed in 1865 with official U.S. township and range designations, the southeastevn-most, corner of Rancho Cutamonga was located near the present intersection of 8th street and Turner Ave (Black.1975:vi,, 29). This is approximately three miles (ca. 5 km) northwest of the project area. In 1858, Rancho Cucamonq'a was sold.,tl� an anglo adventurer named John Rains. In 1859, Rains planted a large-scale vineyard with some 100,000 vineF in the vicinity of Red'Hill. By the following year, a census rooprded the vineyard to be 125 acres in size with some 5000 gallono of wiiie on hand (Feninou and Greenleaf 1967:40 42). Luiseno and Cahuilla Indians were imported on a temporary basis to do' the labor-intensive pruning at the vineyard (Black. 1975:xii, 42). In 1861, John Quincy Adams Warren visited Rancho Cucamonga and recorded a' detailed description :of the -ranch and vineyard. In.' that year, Rains' vineyard covered 150 acres and included 150,'.,00011 dines, 30,000 of which .were bearing fruit. The vineyard was, irrigated with water from Cucamonga spring adjacent to Red Hill (Black 1975:45-46). In 1862, Rains was murdered on his way to f z Los Angeles. In the years following 1870, the Cucamonga ,holdings began to break up. Vineyards increased,st the expense of cattle ranching and irrigation demands soon drained the 50-acre swamp le ranching Red Hill. in the mid-1870s Alta Lomal Onta>' io, and Etiwanda,came into existence (Mason 1985:13). 1 The Cucamonga Vineyard Company was farmed to manage the Rains vineyard'and to develop its irrigation system. By this time, the 'vineyard had grown to 650 acres (Peninou and Greenleaf 1967:41). By the turn of the century,'.the, vineyard had changed hands several . times and t;as finally subdivided in 191'7. Most of the,vines were replaced 'by citrus trees (Black 1975:262). During this time, viticulture was spreading rapidly throughout the surrounding area. Instrumental to this spread was the California Wine Association- (CWA). The ".CWA `was Iarmed:in 18:94 and twor. active until Prohibition took effect in-'1920,.(Teiser and Harroun 1983:155) Cucamonga lost its pre-eminence in wine production to the small �s town of Guasti that formed around the winery of 'S.eeundo Guasti, 3.5 miles (5.6 km) to the southeast; Guasti, an Italian immigrant, experimented ` wi-th local grapes in .the Redlands area around the end of the 19th century before moving south of Cucamonga in 1902. (Teiser and Harroun 1983:149-150). There,, he established the Italian Vineyard Company, around "which formed the gown of Guasti (now -a, part of the City of Ontario).. The Guasti winery was `completed in 1904. At its height just before Prohibition, the Guasti Vineyards encompassed 6000 acres and grew 25 varieties of grapes. It was one of the largest, vineyards' n California (Teiser and Harroun 1983:139; eSchuiling 1984:101). The project area was not cultivated, until around 1930 when Anthony Colombero and his father planted the vineyard now found on the property. Anthony had been born in the.Guasti.community and decided to branch out on his own in 1930. , n 1935 he married Madeline Galleano, and together with Anthony's :bro"her John, they* constructed the buildings of the ''Etiwanda Grape Products`'" Company in 1940 (Madeline Cal ombero, personal communication,' October 1987). These buildings were still standing in the southeast corner of the property in October 1587, but-have since been removed. Sohn Colombero laved on the property of the Et' ' Products (also known as the.Colombera tdner xwanda Grape y) There, he tended j the grapes which were mostly Zinfandel, Malaga, and -.'O'therl black .varieties. Around 1960 the Colomberos sold their.winery to Dow Chemical. Dow leased the property many times since that' date to various- individuals, including Anthony and Madeline Colombero, i of 9 who made use of . the land for the laz?. time in 1974 '(Title data provided by Stewart Title Company). RESEARCH GOALS AND OBJECTIVES-: The objectives of an archaeological, assessment are ,,.to locate, interpret, and evaluate cultural resources�' in 'a given study area. These resources include material remains and human<ahtercations' . 1 of the 'physical environment. . These resources :are identified by. the presence or significant occurrence of one or more of, the' following categories of remains (among others):, 'food waste,, fragmentary or whole tools, manufacturing waste, concentrations or alignments of stone, trails,, modifications of natural rock surfaces, soil disaolorations and[or;.its acc}vnulation and'human` skeletal remains. All 'of the above are known to exist in the - region.' The specific goal of this Environmental Impact Review.,, is to locate and evaluate all;'cultural resources iderxtifssd within the boundaries of the project area. The criteria for determining the lcwation of an archaeological site was established �'by the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) `and includes .the occurrenae' of three, or more significant artifacts , in: ,,a localized area.. The% occurrence'3f` Less than three artifac�s. ir_ a' local:ized area • is to ' bei:recorded as an isolate. Significant historical ruins must be 100 year$ or older to be ' recorded as a site according to the California Environmental Quality . Act `(CEQA), Appendix K. 'Intact structures must be 50 years of age- or older , in' order to be considered significant based on the criteria,', of the National.Register• of. Historic Places Act, 36 CFR 60. r INVESTIG.ATION 'METEODS Work performed prior to the field survey i described,above. The project area was visited by Mark'Swanson-and Stephen„Bouscaren on July 5`,, 1984. The- on-foot surface survey was conducted by Bouscaren on July 5, 1989. This survey was accomplished Ly walking north-south transects spaced approximately. 10=15 meters' , apart.,.

