RESOLUTION R2026-XX
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MANTECA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND THE MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PLAN (STATE CLEARINGHOUSE NUMBER 2026041206) FOR THE CENTRAL TRUNK SEWER PROJECT (CIP NO. 24004), AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE TO TAKE ALL APPROPRIATE ACTIONS NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT THE PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THE RESOLUTION WHEREAS, On March 5, 2024, the City adopted the 2024 Wastewater Master Plan (“WWMP”), and identified the Central Trunk Sewer Project (“Project”), labeled as project Wastewater Collection System Project 06 (“WCS-06”) in the WWMP, as a high priority project due to its location in the collection system, pipeline age, and risk of failure; and WHEREAS, the Project will replace 4,200 feet of existing 36-inch sewer line, with a new deeper 36-inch sewer trunk gravity line and abandon the existing Union Road lift station; and WHEREAS, an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (“IS/MND”) (SCH# 2026041206) dated June 2026 was prepared for the Project attached as Exhibit A, which determined that the project will have less than significant impacts on the environment, provided all mitigation measures are followed as noted in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”), attached as Exhibit ‘B;’ and WHEREAS, the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH# 2026041206) and supporting documents, including Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, are in the custodial of the Development Services Department located at 1215 W. Center Street, Suite 201, in Manteca, pursuant to Section 15074 of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines; and WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to adopt the foregoing Resolution have occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Manteca, upon evidence in the staff report, the Project file, and public testimony now desires to adopt an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH# 2026041206) and its associated MMRP for the Central Trunk Sewer Project based on the following Findings:
The above recitals are true and incorporated herein by reference.
The Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH # 2026041206) was prepared pursuant to Section 15070 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
The IS/MND was published, circulated, and reviewed in accordance with pursuant to Section 15073 of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines.
The City Council reviewed and considered the information contained within the IS/MND prior to acting on the proposed Project, and finds that the IS/MND reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the City.
The IS/MND contains certain additions, clarifications, modifications, or other revisions (as the result of the public review and comments on the IS/MND, and responses to those comments), but such work does not present substantial revisions or significant new information requiring recirculation of the IS/MND.
The IS/MND identified all potentially significant adverse environmental impacts and feasible mitigation measures or standard conditions of approval that would reduce these impacts to a less-than-significant level. All the mitigation measures identified in the IS/MND are adopted and will be implemented as Conditions of Approval for the Project. The City Council finds that, based on the whole record before it, there is no substantial evidence that the Project, as mitigated in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, will have a significant impact on the environment.
The monitoring and reporting of CEQA mitigation measures in connection with the Project will be conducted in accordance with the attached MMRP incorporated into the Conditions of Approval for the Project. Adoption of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program will constitute fulfillment of the CEQA monitoring and/or reporting requirement set forth in Section 21081.6 of CEQA. All proposed mitigation measures are capable of being fully implemented by the Project Applicant.
The City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager or designee to execute all documents, apply for permits, apply for State and Federal grants, solicit project funding support, complete and execute all associated documents, and take all appropriate actions necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.
Approval of this Resolution shall take effect immediately.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Resolution was duly adopted by the City Council of the City of Manteca at a public meeting of said City Council held on the 16th day of June 2026, by the following vote:
