Ease of Land Acquisition [Acquire Land] - type of ownership, and minimal number <br />of landowners, jurisdictions, mining claims. <br /> <br />. Minimize Visual Impacts [Minimize] - screened or buffered by natural or manmade <br />features (e.g. riverbeds, hills, freeways, roads, open space, parks). <br /> <br />. Impacts on Biological/Cultural Resources [Bio/CulturaI] - no or limited impacts on <br />endangered or threatened plant species, animal habitats, historic or archaeological <br />sites. <br /> <br />. Residents [Residents] - no or limited impacts on residents in the vicinity. <br /> <br />. Hydrogeology [Hydrogeology] - efficiency of recharge based on most suitable soil <br />characteristics and depth to ground water. <br /> <br />. Ability to Obtain Permits [Permits] - that meet environmental requirements (e.g. <br />aquifer protection, distance from airport, environmentally sensitive areas). <br /> <br />. Single Site Facility [Single Site] - opportunity to achieve all recharge at one site. <br /> <br />The results of the preference poll are presented in the following charts. Hydrogeology and ability to <br />obtain pennits were the most significant factors of concern. It was generally accepted that the ability <br />to obtain permits factor included the concern for the protection of the environment and public health. <br />There was also discussion about the importance of obtaining a single site for the recharge facility. <br /> <br /> <br />DAMES & MOORE <br /> <br />Project WATERS Phase 2 <br />Oclobef 1996 <br /> <br />O:\OFF\ 123\DECIDE\WATERSl .DOC <br /> <br />A 00l0MES& MOOIlEGkllJl"CI:JNINfj <br /> <br />8 <br />
