HomeMy WebLinkAbout20 DESIGN REVIEW 06-08 RAWLINGS RESERVOIR 04-17-06AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: APRIL 17,2006 TO: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: DESIGN REVIEW 06-008, RAWLINGS RESERVOIR REPLACEMENT SUMMARY Design Review 06-008 is a City of Tustin Water project that involves the demolition of the existing 3.82 million gallon Rawlings Reservoir at 13331 Foothill Boulevard and the construction of two new 3.0 million gallon concrete domestic water tanks within the same site. Also proposed is an off-site storm drain connection within the existing right- of-way adjacent to the site. The proposed project would provide vital system-wide operational, fire suppression, and emergency storage for the Tustin Water Service Area. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt: 1. Resolution No. 06-49 approving the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration as adequate for Design Review 06-008 for the Rawlings Reservoir Replacement project and adopting a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; and 2. Resolution No. 06-50 approving Design Review 06-008 to demolish the existing 3.82 million gallon Rawlings Reservoir at 13331 Foothill Boulevard and construct two new 3.0 million gallon partially-buried concrete domestic water tanks within the same site. FISCAL IMPACT: Design Review 06-008 is a City-initiated project. Funds in the amount of $1,236,666 are currently budgeted for the final design of the project in Fiscal Year 2005-06. Construction funding, which has yet to be secured for the project, is expected to consist of bonds in the amount of approximately $16,000,000. ENVIRONMENTAL: A Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Report Program have been prepared in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and are attached as Exhibits A and B of Resolution 06-49 (Attachment C). Design Review 06-008 April 17, 2006 Page 2 BACKGROUND: The project site encompasses approximately 1.7 acres and is located at 13331 Foothill Boulevard approximately 1,000 feet northwest of Newport Avenue. The project site is an incorporated island within the City of Tustin surrounded by unincorporated areas of Orange County (Attachment A - Location Map). The project site is bounded by Foothill Boulevard and Foothill High School to the south, an unnamed private road and single family residences to the east, a vacant lot to the west, and a single family residence to the north. The site has General Plan Land Use Designations of Low Density Residential and Public/Institutional. The proposed project would be designated as a Public/Institutional use and therefore would not conflict with the Tustin General Plan, zoning ordinance, other policies, or regulations applicable to the area. The existing reservoir on the site consists of a rectangular 3.82 MG trapezoidal bottom structure in the northern portion of the site. The reservoir is partially buried and has been cut into the natural, southeast-facing hillside. The existing reservoir was constructed in 1971 and has concrete-block perimeter walls and a wood-framed roof. A concrete-block retaining wall is located along the northern property boundary at the toe of an ascending off-site slope. There are an existing residence and pool upslope from the reservoir. This retaining wall has a reinforced concrete foundation structurally integrated with the parallel northerly wall of the reservoir. A concrete wall and chain-link fence form the eastern project boundary and are adjacent to an unnamed private-access asphalt road. A booster pump station is located in the southern portion of the project site and is housed in a concrete structure. An earthen berm descends from the south side of the reservoir down to the paved driveway and pump station. The City of Tustin Water Services Division supplies domestic water and maintains water wells, water main lines, service laterals, hydrants, pump stations, pressure reducing valves, and water storage facilities. The City's water system is divided into three pressure Zones (1, 2, and 3) and currently provides for 7.83 MG of the total storage from five existing reservoirs. Before it was taken out of service in late 2004, the Rawlings Reservoir provided an additional 3.82 MG (approximately one-third) of the storage required for pressure Zones 1 and 2 to meet operational, fire, and emergency storage needs. Water storage is a key element of any water distribution system. Reservoirs are constructed to provide water supply during peak periods of the day for fire protection and as a backup for emergency conditions. "Operational storage" is the storage volume required to supply peak system demands above the maximum day demand. "Fire storage" is water needed to provide a rate of flow for a required period of time as identified by the Fire Marshal for the types of development served by the system. "Emergency storage" is the water supply needed at times when other sources of supply are out of service or reduced due to an emergency or repair situation. Design Review 06-008 April 17, 2006 Page 3 In 1990 an engineering study identified storage and structural deficiencies in the City's water system reservoirs. Improvement recommendations included increasing the storage of the Rawlings Reservoir. In 1996, an engineering analysis of the Rawlings Reservoir identified several structural deficiencies; demolition and replacement of the existing reservoir was recommended. The City's Public Works DepartmentlWater Services Division evaluated the water supplies and customer demands, and concluded that shutting down the reservoir on a short-term basis would not inhibit the City's ability to provide water to its customers. Back-up water supplies are available from the Vandenberg Well, Columbus-Tustin Well, and Main Street Facility, each providing approximately 2.0 MG of emergency supply. In November 2004, the City recommended demolition and replacement of the Rawlings Reservoir. As part of the proposed project, the existing Rawlings Reservoir would be replaced at the same site to increase overall system storage capacity to 13.83 MG. This represents an increase of 2.0 MG of storage compared to previous conditions and would provide improved system-wide operational, fire, and emergency storage. It should be noted that after the operational and fire-flow storage is depleted, back-up water supplies for emergency purposes are provided from the Vandenberg Well, Columbus-Tustin Well, and Main Street Facility each providing approximately 2.0 MG of emergency supply. Additionally, if needed, back-up water supplies are also available via the City's existing emergency interconnections on a temporary basis from neighboring agencies. The proposed project would provide additional emergency water storage capacity to off-set the need to use these back-up water sources. DISCUSSION: The Rawlings Reservoir Replacement project involves the following components which are described below: (1) demolition of the existing reservoir, (2) construction of two new 3 MG water tanks on-site and associated improvements, and (3) construction of off-site storm drain facilities. Reservoir Demolition The proposed project includes demolition of the existing 3.82 MG reservoir. During the first stage of demolition, the existing reservoir roof, roof-support columns, perimeter side walls to grade, and the reservoir membrane liner would be removed. Asbestos containing materials have been identified in the existing roof mastic; floor and wall mastic; and in the wall fiberboard. These materials would be removed and disposed of in accordance with applicable procedures established by state and local agencies. In the second phase of demolition, the remaining portion of the existing reservoir would be removed, including the perimeter sidewall below grade elevation, the asphalt liner, and the column bases. Demolition of the existing reservoir is estimated to take approximately two months. The existing booster pump station located in the southem portion of the site would be shut down during the demolition and construction phases; however, it would not be removed. Design Review 06-008 April 17, 2006 Page 4 The City would provide water to the upper pressure zones through its East Orange County Water District connections. The reservoir structure to be demolished is approximately 52,000 square feet. Equipment to be used for demolition activities includes a crane, a scissor-lift, a backhoe/front-end loader, and a bulldozer. Approximately four dump trucks would be required to haul demolition materials. New Reservoir Construction and On-Site Improvements The existing reservoir would be replaced with two partially buried pre-stressed concrete domestic water tanks. The preliminary design and cross sections of these tanks is depicted in Attachment B. The two new 3.0 MG concrete water tanks would be circular with a floor elevation of 273 feet above mean sea level (amsl), seven feet lower than the existing reservoir (280 feet amsl). The new tanks would have a water depth of 30 feet; be 142 feet in diameter; and have an elevation of 307 feet amsl, one foot higher than the existing reservoir. The top of the new tanks would be lower than the existing reservoir's wooden roof structure. The new tanks would be located one behind the other; construction of the tanks would be staggered (north tank and then the south tank). Shoring would be placed and the site excavated to approximately seven feet below the existing elevation. The north tank would be buried, with the top three feet aboveground. The area behind this tank would be paved with asphalt or concrete to provide access for City vehicles for maintenance and inspection purposes. The steel hoop reinforcement in the concrete sidewall and the tendons from the base to the sidewall allow the reservoir to flex, if necessary, without failing. The southern tank would be partially buried, with approximately 26 vertical feet of the tank face exposed on the southwest-facing side. A graded and landscaped slope would be provided around the exposed portion of the front tank. New underground water pipelines and valves would connect the existing booster pump station to each new tank. The existing masonry block wall for the booster pump station would be extended across the full front of the site, adjacent to Foothill Boulevard. On the east and west sides of the project site, new chain-link fencing would be installed to replace the existing chain-link fence. The access gate on the northeastem end of the site would be enlarged to improve access to the tanks. An additional gate may be added to provide access from Foothill Boulevard on the west site of the booster pump station. Concrete sidewalk, curb, and gutter would be constructed along the project site's Foothill Boulevard frontage. Landscaping may consist of native and/or omamental plants and would be planted along the perimeter of the site. The plant material would be selected to provide view screening of reservoir facilities. The exterior of the exposed portions of the two new concrete replacement tanks would receive appropriate coloration treatment to further screen and blend the facilities into and with the proposed landscaping and surrounding area. Design Review 06-008 April 17, 2006 Page 5 Based on the current project design, 20,000 cubic yards of earthwork would be removed from the project site during construction, and 40,000 cubic yards would be used following completion of the reservoir construction for backfill. During reservoir construction the following equipment would be used: a crane, a scissor-lift, a backhoe/front-end loader, and a concrete pump. Concrete and delivery truck trips as well as construction-worker vehicular trips would also occur during construction. It is estimated that there would be 5 truck trips and 12 vehicle trips on an average day. Off-Site Proiect Features Runoff from the project site would be collected in new on-site storm drain lines that would connect to a new storm drain to be installed in Foothill Boulevard. There are two options under consideration for the storm drain lines within Foothill Boulevard and both options are addressed in this Initial Study. Option 1 would extend to the west approximately 2,800 feet to the Orange County Flood Control District's (OCFCD) 63-inch reinforced concrete pipe in Hewes Street. Option 2 would extend to the east approximately 850 feet to the OCFCD's 6-foot by 6-foot reinforced concrete box along Newport Avenue. For each option, the storm drain would be installed in the existing public street right-of-way. Environmental Analysis A Final Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project (Exhibit A of Resolution No. 06-49). The attached Initial Study discusses potential impact categories and appropriate mitigation measures. Any potential impacts can be mitigated to a level of insignificance and mitigation measures are listed in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. The public comments period for the environmental documents was from December 22, 2005, to January 20, 2006. The City received five (5) comment letters from state, regional, and local agencies, and three (3) comment letters from individuals. Comments were also received from the public at an informational meeting which was held on January 12, 2006. There was also a presentation on the project given at the North Tustin Advisory Committee meeting on February 15, 2006. The City of Tustin, as the lead agency, is not required to prepare formal responses to comments received on the IS/MND; however, the City of Tustin has elected to prepare written responses to comments. Each comment letter received is included in Section 2 of the Responses to Comments document and is immediately followed by the City's response. Responses to comments made at the January 12, 2006, community meeting are also provided. Mitigation Monitoring And Reporting Program A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) designed to ensure compliance with mitigation measures that are required to avoid or substantially lessen the significant effects of the Project identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared to meet the requirements of Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code. The MMRP, which is attached Design Review 06-008 April 17, 2006 Page 6 as Exhibit B to Resolution No. 06-49 provides a checklist of mitigation measures and implementation measures (existing regulatory requirements) identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project and which Program is proposed to be adopted if the Project is approved. ESTIMATED PROJECT SCHEDULE Reservoir construction would take approximately 22 months as follows: site excavation and grading - 2 months; new tank construction - 15 months; site back fill - 1 month; pipeline construction and other appurtenances - 2 months; site paving - 1 month; and clean-up/demobilization - 1 month.

The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows: I. The City Council finds and determines as follows: A. That Design Review 06-008 is considered a "Project" pursuant to the terms of the California Environmental Quality Act; B. An Initial Study and a Mitigated Negative Declaration have been prepared for this project and distributed for public review. The Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration evaluated the implications of the proposed Rawlings Reservoir Replacement project. C. Prior to approving of the Project, the City Council evaluated the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration and determined that, with incorporation of the mitigation measures, the project would not have a significant effect on the environment. D. That the Mitigated Negative Declaration was advertised for public review for 30 days in compliance with Section 15105 of CEQA. E. The City Council of the City of Tustin has considered evidence presented by the Community Development Director and other interested parties regarding the subject Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, including the Responses to Comments, at the April 17, 2006, meeting. II. A Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration, attached hereto as Exhibit A, has been completed in compliance with CEQA and State guidelines. The City Council has received and considered the information contained in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, including the Responses to Comments, prior to recommending approval of the proposed Project and finds that it adequately discusses the environmental effects of the proposed project. On the basis of the initial study and comments received during the public review process, the City Council finds that although the proposed project could have impacts, there will not be a significant effect because mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration mitigate any potential significant effects to a point where clearly no significant effect would occur. In addition, the City Council finds that the project involves no Resolution No. 06-49 Page 2 potential for any adverse effect, either individually or cumulatively, on wildlife resources as defined in Section 711.2 of the Fish and Game Code. The City Council hereby adopts the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration for the purpose of approving Design Review 06-008, and adopts a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, attached hereto as Exhibit B.

In summary, the proposed project involves the demolition of an existing water reservoir and the construction and operation of two new reservoirs. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080(c)(2), the City of Tustin determined that a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was the appropriate environmental document for the project. Public Resources Code Section 21091(f) and the CEOA Guidelines Section 15074 require that the lead agency must consider the MND before approving the project. Specifically, Section 15074(b) states: "Prior to approving a project, the decision making body of the lead agency shall consider the proposed negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration together with any comments received during the public review process. The decision making body shall adopt the proposed negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration only if it finds on the basis of the whole record before it (including the initial study and any comments received), that there is no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant effect on the environment and that the negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration reflects the lead agency's independent judgment and analysis.'

