RE: Steam Expansion Phase 1 Draft Tiered Initial Study

UC Davis proposes to construct and operate the Steam Expansion Phase 1 project 
to add heating and cooling capacity to meet projected campus needs for steam 
production through 2011.  In addition, the project would increase the reliability 
of the steam plant by providing sufficient capacity to allow for routine 
maintenance, unexpected shutdowns, and exceptional peaks in heating and cooling 
demand.  The Steam Expansion Phase 1 project will provide a new 150,000 pound per 
hour boiler and ancillary equipment in a new building of approximately 6,000 
assignable square foot at the existing UC Davis Central Heating and Cooling Plant.  

A Draft Tiered Initial Study has been prepared analyzing the potential environmental 
effects of the proposed project.  You are invited to comment on the Draft Tiered 
Initial Study and proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration through August 3.  Copies 
of the Draft Tiered Initial Study and proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration are 
available during normal operating hours at the UC Davis Office of Resource 
Management and Planning in 376 Mrak Hall on campus; at Reserves in the UC Davis 
Shields Library; at the Yolo County Public Library, 315 E. 14th Street, Davis; at 
the Vacaville Public Library, 1020 Ulatis Drive, Vacaville; and online at 
http://www.ormp.ucdavis.edu/environreview/. 

The public notice for this project is also available online at 
http://www.ormp.ucdavis.edu/environreview/.  The notice includes a brief project 
description, a statement of project objectives, and a summary of potential impacts. 

Comments on this Draft Tiered Initial Study must be received by 5:00 p.m. on 
August 3, 2005.  They may be e-mailed to environreview@ucdavis.ed or mailed
