City of Pleasanton <br />July 27, 2026 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />These studies are critical because the District's utility master plans have not <br />considered the impacts of the District providing wastewater treatment service to Arroyo <br />Lago, the East Lakes Project, and other adjacent developments which are proposed for <br />annexation to the City, and the impacts of the District providing wastewater service to this <br />area have not yet been analyzed. <br />Consistent with the agreement between reached between 330 Land Company, LLC, <br />and the District, the District therefore asks the City to include the following two conditions <br />when the City Council approves the Project: <br />(1) To determine the impacts on the District’s system, the Landowner will <br />prepare or agree to fund preparation of additional utility analyses, to be <br />performed by a consultant of the District's choosing, and the results of the <br />analyses to be approved in the District's sole discretion; and <br />(2) The Landowner will be required to mitigate any impacts identifled by the <br />utility analyses, including paying its fair share of any infrastructure <br />improvements required to serve the Project in whole or in part. <br />These utility analyses are necessary because the Final EIR fails to analyze the <br />impacts to the East Amador Lift Station (EALS) and other associated improvements which <br />will be needed to mitigate the Project's signiflcant direct and cumulative environmental <br />impacts. As described in Section 6.4.3 of the 2024 Woodard Curran Sewer System <br />Capacity Evaluation Report (the "Capacity Report"), which was included in Appendix A – <br />WWTP Supporting Information for the Final EIR, the District owns and operates EALS, which <br />conveys fiows generated within the City to the regional WWTP. Under the 1992 agreement <br />between the City and the District, the District is required to operate and maintain EALS, <br />and the City is responsible to pay for these improvements, since they exclusively beneflt <br />service connections within the City. <br />As noted in the Capacity Report, the City's 2007 Master Plan recognized that the <br />EALS pump station is undersized for current fiows and improvements are needed. Thus, the <br />current facilities already fail to meet industry standards, and the additional connections <br />that will result from the Project and other development in the east Pleasanton area will <br />exacerbate this existing problem. Utility analyses must evaluate the range of improvements <br />that will be needed to address both the current and anticipated future deflciencies due to <br />increased fiows resulting from annexation and the additional service connections <br />generated by this Project. <br />It is odd that the City's comments on the County's EIR for this Project noted the lack <br />of this analysis, but the City failed to remedy this known deflciency when it prepared the <br />Addendum. Speciflcally, in its comments on the Draft EIR (PLEASANTON-62), the City <br />indicated Alternative 2 does not include sufficient detail to enable the City to rely on the <br />Page 158 of 373
