Carpinteria Sanitary District's South Coast Beach Communities Septic to Sewer Project Supplemental Environmental Impact Report

Carpinteria Sanitary District's South Coast Beach Communities Septic to Sewer Project Supplemental Environmental Impact Report

The project consists of annexations of property into the CSD, establishment of assessment districts for project financing, and construction and operation of wastewater collection and transfer infrastructure. The proposed infrastructure component of the project would involve the construction and operation of five separate wastewater conveyance systems to serve each of the five beach communities. Each would require the construction of public and private sewer facilities. Public sewer facilities would be constructed and operated by CSD, and would provide each homeowner with the opportunity to have public sanitary sewer service. Private sewer facilities would be required to connect homes to public sewer system, from which wastewater would be conveyed to the Carpinteria Wastewater Treatment Plant (CWWTP). The public infrastructure would include gravity sewers, force mains, laterals to the property lines of the private lots, pump stations, manholes, and cleanout stations. The project, as described above, was the subject of a Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) certified by the CSD Board of Directors on September 7, 2004. However, since that time, the District has identified design revisions to the infrastructure proposed for the Rincon Point Community that are intended to reduce significant unavoidable environmental impacts identified in the FEIR. These revisions include but are not limited to the following alternative construction design measures: rerouting of the sewer line from the Rincon Point Community to the existing collection system, use of low pressure force mains, and relocation of pump station(s). It was also determined that an additional sewer line segment, not previously analyzed would be required in the Rincon Point Community.
