scwd2 Regional Seawater Desalination Project Draft EIR Public Review Summary Report

City of Santa Cruz and Soquel Creek Water District 2

1 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT

The City of Santa Cruz (City) and the Soquel Creek Water District (District), as joint Lead Agencies, prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, to evaluate the potential environmental effects of the proposed scwd2 Regional Seawater Desalination Project (proposed project). The proposed project, as described in the Draft EIR, entails the construction and operation of a seawater desalination plant and related facilities that would be shared by the City and the District, with a capacity of 2.5 million gallons per day (mgd) and potential expandability to 4.5 mgd. The Draft EIR provides an overview and detailed project description for the proposed project (http://www.scwd2desal.org/Page-EIR_Docs.php).

On May 13, 2013, the Lead Agencies formally issued a Notice of Availability stating that the Draft EIR was available for a 60-day public review period from May 13, 2013 until July 15, 2013. The original 60-day public review period constituted an extension of the normal 45-day review period required by CEQA. Two public hearings were held on June 3, 2013 and July 1, 2013, to solicit comments on the Draft EIR. As a result of initial comments received from the public, the review period was extended an additional 30 days, to August 12, 2013, to provide more time for the public to participate in the review process.

This report summarizes the Draft EIR public review process and provides a detailed account of the public noticing and public hearings that were conducted, and the comments received on the Draft EIR. This report was prepared in response to requests from some community members that the Draft EIR comments be made available as soon as possible and in advance of completion of the Final EIR. Under CEQA, public comments on a Draft EIR are not required to be published and are not typically published until a Final EIR is completed. Responses to these comments have not yet been prepared, but under CEQA are required to be prepared and included in a Final EIR. This report’s appendices contain copies of all the public notices, meeting materials and public comments received during the public review period.

In accordance with CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines, all comments are required to be responded to in writing as part of the Final EIR.

2 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS

In compliance with CEQA, the City and District are conducting a thorough environmental review of the proposed project. CEQA is a California statute that requires state and local agencies to identify any significant environmental impacts of the projects they propose and/or approve.

The proposed project has been studied in a Draft EIR. An EIR is an informational document that evaluates the potential environmental impacts of a proposed project and provides key data and analysis for decision-makers and the public. An EIR must be considered by a public agency or

scwd2 Regional Seawater Desalination Project Draft EIR Public Review Summary Report

City of Santa Cruz and Soquel Creek Water District 3

agencies and certified prior to approval or disapproval of a project. An EIR identifies and evaluates the significant environmental impacts of a project, whether the impacts can be avoided or reduced, and alternatives to the project that should also be considered.

The Integrated Water Plan Program Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse #203102140) (IWP Program EIR) was prepared and certified by the Santa Cruz City Council in 2005 (City, 2005a). This document evaluated the City’s IWP elements, including fully implementing the City’s Water Conservation Plan, curtailing water use during droughts, and developing a supplemental water supply consisting of a seawater desalination plant and related facilities, to address water supply shortages during drought. In accordance with the CEQA Guidelines, a Program EIR may be prepared on a series of actions, such as the IWP elements noted above, that can be characterized as one project, and are related in some way. The IWP Program EIR evaluated both a City-only and a regional desalination project in conjunction with the District.

The current Draft EIR provides a more focused project-level analysis of the proposed 2.5-mgd desalination plant and related facilities. While it is unknown if or when an expansion or expansions up to 4.5 mgd would take place, the Draft EIR also provides an updated program-level analysis within each topical section to address the potential future expansion of the project.

The first step in the preparation of the Draft EIR, called scoping, allowed the public and interested parties to help define the issues and alternatives to be evaluated in the EIR. A Notice of Preparation/Initial Study was issued on November 15, 2010, to notify all interested parties that the Lead Agencies would be preparing an EIR to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project. During the scoping period (November 15, 2010 to January 10, 2011), the public provided input on the environmental topics, potential effects, mitigation measures, and alternatives to be analyzed in the EIR, as summarized in the Scoping Report for the project (http://www.scwd2desal.org/documents/Draft_EIR/Draft_EIR_Appendices/Appendix%20A_scwd2ScopingSummary.pdf). Following scoping, technical and environmental studies were conducted to inform and complete the Draft EIR.

During the 90-day public review period the public had the opportunity to provide formal comments on the Draft EIR: in writing for the duration of the comment period, and orally and/or in writing at two public hearings held on June 3, 2013 and July 1, 2013. All comments received during the public review period are included in Appendix C to this report. In accordance with CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines, all comments are required to be responded to in writing as part of a Final EIR. A Final EIR can also include revisions to a Draft EIR. Additional information about the environmental review process for the proposed project is provided in Section 2, Introduction, of the Draft EIR (http://www.scwd2desal.org/documents/Draft_EIR/2%20-0_Intro_DEIR.pdf).

4 PUBLIC HEARINGS

The City and the District held two public hearings, one daytime meeting in the District’s service area on June 3, 2013 and one evening meeting in the City’s service area on July 1, 2013. Interested participants were invited to attend either or both hearings.

The July 1st public hearing was an agenda item on the regularly scheduled City Water Commission meeting, and as such it was a Brown Act meeting and was noticed accordingly. In fact, both public hearings were noticed according to the Brown Act, and the following notice was posted at each public hearing site, as well as City Hall, the City of Santa Cruz Water Department, and the City of Santa Cruz Planning Department: “It is possible that a majority of the City Council, Soquel Creek Water District Board, or City Water Commission could be present at the public hearings.” Such wording was also included on stickers which were added to the onsite posted notices at the potential sites of the aboveground project facilities.

The same presentation, handouts, and staff were available at each meeting. Additionally, each meeting followed the same format: a 30-minute open house, a 30-minute presentation, and then a formal oral comment period where attendees could provide their comments verbally. These comments were transcribed by a court reporter. Transcriptions of the meeting are contained in Appendix C.
