ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW --NOTICE OF DETERMINATION
• A preliminary environmental review of the proposed project for the
reconstruction of the storm drain at 400 Via Lido Nord has been performed.
The review was conducted in accordance with the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, the State "Guidelines for
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970," and
the City's "Policies and Procedures for Implementing the California
Environmental Quality Act."
The environmental statement has been reviewed and was approved by the
City's Environmental Affairs Committee.
As a result of the preliminary review, it has been determined that:
1. The project is approved.
2. The project will not have a significant effect on the environment.
3. An environmental impact report has not been prepared.. A negative
declaration has been prepared and is attached hereto.

RECONSTRUCT STORM DRAIN AT 400 VIA LIDPINORD
(C-2151)
NEGATIVE DECLARATION
BY
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
1. PROJECT LOCATION
This Lido Isle storm drain lies within a 6-foot-wide public easement
beginning at Via Lido Nord and extending northward to the south
U. S. Bulkhead Line of Lido Channel.
2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A 4-foot-wide concrete walkway covering the storm drain must be removed
and reconstructed in its entirety to permit replacement of 160 linear
feet of 12" dia. storm drain pipe with 18" dia. pipe. Also, the 32
foot long storm drain catch basin on the north side of Via Lido Nord at
the easement will be replaced with either a 12 foot -long catch basin or
a 6-foot-long catch basin plus 18" dia. connector pipe to an 8-foot-
long catch basin located on the south side of Via Lido Nord.
3. • PROJECT GOALS
The project provides for adequate control of rainstorm water such that
(1) adjoining residences are not flooded and (2) the public beach sand
is not eroded by storm drain overflow surface water.
4. EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT
There will be no significant, long-term irreversible or irretrievable
effects on the environment. There will be minimal, acceptable short-
term effects on the environment during construction.
5. BASIS FOR NEGATIVE DECLARATION
This project is consistent with the General Plan policies of Newport
Beach and could not have significant effect on the environment.
6. INITIAL STUDY
The Public Works Department of the City of Newport Beach has prepared an
initial study in accordance with Sections 15081 and 15082 of Chapter 3,
Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality
Act of 1970, Title 14, Division 6 of the California Administrative Code.
Copies of the study may be obtained from said Department during normal
working hours.

RECONSTRUCT STORM DRAIN AT 400 VIA LIDO.NORD
(C-2151)
INITIAL STUDY
BY '
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
A. CONFORMANCE WITH THE GENERAL PLAN
The project is in accord with the General Plan of the City of Newport
Beach, in particular the "Recreation and Open Space Element" and the
"Conservation of Natural Resources Element."
B. EARTH
At present, runoff from moderate rainstorms exceeds storm drain capacity.
The excess runoff then overcrests the catch basin curb, flows down the
concrete walkway adjacent to 400 Via Lido Nord and erodes a substantial
portion of public beach. This•project should eliminate the erosion of
beach sands caused by storm drain overflow.
C. WATER
In addition to the uncontrolled walkway flow, excess runoff from moderate
rainstorms also floods adjoining private property and streets. The storm
drain reconstruction will eliminate this flood storage, and will provide
a rapid, controlled course of storm flow into Lido Channel.
D. ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
An environmental checklist has been completed as a portion of this study.
See Appendix I (attached).

21. Mandatory Findings of significance.
(a) Does the project have the potential
to degrade the quality of the environment,
substantially reduce the habitat of a fish
or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self sustaining
levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or
•animal community; reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or endangered
plant or animal or eliminate important
examples of the major periods of California
history or prehistory?
b. Does the project have the poten-
tial to achieve short-term, to the
disadvantage of long-term, environ- R
mental goals? (A short-term impact -
-
on the environment is one which
occurs in a relatively brief,
definitive period of time while
long-term impacts will endure
well into the future.)
c. Does the project have impacts
which are individually limited,
but cumulatively considerable?
(A project may impact on two or more
separate resources where the impact
on each resource is relatively
small, but where the effect of the
total of those impacts on the •
environment is significant.)
d. Does the project have environ-
mental effects which will cause
substantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly
or indirectly?
