James L. Dotson Mayor of the City of Fontana ATTEST: City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: City Attorney August 2 1, 1985 22737 BARTON ROAD, SUITE 7 POST OFFICE BOX 885 GRAND TERRACE, CA 92324 (714) 824-9510 Robert Schoenborn Public Works Director 8353 Sierra Avenue Fontaria, California 92335 Attn: Bob Porter Re: Beech Avenue Sewer Improvement Gentlemen: Please be advised that on Monday, 26 August 1985, we will begin preliminary topographic survey work on referenced project. We realize that a formal contract has yet to be executed; however', we accept on faith that such execution is imminent, and we must begin work now, else we are going to get into trouble with project schedules. We also request and strongly urge you to quickly send to Cal Trans a brief letter advising them of the possibility of butchering a portion of their Foothill Boulevard, and requesting from them some preliminary response about the concept of placing a relatively large sewer main within their right-of- way. As we have mentioned, cur experience with Cal Trans has always been at the least bitter, and at other times their requirements and suggestions have bordered on the ludicrous. We do not want to proceed too far nor long and get paid for useless efforts_nullified by Cal Trans' latent conditions. We have already proceeded to the extent of obtaining utility record plans, Assessor and right-of-way maps, etc., and we feel fairly certain that the most logical corridor will be the north traffic lane of Foothill. We have also reviewed such alignment with several Contractors and have received advice to anticipate an expensive project, due in part to anticipated stringent traffic control and pavement restoration requirements. If there are questions or instructions regarding either the above comments or the Project in general, please call. Respectfull~~ amTs!L. Dotson, CE May 23, 1985 Memo to: Robert Schoenborn, P.E, Public Works Director City of Fontaria Lloyd Michels, General Manager Cucamonga County Water District I talked to Larry Miller of the Chino Basin Municipal Water District regarding discharging domestic sewage into the non-reclaimable line at Etiwanda Ave. and 8th Street. tle stated there are two non-reclaimable lines, one in 8th Street going west from Etiwanda Avenue, and one in Etiwanda Avenue going south to "G" Street and then westerly. The line in 8th Street is filled to capacity primarily by Southern California Edison Company. The line in Etiwanda, however, has capacity and he wasn't sure the amount, 'but estimated between I and 2 MGD. The problem is getting the Board of Directors of Chino Basin to approve allowing the domestic flow until RP-4 is constructed. A sewer with a capacity of 1 to 2 MGD should be able to handle about 2500 to 5800 dwelling units during peak flow. The Engineering StafI at CBMWD indicates the property for RP-4 is being appraised now. The engineering project report due in 1986 and Final Design in 1987 and with a desirable construction completion date of 1989. Assuming 1990 for completion and with first residential move-ins in August, 1986, there would be about four years ol house sales. This would give between 25 and 1450 dwellings per year for a total ol 2500 to 5800 dwelling. Mr. Miller indicated an official request should be made by the City of Fontana or the Cucamonga County Water District, or better still both agencies to CBMWD for the, temporary connection to the non-reclaimable line, giving the reasons and the amount of time the connection to the line would remain. 3186-L AIRWAY AVENUE * COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA 92626-4675 * (714) 641 '8777 I assume that you will take it from here.

