Civil & Environmental Engineers C Memorandum December 27, 2004 TO: Board of Directors, and Ed Taylor, District Water Operations Manager FROM: Keith Knibb, Consulting Engineer f SUBJECT: FEATHERSTONE TANK WELL AND PUMP STATION - CEQA 1. Why this matter is before the Board The District is proposing to construct a new production well and pump station at the site of the Featherstone Tank. Prior starting construction activities, the District is required to complete an environmental review in compliance with CEQA. 2. History The District's "Truckee Water System Master Plan Update," adopted in May, 2004, identified eight new production welts proposed for construction by the year 2025. The proposed Featherstone Tank Well constitutes one of those wells. In 2003, the District conducted a geologic test hole program whereby a number of test holes were drilled around the District to ascertain favorable locations for future production wells. A test hole was drilled at the Featherstone Tank site which showed promise as a high production,high quality water source. 3. New information A draft Mitigated Negative Declaration and Environmental Initial Study for the Featherstone Tank Well and Pump Station was prepared and circulated to responsible and interested agencies as well as to the State Clearinghouse and the Nevada County Clerk. The District held a public hearing regarding the adoption of the proposed negative declaration on December 15, 2004. The public and clearinghouse review periods are now closed. No comments were received from the public at the public hearing. One comment letter was received from the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board. Along with this memo are the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration,Notice of Determination, Comments and Responses, and Mitigation Monitoring Plan. Filing the Notice of Determination with the State Clearinghouse and Nevada County Clerk completes the CEQA process for the project. I n+per(v,s \ tile. ? w St= ,� A.+.L;d"t t ti. 4.

Ferguson -P.E. Truckee River Watershed Unit DATE: December 9, 2004 SUBJECT: COMMENTS ON THE DRAFT MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE TRUCKEE-DONNER PUD FEATHERSTONE TANK WELL AND PUMP STATION PROJECT,STATE CLEARINGHOUSE NO.2004112065,NEVADA COUNTY ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NO. 19-720-04 Thank you for providing us the opportunity to comment on the above-mentioned project.It is the Regional Board's understanding that the proposed project consists of drilling, constructing, developing,test pumping, operating, and maintaining a new production well pump station, chlorination facility,pipeline, and underground electrical facilities. There will be an estimated 14,400,000 gallons of water discharged to land surface(via spray irrigation)during the well development and testing. The pump station will include an approximantely 500-square foot building. The existing 5,000-square foot aggregate base driveway will be paved. The project will consist of approximately 0.05 acres of soil disturbance. The project is located at 12701 Fairway Drive within the Old Greenwood Development. The project will convey water from the proposed well into the existing distribution system in the Old Greenwood development,which inter-ties with the Truckee Donner Public Utility District's town distribution system. The draft mitigated negative declaration is tiered off from the 2004 Negative Declaration adopted for the "Truckee Water System Water Master Plan Update". The Update identifies eight new production wells proposed for construction by the year 2035, of which the proposed Featherstone Well is a part. The Update was based upon the General Plan for the Town of Truckee. These two documents adequately discuss cumulative growth inducing impacts from projects such as the proposed project. California Environmental Protection Agency Qo' Recycled Paper LAHONTAN REGION PROJECT GUIDELINES FOR EROSION CONTROL In the interest of protecting surface water quality from unnatural or accelerated erosion caused by land development, the following guidelines shall be followed: Guidelines Applicable To: Little Truckee River Hydrologic Unit(HU No.636.00) Truckee River Hydrologic Area(HU No.635.20) West Fork Carson River Hydrologic Unit(HU No.633.00) East Fork Carson River Hydrologic Unit(HU No.632.00) Mono Hydrologic Unit(HU No.601.00) Long Hydrologic Area (HU No.603.10) Temporary Construction BMPs 1. Surplus or waste materials shall not be placed in drainage ways or within the 100-year flood plain of surface waters. 2. All loose piles of soil, silt, clay, sand, debris, or earthen materials shall be protected in a reasonable manner to prevent discharge of pollutants to waters of the State. Material stockpiles should be placed on the upgradient side of excavation whenever possible. Stockpiles may also be protected by covering to prevent contact with precipitation and by placing sediment barriers around the stockpiles. 3. Dewatering shall be done in a manner so as to prevent the discharge of pollutants, including earthen materials, from the site. The first option is to discharge dewatering waste to land. A separate permit may be required if, due to site constraints, dewatering waste must be discharged to surface waters. Contact the Regional Board for information on discharging to surface waters. 4. All disturbed areas shall be stabilized by appropriate erosion and/or sediment control measures by October 15 of each year. 5. All work performed between October 15th and May 1st of each year shall be conducted in such a manner that the project can be winterized within 48 hours. Winterized means implementing erosion and/or sediment controls that will prevent the discharge of earthen materials from the site and the controls will remain effective throughout the rainy/snow season without requiring maintenance. In general, this requires stabilizing bare disturbed soils with mulch, erosion protection blankets, or other suitable materials, and installing perimeter sediment controls such as fiber logs or other similar materials that will remain effective during significant rain and snow events. 6. After completion of a construction project, all surplus or waste earthen material shall be removed from the site and deposited at a legal point of disposal. 7. All non-construction areas (areas outside of the construction zone that will remain undisturbed) shall be protected by fencing or other means to prevent unnecessary encroachment outside the active construction zone. 8. During construction,temporary erosion control facilities (e.g., impermeable dikes, filter fences, weed-free straw bales, etc.) shall be used as necessary to prevent discharge of earthen materials from the site during periods of precipitation or runoff.

