Olivenhain Municipal Water District 2004 Comprehensive Master Plan Program Environmental Impact Report

Olivenhain Municipal Water District 2004 Comprehensive Master Plan Program Environmental Impact Report

OMWD completed a Draft Comprehensive Master Plan (CMP) in August 2004 that addresses the District's existing facilities and future needs within a 50-year time horizon, commencing in the year 2004. The CMP is intended to be a guideline for OMDW staff and management responsible for the planning and implementation of future capital improvement projects. The CMP is generally based on a review of previous planning efforts and an analysis of existing conditions (facilities and customer demands) to derive recommendations for system improvements. The CMP is typically updated approximately every five years to react and adjust to the realities of customer demand, new tachnology, and the effects/implications of system aging. The CMP is a key planning tool and is the focal point for deciding on the make-up of OMWD's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and other facility rehabilitation/replacement needs. The use of a PEIR is the first logical step in achieving environmental compliance under CEQA for projects included in the CMP. Some of these project will not be individually evaluated in the PEIR because the specific project may be: (1) a developer-funded project that will be considered under a separate environmental document; (2) excluded from the CEQA environmental review process because the project would qualify for an exemption under CEQA Guideline section 15300 et seq; or (3) is not anticipated to occur in the near future (within 5 years), and its thus too speculative and lacking in details to analyze at this time.
