4.12. UTILITIES<br />

4.12.2. SEWAGE DISPOSAL<br />

The Program EIR defInes the threshold <strong>of</strong> signifIcance regarding impact on sewage<br />

disposal as follows:<br />

"Impact on the sewer system is considered signifIcant if sewage generated by<br />

development will exceed the existing or planned capacity <strong>of</strong> the sewer collection<br />

or treatment system, or extend a sewer nunk line with capacity to serve new<br />

development...88<br />

Wastewater generated in the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Glendale</strong> is treated at the <strong>Glendale</strong>/Los Angeles<br />

Reclamation Plant and at the Hyperion Treatment Plant (collectively hereafter, HTP) in Los<br />

Angeles. The HTP has the capacity to provide treatment to approximately 420 million gallons<br />

per day (mgd) <strong>of</strong> wastewater, including a 10 mgd capacity for sewage delivery from the <strong>City</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Glendale</strong>. To date, the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Glendale</strong> has not exceeded this amount. Currently the HTP<br />

is treating an average daily flow <strong>of</strong> 380 mgd. Approximately 7.0 mgd <strong>of</strong> the sewage generated<br />

by the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Glendale</strong> are being sent to the HTP, leaving a large unutilized allotment <strong>of</strong> three<br />

mgd.<br />

The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Glendale</strong>'s sewer system that lies north <strong>of</strong> the Ventura Freeway and within<br />

the Redevelopment Area is considered inadequate, due to undersized sewer lines. However,<br />

as part <strong>of</strong> the public improvements included within the Redevelopment Plan, the sewer system<br />

shall be improved and expanded. A reclaimed water delivery system is being installed in the<br />

<strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Glendale</strong> and will be accessible to the project site by July <strong>of</strong> this year. 89 Reclaimed<br />

water can be used for irrigation, toilets, and air conditioning systems.<br />

As indicated in the Program EIR, the Redevelopment Plan would result in the generation<br />

<strong>of</strong> approximately 3,344,690 additional gallons per day (gpd) <strong>of</strong> sewage by the year 2027. In<br />

areas where development levels increase, system upgrades may be necessary. Adverse effects<br />
