  • Description of Source Water System
    CHAPTER 2 DESCRIPTION OF THE SOURCE WATER SYSTEM 2.0 Description of the Source Water System During the last 100 years, the CSD’s water system has evolved into a very complex system. It is now estimated to serve a population of 1.4 million people spread out over 370 square miles (Table 2.1). The CSD treats imported raw water and local runoff water at three City WTPs which have a combined capacity of 378 MGD. The CSD treats water by conventional technologies using coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection. Recently, all CSD water treatment plants have been modified to provide for the addition of fluoride to the potable water supply. To ensure safe and palatable water quality, the CSD collects water samples at its reservoirs, WTPs, and throughout the treated water storage and distribution system. The CSD’s use of local and imported water to meet water demand is affected by availability, cost, and water resource management policies. Imported water availability decreases the need to carry over local water for dry years in City reservoirs. CSD policy is to use local water first to reduce imported water purchases; this policy runs the risk of increased dependence on imported water during local droughts.

Project Setting The project site, the focus of which is a 100-acre restoration site, encompasses an approximately 300-acre parcel (mitigation site) located in and owned by the City of Chula Vista in southwestern San Diego County, California (see Attachment 1 for all figures; see Figures 1 and 2, Regional and Local Vicinity Maps). The project site also includes portions of seven additional parcels upstream owned by the County of San Diego, City of San Diego, and United States of America Public Domain, that would be treated for weeds to protect the restoration site (see Figure 3, Parcels Map). The site occurs within the upper portion of the Lower Otay River Watershed, approximately 1 mile downstream from Savage Dam. It is generally south and west of the Lower Otay Reservoir and surrounded by open space largely within the Multi-Species Conservation Program (MSCP) preserve system managed in partnership by the City of Chula Vista, City of San Diego, and County of San Diego. The project site is designated as Open Space Preserve by the City of Chula Vista and Open Space Conservation and Recreation by the County of San Diego.

  • Chapter 3 Affected Environment 3.1
    CHAPTER 3 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 3.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter describes existing site characteristics and resources that may be affected by the Otay River Estuary Restoration Project (ORERP or proposed action). The approximately 165.3-acre project site is located within the South San Diego Bay Unit of the San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). The project site encompasses two separate, non-contiguous areas: the Otay River Floodplain Site and the Pond 15 Site. The 33.51-acre Otay River Floodplain Site consists of undeveloped land held in trust for the people of California by the State Lands Commission and leased to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) for management as a National Wildlife Refuge. The 90.90-acre Pond 15 Site is also leased to the Service from the State Lands Commission and is currently part of a component of the South Bay Salt Works, which operates on the San Diego Bay NWR under a Special Use Permit from the Service. This chapter analyzes project-specific environmental effects, and is intended to tier from the programmatic Environmental Impact Statement and Record of Decision for the San Diego Bay NWR Comprehensive Conservation Plan. The Environmental Impact Statement for the San Diego Bay NWR is incorporated by reference (USFWS 2006). 3.1.1 Regional and Historical Setting San Diego Bay and the San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge San Diego Bay is a natural embayment located entirely in San Diego County, California, that originated from the alluvial plains of the Otay, Sweetwater, and San Diego Rivers. The entrance to the nearly enclosed water body is located approximately 9 miles northwest of the project site.
