all conveyance facilities, pipeline, pumps, pumping stations and any other infrastructure
10
necessary to deliver the product water to interconnection points on their 54-inch diameter
transmission main; and12

mutually-acceptable interconnection points for the interconnection of the Appurtenant Facilities
I O
with the CMWD distribution system; and16
WHEREAS, it is desired to deliver desalinated water to CMWD's four existing connections

23 transmission main proceeding south in Business Park Drive from Lionshead Avenue, and to CWA
24 No. 2 through a 24" transmission main proceeding south in Melrose Drive from Lionshead

26 WHEREAS, to enable connections to the Delivery Points and to the Second Aqueduct in

1 necessary; accordingly, additional pipeline alignments and details, including an increase in the
2 diameter of the Appurtenant Facility desalinated water transmission main from 48" to 54", have
3 been proposed and are under review; and
4 WHEREAS, since pipeline alignments to serve the Delivery Points and Second Aqueduct
5 are still subject to review and environmental analysis, the Board of Director's accepting of Option
6 1 establishes its objective to provide all of the CMWD's service area with desalinated water but
7 does not approve the transmission main diameter increase or the alignments or details of these
8 pipelines; and
9 WHEREAS, Section 9.3 of the WPA stipulates that CMWD and Poseidon shall mutually
10 select a delivery regime for the delivery of Product Water from the seawater desalination facility to
11 CMWD; and

13 the imported water source through SDCWA and up to 80 percent of the CMWD water supply from
14 the desalinated water source through Poseidon; and
15 WHEREAS, the desalinated water supply would meet CMWD's water demand occurring
1^ at the beginning of operation of the desalination facility and Appurtenant Facilities and gradually
1' expand to CMWD's build-out water demand as projected in the 2003 Water Master Plan or
18 subsequent update.
1Q WHEREAS, since the action will not have any physical impact on the environment, the
20 consideration of the action is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that
21 have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. In this case, it can be seen
22 with certainty that there is no possibility that the action may have a significant effect on the
93
environment and it is not subject to CEQA pursuant to CEQA regulation 15061 (b)(3).
