This plan is being prepared to guide expansion of the facility to accommodate future growth in its service area. Accompanying the Facilities Plan is an environmental document being prepared by WESTEC Services, Inc.

Further meetings will be held to review the draft Facilities Plan and environmental documents in the future. No action is required by Council; simply an introduction to the environmental process. FISCAL IMPACT: The Facilities Plan and environmental documents are funded through the Encina budget previously approved by Council. EXHIBITS: Encina WPCF letter of September 8, 1987.

Hubbs, City Engineer Subject: Encina WPCF Facilities Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Scoping Meeting The Encina Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) is owned and operated by the Encina Joint Powers, whose members include the City of Vista, the City of Carlsbad, the Leucadia County Water District, the San Marcos County Water District, the Encinitas Sanitary District, and the Buena Sanitation District. Earlier this year, Encina's Joint Advisory Committee (JAC) authorized John Carollo Engineers to prepare a facilities plan evaluating treatment needs at the Encina WPCF through the year 2020. A draft Year 2020 Facilities Plan has been completed and will be reviewed with JAC at an upcoming meeting. The draft plan identifies treatment needs for the next increment of capacity (Phase IV) as well as long-term treatment needs. In the meantime, JAC authorized WESTEC Services, Inc. to prepare an EIR for the Facilities Plan. When the draft EIR is complete, a public hearing will be held as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines. However, to facilitate early-on public input to the EIR, JAC voted to expand the public participation effort during the EIR process beyond the minimum required by CEQA. As a result, three scoping sessions will be held before a draft EIR is completed, and an additional one or two meetings will be held once the draft EIR is released for public review. SWe would like to hold one of these scoping * sessions during your city's regularly scheduled City Council meeting on October--$7 1987. Other sessions will be held before the Vista Planning Commission and the Encinitas Planning Commission. The purpose of the scoping sessions is to allow the public an opportunity to express potential concerns over expansion of the Encina WPCF before the draft EIR is completed. The concerns would then be addressed in the draft EIR. Your scoping session would be led by David Claycomb and Fay Round representing WESTEC"s project team. Dennis Wood from Carollo Engineers and Encina staff would be present to respond to technical issues, and Encina's Public Information Officer, Carl Morrison, would participate as well. SERVING THE CITY OF VISTA, CITY OF CARLSBAD, BUENA SANITATION DISTRICT, SAN MARCOS COUNTY WATER DISTRICT, LEUCADIA COUNTY WATER DISTRICT AND ENCINITAS SANITARY DISTRICT September 8, 1987 Page 2 We look forward to working with you and your staff.
