I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an X attached sheets have been added to the project. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project May have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one effect (1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and (2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect'is a "Potentially Significant Impact" or is "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects (1) have been analyzed in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards and (2) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. 4- 9 February 25, 1997 ature Date Ronald Whisenand, Development Review Manager Arnold Jonas, Community Development Dir. Printed Name For EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the analysis in each section. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g. the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g. the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis). 2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3. "Potentially Significant Impact' is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination-- is made, an EIR is required. 4. "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section 17, "Earlier Analysis," may be cross-referenced). 5. Earlier analysis may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c) (3) (D). Earlier analyses are discussed in Section 17 at the end of the checklist. 6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g. general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 3 �—l0 Issues and Supporting Information Sources Sources Potentially potentially Less Than No Waterline Replacement Project Significant significant significant Impact issues Unless Impact ER 2IZI mitigation Incorpomied ... . .. 1 .LAND USE AND PLANNING : :€Vl/ould3he ro osalr°`` ........:.:.: al.

On the Cal Poly campus the project will occur in accordance with the provisions of a right-of-way contract. The pipeline alignment was altered to follow a dirt road on the perimeter of the Cal Poly Dairy and Poultry Units in order to avoid crossing through agricultural fields. Beyond the campus in the County, the project will be subject to an encroachment permit in so far as work must be done in the Stenner Canyon Road right-of-way.'The project must also get a stream bed alteration agreement from the Department of Fish and Game, a nationwide permit from the Army Corps of Engineers, and a 404 water quality certification from the Regional Water Quality Control Board. See attached list of responsible agencies and required approvals. Compliance with the provisions in each of these permits should ensure that the project will not conflict with environmental policies of affected agencies. Any disruption to agricultural operations on the Cal Poly campus or to the neighborhood along the affected stretch of California Boulevard will be temporary in nature and confined to an area typically not more than 15 to 20 feet wide.

Excavation will encounter surface and subsurface water, fill soils, hard rock, and landslides. It concludes that impacts from faults in the vicinity can be mitigated by conventional seismic design methods. The report recommends construction procedures to address the variety of ground conditions the project is likely to encounter. Providing these procedures are followed, significant adverse impacts are not anticipated. CONCLUSION: Potentially significant without mitigation. The construction guidelines recommended in the geotechnical report should be incorporated into the project specifications. 4: WATER Would the �o osal resulf.i.. . a}.

There will be some temporary silting and turbidity during construction. The project involves laying a new pipe line into the creek bed below the scouring level. See attached diagram of the Stenner Creek crossing. It may be desirable to remove the existing pipeline and its concrete encasement, which would otherwise be abandoned in place, to provide a more natural stream bed. Once construction is complete, water quality should quickly return to normal. Construction in the creek bed is subject to approval by the State Dept. of Fish and Game. and the Army Corps of Engineers. In the minor drainage channels, existing riparian vegetation and any cobbles and boulders that must be removed should be stored and replaced as soon as possible, thereby restoring the natural condition of the drainage channels. CONCLUSION: Potentially significant without mitigation. Disturbance to the existing creek and drainage channels should be minimized through construction techniques that maintain existing drainage patterns, a natural creek bottom, and provide for restoration and replanting of disturbed areas to their natural condition to the satisfaction of the Department of Fish and Game, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the City's Natural Resource Manger. 5.

The Air Pollution Control District was contacted by city staff about this project. David Dixon, Manager of APCD Engineering, determined that the project would not require any permitting by this agency. Nonetheless, San Luis Obispo County is a non-attainment area for the State ozone and PM,, (fine particulate matter 10 microns or less in diameter) air quality standards. State law requires that emissions of non-attainment pollutants and their precursors be reduced by at least 5% per year until the standards are attained. There may be temporary localized impacts to air quality as a result of demolition and construction. Fugitive dust emissions should be minimized by incorporating the standard dust control mitigation into the project. _ l n €@ ...............:::..................:...:.:. ............. ...............:..:.:...:..:..::......:.:....:...:..:....:..: .:.Toudahe; ro osa .result : ... :65RANSPORTATIONL1RCULATIONW : A..

The trenching required to install the new water line will disrupt traffic in California Boulevard between Hathway Avenue and the Cal Poly campus; in various parking lots and possibly in Highland Avenue on the campus; and in Stenner Canyon Road. The City has adopted the Caltrans specifications for traffic control. Two-way traffic will be maintained in California Boulevard. In Stenner Canyon Road it may be necessary to close the road down to a single lane with flag directed traffic. On campus some parking will be temporarily unavailable.