California 92780 NOTICE OF COMPLETION OF A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE RAWLINGS RESERVOIR REPLACEMENT PROJECT (SCH# 2006011002) " Dear Mr. Reekstin: The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has received your submitted NotiC$ of Completion and Initial Study for a Mitigated Negative Declaration (NO) for the above-mentioned project. Your document states the Project Description as: 'The proposed project involves the demolition of the existing 4.2 million gallon Rawlings Reservoir and the construction of two new 3.0 million gallon concnate domestic water tanks within the same site." Based on the naview of the submitted document DTSC has comments as follows: 1) The NO should identify the curnsnt or historic uses at the project site that may } have nasulted In a naJease of hazardous wastes/substances. 1 The NO should identify the known or potentially contaminated sites within the proposed Project area. For all identified sites. the NO should evaluate whether conditlons at the site may pose a threat to human health or the environment. Following are the databases of some of the regulatory agencies: National Priorities List (NPL): A list maintained by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.EPA). 2 2) . . Site Mitlgation Program Property Database (formerly CaISites): A Database primarily used by the Califomia Department of Toxic Substances Control. Printed on Recycled Paper Mr. Scott Reekstin January 27,2006 Page 2 . Resource Conservation and Recovery Infonnatlon System (RCRIS): A database of RCRA facilities that Is maintained by U.S. EPA. . Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Information System (CERCLiS): A database of CERCLA sites that is maintained by U.S.EPA. . Solid Waste Information System (SWIS): A database provided by the California Integrated Waste Management Board which consists of both open as well as closed and Inactive solid waste disposal facilities and transfer stations. . Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUST) / Spills, Leaks, Investigations and Cleanups (SLlC): A list that Is maintained by Regional Water Quality Control Boards. . Local Counties and CltJes maintain lists for hazardous substances cleanup sites and leaking underground storage tanks. . The United States Army Corps of Engineers, 911 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California, 90017, (213) 452-3908, maintains a list of Fonner1y Used Defense Sites (FUDS). 3) The NO should identify the mechanism to InltJate any required investigation and/or ramedlatlon for any site that may be contaminated, and the government agency to provide appropriate regulatory oversight If hazardous materials or wastes were stored and used at the site, a Site Assessment could detennine if a release had occurred. If so, further studies should be carried out to delineate the nature and extent of the contamination, and the potential threat to public health and/or the environment should be evaluated. It may be necessary to determine if an expedited rasponse action is required to reduce existing or potential threats to public health or the environment. If no Immediate threat exists, the final ramedy should be Implemented In compliance with state regulations and policies. 4) All environmental investigations, sampling and/or remediation for the site should be conducted under a Workplan approved and overseen by a regulatory agency that has jurisdiction to oversee hazardous substance cleanup. The findings of any investigations, including Phase I and II investigations should be summarized in the document. All sampling results in which hazardous substances were found should be clearly summarized in a table. 2 cont. 3 4 Mr. Scott Reekstin January 27, 2006 Page 3 5) Proper investigation, sampling and remedial actions overseen by a regulatory } agency, if necessary, should be conducted at the site prior to the new 5 development or any construction. All closure, certification or remediation approval reports by these agencies should be included in the NO. 6) If any property adjacent to the project site is contaminated with hazardous chemicels, and if the proposed project Is within 2,000 feet from a contaminated site. then the proposed development may fall within the "Border Zone of a 6 Contaminated Property." Appropriate precautions should be taken prior to construction if the proposed project'is-within a Border Zone Property. 7) Your document states: "Asbestos is present in the reservoir's.. .mastic and fiberboard. The contractor shall submit an Asbestos Management Progrem..." If buildings or other structures, asphalt or concrete-paved surface areas are being planned to be demolished. an investigation should be conducted for the 7 presence of other related hazardous chemicals. lead-besed paints or products, and mercury. If such materials are identified. proper precautions should be taken during demolition activities. Additionally, the contaminants should be remediated in compliance with California environmental regulations and policies. 8) The project construction may require soil excavation and soil filling in certain areas. Appropriate sampling is required prior to disposal of the excavated soil. If the soil is contaminated, properly dispose of it rather than placing it in another location. Land Disposal Restrictions may be applicable to these soils. Also, if 8 the project proposes to import soil to backfill the areas excavated, proper sampling should be conducted to make sure that the imported soil is free of contamination. 9) Human health and the environment of sensitive receptors should be protected during the construction or demolition activities. A study of the site overseen by the appropriate government agency should be conducted to determine if there 9 are, have been, or will be, any releases of hazardous materials that may pose a risk to human health or the environment. 10) If it is determined that hazardous wastes are, or will be, generated by the proposed operations, the wastes must be managed in accordance with the California Hazardous Waste Control Law (California Health and Safety Code, 10 Division 20, chapter 6.5) and the Hazardous Waste Control Regulations (California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 4.5). Mr. Scott Reekstin January 27,2006 Page 4 11) If it is detennined that hazardous wastes are or will be genereted and the wastes are (a) stored in tanks or containers for more than ninety days, (b) treated onslte. or (c) disposed of on site. then a permit from DTSC may be required. If so, the facility should contact DTSC at (714) 484-5423 to Initiate pre application discussions and determine the permitting process applicable to the facility. 12) If it Is determined that hazardous wastes will be ganerated. the facility should obtain a United States Environmental Protection Agency Identification Number by contacting (800) 618-6942. 13) Certain hazardous waste treatment processes may require authorization from the local Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA). Information about the requirement for authorization can be obtained by contacting your local CUPA. 10 cont. 14) If the project plans include discharging wastewater to storm drein, you may be required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit from the overseeing Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). }11 }12 15) If during construction/demolition of the project. the soil and/or groundwater contamination is suspected, construction/demolition in the area wouid cease and appropriate health and safety procedures should be implemented. DTSC provides guidance for cleanup oversight through the Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) for other parties. For additional information on the VCP. please visit DTSC's web site at www.dtsc.ca.gov.

The existing environmental setting of the project site is described in Section 2.1 of the ISIMND. As noted in Section 2.2, Project Background, the project site has been developed with a water reservoir and associated facilities since 1971. Prior to the construction of the current reservoir, the site was developed with a private residence. These uses have not resulted in the release of hazardous waste/substances. 2. Based on a records search conducted by Environmental Data Resources Inc. (EDR), dated February 3, 2006, and as reported by The EDR Radius Map with GeoCheck, the project site is identified on the HAZNET database for asbestos-containing waste. However, despite the presence of asbestos containing material (ACM), no actual release of ACM has ever occurred at the site and no remedial action has ever been required. The potential impact from the presence of asbestos-containing materials on site is analyzed in Section 5.VII of the IS/MND, Hazards and Hazardous Materials and is based on a comprehensive Asbestos and Lead Survey that was conducted at the site. While the existing reservoir does have asbestos-containing materials, consistent with information reported in the EDR report, the removal, transportation and disposal of ACM during cOnstruction would be conducted in strict compliance with applicable federal, state and local regulations including, but not limited to, South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1403. In addition, the contractor would be required to submit an Asbestos Management Program to the City's Department of Public Works prior to issuance of any grading permit in accordance with Mitigation Measure (MM) 7-1. 3. As discussed in Section 5.VII of the IS/MND, Hazardous and Hazardous Materials. the only hazardous materials known to occur on site is asbestos-containing materials. In order to ensure continued protection of human health and the environment of sensitive receptors, all project-related demolition activities shall comply with Southern California Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1403-Asbestos Emissions From Demolition/Renovation Activities. In addition to compliance with Rule 1403, the Asbestos Abatement Contractor shall comply with applicable regulations set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration, and the Department of Health Services. 4. MM 7-1 (page 5-18 of the IS/MND) requires the preparation of an Asbestos Management Program prior to the issuance of a demolition permit for the existing reservoir structures. There are no other hazardous substances on site that require investigation, sampling and/or remediation. 5. The removal of asbestos-containing material on site would be completed prior to construction or the new reservoirs and would be conducted in accordance with requirements of the Asbestos Management Program prepared for the project site. Also refer to response to comment 3 above. 6. Based information presented in The EDR Radius Map with GeoCheck, no contaminated sites or sites that qualify as "Border Zone Properties" were identified within 2,000 feet of the project site. R.IProjects\ T ustinWOO3\RTC-040606_ doc 2.3 Responses to Comments Rawlings Reservoir Replacement Project Responses to Comments 7. As noted in Section 5,V1I of the IS/MND, an asbestos and lead survey was conducted for the proposed project in compliance with all regulatory agency requirements, including SCAQMD Rule 1403, and included all structures and facilities to be demolished. Asbestos- containing materials were the only hazardous materials located on site. There was no presence of materials with lead levels at or above the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Guidelines. No other hazardous materials or chemicals were detected. 8. Prior to development of the site with the existing water reservoir, the project site was developed with a residential use. Based on review of historic photographs, and the information provided in the EDR records search, it is not anticipated that the on-site soils have been contaminated. However, the on-site soils would be sampled prior to disposal. Should contaminated soils be encountered they would be disposed of properly. Soils used for backfill after the new reservoirs are constructed would also be sampled; contaminated soils would not be used. 9. Based on investigation of the project site, review of applicable records for hazardous materials, and historic use of the site as a private residence, there is no evidence that the project site has been subject to improper handling or release of chemicals or other hazardous materials. The IS/MND identifies that asbestos-containing materials are located on site and notes that these materials can become friable if damaged or disturbed. Removal of these materials would be conducted in accordance with Standard Condition (SC) 7-1 and MM 7-1 to reduce potential impacts to a level considered less than significant. 10. As identified in Section 5.VII, item (c) of the IS/MND (page 5-17), the proposed water reservoir replacement project does not include the construction of any uses that would involve the use, storage, or transport of hazardous materials resulting in the risk of release or emission of hazardous materials. 11. As identified in Section 5,V1II, Hydrology and Water Quality, item (f) (page 5-19), the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) has issued a statewide, general National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit (NPDES No. CAS000002) for stormwater discharges from construction sites with a disturbance area of one or more acres, including the project site. This general permit requires that individual construction sites obtain individual NPDES permits for stormwater discharges or be covered by the Construction General Permit. Per SC 8-1, a Notice of Intent to obtain coverage under the Construction General Permit would be filed for the project. Long-term operation of the proposed water reservoir would not involve any discharge of wastewater into the stormdrain system. 12. Based on investigation of the project site and review of applicable records, there is no evidence of soil and/or groundwater contamination on site. However, should such contamination be suspected, demolition and construction activities would cease and health and safety measures would be implemented in compliance with applicable local, state, and federal requirements.

