However, there will undoubtedly be site -specific propo: i1s with larger demand. For example, large irrigation systems can exceed 50-gpm/acre demand. Other land uses with demands much lower than 2.7 gpm/acre, such as warehouses, are assumed to occur to offset the higher demand land uses, resulting in an overall area wide averagu of 2.7 gpm/acre. The impacts of construction of the new water line to service development west of Japanese Gulch were not covered in the EIS. Additional SEPA analy.tis is required to review alternative routes for the line which will minimize the impacts of the proposal. 8.6.3 Mitigation Measures 1. Looped water mains may be required for some sites to meet fire flow requirements and to protect water quality. Pressure reducing valves may be required when looped systoans are constructed. (SEPA Public Services and Utilities Policies) 2. Developments must construct improvements necessary to provide a water pressure of 40-80 psi under normal operating conditions as required by Public Works. (SEPA Public Services and Utilities Policies) 3. Recycling of runoff water from bus or truck washing facilities is required. (SEPA Public Services and Utilities Policies) 4. New water system facilities must avoid environmentally sensitive areas to the maximum extent possible. Where water lines must be con :tructcd through environmentally sensitive areas, nest management practices must be followed. (See the mitigation measures discussed in Section 4) (SEPA Earth, Water, and Plant and Animal Policies) 5. Where utility connections are required through adjacent properties or connecting into residential areas, easements must be located in such a manner as to minimize the visual impact on the adjoining properties to the greatest extent feasible and must be revegetated in accordance with a landscaping plan approved by the Planning Department. Landscaping must be consistent with Engineering and Public Services requirements for protection and maintenance of the utility easement and facilities and should consist of native shrubs and groundcover. (SEPA Land and Shoreline Use, Plant and Animal, and Public Services and Utilities Policies) 6. See Condition 4 on page 21. (SEPA Land and Shoreline Use, Plant and Animal, and Public Services and Utilities Policies) 7. Individual developments may be responsible for funding all or a portion of the water system capital improvements as shown in Table 8-1 (Table 3.8-2 in the EIS).
