STAFF REPORT
Subject:
Date:
Waterman Avenue Air Stripping Towers
October 8, 1986
Mayor and Council Meeting of October 20, 1986
The City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department is proposing
to construct an air stripping facility at the Waterman Reservoir to
treat contaminated groundwater. The subject site is located at
Horine Park which is north of 30th Street, west of Waterman Avenue,
south of Edgemont Drive and east of Leroy Street.
The air stripping facility consists of two 45-foot air stripping
towers, a 25 foot by 80 foot building that will house blowers,
controls and a new office, a 20-24 inch pipe to bring water into
the facility.and a 20-24 inch pipe to take water from the air
strippers to the Waterman Reservoir.
The Supplement to the Preliminary Environmental Description form
for the Waterman Air Stripping Project details the project descrip-
tion and location and analyzes potential environmental impacts.
The concentration of contaminants to be dispersed into the atmos-
phere are below levels that could present human health concerns as
explained further in the Supplement to the Preliminary Environmental
Description Form. However, prior to project implementation, the
Water Department must obtain a permit from the South Coast Air
Quality Management District for the dispersal of any contaminants
into the atmosphere.
At its meeting of October 2, 1986, the Environmental Review Committee
recommended a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact subject to
the following mitigation measures:
The booster pumps shall be enclosed in a structure to
reduce the impacts from noise. This will allow contin-
ued use of the picnic area and tot lot adjacent to the
proposed towers.
periodic testing of the water shall be done after chlorine
has been added and after the water is aerated through this
system to ensure that the chlorine added does not increase
the level of trihalomethanes in the water.