ADAENDUM TO CULTURAL RESOURCES SURVEY OF THE 27 ACRE PROPOSED CHINO BASIN MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT (CBMWD) REGIONAL PLANT NO. 4, IN THE CITY OF .CUCAMONGA, . CALIFORNIA t Prepared by; Mark T. Swanson Research Associates 35240 Ave. D Yucaipa, CA 92399 (714) 797-5401 This addendum to the cultural resources survey report of the 27-ache proposed Chino Basin Municipal Water District, (CBMWD) Regional Plant No. 4, in the City of Cucamonga. California (Bouscaren and Swanson.1939), has° been .prepared in light of the recovery of additional information on the significance of the Etiwanda Grape Products winery, established and run by the Colombero family and formerly located in the southeast corn;tr of this 27-acre tract_ From information provided by Secondo and Doaa Colombero, it would appear that the Etiwanda Grape Products was two decades older than was mentioned in she original survey report that .appeared in July 19g9,,. Even though the buildings were demolished before the survey". commenced, this area has beer designated a point of historical interest by the City of Rancho Cucamonga Historic Preservation Commission. For this reason, it is important to incorpo,ate this new information into our cultural resources report. The Etiwanda Grape Products winery, formerly located at 9370 Etiwanda Ave. on Assessor's Parcel Number 229-293-62, was . significant an an example of a small, .family-run winery that was once relatively common to the area- Among the structures pres�rst on the property were: a Craftsman-influenced bungalow with matching garage; a typical California barn; two industrial buildings that contained fermenting tanks; a scale house where the grapes were wei%hed and 'a small concrete structure that was, later ramrnverted into a pool house. Although -these structures no longer exist, they have been registered with the California Department c�f Parks and Recreation Historic Resourcex' Inventory and the area has been designated a point of historical interest by the terms of Resolution 88-517, passed by the city council of ` the City ofRancho Cucamonga. In the 1989 survey report, our-primary source of information on the Colom)ero winery was provided by Madeline Colombero as the result of a telephone interview+ conducted in October of 198.7. Even though she was associated with the winery, ,she did not live i there during the entire period. From itiformation provided by her, it was then ' :,lieved that the Etiwtnda Grape Products winery was not constructed until 1940 ($ouscaren and Swanson i989;8) . After discussion With Secondo Colomboro, who actually lived on the property, we were able to correct many of the unintentional errors that were put into the 1989 report. Secondo Colombcro and his wife, Dona, provided the corrected data found below. According to Secondo and Dona Cnlombero, the bungalow and garage were constructed around 1923, on the occasion of the marriage of Enes and Jahn B. Colombero, Secondo's ,)arents. Secondo himself was born on the premises in 1925, and lived there until the outbreak of World War II The first Colombero vineyards were planted in the area hound 1915,,almost a decade before the house and garage were acastructed. In the 1920s, Prohibition was Li effect, which explains why the operation was called "Etiwanda Grape Products" and not "winery." The Colomberos produced grape Osyrup, which did not violate the 18th Amendment,, even though the syrup was usually sold to persons who weca not so scrupulou.i. In addition to their official productiox: of grape syrups the Colomberos had a tunnel between the house and the garage cci\ich often served as a winery, Etiwanda Grape Products prospered, and the. building of additional support facilities began even before the end of Prohibition. With the repeal of the 18th Amendment in 19�3, Etiwanda Grape Products became an public winery. It is believed that most of the structures associated with the operation were btt7.lt by the _ mid-1930s. Among these structures were the two industrial building, that contained the fermantng tanks, the scale house where the grapes were weighed W-,Lch was added on to the garage} , and the small concrete structure that was originally a gauger's weight room. This structure housed the Federal gauger, who would periodically visit the winery and calculate the amount of taxes owed. The gauger's weight room was constructed before the'repeal of Prohibition; it did not become a "pool house" until the swimming pool was added around 1950. John Colombero ran the establishment himself during Prohibition. After 1933, hcwevtr, he formed a partnership with his brother, Anthony, which lasted until the 1970s. John's son, Secondo, moved to San Bernardino shortly after the outbreak of, World War II. During the war, the winery continued to be operated by John and Anthony Colombe o (Madeline Colombero married Anthony in 1935, hence her relationship to the winery) . Secondo moved back to the winery after the war, and he and Dona lived on the premises until the 1960s, when the property* was sold to DOW Chemical. By this time, the center of the tolombero wine business Was .located elsewhere, and the buildings within the project area were considered supsrfluous: As this addendum, shows, Etiwanda Grape Products' had an interesting history, one .,,hat stretched back to around 1a45. it I even prospered during. Prohibition, when_grape .cultivators had to s� cut "corners an& use sub.terfv`7e to snake dads meet. This property does indeed. dsses've to be 4,e ignated a point of historieai' interest.` } Source; c Secondo and Dona Colombero " a{'" 1003 E. Balboa Blvd. f Balboa, Chi 92661 (714) 673-6372 _.

