Section 1. General Conditions.
Contractor certifies and agrees that all the terms, conditions and obligations of
the Contract Documents as hereinafter defined, the location of the job site, and the
conditions under which the work is to be performed have been thoroughly reviewed, and
enters into this Contract based upon Contractor's investigation of all such matters and is

Contract represents the entire agreement between the parties. It is further agreed that

Specifications, at Contractor's own expense, all labor and materials necessary, except
such as are mentioned in the Specifications to be furnished by the City, to construct and
complete the Project, in good workmanlike and substantial order. If Contractor fails to
pay for labor or materials when due, City may settle such claims by making demand
upon the surety to this Contract. In the event of the failure or refusal of the surety to
satisfy said claims, City may settle them directly and deduct the amount of payments
from the Contract price and any amounts due to Contractor. In the event City receives
a stop notice from any laborer or material supplier alleging non-payment by Contractor,
City shall be entitled to deduct all of its costs and expenses incurred relating thereto,

Section 5. Time of Commencement and Completion.
Contractor agrees to commence the Project within ten (10) calendar days from
the date set forth in the "Notice to Proceed" sent by City and shall diligently prosecute

Proceed" issued by the City excluding delays caused or authorized by the City as set
forth in Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof.
Section 6. Time is of the Essence.
Time is of the essence of this Contract. As required by the Contract Documents,
Contractor shall prepare and obtain approval of all shop drawings, details and samples,
and do all other things necessary and incidental to the prosecution of Contractor's work
in conformance with an approved construction progress schedule. Contractor shall
coordinate the work covered by this Contract with that of all other Contractors,
subcontractors and of the City, in a manner that will facilitate the efficient completion of
the entire work in accordance with Section 5 herein. City shall have complete control of
the premises on which the work is to be performed and shall have the right to decide the
time or order in which the various portions of the work shall be installed or the priority of
the work of other subcontractors, and, in general, all matters representing the timely and
orderly conduct of the work of Contractor on the premises.
Section 7. Excusable Delays.
Contractor shall be excused for any delay in the prosecution or completion of the
Project caused by acts of God; inclement weather which exceeds the number of
calendar days estimated by the City and set forth in Section 5 hereof; damages caused
CITY Of SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO AGREEMENT
SAN JUAN CREEK WATERLINE CROSSING AT VIA ESTENAGA 8-3
by fire or other casualty for which Contractor is not responsible; any act, neglect or
default of City; failure of City to make timely payments to Contractor; late delivery of
materials required by this Contract to be furnished by City; combined action of the
workers in no way caused by or resulting from default or collusion on the part of
Contractor; a lockout by City; or any other delays unforeseen by Contractor and beyond
Contractor's reasonable control.
City shall extend the time fixed in Section 5 for completion of the Project by the
number of days Contractor has thus been delayed, provided that Contractor presents a
written request to City for such time extension within fifteen (15) days of the
commencement of such delay and City finds that the delay is justified. City's decision
will be conclusive on the parties to this Contract. Failure to file such request within the
time allowed shall be deemed a waiver of the claim by Contractor.
No claims by Contractor for additional compensation or damages for delays will
be allowed unless Contractor satisfies City that such delays were unavoidable and not
the result of any action or inaction of Contractor and that Contractor took all available
measures to mitigate such damages. Extensions of time and extra compensation as a
result of incurring undisclosed utilities will be determined in accordance with Section C-
9(f) of the General Provisions. The City's decision will be conclusive on all parties to
this Contract.
Section 8. Extra Work.
The Contract price includes compensation for all work performed by Contractor,
unless Contractor obtains a written change order signed by a designated representative
of City specifying the exact nature of the extra work and the amount of extra
compensation to be paid all as more particularly set forth in Section 9 hereof.
City shall extend the time fixed in Section 5 for completion of the Project by the

Section 9. Chances in Proiect.
A. City may at any time, without notice to any surety, by written order
designated or indicated to be a change order, make any change in the work within the
general scope of the Contract, including but not limited to changes:
1) in the Specifications (including drawings and designs);
2) in the time, method or manner of performance of the work;
3) in the City-furnished facilities, equipment, materials, services or
site; or
4) directing acceleration in the performance of the work.
B. A change order shall also be any other written order (including direction,
instruction, interpretation or determination) from the City which causes any change,
provided Contractor gives the City written notice stating the date, circumstances and
source of the order and that Contractor regards the order as a change order.
C. Except as provided in this Section 9, no order, statement or conduct of the
City or its representatives shall be treated as a change under this Section 9 or entitle
Contractor to an equitable adjustment.
D. If any change under this Section 9 causes an increase or decrease in
Contractor's actual, direct cost or the time required to perform any part of the work
under this Contract, whether or not changed by any order, the City shall make an
equitable adjustment and modify the Contract in writing. Except for claims based on
defective specifications, no claim for any change under paragraph (B) above shall be
allowed for any costs incurred more than twenty (20) days before the Contractor gives
written notice as required in paragraph (B). In the case of defective specifications for
which the City is responsible, the equitable adjustment shall include any increased
direct cost Contractor reasonably incurred in attempting to comply with those defective
specifications.
CITY OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO AGREEMENT
SAN JUAN CREEK WATERLINE CROSSING AT VIA ESTENAGA B-5
E. If Contractor intends to assert a claim for an equitable adjustment under
this Section 9, it must, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written change order
under paragraph (A) or the furnishing of a written notice under paragraph (B), submit a
written statement to the City setting forth the general nature and monetary extent of
such claim. The City may extend the thirty (30) day period. Contractor may include the
statement of claim in the notice under paragraph (B) of this Section 9.
F. No claim by Contractor for an equitable adjustment shall be allowed if
made after final payment under this Agreement.
G. Contractor hereby agrees to make any and all changes, furnish the
materials and perform the work that City may require without nullifying this Contract.
Contractor shall adhere strictly to the Plans and Specifications, unless a change
therefrom is authorized in writing by the City. Under no condition shall Contractor make
any changes to the Project, either in additions or deductions, without the written order of
the City and the City shall not pay for any extra charges made by Contractor that have
not been agreed upon in advance in writing by the City. Contractor shall submit
immediately to the City written copies of its firm's cost or credit proposal for change in
the work. Disputed work shall be performed as ordered in writing by the City and the
proper cost or credit breakdowns therefore shall be submitted without delay by
Contractor to City.
Section 10. Liquidated Damages for Delay.
The parties agree that if the total work called for under this Contract, in all parts
and requirements, is not completed within the time specified in Section 5 plus the
allowance made for delays or extensions authorized under Sections 7, 8 and 9, the City
will sustain damage, which would be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain.
The parties therefore agree that Contractor will pay to City the sum of One Thousand
Seven Hundred Dollars and No Cents ($1700.00) per day, as liquidated damages, and
CITY OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO AGREEMENT
SAN JUAN CREEK WATERLINE CROSSING AT VIA ESTENAGA B-6
not as a penalty, for each and every calendar day during which completion of the
Project is so delayed.
Contractor agrees to pay such liquidated damages and further agrees that City
may offset the amount of liquidated damages from any monies due or that may become
due Contractor under this Contract.
Section 11. Contract Price and Method of Payment.
City agrees to pay and Contractor agrees to accept as full consideration for the
faithful performance of this Contract, subject to any subsequent additions or deductions
as provided in approved change orders, the sum of Two Hundred Ninety Five Thousand
Two Hundred dollars and no cents ($295,200) as itemized on the attached Exhibit "A."
Within thirty (30) days from the commencement of work, there shall be paid to
the Contractor a sum equal to ninety percent (90%) of the value of the actual work
completed plus a like percentage of the value of material suitably stored at the worksite,
treatment plant or approved storage yards subject to or under the control of the City,
since the commencement of the work as determined by the City. Thereafter, on a
schedule issued by the City at the commencement of the job which shows a minimum of
one payment made to the Contractor per month for each successive month as the work
progresses and the request for payment due dates from the Contractor to meet the
payment schedule, the Contractor shall be paid such sum as will bring the total
payments received since the commencement of the work up to ninety percent (90%) of
the value of the work completed since the commencement of work as determined by the
City, less all previous payments, provided that the Contractor submits the request for
payment prior to the end of the day required to meet the payment schedule. The City
will retain ten percent (10%) of the amount of each such progress estimate and material
cost until the Final Payment.
Payments shall be made on demands drawn in the manner required by law,
accompanied by a certificate signed by the City's Engineer, stating that the work for
CITY OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO AGREEMENT
SAN JUAN CREEK WATERLINE CROSSING AT VIA ESTENAGA B-7
which payment is demanded has been performed in accordance with the terms of the
Contract, and that the amount stated in the certificate is due under the terms of the
Contract. Partial payments on the Contract price shall not be considered as an
acceptance of any part of the work.
Section 12. Substitution of Securities in Lieu of Retention of Funds.
Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22300 et seq., the Contractor will be
entitled to post approved securities with the City or an approved financial institution in
order to have the City release funds retained by the City to insure performance of the
Contract. Contractor shall be required to execute an addendum to this Contract
together with escrow instructions and any other documents in order to effect this
substitution.
Section 13. Completion.
Within ten (10) days after the contract completion date of the Project, Contractor
shall file with the City's Engineer its affidavit stating that all workers and persons
employed, all firms supplying materials, and all subcontractors upon the Project have
been paid in full, and that there are no claims outstanding against the Project for either
labor or material, except those certain items, if any, to be set forth in an affidavit
covering disputed claims, or items in connection with Stop Notices which have been
filed under the provisions of the statutes of the State of California. City may require
affidavits or certificates of payment and/or releases from any subcontractor, laborer or
material supplier.

The following changes, additions, deletions, or modifications shall be made to the Contract
Documents and shall take precedence over the original Contract Documents; all other
provisions in the Contract Documents remain the same.
1. CLARIFICATION QUESTION ASKED THROUGH CORRESPONDENCE
TO CITY, OR DURING PRE-BID MEETING
Question: What is the point of access on the north side of the project for getting
construction equipment and materials on site?
Answer: Access to the site shall be via the dirt stable entrance road located off
of Calle Arroyo, approximately '/a mile east of Via Estenaga. This entrance
road leads to the horse trail,which can be used for ingress/egress only. Access
through the park is prohibited. Staging of equipment or materials in the horse
trail is prohibited.
2. CLARIFICATION QUESTION ASKED THROUGH CORRESPONDENCE
TO CITY OR DURING PRE-BID MEETING
Question: It looks like a lot of wildflowers and other native ground cover will be
stripped during construction. Does this need to be re-planted after construction?
Answer: All wildflowers and other naturally occurring plants outside of the
environmentally sensitive area that are removed during construction do not
need to be replaced. However, any surface improvements, such as grass,
ornamental palm trees or other non-native plants, and hard-scape, such as the
concrete v-ditch (which must be protected in place during construction) located
outside of the environmentally sensitive area that are removed or damaged
during construction must be replaced in kind.

closed during construction?
Answer: Staging of equipment or materials in the pedestrian trail is
prohibited. The pedestrian trial can only be closed during pull back of the
HDPE pipe, and must remain open at all other times during construction. The
pipe and other equipment can be staged in the dirt area between the road and

Attention: Mr.Joe Mankawich

Subject. Summary of Geotechnical Boring to Evaluate Conditions for Estenaga Undercrossing, San
Juan Capistrano, California
Per your request, this memo has been provided to summarize our observations during the geotechnical
boring to evaluate conditions for the proposed Estenaga Undercrossing project, San Juan Capistrano,
California. We preformed the drilling on July 7,2005 to evaluate geotechnical conditions at depth,for a
proposed directional drilling operation to be performed in order to replace a water line that was exposed
during the February 2005 intense rainfall event(See attached Boring Location Map).
Materials found during our investigation were predominately sands and clayey sands and gravels, with
lesser amounts of cobbles. Drilling effort was low until approximately 74 feet of depth, where a cobble
layer was encountered. Groundwater was pervasive below 20 feet of depth, with flow rates into the
boring estimated to be upwards of 60 gallons per minute.
Stability of the borehole was low and was prone to collapse/caving, estimated to be due to the
combination of sand and groundwater. Casing was used to full depth during drilling and when extracted,
the borehole collapsed/caved. This possibility should be taken into consideration by the directional
drilling contractor prior to waterline installation.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Dave Adams, City Manager
FROM: John W. Elwell, Interim Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Consideration of Change Order No. 1 and Notice of Completion for the
San Juan Creek Waterline Crossing at Via Estenaga (CIP# 752) (FEMA
DR-1577) (S. Parker Engineering, Inc.)
RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, approve Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $62,882.55; and, adopt a
resolution approving a Notice of Completion for the San Juan Creek Waterline Crossing
at Via Estenaga (CIP #752) and Directing the City Clerk to Process Recording of the
Notice.
SITUATION:
On June 20, 2006, City Council awarded the construction contract for the San Juan
Creek Waterline Crossing at Via Estenaga to S. Parker Engineering Inc. in the amount
of $295,200. After some delay due to shortages of availability of the 14 inch HDPE pipe,
layout survey for the project commenced on August 11, 2006. Because the survey
required some clearing of brush within the streambed, the City's Water Quality Engineer
requested that the contractor receive approval from the California Department of Fish
and Game prior to proceeding further. On September 11, 2006, the City received
approval from the Department of Fish and Game to proceed with the project.
Parker Engineering re-mobilized, completed the survey, erected construction fencing
and sound walls. On October 7t", while performing the pullback of the 14" HDPE pipe,
the contractor experienced an obstruction which prevented completion of directional-
drilled line installation. The obstruction occurred approximately 50 feet from the planned
end point, within the levee for the San Juan Creek. The only course of action available
to complete the project was to dig down to locate the end of the pipe and to remove the
obstruction.
While fortunate that the pipeline had been pulled past the streambed (excavation within
the streambed would bring additional environmental impacts and issues), the end of the
pipe was located deep, approximately 23 feet below the top of the levee. The depth of
the pipe required that a large excavator and shoring box be brought in. Because the
excavation was to be within the County Flood Control District's (County) levee facility
staff felt it prudent to contact the County and receive their approval prior to beginning
this operation.
AGENDA REPORT • • February 6, 2007
Page 2
On October 22, 2006, the City received approval from the County, and S. Parker
Engineering commenced with the excavation the following day. The obstruction to the
pipe pullback proved to be a large rock which had dropped into the drilled alignment.
Also preventing displacement of the rock was a series of vertical pipes. Evidently these
pipes had been used in the past as piles to secure the levee, as they seemed to
proceed along the length of the levee.
After removal of the obstructions, the contractor was able to complete the pullback of
the pipe utilizing the excavator as the pulling mechanism. At some point in the process,
either while trying to pull against the obstructions or during the final pullback with the
excavator, the seal between the drilling head and the pipe had been torn. This allowed
groundwater and sediment to enter the pipe. Removal and flushing of these materials
from the line proved to be difficult because the sediment lodged in the deepest part of
the line, approximately 40 feet below the surface on either side of the streambed. The
contractor attempted to use a jetting vacuum truck and inflatable ball to push the
sediment from the belly of the pipe. These attempts were unsuccessful. Finally, after
developing special cleaning tools, Parker Engineering was able to successfully clean
the line. The line was videotaped and then chlorinated. The line then passed all the
required tests.
On December 4, 2006, the project was completed. While the performance of work was
not as expected (the original work was estimated to take about one month to complete),
staff was impressed with S. Parker Engineering's ability to deal with the difficult
circumstances that occurred on this project. The contractor could not have foreseen the
encountering of an obstacle that would prevent pullback of the pipeline. This situation
called for imaginative solutions to carry the project through to completion. In addition,
staff also requested the replacement of an old blow off valve and 100 feet of asbestos
cement line that were not shown on the plans. S. Parker Engineering has submitted
backup for additional labor and materials costs in the amount of $62,882.55. Staff has
reviewed the request for additional costs and has found them to be fair compensation
for the work that was beyond the original contract. Staff is requesting approval of
Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $62,822.55 for the San Juan.Creek Waterline
Crossing at Via Estenaga (CIP #752).
The San Juan Creek Waterline Crossing at Via Estenaga was put into operation on
December 11, 2006, and has been performing as designed. Staff requests that the City
Council adopt a Resolution approving the issuance of a Notice of Completion on this
project.
COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Water Advisory Commission, at their January 23, 2007 meeting, recommended
approval of Change Order No. 1 and adoption of a Notice of Completion for the San
Juan Creek Waterline Crossing at Via Estenaga (CIP 752).

Contract Change Order No. 1
December 20, 2006
CONTRACTOR: S. Parker Engineering, Inc.
This Change Order covers changes to the subject contract as described
herein. The Contractor shall perform all work as necessary or required to
complete the Change Order items for the prices agreed upon between the
Contractor and the City.
The additional work contained within this Change Order can be performed
incidental to the prime work and within the time allotted for the original
Contract and any extensions to the Contract Time made by this and all
previously issued Change Orders, if any. It is therefore mutually agreed
that the number of calendar days extension of time, if any, provided for in
this Change Order is required for the change of work provided herein, and
that no direct or indirect, incidental or consequential costs, expenses,
losses or damages have been or will be incurred by Contractor, except as
expressly granted and approved by this Change Order and, further, that the
payment under this Change Order is the final and complete compensation
for the subject work. In accordance with the contract provisions, the
following changes in the contract and/or contract work are hereby
authorized and as compensation, the following additional to or deductions
from the contract price are hereby approved.
1) S. Parker Engineering began mobilization of equipment after receipt of
Notice to Proceed. After mobilization of fencing and portable toilets, the
City's Environmental Administrator requested that an Army Corps of
Engineers Streambed Alteration Permit be in place prior to commencing
work. Work was delayed while the City waited for the permit to be
processed. Four weeks of S. Parker Engineering equipment on the
project, portable restrooms and temporary fencing. Total cost: $1,025.81
2) A stop work order was issued to the contractor due to encountering a rock
or other obstacle which did not permit directional drilling to continue. A
delay from October 7w thru October 231d was required to obtain a permit to
dig up the Orange County Flood Control District's levee, since such work
posed a potential hazard to public safety. No permit was initially required
ATTACHMENT t
because the work outlined in the contract documents occurred outside the
flood control easement and had no impact to OCFCD facilities. It is not
reasonable to assume that the contractor could have known that he would
encounter an obstacle that would prevent him from continuing with pull-
back of the pipe. This request is for additional compensation for
equipment rental, which remained idle during this delay. Total cost:
$4,823.61
3) In order to excavate and recover the pipe, additional fencing was required
to surround the pit, the pit would require shoring, and rental of an
excavator was required to reach the depth of 28 feet. Total cost:
$8,122.99
4) Excavation revealed a large rock and a series of steel piles to be the
reason why the pipe could not be pulled through. The obstructions were
removed, a chain was attached to the drill rod, and the excavator was
able to complete the remainder of the pull. Chlorination was attempted
and failed, so a CCTV inspection was performed that revealed the pipe to
be 1/3 full of sand, therefore a jet vacuum truck was employed to clean
the line. Total cost: $5,028.37
5) The jetting, vacuuming and pulling of an inflatable ball would not move the
material from the pipe and therefore the contractor called California
Boring, Inc. for assistance, cleaning tools were invented and used to
successfully clean the line. Total cost: $9,250.53
6) Once the pipe was cleaned, the contractor passed the required pressure
testing and disinfection, completed the connections, backfilled the
excavation, and completed the project, which took an extra 4 weeks of
work. Additional costs for labor and equipment rental. Total Cost:
$30,663.74
7) The existing pipe to be connected to was found to be asbestos cement
pipe, rather than cast iron as depicted on the plans. Approximately 100
feet of this pipe had to be removed in order that the tie in be could made
to a secure fitting. Asbestos cement pipe had to be properly handled and
disposed of. Total Cost: $3,967.50

AGENDA REPORT D10
TO: Dave Adams, City Manager
FROM: Eric Bauman, Water Engineering Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of Award of Construction Contract for the San Juan Creek
Waterline Crossing at Via Estenaga (CIP# 752) (FEMA DR-1577)
(S. Parker Engineering, Inc.)
RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, approve award of the construction contract for the San Juan Creek Waterline
Crossing at Via Estenaga (CIP #752) to S. Parker Engineering, Inc. in the amount of
$295,200.
SITUATION:
At their March 21, 2006, meeting, City Council approved the design and environmental
documents for the San Juan Creek Waterline Crossing at Via Estenaga. Staff released
the plans and specifications for bid on April 3, 2006, and on May 16, 2006, received six
bids (Attachment 1). Staff had requested alternate bids for 14-inch and 10-inch lines to
determine the cost between replacement with the current sized waterline or upsizing to
meet future needs. Staff is recommending installation of Alternate A, the 14-inch option,
as the $22,800 cost difference is small compared to the future costs of installing
additional waterline crossings to meet development needs in the eastern portion of the
City. These costs will aide in determining FEMA reimbursement on the project. As
FEMA can only reimburse costs for replacement, the $22,800 upgrade cost would,
therefore, be the City's responsibility.
The low bidder S. Parker Engineering, Inc. has been contacted and is prepared to
proceed with the project upon City Council approval. The license and references for S.
Parker Engineering have been checked by staff and have been found to be in good
standing. Staff, therefore, recommends award of the San Juan Creek Waterline
Crossing at Via Estenaga to S. Parker Engineering, Inc. in the amount of$295,200.
COMMISSION REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Water Advisory Commission, at their May 23, 2006, meeting, recommended award
of the San Juan Creek Waterline Crossing at Via Estenaga to S. Parker Engineering,
Inc.

CITY OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO. AGREEMENT
SAN JUAN CREEK WATERLINE CROSSING AT VIA ESTENAGA B-2
Said Plans and Specifications and any revisions, amendments or addenda
thereto are attached hereto and incorporated herein as part of this Contract and referred
to by reference.
Section 5. Time of Commencement and Completion.
Contractor agrees to commence the Project within ten (10) calendar days from
the date set forth in the "Notice to Proceed" sent by City and shall diligently prosecute
the work to completion within Sixty (60) work days from the date of the "Notice to
Proceed" issued by the City excluding delays caused or authorized by the City as set
forth in Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof.
Section 6. Time is of the Essence.
Time is of the essence of this Contract. As required by the Contract Documents,
Contractor shall prepare and obtain approval of all shop drawings, details and samples,
and do all other things necessary and incidental to the prosecution of Contractor's work
in conformance with an approved construction progress schedule. Contractor shall
coordinate the work covered by this Contract with that of all other Contractors,
subcontractors and of the City, in a manner that will facilitate the efficient completion of
the entire work in accordance with Section 5 herein. City shall have complete control of
the premises on which the work is to be performed and shall have the right to decide the
time or order in which the various portions of the work shall be installed or the priority of
the work of other subcontractors, and, in general, all matters representing the timely and
orderly conduct of the work of Contractor on the premises.
Section 7. Excusable Delays.
Contractor shall be excused for any delay in the prosecution or completion of the
Project caused by acts of God; inclement weather which exceeds the number of
calendar days estimated by the City and set forth in Section 5 hereof; damages caused
CITY OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO AGREEMENT
SAN JUAN CREEK WATERLINE CROSSING AT VIA ESTENAGA B-3
by fire or other casualty for which Contractor is not responsible; any act, neglect or
default of City; failure of City to make timely payments to Contractor; late delivery of
materials required by this Contract to be furnished by City; combined action of the
workers in no way caused by or resulting from default or collusion on the part of
Contractor; a lockout by City; or any other delays unforeseen by Contractor and beyond
Contractor's reasonable control.
City shall extend the time fixed in Section 5 for completion of the Project by the
number of days Contractor has thus been delayed, provided that Contractor presents a
written request to City for such time extension within fifteen (15) days of the
commencement of such delay and City finds that the delay is justified. City's decision
will be conclusive on the parties to this Contract. Failure to file such request within the
time allowed shall be deemed a waiver of the claim by Contractor.
No claims by Contractor for additional compensation or damages for delays will
be allowed unless Contractor satisfies City that such delays were unavoidable and not
the result of any action or inaction of Contractor and that Contractor took all available
measures to mitigate such damages. Extensions of time and extra compensation as a
result of incurring undisclosed utilities will be determined in accordance with Section C-
9(f) of the General Provisions. The City's decision will be conclusive on all parties to
this Contract.
Section 8. Extra Work.
The Contract price includes compensation for all work performed by Contractor,
unless Contractor obtains a written change order signed by a designated representative
of City specifying the exact nature of the extra work and the amount of extra
compensation to be paid all as more particularly set forth in Section 9 hereof.
City shall extend the time fixed in Section 5 for completion of the Project by the
number of days reasonably required for Contractor to perform the extra work, as
determined by City's Engineer. The decision of the Engineer shall be final.
CITY OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO AGREEMENT
SAN JUAN CREEK WATERLINE CROSSING AT VIA ESTENAGA B-4
Section 9. Changes in Project.
A. City may at any time, without notice to any surety, by written order
designated or indicated to be a change order, make any change in the work within the
general scope of the Contract, including but not limited to changes:
1) in the Specifications (including drawings and designs);
2) in the time, method or manner of performance of the work;
3) in the City-furnished facilities, equipment, materials, services or
site; or
4) directing acceleration in the performance of the work.
B. A change order shall also be any other written order (including direction,
instruction, interpretation or determination) from the City which causes any change,
provided Contractor gives the City written notice stating the date, circumstances and
source of the order and that Contractor regards the order as a change order.
C. Except as provided in this Section 9, no order, statement or conduct of the
City or its representatives shall be treated as a change under this Section 9 or entitle
Contractor to an equitable adjustment.
D. If any change under this Section 9 causes an increase or decrease in
Contractor's actual, direct cost or the time required to perform any part of the work
under this Contract, whether or not changed by any order, the City shall make an
equitable adjustment and modify the Contract in writing. Except for claims based on
defective specifications, no claim for any change under paragraph (B) above shall be
allowed for any costs incurred more than twenty (20) days before the Contractor gives
written notice as required in paragraph (B). In the case of defective specifications for
which the City is responsible, the equitable adjustment shall include any increased
direct cost Contractor reasonably incurred in attempting to comply with those defective
specifications.
CITY OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO AGREEMENT
SAN JUAN CREEK WATERLINE CROSSING AT VIA ESTENAGA B-5
E. If Contractor intends to assert a claim for an equitable adjustment under
this Section 9, it must, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written change order
under paragraph (A) or the furnishing of a written notice under paragraph (B), submit a
written statement to the City setting forth the general nature and monetary extent of
such claim. The City may extend the thirty (30) day period. Contractor may include the
statement of claim in the notice under paragraph (B) of this Section 9.
F. No claim by Contractor for an equitable adjustment shall be allowed if
made after final payment under this Agreement.
G. Contractor hereby agrees to make any and all changes, furnish the
materials and perform the work that City may require without nullifying this Contract.
Contractor shall adhere strictly to the Plans and Specifications, unless a change
therefrom is authorized in writing by the City. Under no condition shall Contractor make
any changes to the Project, either in additions or deductions, without the written order of
the City and the City shall not pay for any extra charges made by Contractor that have
not been agreed upon in advance in writing by the City. Contractor shall submit
immediately to the City written copies of its firm's cost or credit proposal for change in
the work. Disputed work shall be performed as ordered in writing by the City and the
proper cost or credit breakdowns therefore shall be submitted without delay by
Contractor to City.
Section 10. Liquidated Damages for Delay.
The parties agree that if the total work called for under this Contract, in all parts
and requirements, is not completed within the time specified in Section 5 plus the
allowance made for delays or extensions authorized under Sections 7, 8 and 9, the City
will sustain damage, which would be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain.
The parties therefore agree that Contractor will pay to City the sum of One Thousand
Seven Hundred Dollars and No Cents ($1700.00) per day, as liquidated damages, and
CITY OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO AGREEMENT
SAN JUAN CREEK WATERLINE CROSSING AT VIA ESTENAGA - B-6
not as a penalty, for each and every calendar day during which completion of the
Project is so delayed.
Contractor agrees to pay such liquidated damages and further agrees that City
may offset the amount of liquidated damages from any monies due or that may become
due Contractor under this Contract.
Section 11. Contract Price and Method of Payment.
City agrees to pay and Contractor agrees to accept as full consideration for the
faithful performance of this Contract, subject to any subsequent additions or deductions
as provided in approved change orders, the sum of Two Hundred Ninety Five Thousand
Two Hundred dollars and no cents ($295,200) as itemized on the attached Exhibit "A."
Within thirty (30) days from the commencement of work, there shall be paid to
the Contractor a sum equal to ninety percent (90%) of the value of the actual work
completed plus a like percentage of the value of material suitably stored at the worksite,
treatment plant or approved storage yards subject to or under the control of the City,
since the commencement of the work as determined by the City. Thereafter, on a
schedule issued by the City at the commencement of the job which shows a minimum of
one payment made to the Contractor per month for each successive month as the work
progresses and the request for payment due dates from the Contractor to meet the
payment schedule, the Contractor shall be paid such sum as will bring the total
payments received since the commencement of the work up to ninety percent (90%) of
the value of the work completed since the commencement of work as determined by the
City, less all previous payments, provided that the Contractor submits the request for
payment prior to the end of the day required to meet the payment schedule. The City
will retain ten percent (10%) of the amount of each such progress estimate and material
cost until the Final Payment.
Payments shall be made on demands drawn in the manner required by law,
accompanied by a certificate signed by the City's Engineer, stating that the work for
CITY OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO AGREEMENT
SAN JUAN CREEK WATERLINE CROSSING AT VIA ESTENAGA B-7
• i
which payment is demanded has been performed in accordance with the terms of the
Contract, and that the amount stated in the certificate is due under the terms of the
Contract. Partial payments on the Contract price shall not be considered as an
acceptance of any part of the work.
Section 12. Substitution of Securities in Lieu of Retention of Funds.
Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22300 et seq., the Contractor will be
entitled to post approved securities with the City or an approved financial institution in
order to have the City release funds retained by the City to insure performance of the
Contract. Contractor shall be required to execute an addendum to this Contract
together with escrow instructions and any other documents in order to effect this
substitution.
Section 13. Completion.
Within ten (10) days after the contract completion date of the Project, Contractor
shall file with the City's Engineer its affidavit stating that all workers and persons
employed, all firms supplying materials, and all subcontractors upon the Project have
been paid in full, and that there are no claims outstanding against the Project for either
labor or material, except those certain items, if any, to be set forth in an affidavit
covering disputed claims, or items in connection with Stop Notices which have been
filed under the provisions of the statutes of the State of California. City may require
affidavits or certificates of payment and/or releases from any subcontractor, laborer or
material supplier.
Section 14. Contractor's Employees' Compensation.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that on the 21st of March, 2006 at 7:00 P.M. in the City Council
Chamber, 32400 Paseo Adelanto, San Juan Capistrano, California, the City Council will hold a
public hearing on the following:
SAN JUAN CREEK WATERLINE CROSSING AT VIA ESTENAGA (CIP # 767)
The City of San Juan Capistrano, as applicant, requests adoption of a Mitigated Negative
Declaration and approval of Plans and Specifications for the San Juan Creek Waterline
Crossing at Via Estenaga. During the heavy rainfall of January 2005, the waterline was
compromised and now lies exposed in the creek. In order to ensure safe operation and
maintenance of this line the City must replace approximately 600 feet of this waterline, and
reconnect to their system on both sides of the creek. Due to the environmental sensitivity of the
San Juan Creek river bed and the City's desire to avoid adverse environmental impacts, the City
has determined that directional drilling will be used to construct the replacement line. Using
specialized equipment set up outside the creek bed area, the waterline will be installed by
drilling under the creek at a depth of 27 feet. The drill head will be guided by a Global
Positioning System to insure proper alignment of the pipeline. The ends will then be connected
using conventional construction techniques. The project will run under San Juan Creek from
Cook Cordova Park to San Juan Creek Road.
Those desiring to be heard in favor of, or opposition to, this item will be given an opportunity to
do so during such hearing. Written information pertaining to this item must be submitted to the
City Clerk by 5:00 p.m., on Monday, March 20, 2006 at 32400 Paseo Adelanto, San Juan

AGENDA REPORT G 1 b
TO: Dave Adams, City Manager Qk /
FROM: Amy Amirani, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Plans
and Specifications for San Juan Creek Waterline Crossing, at Via
Estenaga (CIP#767) (FEMA DR-1577)
RECOMMENDATION:
Open the public hearing, receive testimony, and close the public hearing; and, by
motion:
1. Adopt a resolution approving the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the San Juan
Creek Waterline Crossing at Via Estenaga; and,
2. Approve the Plans and Specifications for the San Juan Creek Waterline Crossing
Project at Via Estenaga, and direct the City Clerk to advertise the project for
competitive bids; and,
3. Appropriate $315,000 from the Water Replacement Fund to the Undefined Water
Replacement Project (CIP #767).
SITUATION:
In January 2005, extreme weather conditions brought about severe erosion to the San
Juan Creek streambed. The San Juan Creek Waterline Crossing at Via Estenaga was
exposed but remains intact, although loss of this line is eminent.
At their August 16, 2006, meeting, City Council approved award of the design and
environmental review contract for the San Juan Creek Waterline Crossing at Via
Estenaga to RBF Consultants, Inc. RBF Consultants have completed the Initial
Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the project and have posted,
received public comment, and responded to comments in regards to these
environmental documents. Staff is recommending City Council adopt the IS/MND.
RBF Consultants have also completed the plans and specifications for the project. Due
to the environmental sensitivity of the San Juan Creek riverbed and the City's desire to
avoid adverse environmental impacts, the design utilizes directional drilling to construct
AGENDA REPORT • • March 21, 2006

the replacement waterline. Specialized drilling equipment will be setup outside of the
creek bed area, and the waterline will be installed by drilling underneath the creek. The
drill head is guided by a Global Positioning System to insure that the waterline is
installed in the desired horizontal and vertical alignment. The ends will then be
connected to existing waterline facilities by conventional methods. The old line will be
abandoned, with the exposed portions being removed by hand method to minimize
disturbance in the creek area.
Staff is recommending City Council approve of the plans and specifications for the San
Juan Waterline Creek Waterline Crossing at Via Estenaga.
COMMISSION REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Water Advisory Commission, at their February 28, 2006, meeting, recommended
adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and approval of the Plans and
Specifications for the San Juan Creek Waterline Crossing at Via Estenaga.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The preliminary cost estimate for the San Juan Creek Waterline Crossing at Via
Estenaga, including design, CEQA, construction and construction management costs is
$750,000. This work was unanticipated and is not included in the FY 2005/2006 Budget.
However, staff has been working with FEMA and has received an obligation letter for
$336,423 towards the cost of the line replacement. This amount was based upon an
early FEMA estimate and could be increased based upon the final costs of the project.
Staff recommends that the current unfunded balance of $415,000 be appropriated from
the following sources; $100,000 from the unspent balance of the Undefined Water
Replacement Project (CIP # 767) and $315,000 from the Water Replacement Fund.
Staff will seek additional FEMA reimbursement based upon the final costs for the
project.
NOTIFICATION:
A public hearing notice was published and posted by the City Clerk's Office pursuant to
the public notice requirements of Administrative Policy 409. No individually addressed
public hearing notices were mailed because no residences are located within 500 feet of
the proposed work area.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council hereby makes the
following findings based on substantial evidence in the record with respect to compliance
with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act:
Page 1 of 6 03-21-2006
Section 1.
Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines §15074, the Initial
Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) considers all potentially significant
environmental effects of the proposed project and is complete and fully complies with all
requirements of CEQA and the Guidelines; and,
Section 2.
The project could result in potentially significant air quality impacts as a result of
construction-related emissions. However,the following proposed mitigation measures will
reduce such impacts to a level of insignificance:
AIR 1. During clearing, grading, earth moving, or excavation operations, excessive
fugitive dust emissions shall be controlled by regular watering or other dust
preventive measures using the following procedures, as specified in the South
Coast Air Quality Management Districts Rule 403:
❖ Re-vegetate disturbed areas as quickly as possible.
❖ All excavating orgrading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds
(as'spontaneous gusts) exceed 25 mph;
❖ All streets shall be swept once per day if visible soil materials are carried to
adjacent streets(recommend water sweepers with reclaimed water);
Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto '
paved streets, or wash trucks and any equipment leaving the site each trip;
❖ All on-site roads shall be paved as soon as feasible, watered periodicall, or
chemically stabilized, and
❖ The area disturbed by cleaning, grading, earthmoving, or excavation
operations shall be minimized at all times.
AIR 2. The Construction Contractor shall select construction equipment based upon low
emission factors and high energy efficiency. The Construction Contractor shall
ensure that construction grading plans include a statement that all construction
equipment will be tuned and maintained in accordance with the manufacturers
specifications. Compliance with these measures will be subject to periodic
inspections of the construction equipment by the City.
AIR 3. All haul trucks for excavated or graded material on-site shall comply with State
Vehicle Code Section 23114, with special attention to Sections 23114(b)(F),
(e)(2), and(e)(4) as amended, regarding the prevention of such material spilling
onto public street and roads.
Page 2 of 6 03-21-2006
Section 3.
The project could result in potentially significant biological resources impacts as a result of
construction-related activities. However, the following proposed mitigation measures will
reduce such impacts to a level of insignificance:
BIO 1. To avoid potential trampling of arroyo toad, removal of the exposed portions of
the existing pipeline within San Juan Creek shall occur outside of the breeding
season (March15 through July1). If pipeline removal cannot be conducted
outside of the breeding season, then the City will arrange for protocol presence
absence surveys for the arroyo toad to be conducted within the project area by a
qualified biologist, a maximum of two weeks prior to any work within the San
Juan Creek Channel. If arroyo toad is determined to be present within the stud
area, pipeline removal activities shall be postponed to occur outside the
breeding season or, the City may direct their biologist to contact the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service to determine the appropriate action to allow
removal to proceed and avoid take of the species.
BIO 2. Prior to construction, the CDFG shall be notified of the proposed activities and a
1602 Streambed Alteration Notification Package shall be submitted to the
Department of Fish and Game. F required, a Streambed Alteration Agreement
shall be obtained prior to initiation of project activities.
Section 4.
The project could result in potentially significant cultural resources impacts as a result of
construction-related activities. However, the following proposed mitigation measures will
reduce such impacts to a level of insignificance:
CR 1. Archeological Monitor. A qualified archeologist (defined as an archeologist on
the List of Certified Archeologists for Orange County) shall be retained by the
City of San Juan Capistrano and shall be present at the pre-construction
meeting to advise construction contractors about the sensitive nature of the
cultural resources located on and/or in the vicinity of the project site, as well as
monitoring requirements. A qualified monitor, supervised by the qualified
archeologist, shall observe on and offsite construction activities that result in
grading, and/or excavating below the original ground surface. Should no-human
cultural resources be discovered, the monitor power to temporarily halt or divert
the construction activities until the qualified archeologist can determine if the
resources are significant and, if significant, until recovered by the archeologist.
In the event that human remains are discovered, construction activities shall be
halted or diverted until the provisions of SS7050.5 of the Health and Safety
Code and SS 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code have been implemented.
Section 5.
The project could result in potentially significant water quality impacts related to the existing
pipeline removal work. However, the following proposed mitigation measure will reduce
such impacts to a level of insignificance:
Page 3 of 6 03-21-2006
❖ WQ 1. Prior to commencement of the removal activities, a waste Discharge
Requirement (WDR) or waiver thereof, may be required from the San Diego
RWQCB for the discharge of potable water to San Juan Creek. IF WDR's ae
prescribed the City of San Juan Capistrano shall incorporate mitigation
measures identified in the WDR to reduce potential significant impacts to the
water quality and public nuisance that are due to the treatment or discharge of
waste.
Section 6.
The project could result in potentially significant noise impacts related to the directional
drilling work, and from construction-related traffic. However, the following proposed
mitigation measures will reduce such impacts to a level of insignificance:
N.1 Noise sources associated with construction, repairs, remodeling, or the grading
of any real property, shall be exempt from the provisions of the City's noise code
if conducted from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, orfrom 8:30
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday. Construction is prohibited at anytime on Sunday
ora Federal holiday.
N.2 Equipment will use available noise suppression devices and properly maintained
mufflers. Construction noise will be reduced by using quiet or`new technology,
equipment, particularly the quieting of exhaust noises by use of improved
mufflers where feasible. All internal combustion engines used at the Project site
will be equipped with the type of muffler recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer. In addition, all equipment will be maintained in good mechanical
condition so as to minimize noise created by faulty orpoorly maintained engine,
drive-train and other components.
N.3 During all site preparation, grading and construction, contractors shall minimize
the staging of construction equipment and unnecessary idling of equipment in
the vicinity of residential land uses.
N.4 The equipment staging area will be situated so as to provide the greatest
distance separation between construction-related noise sources and noise-
sensitive receptors nearest the Project site during all Project construction.
N.5 Notification will be given to residences within 91 meters (300 feet) of planned
construction activities thirty (30) days prior to commencement of demolition
activity, and will include a brief description of the project, the overall duration of
the various construction stages, noise abatement measures that will taken, and
the name and phone number of the construction site supervisor or his designee
to report any violation of a noise or mitigation standard.
Section 7.
The project could result in potentially significant temporary transportation impacts related to
construction activity at the project site. After construction of the project, all transportation
Page 4 of 6 03-21-2006
impacts would cease. The following proposed mitigation measures will reduce such
impacts to a level of insignificance:
TRF 1. A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) shall be prepared to address short-term
mitigation forroadways and shall be subject to City approval prior to demolition
or construction of any facilities. This plan shall consist ofprior notices, adequate
sign-postings, detours, phased construction and temporary driveways where
necessary. The Plan shall specify implementation timing of each plan element
(prior notices, sign-postings, detours, etc.) as determined appropriate by the
Water District Engineer. Adequate access to and from residential areas shall be
provided at all times. Proper detours and warning signs shall be established to
ensure public safety. The TMP shall be devised so that construction activities
shall not interfere with any emergency response of evacuation plans.
Construction activities shall proceed in a timely manner in an effort to reduce
impacts.
Section 8.
The proposed project could result in potentially significant Utilities & Service Systems
impacts during construction related activity at the project site. However, all proposed
mitigation measures previously incorporated herein will reduce such impacts to a level of
insignificance.
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,that the City Council of the City
of San Juan Capistrano does hereby make the following findings with respect to General
Plan consistency:
Section 1.
The proposed project is consistent with the policies and objectives of the General Plan,
specifically, the Public Services & Utilities Element because the proposed waterline
replacement will ensure that the City maintains the ability to provide the required high-
quality and dependable water service to the community, and the ability to provide more
than adequate fire flow capacity.
Section 2.
The proposed project is consistent with the City Council adopted Domestic Water Master
Plan (DWMP) which identifies the replacement of the existing waterline (Project E-22) to
provide necessary higher levels of water service to existing and proposed developments
located in the surrounding area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,that the City Council of the City
of San Juan Capistrano does hereby recommend adoption of a Mitigated Negative
Declaration subject to the mitigation measures contained herein; further recommends
approval of the project construction plans and specifications for the proposed project.

