Subject: Comments- Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration
For Phase 4 Emerald Glen Park and Recreation and Aquatic Center
Dear Mr. Rooney:
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the Notice of Intent to Adopt a
Mitigated Negative Declaration for Phase 4 Emerald Glen Park and Recreation and Aquatic
Center, located at the northwest corner of Tassajara Road and Central Parkway. This location in
the City of Dublin is within the service area where Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD)
currently provides potable water service, recycled water service and wastewater collection
services. As such, the project has interest for us in regards to item 17 of the Environmental
Impacts, Utilities and Service Systems.
This specific report does not anticipate any changes by the City that would impact DSRSD in
providing potable water, recycled water or wastewater collection and treatment services in the
City of Dublin. DSRSD will require this project to use recycled water for landscape irrigation in
those places where the use of recycled water meets DSRSD requirements and guidelines. We
also agree that the project would have a less than significant impact on the environment in the
area of utilities and service systems.
Sincerely,
STANLEY KOL DZIE, P.E.
