Section 1. Introduction The East Pleasanton Specific Plan (EPSP) area includes Lakes I and H and Cope Lake and the areas between these lakes. The Project consists of approximately 1,110 acres,of which up to 406 acres are potentially developable. The Project is being completed by the City of Pleasanton and is one of the specific plan areas called for by the City's 2009 General Plan. According to California Water Code Section 10910(b),any city or county that determines a new development project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) must prepare a water supply assessment (WSA) if the development qualifies as a"project"pursuant to Water Code Section 10912. The City has determined that CEQA applies to the Project,and has commenced preparation of an environmental impact report. The City has determined the Project's planned non-residential building square footage of at least 1,500,000 square feet and 1,000 units requires a water supply assessment be prepared.1 If there is a"public water system"for the Project,the water supplier shall prepare the water supply assessment 2 A public water system is defined as a system that has 3,000 or more service connections and provides piped water to the public for public consumption.3 Under this definition,the City is a"public water system"as it provides piped water to the public for consumption and has more than 21,000 service connections. The City's water supply consists of 3,500 ac-ft of groundwater and wholesale treated water deliveries from Zone 7 Water Agency (roughly 80%of City annual deliveries). Because the City will provide the water supply for the Project,the City is responsible for preparing the WSA for the EPSP Project. 'See Water Code Section 10912(a)(2). The Project is a proposed business establishment having more than 500,000 square feet and has more than 500 residential units. 2 Water Code Section 10910(b),(g)(1). 3 Water Code Section 10912(c). 1 I EPSP DRAFT WSA July 2013
