SUBJECT: COMMENTS ON THE DRAFT EIR — JOERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
(PC -3)
The Truckee Sanitary District (TSD) has reviewed the Draft Environmental Impact Report for
the Joerger Ranch (PC -3) Specific Plan and has the following comments:
Section 2.2 — Project Settings, Surrounding Land Uses (page 2.0 -1):
Land uses to the north of the project site along Joerger Drive should be described, including
Riverview Sports Park, Truckee Sanitary District, and the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District
Transportation Center.
Section 2.4 — Project Description Utility Infrastructure, Wastewater (sewer) (page 2.0 -8):
Wastewater collected from adjacent properties to the north and east of the project site is currently
conveyed in a sewer interceptor pipeline that runs in an easement on Tahoe Truckee Airport
District property before crossing Joerger Drive, SR 267, and Parcel 2 of the proposed Project.
Section 3 11 1 Transportation Environmental Setting Study Area Joerger Drive (page 3.11-3)•
Correct sentence to read as follows: Joerger Drive is a two -lane roadway providing access from
Soaring Way to the Riverview Sports Park, the Truckee Sanitary District, the Tahoe - Truckee
Sanitation Agency, the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District Transportation Center, and a
privately —operated quarry.
Section 3.11.1 Transportation Environmental Setting Study Area, Existing Traffic Volume
(page 3.11 -3):
Peak traffic conditions for the Soaring Way /Joerger Drive intersection should consider mid -week
traffic during the school year (not summer) when the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District
Transportation Center (School Buses) are in use. Impacts should consider school bus traffic at
this intersection.
Section 3.11 Mitigation 3.11 -1H (page 3.11 -47Y
Proposed single -lane roundabout at the Soaring/Joerger intersection should be designed to
accommodate large truck- trailer configurations that are commonplace on Joerger Drive coming
from the quarry.
Section 3.12 Utilities, Wastewater, Impact 3.12 -2 (page 3.12 -6
• The report states that a 6" sewer line would be installed in Hope Ct. What is the purpose
of this sewer line? The parcel adjacent to Hope Ct is designated Open Space.
• The report states that all development on the east side of SR 267 would connect to the
21" sewer line in Joerger Drive. It should state that it will connect to either the existing
8" sewer main along Soaring Way or to the existing 21" sewer interceptor that crosses
Joerger Drive.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us.

Blake Tresan, P.E.
