ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW --NOTICE OF DETERMINATION
A preliminary environmental review of the proposed project for storm
drain improvements for "I" street end in the City of Newport Beach 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

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.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT
NEGATIVE DECLARATION
STORM DRAIN IMPROVEMENTS
FOR
"I" STREET END
AT
NEWPORT BAY
1. Location: The proposed project is located in the City of Newport Beach toward
the end of the Balboa Peninsula, at "I" Street End and Newport Bay. An exhibit
is attached showing the limits of the project.
2. Project Description: This project proposes:
a) Removal of two existing 8" metal storm drain pipes from "I" Street
End to Newport Bay;
b) Construction of a 24" corrugated metal pipe storm drain at the
location of one of the existing 8" pipes;
c) Minor reconstruction of "I" Street End as required in conjunction
with the new storm drain pipe.
3. Purpose of Project: The purpose of this project is to improve storm drainage
and minimize flooding during minor storms. This project is essentially a main-
tenance project.
4. Discussion of Environmental Impacts:
This project is in conformance to long-range City goals, requires no additional
right-of-way or relocation of any people. Drainage patterns will not be altered,
so there will be no change in water quality. There will be no additional noise
or pollution as a result of this project.
There will be no long=term, irreversible or irretrievable effects on the environ-
ment, 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 California Environmental Quality Act of 1970. Criteria
set forth in those sections indicate that the proposed project will not have a
significant environmental impact.

TO DETERMINE
IF PROJECT HAS
SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECT
STORM DRAIN IMPROVEMENTS
FOR
"I" STREET END
AT
NEWPORT BAY
A. Conformance with City Goals
The project is in conformance with the City's long-term goal of gradual
correction of storm drainage problems and flooding at peak tides on the
Balboa Peninsula. This project involves the replacement of an inadequate
storm drain system to alleviate flooding.
B. Land Use
Existing land use adjacent to the proposed project is residential. The
project will be constructed within the existing street right-of-way, requir-
ing no additional right-of-way; and is essentially a maintenance project.
C. Human Resources
The project does not affect any existing building or require the relocation
of any people.
D. Geologic Hazards
Liquefaction is a potential hazard in the project area. However, construction
of the storm drain will not affect the damage potential of this hazard, nor
will liquefaction affect the design or construction of the storm drain.
E. Flooding and Water Quality
The project will minimize the problem of flooding during minor storms and improve
the drainage characteristics. No silting or erosion is anticipated as a result
of the proposed project.
F. Noise Level
The project will neither increase nor decrease the level of noise in the area.
G. Air Resources
This project will not significantly increase or decrease the total volume of
vehicle emissions.
H. Vegetation and Animal Life
There are no known rare or endangered species of animal or plant life within
or adjacent to the project area.

I. Water Course
Upon completion of the project, storm water will continue to enter the Newport
Bay via the "I" Street drain outlet.
J. Long -Term Impacts
This project will have no long-term, irreversible or irretrievable effects
on the commitments of resources in the City. The proposed project complements
the existing and on -going development in the adjacent area.
K. Short -Term Impacts
The only short-term impacts anticipated are those associated with any street
project. They are such items as noise and some, inconvenience to the residents
adjacent to the project. These impacts are not considered to have a signifi-
cant effect on the environment.
L. Summary
The project does not appear to have a significant effect on the environment.
In fact, it would seem that the decision not to construct the project would
have a more important effect on environment, as it would sustain the poor
drainageconditions and the problem of flooding.