Subject: San Juan Creek Waterline Crossing Replacement —
Dear Mr. Mankawich,
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the Mitigated Negative Declaration _.
dated December 2005,for the San Juan Creek Waterline Crossing Replacement. The
project site is located at Via Estenaga and San Juan Creek Road. The project consists of
Replacement of 600 feet of compromised 6-Inch ductile iron waterline with a 12-inch high
density polyethylene pipeline utiliang directional drilling techniques. —
Caltra6s District 12 status is a reviewing agency and while the project has no potential to
impact Caltrans feclifties,we have the following general comments.
2A I1. A qualified biological monRor should be present during all work immediately adjacent to `
riparian habitat to ensure that no surface disturbance occurs Mthin the creek and that no
riparian vegetation Is affected. This is important given the potential for arroyo toad within
the project limits.
2B12. Recommend obtaining final Concurrence from the Army Corps of Engineers and CDFG,
with regard to jurisdictional information,before beginning work in the area.
2C 43. The Regional Vicinity map(exhibit 1) incorrectly identifies the freeway south of Dena Point —
as SR-1. This should be identified as 1-5.
Please continue to keep us informed of this project and other future developments, which could
potentially impact our transportation facilities, if you have any questions or need to contact us, please _
do not hesitate to call Maureen El Harake at(949)724-2086.

San Juan Creek Waterline Crossing
Replacement at Via Estenaaa RESPONSE TO COMMENTS
Response No. 2
2a. The proposed construction methods do not have the potential to impact riparian
vegetation. The beginning of the pipeline replacement would occur within the Cook
Cordova Park, beyond the jurisdictional limits of San Juan Creek. The exit hole (end of
construction) would occur within the right of way of San Juan Creek Road, also outside
of the jurisdictional limits of the San Juan Creek. The directional drilling method is
' proposed for this project to ensure that no impacts to San Juan Creek, riparian
vegetation, or wildlife would be impacted.
' Based on comments from the Califomia Department of Fish and Game (Comment 4,
below) it was determined that the existing pipeline will be decommissioned, capped, and
removed by hand crews. The project activities will occur outside of the breeding season
' of the arroyo toad (March 15-July 1) or after a protocol survey for the arroyo toad. No
riparian vegetation will be impacted or removed by the proposed project activities. Due
to the nature of the proposed activities and the timing of the project activities, a biological
monitor would not need to be present during implementation of the proposed project.
r2b. According to the Biological Resources Report prepared for the proposed project, the
proposed activities will not occur within the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) or
California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) jurisdictional limits within San Juan
Creek. The Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was mailed to the ACOE,
CDFG, and Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) for their review and to
provide them an opportunity to comment on the document. CDFG provided comments
(Comment 4, below) indicating that a Streambed Alteration Agreement (SAA) should be
obtained prior to project activities. Based on CDFG's comment, a 1602 SAA will be
submitted to the CDFG prior to construction activities. No comments were received from
the ACOE or RWQCB.
2c. Exhibit 1, REGIONAL VICINITY, has been revised to reflect the correct highway number.

Dear Ms.Amirani: �-
The above referenced item is so Initial Study/Mirigated Negative Declaration(1S/Nm)for the
City of San Juan Capistrano. The City of San Juan Capistrano owns and maintains an eight-inch
ductile iron waterline which crosses the San Juan Creek in the vicinity of Via Estenag: The —
waterline crossing is bordered by Cook Cordova Park on the north side and Sao Joan Creek Road
in the vicinity of Paseo Christina on the south side. The waterline was recently compromised by
heavy rainfall and now lies exposed in the creek The purpose Of the project is to replace the
eight-inch line(apprdximately 600 feet)of this waterline with a' 12-inch line to increase capacity _
and improve service conditions.
The County of Orange has reviewed the IS/MND and offers the following comments: —
FLOOD
3A 1. The 12-inch 600-foot long waterine pipe appears to cross under the Orange County
Flood Control District's(OCFCD)right-of-way for San Juan Creek(LOI), All work

3a. Comment noted. Prior to construction, an Encroachment Permit from the County of
Orange shall be obtained. _
3b. Mitigation Measure TRF1 indicates that a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) will be
prepared and implemented for the proposed project. According to the City of San Juan _
Capistrano General Plan the limits of construction are located outside of the San Juan
Creek Trail. The TMP will include provisions for the San Juan Creek Bikeway, and as
indicated in Mitigation Measure TRF1, the TMP "shall consist of prior notices, adequate _
sign-postings, detours, phased construction and temporary driveways where necessary."
3c. Refer to Response 3b, above.
3d. The bikeway will be temporarily relocated during construction as indicated in the TMP
and the trail will not be impacted by the proposed project activities. It is not anticipated
that aboveground utility boxes or any other items would obstruct the bikeway. It is not
anticipated that manhole covers will be utilized within the relocated bikeway during
construction.
3e. The temporary relocation of the bikeway will ensure that debris from will not obstruct the
path, as the bikeway will be moved away from the construction area.
3f. With implementation of the TMP, the bikeway will be moved from it's current alignment
to an area where construction activities would not impact the path.
3g. Comment noted. After construction is complete, San Juan Creek Road and the bikeway
will be restored to their existing configurations. As the trail will not be impacted,
restoration will not be required.

Replacement at Via Esteusga project,City 61 San Juan Capistrano,Orange County
(SCV#2005121140)
rDear Ia.Amirani:
The Departmant of Fish and Game(Department)has reviewed the abovc-refereneed
Mitigated Negedve Declatatioa( j. The following statements and comments have been
prepared pursuant to the Department's authority as Trust=Agency withjtuisdicdott ova natural
reaottrees affactedby the project(CEQA Section 15386)and pursuant to out anthority as a
Responsible Agency vada CEQA Section 15381 over those aspects of the proposzd ptoj ect that
come under thepmview of the California Endangered Species Act(Fish and Game Code Section
2050 at seq.)and Fish and Game Code Section 1600 at seq. The Department also administers the
Natural Community Conservoloa Planning Program(NCCP).
The project site is located at the southom terminus of Via Fstmaga and crosses San Juan
Creek in the City of Sao Juan Capistrano(City). 11w proposed project will consist of the
replacement of a compromised eight-inch ductile iron waterline with a 12 inch high density
polyethylene pipeline.
Due to the environmental sensitivity of the Sao Juan Creek riverbed and the City's desire
to avoid adverse environmental impacts,the City has determined that directional drilling will be
used to construct the replacement waterline. Using gweialized equipment set up outside of the
creek bed area,the waterline would be installcd by drilling u0der the creek. The ends of the
waterline would than be cormected by conventional construction methods to the existing
waterline facilities.
The Depertmemt offers the following comments and recommendations to assist the City in
avoiding or minimi0ittg potential project impacts on biological resources. -

4A 1, The Depart rent's responsble agency jurisdiction extends to the alluvium that makes up the
streambed and to surface and subsuti'uce 'stream flows. Although the use of directional
boring for pipeline construction minimizes potential significant impacts to the creek when —
compared to traditional open trench construction,it does not eliminate all potential
substantial adverse effects to the creek and associated fish and wildlife. Directional boring
operations have failed causing diilli..ng thuds(e,g.,bentonite clay)to be deposited on and
within the stteambed's alluvium(frac-out),resulting in degraded spawning and foraging —
habitats and the smothering of aquatic plants and animals. In addition,depending on the
depth of the pipe and local site conditions,the pipe could interfere with the natural subsurface
flow of the stream,eausing more water to be at the surface during the summer months then
would otherwise occur,favoring some exotic invasive species(e.g.,bullfrog)over native fish —
and wilAIA The project,as proposed,requires notification to the Depamnent,pursuant to
1600 at seq.of the Fish and Game Code,and may require a Sticambed Alteration Agreement
with the applicant prior to any direct or indirect impact to a lake or stream bed,bank or
channel or associated riparian resources. Early consultation.is recommended,since
modification of the proposed project may be required to avoid or reduce impacts to fish and
wildlife resources.
The project should be designed to minimize the tisk of frac-out,andproject approval should
be conditioned to require a spill response pian to address potential frac-out which includes a
requirement that a biological monitor is present during and after the drilling operation to
inspect the sttoam for frac-out,and direct any clean-up operation if necessary.
4B 2, Tha ptolect as described in the MND includes abandoning the eight-inch ductile iron water
pipeline in place. The Department betieves abandoning the exposed pipeline in place has the
potential to adversely affect fish passage in San Juan Creels,and therefore has the potential to —.
be a significant impact Critical habitat for.Federally endangered southern steelhead trout
(Oneorhynclw myldss)was recently designated by National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration(NOAA)Fisheries downstream of the pipe,and important habitat exists
upstream of the pipe in Ronald W.Cespers Wilderness Paris and the Cleveland National —
FOML Arroyo chub(Gib oraatih a State species of special concern,and the rapidly
declining partially armored threespins stickleback(Gasrerosww acvlearw microcephalus)

species in the Creek,they need to move up and downstream as part of their natural Ufa cycle, —
iaoluding feeding,mating and spawning,and to access areas That provide better water quality
and to escape Area which become dry.'The Department recommends that the project be
conditioned to require the removal of the existing eight-inch waterline from the chamrcl,to
ten feet on either side of the active channel,and cap the ends, —

RESPONSE TO COMMENTS
San Juan Creek Waterline Crossing
Replacement at Via Estenaga RESPONSE TO COMMENTS
Response No. 4 —
4a. Prior to construction, the CDFG will be notified of the proposed activities and a 1602
Streambed Alteration Notification Package will be submitted to the California Department
of Fish and Game. If required, a Streambed Alteration Agreement will be obtained prior
to initiation of project activities.
Given the proposed installation depth of the pipe (30t feet) below the streambed, the
possibility of frac-outs in the environmentally sensitive area of San Juan Creek is very
unlikely. A similar project located 800 yards downstream was completed in the spring of
2005. The pipe was installed using the same technique and at similar depth below the
streambed (33 feet), and no frac-outs occurred.
4b. Pursuant to Comment 4b, it has been determined that the pipeline shall be removed by
hand crews to ten feet on either side of the channel and the ends of the removed
pipeline will be plugged with concrete. No heavy machinery shall be utilized within the
streambed. The use of hand crews will eliminate impacts to riparian habitat. —
Additionally, in order to reduce impacts to the arroyo toad, all project activities will occur
outside of the breeding season of the arroyo toad (March 15 through July 1) or after a
protocol level survey for the arroyo toad.

' NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT/NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY-NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE
SAN JUAN CREEK WATERLINE CROSSING REPLACEMENT AT VIA ESTENAGA PROJECT
' This serves as the City of San Juan Capistrano's Notice of Intention to adopt an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative
Declaration for the San Juan Creek Waterline Crossing Replacement at Via Estenaga Project,prepared in accordance
with the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA),State CEQA Guidelines and local implementation procedures.
' Name of Project.' San Juan Creek Waterline Crossing Replacement at Via Estenaga Project
Project Location: The proposed project site is located within the City of San Juan Capistrano, County of Orange. The
project site currently consists of eight4nch ductile iron pipeline that crosses the San Juan Creek at Via
Estenaga. The waterline crossing is bordered by Cook Cordova Park to the north,and San Juan Creek
Road in the vicinity of Paseo Christina to the south. Local access to the site is provided by Via Estenaga
or San Juan Creek Road, while regional access is provided via Interstate 5 or the Ortega Highway
(Highway 74), located west and north of the subject site, respectively.
' Lead Agency: City of San Juan Capistrano, 32400 Paseo Adelanto,San Juan Capistrano,CA 92675
' Project Description: The City of San Juan Capistrano owns and maintains an eight-inch ductile iron waterline which crosses
the San Juan Creek in the vicinity of Via Estenaga. The waterline crossing is bordered by Cook Cordova
Park on the north side, and San Juan Creek road in the vicinity of Paseo Christina on the south side.
During the heavy rainfall in January of this year,the waterline was compromised and now lies exposed in
' the creek. In order to ensure safe operation and maintenance of this line, the City must replace
appro>amately 600 feet of this waterline,and reconnect to their system on both sides of the creek. A 12-
inch line will be installed,replacing the wristing eight4nch line to increase capacity and improve service
conditions.
' Due to the environmental sensitivity of the San Juan Creek riverbed and the City's desire to avoid adverse
environmental impacts, the City has determined that directional drilling will be used to construct the
replacement waterline. Using specialized equipment set up outside of the creek bed area,the waterline
would be installed by drilling under the creek. The drill head will be guided by a Global Positioning
System to ensure that the waterline is installed in the desired horizontal and vertical alignment The ends
of the waterline would then be connected by conventional construction methods to the existing waterline
facilities located outside the creek bed area.Once the new line has been installed and energized,the old
' line will be abandoned in place.
Pro eiectAppikant: City of San Juan Capistrano
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT the City of San Juan Capistrano proposes to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration forthe
above-cited project. Such a Mitigated Negative Declaration is based on the findings that, by implementing the mitigation
measures that have been agreed to by the project applicant before the environmental document is circulated, the project's
potential significant adverse impacts will be reduced to a less than significant level. The reasons to support such a finding are
documented by an Initial Study prepared by the City of San Juan Capistrano. Copies of the Initial Study,the Pro Miligated

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of San Juan Capistrano Public Works Department services an area of
approximately 14.4 square miles mostly within the corporate boundaries of the City of
San Juan Capistrano. The proposed project site currently consists of an 8" ductile iron
waterline which crosses the San Juan Creek in the vicinity of Via Estenaga. The
waterline crossing is bordered by Cook Cordova Park on the north side, and San Juan
Creek road in the vicinity of Paseo Christina on the south side.
The City of San Juan Capistrano has identified the need to replace the existing pipeline.
During the heavy rainfall in January of this year, the waterline was compromised and
now lies exposed in the creek. In order to ensure safe operation and maintenance of
this line, the City must replace approximately 600 feet of this waterline, and reconnect to
their system on both sides of the creek. A 12-inch line will be installed, replacing the
' existing eight-inch line to increase capacity and improve service conditions.
In accordance with CEQA (Public Resources Code Sections 21000-21177) and pursuant
to Section 15063 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), the City, acting in the
capacity of Lead Agency, is required to undertake the preparation of an Initial Study to
determine if the proposed project would have a significant environmental impact. Based
on this Initial Study, the City has determined that the project, as modified to include the
mitigation measures identified in the Initial Study, would not have a significant effect on
the environment and proposes to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration. Such
determination can be made only if"there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole
record before the Lead Agency" that such impacts may occur (section 21080(c), Public
Resources Code).
' Based on the results of the analyses, the proposed project would have no significant
effects on Air Quality, Geology and Soils, and Noise because the following mitigation
measures would reduce potential effects to less than significant levels:
Air Quality
AQ.1 The following dust suppression measures as outlined in SCAQMD Rule 403,
shall be included as part of the project's construction.
Revegetate disturbed areas as quickly as possible;
❖ All excavating and grading operations shall be suspended when wind
speeds (as instantaneous gusts) exceed 25 mph;
❖ All streets shall be swept once per day if visible soil materials are carried
to adjacent streets (recommend water sweepers with reclaimed water);
•S Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto
paved roads, or wash trucks and any equipment leaving the site each trip;
❖ All on-site roads shall be paved as soon as feasible, watered periodically,
or chemically stabilized; and
❖ The area disturbed by clearing, grading, earthmoving, or excavation
operations shall be minimized at all times.
AQ.2 The Construction Contractor shall select construction equipment based on
low emission factors and high-energy efficiency. The Construction Contractor
shall ensure that construction grading plans include a statement that all
construction equipment will be tuned and maintained in accordance with the
manufacturer's specifications. Compliance with this measure will be subject to
periodic inspections of construction equipment vehicles by the City.
Biological Resources
BIO.1 To avoid potential trampling of arroyo toad, removal of the exposed portions
of the existing pipeline within San Juan Creek shall occur outside of the
breeding season (March 15 through July 1). If pipeline removal cannot be
conducted outside of the breeding season, then the City will arrange for
protocol presence/absence surveys for the arroyo toad to be conducted
within the project area by a qualified biologist, a maximum of two weeks prior
to any work within the San Juan Creek channel. If arroyo toad is determined
to be present within the study area, pipeline removal activities within the
channel shall be postponed to occur outside the breeding season or, the City
may direct their biologist to contact the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service to determine the appropriate action to allow removal to proceed and
avoid a take of the species.
BIO.2 Prior to construction, the CDFG shall be notified of the proposed activities
and a 1602 Streambed Alteration Notification Package shall be submitted to
the California Department of Fish and Game. If required, a Streambed
Alteration Agreement shall be obtained prior to initiation of project activities.
Cultural Resources
CRA Archeological Monitor. A qualified archaeologist (defined as an archaeologist
on the List of Certified Archaeologists for Orange County) shall be retained
(at the project applicants expense) by the City of San Juan Capistrano and
shall be present at pre-construction meetings to advise construction _
contractors about the sensitive nature of cultural resources located on and/or
in the vicinity of the project site, as well as monitoring requirements. A
qualified monitor (defined as an individual with a bachelors degree in _
anthropology with archaeological monitoring experience), supervised by the
qualified archaeologist, shall observe on- and off-site construction activities
that result in grading, and/or excavating below the original ground surface
(including during project-related off-site utility [natural gas, electricity, sewer,
water, drainage, communications, etc.] and roadway improvements). Should
non-human cultural resources be discovered, the monitor shall have the
power to temporarily halt or divert construction activities until the qualified —
archaeologist can determine if the resources are significant and, if significant,
until recovered by the archaeologist. In the event that human remains are
discovered, construction activities shall be halted or diverted until the
provisions of §7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code and §5097.98 of the
Public Resources Code have been implemented.
Hydrology and Water Quality
WQ.1 Prior to commencement of removal activities, a Waste Discharge
Requirement (WDR) or a waiver thereof, may be required from the San Diego
RWQCB for the discharge of potable water to San Juan Creek. If WDRs are
prescribed, the City of San Juan Capistrano shall incorporate mitigation
measures identified in the WDR to reduce potential significant impacts to
water quality and potential public nuisance that are due to the treatment or
discharge of waste.
Noise
N.1 Noise sources associated with construction activities shall be exempt from the
provisions of the City's noise code if conducted from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on
Monday through Friday, or from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Construction is prohibited at any time on Sunday or a Federal holiday.
N.2 Equipment shall use available noise suppression devices and properly
1 maintained mufflers. All internal combustion engines used at the Project site
shall be equipped with the type of muffler recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer. In addition, all equipment shall be maintained in good mechanical
condition so as to minimize noise created by faulty or poorly maintained engine,
' drive-train and other components.
N.3 During all site preparation, contractors shall minimize the staging of construction
equipment and unnecessary idling of equipment in the vicinity of residential land
uses.
NA The equipment staging area shall be situated so as to provide the greatest
distance separation between construction-related noise sources and noise-
sensitive receptors nearest the Project site during all Project construction.
N.5 Notification shall be given to residences within 91 meters (300 feet) of planned
construction activities thirty (30) days prior to commencement of demolition
activity, and shall include a brief description of the project, the overall duration of
1 the various construction stages, noise abatement measures that will taken, and
the name and phone number of the construction site supervisor or his designee
to report any violation of a noise or mitigation standard.
Transportation/Traffic
TRF 1 A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) shall be prepared to address short-term
mitigation for roadways and shall be subject to City approval prior to
demolition or construction of any facilities. This plan shall consist of prior
notices, adequate sign-postings, detours, phased construction and temporary
driveways where necessary. The Plan shall specify implementation timing of
each plan element (prior notices, sign-postings, detours, etc.) as determined
' appropriate by the Water District Engineer. Adequate access to and from
residential areas shall be provided at all times. Proper detours and warning
signs shall be established to ensure public safety. The TMP shall be devised
so that construction activities shall not interfere with any emergency response
' of evacuation plans. Construction activities shall proceed in a timely manner
in an effort to reduce impacts.

CITY OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO-PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT SAN JUAN CREEK WATERLINE CROSSING
REPLACEMENT AT VIA ESTENAGA
1 .0 INTRODUCTION
The City of San Juan Capistrano as Lead Agency(Public Works Department-City)has determined
that the San Juan Creek Waterline Crossing Replacement at Via Estenaga constitutes a project
subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This Initial Study
t addresses the direct, indirect,and cumulative environmental effects associated with implementation
of the proposed San Juan Creek Waterline Crossing Replacement at Via Estenaga Project.
' 1.1 STATUTORY AUTHORITY AND REQUIREMENTS
In accordance with CEQA(Public Resources Code Sections 21000-21177)and pursuant to Section
15063 of the California Code of Regulations(CCR),the City,as Lead Agency, has determined that
the proposed project does not qualify for eithera statutory nor categorical exemption.Consequently,
the City is required to undertake the preparation of an Initial Study to determine if the proposed
project would have a significant environmental impact.
The environmental documentation, prepared in accordance with CEQA, is intended as an
informational document undertaken to provide an environmental basis forsubsequent discretionary
actions upon the project. The resulting document is not, however, a policy document and its
approval and/or certification neither presupposes nor mandates any actions on the part of those
agencies from whom permits and other discretionary approvals would be required.
The City's Environmental Determination and supporting analysis is subject to a public review period.
During this review, public agencies and residents have the opportunity to comment on the document
relative to environmental issues. Following review of any comments received,the City will consider
these comments as a part of the project's environmental review and include them with the Initial
Study Document for consideration pursuant to the City's Local CEQA Guidelines.While not required
by CEQA in cases where the City would adopt an Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND), the City may prepare written responses to comments received.
1.2 PURPOSE
The purpose of the Initial Study is to: (1) identify environmental impacts; (2) provide the Lead
Agency with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an EIR or Negative
Declaration; (3) enable an applicant or Lead Agency to modify the project, mitigating adverse
impacts before an EIR is prepared;(4)facilitate environmental assessment early in the design of the
project;(5)provide documentation of the factual basis for the finding in a Negative Declaration that a
project would not have a significant environment effect; (6)eliminate needless EIRs; (7)determine
whether a previously prepared EIR could be used for the project;and(8)assist in the preparation of
an EIR, if required, by focusing the EIR on the effects determined to be significant, identifying the
effects determined not to be significant, and explaining the reasons for determining that potentially
significant effects would not be significant.
Section 15063 of the State CEQA Guidelines identifies specific disclosure requirements for inclusion
in an Initial Study. Pursuant to those requirements,an Initial Study shall include:(1)a description of
the project, including the location of the project;(2)an identification of the environmental setting;(3)
an identification of environmental effects by use of a checklist, matrix or other method, provided that
entries on a checklist or other form are briefly explained to indicate that there is some evidence to
support the entries; (4)a discussion of ways to mitigate significant effects identified, if any; (5)an
examination of whether the project is compatible with existing zoning, plans, and other applicable
land use controls; and (6)the name of the person or persons who prepared or participated in the
preparation of the Initial Study.
The City has not previously prepared any environmental documentation with respect to this project.

