Joseph T Piblic W A3M:em Attachments evlin s Director April 1, 1976 • • CONSTRUCTION OF 12-INCH WATER MAIN ACROSS PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY AT NEWPORT BOULEVARD NEGATIVE DECLARATION BY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 1. Location: The proposed project is located within the City limits of Newport Beach. 2. Project Description: The work consists of the installation of approxi- mately 80 feet of 12-inch water main across Pacific Coast Highway easterly of Newport Boulevard. Jacking of approximately 50 feet of 24-inch steel casing will be required under the Highway. 3. Purpose of Project: a. To provide adequate capacity for the existing deficient system. b. To provide greater operational flexibility and safety. 4. Discussion of Environmental Impacts: a. Land Resources The proposed water main will be located within an existing dedicated easement for water line purposes and the State Highway right-of-way. b. Geologic Hazards There are no known unique geologic hazards in the project area. c. Secondary Consequences 1. The project will not affect the present water usage. 2. The project will neither encourage nor be detrimental to future development. 5. Basis for Negative Declaration The proposed project has been reviewed in conjunction with Sections 15081, 15082, and 15083, Chapter 3--Guidelines for Implementation of the Calif- ornia Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Division 6, Title 14, California Administrative Code. The project is not in conflict with the environmental plans and goals of the community; it willnot have any aesthetic affect in the area; it will not affect animal or plant life; and it will not affect the air quality, water quality, and the ambient noise levels of the adjoining areas. Review of the criteria set forth in the above noted sec- tions indicates that the proposed project will not have a significant environmental impact. A copy of the informational fact sheet is attached for reference. April 1, 1976 CONSTRUCTION OF 12-INCH WATER MAIN ACROSS PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY AT NEWPORT BOULEVARD FACT SHEET TO DETERMINE IF PROJECT HAS SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECT BY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH A. Conformance with City General Plan The proposed water main will loop an existing dead end section of the present system, providing greater operational flexibility and increased capacity on the north side of Pacific Coast Highway. This project will be in conformance with the City's General Plan. B. Land Use This project will not require any additional right-of-way. Construction will be in an existing easement and within the State Highway right-of-way. The land use on the south side of Pacific Coast Highway is presently zoned C2--professional offices, retail and wholesale stores. On the north side it is zoned C2H--essentially the same as C2. The frontage is presently fully developed. C. Human Resources The project will not 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 excavations for this project will be a jacking pit on the north side of the Highway and a tapping pit on the south side. A 24-inch steel casing will be jacked under the State Highway roadway. All excavations will be backfilled to previously existing grade, Surplus excavated material will be removed from the job side. Therefore, this item will not be of significance. F. Ground Water Ground water is not expected to be encountered at the proposed flow line of the new pipeline; however, because bf the proximity of the project to 1 Newport Bay, ground water can be expected at lower elevations in this area. If it becomes necessary to dewater the construction site, permission will be obtained from the County Sanitation District to discharge into the adjacent sanitary sewer system. G. Noise Level The proposed project will not affect the ambient noise levels of the adja- cent areas. H. Air Resources The proposed project will not affect the air quality of the surrounding areas. I. Water Resources The proposed project will not affect the water resources in the area. J. Secondary Consequences The proposed project will not increase or decrease the amount.of water used within the City. The reliability of water service in the adjacent area would be increased and would be an important factor in determining the City's fire insurance rates. K. Short -Term Impacts The only short-term impact anticipated would occur during construction hours. Motorists would encounter some inconvenience in the traveled lanes on the State Highway due to the excavations required for the jacking and tapping operations. A moderate amount of construction equipment activity and noise is anticipated. These impacts are not considered to be significant. L. Summary The proposed project does not appear to have a significant effect on the environment.