SAWYER Chief, Transportation Planning Branch. B bcc: KSteele RSassaman GNelson RThompson DRobertson December 5, 1989 Fontana City Council City Hall Fontana, CA Dear Council member: I respectfully request that consideration of the environmental documents concerning the Foothill/Beech Sewer Project be continued until a future date in order for the city staff to more thoroughly examine some environmental issues that I will enumerate in this letter. It is further requested that consideration of the project itself be continued until such time that an appropriate and informed decision regarding the project's potential for environmental damage has been made under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines. The Initial Study prepared by Yousuf Patanwala, reviewed and approved by Robert W. Weddle, dated October 19, 1989 does not seem to provide sufficient information from which ajudgement regarding significance can be made. The following general comments regarding the Initial Study are appropriate in this case: The project description does not provide sufficient detail to know what is to occur, when it will occur, or why the project is being proposed. If installation of a sewer is involved, shouldn't the fact that a particular amount of earthwork will be accomplished be noted, or that the surface will be left bare or paved over, or a large hole will be left, be noted there. All phases of project planning, implementation, and operation are required to be considered by the Initial Study. Yet only installation is mentioned in the project description. No mention is made of the existing environmental setting. Without a baseline from which the project will be starting, it may be impossible to predict change. Without a baseline environment how can significance be determined? This is especially important for this project which is outside of the city limits and could be quite different than the setting within the city. No substantiation of any information is provided in the Initial Study. This would possibly be of less importance if the Initial Study did not indicate the potential for significant impact and then suggest that all of the impacts will be fully mitigated to levels of non-significance. The Initial Study does not examine consistency with applicable zoning, land use designations or other land use controls. The following comments are alpha-numerically keyed to the "mitigation measures" in the City of Fontana Initial Study and deal with the corresponding environmental issues: 1.a. What angle is being proposed that will assure side slope stability and when is this angle to be arrived at if it has not been7 What soils are beneath the proposed alignment? 'What is the proper shoring procedure in these soils? 1.b. What is to be done with residual soil? What is the recourse if the surface subsides and the excess soil has been trucked away? What definition of significance has been used in this instance? 1.c. Does this "mitigation measure" indicate that there could be significant impact to area topography? }tow does this paragraph mitigate that impact? 1.e. What is proposed to preclude wind erosion following construction? This area is noted for the winds that occasionally occur there. 1.g. What qualifies as proper shoring of the trench walls? What level of earthshaking was considered as probable? 2.a. Who is going to determine that work will halt on 1st stage days and what is the general area? This information is generally available and needs to be included in the evaluation and considered by the Council. 3.b Since it is a storm drain project will the project be taking flows from Foothill? What is the project doing about runoff in the project area, has it been quantified, will sheetflows across Foothill be impeded by the project? Is the project to occur during the wet part of the year? 4.a. The tree program that iis mentioned as a mitigation measure uses an unstated formula for replacement. Does the tree program just collect money for mitigation yet not cause even a one for one replacement because a county program will cause planting in this area at some future stage of area development? What will mitigate the impact of tree removal from this project.'? 4.b. The Initial Study notes a significant impact and no mitigation is required. This omission alone precludes the use of a negative declaration. 5.a. Until you are able to quantify and time a replanting program and quantify the impact you are mitigating, the accuracy of this statement is in question. Has a biological assessment of the area been accomplished? Has the California Natural Diversity Data Base been reviewed for this project? 6.a. What is the state law referred to and what noise levels does that law require? Are those limitations equal to or greater than those required by the county? 10b. If this project may interfere, what is the interference and how does notifying those agencies mitigate', the impact7 It would seem that the physical impact will require a physical resolution. 2 13b. What might be the impact on parking and how will signage mitigate that impact? For what time periods might the parking areas not be available? 13c. What is the impact on traffic and how does the proposed mitigation lessen that impact? Again, what time frame is involved? Total disruption for three days has an entirely different significance than seventy-five percent disruption for three months. 13d. At what point is this being required of the contractor and through what mechanism? What controls are in place to assure compliance? 