Addendum to the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Griffith Park South Water Recycling Project

The Los Angeles Dept. of Water and Power (LADWP) proposes to expand its existing recycled water system within the Central Los Angeles area with the Griffith Park South Water Recycling Project. The proposed project would expand the existing water recycling system supplied by the Los Angeles-Glendale Water Reclamation Plant by extending the Greenbelt Water Recycling distribution line south to serve the Roosevelt Golf Course as its prime customer. The Roosevelt Golf Course currently uses potable water for irrigation. It is anticipated the golf course would require approx. 310 acre feet per year (AFY) of recycled water for irrigation. In addition, the proposed project would increase recycled water storage to accommodate future expansion of the recycled water system to other areas of Griffith Park and the Los Feliz area, including the Greek Theatre, landscaped medians within Vermont Ave. and Hillhurst Ave., the Griffith Park Nursery and Horticultural Center, picnic areas in the immediate vicinity, and the bird sanctuary. The proposed project would expand storage for future customers by an average of 60 AFY of recycled water. since the adoption of the Final MND by the Board, the project has been refined to include the necessary upgrades of the irrigation system at the Roosevelt Municipal nine-hole golf course in Griffith Park to accept the recycled water being provided by the project. The golf course is an intended customer of the water produced by the Griffith Park South Water Recycling Project. The system at golf course currently irrigates with potable water and has been in place since the late 1960's. The planned new system will be capable of delivering recycled water from the Griffith Park South Water Recycling Project to all turf and landscape areas of the golf course and will include approx. 10,000 linear feet of plastic pipe mainlines, 35,000 linear feet of lateral lines, 300 electrically controlled valves and approx. 1200 electrically controlled valve in head adjustable sprinkler heads designed to apply water only where intended. A state of the art component of this project. The planned installation of the new pipelines will include pulling pipe as well as trenching duet to he soil profiles that exist at the site.
