City of Pleasanton—Vineyard Avenue Residential Project <br />Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist <br /> <br />114 <br /> <br />The Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program, a consortium of 17 <br />regulatory agencies and local governments, including the City of <br />Pleasanton, is permitted for municipal stormwater discharge under a <br />Municipal NPDES permit. Compliance with permit conditions includes new <br />development and redevelopment performance standards, project <br />development review for incorporation of stormwater BMPs to the maximum <br />extent practicable, numeric sizing criteria for structural treatment devices, <br />operations and maintenance of treatment measures, and limitations on <br />increases in peak stormwater runoff discharge rates. Compliance with such is <br />codified in Chapter 9.14, Stormwater Management and Discharge Control, <br />of the City’s Municipal Code. <br />As shown in the Preliminary Stormwater Treatment Plan prepared for the <br />proposed project (see Exhibit 9), the project site would be divided into two <br />DMAs, which generally comprise the single-family residential development <br />area and southern park (DMA 1) and the northern open space area (STA 1). <br />As shown in Exhibit 9, stormwater runoff from the on-site impervious surfaces <br />within DMA 1 would be directed through a network of 10- to 18-inch storm <br />drain lines to the proposed on-site bioretention basin at the northern site <br />boundary. The treated on-site stormwater would ultimately be routed to the <br />existing 24-inch storm drain line within Vineyard Avenue. STA 1 would be self- <br />retaining, with collected stormwater allowed to pond up to three inches <br />before flowing into the City’s existing storm drainage system. <br />The final design of the proposed drainage system would be reviewed and <br />approved by the City of Pleasanton, which would ensure that the proposed <br />drainage system complies with all applicable regional and local standards, <br />including those set forth in City’s Municipal Code, as well as requirements <br />pertaining to the incorporation of sufficient permanent stormwater treatment <br />control BMPs. Therefore, water quality standards or waste discharge <br />requirements would not be violated, and downstream water quality would <br />not be degraded as a result of operations of the proposed project. <br />Based on the above, impacts related to water quality standards were <br />adequately addressed in the Housing Element Update FEIR, and the <br />proposed project would not result in any effects that would require further <br />CEQA review for this topic.
