CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT NEGATIVE DECLARATION WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT BALBOA PENINSULA 1976-77 ' 1. Location: The proposed project is located in the City of Newport Beach, as shown on the attached exhibit. 2. Project Description: The work consists of constructing approximately 900 feet of 4- and 6-inch water main in various alleys on Balboa Penin- sula, replacing existing 2-inch mains. 3. Purpose of Project: To increase the reliability of water service by replacing substandard deteriorating pipe and add operational flexi- bility to the existing water system by eliminating dead-end service mains. 4. Discussion of Environmental Impacts: The proposed improvements are consistent with City's General Plan Policies, require no additional right-of-way, and will not cause the relocation of any people or the disturbance of any buildings. Existing topography will not be altered, and there should be no additional noise or pollution as a result of this project. The project will not affect the amount of water used within the City, and will not encourage development. There will be no long-term, irreversible or irretrievable effects on the environment, and no significant short-term effects. 5. Basis for Negative Declaration: The proposed project has been reviewed in conjunction with Sections 15081, 15082, and 15083 of the "Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970." Review of the criteria set forth in these sections indicates that the project will not have a significant environmental impact. 12/16/76 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT FACT SHEET TO DETERMINE IF PROJECT HAS SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECT WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT .

Human Resources The project will not affect any existing building or require the relocation of any people. D. Geologic Hazards Extensive grading will not be required. There are no known unique geologic hazards within the project area. E. Flooding, Erosion, or Siltation The only excavation for this project will be a trench for installation of the water mains. The trench will be backfilled to the existing ground elevation. The surplus excavated material will be removed from the job site. Therefore, this item will not be of significance. F. Ground Water There are no known aquifers in the immediate vicinity of the project. G. Noise Level This proposed project will not affect the ambient noise levels of the adjacent areas.

Vegetation and Animal Life This project will not affect any plant or animal life in the area. J. Water Resources The proposed project will not affect the water resources in the area. K. Secondary Consequences The proposed project will not cause an increase or decrease in the amount of water used within the City. In addition, construction of the proposed water mains will not increase or decrease the potential for development since the area is nearly fully developed. The proposed mains will increase the reliability of water service and will add operational flexibility to the existing water system in- the area. L. Short -Term Impacts The only short-term impacts anticipated for this project are a slight amount of motorist inconvenience and noise during construction. These impacts are not considered to be significant. M. Summary The project does not appear to have any significant adverse effects on the environment. 12/16/76 SERE.V 0.G re •-., 6'pp4Ccc ?-4W\ \ /o `mom p • o �'- co• 6 < p AS•[E k. if,42 m 4 �. • b • t,:.: "r, GI PUBLIC •' 234% .�3A�PG'pj • `.o b m.• rr •• • ..... •`, 0 - C•'•• •...a WArse s 4/4)5 To OE , ►mallet• PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT 300 400 Q 800 I600 ♦ 2400 IN FEET \ \ ♦ S O�•ORYr •ct.I•�9'4,°W Loa�R xi) C3EL2Egg gqi) Byir ill' L va2a3 s OP a • ♦ • ♦ ccS ST..14.
