THE CITY OF Q f L'EAS�4NTON, CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT 8 January 20, 2015 Operation Services Department TITLE: ADOPTION OF ADDENDUM TO THE INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE CITY OF PLEASANTON RECYCLED WATER PROJECT SUMMARY On September 16, 2014, City Council adopted the environmental review document (Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND)) and Mitigation Monitoring Program which evaluated potential environmental impacts possibly associated with the City's recycled water project (RWP). The IS/MND concluded that implementation of the RWP with identified mitigation measures in place, would reduce environmental impacts due to construction activity to a less-than significant level. Since the adoption, active progress in the design planning phase of the RWP has lead to a few changes to the proposed pipeline alignment. Therefore, since the design plans are complete, staff has produced an Addendum to assess the environmental impacts of these changes. The conclusion of the Addendum is that the proposed pipeline alignment changes will not result in new significant impacts, substantially increase the severity of previously disclosed impacts or involve any of the other conditions that would require a further environmental review per the Public Resources Code and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. This Addendum is an informational document; CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines do not require a subsequent or supplemental negative declaration or environmental impact report for the proposed alignment changes. RECOMMENDATION Approve the attached resolution adopting the Addendum to the initial study/mitigated negative declaration for the City of Pleasanton Recycled Water Project (Attachment 2). FINANCIAL STATEMENT There is no cost associated with the adoption of this Addendum.
