(Appendix G of SEIR No. 339) Urban Water Management Plan, Malcolm Pirnie, 2011. 5.6.1 Environmental Setting Wastewater Treatment and Collection The City of Anaheim’s local sanitary sewer system serves the project vicinity and is tributary to the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD). The OCSD service area comprises 480 square miles of northern and central Orange County. OCSD operates 579 miles of sewer lines, 15 offsite pumping station, two regional wastewater treatment plants, and an ocean disposal system. Wastewater flows by gravity from the City sewer system to OCSD’s trunk and interceptor sewers, and then to regional treatment and disposal facilities. Wastewater from Honda Center is collected in City sewers, then discharged into the Olive Subtrunk in Katella Avenue; then into the Newhope-Placentia Trunk at State College Boulevard; then into the Santa Ana River Interceptor (SARI) line; these three facilities are described further below. Olive Subtrunk. The Olive Subtrunk is located along Katella Avenue and continues in a westerly direction to connect to the Newhope-Placentia Trunk at State College Boulevard. The size of the ---PAGE BREAK--- 5. Environmental Analysis UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS Page 5.6-2 January 2012 line within that reach ranges from 24 to 30 inches in diameter. The Olive Subtrunk also collects sewage from areas east of the Santa Ana River. All flows east of the Santa Ana River can be diverted to the SARI. Newhope-Placentia Trunk. The Newhope-Placentia Trunk ranges in diameter from 33 to 42 inches and flows south down State College Boulevard to Orangewood Avenue. At Orangewood Avenue, the Newhope-Placentia Trunk branches out to both the east and west, conveying wastewater in two directions. The western branch turns to the west past the western boundary of the stadium to Lewis Street, then south to Lewis Street through the City of Orange to the County SARI. Santa Ana River Interceptor. The SARI line, a regional brine line, is designed to convey 30 million gallons per day (mgd) of nonreclaimable wastewater from the upper Santa Ana River basin to OCSD Treatment Plant No. 2. The nonreclaimable wastewater consists of desalter concentrate, industrial wastewater, and domestic wastewater. A sewer study was conducted in 2006 analyzing sewer improvements needed to accommodate buildout of the Platinum Triangle. Approximately 1,000 feet of new OCSD backbone sewer have recently been built along Katella Avenue east of State College Boulevard in response to the 2006 study. OCSD operates two wastewater treatment plants: Reclamation Plant No. 1, located in Fountain Valley; and Treatment Plant No. 2, located in Huntington Beach. OCSD plans to upgrade the level of wastewater treatment at both of its treatment plants to meet secondary treatment standards for the projected 2020 effluent flow of 240 to 320 mgd. The effluent discharge to the ocean is a blend of advanced primary and secondary treated wastewater as specified in the OCSD’s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Plant No. 1 is located at 10844 Ellis Avenue in the City of Fountain Valley, about four miles northeast of the ocean. The plant receives wastewater from six major sewer pipes and provides advanced primary and secondary treatment. Secondary effluent is either blended with advanced primary effluent and routed to the ocean disposal system, or is sent to the Orange County Water District (OCWD) for further treatment and distribution for reclaimed water uses. Plant No. 1 has a maximum capacity of 204 million gallons per day (mgd), and treats an average of 86 mgd. The balance of effluent from Plant No. 1, roughly 16.7 mgd, is sent to Reclamation Plant No. 2 at 22212 Brookhurst Street in the City of Huntington Beach, about 1,500 feet from the ocean, and is subsequently discharged through the ocean outfall system. Plant No. 2, which receives wastewater from five major sewers in addition to Plant No. 1, has an average treatment flow rate of 124 mgd and a maximum treatment capacity of 168 mgd (McNelly 2010). The treated wastewater is released into the Pacific Ocean through a pipeline 200 feet below the surface on the ocean floor, approximately four miles off the coast of Huntington Beach. Wastewater Generation Existing wastewater generation by Honda Center is estimated to be 95 percent of water use; that is, all indoor water use, estimated to be 95 percent of total water use. Water use is estimated as 55,700 gallons per day (gpd) based on data from the Honda Center; thus, wastewater generation is estimated 52,915 gpd. ---PAGE BREAK--- 5. Environmental Analysis UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS Honda Center Enhancement Project Draft EIR City of Anaheim Page 5.6-3 Water Supply Anaheim Public Utilities Department The Anaheim Public Utilities Department (APUD) provides water service to the Honda Center. APUD’s water service area population currently is approximately 365,000 and is expected to increase to approximately 433,000 by the year 2035. Figure 5.10-2, City of Anaheim Public Utilities Department Service Area shows the service area boundaries. The basic water services include single-family residential, multifamily residential, and general services commercial, industrial, municipal, and institutional) consumers. APUD’s current major water system facilities consist of eight purchased water connections to MWD (one untreated and seven treated water connections), 18 active wells, one 920- million-gallon (mg) reservoir for untreated water, one 15 mgd water treatment plant, 13 treated water reservoirs with 38.75 mg of total treated storage capacity, permanent chlorination facilities at various sites, nine booster pump stations, approximately 752 miles of water mains, and approximately 7,800 fire hydrants. The two nearest City transmission mains (that is, 16 inches or more in diameter) are in State College Boulevard, and in