The potential project impacts during eonstructictk and at project completion were examined. ' It is estimated, that taee project Will be completed in he Year 1954 assuming some delays i` .ha approval; and construction process. An approximate two year construction period,is expected for" 'the nrcnos6d 1. ;; project.. The number of construction emplayees`is expected to vary over the construction period, similar to a "bell" shaped curve, The propoged project is expected to require a to'aL'of 200 employees during the peak : construction period, which would last,' one to two`,Wonths. Various; construction related trucks would-also be generating traffic 'E 65L EasC Qizptnap Avenue•Spite 1, Fut[tnon.California J2631 di I4187I- �31V r t r -2.. The completed project would be expected to 'employ a maximum of 35 people.' The majority.o£ people would work during; the day shift with al few during the 'evening hours. Supply trucks are expect-ad to. make deliveries at a rate .of. sbout ten per week. : Trucks for sludge removal would, serve the facility twice•a day. The proposed project 'location in relationship to;the surrounding street system is illustrated in Figure 1: EXISTING CONDITIONS Et' an a _ e.._• iw d Avenue' n has a north s th ali e nt -a and provides , .S $nm p i s two and four <I undivided lanes, north and south of the project site, 'respectively. Some portions of Etiwanda were previously improved so additional :street width exists along come sections. Full freeway access is provided at `the San Bernardino Freeway (I-10) but . not at the,'vvore Freeway (Y-15) although. an 'underpass. is provided. The I-1.5 can +be, accessed via Foothill Boulevard, 4th Street/San Bernardino Avcnuo,' and the 1_10. Existing daily traffic volumes were referenced from two previously completed studies (1) for 'projects in `the vicinity' of the proposed rroject. The roadway geometries were field :checked so the estimated capacities of the study roadways could be determined, .Table. -1 .lists the. street ,segments which were analyzed and 'presents- the existing daily traffic volumes as well as the available roadway capacity. Figure 2- also reflects the existing'daily volumes. The County of Riverside road capacities (2) vereT utilized as a gu*deline in determining the adequacy' of the study roadways. The .capacities represent the daily traffic volume limits for Level of Service (LOS) •C operations which are considered "design." conditions. The LOS values range from "A" the best, to "F" the worst with ,!!,OS E identified as the "maximum" capacity. Appendix.A contains the LOS definitions.

Table 1 shows that alt of the study street segments have axisiing,daily volumes well within the roadway capacity. In tact all of the streets carry less than half of the LOS C capaUty volumes., 1 OTHER AREA PROJECTS The analyses included impacts from other projects in the,,vicinity, of the CBKWa RP-4 proiact. This provided a pre-project base coniaition so the impae.:s of the eor.�Ztruction and operations of the proposed project could be evaluated. The two previously ref ex�'41ced-studies (3) were' used again to determine the impacts of the other area projects. It is estimated that the CBMWD RP-4 project will, be completed in Year 1994. The two previously completed studies 'contained different assumptions and analyses methodologies. This study used,information from both reports to develop, a projection of the Year 19n14-: pre-project conditions. The traffic impacts of the two ,"other" projects were Included in the year 1994 pre-project conditions. In addition, a seven. percent per year growth rato was applied to the zxisting volumes (1988: to 1994) to account for traffic from other potential developusnts which may, , be constructed and occupied prior to 1994. Table 1 which was presented earlier in this study shows the daily traffic 4 volumes for the Year, 1994 pre-project conditions.- It can,be seen that significant increases in daily ;traffic .volumes are expected but the totals ava still well within the roadway capacity,of the existing 'street '. system.