Section 13260(a)of the California Water Code(CWC)requires that any person discharging waste or proposing to discharge waste within any region, other than to a community sewer system,which could affect the quality of the waters of the State',file a report of waste discharge(RO WD). 2. The discharges to land with a low threat to water quality listed in Table 1 are low volume discharges with minimal pollutant concentrations and are disposed of by similar means. These discharges are appropriately regulated under General WDRs. Table 1. Categories of Low Threat Discharges CATEGORY Wells/Boring Waste Well Development Discharge MonitoringWell Purge Water Discharge Boring Waste Discharge Clear Water Discharges Water Main/Water Storage Tank/Water Hydrant Flushing Pipelines/Tank Hydrostatic Testing Discharge Commercial and Public Swimming Pools Small Dewatering Projects Small/Temporary Dewatering Projects(such as excavations during construction Miscellaneous Small Inert Solid Waste Disposal Operations Cooling Discharge See Attachment I to these General WDRs for discharge category definitions. 3. All WDRs must implement the Regional Water Quality Control Board(Regional Board) Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan)for the Region affected by the discharge. These General WDRs require Dischargers to comply with all applicable Basin Plan provisions, including any prohibitions and water quality objectives governing the discharge. "Waters of the State"as defined in CWC Section 13050(t) 4. These General WDRs establish minimum standards for the discharges listed in Table 1. The Discharger must comply with any more stringent standards in the applicable Basin Plan. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of these General WDRs and the applicable Basin Plan,the more stringent provision prevails. 5. The beneficial uses for the groundwaters of the State include,but are not limited to: municipal supply (MUN), industrial service supply (IND), industrial process supply (PROC),fresh water replenishment(FRESH), groundwater recharge(GWR),and agricultural supply(AGR). 6. The discharges listed in Table I have the lowest Threat to Water Quality (TTWQ) and Complexity, as defined in Section 2200,Title 23 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR). Discharges with the lowest TTWQ are those discharges of waste that could degrade water quality without violating water quality objectives or cause a minor impairment of designated beneficial uses. Low threat discharges that do not require any chemical, biological,or physical treatment have the lowest Complexity rating. 7. Dischargers seeking coverage under these General WDRs must file with the appropriate Regional Board: (a) a Notice of Intent(NOI)to comply with the terms and conditions of these General WDRs or a ROWD2,(b)the applicable first annual fee as required by Title 23, CCR, Section 2200, (c)a project map,(d)evidence of California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)compliance, and(e)a discharger monitoring plan. Upon review by Regional Board staff,a determination will be made as to whether or not coverage under these General WDRs is appropriate. The Discharger will be notified by a letter from the Regional Board Executive Officer3 when coverage under these General WDRs has begun. 8. Dischargers with low threat discharges listed in Table I currently covered by waivers or individual WDRs need not apply for coverage under these General WDRs unless requested to do so by the Regional Board. 9. Although a discharge may be eligible for coverage under these General WDRs,the Regional Board may elect to regulate the discharge under other WDRs or a conditional waiver. If the Regional Board has established WDRs or a conditional waiver,these General WDRs are not applicable. 10. The following discharge categories from Table 1 are exempt from SWRCB promulgated Title 27 requirements: Wells/Boring Waste Discharges,Clear Water Discharges, Small Dewatering Projects,and Cooling Discharges(Section 20090). 2 If a ROWD is submitted instead of an NOI,the discharger must complete Sections VII-XV and XVII of the NOI(Attachment 3)and submit them to the Regional Board. 3 Regional Board Executive Officer or designee. -2- 11. Title 27,Section 20230 of CCR exempts dischargers of inert solid wastes from the requirement to discharge at classified solid waste sites. Section 20230 also gives Regional Boards the option to assign individual or general WDRs for inert solid waste discharges. 12. Discharges to lands that have been listed as hazardous materials sites,pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5, are not eligible for coverage under these General WDRs. Discharges that will significantly physically divide an established community, significantly conflict with any applicable land use plan/policy/regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project, or significantly conflict with any applicable habitat/community conservation plan are not eligible for coverage under these General WDRs. 13, Discharges that could have a significant impact on Biological Resources°, Cultural Resources5,Aestheticsb,Air Quality7 or that could significantly alter the existing drainage pattern of the discharge site or surrounding area are not eligible for coverage under these General WDRs. 14, Small inert waste disposal operations and small temporary dewatering operations located on unstable geologic units/soils or expansive soils are not eligible for coverage tinder these General WDRs. Small inert waste disposal operations and small temporary dewatering operations that could significantly conflict with existing zoning for agriculture use or a Williamson Act contract are not eligible for coverage under these General WDRs. 15. Small inert waste disposal operations that are within the boundaries of a comprehensive airport land use plan or, if a comprehensive airport land use plan has not been adopted, within two nautical miles of a public airport or public use airport are not eligible for coverage under these General WDRs. 16. A Negative Declaration in compliance with CEQA has been adopted for these General WDRs. The environmental impacts from new discharges authorized by these General WDRs have been found to be less than significant. 17. Potential Dischargers and all other known interested parties have been notified of the intent to prescribe WDRs as described in these General WDRs. 18. All comments pertaining to the proposed discharges have been heard and considered in a public meeting. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED,that the Discharger, in order to meet the provisions contained in Division 7 of CWC and regulations adopted thereunder,shall comply with the following: 4 As defined by the CEQA,Environmental Checklist Forth,Title 14,Calumet Code of Regulation,Appendix G,Section IV.
