City of Trinidad’s request for funding to update their Local Coastal Program. The update will include a Coastal Erosion Hazard Management Plan and a Water Supply Assessment. The city wants to “ know more about the watershed’s capacity and potential build-out demand within the City’s Service Area to avoid substantial cumulative effects on the City's water supply and adequately plan for the uncertainties of climate change to protect the watershed.”
Coastal Commission staff report regarding a request to amend Trinidad’s Land Use Plan to allow a water line extension to the CalFire station on Stage Coach Drive. This is one of the observations made in that request regarding water supply from Luffenholtz Creek:
“The relationship between the number of new services that can be connected and the capacity of the system is complex and can only be evaluated relative to specific hookup requests. Any proposals for significant increase in water usage should be viewed with caution.”
