SIGNIFICANT EFFECT Impact - Cumulative Wastewater. The additional wastewater flows attributed to development under the Specific Plan could contribute to a possible future shortfall of treatment capacity at the Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) wastewater treatment plant as well as to an impending shortfall of export capacity at the Livermore-Amador Valley Wastewater Management Authority (LAVWMA) facilities. General Plan policies call for secunng further sewage capacity for future development. The impact of the proposed project, and the City's General Plan as a whole, is mitigated by steps the City of Pleasanton, in conjunction with the City of Livermore and DSRSD as members of LAVWMA, are taking to provide for expansion of export capacity and/or alternatives that would reduce future capacity requirements. Nevertheless, if additional treatment and export capacity are not achieved, or reductions in water use cannot reduce demand for capacity to an appropriate level, development of the Specific Plan would contribute to excess demand for the available capacity in both systems. This would be considered a significant and unavoidable cumulative impact. Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including considerations for the provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the alternatives identified in the environmental impact report. Facts in Support of Finding The City of Pleasanton is responsible for implementing General Plan policies regarding the provision of wastewater. Implementation of these measures may not reduce the above impact to a less-than- significant level. Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including considerations for the provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the alternatives identified in the environmental impact report.
