Title: | South Bay Recycling Program - Phase 1C Projects |
---|---|
Summary: | The City of San Jose (City) has planned and implemented the San Jose Nonpotable Reclamation Project, now known as the South Bay Water Recycling Program (Program), to provide recycled water for industrial and a variety of irrigation uses, including agriculture and landscaping in institutional, commercial, and residential areas. The Program includes installing pipelines, pump stations, storage tanks, and appurtenant facilities. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), pursuant to funding provided through Title XVI of Public Law 102-575, has been providing up to 25 percent of the total project cost to the City to help fund the Program. The City certified a final environmental impact report (EIR) for the Program in November 1992. Reclamation released a final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Program in May 1996 and issued a record of decision in July 1996. The EIR and the EIS evaluated both project-level effects for those pipelines and users that had been identified at that time, and programmatic-level analysis for the rest of the Program. The City has continued to design additional pipelines and associated facilities within the Program area. For all of these additional projects, the City has adopted addenda to the Program EIR. Reclamation has continued to provide funding for these projects under Title XVI and has prepared EAs and categorical exclusion checklists, tiering off of the original EIS, as required by the National Environmental Policy Act. The Phase 1C projects are the latest projects that the City has planned. These are all extensions from existing water recycling pipelines. Reclamation would provide Federal funds to share in the cost of the projects through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (P.L. 111-5) as well as through Title XVI of Public Law 102-575). |
