The Town of Windsor intends to prepare a Supplemental Environ-mental Impact Report (SEIR) to evaluate a storage facility for recycled water located on a Town-owned 168-acre parcel near the intersection of Eastside Road and Trenton-Healdsburg Road. A scoping meeting to receive public input on the scope of the SEIR will be held on Wednesday, November 28, 2007, 6 pm at Town of Windsor Council Chambers, 9291 Old Redwood Hwy., Windsor

The Scoping Meeting is an opportunity for you to provide your input about the project and what should be studied in the SEIR. A PDF copy of the Notice of Preparation (NOP) is available here.

Provide your input on the ERSP and the scope of the SEIR. Written scoping comments will be received until December 6, 2007. Written comments may be submitted to Craig Scott, 9291 Old Redwood Highway, P.O. Box 100, Windsor, CA. 95492-0100 or by email to: cscott@townofwindsor.com

The purpose of the Eastside Road Storage Project is to provide additional recycled water storage to meet current and future operational requirements of the Town’s recycled water system. Windsor’s wastewater is highly treated to a tertiary level, including ultraviolet disinfection, and it meets California Title 22 standards. New storage facilities are needed to balance seasonal irrigation demands and limitations on seasonal releases of recycled water to Mark West Creek.

The Town has estimated that up to 375 million gallons of new reclamation storage is needed at the Eastside Road Storage Project site, depending upon implementation of other storage and discharge options, for buildout of the Town’s Water Reclamation Service Area.

Exploration of this Web site will help you learn more about the steps the Town is taking to meet these needs. You can also get project information by downloading the Project Backgrounder (pdf).