1.3 CONSULTATION
When the Lead Agency has determined that an Initial Study would be required for the project,
according to Section 15063(g) of the CEQA Guidelines, the Lead Agency is directed to consult
informally with all Responsible Agencies and Trustee Agencies that are responsible for resources
affected by the project, in order to obtain the recommendations of those agencies as to whether an
EIR or Negative Declaration should be prepared for the project. Following receipt of any written
comments from those agencies, the Lead Agency would consider any recommendations of those
agencies in the formulation of the preliminary findings. Following execution of this Initial Study,the
Lead Agency would initiate formal consultation with these and other governmental agencies as
required under CEQA and its implementing guidelines.
1.4 INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE
Pertinent documents relating to this Initial Study have been cited and incorporated, in accordance
with Sections 15148 and 15150 of the CEQA Guidelines, to eliminate the need for inclusion of
voluminous engineering and technical reports within the CEQA document. Of particular relevance
are those previous EIRs that present information regarding descriptions of environmental settings,
future development-related growth and cumulative impacts. This Initial Study/Negative Declaration _
has incorporated, by reference, the City of San Juan Capistrano General Plan, dated May 7,2002;
the City of San Juan Capistrano Water Master Plan Update, dated March 2004; and the County of
Orange General Plan. These planning and environmental clearance documents include numerous
mitigation measures and policies related to the proposed project. These documents were utilized
throughout this Initial Study/Environmental Checklist and are available for review. The City of San
Juan Capistrano General Plan is available at the City's Planning Department office,located at 32400
Paseo Adelanto, San Juan Capistrano, California 92675. The City of San Juan Capistrano Water —
MasterPlan Update is available for review at the Public Works Office, 32450 Paseo Adelanto,San
Juan Capistrano, California 92675. The Orange County General Plan is available for review online
at http://www.ocplanning.neVdocs/GeneralPlan2004/. —
City of San Juan Capistrano General Plan, May 7, 2002. The General Plan, comprehensively
updated and approved by the City Council on December 16, 1999, serves as a policy guide for
determining the appropriate physical development and character of the City. This is accomplished
through the City's implementation of the General Plan's twelve(12)Elements. The General Plan is
also used to determine appropriate land uses for sites within the City. In conjunction with this use, _
development proposals are reviewed for consistency with the General Plan.
City of San Juan Capistrano Water Master Plan Update, March 2004. The Water Master Plan
was adopted by the City in order to account for the changes in land use planning, to efficiently
allocate existing and planned supply sources, and to assess the conditions of its aging facilities.
The 1999 Master Plan developed a calibrated hydraulic model of the water system, analyzed its
ability to provide proper service, and evaluated the then existing system components. It developed —
a capital improvement plan that would mitigate the deficiencies, and construct facilities that would
support future development. Since 1999, several changes took place and are addressed in the
2002 Master Plan Update. These changes include earlier utilization of supplies through the South —
County Pipeline to serve areas in the southerly portions of the system;the need to replace Terminal
Reservoir No.2 due to landslides;providing service to the 362 Zone(High Westside)from the Joint
Regional Water Supply System Transmission Main connection near Dei Obispo;the need to replace
the existing 0.3 MG Cook's Reservoir with a 1.34 MG reservoir; and further revisions in land use
planning. Additionally, the 2002 Update developed a capital improvement program to provide
proper service to customers at a reasonable cost.

REPLACEMENT AT VIA ESTENAGA
2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
I2.1 PROJECT LOCATIONISETTING
The City is located in southwestern Orange County, approximately 55 miles south of Los Angeles
and 66 miles north of San Diego(refer to Exhibit 1, Regional Vicinity Map). The City Public Works
Department serves an area of approximately 14.4 square miles mostly within the corporate
boundaries of the City of San Juan Capistrano. The service area includes a small portion of the City
of Dana Point. The existing service area population is 32,500. It is projected to increase to 41,725
persons at ultimate build-out(year 2020). The majority of the service area consists of residential
land uses (43 percent) and open space (48 percent). Commercial and industrial development(4
percent),agriculture(4 percent),and public institutional uses(1 percent)comprise the remainder of
the City's service area. Elevations within the service area vary between 15 feet and 880 feet above
mean sea level(msl). The water distribution system consists of 33 separate pressure zones, 186.4
miles of pipelines, 10 reservoirs,9 active booster stations, and 4 sources of water supply. The four
sources of potable water for the City are the groundwater recovery plant,2 potable water production
wells, and water imported from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.
The current project site consists of an existing eight-inch ductile iron pipe that traverses the San
Juan Creek. The project site is located at the southern terminus of Via Estenaga and crosses the
San Juan Creek in the City of San Juan Capistrano,County of Orange. The elevation of the subject
site is approximately 120 feet above mean sea level (msl). Horse stables and the Cook Cordova
Park are present to the north of the project site and San Juan Creek Road and residential uses are
present to the south. Local access to the site is provided via Via Estenaga or San Juan Creek Road,
while regional access is provided via Interstate 5(1-5)and Ortega Highway(Highway 74), located
west and north of the project site, respectively.
2.2 BACKGROUND
Water service to the City of San Juan Capistrano's service area was originally provided by Orange
County Water Works District No. 4 (OCWWD No. 4), which was formed on January 18, 1930.
OCWWD No. 4 was under the control of the Orange County Board of Supervisors acting in the
capacity of the Board of Directors until March 1970. In 1970, OCWWD No.4 became a subsidiary
district of the City(Capistrano Valley Water District(CVWD)), and the City Council became the ex-
officio Board of Directors. The City's Public Works Department assumed responsibility for the water
services operation of the CVWD on July 1, 1997.
' The City's water system used local groundwater as its sole source of supply until 1965 when
imported water became available through the Tri-Cities Municipal Water District. Currently,most of
the water demand is purchased from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California through
the South County Pipeline and the Tri-Cities Municipal Water District through Eastern and Joint
Transmission Mains. Local groundwater supply varies mostly by the rainfall pattern in the San Juan
Creek and Trabuco Creek water basins, and partly by rainfall depth.
During the heavy winter storms of January 2005 the existing eight-inch ductile iron pipeline was
exposed. In order to prevent a significant loss of water service due to a break in the existing,
exposed pipeline,the City of San Juan Capistrano is proposing to replace the existing pipeline with
a 12-inch high-density polyethylene pipeline.

REPLACEMENTAT VIA ESTENAGA
2.3 PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS
The City of San Juan Capistrano owns and maintains an eight-inch ductile iron waterline which
crosses the San Juan Creek in the vicinity of Via Estenaga. The waterline crossing is bordered by
Cook Cordova Park on the north side,and San Juan Creek road in the vicinity of Paseo Christina on
the south side. During the heavy rainfall in January of this year,the waterline was compromised and
now lies exposed in the creek. In order to ensure safe operation and maintenance of this line, the
City must replace approximately 600 feet of this waterline, and reconnect to their system on both
sides of the creek. A 12-inch line will be installed, replacing the existing eight-inch line to increase
capacity and improve service conditions.
Due to the environmental sensitivity of the San Juan Creek riverbed and the City's desire to avoid
adverse environmental impacts, the City has determined that directional drilling will be used to
construct the replacement waterline. Using specialized equipment set up outside of the creek bed
area, the waterline would be installed by drilling under the creek. The drill head will be guided by a
Global Positioning System to ensure that the waterline is installed in the desired horizontal and
vertical alignment. The ends of the waterline would then be connected by conventional construction
methods to the existing waterline facilities located outside the creek bed area.
Once the new line has been installed and energized, the old line will be removed using field crews.
Sodium sulfate tablets will be used to dechlorinate the water in the existing pipeline prior to removal.
The dechlorination process will occur by creating a small pit(3'x 3') under the two locations where
the existing line will be cut. This pit will be lined with a filter fabric to catch the water and any
sediment in the line. The sodium sulfate tablets will be placed in the filter fabric lined pit to insure
that no chlorine enters the stream. The pipeline will be tapped and a hose attachment will be
M installed at the low point of the pipeline near the cut locations. The hose will then be turned on and
the line drained so that a trickle of water deposits in the lined pit with sodium sulfate tablets. The
hand crew will ensure that the pit would not overnow.
The field crews will use hand tools to remove the pipeline to avoid introducing heavy construction
equipment into the environmental sensitive creek bed area. Awheelbarrow will be used to carry the
' removed pipeline to a dump truck, where it will be loaded and disposed of at an approved waste
disposal facility. The existing pipeline will be removed to 10 feet on either side of the creek, the
remaining existing pipe will be capped and abandoned. The pipeline will only be removed once the
line has been completely drained.
The existing pope will be abandoned in plaGe.
2.4 PHASING
The total project duration is estimated to be about three (3) months. Unforeseen delays from
inclement weather or material shortages could extend the project to about four(4) months.

The environmental analysis in this section are patterned after the Initial Study Checklist
recommended bythe City's Local CEQA Guidelines and used bythe City in its environmental review
process. For the preliminary environmental assessment undertaken as part of this Initial Study's
preparation,a determination that there is a potential forsignificant effects indicates the need to more
fully analyze the development's impacts and to identify mitigation.
For the evaluation of potential impacts,the questions in the Initial Study Checklist are stated and an
answer is provided according to the analysis undertaken as part of the Initial Study. The analysis
' considers the long-term, direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of the proposed project. To each
question, there are four possible responses:
❖ No Impact. The project will not have any measurable environmental impact on the
environment.
❖ Less Than Significant Impact. The project will have the potential to impact the
environment, although this impact will be below established thresholds that are
considered to be significant. Established thresholds are defined in the Master Plan's
Program Environmental Impact Report and Supplemental Environmental Impact Report.
Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporation. The project will have the
potential to generate impacts which may be considered as a significant effect on the
' environment, although mitigation measures or changes to the project's physical or
operational characteristics can reduce these impacts to levels that are less than
significant.
❖ Potentially Significant Impact. The project will have impacts which are considered
significant,and additional mitigation measures can not reduce these impacts to less than
significant levels.

project. For the evaluation of potential impacts, the questions in the Initial Study Checklist(Section
2) are stated and answers are provided according to the analysis undertaken as part of the Initial
Study. The analysis considers the project's short-term impacts (construction-related), and its
operational or day-to-day impacts. For each question, there are four possible responses. They
include:
1. No Impact. Future development arising from the project's implementation will not have any
measurable environmental impact on the environment and no additional analysis is required.
' 2. Less Than Sionificant Impact.The development associated with project implementation will
have the potential to impact the environment;these impacts, however,will be less than the
levels or thresholds that are considered significant and no additional analysis is required.
' 3. Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporation. The development will have the potential
to generate impacts which may be considered as a significant effect on the environment,
' although mitigation measures or changes to the project's physical or operational
characteristics can reduce these impacts to levels that are less than significant.
4. Potentially Significant Impact. Future implementation will have impacts that are considered
significant, and additional analysis is required to identify mitigation measures that could
reduce these impacts to less than significant levels.
The following is a discussion of potential project impacts as identified in the Initial Study.
Explanations are provided for each item.

4.2 AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: In
determining. whether _ impacts to _
agricultural resources re`' signifioant
environmental effects, lead agencies may
refer to the California Agricultural Land
Evaluation and Site, Assessment Model -
(1997')prepared by the;California Dept. of
Conservation as an optional model to use
in assessing:inipacts on-agriculture and _
farmland. Would the project
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique
Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide _
Importance (Farmland), as shown on the
maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland ❑ ❑ ❑ X
Mapping and Monitoring Program of the
California Resources Agency, to non-
agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural ❑ ❑ ❑ X
use, or a Williamson Act contract? _
c) Involve other changes in the existing
environment which,due to their location or ❑ ❑ ❑ X
nature, could result in conversion of
Farmland, to non-agricultural use?
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance(Farmland),
as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of —
the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?No Impact. Designated land uses
within the project area do not include agricultural uses and project implementation would not
stimulate conversion of existing farmland to non-agricultural uses. Therefore, project —
components do not affect an agricultural resource area and thus do not impact designated
Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance.
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? No Impact. The
proposed project is located in an area zoned for general open space; agricultural designations
do not occur within the project area and no Williamson Act Contracts apply. Additionally,project
activities will occur within the streambed of the San Juan Creek,where no agricultural uses are
present. Therefore, implementation of the project would not result in any conflicts with existing
zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act Contract. No impacts are anticipated in this
regard.

c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could
result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use? No Impact. As previously stated,the
proposed project area is not located within an agricultural area. Thus, implementation of this
project would not result in changes in the environment,which would result in the conversion of
farmland to non-agricultural use. No impacts are anticipated in this regard.

4.3 AIR QUALITY -- Where available, the
significance criteria established by the
applicable'air quality management or air
pollution control distrid may be relied upon
to make the 'following determinations.
Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of ❑ ❑ X ❑
the applicable air quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or
contribute substantially to an existing or ❑ X ❑ ❑
projected air quality violation?
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net
increase of any criteria pollutant for which
the project region is non-attainment under
an applicable federal or state ambient air ❑ X ❑ ❑
quality standard (including releasing
emissions which exceed quantitative
thresholds for ozone precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantiaF ❑ ❑ X ❑
pollutant concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a ❑ ❑ X ❑
substantial number of people?
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? Less Than
Significant Impact. A potentially significant impact to air quality would occur if the project would
conflict with or obstruct the implementation of the applicable air quality plan. According to the
SCAQMD's CEQA Handbook (SCAQMD, updated November 1993), the purpose of the
consistency finding is to determine if a project is inconsistent with the assumptions and
objectives of the regional air quality plans,and thus if it would interfere with the region's abilityto
comply with Federal and State Ambient Air Quality Standards (AAQS). If the project is
inconsistent, local governments need to consider project modifications or inclusion of mitigation
' to eliminate the inconsistency. It is important to note that even if a project is found consistent,it
could still have a significant impact on air quality under CEQA. Growth assumptions within the
AQMP are based the growth assumptions and land use designations included within local
' general plans. Therefore, consistency with the AQMP is analyzed in regards to the project's
consistency with the local general plan.
Following construction,the pipeline would not generate stationary or mobile source emissions.
During construction, particulate emissions would temporarily add to the existing regional non-
attainment problem. Additionally, construction activities would result in criteria pollutant
' emissions from stationary and mobile equipment. However, standard construction emissions
control measures would be implemented to minimize such emissions to below a level of
significance. Additionally, after construction of the subject site is complete, all construction-
related impacts would cease.

A main infrastructure policy that relates directly to air quality management is that expansions,
upgrades or new facilities be provided conjointly with the growth it would serve, and that the
infrastructure be sized according to the land use designations and intensities included in locally
adopted General Plans. The proposed project is a pipeline replacement project. Thus, the
project would not facilitate growth or new land use activities and would not, therefore, result in
any conflicts with AQMP assumptions regarding growth and long-term air quality in this service
area. Impacts are anticipated to be less than significant.
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality
violation?
CONSTRUCTION EMISSIONS
Equipment Exhausts and Related Construction Activities
Less Than Significant with Mitigation.Construction activities produce combustion emissions _
from various sources such as site grading, utility engines, on-site heavy-duty construction
vehicles, and motor vehicles transporting the construction crew. Exhaust emissions from
construction activities envisioned on-site would vary daily as construction activity levels change.
The use of construction equipment on-site would result in localized exhaust emissions. It is
assumed that asphalt laydown or architectural coating activities would not be needed for the
proposed project.
For the pipeline laydown, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) will be utilized. The method of
horizontal directional drilling(HDD)is considered a"trenchless"method to install new pipelines
and other facilities. HDD refers to a steerable system for the installation of pipes, conduits, and -
cables in a shallow arch using a drill rig at the ground surface.' Thus, it is anticipated that only a
minimal amount of earthmoving activities would occur. Equipment required includes two
backhoes, one mud recycling system, and one drill rig. The construction emissions were _
estimated for a conservative three-month schedule and are depicted in Table 4.3-1, TOTAL
DAILY CONSTRUCTION EMISSIONS. Additionally, it is assumed there would be 15
construction workers, each traveling a 30-mile roundtrip to the site. _

As illustrated in Table 4.3-1, construction emissions associated with the Project would not
exceed SCAQMD thresholds of significance. However,to comply with the SCAQMD Rules and
Regulations, Mitigation Measures have been recommended to reduce PM10 emissions;refer to —
Mitigation Measure AQ.1. Implementation of AQ.1 regarding dust control techniques(e.g.,daily
watering), limitations on construction hours reduce PM10 levels.Additionally,Mitigation has been
included to reduce nuisance emissions from idling equipment;refer to Mitigation Measure AQ.2. _

REPLACEMENT AT VIA ESTENAGA
With adherence to the proposed Mitigation,the Project will comply with all applicable SCAQMD
rules and regulations.
LONG-TERM PROJECT-RELATED EMISSIONS
Following construction, the proposed pipeline would not generate any stationary emissions or
vehicular trips, and would generate insignificant and infrequent mobile emissions associated
with periodic maintenance and monitoring activities. Therefore, long-term emissions are not
anticipated.
Due to the nature of the project, project generated emissions from both construction activities
and operations would not result in significant air quality impacts on a local or regional basis
' since the SCAQMD thresholds of significance would not be exceeded.
Mitigation Measures:
' AQ.1 The following dust suppression measures as outlined in SCAQMD Rule 403, shall be
included as part of the project's construction.
❖ Revegetate disturbed areas as quickly as possible;
❖ All excavating and grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds (as
instantaneous gusts)exceed 25 mph;
•A All streets shall be swept once per day if visible soil materials are carried to adjacent
streets (recommend water sweepers with reclaimed water);
Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto paved
roads, or wash trucks and any equipment leaving the site each trip;
•: All on-site roads shall be paved as soon as feasible, watered periodically, or
chemically stabilized; and
❖ The area disturbed by clearing, grading,earthmoving, or excavation operations shall
be minimized at all times.
AQ.2 The Construction Contractor shall select construction equipment based on low emission
factors and high-energy efficiency. The Construction Contractor shall ensure that
construction grading plans include a statement that all construction equipment will be
tuned and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.Compliance
with this measure will be subject to periodic inspections of construction equipment
vehicles by the City.
' c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project
by region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard
(including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?
' Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporation. Refer to Responses 4.3a and 4.3b.
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? Less Than Significant
' Impact. Sensitive populations(i.e., children,senior citizens and acutely or chronically ill people)
are more susceptible to the effects of air pollution than are the general population. Land uses
considered sensitive receptors typically include residences, schools, playgrounds, childcare
centers, hospitals, convalescent homes, and retirement homes.Sensitive receptors in proximity
' to the project site include several residential homes along San Juan Creek Road. Although
construction and operation of the project would increase vehicle trips on area roadways and
result in associated air pollutants,these increases would not significantly contribute to pollution
levels. Impacts are not anticipated to be significant.