The comment acknowledges receipt and review of the IS/MND and requests written responses to the comments contained within the letter. Written responses are provided below. 2. SC 7-1 (page 5-18) of the IS/MND acknowledges that compliance with SCAQMD Rule 1403 (Asbestos Emissions From Demolition/Renovation Activities) is required. Asbestos removal work would be conducted in an isolated work area. Additionally, engineering controls would be implemented which may include, but not be limited to: the use of High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration systems which would operate continuously from the commencement of work until the final clearance is achieved; wet removal methods; HEPA vacuums; and perimeter air sampling with on- and off-site analysis. Additionally, although not required, asbestos removal would be monitored by an independent environmental consulting firm retained by the City to ensure compliance with the regulations set forth in SCAQMD Rule 1403. Should any form of non- compliance be observed, the independent consultant would immediately notify the City and the City would order the contractor to cease all ACM removal activity until the non- compliance issue is resolved to the satisfaction of the City. 3. The air quality analysis conducted for the proposed project was completed in accordance with current SCAQMD analysis requirements as specified in SCAQMD's CEQA Handbook. SCAQMD has not mandated that local agencies conduct localized air quality analyses for all development projects (see AQMD Fact Sheet, "Localized Significance Thresholds' [LSTS]). The only required analysis is the analysis set forth in the CEQA Handbook, which is the analysis that has properly been conducted for this project. The purpose behind SCAQMD's development of LSTs was merely to provide lead agencies with a tool for assessing the localized air quality impacts of the project should an agency decide to conduct such an analysis. (lQ., p.2). In this case, the City elected not to conduct a localized air quality analysis because the project site is not located within an area that is currently plagued by disproportionately higher levels of air pollution, such as, for example, industrial areas or transit corridors. The general area is primarily residential. Consistent with the methodology for analyzing construction emissions established in the SCAQMD handbook and as presented in Section 5.111 of the IS/MND, with mitigation, the proposed project would not exceed any of the SCAQMD's significance thresholds. It is important to note that pollutant emissions would only occur temporarily during construction. These emissions would cease upon project completion. It should be noted that the IS/MND did identify PM,o emissions to be significant prior to mitigation. The air quality mitigation measure included in the IS/MND (MM 3-1) indicates that the contract specifications shall require compliance with all applicable SCAQMD Rules and Regulations including Rule 403 to reduce the proposed project's potential PM,o impacts. Specific measures which will be required of the contractor are listed in the IS/MND. As a result, construction of the proposed project will not exceed SCAQMD's significance threshold for PM,o. On the contrary, PM,o emissions will be well below SCAQMD's daily significance threshold (refer to Table 3 on page 5-7 of the IS/MND). R:\projeds\Tustin\JOO3\RTC-040606. doc 2-6 Responses to Comments Rawlings Reservoir Replacement Project Responses to Comments With respect to CO and NOx emissions, the air quality analysis performed for the proposed project indicates that construction of the proposed project would not result in an exceedance of SCAQMD's thresholds for these criteria pollutants (refer to Tables 2, 3, and 4 in the ISIMND). However, in a good faith effort to minimize potential construction-related air quality impacts to the greatest extent feasible, the City hereby incorporates the following mitigation measures in the ISIMND. This mitigation measure does not change the conclusions of the IS/MND as presented. MM 3-2 Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the Community Development Department shall verify that the following requirements are included on the contractor specifications: · all equipment shall be properly tuned and maintained in accordance with the manufacturers' specifications · engines on trucks and vehicles in loading and unloading queues shall be turned off when not in use to reduce vehicle emissions · construction activity shall utilize electricity from power poles rather than temporary diesel or gasoline power generators, to the extent feasible · all on-site mobile equipment used during construction shall be powered by alternative fuel sources, where feasible · all on-site heavy-duty construction equipment shall be equipped with diesel particulate traps to the extent that this equipments is available at the time the contracts are awarded · emulsified diesel fuel shall be used in diesel-fueled construction equipment that is not equipped with diesel particulate traps to reduce NOx emissions. It should also be noted that on-site construction activities would be monitored on a daily basis by City staff. This would include visual monitoring to ensure that dust emissions are not dispersing to adjacent properties. Additionally, the City would implement a public outreach program for the project to maintain communication between the community and the City during construction phases. This will include provision of a "call-in" number to report any concerns during implementation of the project.

Scott From: Mike Fioravanti (m4avanti@cox.net) Sent: Monday, January 16, 2006 4:56 PM To: Doug Davert Subject: Follow-up on Rawlings Reservoir project HI Doug - I'm following up on our emall exchanges last week regarding the Rawlings Reservoir project as well as our brief phone conversation today. I want to share with you my concerns from the community meeting last Thursday night at FHS now that I have much more solid information. The team that did the presentation to the small group ot property owners did a fine job and they were very receptive to the concerns expressed by those In attendance. Unfortunately, many people In this neighborhood didn't know about the meeting and others didn't even know about the project. I Initially heard about It through word-ot-mouth. My five main concerns for this project are as follows: ~bllc NotJfl~t19ns The team talked about contacting the property owners within 500' of the project site. According to my calculations that's approximately 33 homes. In speaking with many of my neighbors this weekend, It appears that the majority have NOT been contacted. Some received a letter from the City of Tustin along with the Initial Study and others received just a letter. I do think an initial effort was put forth by the City of Tustin but It wasn't complete (even though $75K was budgeted for public outreach). All of the property owners within 500' should have received the same Information at the same time. Why were some given the study and others not even notified (inclUding myself)? 1 3D-Day Revtl!!W ...Comment PerloJf I am perplexed why the 30-day public comment period was launched on December 22nd. This period Is typically the busiest time of year for most people. Plus, there are several major holidays during this 30-day window In which the City of Tustin offices are closed. That means roughly 18 business days are available for the public to contact the city directly which Is not much time before the January 20th cut-off date for questions. We were told at the meeting that questions would be taken after January 20th and If that is tile case, then why Impose a cut-off date altogether? 2 CG.unb'.Qf.Or.llllgtl Land Us. Approva's We learned that the Rawlings Reservoir sits on land owned by the City of Tustin, like an Island, with the surrounding land managed by the County of Orange. That stili means, however, that approvals must be obtained by the County of Orange Planning Department AND the North Tustin Advisory Committee (NTAC). At the meeting I asked If NTAC had been contacted and the response was: 'Our mailing was sent back to us as the NTAC address was Incorrect". That Is not a Justifiable reason to bypass NTAC's board for approval of the project -- It simply means that someone must make more of an effort to get the right Information (the County of Orange Planning Dept. has the right address If necessary). 3 Asbestos RemovllLP.IM I asked the team what the plan Is for removing the asbestos materials at the project site. The response was that all ot the asbestos would be handled In accordance to the AQMD's }4 01/24/2006 Page 2 of2 requirements. Nice to hear but I asked "when" the plan would be ready for review. They told us "at a later date" which seemed very vague considering the Importance of this Issue. I subsequently learned In re-readlng the Inltla' Study (atter the meeting) that the selected contractor "shall submit an Asbestos Management Program (AMP) to the Public Works Department". That tells me the plan will be developed AFTER the project Is approved by the Tustin City Council. 