Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project is the installation of a municipal groundwater supply well that will augment supply that was lost by previously abandoned wells within the City's limits. The proposed location is within an existing and developed site utilized for water storage and delivery within the City of Santa Clara. The site currently contains booster pumps, a generator, and three water storage tanks ranging in size from 4.2 to 4.6 million gallons in capacity that the City uses to send municipal water to customers. The project also involves new construction of the well which will include utility extensions to connect the new well to the existing distribution system that is present at the Serra Tanks site. In addition, the project involves only minor alterations to land in an already developed site that is generally flat. The project does not involve any tree removal and no sensitive biological resources would be impacted by the drilling of the well and the construction of the pump station.