Mitigation is recommended to minimize impacts on riparian vegetation and the listed species to the approval of the State Department of Fish and Game and the Army Corps of Engineers. Also see discussion under Section 4 Water. CONCLUSION: Potentially significant without mitigation. Based on information in the application, a field inspection, and a review of relevant references in the Department, staff has determined that there is evidence before the Department that the project could potentially have adverse effects on fish and wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. 6 y- / 3 Issues and Supporting Information Sources Sourca Potentially Potentially i.e Than No Significant Significant Significant Impact Waterline Replacement Project Issues unless impact ER mitigation Incorporated ........ ...... osaj:: .............................. .....:;...........................................

CONCLUSION: Less than significant. There are other utilities in the vicinity of the pipeline corridor, including gas pipelines. Each utility owner was contacted and asked to provide information regarding the horizontal and vertical location of their utilities. These locations will be verified by potholing. Historic an current uses along the corridor do not indicate a likelihood of encountering oil, pesticides or other chemica in the soils to be trenched. Excavation in Serpentine Rock can release asbestos into the air.

MITIGATION MEASURES/MONITORING PROGRAM 1. Mitioation Measure: The construction guidelines recommended in the geotechnical report shall be incorporated into the project specifications. Geologic Monitoring Proaram: Incorporation into the final plans and specifications for the project. 2. Mitigation Measure: Disturbance to the existing creek and drainage channels should be minimized through construction techniques that maintain existing drainage Water patterns, a natural creek bottom, and provide for restoration and replanting of disturbed areas to their natural condition as closely as possible to the satisfaction of the Department of Fish and Game, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the City's Natural Resource Manger. Monitoring Program: This requirement together with any pemit conditions of approval required by the State Department of Fish and Game and the Army Corps of Engineers shall be noted in the final plans and specifications for the project. 10 ys �� 3. Mitioation Measures: Consistent with grading standards in the Uniform Building Code appen (Chapter 70, Section 7004 b), all graded surfaces shall be wett Air Quality protected or contained in such a manner as to prevent dust or spill upo any adjoining property or street. The following measures shall constitute the project's dust management plan and shall remain in effect during all phases of the project's construction: a. Regular wetting of roads and graded areas (at least twice daily with complete coverage of all active areas); b. Increasing frequency of watering whenever winds exceed 15.mph; c. Cessation of grading activities during periods of winds over 25 mph; d. Direct application of water on material being excavated and/or transported onsite or off site; e. Watering material stockpiles; f. Wheel washers shall be installed where vehicles enter and exit unpaved surfaces onto the surrounding streets; and g. Daily wash downs, or mechanical street sweeping of paved surfaces in the vicinity of the construction site. h. Use of non-potable water is required in all construction and dust control work. Monitoring Program: All PM,o mitigation measures required shall noted in the final plans and specifications for the project. The contractor shall designate a person or persons to monitor the dust control program and shall provide the contact name(s) and telephone number(s) to Bridget Fraser, the City's project manager. 4. Mitigation Measures: Construction in Stenner Creek shall occur between mid-June and the fii of November to avoid impacting steelhead movement. Biological A qualified biologist shall scout riparian areas prior to and during construction for wildlife that may be harmed in the course of construction, with specific focus on listed species, consistent with any biological opinion issued by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service for this project. The contractor shall provide the City with adequate notice of scheduled work in riparian areas to enable time for biological surveys and monitoring. The Stenner Creek stream bed shall remain natural at the flow line. It shall not be lined with concrete and the channel shall not be blocked. Any concrete encasement of the pipeline shall be located far enough below the flow line to avoid interfering with the natural flow of the creek. The existing pipeline and encasement in Stenner Creek shall be removed unless otherwise directed by the the Department of Fish and Game and the Army Corps of Engineers. A stream alteration agreement shall be approved by the Department of Fish and Game prior to start of construction. A nationwide permit shall be obtained from the Army Corps of Engineers prior to start of construction. Affected creek banks and drainage channels shall be revegetated as soon_ as possible after construction in these areas using native riparian shrt 11 y-A8 . and ground cover. If any trees are removed or seriously damaged, the project shall include replacement/compensatory planting at a ratio of two to one to the satisfaction of the City Arborist. Monitoring Proaram: These requirements shall be included in the plans and specifications for the project. 5. Mitigation Measure: A qualified archaeologist, knowledgeable about prehistoric resources, shall be on site during all excavation work in the vicinity of known sites to Cultural inspect the site for archaeological resources, as described in the Phase 1 Archaeological Survey prepared for this project by Thor Conway in December 1996. Monitoring Program: This requirement shall be noted in the final plans and specifications for the project.