Katella Avenue extending westward from State College Boulevard, respectively. APUD’s water system serves areas ranging in elevation from less than 60 feet to over 1,200 feet above sea level (asl). To provide appropriate operating pressures for such a wide range of elevations, the water system is divided into 18 pressure zones. The lowest pressure zone operates at a static hydraulic grade line (HGL) elevation of 220 feet asl and the highest pressure zone at a static HGL elevation of 1,320 feet asl. APUD’s water distribution system is generally divided into two main geographic areas: the Flatland Area (555 HGL elevation and below) and the Hill and Canyon Area (585 HGL elevation and above). The Flatland Area is approximately 22,500 acres, situated generally north and west of the Santa Ana River, and can be almost entirely served by groundwater (with MWD imported water supplementing as necessary). The project site is located in the Flatland Area. The Hill and Canyon Area is approximately 9,060 acres, situated generally south and east of the Santa Ana River, and served primarily by the imported water from MWD and the Lenain Water Treatment Plant (LWTP). Groundwater The primary source of groundwater for the City is the Orange County Groundwater Basin (Basin) that underlies the north half of Orange County beneath broad lowlands. The Basin covers an area of approximately 350 square miles, bordered by the Coyote Hills and Chino Hills to the north, the Santa Ana Mountains to the northeast, the Pacific Ocean to the southwest, and terminating at the Orange County line to the northwest, where its aquifer systems continue into the Central Basin of Los Angeles County. To ensure that the Basin is not overdrawn, OCWD recharges the Basin with local and imported water. Groundwater conditions in the Basin are influenced by the natural hydrologic conditions and the Basin is recharged primarily by four sources: 1) local rainfall, which varies due to the extent of the annual seasonal precipitation; 2) storm and base flows from the Santa Ana River, which includes recycled wastewater from treatment plants in Riverside and San Bernardino counties; 3) imported water; and 4) highly treated recycled wastewater. The production capability of the Basin has increased as a result of increased wastewater reclamation and the blending of waters of different qualities to produce high-quality potable water for public distribution. ---PAGE BREAK--- 5. Environmental Analysis UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS Page 5.6-4 January 2012 The most recent example of a highly successful OCWD wastewater reclamation project is the construction and operation of OCWD’s new $500 million water-purification plant, which is designed to turn wastewater into drinking water. This new Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS) project currently treats and recharges up to 70 million gallons per day of wastewater back into the Basin for future potable use. This equates to the recycling of over 72,000 acre feet per year of wastewater back into the Basin for future extraction and potable use. Additionally, the approved expansion of the GWRS will increase the recharge capacity to 90,000 afy. Imported Water (Surface Water) MWD is the wholesale water agency that serves supplemental imported water from northern California through the State Water Project (SWP) and from the Colorado River to 26 member agencies located in portions of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Ventura counties. The City of Anaheim is one of only three retail member agencies of MWD in Orange County. As a member agency, pursuant to the Metropolitan Act, the City has preferential rights to a certain percentage of water delivered to MWD each year primarily from the SWP and/or the Colorado River Aqueduct as well as other MWD storage programs. As a member agency of MWD, the City receives water directly from MWD, as opposed to other agencies in Orange County that obtain their imported MWD water through Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC). The City purchases both treated potable and untreated nonpotable water from MWD. The treated water is delivered through MWD connections A-01 through A-07 via five major feeders. Untreated MWD water is delivered to the City's Walnut Canyon Reservoir (WCR) through MWD Connection A-08 via the Santiago Lateral of the Lower Feeder System, and this water is treated by the LWTP. WCR has a total capacity of 2,823 af (920 mg).Together, the WCR and LWTP form a receiving, storage, and treatment facility. Recycled Water Until recently, the City’s water supply did not include recycled water. The recently completed Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS) by the Orange County Water District (OCWD) delivers some highly treated wastewater from Fountain Valley to spreading basins in Anaheim for groundwater recharge. The City is now using GWRS water at its recently completed Canyon Power Plant for cooling and emission control purposes and may be able to use some of the water from the GWRS for other non- potable uses in the future. The City has also entered into an agreement with OCWD for use of the GWRS water at the future Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC). In addition, the City is currently constructing a water recycling demonstration facility at the City Hall complex. In its initial phase, the facility would provide approximately 20 to 55 AFY of recycled water for landscape irrigation and toilet flushing. APUD requires separate irrigation services for any new landscaped area larger than 2,500 square feet in the City, including properties within the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan, the Disneyland Resort Specific Plan, and the Platinum Triangle, which will enable easy conversion to recycled water if and when it becomes available. Water Supplies available to APUD are summarized below in Table 5.6-1. ---PAGE BREAK--- 5.