Departmentof Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? Less Than Significant with
Mitigation. According to the Biological Resources Report nine special interest and five special-
status animal species potentially exist within the project area. These species include the _

REPLACEMENT AT VIA ESTENAGA
tidewater goby (Eucyclogobius newberryt), arroyo toad (Bufo californicus), coastal California
gnatcatcher(Polioptila californica californica),least Bell's vireo(LBV)(Viero bellii pusillus),and
southwestem willow flycatcher(SWWF) (Empidonex traillii exteimus). Of these species, the
arroyo toad has a moderate probability of occurring in the project area, as suitable breeding
habitat is present in the open water areas of the creek bed and the species is known from one
mile upstream. Additionally, suitable habitat for the LBV and SWWF is present in the willow
riparian forest within the creek and adjacent banks. LBV has a moderate probability of
occurrence within the project area. The SWWF has a low probability of occurring within the
project area, as the species is not known in the area. Due to the proposed methods of
construction and implementation of noise mitigation measures(discussed below), no riparian
vegetation will be removed; therefore impacts to LBV or SWWF is considered less than
significant.
' The arroyo toad is a federally listed endangered species and a State species of special concern
and has a low to moderate potential to occur as a breeding species within the San Juan Creek
' channel. *FnpaGtS t8 the aFIVy0
toad would be less than sigRifiGant.— The use of hand crews has Potential to result in the
trampling of the arroyo toad during the manual removal of the existing Pipeline Implementation
of mitigation measures would reduce impacts to arroyo toad to less than significant.
Mitigation Measures:
6101. To avoid Potential trampling of arroyo toad, removal of the exposed portions of the
existing pipeline within San Juan Creek shall occur outside of the breeding season
(March 15 through July 1). If pipeline removal cannot be conducted outside of the
' breeding season, then the City will arrange for protocol presence/absence surveys for
the arroyo toad to be conducted within the project area by a qualified biologist a
maximum of two weeks Prior to any work within the San Juan Creek channel. If arroyo
toad is determined to be present within the study area Pipeline removal activities within
the channel shall be postponed to occur outside the breeding season or, the City may
direct their biologist to contact the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to determine
' the appropriate action to allow removal to proceed and avoid a take of the species.
b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community
identified in local or regional plans,policies,regulations or by the California Department of Fish
and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? Less Than Significant with Mitigation. The
project area consists of four habitat types (southern willow riparian forest, mulefat scrub,
disturbed areas, and ornamental landscaping). However, no special interest or special status
' plant species were observed within the study area during the field surveys, and none are
expected to occur due to lack of suitable habitat. Therefore, project impacts to special-interest
and special-status plant species are considered less than significant and no mitigation is
' required. Additionally,due to the proposed construction methods, no riparian vegetation will be
removed or impacted as part of the proposed project. Therefore, no riparian habitat or other
sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, and regulations or by
the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wild Service will be impacted by
the proposed project. Impacts are considered less than significant.
Mitigation Measure:
610.2 Prior to construction, the CDFG shall be notified of the proposed activities and a 1602
Streambed Alteration Notification Package shall be submitted to the California
' Department of Fish and Game. If required. a Streambed Alteration Agreement shall be
obtained prior to initiation of Proiect activities.

c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through
direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? No Impact. Wetlands, as
defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, exist or have been identified on-site. However,
due to the proposed construction methods,the project would not result in impacts to wetlands.
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife
species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of
native wildlife nursery sites? No Impact. With implementation of the proposed construction
methods and noise mitigation measures (described below), project implementation would not
interfere with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species, with
established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife
nursery sites. No impacts are anticipated in this regard.
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree _
preservation policy or ordinance? No Impact. Existing trees within the Project site are not
anticipated to be removed, as the project will not impact vegetation within the project area.
f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community
Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? No
Impact. The project area is situated in the Coastal and Southern Sub-region of the County of
Orange Natural Community Conservation Plan and Habitat Conservation Plan (NCCP). The
NCCP process for the Coastal Southern Orange County Subregion is on-going and is not yet
completed. The Implementation Agreement has not yet been prepared. However,the City is a
signatory to the Planning Agreement for the sub-region. Additionally,the project will not result in —
impacts to vegetation within the San Juan Creek and surrounding area. Therefore the project
would not result in conservation planning impacts.

two tie-in locations that have been disturbed by grading, landscaping,installation of the existing —
pipeline to the north, and San Juan Creek Road to the south. The area to be traversed by the
replacement pipeline is almost entirely located within the active stream channel of San Juan

' CITY OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO-PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT SAN JUAN CREEK WATERLINE CROSSING
REPLACEMENT AT VIA ESTENAGA
Creek. Therefore, project implementation is not expected to cause a substantial adverse
change in the significance of a historical resource.
' According to the Cultural Resources Element of the City of San Juan Capistrano General Plan
(Figure CR-2, Locations of Prehistoric and Historic Archeological Resources), the project site
and surrounding area is located within an archaeological or historically sensitive area.
LSA Associates(LSA)conducted a Cultural Resource Assessment in October 2005. According
to a records and literature search at the South Central Coastal Information Center located at
California State University, Fullerton, conducted by LSA, the project area has been previously
surveyed and no cultural resources have been documented within the project area. The closest
site, CA-ORA-243, is located approximately 1,000 feet to the east of the project area. Five
previous reports have examined either the entire or portions of the project area, four of which
area surveys. LSA conducted a field survey on October 3, 2005. No cultural resources were
identified during the survey. Due to the extensive disturbance that has occurred at the northern
and southern tie-in locations, the active stream channel, and the depth of the replacement
pipeline installation, the Cultural Resource Assessment concluded that there is very little
potential for unidentified buried resources to be present. However, the extensive pre-historic
Native American habitation along creeks could result in the presence of sub-surface artifacts.
' The removal of significant soil as part of the boring process could un-earth such resources.
Therefore, impacts could be significant.
' Mitigation Measures:
CRI. Archeological Monitor.A qualified archaeologist(defined as an archaeologist on the List
of Certified Archaeologists for Orange County) shall be retained (at the project
applicant's expense) by the City of San Juan Capistrano and shall be present at pre-
construction meetings to advise construction contractors about the sensitive nature of
cultural resources located on and/or in the vicinity of the project site, as well as
monitoring requirements. A qualified monitor(defined as an individual with a bachelors
degree in anthropology with archaeological monitoring experience), supervised by the
qualified archaeologist,shall observe on-and off-site construction activities that result in
grading, and/or excavating below the original ground surface (including during project-
related off-site utility [natural gas, electricity, sewer, water, drainage, communications,
etc.]and roadway improvements). Should non-human cultural resources be discovered,
' the monitor shall have the power to temporarily halt or divert construction activities until
the qualified archaeologist can determine if the resources are significant and, if
significant, until recovered by the archaeologist. In the event that human remains are
' discovered, construction activities shall be halted or diverted until the provisions of
§7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code and §5097.98 of the Public Resources Code
have been implemented.
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant
to CEQA Guidelines§ 15064.5? No Impact. Refer to Response 4.5(a).
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic
feature? No Impact. The City's General Plan does not address paleontological resources.
' According to the County of Orange General Plan the project area is considered to be an area of
sensitivity for paleontological resources. Paleontological sites are abundant in southern Orange
County, specifically along the coast and in creek areas. However, no County Master
Environmental Assessment Sensitivity Maps are available. Due to the extensive disturbance
which has occurred on the property, there is no potential for sub-surface resources to be
present.

d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? No Impact
There are no known formal grave sites within the project limits. However,pre-historic burials are
not uncommon along the creeks corridors within the City. Therefore,the disturbance of human
remains is not anticipated. However, in the unlikely event that human remains would be
encountered, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 states that no further disturbance
shall occur until the County Coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition
pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. The County Coroner must be notified of
the find immediately. If the remains are determined to be prehistoric,the Coroner will notify the
Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which will determine and notify a Most Likely
Descendant(MILD). With the permission of the landowner or his/her authorized representative,
the MLD may inspect the site of the discovery. The MLD shall complete the inspection within 24
hours of notification by the NAHC. The MLD will have the opportunity to offer recommendations
on the disposition of the remains.

i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo
Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other
substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special
' Publication 42. No Impact. The project site is located within the seismically active southern
California region and would likely be subjected to groundshaking, thus exposing proposed
water transmission and storage facilities to seismic hazards. No known active seismic faults
traverse the City of San Juan Capistrano. However, the City is located within 50 miles of
several known potential sources of strong shaking, including the offshore segment of the
Newport-Inglewood fault system located approximately six miles west of the City and the
San Andreas fault system located approximately 50 miles east of the city. The City of San
Juan Capistrano is not identified as an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone (formerly
referred to as "Special Studies Zones"). Furthermore the County of Orange General Plan
' indicates that the project site is not within an Alquist Priolo Special Study Zone. The project
would not expose people or structures to earthquake-related impacts,and so,would result in
no impacts.
' ii) Strong seismic ground shaking? No Impact. As mentioned before,southern California is a
seismically active region likely to experience, on average,one earthquake of Magnitude 7.0,
and ten (10)earthquakes of Magnitude 6.0 over a period of 10 years.
' Active faults are faults that are considered likely to undergo renewed movement within a
period of concern to humans. These include faults that are currently slipping, those that
' display earthquake activity, and those that have historical surface rupture. The California
Geological Survey(CGS)defines active faults as those that have had surface displacement
within Holocene times(about the last 11,000 years). Such displacement can be recognized
' by the existence of sharp cliffs in young alluvium, unweathered terraces, and offset modern
stream courses. Potentially active faults are those believed to have generated earthquakes
during the Quaternary period, but prior to Holocene times.
' There are several active and potentially active fault zones that could affect the project site.
The faults within these zones include the Newport-Inglewood,Whittier, San Andreas, San
Jacinto, Malibu-Coast-Raymond, Palos Verdes, San Gabriel, 'and Sierra Madre-Santa
Susana-Cucamonga faults. Implementation of the proposed project would be in
conformance with standard construction and design parameters set forth in the Uniform
Building Code (UBC), and the City's Seismic Hazard Mitigation Ordinance. Conformance
with standard engineering practices and design criteria would reduce the effects of seismic
groundshaking to less than significant levels.
iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? No Impact. Liquefaction is the loss
of strength of cohesionless soils when the pore water pressure in the soil becomes equal to
the confining pressure. Liquefaction generally occurs as a"quicksand"type of ground failure
caused by strong groundshaking. The primary factors influencing liquefaction potential
include groundwater, soil type, relative density of the sandy soils, confining pressure, and
the intensity and duration of groundshaking. According to the City of San Juan Capistrano
General Plan, dated December 14, 1999, the project site has a potentially high possibility for
liquefaction to occur.Additionally, geotechnical borings were taken by Lawson&Associates
Geotechnical Consulting, Inc. to evaluate the conditions at the project site. The borings
indicated that the materials within the project site were predominantly sands and clayey
sands with gravels, with lesser amounts of cobbles. Groundwater beneath the project site
was encountered at 20 feet below ground surface and the flow rate was determined to be
upwards of 60 gallons per minute. The stability of the boreholes was low and prone to

REPLACEMENT AT VIA ESTENAGA
collapse/caving. This was assumed to be due to the combination of sand and groundwater.
Conformance with standard construction and design parameters set forth in the UBC and
the City's Seismic Hazard Mitigation Ordinance would eliminate any potential impacts
associated with liquefaction.
iv) Landslides?No Impact. Landslides are mass movements of the ground that include rock
falls, relatively shallow slumping and sliding of soil, and deeper rotational or transitional
movement of soil or rock. Landsliding is considered likely in many areas of the City due to
the number of unstable hillside slopes. However, according to the City of San Juan
Capistrano General Plan, the project site is not located within a known or highly suspected
landslide area.2
b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? Less Than Significant Impact. Due to
the nature of the proposed project and the utilization of directional drilling, the proposed project
would not result in substantial soil erosion or loss of topsoil. Additionally,the proposed 12-inch
replacement waterline will be located 30 feet below the existing channel ground surface _
(approximately 112 feet above msl). Therefore after the replacement waterline is installed it will
be 82 ft above msl.An earlier 100-yearflood scour analysis completed for the 1995 construction
plans (sheet 3 of 5)for the San Juan Creek Crossing indicated an elevation equal to 89 feet
above msl. Based on this analysis, in the event of a 100-year flood, the proposed 12-inch
replacement waterline should still be 7 feet below the post 100-year flood scoured channel
surface. The construction of the pipe will not result in substantial soil erosion or loss of topsoil,
nor will the pipe be exposed due to erosion and sediment transport within the creek. -
c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result
of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, -
liquefaction or collapse? Less Than Significant Impact. According to the Summary of
Geotechnical Borings, a soil bore drilled adjacent to the site on July 7, 2005 was observed to
collapse/cave in when the casing pipe was removed. The proposed project, however, is not
likely to result in collapse or caving of a drilled hole due to the use of bentonite drilling fluid,
which will be used to support the drilling hole. In cases where frac-outs (mud rupturing to the
surface due in part to excessive drilling pressure), tunnel collapse, or a spill is a high risk, _
damage along the drilled tunnel is easily controlled with: 1)accurate geotechnical assessment
practices; 2) proper drill planning and execution by the Contractor, 3) monitoring by the
Contractor; 4) a Contingency Plan submitted by the Contractor; and 5) retaining mitigation
equipment on-site including long hoses to reduce vegetation and waterway disturbance.
Additionally, adherence to standard engineering practices would result in less than significant
impacts related to subsidence of the land. Refer to Response 4.6a, above.
d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1997),
creating substantial risks to life or property? No Impact. The dominant soil association in the
project area is the Sorrento-Mocho soil association. Characteristics of the association are nearly
level to moderately sloping,well drained sandy loams, loams,or clay foams on alluvial fans and
flood plains. According to the Orange County and Western Part of Riverside County Soil
Survey, dated September 1978, this soil association has a low to moderate shrink-swell _
potential. Adherence to standard engineering practices contained within the most recent UBC
will reduce any potential impacts to less than significant levels. Due to the project's location and
nature, it would result in no substantial risk impact to life or property.
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater
disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater?No Impact.

b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable
upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the
environment? Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project does not have the
potential to result in a release of hazardous materials into the environment. The existing
pipeline consists of a ductile iron pipeline used to convey water. No hazardous materials are
associated with the existing pipeline. Additionally, the proposed pipeline will be constructed of
plastic and also used to convey water. Therefore hazardous materials are not anticipated to be
located within the project site. However, the equipment used for the directional drilling activities
could result in the possibility of accidental release of hazardous substances such as spilling of
petroleum-based fuels. The level of risk associated with the accidental release of these
substances is not considered significant due to the small volume and low concentration of
petroleum-based fuels to be used during construction. The contractor will be required to use
standard construction controls and safety procedures, which would avoid and minimize the
potential for accidental release of such substances into the environment. Standard construction
practices would be observed such that any materials released are appropriately contained and
remediated as required by local, state, and federal law. -
c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or
waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? No Impact. No existing or _
proposed school facilities are located within a one-quarter mile radius of the project site. The
nearest existing school,Ambeuhl Elementary, is located 0.47 miles to the west-southwest of the
project area.The nearest proposed school, San Juan Senior high School,is under construction
on a site about 0.64 miles to the southeast. Thus, impacts to existing or proposed schools
would not occur.
d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to
Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the
public or the environment? No Impact. According to an Environmental Data Resources Radius
Map Report, the proposed project site is not included on a list of sites containing hazardous —
materials and would not result in a significant hazard to the public or to the environment.
Additionally, the surrounding properties listed for containing hazardous materials have low
potential to impact the project site since no contamination was reported. Consequently, the
project would have no impact.
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been
adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a
safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? No Impact. The proposed
project site is not located within an airport land use plan or within two miles of a public airport
and would not result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area. -
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for
people residing or working in the project area? No Impact. The proposed project site is not —
located within the vicinity of a private airstrip and would not result in a safety hazard for people
residing or working in the project area.
g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or
emergency evacuation plan? No Impact. Construction activities associated with the proposed
project would not occur within a public roadway. Implementation of the proposed project would _
not have an impact on emergency response plans or emergency evacuation plans as no street
closures or detour routes would be necessary during the construction phase. No revisions to
adopted emergency plans would be would be required as a result of the proposed project.
Therefore, no impacts are anticipated as a result of project implementation. -

h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland tires,
including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed
with wiidlands? No Impact. The project would not expose people or structures to a significant
risk of wildland fires, as the project involves the replacement of a pipeline. In addition, the
project area is not classified by Orange County Fire Authority(OCFA)as a wildland fire hazard
' area. Standard construction measures would minimize the risk of brush fires due to the
operation of construction equipment. Therefore, the project would have no Impact.

a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? Less Than Significant
Impact with Mitfaadon. The proposed project is anticipated to result in discharges to San Juan
Creek. The cutting and removal of the existing pipeline would result in the discharge of
approximately 2,600 gallons of potable water. hHowever,sodium sulfate tablets will be used to _
dechiorinate the water in the existing pipeline prior to removal. The dechlorination process will
occur by creating a small pit(3'x 3')under the two locations where the existing line will be cut.
This pit will be lined with a filter fabric to catch the water and any sediment in the line. The
sodium sulfate tablets will be placed in the filter fabric lined pit to insure that no chlorine enters
the stream The pipeline will be tapped and a hose attachment will be installed at the low point
of the pipeline near the cut locations. The hose will then be turned on and the line drained so
that a trickle of water deposits in the lined/tableted pit. The hand crew will ensure that the pit -
would not overflow.
Additionally, compliance with the statewide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System -
(NPDES) General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity
would prevent stormwater pollution from impacting waters of the U.S.in the vicinity of the project
site. Implementation of the mitigation measures identified below would reduce potential water _
quality impacts to less than significant levels. However, to ensure that water quality is not
impacted, appropriate BMPs (i.e., silt fencing) will be utilized during drilling activities.
Additionally,with implementation of the following mitigation measure,impacts would be reduced
to less than significant.
Mitigation Measures
WQ.1 Prior to commencement of removal activities,a Waste Discharge Requirement(WDR)or
a waiver thereof, may be required from the San Diego RWQCB for the discharge of
potable water to San Juan Creek. If WDRs are prescribed, the City of San Juan -
Capistrano shall incorporate mitigation measures identified in the WDR to reduce
potential significant impacts to water quality and potential public nuisance that are due to
the treatment or discharge of waste. _
b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge
such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater
table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which
would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)?
Less Than Significant Impact. The project proposes to replace an existing water pipeline.
The project would not have the potential to substantially deplete groundwater supplies or -
interfere with groundwater recharge. Potential dewatering activities associated with construction
would be short-term in nature, and would not substantially affect the groundwater table. The
project would not have the capacity to increase the amount of water consumed regionally -
through increased withdrawals from groundwater sources. Implementation of the proposed

anticipated to occur.
c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the
alteration of the course of stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion
orsiltation on-oroff-site? Less Than SignificantImpact. Replacement of the existing pipeline
with a 12 inch pipeline would not result in alteration to the existing drainage pattern of the
surrounding area. Additionally,the proposed project would not result in erosion or siltation. No
alterations to absorption rates will occur since no impermeable surfaces are proposed to be
introduced by the proposed project. No significant changes in drainage patterns associated with
the proposed project are anticipated to occur.
d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the
alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of
surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on-or off-site? Less Than Significant
' Impact. Refer to Response 4.8(c), above.
e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned
stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff?Less
Than Significant Impact. Construction of proposed improvements is not anticipated to result in
minor changes in the amount of runoff since the project will not alter the amount of impermeable
surface area within the project site. Therefore,the proposed project would not have the capacity
to create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned
stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of water.
f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? Less Than Significant Impact. Discharges
from the proposed project would consist of non-point and point source pollution, typical of
construction projects. The non-point source pollution is anticipated to consist of hazardous
materials associated with construction equipment and minor erosion. However,the construction
equipment will be staged outside of the creek, and standard Best Management Practices(i.e.,
sandbags,silt fences,etc.)shall be implemented during project activities. Therefore impacts to
1water quality are not anticipated.
g) Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard
Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map?No Impact. The
1 proposed project does not include the construction of housing. Therefore, no flood related
impacts would occur.
h) Place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures which would impede or redirect flood
flows?No Impact. No structures are proposed as part of the project. Refer to Response 4.8c
and Response 4.8d, above, for additional discussion.
' i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding,
including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? Less Than Significant Impact.
' As previously stated, the project does not propose any new housing or building structures within
the 1 00-year flood plain. However,as previously mentioned above, under Section 4.6, Geology
and Soils)the project area could be subject to ground shaking from various earthquakes due to
its proximity to the various fault zones. Ground shaking during a major earthquake on any of the
regionally active or potentially active faults may cause damage to the proposed pipeline,
resulting in temporary loss of fire flow pressure, and/or nominal downstream flooding.
Adherence with the current UBC design criteria relative to seismic events would reduce impacts
to less than significant levels.

of construction noise. Noise generated by construction and demolition equipment, including
trucks, drill rigs and other equipment, may temporarily impact nearby sensitive receptors. The
closest sensitive receptors are residential uses located approximately 600 feet to the south of —
the project site. According to the City's General Plan, these residential uses are designated as
Medium High Density Residential(3.5 to 8 d.u./acre). The primary source of construction noise
would occur from the HDD activities. Sensitive uses in the area are the residences located _
along San Juan Creek Road,located approximately 200 feet south of the southern drilling pit. It
is anticipated that the drilling would be done from the north side to the south side. This would
cause a majority of the noise generating activities to occur on the north-drilling pit (i.e.,
construction mobilization, rigging, etc.)which is approximately 650 feet north of the residences
along San Juan Creek Road. Table 4.11-1,WORST CASE CONSTRUCTION NOISE LEVELS,

1 -The inverse square law for the change in noise between any two distances due to spherical spreading can be
calculated as follows: dB2=dB1 +20 Logl0(D1/D2). For this equation,dB1 is the noise level at distance D1,
and dB2 is the noise level at distance D2.
As illustrated in Table 4.11-1, below, the worst-case peak construction noise levels that would
be perceived during combined construction activities at the north and south pits would be 80.2 —
d BA. Pursuant to the City's Construction Noise Ordinance, construction activities will be limited
to daytime hours for the duration of construction. In addition,all vehicles and equipment will use
available noise suppression devices and be equipped with mufflers during construction _
activities. Due to the restricted hours, equipment restrictions, and relatively short period of
construction, noise resulting from construction and demolition related activities is not considered
a significant impact.
Mitigation Measures:
N.1 Construction activity associated with the project shall be restricted to the hours of 7:00 —
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, and from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on
Saturday. Construction is prohibited at any time on Sunday or a Federal holiday.Prior to
beginning construction, the site supervisor shall brief all equipment operators on the —
construction hour restrictions.
N.2 All construction and drilling equipment shall use available noise suppression devices and
properly maintained mufflers. All internal combustion engines used at the project site
shall be equipped with the type of muffler recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. In
addition, all equipment shall be maintained in good mechanical condition so as to _
minimize noise created by faulty or poorly maintained engine, drive-train and other
components.