13f. What is proper for this 'traffic environment? Who is to judge the proper levels of signage and proper controlling devices if they are not spelled out here? Should this be left to tlhe contractor? 16. If the proposed project !impacts adversely on area utilities, what is that impact? The mitigation measure that is noted is not a mitigation measure. In summary the environmental documentation that has been prepared does not meet the require. ments of CEQA either as it has been written and amended and it does not inform the decisions makers of the potential impacts the project may have on the environment. Furthermore the Initial Study as written does not mitigate all noted significant impacts to levels of non-significance, mandating a course of action other than issuing a Negative Declaration. In the :interest of improving the quality of the Foothill/Beech Sewer Project, I ask that you continue this public hearing until such time as you have been able to reevaluate the potential environmental impacts that may be caused by this proposed project. Because of the amount of reevaluation that must be accomplished it is appropriate that the new Initial Study be recirculated for public review and comment and that future hearings on the project be properly noticed. Because the project requires discreti[onary approval of a state agency, any future review should be coordinated with the state clearing house and the review period should reflect state review. Your careful consideration of these issues prior to making a decision is appreciated wholly. Sincerely, Carl Atkinson ~osepn ~ono P.O. Box 3615 Fon'tana, CA 92334-0i.~-. (71~) 822-4036 November 30, 1989 ~ Mr. Robert Weddle NOV 30 1989 Engineering Department City of Fontana PUSUCWORKS 8353 Sierra Avenue ~TMe~ Fontaria, CA 92335 RE, Foothill Boulevard Sewer Dear Bob, I want ~o thank you and your S~aff for your profess~onsl crit~[~ue yesterday. It is with sadness that ~r. Sigfredo Concepcion's father was killed instantly last night while attempting to cross Foothill and Sultans. He is the ma~ who raised the issue a~a[n of a signal at the intersection. I received a telephone communication yesterday from Caltrsns and they are also awaiting the City Attorney's opinion on the ownership of the windbreak along Foothill. It is my understandin~ that an easement is a non-possessory inte~est in land. This also applies to the right of ways. My research into the matter concluded that the property owner retained ownership. Is there any way the research can be ready before the City Council meeting? This would resolve the issue of whether the monies go into the Tree Fund, or is a taking from the property owner and reimbursement goes to him. I have had several opinions from ~ertified arborists as to the t~ee's value and i~ is muc2~ higher than the values placed by your consultant. Ironically, the Winds were blowing as we conducted ~he meeting. The ~rees are presently needed for a windbreak and without them my property on the South side of Foothill will be ~reatly a~fected for years to come, Wind studies should be made. Bob, easements are gr~nted with dominant and servient estates, but the possesscry interest ~oes to the landowner to the center of the street and the property is so taxed. Please feel free to telephone me at your early convenience. Sincerely, JOS~H BO RE, 17 Eucalyptus Trees growing on the North side of Foothill Boulevard between Sultana and Beech, Fontaria, California. NEGATIVE IMPACT For the following reasons, it is felt the removal of the trees will have a POSITIVE impact upon the environment, The trees bordering Foothill Boulevard were originally intended to serve as a WINDBREAK. Removal of them would greatly affect the blowing sand and debris to the buildings along the South side of Foothill. Windbreaks do slow the velocity of the Santa Aria winds and it would take years for replacement t~ees to accomplish the same purpose. The trees contribute to the REDUCTIONof smog. Photosyntheses of the leaves is needed to clean the environment. The trees are the only GREENERy along Foothill Boulevard in the subject area. They are the only esthetic beauty in thisI strip of Foothill. WILDLXFE use the trees as has been observed over the years. Birds have nested during the Spring. It is not feasible to GIRD the trees as the height of the trees is direc~ly proportionate to the root system. The trees will have to be removed if the sewer is constructed along Foothill. Assurances in the way of LIQUIDATED DAMACES is requested by the residents in event the project causes damage during the windy season. CALTRANS and SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION Departments should be notifird to get their input. ESTIMATES of mature Eucalypus Trees have been between the 2 to 5 thousand dollar range per tree for replacement along with the lack of same for years until new stock grows to the same height. Preliminary research indicates 0WNERSHIP of the trees remained with the private land-owner. Any compensation for the removal of same belongs to the titled lando~mer, and should not be placed in a common tree fund. I am not against the sewer project, but is noted ONLY the sewer will pass from Beech to Lime. The NEED for the storm drains is NOW, as is the water line. By a 12 foot strip, the City annexed land to the West in 1964. We wanted annexation when Fontana first incorporated in 1952 and in 1964, but were denied. We are now IMPACTED and frustrated by new development surrounding us. We need automated traffic signals and storm drains NOW. We should not be denied the very things created by the City that we had no way to control. My