4 cont. Given that this project site Is In close proximity to three schools (Foothill, Hlllvlew and Hewes) roughly 4,000 people could be greatly effected. While It might be "standard operating procedure" to develop the plan later on, It would be tar better for the community to know the details now. Personally, I can't otter my support tor the project without all ot the details and this Is the most Important ot all. ~c~:= trc-:nancern and tar less Important than the previous point. Regardless, the City ot Tustin} should present the landscape plan to the public so that we have something to comment on during the 30-day review period. Yes, I understand that this Is "not required" at this point In the project 5 but It makes solid sense to have the details now. From my viewpoint, this project Is moving too quickly and the public has not had enough time to } (a) be notltled, and (b) be presented with ALL ot the necessary facts. I am requesting the City ot Tustin extend the review/comment period until atter the asbestos removal and landscaping plans 6 have been presented In a public forum. During this time, approvals must be obtained by the County Planning Department and NTAC as mentioned above. I welcome the opportunity to discuss these points with you In turther detail. Please teel tree to contact me at your earliest convenience. Best, Mike Fioravanti 19331 Gateway Drive North Tustin 714.544.7207 01/24/2006 Rawlings Resarvo;r Replacement Project Responses to Comments Comment Letter 6 Mike Fioravanti January 16, 2006 1. Please refer to Section 1.2 for a discussion of the public notification and review process for the Initial Study and notice of intent to adopt an MND that was conducted by the City of Tustin. Residents within 300 feet of the project site were mailed notifications and adjacent property owners were provided with a copy of the IS/MND. 2. Per CEOA Guidelines Section 15073(a), "the lead agency shall provide a public review period pursuant to Section 15105 of not less than 20 days. When a proposed negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration and initial study are submitted to the State Clearinghouse for review by state agencies, the public review period shall not be less than 30 days, unless a shorter period is approved by the State Clearinghouse under Section 15105(d)." Therefore, the 30-day review period provided by the City of Tustin was in compliance with CEOA requirements. There are no provisionslrestrictions for public review periods occurring during state or federal holidays. As was noted in the comment letter, interested parties were informed at the January 12, 2006, community meeting that public comments would be considered after the official close of the 30-day comment period until the City Council meeting for the project. 3. A lead agency is defined in Section 15367 of the State CEOA Guidelines as "the public agency which has the principal responsibility for carrying out or approving a project." The City of Tustin is the "Lead Agency" for the Rawlings Reservoir Replacement project. A minor component of the proposed project consists of street improvements along Foothill Boulevard, which require an encroachment permit from the County of Orange. Therefore, the County of Orange has only limited jurisdiction over the project and to the extent the encroachment permit process is discretionary, the County would be a Responsible Agency for purposes of CEOA. A notice of intent to adopt the MND was sent to the County of Orange; however, no comment letter was received. Should any input be received prior to the decision-making process, it will be considered. Pursuant to Section 15072(b) of the State CEOA Guidelines, the City of Tustin submitted the Notice of Intent to the "last known name and address" of the North Tustin Advisory Committee (NTAC). The NTAC is an advisory committee that serves the unincorporated area of Orange County which does not include the project site. The proposed project is not subject to review by NTAC. However, the City of Tustin, in good faith, elected to voluntarily present the proposed project to the NTAC at its regularly scheduled meeting on February 15, 2006. 4. As discussed in Response NO.2 to the DTSC letter, MM 7-1 requires the City to prepare an Asbestos Management Program (AMP). While the precise details of the plan have not been finalized, the AMP would comply with the requirements of Rule 1403 and must incorporate the recommendations of the Asbestos and Lead Survey Report (Note that the Asbestos and Lead Survey is available for public review at the Community Development Department counter at Tustin City Hall). Rule 1403 is reproduced in its entirety and included as Attachment A, attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein. This Rule requires the City to notify the SCAQMD prior to demolition activity and sets forth specific requirements for the safe removal, transportation and disposal of asbestos from the project site. Moreover, various details of the proposed ACM removal are described in Response 2 to SCAQMD Comment Letter 4 and again repeated in Response 1 to Comment Letter 7. R: \Projects\ Tuslin\JOO3\RTC-040606.doc 2-9 Responses to Comments Rawlings ResefVOir Replacement Project Responses to Comments 5. As discussed in Section 5.1 of the IS/MND, Aesthetics, the proposed project (which includes implementation of landscaping) would not substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and no significant aesthetic impacts would result. Therefore, no mitigation is required. Preparation of the landscape plan will occur during final design and will be part of the Final Plans and Specifications to be considered by the City Council. 6. As noted in the responses for comments 1 and 2, the City of Tustin has processed a notice of intent to adopt an MND for the Rawlings Reservoir Replacement project in compliance with the requirements of CECA. Subsequent project approvals by the City Council provide additional opportunities for the public to comment on more detailed aspects of the project. R:\ProJects\ TustinUOO3\RTC-040606.doc 2-10 Responses to Comments Comment Letter 7 Dear Mr. Reekstin: We attended the neighborhood meeting for your proposed water towers to be built where the Rawlings Reservoir currently sits. Our home sits directly above the reservoir and the Karetta home sits directly behind us. The following are just a few of our concerns: } 1. The safe removal of the asbestos. Will the AQMD be monitoring the 1 removal? Ifnot, why not? The height of the towers. Although you state that they wiII be no higher than } the current structure, the fact that there are two of them makes the forward tower sit high out of the ground and is a huge concrete wall that did not exist 2 before. Can you make one larger tower so it will sit further back on the lot and not be such a sore thumb? Can the sides of the towerltowers be more esthetic? =r- 3 You will be creating a huge blank canvas for graffiti. This can not be resolVed} 4 with lighting the towers as that would be an even greater nuisance. One of my biggest concerns is the appearance of the structures from the top. Not only are the proposed roofs ugly, but the huge concrete flat area around the back and ~ of the front tower will create glare, heat, and would be visually ugly. We estimate the square footage of concrete and surface area of the the top of the towers to be approx. 40,000 sq. ft, perhaps more. Can you verify this figure? You state that you need it for maintenance so trucks can drive on the concrete apron, but, this seems to be ovcrldll. We would rather see foliage from bushes, and a ladder on the side of the tower to reach the top for maintenance. This project will create dust, rodents, etc. for at least 2 years. How docs the } 6 city plan on cleaning our homes, cars, yards, etc? It is a major concern that the city of Tustin is the de~er, approver and developer of the project. There is no disinterested 3 party to grant approvals, permits, etc. We were all unaware that this island was part of The City of Tustin. Consequently, we, the neighbors, are disenfranchised. We have no city council to appeal to since we are in the county area and you have no govcrmnent entity to watch over you and create a check and balance. The people most effected by this project have not real voice. I am quite certain that if a private developer were proposing such unappealing structures that would sit in the middle of the city, the planning department would be far more concerned with the esthetics and not just the function. If there were complaints about the project being made by city residents, the head of planning and the city council would sit up and listen. Furthermore, we are concerned that we got notification of our 30 days to make our views heard about the project on Dec. 20111. Most of us were in the middle of celebrating the holidays until after New Year and consequently have had little time to digest the information given us. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. These are just a few of our thoughts. Please respond to this letter as soon as possible. 