III. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING AND IMPACTSD. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITYTABLE III.D-7SUMMARY OF POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT WATER QUALITY IMPACTSDUE TO EXPANSION OF GOLF COURSE USESImpact-Inducing Policies or Management Actions a :! Policy WA18.1: Consider expansion of existing golf courses in zones of low vulnerability/sensitivity.Mitigating Policies or Management Actions a :! Policies WQ3, WQ15, WQ17, and WQ19: Minimize nutrient loading to the water supply, minimizeland uses and activities that can cause erosion and runoff, minimize the creation of impervious surfaces,and minimize the construction of new on-site waste treatment systems that could be associated withexpansion of the existing golf course.! Policy AR10: Minimize potential water quality impacts associated with expansion of golf course useby prohibiting certain activities within high water-quality vulnerability zones.! Policies F3, F5, and F6: Minimize potential water quality impacts associated with expansion of golfcourse use by requiring fire hazard reduction activities for new lessees and providing fire suppressionequipment needs.! Policies WA24 and WA25: Require a grading plan and require all lessees and permittees to complywith the Integrated Pesticide Management Plan and Chemical Application Management Program.! Actions env1 through env5: Ensure that any proposal for expansion of the existing golf course mustcomply with the California Environmental Quality Act.! Actions lea3, lea4, and lea5: Ensure that land use leases would include water quality protectionmeasures and monitoring plan.! Actions des1 and des2: Require a review process for all proposed plans and projects.! Action fic2: Authorize or prohibit specific lease or permit activities, based partially on impacts towater quality.! Action inf3: Record and update water quality data.a See Table II-1 for a description of each action.The Management Plan includes policies and management actions that provide general water qualityprotection and control measures, described below, that would be applicable for any proposedexpansion of the existing golf course. On a program-level, implementation of the mitigatingpolicies and management actions included in the Management Plan could reduce potential waterquality impacts associated with expanded golf course use to a less than significant level.Water Quality Policies WQ3, WQ15, WQ17, and W19 would minimize nutrient loading to thewater supply, minimize nutrient loading to the water supply, minimize land uses and activitiesthat can cause erosion and runoff, minimize the creation of impervious surfaces, and minimizethe construction of new on-site waste treatment systems that could be associated with expansionof the existing golf course. Aquatic Resources Policy AR10 would minimize potential waterquality impacts associated with expansion of golf course use by prohibiting certain activitieswithin high water quality vulnerability zones. Fire Policies F3, F5, and F6 would minimizeNOP 96.223E: Alameda Watershed Management Plan III.D-33 ESA / 930385January 2001
