Document Description
Hearing to consider a request by the Cambria Community Services District (CCSD) for a Development Plan / Coastal Development Permit (DRC2013-00112) to allow for the continued operation of the CCSD Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) previously approved by the County Planning Department to operate on an emergency basis pursuant to the Emergency Coastal Development Permit (ZON2013-00589) issued May 15, 2014. The project includes the emergency permit components, including: the Advanced Water Treatment Plant, pipelines, a discharge to San Simeon Creek, four monitoring wells, recharge injection wells, conversion of the Van Gordon Reservoir to a brine evaporation pond, utilities, and access roads. Additionally, the project proposes new improvements to the access road, return of evaporation pond back to a reservoir, extension of discharge line to San Simeon Creek, and a Zero Liquid Discharge facility. The WRF would operate up to 24 hours per day, 5 days per week, for 7 months per year, depending on precipitation. The project site is within the Agriculture land use category and is located at 990 San Simeon Creek Road, approximately 0.65 miles north of the Cambria Urban Reserve Line and 1.23 miles south of the San Simeon Urban Reserve Line. The site is in the North Coast Area Plan of the Coastal Zone. Also to be considered is the determination that this project is consistent with the 2025 Addendum to the 2017 Subsequent Environmental Impact Reports for the Cambria Water Reclamation Facility (SCH # 2014061073).
