Document Description
JCSD was formed in 1956 to install a sewer system within its service area. The District is a public agency and retail water supplier (Public Water System No. CA3310021) that began water service in 1965 with the consolidation of three mutual water companies. The District's boundaries are shown on Figure 2 - Vicinity Map, attached hereto. On September 13, 2021, the District Board of Directors approved adopted the 2020 Wastewater Master Plan, which includes a Capital Improvement Program (GIP) that identifies recommended facilities to alleviate existing and forecasted deficiencies in the JCSD's wastewater systems. The Wastewater Master Plan identified that the Country Village Apartments Sewer has a total of 6 full-flow failures and 12 hydraulic deficiencies in the existing dry-weather scenario, and 6 full-flow failures and 19 hydraulic deficiencies in the ultimate wet-weather scenario; thus, replacement is required in order to serve the District's existing needs. (Wastewater Master Plan, p. 7-2.)
The project consists of the replacement of approximately 5,350 feet of 8-inch diameter sewer pipeline with 10- and 12-inch diameter polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sewer pipelines within A Street (1,050 feet of 10-inch diameter pipeline), Emma Street (1,700 feet of 10-inch diameter pipeline), C Street (450 feet of 12-inch diameter pipeline), Eve Circle (650 feet of 12-inch diameter pipeline), and South Lynn Circle (950 feet of 10-inch diameter pipeline).
Construction of the Country Village Apartments Sewer will take place within a 25-foot wide construction footprint, in a trench approximately six to seven feet wide. Construction will include trenching, backfill and compaction. No right-of-way (ROW) acquisition is required for this project. All staging areas will be within the paved road or road shoulder ROW along the pipeline alignment. Since this facility is currently paved, no vegetation removal is required and A Street, Emma Street, C Street, Eve Circle, and South Lynn Circle will be returned to its original condition.
Beneficiaries of the project are Jurupa Community Service District customers, which include residential and commercial uses.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 2 Exemption - Replacement or reconstruction (§15302(c))
Reasons for Exemption
The project is categorically exempt from CEQA under the Class 2 exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines §15302, which exempts the "...replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced." CEQA Guidelines §15302(c) identifies "[r]eplacement or reconstruction of existing utility systems and/or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of capacity…” as a type of project that fits within the Class 2 exemption.
The Country Village Apartments Sewer is currently operational. The project consists of the replacement of existing sewer pipelines in order to address existing full-flow failures and hydraulic deficiencies in order to serve the District’s existing needs. The replacement will be located at the same site as the existing sewer and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the sewer being replaced. As such, the project is consistent with the categorical exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines §15302(c).
Finally, none of the exceptions to the categorical exemptions apply here. The project will not have any cumulative impacts; there is no reasonable possibility that the project will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances; the project does not affect any scenic highways or historical resources; and it is not located on a hazardous waste site.
