d.1 Finding. Implementation of an interim solution to add 4.4 MGD to the LAVWMA system should provide sufficient wastewater capacity through 1991. d.2 Fact. The LAVWMA export capacity will be expanded to 21 MGD. d.3 Finding. Long-range project planning (new facilities ADWF capacity of 42 MGD), if implemented, would substantially lessen this impact. Mitigation measures to provide interim capacity are partially not within the jurisdiction of the City. Such mitigation measures are within the jurisdiction of other public agencies and can and should be adopted. d.4 Fact. Construction of wastewater disposal facilities is within the control of LAVWMA or other regional agencies. CH2M Hill, as consultant to LAVWMA, has recommended constructing new facilities to provide a total of ADWF capacity of 42 MGD. d.5 Finding. Developer construction of a reverse osmosis plant is presently economically infeasible. d.6 Fact. Current export cost and projected costs of expanded facilities are less than treating and disposal through reverse osmosis. d.7 Finding. The No Project Alternative, the Reduced Intensity Alternative, and the Mixed Use Alternative, which could partially mitigate the potential significant effect, are infeasible. d.8 Fact. See Section XII (infeasibility of alternatives). E. Significant Effect. Possible construction of buildings higher than current firetruck ladder capacity could impair fire protection services. e.1 Finding. The recommended mitigation measures incorporated into the Project will substantially lessen the significant fire hazard effect. e.2 Fact. Condition 7 requires that buildings which are constructed over current ladder truck capability should incorporate internal life safety fire systems standards and provide indirect access to roofs. e.3 Finding. Other fire safety mitigations are unnecessary as Condition 7 reduces the effect to an insignificant level. - 10 -
