SUBJECT: WATER SYSTEM EXTENSION FOR DONNER TRACT -
ENVIRONiMENTAL REVIEW
Dear Neil:
This letter is our proposal for professional services to provide environmental review
in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) for the
proposed extension of water service into the Donner Tract area adjacent to the
Donner Lake service area.. The project would involve the replacement of the existing
distribution system and spring source with new distribution system piping, services,
and fire hydrants. Service would be provided through the upgraded Donner Lake
service area system. Based on our experience with similar District projects, we
anticipate that a negative declaration will be the appropriate level of review-for the
project.
Scope of Services
For the proposed water distribution system extension project,we will prepare an
environmental initial study and proposed negative declaration following CEQA
Guidelines. We will distribute preliminary documents to the State Clearinghouse,
County Clerk,and responsible agencies. We will coordinate a public hearing, receive
oral and written continents and prepare responses. We will prepare a final negative
declaration and notice of determination and file appropriate final documents with the
County Clerk and State Clearinghouse.
Schedule of Services
We anticipate needing approximately thirty days following the District's authorization
to proceed to prepare the initial study and the proposed negative declaration.
Depending on the number and nature of comments,preparation of final documents
for approval by the District should take an additional thirty to sixty days including the
public review period and public hearing. We expect the schedule to be generally as
shown below.
