WHEREAS:

3. The Division of Clean Water Programs (Division) has approved the project report, environmental documents, and draft revenue program, for the Treatment Plant, Storage, and Disposal Improvement Project;

4. The District adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration/Initial Study and a Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration (State Clearinghouse No. 98122014) for the proposed project, which have been reviewed and considered, and it has been determined that the proposed project will not result in any significant negative environmental impacts; and
