SECTI ON 3

This section concerns your opinions about specific components in the Wastewater Project. Foore information, see the TAC Pro/Con Summary on pages 14 and 15 in the Project Status Report.

4 . A lot of decisions have to be made about the Projects components before the Project can bestructed. Some people have strong feelings about where the facility should be located while others are concerned about what collection system should be used. And still others have no opinion or donte about which options decision makers select in the end. Please tell us how concerned you are about

The next few questions concern options for different locations and types oftechnology which have been determined to be viable for the Wastewater Project

. Three different locations for the treatment facility have been considered. Which location do you prefer?ase indicate your first and second choices. Please refer to map on page 11 of Project Status Report.

No opinion D

. Two different collection systems are being considered: a "hybrid' gravity system anda STEP/STEG systee Project team has found both options to be technically viablefor Los Osos. A Project peer review by the Natiater Research Institute also found that the two systems are "functionally equivalent.' H owever,the Draft EIRhatermined that a gravity system has slightly less environmental impacts than STEP/STEG. A gravity system wilo be less disruptive to individual properties and have less initialout of pocket costs for property owners, becau

does not requirethe installation of new septic tanks in. front yards, nor upgrading of your electrical panels. AEP/STEG system might result in a lower overall project costfor property o wners and residents but that iscertain, especially co nsidering the time requiredto design a new collection system and that further delays coulpardize grant funding. Which system do you prefer?

. Three different treatment technologies which will meet water quality requirements have been evaluatedDraft EIR. The technologies vary in a number of important ways . W hat would you prefer to see co nstruct like before, write and to indicate you first and second choices.1

A facility that has a lower cost overallfacility that has a smaller footprint

No opinionfacility that is more energy efficient

A facility that minimizes visual impact Dont know

O Another important compone nt of the system is the treatment and disposal of solids, also calleddge. One option is to haul sludge to a location outside of the comm unity where it will be treated ad by a third party as compost or otherwise disposed of. A sec ond option is to produce com post ats Osos facility for use in the comm unity as compost. Com posting at the facility will be more expen hauling it away! Wh ich do you prefer?

O Haulingomposting No opinion Dont know

SECTI ON 4

This section concerns various cost issues not explored elsewhere in survey

. Thinking about the two collection systems described in Question 17, how much savings over aavity System w ould a STE P/STEG System have to provide to make it worthwhile?

A STEP /STEG System wou ld have to save me aleast $10 a m onth to make it worthwhile

I prefer a.GravitySystem, I am not interested ima STEP /STEG system at any cost savings.

A STEP/STEG System would have to save meat least $50 a month to make it worthwhile

A STEP/STE G System would have to save me .at least $30 a mo nth to make it worthwhile