equipment in the vicinity of residential land uses.
NA The equipment staging area shall be situated so as to provide the greatest distance
separation between construction-related noise sources and noise-sensitive receptors
nearest the project site during all project construction.
N.5 Notification shall be given to residences within three-hundred (300) feet of planned
construction activities at least fourteen (14) and not more than thirty(30) days prior to
I commencement of construction activity, and shall include a brief description of the
project, the overall duration of the various construction stages, noise abatement
measures that will taken, and the name and phone number of the construction site
supervisor or his designee to report any violation of a noise or mitigation standard.
b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise
' levels? Less Than Significant Impact. The amounts of construction required for the pipeline
replacement is not anticipated to generate excessive groundborne vibrations or noise levels.
Additionally, this Project is not anticipated to include pile-driving activities; therefore, ground
bome vibration is not expected to occur. Due to the temporary nature of construction activities,
impacts in this regard are considered to be less than significant. Also, refer to discussion 4.11a,
above.
c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels
existing without the project? No Impact. Due to the nature and scope of the proposed project a
permanent increase in the ambient noise level in the project vicinity would not occur.
' d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above
levels existing without the project? Less Than Significant With Mitigation. As noted above,
the implementation of the proposed project may result in short-term increased noise levels within
the project vicinity due to construction activities. This would be a temporary condition, which
would Cease upon project completion and is subject to the City's noise mitigation guidelines.
However, over the short-term, the project would create a substantial, temporary increase in
ambient noise resulting from construction and drilling equipment.
Mitigation Measures: Refer to mitigation measure N.1 through N.5, above.
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been
adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose
people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? No Impact. As
previously stated,the proposed project is not located within two miles of a public airport or public
use airport. The nearest airport, John Wayne-Santa Ana, is located about 20 miles northwest
and given the project's distance from that airport, no impacts are anticipated.
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip,would the project expose people residing or
1 working in the project area to excessive noise levels?No Impact. The proposed project site is
not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip and would not expose people residing or
working in the project area to excessive noise levels.

project area. This is considered a positive project impact. No adverse impacts are
anticipated in this regard.
2) Police protection? No Impact. There are no significant impacts related to police protection
or service anticipated with implementation of the proposed project.
3) Schools?No Impact. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in the need
for the construction of additional school facilities. Therefore, no impacts will occur in this
regard.
4) Parks? Less Than Significant Impact. Implementation of the proposed project will not
permanently affect any existing park facilities or increase the demand for additional
recreational facilities. The entrance of the directional drilling will occur within the adjacent
Cook Cordova Park. The activities within the park will occur during construction activities,
will be short term, and will cease upon project completion. Therefore, less than significant
impacts to parks are anticipated as a result of this project.

trips from construction crews arriving at and leaving the site would occur as a result of —
construction activities for the proposed project.Additionally,as the pipe approaches the exit pit it
will extend into San Juan Creek Road before being pulled back through the pilot hole. This will
require closure of traffic on the southbound lanes of San Juan Creek Road. These anticipated
impacts to traffic would be minor and cease upon completion of project construction however,a
detailed Traffic Management Plan(TMP)will be prepared by a registered Civil Engineer prior to
construction of the proposed project. The TMP will delineate all lane closures, provisions to _

tmaintain access to adjacent residential properties, and provisions for pedestrian and bicycle
transportation, and permitted hours of construction activity. With implementation of the TMP,
less the significant impacts are anticipated.
Mitigation Measures:
TRF 1. A Traffic Management Plan(TMP)shall be prepared to address short-term mitigation
for roadways and shall be subject to City approval prior to demolition or construction
of any facilities. This plan shall consist of prior notices, adequate sign-postings,
detours, phased construction and temporary driveways where necessary. The Plan
shall specify implementation timing of each plan element(prior notices, sign-postings,
detours, etc.) as determined appropriate by the Water District Engineer. Adequate
' access to and from residential areas shall be provided at all times. Proper detours and
warning signs shall be established to ensure public safety. The TMP shall be devised
so that construction activities shall not interfere with any emergency response of
evacuation plans. Construction activities shall proceed in a timely manner in an effort
to reduce impacts.
b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level ofservice standard established by the county
congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? No Impact. Refer to
Response 4.15a, above. Furthermore,the minor increase in traffic would not measurably alter
the intersection capacity utilization (ICU) or Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) values for
intersections in the project vicinity. Consequently, the project would have no impact.
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels ora change
in location that results in substantial safety risks? No Impact. Due to the nature and scope of
the proposed project, project implementation would not have the capacity to result in a change
in air traffic patterns.
' d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous
intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? No Impact. No public roadways
are proposed as part of the project, therefore, no impacts regarding design features or
incompatible uses would occur. The proposed project would use an access point within the
Cook Cordova Park.
e) Result in inadequate emergency access? No Impact. Adequate emergency access shall be
provided during both short-term construction and long-term operation of the proposed project as
required to meet Orange County Fire Authority(OCFA)standards. Impacts are not anticipated
to be significant.
f) Result in inadequate parking capacity? No Impact. Due to the location and nature of the
proposed project, no impacts in regards to parking would occur. An adequate staging area will
be provided for short-term construction equipment. No impacts are anticipated in this regard.
g) Conflict with adopted policies,plans,or programs supporting alternative transportation(e.g., bus
turnouts, bicycle racks)? No Impact. Project implementation would not conflict with adopted
policies, plans,or programs supporting altemative transportation. Impacts are not anticipated in
this regard.

nature to exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control
Board (RWQCB). Therefore, no significant impacts would occur.
b) Require or result in the construction of new wateror wastewater treatment facilities or expansion
of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects?
No Impact. Due to the nature and scope of the proposed project, project implementation would
not require or result in the construction of wastewater treatment facilities (refer to Response —
4.16a, above). Implementation of the proposed project consists of the replacement of water
distribution facilities. Implementation of recommended mitigation measures established bythis
Initial Study would serve to reduce potentially significant environmental impacts associated with —
the construction and operation of the water distribution and supply facilities to less than
significant levels. However, the implementation of the proposed project would not require the
construction of"other"new water facilities(e.g.additional reservoir(s), main(s),valve(s)orwater
distribution lines)that would result in impacts. Consequently,the projectwould have no impacts
of this type.

REPLACEMENT AT VIA ESTENAGA
The following findings have been made, regarding the mandatory findings of significance set forth in
Section 15065 of the CEQA Guidelines, based on the results of this environmental assessment: _
a. The proposed project would not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment,
substantially reduce the habitat of a fish orwildlife species, cause a fish orwildlife population to _
drop below self-sustaining levels,threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the
number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important
examples of the major proceeds of California history or prehistory.
b. The proposed project would not have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable ("cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are
considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other —
current projects, and the effects of probable future projects). Given the relatively small scale of
the project, project-related cumulative impacts are not considered significant.
c. The proposed project would not have environmental effects which would cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly, following implementation of
recommended mitigation measures. Construction-related activities are anticipated to have _
some minor,temporary impacts, however potential long-term impacts would be reduced to less
than significant levels through implementation of required mitigation measures.

5.0 DETERMINATION: (To be completed by the Lead Agency)
Based on this Initial Study, the City has determined that the project, as modified to include the
mitigation measures identified in the Initial Study, would not have a significant effect on the
environment and proposes to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration. Such determination can be
made only if"there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the Lead Agency"
' that such impacts may occur(section 21080(c), Public Resources Code).
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
[] I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment,and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
[x] 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 attached sheet 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 lease
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 "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(a)
have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards,and(b)have
been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation
measures that are imposed upon the proposed project.

' INTRODUCTION
' The City of San Juan Capistrano (City) is proposing to install a new 12-inch pipeline approximately
30 feet below the ground surface (bgs) of San Juan Creek using directional drilling construction
methods. RBF Consulting(RBF)is preparing the engineering studies and preliminary environmental
information for the project. RBF has retained LSA Associates, Inc. (LSA)to conduct an assessment
of biological and wetland resources associated with the proposed San Juan Creek Pipeline
Replacement project.
This biological resources report includes: (1) a description of existing conditions in the study area,
(2)results of records search and potential for occurrence of special-interest and special-status species
' in the study area, (3) an assessment of potential jurisdictional waters and wetlands within the study
area, and(4)an analysis of potential project impacts to biological resources and a discussion of
mitigation that may be required. The information provided in this report is based on a reconnaissance-
level field survey of the site. Focused surveys for special-interest species and wetlands delineation
r were not performed for this analysis. This information is provided for review of the proposed project
as part of the engineering analysis and ultimately under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), State and federal Endangered Species Acts, and other pertinent regulations.

STUDY AREA LOCATION
r The study area crosses a portion of San Juan Creek east of La Novia Avenue,between Ortega
Highway(SR-74) and San Juan Creek Road in the City,Orange County,California.The study area
consists of two replacement pipeline tie-in locations,the replacement pipeline route, and the existing
pipeline location.The tie-in on the north side of the creek is located at the southeast comer of Cook
Cordova Park, south of the intersection of Via Estenaga at Calle Arroyo. Equipment staging and
drilling will be located at the northern tie-in location.The southern tie-in is located on the north
shoulder of San Juan Creek Road opposite Paseo Christina.The replacement pipeline route will
connect the two tie-in locations across San Juan Creek and will be installed with horizontal
directional drilling(HDD) equipment at a depth of 30 feet below the creek bed. The portion of the
' exposed existing pipeline is approximately 20 feet in length and located entirely within the active
channel of San Juan Creek near the north bank.The existing pipeline will not be removed as part of
the project. The study area is bordered by equestrian stables, Cook Cordova Park, and residential
r development to the north and a passive recreation park, San Juan Creek Road, and residential
development to the south.
r The study area is at an elevation of approximately 120 feet above mean sea level, is located in
Township 8 South, Range 7 West, in the northwest quarter of Section 5 on the San Juan Capistrano
quadrangle of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute series topographic map.

DECEMBER 3005 SAN JUAN CREEK PIPELINE REPLACEMENT
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, ORANGE COUNTY _
PROJECT DESCRIPTION —
During the heavy winter storms of January 2005,a portion of the existing eight-inch ductile iron
pipeline was exposed by erosion within the San Juan Creek channel. The pipeline is an active
domestic water service line. The City is proposing to abandon the existing pipeline and install a new
12-inch high-density polyethylene(HDPE)pipeline. The City proposes to use HDD, a trenchless
construction method,to reduce potential adverse impacts to San Juan Creek. The proposed project
entails the installation of a 12-inch HDPE pipeline across San Juan Creek at an elevation
approximately 30 feet bgs.The exposed portions of the existing pipeline will remain in place. The
proposed northern tie-in location is located within the Cook Cordova Park. All access, drilling
operations, and equipment staging on the northern side of the creek will occur within the Park. The —
proposed southern tie-in is located within a bike path adjacent to San Juan Creek Road. All access
and equipment staging on the south side of the creek will occur within the roadway, outside of the
San Juan Creek channel. _
METHODS
Records Search
A records search was conducted by LSA Associates, Inc. (LSA)to assist in determining the existence _
or potential occurrence of special-interest and special-status plant and animal species in the study area
and vicinity. Current database records for the San Juan Capistrano USGS 7.5-minute series
quadrangle were examined using the California Department of Fish and Game's (CDFG)RareFind 3
and the California Native Plant Society's (CNPS)Electronic Inventory of Rare and Endangered
Vascular Plants of California(6th ed., electronic version 1.5.2).
For the purpose of this report, special-status species are those species that are federally and/or State —
listed as endangered or threatened,proposed for listing, candidate, or fully protected species; special-
interest species are those listed as species of concern by the California Department of Fish and Game
or those found on CNPS watch lists. LSA biologists reviewed the results of the records search, -.
augmented or deleted the information as appropriate for the study area, and evaluated the potential for
occurrence of each species in the study area. A summary of special-interest and special-status plant
species identified in the records search and their potential for occurrence in the study area are _
presented in Appendix A.
Field Survey
A reconnaissance-level field survey was conducted by LSA biologists Nicole Quinlan and Ingri
Baroni on October 3, 2005,to evaluate the area for the presence of potentially suitable habitat for _.
special-interest and special-status species identified in the literature review and to assess the area for
the potential presence of jurisdictional waters and wetlands. The entire study area was surveyed on
foot. LSA biologists recorded the overall character of the site,plant and animal species observed, and _
potential jurisdictional/wetland areas.

the creek channel and is dominated by large,mature,Goodding's willow (Salix gooddingii),arroyo
willow (Salix lasiolepis), and mulefat (Baccharis salicifolia). Other less prevalent species occurring
in this vegetation community include sandbar willow (Salix exigua),broad-leaved cat-tail (Typha
latifolia), white water-cress(Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum),peppergrass(Lepidium sp.),poison oak
(Toxicodendron diversilobum), and coast live oak(Quercus agrifolia var. agrifolia).Ruderal (exotic
and/or invasive) species observed within this habitat include arundo (Arundo donax), shortpod
' mustard (Hirschfeldia incana), and pampas grass(Cortaderia selloana). The quality of the riparian
forest habitat is considered good, and cover by exotic and/or invasive species is not dominant.
Mulefat scrub habitat is present along the southern portion of the creek adjacent to San Juan Creek
Road and is dominated by mulefat less than 15 feet in height. Other less prevalent species occurring
within the mulefat scrub habitat include California sagebrush (Artemisia californica),poison oak,
coastal prickly pear(Opuntia littoralis), and elderberry(Sambucus mexicana). The channel bottom is
' primarily sandy and appears dynamic, as evidenced by large sand bars within the channel. Flowing
water was observed within a low-flow channel near the north bank of the creek, in the area of the
proposed pipe removal. Disturbed areas within the study area consists of paths,roads, and trails for
' equestrian and recreational use that border and traverse the creek channel. Disturbed areas are
primarily unvegetated with scattered occurrences of Russian-thistle (Salsola tragus) and shortpod
mustard.The ornamental landscaping within the study area is located within the park and consists
primarily of turf and mature trees.Trees observed within the park include eucalyptus(Eucalyptus
sp.), California sycamore (Platanus racemosa),white alder(Alnus rhombifolia), and Lombardy
poplar(Populus nigra 'Italica). A complete list of plant species observed is presented in
Appendix B.
' The records search identified a total of eight special-interest and one special-status plant species as
potentially present in the study area. The special-status species identified in the records search is
thread-leaved brodiaea (Brodiaea filifolia), which is not expected to occur within the study area due
to lack of vernal pools, grasslands, and mesic meadows. Of the eight special-interest plant species
identified in the records search,only the southern tarplant (Centromadia parryi ssp. australis)has a
' reasonable probability of being present in the study area. While there is suitable habitat on site in the
disturbed areas adjacent to the creek,this species was not observed during the reconnaissance field
survey of the area conducted on October 3, 2005. This species would have been detected if present
because local populations of this species were known to be in flower during the time of the survey.
No special-interest or special-status plant species were observed within the study area during the field
surveys, and none are expected to occur due to lack of suitable habitat. Therefore,project impacts to
special-interest and special-status plant species are considered less than significant, and no mitigation
' is required. A summary of special-interest and special-status plant species identified in the records
search and their potential for occurrence in the study area are presented in Appendix A.
' Southern riparian forest and mulefat scrub are considered sensitive natural communities according to
the California Department of Fish and Game(CDFG). RBF expects that the HDD construction
method chosen for this project will completely avoid surface impacts within the San Juan Creek
' channel and banks. The only vegetation that will be removed as part of the project is the turf in the

park,which is not a sensitive biological resource. Therefore,because no riparian vegetation will be
removed as part of the project, impacts to sensitive natural communities are considered less than
significant, and no mitigation is required.
Wildlife
Several wildlife species commonly associated with the habitat types identified within the study area
were observed during the field reconnaissance surveys conducted on October 3, 2005. Overall, 1 fish,
1 reptile, 18 bird, and 6 mammal species were observed or otherwise detected in the study area.A
complete list of vertebrate and butterfly species observed or detected is provided in Appendix C.
The records search identified nine special-interest and five special-status animal species potentially
present in the study area. The five species currently listed as federal or State threatened or endangered
include tidewater goby (Eucyclogobius newberryi), arroyo toad (Bufo californicus), coastal California
gnatcatcher(Polioptila californica californica), least Bell's vireo (LBV) (Vireo bellii pusillus) and
southwestern willow flycatcher(SWWF) (Empidonax traillii extimus).The tidewater goby is not
expected to occur in the study area due to the lack of brackish lagoons and because the area is not
within the known range of the species.The arroyo toad has a moderate probability of occuring in the
study area, as suitable breeding habitat is present in the open water areas of the creek bed and the
species is known from one mile upstream. The coastal California gnatcatcher is not likely to occur as
a nesting species because of the lack of coastal sage scrub within adjacent upland habitat. Suitable —
habitat for the LBV and SWWF is present in the willow riparian forest within the creek and adjacent
banks. LBV has a moderate probability of occurrence and SWWF has a low probability, as the
species is not known in the area. —
The HDD construction method proposed by the City would span the entire width of San Juan Creek at
an elevation approximately 30 feet bgs, and no surface impacts would occur within the creek. _
Equipment access, staging, and drilling operations would occur within Cook Cordova Park on the
north side of the creek and adjacent to San Juan Creek Road to the south.No riparian vegetation will
be removed as part of the project, and pipeline removal and drilling activities are not likely to directly
impact nesting LBV or SWWF. Excessive noise generated by construction and demolition equipment
could potentially indirectly impact nesting LBV and SWWF, if present, in the adjacent riparian
habitat. Maximum construction noise is estimated to be approximately 92 dBA at 50 feet from the
source. In addition, all vehicles and equipment will use available noise suppression devices and be —
equipped with mufflers during construction activities. This level of noise is not likely to adversely
affect the nesting activity of these riparian bird species. Therefore,because no riparian vegetation will
be removed as part of the project, and excessive noise is not expected, potential impacts to LBV and —
SWWF are considered less than significant,and no mitigation is required. Because the proposed
project will not impact riparian vegetation and will not result in surface impacts within San Juan
Creek, focused surveys for LBV and SWWF are not required. _
The arroyo toad, a federally listed endangered species and a State species of special concern, has a
low to moderate potential to occur as a breeding species within the San Juan Creek channel. This _
portion of the San Juan Creek was formerly proposed critical habitat for the arroyo toad(USFW S
2004). However,the area was excluded in the final rule for arroyo toad critical habitat on April 13,
2005 (USFWS 2005). As described above,no surface impacts to the San Juan Creek channel are
expected because of the HDD construction method to be utilized. No work will occur within the

' channel itself Therefore,because no riparian vegetation will be removed as part of the project and no
disturbance of the creekbed will occur as part of the project,potential impacts to the arroyo toad are
considered less than significant, and no mitigation is required. Because the proposed project will not
impact riparian vegetation and will not result in surface impacts within San Juan Creek, focused
surveys for the arroyo toad are not required.
Mature trees in the Cook Cordova Park could provide habitat for nesting birds.Destruction of active
nests for most avian species is prohibited by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. In addition,the
loss of an active raptor nest would be considered a violation of California Fish and Game Code
Section 3503.5.No trees within the park are expected to be removed as part of project construction,
and impacts to migratory birds are considered less than significant.No mitigation is required.
Potential Jurisdictional Areas
' A preliminary assessment of potential jurisdictional waters/wetlands was conducted during the
reconnaissance-level survey of the study area conducted on October 3, 2005, although a
comprehensive wetland delineation was not performed. United States Army Corps of Engineers
' (Corps)jurisdiction likely extends between the observed ordinary high water mark(OHWM) within
San Juan Creek, and CDFG jurisdiction likely includes all of the riparian habitat within the channel.
While a jurisdictional delineation of the project area was not performed for the study area, it is likely
that the Corps criteria for wetlands were satisfied in some areas and that Corps jurisdiction extends
out to the canopy of the riparian vegetation as well. A small concrete v-ditch and storm drain located
within Cook Cordova Park could potentially be considered jurisdictional by the regulatory agencies
' (Figure 4). According to preliminary engineering plans, it appears that the points where the proposed
water line would tie in to the existing line would be above and outside potential jurisdictional limits.
According to the project engineer,the installation of the water line will not include any work or
' discharge within the San Juan Creek channel itself and will not disturb the existing v-ditch and storm
drain. Therefore,the construction of the water line would not impact jurisdictional areas and would
not be subject to agency jurisdiction.However, any changes in the alignment, installation method, or
final design of the water line should be reviewed for consistency with this finding. Any impacts
within the channel or potential jurisdictional limits would be subject to regulations of the various
agencies (i.e., Corps, Regional Water Quality Control Board [RWQCB], CDFG,County of Orange).
' Although drilling will be 30 feet bgs, there is potential for surface breaks (also called frac-outs)
caused by the drilling under the channel.The contractor should have a contingency plan to implement
remedial measures along with necessary clean-up equipment(vacuum truck,materials,and ample
' lengths of hose)on site in case of a frac-out during construction. As a precaution,protective
measures, such as silt fences, should be implemented near the location of the proposed tie-in locations
to prevent any incidental discharge of fill, debris, or other material into San Juan Creek. A qualified
biological monitor should be present during all work immediately adjacent to riparian habitat to
ensure that no surface disturbance occurs within the creek and that no riparian vegetation is affected.
Also, since the Corps and CDFG make the final determination with regard to their respective
jurisdictions, LSA recommends obtaining concurrence of its findings from these agencies before
' beginning work in the area.Implementation of a contingency plan for remedial measures in the event
of a frac-out,protection at tie-in locations for accidental discharge of fill or debris and monitoring
during construction will reduce potential impacts to jurisdictional areas to less than significant levels.

