Hello Denyelle
Thank you for sending LAFCo the Notice of Preparation for the Canyon Springs
Subdivision EIR. I trust this informal e-mail response will be sufficient; if you would like a more
formal letter, please let me know.
As the NOP correctly notes, LAFCo will be a Responsible Agency for annexation of the
project to the Truckee Donner Public Utility District for treated water service. Although
TDPUD also provides electrical service, it appears the project area is within the service area
of NV Energy (I believe that the NV service area was recently purchased by Liberty Energy).
LAFCo is preparing an update to the sphere of influence of the Truckee Donner PUD.
For this reason, the schedules for (1) project approval (including preparation of the EIR) and
(2) development phasing is of interest. Our consultant has recommended positioning the
project area in the TDPUD Long-term sphere, indicating development (and need for the
TDPUD’s service) is at least five years away. If your information indicates that project
approvals and development will occur sometime in the next five years, please advise.
In addition, LAFCo will use the EIR’s information on various public services and utilities,
including wastewater, fire protection and emergency response, and recreation services. The
Notice of Preparation indicates that Truckee Sanitary District will be providing wastewater
service; as you probably are aware, Tahoe Truckee Sanitation Agency will also be involved as
it operates the treatment plant. Therefore, the service capacity/availability of the TTSA
system should also be considered in the EIR.
If you have any questions or comments, please
SR Jones