This equals approximately 56,500 gallons per day (gpd), or 62.4 AFY. 1 Correspondence with Kevin Starkey, Vice President of Operations, Honda Center, June 29, 2011. ---PAGE BREAK--- 5. Environmental Analysis UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS Page 5.6-6 January 2012 Reliability of Long-Term Water Supply The 2010 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) prepared for APUD by Malcolm Pirnie assessed reliability of groundwater and imported water in normal year, single-dry-year, and multiple-dry-year conditions for the 2015 – 2035 period. Water supplies were found to be fully reliable to meet projected demands in normal water year, single dry year, and multiple-dry-year conditions throughout the 2015 – 2035 period. 5.6.2 Thresholds of Significance According to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, a project would normally have a significant effect on the environment if the project: U-1 Would exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board. U-2 Would require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects. U-3 Would require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects. U-4 Would not have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources, and new and/or expanded entitlements would be needed. U-5 Would result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that has inadequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments. U-6 Would be served by a landfill with insufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project’s solid waste disposal needs. U-7 Would not comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste. U-8 Would result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations related to electricity. U-9 Would result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations related to natural gas. U-10 Would result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alteration related to telephone service. U-11 Would result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations related to television service/reception. ---PAGE BREAK--- 5. Environmental Analysis UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS Honda Center Enhancement Project Draft EIR City of Anaheim Page 5.6-7 The Initial Study, included as Appendix A, substantiates that impacts associated with the following thresholds would be less than significant: Threshold U-1 Threshold U-3 Thresholds U-5 through U-11 These impacts will not be addressed in the following analysis. 5.6.3 Environmental Impacts The following impact analysis addresses thresholds of significance for which the Initial Study disclosed potentially significant impacts. The applicable thresholds are identified in brackets after the impact statement. IMPACT 5.6-1: PROJECT-GENERATED SEWAGE WOULD BE ADEQUATELY TREATED BY THE ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT. [THRESHOLDS U-1, U-2 (PART), AND U-5] Impact Analysis: Project Wastewater Generation The proposed project includes increasing the number of annual events from 162 events to 222 events per year. This will increase the amount of wastewater treated on an annual basis, however, this is not relevant in analyzing wastewater impacts because trunk line and treatment plant capacity is based on peak daily flows. The proposed project includes other minor enhancements including an enlarged team store and the addition of 15,364 square feet of restaurant space. It should be noted that the proposed restaurants would only be open on event days, before, during, and after the events and would only be open to event attendees. The peak daily flow generated by the Honda Center will not change substantially because there is no expansion of the capacity of the arena proposed. However, the project includes two elements that would generate additional wastewater: a. Development of 15,364-square feet of restaurant space b. Development of a 5,846-square foot team store. Forecast wastewater generation by those two proposed uses is shown below in Table 5.6-3. Therefore, total wastewater generation by the facility at project completion would be 52,915 gpd by the existing facility plus 3,181.5 gpd by the proposed additions, for a total of 56,096.5 gpd. ---PAGE BREAK--- 5.

Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) generation factors were not used because factors are in gallons per day per acre and not by square footage. However, converting the OCSD generation factors to square feet would result in 0.48 acres of new development. Using OCSD’s sewerage generation factor of 2,262 gallons per day per acre for retail/commercial uses would result in an increase of 1,085.8 gallons per day of wastewater due to the Proposed Project. Reclamation Plant No. 1 facility located in Fountain Valley, California is currently undergoing and preparing for construction upgrades. (OCSD 2011) Plant No. 1 currently treats an average influent wastewater flow of approximately 97 million gallons per day. After the upgrades and secondary expansion projects, the total design capacity of Plant No. 1 will be approximately 180 mgd. OCSD’s Treatment Plant No. 2, located in Huntington Beach, California, is in the midst of overhauling major components of its operation. Projects listed below include upgrades to the facility that will help OCSD meet secondary treatment standards. Plant No. 2 currently treats an average influent wastewater flow of approximately 110 million gallons per day. After the upgrades and secondary expansion projects, the total design capacity of Plant No. 2 will be approximately 150 mgd. Therefore, there is adequate wastewater treatment capacity at the two OCSD wastewater treatment plants to accommodate forecast project wastewater generation and therefore the proposed project will not result in significant impacts with respect to wastewater treatment capacity. Wastewater Conveyance In June 2009, CH2M HILL prepared a technical memorandum entitled the Combined Central Anaheim Area Master Plan of Sanitary Sewers (CCAAMPSS) for the Revised Platinum Triangle Expansion Project – Draft Subsequent Environmental Impact Report No. 339 (June 2009 CCAAMPSS), included in Appendix G of the DSEIR for the Platinum Triangle project. This technical memorandum incorporated the development intensities analyzed by the June 2006 sewer study and subsequent revisions to the project. For modeling purposes of the June 2009 CCAAMPSS, the permitted development intensities were distributed into subareas to accurately reflect the total increased development intensity. Because this modeling approach removed the need to generalize numbers, some subareas showed less development intensities when compared to the June 2006 sewer study even though the overall intensity amount was greater. The distribution of the development intensities is shown in Attachment 1 of the June 2009 CCAAMPSS. The June 2009 CCAAMPSS ran 12 models (Models 15, 28B, 47, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, and 123) following the sanitary flow modeling methodology of the CCAAMPSS, which is based on using diurnal curves, rather than using the traditional peaking factor method. The diurnal curve method better represents the pattern of sanitary wastewater flows generated by a type of land use over a 24-hour period. The models refer to sections of the Platinum Triangle site. The new model run incorporated the three stretches of new backbone sewers in Models 117, 28b, and 47. The proposed amendment to the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan (DSEIR No. 340) was incorporated into Model 15 for the cumulative impact. The June 2009 CCAAMPSS determined that the Platinum Triangle project would require upsizing of 7,373 linear feet of sewer pipe in Models 15, 28B, 47, 119, 120, 121, and 122. The locations and of each segment of pipe requiring upsizing are listed and shown in the CCAMPASS Study (CH2M Hill 2009). ---PAGE BREAK--- 5. Environmental Analysis UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS Honda Center Enhancement Project Draft EIR City of Anaheim Page 5.6-9 Honda Center is in Model 115. No sewer improvements for the Platinum Triangle project were determined to be required for Model 115. Model 119 is on the opposite (south) side of Katella Avenue from Honda Center. Replacement of about 370 feet of a sewer main in Model 119 just south of Katella Avenue with 15-inch-diameter pipe was found to be needed. The sewer that would require upgrading is continuous with a sewer passing through Model 115. Most of the project-related increase in wastewater generation would be due to increasing the number of days Honda Center was used. Two events on the same day have only occurred on two occasions (Starkey 2011). The increase in wastewater generation due to the proposed building additions would be approximately 6 percent over the existing rate (3,181.5 gpd/52,915 gpd). The balance of project-generated increase in wastewater generation would result from increased number of event days at the facility. As stated previously, this will increase the amount of wastewater treated on an annual basis, however, this is not relevant in analyzing wastewater impacts because trunk line and treatment plant capacity is based on peak daily flows. Thus, the project is not anticipated to require upsizing of sewer mains serving Honda Center to accommodate the project-related increase in wastewater generation. IMPACT 5.6-2: WATER SUPPLY AND DELIVERY SYSTEMS ARE ADEQUATE TO MEET PROJECT REQUIREMENTS. [THRESHOLDS U-2 (PART) AND U-4] Impact Analysis: Estimated Project Water Demands The method for estimating project-related water demand is as follows: 1. Estimating project-related increase in daily water demand due to proposed expansions of the facility. Based on the Water Supply Assessment prepared for the Platinum Triangle, water use is estimated to be 195 gpd/ksf for commercial uses. Therefore, water demand resulting from proposed enhancements to Honda Center would be approximately 4,136 gpd. As existing water demand is approximately 55,700 gpd, total daily water demand after completion of the enhancements would be about 59,836 gpd (67.0 AFY). 