UC DAVIS: Office of Resource Management and Planning April 24, 2006 DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS RE: UC Davis Arboretum Waterway Improvements Project The proposed Arboretum Waterway Improvements project is a water recycling project. The purpose of the project is to improve the water quality in the Arboretum Waterway, which is seasonally stagnant, by keeping water flowing through the waterway year-round. The project would consist of re-operating an existing, but currently unused, 18-inch pipeline to seasonally circulate tertiary-treated water from the existing campus wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) through the Arboretum Waterway before discharging it to Putah Creek. Tertiary-treated wastewater has undergone filtration that removes additional pathogens and contaminants and meets Department of Health Services' standards under Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations for unrestricted recycling uses. The campus's wastewater already is being discharged to Putah Creek, so the project would extend the route that the wastewater takes before discharge. The project would involve installation of two valves, a connecting pipeline, and an outfall structure in order to accomplish the project purpose. I am writing to inform you that 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 May 24, 2006. 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 May 24, 2006. They may be e-mailed to environreview@ucdavis.edu or mailed to: John A.