family had to put in their own water lines at their own expense when we settled here. The was absolutely no infrastructure. We installed our own septic tanks and built our other required utilities as needed. No storm drains or water lines are in the current plans. We are FLOODED now. we need TRAFFIC SIGNALS now. There is a 'catch basin' that was to control flood waters on Sultana and Miller. It is ineffective. Our land on Foothill had always been dry even through the most severe flooding. With the development of new homes to the north of us, Foothill Boulevard is now flooded every time it rains. The plans should include this area as a past due need. There are countless accidents at Foothill and Sultana due to needed signals now. CONCLUSION Removal of the trees is only a minimal part of a large overall present need. As I write this to you, there is a severe wind storm. Dust and debris is flying on my ~,roperty. If the trees are removed, winds will travel with an even greater velocity for many years which will imoact 'the South side of Foothill Boulevard. COMPENSATORY DAMAGES is a realistic alternative to alleviate this future problem. The agencies and developers who impact the area are the logical ones to DaY for this impaction of the infrastructure. Heinz Fisher 15114 Foothill Blvd., Sp.1 Fontana, California 92335 City of Fontana 8353 Sierra Avenue Fontana, California 92335 To The City Council and Planning Commission RE: Foothill/Beech Sewer Project and proposal for Negative Declaration of Same We reside in the proposed project area, corner of Hemlock and Foothill Boulevard, parcel #228-251-21 and 22, also 228-.251-43 and 44. The .plans by Hall Forman Inc. drawing N571 sheet ~ 2 of 3, shows in the plans the widening of Foothill from existing R/W to proposed R/W. This has a profound effect on our livelihood. We live on our property and it provides us with an income. You are now taking our land and income aw~. The plans also show removal of existing gas line. To aXy knowledge this is our gas supply line for us and our tenants. You propose to turn off the gas for our senior citizen tenants who lived on the property from 20 to 40 years and range in age from 60 to 90 years of age. This removes our ability to rent out spaces, thus, denying us an income and ability to exist. The project proposes to use 15 feet inside our chainlink fence. We installed the fence for security. To make it look neat and prevent dust we covered the area with slag. We also installed a drip system, planted oleander bushes and pine trees within the past five years. You now will damage the area and the cost to us is prohibitive. The proposed sewer services are not for our use, No one in this. area has requested sewer service or petitioned us to participate in such a project. We are not financially able to develop. Yet we now expect future assessment district for this improvement which does not benefit us, it only benefits the City. of Fontana and future developers in the area. Other cities have managed to provide sewer service with municipal funds. Also, some cities have senior citizen exemptions from assessment fees. This city has not offered us any such incentives. Since we have low rent, to hook up to the service is financially impossible. There is not an income to cover such an expense. For us to relocate and start all over is impossible at our age. We now request that you assume full responsibility for us and our tenants, should you approve the project.

PREPARED BY: October 19, 1989 ~ . v~ DATE YOU T LA CIVIL ENGINEERING ASSISTANT III REVIEWED AND APPROVED ROBERT W. WEDDLE INTERIM CITY ENGINEER Hitigation r4easures to a~l "Yes" and "Naybe" ariswers: 1.a. At the time of excavation unstable earth conditions will result which will be mitigated through proper shoring procedure or by maintaining side slopes of the trench at an angle as recommended by soils engineer which will allow stable slopes. I.b. Due to the excavation of the trench, soil will be disturbed and displaced. Host of this soil will be placed back into the trench after the placement of utility pipes. During backfilling operation, the soil ~ill be well compacted~ and the top of the trench will be leveled to grade with the surrounding ground. 1.c. Topographical change is expected during construction stage only which will diminish as the project is out of the construction stage. I.e. Increase in wind erosion may result due to loose excavated dirt piled up on the side or alongside the project. This will be mitigated through proper watering of the area under construction stage and where dirt is being piled up as per standard specification for Public Work's construction 7-8.1. 1.g. There is a possibility' during construction of ground failure which will be prevented through proper shoring of the trench walls. 2.a. The heavy equipment on the project site will temporarily disturb the air quality of the surrounding area, but he is regulated by Article 7-8.2 of the Standard Specifications for Public Work's Construction. To further minimize this effect, the work will not be carried out on days when the general air quality is said to be in 1st stage smog alert. 