Public Hearing
To: Board of Directors
From: Peter Holzmeister
Date: March 2, 2007
Subject: Public hearing on Alder Drive Pump Station CEQA
Why this matter is before the Board: This matter involves continuing a public
hearing to receive written and oral input from members of the public regarding
adoption of an environmental study and negative declaration for the proposed
Alder Drive Pump Station Project.
History: Neil Kaufman made a presentation to the Board regarding the need to
construct a new pump station at Alder Drive to help move water into the Prosser
Heights subdivision. He described a problem we are having in water production
at the Prosser Heights Annex well. He also described a new water pipeline that
is proposed to move water into the Prosser Heights area to meet demands. This
new pump station will help solve the immediate problem caused by problems at
the failing well, and be available to move water into the subdivision once the new
pipeline is constructed.
He presented the Initial Environmental Study and draft Negative Declaration.
The Board authorized circulation of those documents and held a public hearing
on February 7. The public hearing for the Alder Drive Pump Station
environmental review has been extended due to the fact that the State Clearing
house lost the District's original submission to them.
New information: The public hearing has been noticed as required by law. At
the conclusion of the public hearing you are not yet ready to consider adopting
the documents because the thirty day comment period has not yet expired.
Recommendation: No action is required.