The proposed project is not expected to impact jurisdictional areas, special-interest, or species-status
' plant and animal species and as such is not required to obtain permits from the regulatory agencies.
However, the City may chose to obtain authorization from the regulatory agencies for the proposed
work, as a precautionary measure,to identify methods to mitigate unanticipated impacts if they occur.
The City may wish to obtain the following authorizations prior to the beginning of construction: (1) a
' Corps Section 404 Permit, (2)an RWQCB Section 401 Water Quality Certification, (3)a CDFG
Section 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement, and(4)ESA authorization through Section 7
consultation between USFWS and the Corps.
SUMMARY OF PROJECT-RELATED IMPACTS AND MITIGATION
Vegetation
No special-interest or special-status plant species were observed within the study area during the field
' surveys, and none are expected to occur due to lack of suitable habitat.Therefore,project impacts to
special-interest and special-status plant species are considered less than significant, and no mitigation
is required.
' Southern riparian forest and mulefat scrub are considered sensitive natural communities, according to
the CDFG. RBF expects that the HDD construction method chosen for this project will completely
avoid surface impacts within the San Juan Creek channel and banks.No work will occur within the
channel itself.Therefore,because no riparian vegetation will be removed as part of the project,
potential impacts to sensitive natural communities are considered less than significant, and no
mitigation is required.
Wildlife
' Because the project does not involve the removal of any riparian vegetation and noise levels in the
project area are not expected to exceed 92 dBA,the project is not likely to impact LBV and SWWF,
if present within the study area during construction. Because no work is proposed within the
' creekbed,the project is not likely to impact the arroyo toad if present within the study area during
construction. Potential impacts to special-interest and special-status wildlife species are considered
less than significant, and no mitigation is required. Because no trees will be removed as part of the
' project,potential impacts to migratory birds are also considered less than significant, and no
mitigation is required.
' Potential Jurisdictional Areas
The San Juan Creek and associated riparian habitat in the study area are likely under the jurisdiction
of the Corps and CDFG. A small v-ditch and storm drain could also be considered jurisdictional by
the regulatory agencies.The HDD construction method chosen for this project will completely avoid
surface impacts within the San Juan Creek channel and banks because the points where the proposed
water line would tie in to the existing line would be above and outside potential jurisdictional limits.
According to the project engineer, the installation of the water line will not include any work or
discharge within the channel itself and will not disturb the existing v-ditch and storm drain. No work
' will occur within the channel itself, and no discharge or alteration of the channel is anticipated.

' ABSTRACT
' LSA Associates, Inc. (LSA)has conducted a cultural resource assessment of the San Juan Creek
Pipeline Replacement project located in the City of San Juan Capistrano, Orange County,California.
' The assessment includes a records search,Native American consultation, field survey, and report,all
completed in October 2005.The purpose of the assessment has been to determine the presence of
cultural resources within the proposed project area,where an exposed portion of the existing pipeline
will be removed by hand and a replacement pipeline installed with horizontal directional drilling
(HDD)equipment underneath San Juan Creek.
' The records search indicated that either the entire project area or portions of the project area had been
previously surveyed four times and that no cultural resources have been documented within the
project area. The nearest identified cultural resource is CA-ORA-243, located approximately 1,000
feet to the east.
On October 4,2005,LSA initiated Native American consultation by contacting the Native American
Heritage Commission (NAHC)and requesting a search of the Sacred Lands File.The reply from the
NAHC dated October 20, 2005 stated that the search failed to indicate the presence of cultural
resources,but recommended that eight individual s/organizations be contacted that may have
knowledge or concerns regarding the project area. LSA sent letters to each on October 25, 2005.
' Follow up phone calls were made to on December 1, 2005.The results of the Native American
consultation can be found in Appendix B.
No cultural resources were identified during the pedestrian survey of the project area.The southern
tie-in area has been completely disturbed by road construction, stream channelization, and utility
construction.The project area within the San Juan Creek channel is an active fluvial environment
where the presence of intact cultural deposits would not be expected. The northern tie-in area has
been disturbed by construction of the park and the prior pipeline construction. Only the project area
between the northern tie-in and the creek channel (approximately 50 feet)contains possibly intact
sediments with the potential to contain cultural deposits.Due to the lack of any visible cultural
material either on the ground surface or in the stream bank,the presence of any cultural deposits is
highly unlikely.Due to the lack of cultural material and the unlikelihood that unidentified cultural
deposits are present,no further archaeological work is recommended unless project plans change to
include previously unsurveyed areas.
In the event human remains are encountered, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 states that
no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made a determination of origin and
disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. The County Coroner must be
notified of the find immediately. If the remains are determined to be Native American,the County
' Coroner will notify the NAHC,which will determine and notify a Most Likely Descendant(MLD).
With the permission of the landowner or his/her authorized representative, the MLD may inspect the
site of the discovery. The MLD shall complete the inspection within 24 hours of notification by the
' NAHC. The MLD will have the opportunity to offer recommendations for the disposition of the
remains.

INTRODUCTION
RBF Consulting contracted LSA to conduct a cultural resource assessment of the San Juan Creek
Pipeline Replacement project area to determine whether cultural resources are present. This
assessment will be prepared in accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation
regulations (revised January 11,2001)for the identification of historic properties(prehistoric or
historic sites, buildings, structures,objects, or districts listed in, or eligible for listing in,the National
Register of Historic Places [National Register]),as required by 36 CFR Part 800, and the regulations —
implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (Section
106).
The current project site consists of an existing eight-inch ductile iron pipe that crosses San Juan
Creek. The project site is located at the southern terminus of Via Estenaga and crosses San Juan
Creek in the City of San Juan Capistrano,County of Orange. The elevation of the subject site is _
approximately 120 feet above mean sea level (msl). Horse stables and a park are present at the
northern edge of the project site and San Juan Creek Road,and residential uses are present to the
South. Local access to the site is provided via Via Estenaga or San Juan Creek Road.
During the heavy winter storms of January 2005,a portion of the existing eight-inch ductile iron
pipeline was exposed by erosion within the San Juan Creek channel. The pipeline is an active
domestic water service line. The City is proposing to abandon the existing pipeline and install a new —
12-inch, high-density polyethylene (HDPE)pipeline.The City proposes to use HDD, a trenchless
construction method,to reduce potential adverse impacts to San Juan Creek. The proposed project
entails the installation of a 12-inch HDPE pipeline across San Juan Creek at an elevation —
approximately 30 feet bgs. The exposed portions of the existing pipeline will remain in place. The
proposed northern tie-in location is located within Cook Cordova Park. All access, drilling operations,
and equipment staging on the northern side of the creek will occur within the park. The
proposed southern tie-in is located within a bike path adjacent to San Juan Creek Road.All access
and equipment staging on the south side of the creek will occur within the roadway, outside of the
San Juan Creek channel.
The project area consists of the two replacement pipeline tie-in locations,the replacement pipeline
route, and the existing pipeline location. The northern tie-in is located on the north side of San Juan
Creek in a park. The area has been disturbed by grading, landscaping, and installation of the existing —
pipeline. The southern tie-in is located on the shoulder of San Juan Creek Road. This area has been
disturbed by road construction, stream channelization, and installation of the existing pipeline. The
area to be traversed by the replacement pipeline is almost entirely within the active stream channel of —
San Juan Creek, with less than 50 feet located within the northern and southern banks of San Juan
Creek. The portion of the existing pipeline to be removed is located within the actively flowing
portion of the San Juan Creek channel. —
The project area is depicted on the United States Geological Survey(USGS)San Juan Capistrano

' SETTING
NATURAL
' Geology and Geomorphology
The project area is located on the western flank of the Peninsular Ranges geomorphic province.This
region is characterized by a series of northwesterly trending mountain ranges separated by
' northwesterly trending valleys and subparallel faults branching from the San Andreas Fault. These
ranges are essentially a series of fault bounded blocks that dip gently to the west and have a steep
eastern escarpment.The Peninsular Ranges extend from the tip of Baja California to the Transverse
Range north of the Los Angeles Basin.The width of the Province varies from 30 to 225 miles,with a
maximum landbound width of 65 miles(Sharp 1976).The Los Angeles Basin and the island group
(Santa Catalina, Santa Barbara,and the distinctly terraced San Clemente and San Nicolas Islands),
together with the surrounding continental shelf(cut by deep submarine fault troughs), are included in
this province (California Geologic Survey 2002). The rocks of the Peninsular Ranges are typically
composed of Jurassic-age medasedimentary and metavolcanic as well as Cretaceous-age igneous
rocks of the Southern California batholith.These older rock units are, in turn, capped by limited
' exposures of Cretaceous to recent marine and terrestrial sedimentary deposits composed of every
sedimentary rock type from clay, silt, sand, gravel, and cobbles.The primary sediment source for the
geologic formations in this province is the uplifted Southern California batholith.
' Specifically,the project is located on the northern and southern banks and the channel of San Juan
Creek,a perennial stream. San Juan Creek originates in the Santa Ana Mountains district of the
' Cleveland National Forest in the easternmost part of Orange County. The Arroyo Trabuco and
Oso Creek are two of its main tributaries. The geology of the immediate project area consists of
recent alluvial deposits containing sand, gravel, cobbles, and boulders,which have been deposited by
' San Juan Creek. Geomorphologically,the area is very active and has been subjected to periodic
flooding throughout prehistory and history.
Biology
Jaeger and Smith (1966)noted that the climate of the project area is Mediterranean semiarid steppe
' moderated by its proximity to the coast. The Mediterranean climate is characterized by mild winters,
warm springs and autumns, and hot, dry summers. Rains primarily occur in the winter and early
spring. Morning fog occurs along the coastal plain and occasionally reaches the inland valleys and
mountains.
The project area is located within the riparian woodland biotic community. Plants in this community
include white alder (Alnus rhombifolia), bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), western sycamore
(Platanus racemosa), black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa), Fremont cottonwood (Populus
frenmonti), several species of willow (Salix spp.), and mulefat (Baccharis salicifolia) and smaller
plants such as stream orchid (Epipactis gigantea), poison oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum),
' California blackberry (Rubus ursinus), horsetails (Equisetum spp). Birds include the belted kingfisher
(Megaceryle alcyon), dipper (Cinclus mexicanus), yellow-breasted chat (Icteria virens), yellow

warbler (Dendroica petechia), western flycatcher(Empidonax diicilis), song sparrow(Melospiza
melodia), and house wren (Troglodytes aedon). Mammals in this community include the raccoon _
(Procyon lotor), striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis), and dusky-footed woodrat (Neotoma fuscipes).
Reptiles and amphibians include the common garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis), western pond turtle
(Clemmys marmorata), southwestern toad (Bufo microscaphus), and the ensatina (Ensatina
eschscholizi).
Current Setting
The project area currently consists of the San Juan Creek channel,which retains a fairly intact
riparian woodland community, and the northern and southern banks of the streams,which have been
developed and transformed from their natural condition.The project area on the northern bank has
been developed into a park containing ball fields along with an equestrian trail along the levee area at
the immediate bank. Adjacent properties contain equestrian stables,with residential development in
the surrounding areas. South of the creek, San Juan Creek Road occupies the immediate bank area
along with a bike trail. Residential neighborhoods are present south of San Juan Creek Road.
CULTURAL
Prehistory _
The description of an overall regional chronology demarking the major stages of cultural evolution in
the Southern California area has been attempted many times. Two principal chronologies, Wallace
(1955; 1978) and Warren (1968),have been revised slightly(Koerper 1981; Koerper and Drover —
1983). Southern California cultural developments occur gradually, and appear to have long-term
stability; specifically applying a chronology is often difficult.
These researchers have divided regional prehistory into a four-stage chronology describing changing
artifact assemblages and evolving ecological adaptations.The principal chronology proposed by
Wallace(1955)divides the area prehistory by major cultural changes within general prehistoric time
periods. Wallace defined four cultural horizons, or periods, for Southern California: These include the
Early Period,the Millingstone Period, the Intermediate Period, and the Late Prehistoric Period these
periods are discussed in detail below.
The Early Period covers a period between approximately 10000 and approximately 5500 BC.
Artifacts and cultural activities from this time period represent a predominantly hunting culture
(Wallace 1955). Although Early Period sites in Southern California are rare, Moratto(1984:76) lists —
several traits characteristic of sites occupied during this period. This list includes location on
shorelines of ancient lakes and marshes. In coastal areas, such sites are located along stream channels
or near estuaries. Although bow and arrow do not exist,atlatl and dart are known. An array of —
specialized cobble, core, flake and blade implements are also known. In certain areas,the presence of
extremely large, often fluted bifaces marks the Early Period (Moratto 1984:81).
Early Period artifacts have seldom been identified in Orange County. Relatively early radiocarbon
dates show that two sites, ORA-195 and ORA-64 (the Irvine Site),contain Early Period components,
although ORA-64 was also occupied later in time(Erlandson 1994:219). Material from ORA-64
includes shellfish from Newport Bay, leading Drover et al. (1983)to conclude that the Early Period
component at ORA-64 was similar to some early site components in the San Diego region.

JANUARY 90 0 06 06SAN JUAN CREEK PIPELINE RCPLAC P.M F.NT
' Erlandson(1994:218-221)describes several radiocarbon dated Early Period sites, including ORA-
246, ORA-339 and ORA-386, that contain quantities of the rocky open coast inhabiting mussel
Mytilus californianus. It is possible that Early Period occupation will be identified at those sites
exhibiting Millingstone and Intermediate Period occupation when excavation and analysis procedures
' have become more advanced.
The Early Period is followed in time by the Millingstone Period. Sites from the Millingstone Period
' (post-5500 BC)typically contain groundstone artifacts such as manos, metates, and cogged stones as
well as soapstone objects. Wallace suggests that Millingstone Period cultures were generally
hunter-gatherers who spent much time collecting and processing plants. When bifaces are found on
' Millingstone Period sites,they are commonly large and associated with the use of the atlatl.
Several Millingstone Period sites have been identified in Orange County. The best known is ORA-64,
which dates to ca. 6000 BC (Erlandson 1994:219-221). Drover et al. (1983)suggest that early
Millingstone Period sites represent refuse from mobile hunters and gatherers who utilized coastal
resources during the winter and inland resources throughout the remainder of the year. By the late
portion of the Millingstone Period, faunal remains suggest relatively permanent settlements in the
' Newport Bay area. Subsistence strategies included intensive hunting of small and large land
mammals, sea mammals and birds, as well as near shore fishing and shellfish collecting. Elsewhere,
small mammals were hunted and seeds were collected, as documented by the many millingstones
' found at Millingstone Period sites throughout the Orange County area.
By 3000 BC,coastal populations began greater reliance on marine resources. The remains of near-
shore and deep sea fish appear more often as refuse in middens. Much further inland,populations
centered around pluvial lakes created by runoff from melting glaciers. In coastal areas,there was an
increased use of the mortar and pestle, which marked a technological change in the manner seeds
were processed. Instead of using just mano and metate, smaller seeds could be better contained in the
basket like mortar or hopper mortar(basket asphalted to a mortar base), and it is possible that the
mortar and pestle indicate a diversification in seed collecting strategy. The use of the mortar and
' pestle marks Wallace's Intermediate Period. Additional artifacts found predominantly within the
Intermediate Period include discoidals and crescentics(crescentically shaped flaked stone artifacts).
Orange County researchers have had difficulty identifying the Intermediate Period, since tool
' categories, even the mortar and pestle, occur in both earlier and later periods. As a result,few Orange
County sites have been placed in this Period. The few known sites often are dated by radiocarbon or
obsidian hydration methods,which have isolated the Intermediate Period materials. Intermediate
Period sites identified near Newport Bay include ORA-121 (Crownover et al. 1989), ORA-1 96/H
(Strudwick et al. 1996), and ORA-287 (Clevenger 1986). Two temporary camps, ORA-221/222 and
ORA-226, also appear to contain Intermediate Period components(Rosenthal and Padon 1986;
Mason et al. 1987).
The Late Prehistoric Period begins approximately AD 500 (Bean and Smith 1978). During this
' period, artifact changes and new cultural practices occur. Smaller projectile points,representing bow
and arrow hunting, appear on Late Period sites.This period is also marked by steatite effigies and by
cremation as an interment practice. These artifacts and practices have been linked to a proposed
' Shoshonean (Takic) immigration from the Great Basin that ended at the coast. By AD 1000, smoking
pipes and ceramic pottery occur,although ceramic smoking pipes may occur somewhat earlier,within
P:\RBF541\Cultuml\Assessment.doc ,01/16/06» 7
19A ASSOCIATES. INC. CULTURAL RESOURCE AYSM.SSMENT
JANIZARY 2006 SAN JUAN CREEK PIPELINE RtPLACCMENT
the later portion of the Intermediate Period. Dating of sites to the Late Period also depends on the
occurrence of other items such as Salton Sea(Obsidian Buttes)obsidian. Sites within the Orange _
County region occasionally contain the vitreous lithic (glassy stone)called Grimes Canyon fused
shale,which originates from Ventura County(Demcak 1981; Hall 1988).
Ethnography
The project area is within territory ethnographically occupied by the Juanefio,with the Gabrielino _
located to the north and the Luiseno to the south. The Juanefio are considered to be a linguistically
related subgroup of the Luiseno and occupy the area near San Juan Capistrano. What is known about
the,Juanefio was recorded principally during the initial European land expeditions through the _
Southern California area.The reason for this is that the swift decline in native populations made it
difficult even for early European explorers and inhabitants to observe endemic Southern California
peoples in a natural state.This decline in native population was brought about by the inability of
Native Americans to resist European diseases introduced through initial contact and the establishment
of the mission system. This section describes previously published accounts of Juanefio territory,
Both Sparkman (1908:188-189)and Bean and Shipek(1978:550-551)state that the Luiseno
occupied the area from a point just north of San Juan Capistrano southward to the mouth of Agua
Hedionda in what is now Carlsbad. Sparkman (1908:189) states that due to language differences,the
group near San Juan Capistrano was not considered Luiseno by some. The subsuming of Juaneno by —
Luiseho is illustrated by the inclusion of a discussion of Juanefio within a chapter on Luiseno(Bean
and Shipek 1978). Rather than give an exact description of Luisefio territory, Kroeber(1925:648-
649) states that the northern and northwestern neighbors of the Luisefio are the Gabrielino and _
Juanefio.
Kroeber(1925:636)states that the Juaneno were wedged in between the Gabrielino and Luisefio, and
Juanefio territory ran from Aliso Creek on the north to a point between San Onofre and Las Pulgas on
the coast. Rather than having a distinct language,Juaneno speech was said to be a dialect of Luisefio
(Kroeber 1925:636). White(1963:104) states that the dialectical differences between the Juaneno and
Luisefio "did not prevent mutual misunderstanding . . ." White(1063:104)continues that although
local variations in culture between Juanefio and Luisefio may have existed, it was of a village level
rather than at a tribe level, suggesting only minor differences between the two groups. Sparkman (19
08)and White(1963)argue that the Juanefio are really a subgroup of the greater Luiseno tribe. —
O'Neil (1988:107, 111)also makes reference to the Juanefio being a coastal branch of the Luisefio.
Merriam(1968)extends Juanefio territory northward to the Santa Ana River and Newport Bay,
although this is quite a distance north when compared with previous territory descriptions. These —
previous descriptions suggest major similarities between the Luiseno and Juaneno,perhaps as an
initial stage of cultural evolution in the formation of a new language and tribal group. In any event,
major similarities existed between the Luisefio and Juaneno groups, much less than the differences in _
language and custom between the Luisefio and Gabrielino.
The name "Gabrielino"describes those native groups living in what is now the Los Angeles and
Orange County areas and was given due to the affiliation of these groups with Mission San Gabriel
Arcangel. Linguistically,the Gabrielino as well as the Luisefio and Juaneno is a Cupan language in
the Takic family, which is part of the Uto-Aztecan (formerly Shoshonean) linguistic stock that once
extended across the Great Basin region of Utah,Nevada, and California (Bean and Shipek 1978:550;
Bean and Smith 1978:538; McCawley 1996:2-3). In California,the northernmost members of this

stock are the Mono,while the Chemehuevi are the easternmost,the Cahuilla are the southernmost,
and the Luisefio were the southwesternmost California members(Kroeber 1925). These languages
have elsewhere been referred to as Southern California Shoshonean.
The name Luiseno has been applied to those native people living within the "ecclesiastical
jurisdiction of Mission San Luis Rey . . . [who shared] an ancestral relationship which is evident in
their cosmogony,and oral tradition,common language,and reciprocal relationship in ceremonies"
(Oxendine 1983:8). The term Juaneno describes those native people who were missionized into
' Mission San Juan Capistrano and who inhabited the northernmost portion of Camp Pendleton. Much
of the existing ethnohistoric information about the Juaneno is derived from accounts about the
Luiseno(Kroeber 1925; White 1963).
' The Gabrielino, Luiseno, and Juaneno were hunters and gatherers who used both inland and coastal
food resources. They hunted and collected seasonally available food resources and led a
semisedentary lifestyle,often living in permanent communities along watercourses and near coastal
' estuaries. Commonly chosen habitation sites included rivers, streams, sheltered coastal bays and
estuaries, and the transition zone marking the interface between prairies and foothills(McCawley
1996). The presence of water, a stable food supply, and some measure of protection from flooding
' were the most important factors relating to the location of habitation sites. Gabrielino and Luisefio
communities located in the interior regions maintained permanent geographical territories or use areas
that averaged 30 square miles, although it is likely that coastal settlements,where food resources may
' have been more plentiful and more easily available throughout the entire year, occupied less acreage
(White 1963:117, 119;Oxendine 1983:44).
' In addition to permanent settlements, native groups occupied temporary campsites used seasonally for
hunting, fishing, and gathering plant foods and shellfish (White 1963:120-124; McCawley 1996:25).
Rabbit and deer were the most commonly hunted animals,while acorns, buckwheat, chia, berries,and
fruits were some of the more commonly collected plant foods.Acorns were the staple food of most
' indigenous Californians(Kroeber 1925:84)and were the most characteristic feature of the domestic
economy of native California(Gifford 1936:87). Fully 25-50 percent of inland Luiseno food is
thought to have been acorns (White 1963:116, 121). Among the inland Luisefio, land use was
' patterned with only a small quantity of total territory in disuse(White 1963:122). The Gabrielino
established seasonal camps along the coast and near estuaries and bays, such as Newport Bay, in
order to fish, gather shellfish, and hunt waterfowl (White 1963:122; Hudson 1971). The economy of
' coastal groups is thought to have focused on marine rather than land resources(White 1963:119).
Boscana(1978:65) describes the permanence of Juaneno villages in the following passage: ". . . in the
winter they resided in one place, and in summer another.This was general among them, excepting in
the case of those tribes located on the sea-coast who seldom moved because their maintenance was
derived from the sea."This suggests that inland villages were seasonal,while coastal villages may
' have been occupied permanently, since their food source was more dependable.
Native culture in coastal Southern California was characterized by an active and elaborate system of
rituals and ceremonies. Rituals included individual rites of passage, village rites, seasonal ceremonies,
' and participation in the widespread Chinigchinich cult(variant spellings, Kroeber 1925; McCawley
1996). The cult of the culture hero Chinigchinich was observed and recorded by Franciscan
missionary Father Ger6nimo Boscana during his residences at Missions San Luis Rey(1811-1814)
and San Juan Capistrano(1814-1826)and describes the rich and complex cosmology and rituals
practiced at the time(Boscana 1978; Harrington 1934).

