City of Pleasanton—Vineyard Avenue Residential Project <br />15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist <br /> <br />115 <br /> <br />b, e) Groundwater and Water Quality Control or Sustainable Groundwater Management <br />Plans Consistency <br />Would the project: b) Substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere <br />substantially with groundwater recharge such that the project <br />may impede sustainable groundwater management of the <br />basin? or <br /> e) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality <br />control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan? <br />Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR <br />The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated that future development <br />consistent with the Housing Element Update could increase the area of <br />impervious surfaces, which could potentially reduce groundwater infiltration. <br />The addition of new housing would also result in an increase in residential <br />connections to the municipal water supply, which could potentially increase <br />demand on groundwater supplies. <br />The Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that future development <br />consistent with the Housing Element Update would be required to comply <br />with requirements of the Municipal Code and General Plan policies and <br />actions related to maximizing infiltration and rainwater retention and <br />requiring the identification of an adequate water supply. Therefore, future <br />development consistent with the Housing Element Update would not <br />substantially interfere with groundwater recharge or impede groundwater <br />management of the basin, and impacts would be less than significant. <br />The Housing Element Update FEIR also indicated that construction and <br />operation of any future development consistent with the Housing Element <br />Update could result in water quality impacts. In addition, future development <br />consistent with the Housing Element Update could lead to an increased <br />demand for water, which could lead to an increase in groundwater <br />pumping. <br />The Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that any future development <br />consistent with the Housing Element Update would be required to comply <br />with the General Plan policies and programs, the Municipal Code, and the <br />mandatory NPDES permit requirements. Therefore, during construction and <br />operation, future development consistent with the Housing Element Update <br />would not violate any water quality standards or otherwise substantially <br />degrade surface or groundwater quality, in compliance with the Water <br />Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco Bay Basin.
