Document Description
The SCVSD has prepared a Final Recirculated Santa Clarita Valley Sanitation District Chloride Compliance Project EIR - Separation of Recycled Water Project (Final Recirculated EIR) for its Chloride Compliance Project. This FEIR revised analysis from SCVSD's prior 2013 Chloride Compliance Facilities Plan and EIR, which was certified by the SCVSD Board of Directors on Oct. 28, 2013. The Chloride Compliance Project was modified by the SCVSD Supplemental EIR for Brine Concentration and Limited Trucking in March 2016 (2016 Trucking SEIR). The purpose of this recirculated FEIR is to allow SCVSD to evaluate the potential approval of the Chloride Compliance Project alone, while separating that project from the Recycled Water Project, which was also analyzed in the 2013 EIR.
Unrelated to the chloride compliance solutions, the SCVSD also considered a plan to reduce the discharge of treated water from the water reclamation plants to the Santa Clara River. The 2013 EIR described this activity as "Support for Municipal Reuse of Recycled Water" (Recycled Water Project) and analyzed the potential environmental impacts to biological resources (including an endangered fish known as the unarmored three-spine stickleback, or UTS) that could occur from a proposed approx. one-third reduction in discharge associated with that project. The technical analysis that supported the 2013 EIR concluded that no significant impact would occur from the Recycled Water Project. The Recycled Water Project would permit the direction of treated wastewater (recycled water) to community reuse such as landscape irrigation. Even though the Chloride Compliance Project and the Recycled Water Project are independent efforts (i.e, implementation of one does not require or necessitate implementation of the other), both projects were addressed in the 2013 EIR. The Recycled Water Project is discretionary, and the Chloride Compliance Project is a State-mandated project to improve water quality in the Santa Clara River.