History
Spanish Mission Period (1769-1821).The Historic Period In Southern California is generally
accepted to commence with the establishment of Mission San Diego De Alcala, first and
southernmost of the Alta California Missions, on July 16, 1769(Lowman 1993:2, 5). The seventh
mission founded in Alta California was Mission San Juan Capistrano,established on November 1, —
1776, in Juaneiio territory(Lowman 1993:9). In 1778,Mission San Juan Capistrano was moved to its
present location in order to take advantage of a more dependable water supply. Engelhardt(1998)
disputes that there ever was an old mission site,based on Font's description of the area during Anza's —
trek to San Diego in 1776(see Font 1913:43-45 for a description of the journey). While the location
of the old mission is unknown, its name is not. The lands occupied by the old mission have been
anglicized as Mission Viejo(Sleeper 1988).The San Juan Capistrano mission land holding was _
extensive in order to support itself and its Indian converts. The mission lands stretched 13-14 leagues
north to south and 3-4 leagues east to west. The mission ranchos included Rancho Santa Ana,Rancho
San Joaquin,Rancho Mission Viejo,Rancho Trabuco, and Rancho San Mateo(Bancroft 1966;
Englehardt 1998). The Rancho San Mateo is specifically named by the mission fathers due to
encroachment on their lands by the Mission San Luis Rey to the south. Englehardt(1998:88)quotes a
report from the mission fathers that mentions the San Mateo rancho as being about three leagues
southeast of San Juan Capistrano. However, the Mission San Luis Rey placed their own mission's
Rancho San Ondfrio within one-half league of San Mateo, apparently on lands of San Juan
Capistrano.The mission's Rancho San Mateo should not be confused with a later Mexican grant in
northern California with the same name. The mission used the land for crops and cattle.This land was
to be turned over to the Indians as a pueblo and was thus held in trust by the Church for the benefit of
the natives (Robinson 1979). The missions recruited neophytes,native converts, to settle on land
close to the mission. Local native villages, rancherias,were thus incorporated into the mission —
system.
The Franciscans' goal was to convert the Native Americans to Christianity and incorporate them into —
Spanish society. The local natives could learn metallurgy, plant and animal domestication,and
European building construction methods. Europeans learned how and where indigenous people lived
and gathered information about native life as well as ceremonial and ritual practices. Occasionally,
this information was recorded, and it is from these early records that comes much of what we now
know concerning native life.
Ultimately, Spanish colonization resulted in the destruction of native culture and society. Two
important factors that contributed to this decline included (1)the removal of the youngest, healthiest
and most productive natives from their traditional communities and their placement into the mission
system, and (2)the introduction of highly infectious diseases, which eventually led to epidemics and —
reduced birth rates. As a result,traditional Native American communities were depopulated and the
survivors integrated into local Mexican-American communities.
Mexican Rancho Period (1821-1848). In 1821, Mexico gained independence from Spain, and in
1848, the United States formally obtained California. The period from 1821 to 1848 is here referred _
to as the Mexican Rancho Period. During this period,there was a change from the subsistence
agriculture of the Spanish Mission Period to livestock husbandry of the large ranches, or ranchos,
acquired by Mexican citizens through grants or by purchase from mission administrators. This change
was even more distinct after 1833-1834, when mission secularization occurred.

In 1833, 12 years after gaining independence from Spain,the Mexican government's Secularization
' Act changed missions into civil parishes, and those natives who had inhabited areas adjacent to a
Spanish Period mission were to obtain half of all mission possessions including land. However, this
did not occur in most instances, and the Secularization Act resulted in the transfer of large mission
tracts to politically prominent individuals rather than to local natives. Econonomic activities centered
on cattle ranching on the numerous expansive"ranchos"that had been created out of the mission
lands.
' The 1840s saw increased tension between the United States and Mexico. Finally, in 1846,war was
declared between these two countries. By 1847,the United States had established control of
California. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo formally ended hostilities.
American Period (1848—Present). Following the end of hostilities between Mexico and the United
States,the United States officially obtained California in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo on
February 2, 1848 (Cleland 1962:xiii). In 1850, California was accepted into the Union of the United
States,mainly due to the population increase created by the Gold Rush of 1849. In the years
' immediately following the United States' acquisition of California,the cattle industry reached its
greatest prosperity.Mexican Period land grants had created large pastoral estates in California,and a
high demand for beef during the Gold Rush led to a cattle boom that lasted from 1849 to 1855. In
1855,however,the demand for California beef began to decline as a result of sheep imports from
' New Mexico, cattle imports from the Mississippi and Missouri Valleys, and the development of stock
breeding farms. When the beef market collapsed, California ranchers were unprepared. Many had
borrowed heavily during the boom, mortgaging their land at interest rates as high as 10 percent per
' month. The collapse of the cattle market meant that many of these ranchos were lost through
foreclosure, while others were sold to pay debts and taxes(Cleland 1952:108-114).Nature also
conspired to force economic change. During the winter of 1861-1862, a disastrous series of floods,
' followed by two years of drought, occurred in California(Cleland 1952:130-131).
As during the previous Mission Period, cattle ranching continued to be a highly profitable enterprise,
' especially for several years following the California Gold Rush of 1849,due to the massive influx of
immigrants (Cleland 1952:102-108; Liebeck 1990:2-3).
The drought of the 1860s was a turning point in the economic history of Southern California. The era
' of the great cattle ranchos ended, and many of the landowners who survived the collapse of the cattle
industry were forced to sell their property due to the drought.
' The immediate project vicinity remained undeveloped grazing and agricultural land until recent years,
when expansion of the City of San Juan Capistrano up San Juan Canyon created housing
developments in the areas surrounding the project.

RECORDS SEARCH
On October 5, 2005, a records search was completed at the South Central Coastal Information Center
located at California State University, Fullerton;the search included a review of all recorded historic
and prehistoric archaeological sites within a one-half mile radius of the project area, as well as a
review of known cultural resource survey and excavation reports.In addition,the California State
Historic Resources Inventory(HRI),which includes the National Register of Historic Places(NRNP),
California Historical Landmarks(CHL),California Points of Historical Interest(CPHI), and various
local historic registers were examined.
The records and literature search indicated that the project area has been previously surveyed and that
no cultural resources have been documented within the project area. Within the one-half-mile records
search radius, 2 archaeological sites, 9 prehistoric isolates,3 historic buildings, and 1 historic road
(Ortega Highway)have been recorded, and 19 cultural resource investigations have been conducted. _
The nearest site, CA-ORA-243, is located approximately 1,000 feet east of the project area.Five
previous reports have examined either the entire or portions of the project area, four of which are
surveys.
The results of the records search are summarized below in Table A and the complete records search
results are included in Appendix A: Records Search Results.

' FIELD SURVEY
On October 3, 2005,LSA archaeologist Phil Fulton conducted a pedestrian survey of the project area.
The northern and southern tie-in locations,the replacement pipeline route, and the existing pipeline
' route were all intensively examined by walking the area at a maximum of 5-meter intervals. The
banks of San Juan Creek were closely examined for indications of buried cultural material.
Photographs of the project area can be found in Appendix B: Project Photographs.
' No cultural resources were identified during the survey.Due to the extensive disturbance that has
occurred at the northern and southern tie-in locations,the active stream channel where the majority of
' the project is located, and the depth of the replacement pipeline installation,there is very little
potential for unidentified buried resources to be present.

NATIVE AMERICAN CONSULTATION
On October 4, 2005, LSA initiated Native American consultation by contacting the Native American
Heritage Commission(NAHC)and requesting a search of the Sacred Lands File. The NAHC reply
dated October 20, 2005, stated that the search failed to indicate the presence of Native American
cultural resources but recommended that eight individuals/organizations be contacted that might have
knowledge or concerns regarding the project area. Letters were sent to each of these by LSA on
October 25,2005. Follow-up phone calls were made on December 1, 2005. Of the eight —
individuals/organizations contacted, five identified the project area as sensitive for cultural resources
and recommended monitoring, one had no concerns but requested notification if cultural resources
were discovered during construction, and two could not be reached at the phone number provided by
the NAHC. The results of the Native American consultation are included in Appendix B.

' RECOMMENDATIONS
' No cultural resources were identified by the records search or during the pedestrian survey of the
project area. The vast majority of the project area is below the active stream channel of San Juan
' Creek,while the northern and southern tie-ins are located within a graded, landscaped park and on the
disturbed shoulder of San Juan Creek Road, respectively. In addition,the tie-in locations have been
disturbed by construction of the existing pipeline. Only a small segment of the project extending from
the northern tie-in to the San Juan Creek channel (a maximum distance of 50 feet)has the potential to
contain intact sediments,which in turn could contain intact cultural deposits. However, no cultural
material was observed either on the ground surface or in the bank of San Juan Creek in this area, so
the likelihood of any intact cultural deposits being present within this very limited.area is unlikely.
' Based on the lack of cultural resources within the project area and the lack of potential for previously
unidentified cultural resources to be present, no further management for cultural resources in
recommended.
' In the event human remains are encountered, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 states that
no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made a determination of origin and
' disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98.The County Coroner must be
notified of the find immediately. If the remains are determined to be Native American,the County
Coroner will notify the NAHC, which will determine and notify an MLD. With the permission of the
landowner or his/her authorized representative, the MLD may inspect the site of the discovery. The
MLD shall complete the inspection within 24 hours of notification by the NAHC. The MLD will have
the opportunity to offer recommendations for the disposition of the remains.

RE: Proposed San Juan Creek Project, City of San Juan Capistrano; Orange County
Dear Mr. McLean:
A record search of the sacred land file has failed to indicate the presence of Native American —
cultural resources in the Immediate project area. The absence of specific site information in the
sacred lands file does not Indicate the absence of cultural resources In any project area. Other
sources of cultural resources should also be contacted for information regarding known and —
recorded sites.
Enclosed is a list of Native Americans individuals/organizations who may have knowledge of
cultural resources in the project area.The Commission makes no recommendation or preference
of a single individual, or group over another.This list should provide a starting place in locating
areas of potential adverse impact within the proposed project area. I suggest you contact all of
those indicated, if they cannot supply information, they might recommend others with specific —
knowledge. By contacting all those listed, your organization will be better able to respond to
claims of failure to consult with the appropriate tribe or group. If a response has not been
received within two weeks of notification,the Commission requests that you follow-up with a _
telephone call to ensure that the project Information has been received.
If you receive notification of change of addresses and phone numbers from any of these
individuals or groups, please notify me. With your assistance we are able to assure that our lists
contain current information. If you have any questions or need additional information, please
contact me at(916)653-4040.
Sincerely,

Subject: Native American Consultation for the Proposed San Juan Creek Project, City of San
Juan Capistrano, Orange County, California
Dear Mr. Belardes:
LSA Associates, Inc. (LSA) is under contract to provide a cultural resource assessment for the San
Juan Creek Project, located in the City of San Juan Capistrano, County of Orange, California.
Specifically,the project site is located at the southern terminus of Via Estenaga and crosses the San
Juan Creek. Horse stables and a park are present to the north of the project site and residential areas
are present to the South. The project is depicted in Section 5 of the U.S. Geological Survey(USGS)
San Juan Capistrano, California topographic quadrangle map, Township 8 South, Range 7 West, San
Bernardino Baseline Meridian(SBBM). A map showing the exact project location is attached.
The current project site consists of an existing eight-inch ductile iron pipe that crosses San Juan Creek.
This pipe was exposed during heavy winter storms in the winter of January 2005. The City of San Juan
Capistrano proposes to replace it with a 12-inch high-density polyethylene pipeline in order to protect
it from breaking in the future.
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA)requires that the lead federal
agency overseeing a project must consider the effect the project may have on historic properties. The
definition of"historic properties" includes, in some cases, properties of traditional religious and
cultural significance to an Indian tribe. To determine whether any historic properties may be affected
by the project,LSA is reviewing background information and consulting with entities such as the State
Historic Preservation Officer(SHPO). Section 106 requires consultation with Indian tribes that have
an interest in the undertaking(project). LSA understands that you may have knowledge about the area
in which the project is located.
Government-to-government relationships, as required by federal law, include the identification of an
individual designated by a Sovereign Indian Nation for the purposes of consultation. If you are not the
designated representative, please forward this information to the person who is responsible.
Additionally, for the purposes of future consultation,please inform me as to who will handle
consultation for your tribe. If I have no response within 10 working days, I will follow up with a
telephone call. We are also interested in establishing electronic mail (e-mail)contact information, if
appropriate. LSA solicits your input as part of this process. Please provide the necessary e-mail address
if you concur. You may also respond to this letter by e-mail. -

H:\pdata\10104453\Admin\spec\Front End\Part IE_Agreement and Bonds.doc
City shall extend the time fixed in Section 5 for completion of the Project by the number
of days Contractor has thus been delayed, provided that Contractor presents a written request
to City for such time extension within fifteen (15) days of the commencement of such delay and
City finds that the delay is justified. City's decision will be conclusive on the parties to this
Contract. Failure to file such request within the time allowed shall be deemed a waiver of the
claim by Contractor.
No claims by Contractor for additional compensation or damages for delays will
be allowed unless Contractor satisfies City that such delays were unavoidable and not
the result of any action or inaction of Contractor and that Contractor took all available
measures to mitigate such damages. Extensions of time and extra compensation as a
result of incurring undisclosed utilities will be determined in accordance with Section C-
9(f) of the General Provisions. The City's decision will be conclusive on all parties to
this Contract. —

f
fB. A change order shall also be any other written order (including direction,
instruction, interpretation or determination) from the City which causes any change,
fprovided Contractor gives the City written notice stating the date, circumstances and
f source of the order and that Contractor regards the order as a change order.
C. Except as provided in this Section 9, no order, statement or conduct of the
fCity or its representatives shall be treated as a change under this Section 9 or entitle
Contractor to an equitable adjustment.
fD. If any change under this Section 9 causes an increase or decrease in
f Contractor's actual, direct cost or the time required to perform any part of the work
under this Contract, whether or not changed by any order, the City shall make an
fequitable adjustment and modify the Contract in writing. Except for claims based on
defective specifications, no claim for any change under paragraph (B) above shall be
fallowed for any costs incurred more than twenty (20) days before the Contractor gives
f written notice as required in paragraph (B). In the case of defective specifications for
which the City is responsible, the equitable adjustment shall include any increased
fdirect cost Contractor reasonably incurred in attempting to comply with those defective
specifications.

this Section 9, it must, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written change order
funder paragraph (A) or the furnishing of a written notice under paragraph (B), submit a
fwritten statement to the City setting forth the general nature and monetary extent of

G. Contractor hereby agrees to make any and all changes, furnish the
materials and perform the work that City may require without nullifying this Contract.
Contractor shall adhere strictly to the Plans and Specifications, unless a change
therefrom is authorized in writing by the City. Under no condition shall Contractor make
any changes to the Project, either in additions or deductions, without the written order of
the City and the City shall not pay for any extra charges made by Contractor that have
not been agreed upon in advance in writing by the City. Contractor shall submit
immediately to the City written copies of its firm's cost or credit proposal for change in
the work. Disputed work shall be performed as ordered in writing by the City and the _.
proper cost or credit breakdowns therefore shall be submitted without delay by
Contractor to City.
H. If in the opinion of the City's Engineer, it is in the City's best interest and it
is deemed necessary to proceed with a required change in the Contract Documents,
and time precludes submittal of the Contractor's proposal or, thorough analysis of the _
Contractor's proposal, or the parties fail to reach an agreement, the City may order the
Contractor to proceed (Proceed Order) on the basis of a tentative, not to exceed price
based on the best estimate available at the time, with the firm price and time impact to
be determined later. If a Proceed Order is issued, the Contractor shall submit. his
proposal for the changes in the work within 7 calendar days of the Proceed Order, and a _
Change Order shall be negotiated and fully executed within 30 calendar days of the
Proceed Order.
Section 10. Liquidated Damaoes for Delay.
The parties agree that if the total work called for under this Contract, in all parts and
requirements, is not completed within the time specified in Section 5 plus the allowance made
for delays or extensions authorized under Sections 7, 8 and 9, the City will sustain damage,
which would be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. The parties therefore agree _
that Contractor will pay to City the sum of One Thousand Seven Hundred Dollars ($1,700) per
City of San Juan Capistrano AGREEMENT
14"Watedine Creek Crossing at Via Estenaga AGREEMENT AND BONDS-Page-6
H:\pdata\10104453\Admin\spec\Front End\Part IE_Agreement and Bonds.doc
' day, as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, for each and every calendar day during which
completion of the Project is so delayed.
' Contractor agrees to pay such liquidated damages and further agrees that City may
offset the amount of liquidated damages from any monies due or that may become due
' Contractor under this Contract.
Section 11. Contract Price and Method of Payment.
' City agrees to pay and Contractor agrees to accept as full consideration for the
' faithful performance of this Contract, subject to any subsequent additions or deductions
as provided in approved change orders, the sum of
' and no cents ($ )
as itemized on the attached Bid Schedule.
' Within thirty (30) days from the commencement of work, there shall be paid to
' the Contractor a sum equal to ninety percent (90%) of the value of the actual work
completed plus a like percentage of the value of material suitably stored at the worksite,
treatment plant or approved storage yards subject to or under the control of the City,
since the commencement of the work as determined by the City. Thereafter, on a
' schedule issued by the City at the commencement of the job which shows a minimum of
' one payment made to the Contractor per month for each successive month as the work
progresses and the request for payment due dates from the Contractor to meet the
' payment schedule, the Contractor shall be paid such sum as will bring the total
payments received since the commencement of the work up to ninety percent (90%) of
' the value of the work completed since the commencement of work as determined by the
' City, less all previous payments, provided that the Contractor submits the request for
payment prior to the end of the day required to meet the payment schedule. The City
' will retain ten percent (10%) of each approved progress payment until the Work is fifty
percent (50%) complete. Then, the City may at its option suspend further retainage
' until the final progress payment. The City reserves the right to reinstate up to ten
' City of San Juan Capistrano AGREEMENT

percent (10%) retainage of the total of the Work if the City determines, at its discretion,
that the Contractor is not performing the Work satisfactorily, or there is other specific
cause for such retainage.
Payments shall be made on demands drawn in the manner required by law,
accompanied by a certificate signed by the City's Engineer, stating that the work for
which payment is demanded has been performed in accordance with the terms of the
Contract, and that the amount stated in the certificate is due under the terms of the
Contract. Partial payments on the Contract price shall not be considered as an
acceptance of any part of the work.
Section 12. Substitution of Securities in Lieu of Retention of Funds.
Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22300 et seq., the Contractor will be -
entitled to post approved securities with the City or an approved financial institution in
order to have the City release funds retained by the City to insure performance of the
Contract. Contractor shall be required to execute an addendum to this Contract
together with escrow instructions and any other documents in order to effect this
substitution. -
Section 13. Completion.
Within ten (10) days after the contract completion date of the Project, Contractor shall

Subject: Summary of Geotechnical Boring to Evaluate Conditions for Estenaga Undercrossing, San
Juan Capistrano, California
Per your request, this memo has been provided to summarize our observations during the geotechnical
boring to evaluate conditions for the proposed Estenaga Undercrossing project, San Juan Capistrano,
California. We preformed the drilling on July 7,2005 to evaluate geotechnical conditions at depth,for a
proposed directional drilling operation to be performed in order to replace a water line that was exposed
during the February 2005 intense rainfall event(See attached Boring Location Map).
Materials found during our investigation were predominately sands and clayey sands and gravels, with
lesser amounts of cobbles. Drilling effort was low until approximately 74 feet of depth, where a cobble
layer was encountered. Groundwater was pervasive below 20 feet of depth, with flow rates into the
boring estimated to be upwards of 60 gallons per minute.
i
Stability of the borehole was low and was prone to collapse/caving, estimated to be due to the
combination of sand and groundwater.Casing was used to full depth during drilling and when extracted,
the borehole collapsed/caved. This possibility should be taken into consideration by the directional
drilling contractor prior to waterline installation.