3.b. Installation of a storm drain line will benefit the general area by allowing the storm run off water to be picked up by catch basins in the side streets and reducing the surface flow on streets itself, thus reducing chances of flooding of streets and surrounding area. 4.a. The City of Fontaria recognizes and appreciates the positive effect that the wind rows of Eucalyptus trees have in creating the beauty and ambience of the City. The City encourages saving these wind rows whenever possible. In this project, in order to provide for public health and safety by the construction of sewers and storm drains, the removal of the existing wind rows of Eucalyptus trees is necessary on Foothill Boulevard between Cherry Avenue and Lime Avenue and on the proposed Beech Avenue between Foothill and Baseline. These wind rows lie within the existing or proposed street right-of-way. Page 2 In order to insure that the trees will be planted in the streetscape at the time Foothill Boulevard ls widened to its full width, the City of Fontana will establish a tree program. Honey will be placed in the tree program using the following guidelines: I. Before the project beglns, a certtfied arbortst will verify the number of trees, which have to be removed for the project, along Foothill Boulevard and the proposed Beech Avenue. The condition and trunk size of each of these trees will be determined by the arborist. 2. For the trees which have to be removed along Foothill Boulevard, the City will place $75.00 in the Tree Program for every tree rated average or above with a diameter of 8" or less. For every tree rated average or above with a diameter of 9" or more, $300 wt~] be placed in the Tree Fund. 3. For the trees which have to be removed for the project on private property along the future Beech ~venue, the City wt3I negotiate with the private property owners. If the property owner agrees to metntatn the trees, the Ctty will plant trees on the private property of the resident per the schedule estabIished for the trees along Footht]] Boulevard. Honey placed tn this tree program will be used to plant trees along Foothill Boulevard and vicinity where not already required by development standards. 5.a. The removal of the Eucalyptus trees may change the number of btrds and small rodents tn the area. However, with the planttng of new trees in the streetscape, the blrds and small rodents may return. 6.a. There will be an increase in notse level due to construction equipment, but will it be mlttgated by enforcing state laws for keeping their noise level within permissible 11mtts. Also, the hours of construction will be ltmtted to 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. ZOb. The project may interfere wtth normal emergency operations. All uttlity companies, Police and Ftre will be notified at least a week tn advance of the section of the project on whtch work wtll be taklng place. In addition, the contractor will be required to follow the Article 7-I0 of the Standard Specification for Publlc Norks Construction, which addresses public convenience and safety. Page 3 13b. Existing parking along side of the street may be affected and it will be mitigated through proper posting of sign indicating approximately for what time period parking at a particular location will not be available. 13c. It will cause substeLntial impact on traffic flow on Foothill Boulevard during construction stage and to mitigate this impact, there will be advance notice placed on the roadway to make the people aware of the lane closures and expected date of its returning back to normal state. Also, the contractor will follow Caltran's temporary detour plans for the smooth flow of traffic. 13d. Excavation of a trench in front of property may cause temporary inconvenience to the businesses and homeowners along the project site. In order to minimize the effect, the contractor will be required, through project specifications and plan notes, to provide temporary driveway access by any suitable means to the property at all times. 13f. The closure and movement of construction equipment will increase traffic hazards to all the road users, and this will be mitigated through proper posti:ng of signs according to traffic safety standards and by proper traffic controlling devices for safe detour of the traffic. 16. The construction of the new sewer line will provide sewer service to the property owners in that areas as well as releasing substantial pressure off the existing sewer pump at corner of Lime Avenue and Foothill Boulevard.

Existing parking along side of the street may be affected and it will be mitigated through proper posting of sign indicating approximately for what time period parking at a particular location will not be available. 13c. It will cause substantial impact on traffic flow on Foothill Boulevard during construction stage and to mitigate this impact, there will be advance notice placed on the roadway to make the people aware of the lane closures and expected date of its returning back to normal state. Also, the contractor will follow Caltran's temporary detour plans for the smooth flow of traffic. 13d. Excavation of a trench in front of property may cause temporary inconvenience to the businesses and homeowners along the project site. In order to minimize the effect, the contractor will be required, through project specifications and plan notes, to provide temporary driveway access by any suitable means to the property at all times. 13f. The closure and movement of construction equipment will increase traffic hazards to all the road users, and this will be mitigated through proper posting of signs according to traffic safety standards and by propel, traffic controlling devices for safe detour of the traffic. 1,6. The construction of the new sewer line will provide sewer service to the property owners in that areas as well as releasing substantial pressure off the existing sewer pump at corner of Lime Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. fCHERRY AVE, IHF.

