PUBLIC HEARING:
(85) 22. AB ]I6199 - WASTEWATER RECLAMATION MASTER PLAN - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT-EIR.80--2. I I An introductory staff report was presented by th
Planning Director, essentially as contained in
his February 27, 1980 memo to the City Manager.
The staff report was continued by Charlie Grimm of the Planning Department, who referenced changes in the Planning Commission Minutes as
reflected in the new page distributed for substitutimn and incorporation in the EIR.
Mr. Grim explained the purpose of the EIR was
to address the impact of a wastewater reclamatio system on the entire area. Of the issues raised it was staffs' opinion that the most significant was that of growth inducement, in that accelerat growth would have an adverse impact unless coor- dinated with necessary services and utilities through a growth management plant.

Mr. Grimm stated the seco'nd issue was that of
water quality, in that use of reclaimed water ms
. increase siltation and salts. In that Carlsbad
was committed to the Regional 208 Water Plan,
individual plants should be inspected against si
Third in issue was that of solid waste managemer
Mr. Grimm explained Encina could act as a solids
handling plant, with each individual plant .as a
back up. This would require additional facilitj
at Encina along with land fills. Although odor
was not anticipated as a problem, staff involve-
ment with the system would identify any problem
in that regard.

Following introduction by Mr. Grimm, Council recognized Dennis O'Leary of Lowry & Associates,
who had prepared the Master Plan, 3505 Camino del Rio, South, San Diego, CA.
Mr. O'Leary explained the Master Plan was a guide for the system and with the aid of wall maps and transparencies, identified the area which had been studied, indicating same excluded the Lake Calavera Hills area. He additionally demonstrated areas in which reclaimed water could be used and, as the area was developed, indicated changes from agricultural use to urban use of the water. Mr. O'Leary explained satellite plants were proposed in the Palomar Airport, Batiquitos Lagoon and Byena Vista Lagoon areas which, together with Encina and Lake Calavera
Hills plant, would form the network system.
Council then recognized John Larson, Vice-
President of Recon, 1094 Cudahy Place, Suite 204, San Diego, CA, who had prepared the text of the EIR. Mr. Larson emphasized the EIR was not intended to serve as a detailed EIR, but only address the concept of the system and provide a framework and identify future require- ments for environmental review. In this regard, he indicated a site-specific EIR would be required for each plant..
Regarding water quality, Mr. Larson indicated discharge requirements and effluent standards were set by the Regional Water Quality Control Board and that this agency could be looked to
. to insure water quality.
Mr. Larson further indicated availability of. reclaimed water would encourage agricultural use of the land and explained the relation of this to the local coastal program, growth management plan and Council agricultural policy.
Mayor Packard then opened the public hearing at 7:15 P.M. and extended the invitation to speak.
Council recognized Jack Kubota, Post Office Box 1095, Carlsbad, CAY representing Costa Real Municipal Water District. Mr. Kubota expressed support of a wastewater reclamation system for the reasons as set forth in his December 28, 1979 letter to the Planning Department regarding the District's efforts and concerns re providing - , a continuing supply of water.
Although no other persons in the audience requested the opportunity to speak, it was the consensus of Council that the public hearing remain opened to allow further public input, if desired, during Council discussion.

Councilman.Skotnicki questioned excluding from
the area studied those areas which were covered by the Leucadia County and San Marcos County Water Districts.
Mr. Larson responded the geographical scope of
the study had been restricted to the area
directed by Council. However, expansion and
cooperation among the various districts were not precluded.
Councilman Skotnicki questioned the proposed Buena Vista plant, which appeared on the maps ' . but only briefly mentioned in the EIR written portion, in that same was owned by the City of Oceanside.
Mr. O'Leary responded explaining 'that plant had been identified as a potential minor plant.
Councilman Skotnicki referenced the statement on page 24 and questioned how no adverse impacts to water- quality were anticipated without site- specific information.
Mr. Larson responded that'in working with the RWQCB requirements, mitigation measures provided in the EIR were accurate at this point.
Councilman Skotnicki requested clarification of
statements regarding actual and potential
beneficial uses identified for any of the coastal
Mr. O'Leary explained per RWQCB, there were two
categories -- potential and actual. All uses
as set forth in the EIR are actual and exist at
this time. However, RWQCB anticipates that
new beneficial uses are emerging.
Councilman Skotnicki inquired as to the impact of the satellite concept on the future of Encina.
Mr. O'Leary responded it appeared there would be
little effect, other than that of delay.
Councilman Skotnicki inquired as to why 50% of
all reclaimed water would be disposed of in the ocean.
Mr. O'Leary indicated it was an economic question
If the cost of imported and local water continued
to increase, the cost of building storage tanks
to hold additional water may be justified.
Councilman Anear inquired into the proposal that Encina be a sludge handling facility.
Mr. O'Leary indicated it would be more cost
efficient for Encina to handle all s1udge;however it was recommended that each satellite facility be capable of handling their own in the event of a problem at Encina.
CITY OF CA-RLSBAD CBdlNCSLME
Mayor Packard then referenced page 8 which mentkons Encina having reclaimed water and questioned whether that was the existing Encina.
Mr. O'Leary responded affirmatively.
Mayor Packard referenced page 8 and questioned if completion of the total system would serve the entire city at saturation, along with proposed expansion of Encina.
The Public Works Administrator responded that all facilities in the program would take care of a population of 110,000, with the maximum population at between 150,000 and 200,000.
With regard to the plant proposed for the Palomar Airport area, Mayor Packard questioned whether industrial waste would be sent to Encina and, if so, whether a dual system would be.
required -- one for industrial and one for
residential waste.
Mr. O'Leary responded that if industrial waste was involved, a dual line would be necessary and required by the RWQCB.
As a point of clarification, Mayor Packard referenced page 1 which indicated that Encina was currently operating at capacity and explained that statement was based on the fact that all sewer connections which Encina could accomodate had been issued, whether on.line or
As no one expressed further interest in speaking, Mayor Packard closed the public hearing at 8:OO P.M.
