<br /> Mr. Art Burton, Pacific Environmental Laboratories, presented a brief summary
<br />of the three alternatives and displayed map giving descriptions of the projects.
<br />He stated the environmental impact associated with Alternate 2b - Construction of
<br />Interceptor Sewer Line to V.C.S.D., was minImal, that no trees would have to be
<br />removed, and that no major fault lines had to be crossed. He further stated that
<br />the environmental impact associated with Alternate 5b - Construction of new sewage
<br />treatment plant, was also minimal. He stated the plant would be operated and con-
<br />trolled by the City and gave detailed description of location of proposed plant and
<br />effluent fields.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Burton stated the indirect impacts on both alternatives allow for additional
<br />growth in the Pleasanton area, and the impact on air quality is the most significant
<br />indirect impact of'these projects.
<br />
<br /> Mro Burton stated that with regard to the No Project Alternative, this concept
<br />was not worth considering since the old Sunol Plant was past repair, in the wrong
<br />location, presented an odor problem, and was now'costing the City a considerable
<br />amount of money to operate and maintain.
<br />
<br /> Mayor Mori declared the public hearing open.
<br />
<br /> Mro Dave Harris, Vice-Chairman of Zone 7 Board, stated that Zone 7 feels
<br />responsible for the protection of the underground water basin.
