Mr. Robert Silverstein, Esq. 0 . <br />Review Of The Recirculated DEIR And FOR For The San Lorenzo Sewer Lift Station Project <br />January 12, 2012 <br />Page 6 of 18 <br />Comment J -13 starting on Page 69 of the FEIR attempts to dismiss the fact that <br />the additional laydown space that is available at Site No. 2 would likely result in a <br />shorter duration of construction. (It might also reduce the bid price). The FEIR <br />comments that the duration of construction will depend upon the contractor's <br />means and methods. This is true but irrelevant. The fact that the contractor <br />would have access to all four sides of the project at Site No. 2 would provide <br />more alternatives for the contractor to shorten the duration of construction than <br />would be available at the proposed project site, where the contractor has full <br />access only from one side, and only partial access from Segerstrom Avenue. <br />In comment J -16 on Page 72 of the FOR the greater depth of the pump station at <br />Site No. 2 is mentioned. The use of the park site would require about 700 -feet of <br />additional 15 -inch gravity sewer. The 15 -inch gravity sewer between the <br />intersection of Bristol Street and Segerstrom Avenue is shown on Drawing C -3 <br />(Sheet 6) to be 0.0020. The additional depth of the pump station at Proposed <br />Site No. 2 thus would be: <br />700 Feet * 0.0020 Slope = 1.4 Feet. <br />This additional depth of the pump station is trivial compared to the overall depth <br />of about 30 -feet. <br />In comment J -17 on Page 73 of the FOR there is a discussion that the impact on <br />the intersection of South Bristol Street and Segerstrom Avenue is the same for <br />both the proposed Project and for Site No. 2, as if this somehow detracts from <br />the attractiveness of Site No. 2. The statement in comment J -17 is true, but <br />irrelevant. The relevant point is that Site No. 2 does not cause any additional <br />impact on the intersection. <br />Odors <br />The RDEIR and comment J -10 starting on Page 65 of the FOR assert that odor <br />sensitive uses (residences) will be within 75 -feet of Alternative Site No. 2. The <br />RDEIR does not identify which residences it is referring to, provides no <br />documentation for this assertion, and clearly is inaccurate and incorrect. <br />The claim that the point of odor release would be within 75 -feet of the residences <br />is patently meant to be deceptive since the pump station could easily be located <br />further back in the City owned property'. <br />55A -155 <br />