At the time of excavation unstable earth conditions will result which will be mitigated through proper shoring procedure or by maintaining side slopes of the trench at an angle as recommended by soils engineer which will allow stable slopes, 1.b. Due to the excavation of the trench, soil will be disturbed and displaced. Host of this soil will be placed back into the trench after the placement of utility pipes. During backfilling operation, the soil will be well compacted~ and the top of the trench will be leveled to grade with the surrounding ground. 1..c. Topographical change is expected during construction stage only which will diminish as the project is out of the construction stage. 1.e. Increase in wind erosion may result due to loose excavated dirt piled up on the side or alongside the project. This will be mitigated through proper watering of the area under construction stage and where dirt is being piled up as per standard specification for Public Work's construction 7-8.1. 1.g. There is a possibility during construction of ground failure which will be prevented through proper shoring of the trench walls. 2.a. The heavy equipment on the project site will temporarily disturb the air quality of the surrounding area, but he is regulated by Article 7-8.2 of the Standard Specifications for Public Work's Construction. To further minimize this effect, the work will not be carried out on days when the general air quality is said to be in 1st stage smog alert. 3.b. Installation of a storm drain line will benefit the general a~ea by allowing the storm run off water to be picked up by catch basins in the side streets and reducing the surface flow on streets itself, thus reducing chances of flooding of streets and surrounding area. ~l,a. The City of Fontaria recognizes and appreciates the positive effect that the wind rows of Eucalyptus trees have in creating the beauty and ambience of the City. The City encourages saving these wind rows whenever possible. In this project, in order to provide for public health and safety by the construction of sewers and storm drains, the removal of the existing wind rows of Eucalyptus trees is necessary on Foothill Boulevard between Cherry Avenue and Lime Avenue and on the proposed Beech Avenue between Foothill and Baseline, These wind rows lie within the existing or proposed street right-of-way. Page In order to insure that the trees will be planted in the streetscape at the time Foothill Boulevard is widened to its full width, the City of Fontaria will establish a tree program. Money will be placed in the tree program using the following guidelines~ 1. Before the project begins, a certified arborist will verify the number of trees, which have to be removed for the project, along Foothill Boulevard and the proposed Beech Avenue. The condition and trunk size of each of these trees will be determined by the arborist. 2. For the trees which have to be removed along Foothill Boulevard, the City will place $75.00 in the Tree Program for every tree rated average or above with a diameter of 8" or less. For every tree rated average or above with a diameter of 9" or more, $300 will be placed in the Tree Fund. 3. For the trees which have to be removed for the project on private property along the future Beech Avenue, the City will negotiate with the private property owners. If the property owner agrees to maintain the trees, the City will plant trees on the private property of the resident per the schedule established for the trees along Foothill Boulevard. Money placed in this tree program will be used to plant trees along Foothill Boulevard and vicinity where not already required by development standards. 5~a. The removal of the Eucalyptus trees may change the number of birds and small rodents in the area. However, with the planting of new trees in the streetscape, the birds and small rodents may return. 6.a. There will be an increase in noise level due to construction equipment, but will it be mitigated by enforcing state laws for keeping their noise level within permissible limits. Also, the hours of construction will be limited to 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. 10bo The project may interfere with normal emergency operations. All utility companies, Police and Fire will be notified at least a week in advance of the section of the project on which work will be taking place. In addition, the contractor will be required to follow the Article 7-10 of the Standard Specification for Public Works Construction, which addresses public convenience and safety. Page 3 13b. Existing parking along side of the street may be affected and it will be mitigated through proper posting of sign indicating approximately for what time period parking at a particular location will not be available. 13c. It will cause substantial impact on traffic flow on Foothill Boulevard during construction stage and to mitigate this impact, there will be advance notice placed on the roadway to make the people aware of the lane closures and expected date of its returning back to normal state. Also, the contractor will follow Caltran's temporary detour plans for the smooth flow of traffic. 13d. Excavation of a trench in front of property may cause temporary inconvenience to the businesses and homeowners along the project site. In order to minimize the effect, the contractor will be required, through project specifications and plan notes, to provide temporary driveway access by any suitable means to the property at all times. 13f. The closure and movement of construction equipment will increase traffic hazards to all the road users, and this will be mitigated through proper posting of signs according to traffic safety standards and by proper traffic controlling devices for safe detour of the traffic. 16. The construction of tile new sewer line will provide sewer service to the property owners in that areas as well as releasing substantial pressure off the existing sewer pump at corner of Lime Avenue and Foothill Boulevard.