2. Forecasting annual water demand by added events, using the post-project water demand rate. The proposed project would increase the number of events at the facility from 162 to 222 per year, a 37.0 percent increase. A 37 percent increase above the current water demand of 20.34 million gallons per year is 27.87 million gallons per year (85.4 AFY). Forecast Water Supplies and Water Reliability Forecast APUD water supplies are described above in Table 5.6-1. Water supplies are forecast to increase from 72,400 to 77,700 AFY between 2015 and 2035, an increase of 5,300 AFY. Demands for APUD water are also forecast to increase, corresponding to the increase in water supplies. Estimated water demand increases between 2010 and 2035 (see Table 5.6-2 above) include increases for commercial/industrial, residential, and other land uses. The estimated project-related increase in water demand, 4,136 gpd or 23.1 AFY, is within the estimated increase in APUD water supplies. There are adequate water supplies available to APUD for the proposed project’s water demands, and the project would not require new or expanded water supplies. ---PAGE BREAK--- 5. Environmental Analysis UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS Page 5.6-10 January 2012 The water supply assessment for the Platinum Triangle found that forecast APUD water supplies would be adequate to supply Platinum Triangle water demands through the 2010 – 2030 period in normal water year, single dry year, and multiple dry year conditions (Psomas 2009). Water Delivery System Rule 15-D of Anaheim’s Water Rules, Rates and Regulations specifies approved water facility improvements in the project vicinity that have either been completed or are in planning stages. One improvement near Honda Center has been approved but has not yet been constructed: a 16-inch water main in Katella Avenue at State College to Well #45; the water main segment would be 1,300 feet long. Furthermore, the APUD indicated that the proposed increase in development intensities resulting from the Platinum Triangle project would require an improvement to the current water facilities near Honda Center, a new transmission main in Douglass Road from Katella to the Anaheim Stadium loop. As with wastewater generation, most of the project-related increase in water demand would result from an increase in the number of days the Honda Center would be used. The increase in water demand due to the proposed added facilities would be about 7.4 percent of existing water demand; the remaining increase would be due to added days of usage. Therefore, the project is not expected to require substantial upsizing of water mains serving Honda Center. Compliance with Rule 15-D would ensure that adequate water facilities are provided to serve the proposed project. 5.6.4 Cumulative Impacts The Proposed Project along with other cumulative development would result in substantial increases in wastewater generation and water demand. Impacts to utilities and service systems would occur incrementally to cause cumulative impacts and require upgrades to existing systems. Implementation timing of other related projects such as the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) and the Anaheim Resort Area Specific Plan Amendment would also impact the service provider’s ability to provide adequate services. However, increased demands within the Platinum Triangle and the Anaheim Resort have been planned and the infrastructure necessary to serve future development has been identified. Mitigation measures for the necessary improvements within the Platinum Triangle have been identified in SEIR No. 339. Similar mitigation measures are being considered in DSEIR No. 340 for Amendment No. 14 to the Anaheim Resort Area Specific Plan. Therefore, cumulative impacts to utility systems can be mitigated to a less than significant level without exceeding or jeopardizing service levels. 5.6.5 Existing Regulations and Standard Conditions City of Anaheim Municipal Code Chapter 10.18 - Water Conservation Ordinance No. 6138 (adopted April 14, 2009). APUD shall monitor and evaluate the projected supply and demand for water by its customers. APUD shall recommend to the City Council such Water Reduction Plan(s) as provided in the Municipal Code Chapter 10.18, which permit APUD to prudently plan for and supply water to its customers. The City Council may, by resolution, order implementation of such Water Reduction Plan(s) as appropriate. At any time, the City Council may discontinue any Plan, modify any Plan, or may implement another Plan as provided in this chapter.
