Background Coordinator IS-76-II5 The City has several public improvement projects planned for which application for funding under the Federal Public Works Employment Act of 1976 is being made. The purpose of this act is for the c"reation of new jobs to ease the rate of unemployment in high rate areas. Environmental review cf these project, Initial Studies, is required to be conducted in accordance with both NEPA and CEQA and will require the City Council's certification. B. Recommendation Adopt this staff report and evaluation form and recommend that the City Council find that the subject projects will not cause any substantial adverse effect on the environment in accordance with the attached Negative Declaratiotisand the findings therein; and find that the subject Initial. Studies have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of CEQA. C. Environmental Setting Construction activities will. he limited to public rights-of-way and/or drainage easements. There are no significant natural or man made resources kno;•m to exist within the project boundaries or on adjacent properties. The projects are not located within any fleod plain and there are no significant geological hazards, such as earthquake faulting or potential landslide areas, which would have a significant adverse effect on the project. D. Project Descri.pti.on 1. IS-7G-76 Storrs Drain through Fourth Ave. J St, to San Niguel Dr. (Exhibit 1) The project involves approri.amtely 12,000 sq. ft: of land area. Approxirnately.1700 linear ft. of 30" to 42" RCP and appurtenances will be installed beneath existing roadways. The proposed facility, with a capacity of 43 cfs, will extend north through Fourth Ave. from San i•]iguel Dr. to connect with the existing J St. systern having a capacity of 183 cfs. Curb inlets will be constructed at three locations along the Fourth Ave. route; north of San Miguel Dr., south of K St., and north of Kearney St. The construction of this storm drain is a part of the overall J St. storm drain system recommended by the Fogg Report. Project implementation will eliminate frequent flooding that occurs along Fourth Ave. between J St. and San Miguel Dr. during periods of heavy rain fall. The cross gutter traversing Fourth Ave. at K St. will also be removed as a part of this project and the intersection modified to provide a smooth riding surface. 2•..

Project implementation will eliminate frequent flooding that occurs at properties on the west side of First Ave. ,~ 4. IS-76-80 Sier.r.a t7ay Storm Drain - Broadway to Colorado Wit. (Exhibit 4) The project entails the construction of an underground storm drain from Sierra L~7ay (east of IIroadt•:ay) through 13road~.ray and the existing drainage easement o:esterly beneath Sierra Play (t•:est of Bro3c?way) to a point east of the SD&AE Railroad right- of-L•:ay. The proposal will involve 15,500 sq.. ft. of lane] area anc] 7.000 linear feet of CI4PA and appurten~.inces.

The project is c+escribed as follows: construction of a storm drain ro~ec ocatiun: .pp*-`oximate y 0 t. sout o C on Fourth to about 1000 ft. west on C St. It is the finding of the Em~ironmental Review Committee that the project will not have a significant effect on the environir,ent for the follot•~iriy reasons: 1. There are no natural or Y,nown historical resources cn site which would be adversely affected by project implementation. The project is located adjacent to a public park; however, the park is fenced and no hazard will be created. 2. The project is a public improvement, consistent with the General Plan and will not achieve short term to the disadvantage of long term goals. 3. Due to the type of project proposed, no hazard from potential liquefaction is present and no impacts which could interact and create a significant cumulative impact are anticipated. 4.

Reid, Environmental Review Coordinator SUBJECT: IS-76-86 Storm drain at General Roca Park A. Background The subject project is among several public improvement projects for which the City plans to apply for funding under the Federal Public P7orks Act of 1976. Environmental review is required to be conducted in accordance with both NEPA and CEQA and requires the 'City CcunciJ.'s certification. B. Recommendation Adopt this staff report and evaluation form and recommend that the City Council find that the project will not cause any significant adverse impact on the environment in accordance orith the attached Negative Declaration and the findings therein. C. Project Setting The project involves approximately 17,220 sq. ft. of land within an existing natural drainage channel. This channel is located within the public right-of-way along the perimeter of General Roca Park, extending approximately 200 ft. south of C St, on Fourth Ave, to about 1000 ft. west on C St. (See attached location map) The site is void of any natural or known historical resources. TIZe site is located within the Sweetwater River fJ.ood plain and, though there are no earthquake faults present, the site is subject to potential ligt:efaction. D. Project Descrint9or, The project includes tl:o conctruction of ahout 1225 linear ft. of 5' x. 6' and 6' >: 11' rectangular/trapezoidal drainage channel. The channelori].1 have a capacity to carry 240 cf.s and will connect :rith existing drainage facilities upstream, a 43" RCP. Project implementa- tion will prevent the frequent flooding of C St. E. Findings 1. There are no natural or knoc•m historical resources oa site which erould he adversely affected by project implementation. The project is located adjacent to a public park; however, the park is fenced and no hazard will be created. 2. The project is a public improvement, consistent with the General Plan and will not achieve short term to the disadvantage of long term goals. 3. Due to the type of project proposed, no hazard from potential liquefaction is present and no impacts which could interact and create a significant cumulative impact are anticipated. 4. The project will not cause the emission of any hazardous substance or substantial noise. which would impose a health hazard on human beings.