For the trees which have to be removed along Foothill Boulevard, the City will place $75.00 in the Tree Program for every tree rated average or above with a diameter of 8" or less. For every tree rated average or above with a diameter of g" or more, $300 will be placed in the Tree Fund. 3. For the trees which have to be removed for the project on private property along the future Beech Avenue, the City will negotiate with the private property owners. If the property owner agrees to maintain the trees, the City will plant trees on the private property of the resident per the schedule established for the trees along Foothill Boulevard. Noney placed in this tree program will be used to plant trees along Foothill Boulevard and vicinity where not already required by development standards. 5.a. The removal of the Eucalyptus trees may change the number of birds and small rodents in the area. However, with the planting of new trees in the streetscape, the birds and small rodents may return. 6.a. There will be an increase in noise level due to construction equipment, but will it be mitigated by enforcing state laws for keeping their noise level within permissible limits. Also, the hours of construction will be limited to 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. lob. The project may interfere with normal emergency operations. All utility companies, Police and Fire will be notified at least a week in advance of the section of the project on which work will be taking place. In addition, the contractor will be required to follow the Article 7-10 of the Standard Specification for Public Works Construction, which addresses public convenience and safety. Page 3 13b. Existing parking alon~l side of the street may be affected and it will be mitigated through proper posting of sign indicating approximately for what time period parking at a particular location will not be available. 13c. It will cause substantial impact on traffic flow on Foothill Boulevard during construction stage and to mitigate this impact, there will be advance. notice placed on the roadway to make the people aware of the lane closures and expected date of its returning back to normal state. Also, the contractor will follow Caltran's temporary detour plans for the smooth flow of traffic. 13d. Excavation of a trench in front of property may cause temporary inconvenience to the businesses and homeowners along the project site. In order to minimize the effect, the contractor will be required, through project specifications and plan notes, to provide temporary driveway access by any suitable means to the property at all times. 13f. The closure and movement of construction equipment will increase traffic hazards to all the road users, and this will be mitigated through proper posting of signs according to traffic safety standards and by proper traffic controlling devices for safe detour of the traffic. 16. The construction of the new sewer line will provide sewer service to the property owners in that areas as well as releasing substantial pressure off the existing sewer pump at corner of Lime Avenue and Foothill Boulevard.