5 7 }, Thank. You, Stephan and Robin Lang Earl Karetta Rawlings RasatvOir Raplacemant Projact Rasponsas to Commants Comment Letter 7 Stephan and Robin Lang Earl Karetta 1. Construction activities for the Rawlings Reservoir Replacement project are under the jurisdiction of the SCAQMD and all project-related construction activities. including demolition and structure removal, must comply with SCAQMD Rule 1403. In accordance with Rule 1403, SCAQMD would be notified of the asbestos removal prior to commencement of the demolition activity. The notification must include key components of the proposed removal which must be consistent with the health and safety procedures outlined in Rule 1403. In addition to compliance with Rule 1403, the Asbestos Abatement Contractor must comply with applicable regulations set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration, and the Department of Health Services. An Asbestos Management Plan must also be prepared pursuant to Mitigation Measure 7-1. Asbestos removal work would be conducted in an isolated work area. Additionally, other engineering controls would be implemented which may include, but not be limited to, the use of High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration systems that would operate continuously from the commencement of work until the final clearance is achieved, wet removal methods, HEPA vacuums, and perimeter air sampling with on- and off-site analysis. Additionally, although not required, the project site would be monitored by an independent environmental consulting firm retained by the City to ensure compliance with the regulations set forth in SCAQMD Rule 1403. Should any form of non- compliance be observed, the independent consultant would immediately notify the City and the City would order the contractor to cease all ACM-removal activity until the non- compliance issue is resolved to the satisfaction of the City. To ensure this independent oversight occurs, the City will impose the following special condition: Haz-1 Prior to issuance of a demolition permit for the existing reservoir, the Community Development Department shall verify that the following requirement is included in the contractor specifications: An independent environmental consulting firm shall be retained and shall be onsite to monitor all removal/handling of asbestos containing material (ACM) conducted by the Asbestos Abatement Contractor, and to ensure compliance with SCAQMD Rule 1403. Should any form of non- compliance be observed, the independent consultant shall notify the City and the City shall order the contractor to cease all ACM-removal activity until the non- compliance issue is resolved to the satisfaction ofthe City. 2. Due to the size and shape of the project site (long and narrow), it is not possible to provide the necessary volume of water storage in a single circular tank; therefore, two tanks are required. The placement of the tanks on the project site is dictated by construction/engineering requirements. Nonetheless, as documented in the IS/MND discussion of the project's potential aesthetics impacts, the project has been designed to ensure that any visual or aesthetic impact would be less than significant. 3. As stated on page 5-1 of the IS/MND, the exposed portion of the front tank as well as non-paved areas of the site would be landscaped and the exterior of the exposed portions of the two tanks would receive coloration treatment to further screen and blend the facilities with the proposed landscaping. It should be noted that the visual simulations of the proposed reservoirs that were presented at the January 12, 2006, community R:\Projects\ T ustinUOO3\RTC-04Q606.dQc 2-11 Responses to Camments Rawlings Rassrvoir Rap/acamant projact Rasponsss to Commants meeting (which was attended by the commenter) represented the pre-landscape condition and were not intended to show the final visual characteristics of the project site. 4. During the construction phase, the police department would periodically patrol the project site. Additionally, during and after construction the project site would be fenced and locked to prevent trespassing and vandalism. It should also be noted that with landscaping of the exposed face of the reservoir tanks, access would be further deterred. 5. The roof area of the existing rectangular reservoir is approximately 38,000 square feet (sf). The roof area of the two new tanks would be approximately 28,200 sf, which is approximately 25 percent less hardscape than the existing reservoir. The perimeter area shown for reservoir access and maintenance would be approximately 22,500 sf. The combined areas of the new roofs and access area would be approximately 50,700 sf. A roadway for access to the roof of each tank is necessary for maintenance. As noted previously, the exposed portion of the front tank as well as non-paved areas of the site would be landscaped, and the exterior of the exposed portions of the two tanks would receive coloration treatment to further screen and blend the facilities with the proposed landscaping. As documented in Section 5.1 of the ISIMND, the project has been designed to ensure that any visual or aesthetic impact would be less than significant. It should also be noted that the location of ladders would not change the need for access of maintenance and inspection vehicles. Multiple roof hatches on each tank are required for safety and for personnel and equipment access, and paved access is necessary to each hatch location. 6. As stated on page 5-9 of the ISIMND, the project would be required to comply with applicable SCAQMD Rules and Regulations, including those related to dust control. Specifically, a fugitive dust control plan would be prepared and submitted to the City of Tustin Public Works Department and would be employed throughout project construction, including grading. With respect to concerns raised regarding rodents, residential areas do not provide sufficient natural resources for native wildlife species including but not limited to mice or other small animals that may inhabit the project site. In addition, project construction activity will largely be confined to currently disturbed areas as opposed to undeveloped densely vegetated areas that may provide shelter to rodents. There is no evidence that the project would create a significant rodent problem in this neighborhood. Therefore, no mitigation is required. It should also be noted that the City of Tustin would conduct a public outreach program throughout the construction phase of the project. As part of this program, surrounding residents would be notified of whom to contact during construction if they have any concerns/complaints. Specific concems would be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. 7. A lead agency is defined in Section 15367 of the State CEQA Guidelines as "the pUblic agency which has the principal responsibility for carrying out or approving a project." The City of Tustin is the "lead Agency' for the Rawlings Reservoir Replacement project. The proposed project includes street improvements along Foothill Boulevard, which requires approval from the County of Orange before this component of the project can be initiated. Therefore, the County of Orange is a ResponSible Agency. A notice of intent to adopt the MND was sent to the County of Orange; however, no comment letter was R:IProjecls\T ustin\JOO3\RTC-04Q606. doc 2-12 Responses to Comments Rawling.

The City of Tustin has solicited input from property owners in the area surrounding the project site and would continue to accept and consider comments from any interested parties. As noted previously, the City would implement a pUblic outreach program for the project to maintain communication throughout the project design and construction phases. 8. Per CECA Guidelines Section 15073(a), "the lead agency shall provide a public review period pursuant to Section 15105 of not less than 20 days. When a proposed negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration and initial study are submitted to the State Clearinghouse for review by state agencies, the public review period shall not be less than 30 days, unless a shorter period is approved by the State Clearinghouse under Section 15105(d)." Therefore, the 30-day review period provided by the City of Tustin was in compliance with CECA requirements. There are no provisions/restrictions for publiC review periods occurring during state or federal holidays.

As noted in Section 5.XI, Noise, construction-related noise would occur during the least noise sensitive daytime hours between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays. No construction activity would be allowed on Sundays or on City-observed federal holidays. In addition, a temporary sound barrier would be constructed, "residential grade" mufflers would be required on construction equipment, and construction hours would be prominently posted on the site to ensure that construction activity begins and ends at the hours specified above (see Special Conditions Noise-1, Noise-2, and Noise-3 as described on page 5-26 of the IS/MND). 3. Project construction activities would be in compliance with SCAQMD Rule 403, which imposes strict requirements on fugitive dust emission generation and control. The rules are especially restrictive in regards to dust control and do not allow any visible particulates to migrate off site. Section 5.11 of the IS/MND, Air Quality, indicates that no significant impacts would occur with implementation of the required mitigation (refer to MM 3-1). 4. Although not required, the project site would be monitored by an independent environmental consulting firm to ensure compliance with the regulations set forth in SCAQMD Rule 1403. Should any form of non-compliance be observed, the independent consultant would immediately notify the City and the City would order the contractor to cease all asbestos containing material-removal activity until the non-compliance issue is resolved to the satisfaction of the City. As previously noted, the City has included a special condition for monitoring of compliance with SCAQMD Rule 1403. With respect to fugitive dust, on-site construction activities would be monitored on a daily basis by City staff. This would include visual monitoring to ensure that dust emissions are not dispersing to adjacent properties. Additionally, the City would implement a public outreach program for the project to maintain communication throughout the project design and construction phases. 5.

