For 2010, there are only five entries prior to September 13, none of which mention rags or debris. If there was some event that precipitated the need for bi- weekly rag and debris removal, that event should have been disclosed in the RDEIR. This failure to disclose provides inadequate information for informed decision making. Given that this apparent change came at approximately the time of our September 10, 2010 objection letter pointing out that the Project did not meet then - stated Project objectives with respect to an alleged need for increased hydraulic capacity, this also suggests merely a change (or falsification) in reporting practices starting in mid- September 2010 in order to manufacture a new justification for the Project. Additionally, the maintenance logs do not show a significant number of mechanical failures, further weakening the claimed justification for a new station. III. THE PROJECT DOES NOT MEET PROJECT OBJECTIVES. ?e t 6,e5 One of the Project Objectives is "to provide a lift station facility in which PC electrical components of the facility are housed above ground so as to preclude the potential for electrical failure during peak storm events (due to flooding)." As Mr. Dickson points out, the design of the proposed Project does not meet this objective. Drawings for the Project show the motors below ground level in the dry pit, with the potential for flooding and electrical failure. IV. THE PROJECT HAS A SIGNIFICANT AIR QUALITY IMPACT. -- oa62�'- The RFEIR asserts that the zone of a potentially significant odor impact is "around 75 feet." ( RFEIR, p. 3.1 -37.) This means that the border of the zone encompasses a range both less than and greater than 75 feet. The RFEIR places the nearest sensitive receptor at approximately 75 feet 6 inches away from the Project's exhaust fan. This a 0 55A -137
