SOURCES: Project description, Land Use Element (LUE) EIR; Project Plans DISCUSSION: Water: The Atascadero Mutual Water Company (AMWC) will provide water. All property within the city limits is entitled to water from the AMWC. Water is pumped from two portions of the largest underground basin in the county, the Paso Robles Formation, using a series of shallow and deep wells. The water company anticipates that it will be able to meet the city's needs through buildout and beyond: Water demand at buildout under the LUE is estimated at about 8,500 acre-feet per year (AFY). The total available groundwater supply greatly exceeds demand, according to the findings of the Long -Term Viability of Water study. However, the water company does not currently have the deep wells needed to tap into the total amount needed at buildout. The water company is currently developing plans for installing wells where they will be most effective and will not conflict with water rights of others. According to the Water Company, development of additional wells is expected to keep pace with construction in the city, so that water supply will not be interrupted. Sewer. Sewer discharge will be handled by an on site septic system, Storm Water. On-site storm water drainage has been designed to flow into the existing EI Camino Real drainage facilities. The existing facilities have been designed to handle run-off from this site at buildout. 17. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE -- a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality ❑ ❑ of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish IMN or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range 05/15/07 Page 27 ceqa Traffic Way.doc