Vibratory impacts associated with construction are usually due to either blasting or pile driving operations. Since this project does not incorporate either blasting or pile driving, no significant vibration impacts are anticipated. 7. As documented in the IS/MND, the project would have either no impact, a less than significant impact, or a less than significant impact with mitigation, for each environmental resource area evaluated in the IS/MND. There is no evidence that the project would result in any significant adverse impact on the structural integrity of any nearby residential or school property. Therefore, a pre-project, mid-project and early post-project assessment of nearby property is not required. 8. As noted in Response No.7, there is no evidence that this project would have any potential impact on the health, safety, and welfare of vulnerable populations within the proximity of the project. The City would take all necessary precautions to ensure the adjacent sensitive receptors and property are adequately protected during project construction. In addition to ensuring that contractors comply with all applicable federal, state and local health requirements, additional measures would be incorporated into the project to address the potential impacts of the project. As documented in the IS/MND and its supporting technical data, all potentially significant impacts (most of which would occur on a temporary basis during construction only) would be mitigated to a less than significant level. These impacts include potential impacts from airborne asbestos and noise. Other construction related impacts, including impacts from construction emissions from heavy equipment and dust, would be less than significant. Pollutant emissions generated during construction would be below applicable South Coast Air Quality Management District significance thresholds (see IS/MND, Table 4). Based on the conclusions of the IS/MND, there is no evidence that any injury or harm would occur to people or property in the vicinity of the project; therefore, implementation of the measures recommended in this comment, such as 'ameliorative repair and reparations' and relocation of certain segments of the population in this area is not required under CEOA. 9. The comment is noted and will be taken into consideration by the decision makers. R:\Projects\TustinIJOO3\RTC..Q40606. doc 2-15 Responses to Comments Rawling. Reservoir Replacement Project Response. to Comment. 2.2 RESPONSE TO COMMENTS RECEIVED AT PUBLIC INPUT MEETING. JANUARY 12. 2006 As previously discussed in Section 1, Introduction, the City of Tustin held a community meeting at Foothill High School on January 12, 2006. Comments were noted during the meeting and are addressed below. A list of meeting attendees is provided following these responses to comments. Comment 1: Will residents receive assurance that Rule 1403 (concerning asbestos removal) be fully complied with? Response: Standard Condition 7-1 (page 5-18) of the IS/MND acknowledges that compliance with SCAOMD Rule 1403 (Asbestos Emissions From Demolitionl Renovation Activities) is required. National Econ Corporation, an independent environmental consulting firm, would have an experienced project technician on site full time to observe the asbestos removal conducted by the Asbestos Abatement Contractor and ensure compliance with Rule 1403. By law, the Asbestos Abatement Contractor must notify SCAOMD in writing of their intention to remove the asbestos 14 calendar days prior to the start of any abatement. This allows. SCAOMD to make unannounced visits to the site at any time to ensure compliance. In addition to complying with Rule 1403, the Asbestos Abatement Contractor must at all times comply with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, Department of Health Services (DHS) regulations, and other regulations that apply to this project. National Econ Corporation's on-site technicians are rigorously trained in all aspects of asbestos project monitoring and would not hesitate to contact the City if any non-compliance is observed. Comment 2: Will the project be fully enclosed during asbestos removal? (Clarification of question No.1) Response: Asbestos removal work would be conducted in an isolated work area. Additionally, other engineering controls would be implemented which may include, but not be limited to, the use of High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration systems that would operate continuously from the commencement of work until the final clearance is achieved, wet removal methods, HEPA vacuums, and perimeter air sampling with on and off-site analysis. Comment 3: Do we know the name of the company who will be performing the asbestos removal? Response: The Asbestos Abatement Contractor has not yet been determined. The City of Tustin would put the project (design and construction) out for public bid. A component of this bid package is the asbestos removal specifications to be prepared by National Econ Corporation, Part of the bid process is a mandatory site visit by all the prospective Asbestos Abatement Contractors. This site visit would afford the prospective bidders the opportunity to see the project first hand and to ask any questions of the Independent Environmental Consultant who would be monitoring the project from commencement to completion. The prospective Asbestos Abatement Contractors would be issued a copy of the removal specifications outlining all regulatory requirements that would be rigorously enforced. The prospective bidders would then compile their bids for R:\Projects\ TuslinWOO3\RTC-Q40606. doc 2-16 Responses to Comments Rawling. Rasarvoir Rapiacemant Projact Rasponsa. to Commant. submission no later than a date and time that would be detennined by the City of Tustin. The City of Tustin would then begin a thorough review process of each bid to determine the eligibility and competence of each bidder. The City of Tustin would work closely with the Environmental Consultant during this review. At the end of the review process, the most qualified bidder would be given the City's recommendation for submission to the Tustin City Council for approval. If approval is authorized by the City Council, the project would be awarded to that bidder. A successful bidder will have demonstrated not only competitive prices, but experience with this type of project, a good safety record, adequate insurance, bonding, etc. Comment 4: Can local residents be notified of the name of the winning bidder? Response: The City of Tustin provides public notification of all City Council meetings, including agenda items. As noted above, the Final Plans and Specifications for the Rawlings Reservoir Replacement must be approved by the City Council and the recommended bidder would be included in the public notification for the City Council meeting. Comment 5: What about dust control? (From the School District, should they get special filters, change them more often, etc.?) Response: As stated on page 5-9 of the IS/MND, the project would be required to comply with applicable SCAQMD Rules and Regulations, including those related to dust control. Specifically, a fugitive dust control plan would be prepared and submitted to the City of Tustin Public Works Department and would be employed throughout the grading phase of project construction. Comment 6: Will there be any remediation or assistance to remove dust from houses, cars, and plants? Response: The only phase of construction that could generate significant dust emissions is the grading phase. However, as documented in the IS/MND (Table 3), with implementation of the extensive dust control measures set forth in Mitigation Measure 3-1, potential off-site dust emissions would be less than significant. Nonetheless, the City of Tustin would conduct a public outreach program throughout the construction phase of the project. As part of this program, surrounding residents would be notified of whom to contact during construction if they have any concerns/complaints. Specific concerns/complaints, including those associated with dust, would be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Comment 7: When grading, what will be done regarding rodent infestation? Will this be remediated and how will this be accomplished? Response: See Response 6 to Comment Letter 7 regarding the project's potential to create a rodent problem in the neighborhood. Comment 8: Where will the noise barriers be placed? Describe the size of the barriers and the length of time the barriers will be in place. Response: The temporary noise barrier would be placed along the north and east property lines of the project site. The height of the barrier would initially be 24 feet tall as identified in Special Condition Noise-1 of the IS/MND. The barrier would be R:\ProjeclsIT uslinIJOO3\RTC-0406Q6,doc 2-17 Responses to Comments Rawlings Ra.arvoir Rap/acamanl Projac/ Rasponsa. 10 Cornman!. installed prior to any demolition or grading and would remain in place until no longer required by construction activities. The deep excavation and associated shOring walls would provide noise attenuation and the height of the walls could be reduCed during cohllttuction as appropriate based on the noise levels generated. Additionally, the later phases of construction might not include any significant noise generators, and the City could remove the barrier if this were the case. Comment 9: Will the noise barriers be placed around the homes? Response: The noise barrier would not be placed around the hOmes. As noted previously, the noise barriers would be placed along the north and east property lines of the project site. Comment 10: Clarify, will the barriers really be 24 feet tall? Response: As noted in Special Condition Noise-1 (page 5-26 of the IS/MND), the temporary barrier would be 24 feel high. Also refer to response to comment 8 above. Comment 11: Will there be any pile driving associated with this project? Response: No pile driving is planned or required for the project. Comment 12: Are there any natural gas lines within the project limit area? Available utility information indicates that there is a natural gas pipeline in Foothill Boulevard in front of the project site, but not on the site or in the access roadway along the easterly side of the site. Comment 13: Where will construction trucks access the job site and sit while waiting to access the site? Response: Response: Construction vehicles would park along the curb of Foothill Boulevard while waiting to access the site. Construction vehicles would access the site from the existing access driveway and from a new driveway on the westerly front side of the site. Comment 14: Is the construction duration actually going to be 22 months? Response: Based on currently available project information, project construction is estimated to take approximately 22 months. Construction activities would include demolition of the existing reservoir; site clearing, excavation, and preparation for construction; new tank construction; site backfill; construction of pipelines and related improvements; site paving and landscaping; and final cleanup. The Final Plans and Specifications would provide a specific timeline for construction activities. Comment 15: Is the storm drain pipeline construction included in the original construction timeline? Response: Construction of the new drain line in Foothill Boulevard would take place within the same time period noted above for the proposed project. R. IProjects\Tustin\JOO3\RTC-040606. doc 2-18 Responses