City of Santa Ana California Environmental Quality Act <br />Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration <br /> <br />- 48 - <br />3.19 Utilities and Service Systems <br /> <br />Would the project: <br />Environmental Issue <br />Potentially <br />Significant <br />Impact <br />Less Than <br />Significant <br />with <br />Mitigation <br />Incorporated <br />Less Than <br />Significant <br />Impact <br />No <br />Impact <br />a) Require or result in the relocation or construction <br />of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment <br />or storm water drainage, electric power, natural <br />gas, or telecommunication facilities, the <br />construction or relocation of which could cause <br />significant environmental effects? <br /> X <br />b) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve <br />the project and reasonably foreseeable future <br />development during normal, dry, and multiple dry <br />years? <br /> X <br />c) Result in a determination by the wastewater <br />treatment provider which serves or may serve the <br />project that it has adequate capacity to serve the <br />project’s projected demand in addition to the <br />provider’s existing commitments? <br /> X <br />d) Generate solid waste in excess of State or local <br />standards, or in excess of the capacity of local <br />infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of <br />solid waste reduction goals? <br /> X <br />e) Comply with federal, state, and local <br />management and reduction statutes and <br />regulations related to solid waste? X <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />a) The proposed Project includes the construction of an expanded stormwater drainage system <br />designed to capture, treat, and infiltrate stormwater. The Project also includes the relocation of a <br />City-owned 8-inch water main, although the capacity and service is not anticipated to change. <br />Additionally, the Project will enhance the existing open space area. Lighting will be added to the <br />proposed pocket park; however, the Project is not expected to significantly increase the demand on <br />any utility or service system. <br /> <br />Potential short-term impacts associated with the water main relocation will be minimized through <br />implementation of Mitigation Measure UTIL-1, which includes advance customer notification and <br />coordination with utility locating services prior to excavation. Therefore, with incorporation of <br />mitigation measure UTIL-1, impacts related to utilities and service systems would be less than <br />significant. <br />  <br />  <br />City Council 15 – 101 12/2/2025
