Main Street -Bay Avenue sewage pumping station 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

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

OCTOBER, 1980
1. PROJFCT LOCATION• The proposed sewage pump station is located at
the intersection of Main Street with Bay Avenue on the Balboa
Peninsula in the City of Newport Beach.
2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION.: The project consists of the installation of
a small pumping station in two new -Wholes -in Bay Avenue; the re-
placement of a collapsed Portland cement concrete sewer with a
shallower vitrified clay pipe sewer in the alleys in the city
block bounded by Main'Street, Bay Avenue, "A" Street, and Balboa
Boulevard; repairs to existing sewer manholes; and the repaving
of the alleys in the above -described city block with Portland
cement concrete pavement.
3. PROJECT GOALS. The purpose of the project is to replace an emer-
gency bypass pumping system that was installed to bypass the deep
sewer in the above -described city block when the sewer collapsed.
Because of the depth of the sewer, the sandy soil, the narrowness
of the alley, and the weight of the adjoining buildings, it is
not feasible to replace the deep gravity sewer that collapsed.
It is therefore necessary to lift the sewage into new shallow
sewers to be constructed in the alley between Main Street and
"A" Street.
Ground water pumped out during construction will be desilted,
treated with chlorine to remove sulfides; and then discharged
into a County Sanitation District No. 5 trunk sewer in Balboa
Boulevard.

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-
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?