to Comments Rawlings Rasarvoir Rap/seemant Projact Rasponsas to Commonts Comment 16: Will there be security at the job site? Response: During the construction phase, the project construction site would be periodically patrolled by the police department. During construction and operation, the site would be fenced and locked restricting access into the site. Comment 17: What about graffiti control on the noise barriers and other portions of the job site? As indicated above, the periodic patrols by the pOlice department would be conducted. Should the noise barriers or other surfaces be vandalized with graffiti, the City would ensure that it is removed immediately which is consistent with city-wide policies. Comment 18: What is the target date for the MND to be presented to City Council? Response: Response: Based on the current project schedule, it is expected that the MND would be presented to the City Council in April 2006. Comment 19: Citizens need more time and facts regarding the MND before it goes to Council. Can it be delayed? Response: Refer to the discussion of the public notification and review process for the IS/MND provided in Section 1.2 of this responses to comment document. Comment 20: Why isn't the asbestos plan completely in place before the MND goes to Council for approval? Response: The Asbestos Management Program (AMP) would not be prepared until the City selects the Asbestos Abatement Contractor. Nonetheless, no grading permit would be issued and no asbestos removal would occur until the AMP is prepared and SCAQMD is properly notified of the details of the removal plan. While the exact details of the AMP have not been defined, the AMP must include procedures that are consistent with the removal, transportation, and disposal procedures that are set forth in SCAQMD Rule 1403. Moreover, the AMP would incorporate the recommendations of the Asbestos and Lead Survey that has already been prepared for the project. The Asbestos and Lead Survey recommended the following measures to address ACM on site: . The AMP should set forth operation and maintenance guidelines to minimize fiber release which may be caused by age, normal wear and tear, delamination, building maintenance, repairs, renovation and other activities which may disturb ACM. . Prior to demolition, or major construction, specifications should be property modified to incorporate the removal of ACM. . If removal of ACM is required in connection with demolition, renovation, or building repair, such work should only be performed by personnel who are appropriately trained, experienced, and registered. Intentional disturbance of ACBM should be performed in a manner such that emissions are controlled. Control measures should include, but not be limited to, wet methods, encapsulation, removal with HEPA-filter equipped vacuums, and R\Projects\T ustin\JOO3\RTC.0406Q6. doc 2-19 Responses to Comments Rawlings Ra.arvoir Replacement Project Response. to Comment. appropriately labeled pOlyethylene bags. HVAC systems in work areas where asbestos is to be abated should be deactivated and the register closed and temporarily sealed. Air monitoring relating to such work should be performed by or under the direct supervision of a California State Certified Asbestos Consultant before, during, and after the abatement work, as required by EPA and other regulations. . California law requires a building owner to provide tenant, employee, and vendor notification within fifteen (15) days of receipt of information identifying the presence of ACBM in their buildings(s) and annually thereafter. Specific notification requirements are outlined in Assembly Bill 3713 and California Health and Safety Code 25915-2519.7. . There are potential liabilities associated with the presence and removal of ACM. Precautionary measures should be taken in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the EPA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and other regulatory agencies. Comment 21: Will the new tanks be taller than the existing tanks? Response: As shown on Exhibit 7 of the IS/MND, the top of the new tanks would be only one foot higher than the roof of the existing reservoir. In addition, the new tanks would have roof vents and access hatches that extend slightly above the finished roof level. Comment 22: Can the City do something to make the roof of the reservoir more aesthetically appealing to the neighbors that look down on it? (e.g., sod roof) Response: For purposes of analysis, it has been assumed that the reservoir roof surface would consist of asphalt with a gravel coating. However, alternative roof treatments may be considered during the design process. The City would ensure that the roof treatment does not cause glare. Comment 23: What about expansive soil problems and potential damage to retaining walls, swimming pools, etc.? Response: The City's design engineer for the project is working with geotechnical engineers and shoring engineers to address the soils issue and to mitigate impacts to nearby retaining walls and swimming pools. Potential impacts related to unstable soils and expansive soils are addressed in Section 5.VI of the IS/MND and would be less than significant with the implementation of current Uniform Building Code standards and standard engineering practices are used. Comment 24: What will be done to control/prevent graffiti on large walls that are exposed after construction is complete? Response: The project site would be fenced and locked, restricting access to the reservoir tanks. Additionally, as stated on page 5-1 of the IS/MND, the exposed portion of the front tank would be screened by landscaping. The visual simulations of the proposed reservoirs that were presented at the January 12, 2006, community meeting represented the pre-landscape condition and were not intended to show the final visual characteristics of the project site. RIProjects\T ustinU003\RTC-040606 doc 2.20 Responses to Comments Rawlings Reservoir Replacement Project Responses to Comments Comment 25: Will there be a process to ensure that the landscaping is maintained after completion of project? (Currently it has deteriorated.) Response: The City of Tustin would be responsible for maintaining the on-site landscaping. It should be noted that area immediately in front of the reservoir site along Foothill Boulevard is currently owned and maintained by the County of Orange. With the proposed project, there would be improvements to Foothill Boulevard implemented in this area, including the introduction of a sidewalk and landscaping. Comment 26: Can the tanks be completely buried? Response: Completely burying the tanks is not feasible due to engineering, hydraulic, and public health and safety (e.g., water quality) constraints. Additionally, this method of construction would be cost-prohibitive. Comment 27: Is Tustin Unified School District being informed during all of these processes? Response: A copy of the Notice of Intent to adopt an MND was distributed to the Tustin Unified School District (TUSD). No comment letter was received. Additionally, the TUSD was invited to the informational community meeting held at Foothill High School. A representative from the TUSD attended this meeting and the NTAC meeting held on February 15, 2006. Comment 28: Is this meeting a "Public Hearing"? Response: The meeting that took place on January 12, 2006, was an informational community meeting with the purpose of introducing the project to interested parties. It was not a publiC hearing. A public hearing would be scheduled to take place during a City of Tustin City Council meeting. Comment 29: Has NT AC been notified of this project and is being involved? Response: Pursuant to Section 15072(b) of the State CECA Guidelines, the City of Tustin submitted the notice of intent to the "last known name and address" of the North Tustin Advisory Committee (NTAC). The NTAC is an advisory committee that serves the unincorporated area of Orange County which does not include the project site. The proposed project is not subject to review by NT AC, however, the City of Tustin has voluntarily presented the proposed project to the Committee at its regularly scheduled meeting on February 15, 2006. Comment 30: Is this project being "fast tracked"? Response: The proposed Rawlings Reservoir Replacement project is not being "fast- tracked." The project is a Capital Improvement Program that is necessary to ensure sufficient water supply in the City service area. As discussed in Section 2.2 of the IS/MND, Project Background, the City initiated an evaluation of the proposed project in 1996 when an engineering analysis of the Rawlings Reservoir identified several structural deficiencies. The existing reservoir was taken out of service in 2004. Based on the current schedule, the City Council will consider approval of the MND and conceptual project design in April 2006, and required rate increase in May 2006. Subsequently, the City will solicit design/construction bids (Final Plans and Specifications) which, based on the R: IProjectsITuslinIJOO3\RTC-Q40606. doc 2-21 Responses to Comments Rawlings Rasarvoir Rap/aceman! Projact Rasponsas to Commants current schedule, would be considered by the City Council in Fall 2006. Construction activities are expected to be initiated in Spring 2007 and completed in Winter 2009. Comment 31: Who will issue the actual permits to perform the work? Response: The City of Tustin would issue permits to the contractor for on-site construction activities. The County of Orange and Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD) would issue permits and other necessary approvals for street improvements on Foothill Boulevard and storm drain connections, respectively. Comment 32: Does the County oversee road closures and traffic control? Response: As indicated on page 5-28 of the IS/MND under item (a), the number of additional trips generated by the project during the construction phase would not significantly impact existing roadway operating conditions. However, MM 16-1 (page 5-31 of the IS/MND) requires submittal of Traffic Management Plans to the County of Orange for review and approval. Comment 33: Will there be enough aesthetical planning done? Will the area look better than it does currently? Response: As indicated on page 5-1 of the IS/MND, item (c), the existing visual character of the project site would be altered through the demolition of the existing reservoir and construction of two new reservoir tanks. The project has been designed to minimize aesthetic impacts through partial burial of the tanks and landscaping which is proposed for location along the exposed face of the front tank and on non-paved areas throughout the site. Comment 34: Will there be additional public meetings, say at the mid-point of the project and at the end for public input? Response: As noted previously, the MND and conceptual project design, and required rate increase will be considered by the City Council in April/May 2006. The Final Plans and Specifications for the proposed project would be considered by the City Council at a subsequent meeting. Additionally, the City of Tustin would implement a public outreach program for the project which could include periodic meetings to provide project updates and obtain input on the project. Comment 35: The City owns this "island" of land. When did this island appear and why? Response: The City of Tustin incorporated the reservoir site in the early 1980s when the City acquired Tustin Water Works and all of their privately held properties.
