North Los Angeles / Kern County Recycled Water Project ES-1 ESA / 206359 Final PEIR November 2008
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ES.1 Introduction The Los Angeles County Waterworks District No. 40, Antelope Valley (LACWWD40) as the Lead Agency has prepared this Final Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) in consultation with the following Responsible Agencies: the City of Lancaster, the City of Palmdale, the Rosamond Community Services District (RCSD), the County Sanitation Districts Nos. 14 and 20 of Los Angeles County (LACSD Nos. 14 and 20), Palmdale Water District (PWD), Antelope Valley-East Kern Water Agency (AVEK), and Quartz Hill Water District (QHWD). This Final PEIR has been prepared to provide information about the potential effects on the local and regional environment associated with the North Los Angeles/Kern County Regional Recycled Water Project (proposed project). The purpose of the proposed project is to construct a regional recycled water distribution system to help meet the growing demand for water in the region.
The proposed project would be located in the Antelope Valley, which encompasses approximately 2,400 square miles in northern Los Angeles County, southern Kern County, and western San Bernardino County. The proposed project would be located within several cities including the City of Palmdale, the City of Lancaster, the Town of Rosamond, and portions of unincorporated Los Angeles County including Quartz Hill.
This Final PEIR has been prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970 (as amended), codified at California Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et. seq.; the State CEQA Guidelines in the Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3; and CEQA-Plus requirements of the State Water Resources Control Board.
Inquiries about the proposed project should be directed to:
Los Angeles County Waterworks District No. 40 Attn: Jonathan King 900 South Fremont Avenue Alhambra, CA 91803 FAX: (626) 300-3385

ES.2 Background The Antelope Valley is faced with serious challenges with respect to management of water and wastewater resources in the region. The population in the Antelope Valley is expected to increase by 161 percent by 2035 (RWMG, 2007). Currently, the demand for potable water exceeds supply in the region, and by 2035 this demand is expected to double (RWMG, 2007). Wastewater discharges also will increase in the future as population increases.
The Regional Water Management Group (RWMG) is a collection of 11 local agencies that are working collectively to resolve the water management challenges in the Antelope Valley. LACWWD40 and the partner agencies that are sponsoring the proposed project are members of the RWMG. Currently, the demand for potable water in the region is met largely by water imported through the State Water Project and groundwater pumped from the Antelope Valley Groundwater Basin. Imported water supplies are becoming less reliable; the AV Groundwater Basin is facing overdraft conditions; and the water rights of overlying landowners of the AV Groundwater Basin have not yet been adjudicated (although this process is currently under way) (DWR, 2008; RWMG, 2007). Thus, under current conditions, imported water and groundwater can not be expected to accommodate the future water demands of a growing population in the Antelope Valley. As a result, the RWMG is tasked with finding creative solutions for finding new sources of water for Antelope Valley residents.
The RWMG has prepared the Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWMP) for the Antelope Valley as a roadmap for resolving the water management challenges in the region. The proposed project is identified in the IRWMP as a project that addresses the need for both increased water supplies and wastewater effluent management. The proposed project would provide a backbone system for distribution of recycled water throughout the Antelope Valley.
ES.3 Project Objectives The objectives of the proposed project are as follows:
• Provide recycled water conveyance backbone infrastructure sufficient to accommodate planned regional recycled water demands;
• Integrate regional recycled water production, distribution, and re-use capabilities in the Antelope Valley;
• Provide conveyance, storage, and pumping capacity sufficient to accommodate peak future demands;
• Reduce the region’s dependency on imported water; • Augment local water supplies; • Promote the State’s policies for beneficial reuse of recycled water to replace potable water
where possible.

