01/24/2011 <br /> Exhibit B <br /> Impact 10e. Wastewater Treatment Capacity Impacts. The DPP could <br /> generate additional wastewater that must be processed under the set capacities <br /> allocated to Redwood City for treatment of Average Dry Weather Flow <br /> Wastewater and Peak Wet Weather Flow Wastewater at the South Bayside <br /> System Authority treatment plant. The City's current available treatment <br /> capacity is adequate to meet the estimated net increase under the DPP. In <br /> addition, because the downtown area is already developed, new development <br /> under the DPP would not result in a substantial increase in impervious <br /> surfaces and would not increase Peak Wet Weather Flow Wastewater. <br /> Therefore, the impact of new development allowed under the DPP on <br /> treatment capacity would be less than significant. <br /> Impact 10f. Storm Drainage System Impacts. No increase in stormwater <br /> runoff is anticipated for the DPP build -out scenario and, therefore, no <br /> areawide drainage system improvement needs are anticipated. Furthermore, <br /> reductions in stormwater flows could occur with increased landscaped and <br /> other DPP - facilitated enhancements that do not currently exist. Therefore, <br /> future DPP - related development impacts on storm drainage would represent a <br /> less than significant impact. <br /> Impact 10g. Construction Period Water Quality Impacts. Construction <br /> activities within the DPP area could degrade the quality of receiving waters, <br /> including Redwood Creek and San Francisco Bay. However, implementation <br /> of City, County and Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements <br /> would be expected to mitigate these impacts to a less than significant level. In <br /> addition, the DPP is a planning document that does not propose, approve or <br /> permit any new, parcel- specific development projects that could generate <br /> construction- related impacts. Until future development projects are proposed, <br /> identification and assessment of the environmental impacts caused by <br /> construction would be speculative. This impact is therefore less than <br /> significant. <br /> Impact 10h. Long -Term Water Quality Impacts. Storm water runoff from <br /> new development contemplated by the DPP could degrade water quality if not <br /> properly controlled before discharge. However, implementation of City, <br /> County and Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements would be <br /> expected to mitigate these impacts to a less than significant level. In addition, <br /> the DPP is a planning document that does not propose, approve or permit any <br /> new, parcel - specific development that could generate stormwater runoff <br /> impacts. Until future development projects are proposed, identification and <br /> assessment of the environmental impacts caused by storm water runoff would <br /> be speculative. This impact is therefore less than significant. <br /> Impact 10i. Groundwater Impacts. Redwood City does not currently use <br /> and has no plans to use groundwater as a water supply source, so future <br /> U:\Resolutions\2011\Reso 15086 Exhibit B.doc 10 <br /> 012011 Reso. # 15086 <br /> Muff #601 <br />