X APENDIX I Page 7 ZIX Discussion of Envlrormental E~luation (Narrative description of environmental impacts.) IV. Determination {To be completed by the Lead Agency.) 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. 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 NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED. X I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. PREPARED BY: October 19, lg89 ' DATE YOU LA CIVIL ENGINEERING ASSISTANT III REVIEWED AND APPROVED ROBERT W. WEDDLE INTERIN CITY ENGINEER rtitlgatton Heasures to a]] "Yes" and "Ha~be" answers~ 1.a. At the time of excavation unstable earth conditions will result which will be mitigated through proper shoring procedure or by maintaining side slopes of the trench at an angle as recommended by soils engineer which will allow stable slopes. 1.b. Due to the excavation, of the trench, soil will be disturbed and displaced. Host of this soil will be placed back into the trench after the placement of utility pipes. During backfilling operation, the soil will be well compactedl and the top of the trench will be leveled to grade with the surrounding ground. 1.c. Topographical change is expected during construction stage only which will diminish as the project is out of the construction stage. 1.e. Increase in wind erosion may result due to loose excavated dirt piled up on the side! or alongside the project. This will be mitigated through proper watering of the area under construction stage and where dirt is being piled up as per standard specification for Public Work's construction 7-8.1. 1.g. There is a possibility during construction of ground failure which will be prevented through proper shoring of the trench walls. 2.a. The heavy equipment on the project site will temporarily disturb the air quality of the surrounding area, but he is regulated by Article 7-8.2 of the Standard Specifications for Public Work's Construction. To further minimize this effect, the work will not be carried out on days when the general air quality is said to be in 1st stage smog alert. 3..b. Installation of a storm drain line will benefit the general area by allowing the storm run off water to be picked up by catch basins in the side streets and reducing the surface flow on streets itself, thus reducing chances of flooding of streets and surrounding area. 4.a. The City of Fontaria recognizes and appreciates the positive effect that the wind rows of IEucalyptus trees have in creating the beauty and ambience of the City. The City encourages saving these wind rows whenever possible.. In this project, in order to provide for public health and safety by the construction of sewers and storm drains, the removal of the existing wind rows of Eucalyptus trees is necessary on Foothill Boulevard between Cherry Avenue and Lime Avenue and on the proposed Beech Avenue between Foothill and Baseline. These wind rows lie within the existing or proposed street right-of-way. Page In order to insure that the trees will be planted in the streetscape at the time Foothill Boulevard is widened to its full width, the City of Fontana will establish a tree program. Money will be placed in the 'tree program using the following guidelines: 1. Before the project begins, a certified arborist will verify the number of trees, which have to be removed for the project, along Foothill Boulevard and the proposed Beech Avenue. The condition and trunk size of each of these trees will be determined by the arborist. 2. For the trees which have to be removed along Foothill Boulevard, the City will place $75.00 in the Tree Program for every tree rated average or above with a diameter of 8" or less, For every tree rated average or above with a diameter of 9" or more, $300 will be placed in the Tree Fund. 3. For the trees which have to be removed for the project on private property along the future Beech Avenue, the City will negotiate with the private property owners. If the property owner agrees to maintain the trees, the City will plant trees on the private property of the resident per the schedule established for the trees along Foothill Boulevard. Money placed in this tree program wtll be used to plant trees along Foothill Boulevard and victnity where not already required by development standards. 5.a. The removal of the Eucalyptus trees may change the number of birds and small rodents in the area. However, wtth the plantlng of new trees in the streetscape, the birds and small rodents may return. 6.a. There will be an inc'rease in noise level due to construction equipment, but wtll it be mitigated by enforcing state laws for keeping their noise level within permissible limits. Also, the hours of construction w111 be limited to 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. lob. The project may interfere wlth normal emergency operations. All uttltty companies, Police and Fire wtll be notified at least a week in advance of the section of the project on which work will be taking place. In addition, the contractor wtll be required to follow the Article 7-10 of the Standard Specification for Public Works Construction, which addresses public convenience and safety. Page 3 13b. Existing parking along side of the street may be affected and tt will be mitigated t:hrough proper posting of sign indicating approximately for what time period parktng at a particular location will not be available. 13c. It will cause substantial impact on traffic flow on Foothill Boulevard during construction stage and to mitigate this impact, there wtll be advance. notice placed on the roadway to make the people aware of the lane closures and expected date of its returning back to normal state. Also, the contractor will follow Caltran's temporary detour plans for the smooth flow of traffic. 13d. Excavation of a trench in front of property may cause temporary inconvenience to the businesses and homeowners along the project stte. In order to mlinimlze the effect, the contractor will be required, through project specifications and plan notes, to provide temporary driveway access by any suttable means to the property at all times. ~3f. The closure and movement of construction equipment wtll increase traffic hazards to all the road users, and this will be mitigated through proper posting of signs according to traffic safety standards and by proper' traffic controlling devices for safe detour of the traffic. 16. The construction of the new sewer line will provide sewer service to the property owners in that areas as well as releasing substantial pressure off the existing sewer pump at corner of Lime Avenue and Foothill Boulevard.