ES.4 Project Description The proposed project would include the following components: approximately 70 miles of recycled water conveyance pipelines, four storage reservoirs, two distribution pump stations, and two booster pump stations (Figure ES-1). The proposed project would provide the primary backbone system for distribution of recycled water to end users in the Antelope Valley. The end users would include but would not be limited to the following:
• Municipal and industrial (M&I) applications; • Agricultural irrigation1; • Cooling water for power plants; and • Groundwater recharge.
For existing and future end users identified to-date, the annual demand for recycled water in the Antelope Valley is estimated at 21,210 afy at buildout. The system capacity of the proposed project would be designed to meet this demand. This demand includes 17,491 afy for M&I end uses in Los Angeles County (Kennedy/Jenks, 2006), plus 1,119 afy for M&I end uses in Kern County (Seal, 2008), and 2,600 afy for use as cooling water at the planned Palmdale Hybrid Power Plant.
Recycled water use would comply with the California Department of Public Health recycled water regulations contained in Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations (see Chapter 1, Introduction for additional information). In addition, the proposed project would be subject to conditions imposed by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) pursuant to Water Recycling Requirements (WRRs). The proposed project would be constructed in phases, subject to funding and the identification of recycled water users. Each component would be constructed by LACWWD40 or one of the Responsible Agencies as part of the regional backbone distribution system.
This PEIR provides project-level coverage for the following project components: construction and operation of the recycled water pipelines and M&I applications for recycled water. The analysis of these components is conducted at a sufficient level of detail such that additional environmental documentation is not necessary. In other words, these project components are evaluated at a level of detail that is typically provided for a project EIR (CEQA Guidelines §15161).
Program-level coverage is provided for the remaining components of the proposed project, which include the following: construction and operation of the proposed pump stations and storage reservoirs, and the use of recycled water for agricultural irrigation (agricultural reuse), cooling water at power plants, and groundwater recharge. Prior to implementation of these components, additional analysis is required to determine the need for subsequent environmental documentation.
1 The Facilities Plans for the PWRP and LWRP include agricultural effluent management sites for application of
recycled water produced at both reclamation plants (LACSD No. 14, 2004; LACSD No. 20, 2005). The environmental effects of using recycled water for agricultural irrigation at these effluent management sites have been evaluated pursuant to CEQA in previous environmental documents (see Chapter 1, Section 1.5.2). This proposed project does not include these agricultural effluent management areas.

ES.5 Project Alternatives An EIR must describe a range of reasonable alternatives to the proposed project or alternative project locations that could feasibly attain most of the basic project objectives and would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant environmental impacts to the proposed project. The alternatives analysis must include the “No Project Alternative” as a point of comparison. The No Project Alternative includes existing conditions and reasonably foreseeable future conditions that would exist if the proposed project were not approved (CEQA Guidelines §15126.6). The following alternatives are discussed further in Chapter 6, Alternatives Analysis. CEQA also requires that an EIR identify an environmentally preferred alternative (CEQA Guidelines §15126.6[e][2]).
No-Project Alternative Under the No-Project Alternative, LACWWD40 and the partner agencies would not implement the Regional Recycled Water Project. The LWRP, PWRP, and RWWTP would be upgraded as planned to produce tertiary-treated effluent; however, there would be no integrated system to distribute this recycled water to end users in the Antelope Valley. LACSD Nos. 14 and 20 would manage recycled water with agricultural reuse only. RCSD would need to develop alternative measures for discharge or distribution of the recycled water produced at the RWWTP. Under the No-Project Alternative, future water demand in the Antelope Valley would continue to grow and would be met with increased quantities of groundwater, surface water, and imported water, and/or increased conservation measures.
Alternative 1: Non-Integrated System Under Alternative 1, instead of implementing the proposed project, LACWWD40, PWD, QHWD, and RCSD would design, construct, and operate their own recycled water systems. Alternative 1 would result in four separate recycled water systems in the Antelope Valley instead of one integrated regional system. LACWWD40 would construct recycled water pipelines, pump stations, and storage reservoirs within its service area. LACWWD40 would contract independently with LACSD No. 14, LACSD No. 20, and RCSD to purchase recycled water for the end users in its service area.
ES.6 Summary of Impacts Table ES-1, at the end of this chapter, presents a summary of the impacts and mitigation measures identified for the proposed project. The complete impact statements and mitigation measures are presented in Chapter 3, Environmental Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures. The level of significance for each impact was determined using significance criteria (thresholds) developed for each category of impacts; these criteria are presented in the appropriate sections of Chapter 3. Significant impacts are those adverse environmental impacts that meet or exceed the significance thresholds; less-than-significant impacts would not exceed the thresholds. Table ES-
