Home My WebLink About09 - Buck Gully Restoration ProjectCITY OF NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Agenda Item No. a January 25, 2011 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: Public Works Department Iris Lee, Senior Civil Engineer 949 - 644 -3323 or ilee @newportbeachca.gov SUBJECT: BUCK GULLY RESTORATION PROJECT — CONTRACT NO. 3780 ADOPTION OF THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION ISSUE As part of the Buck Gully Restoration Project, the City is required to obtain environmental clearance pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines. A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared, circulated for review, and is now ready for adoption. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) approving the Buck Gully Restoration Project Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) on the basis of the entire environmental . review record. DISCUSSION As part of the City's proactive approach in addressing canyon stabilization concerns in Lower Buck Gully, the project proposes installing stepped - gabion (wire -mesh baskets filled with river rock) grade control structures with subsurface flow wetlands in the lower reach and bend -way weirs along the upper bend of the creek. The gabion and weir structures would limit stream bed erosion during flood events, particularly along the base of the canyon slopes to reduce the potential of slope erosion or failure, which in turn could lead to damage of existing residential structures located at the top of these slopes. The subsurface wetlands would improve water quality by a combination of physical, chemical, and biological processes. After construction, disturbed areas would be revegetated with a native plant palette. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW RBF Consulting prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Buck Gully Restoration Project. California State Law requires an environmental review for all Buck Gully Restoration Project— Adoption of Mitigated Negative Declaration January 25, 2011 Page 2 pending projects that have the potential to result in any significant adverse effects on the environment that could occur if a project is implemented. Based on an Initial Study, City staff has concluded that, with mitigation, the Buck Gully Restoration Project will not have a significant effect on the environment. The MND does not identify any component of the project that would result in a "potentially significant impact" on the environment per CEQA guidelines. However, the document does identify components of the project that would result in effects that are "less than significant with mitigation incorporated" as a result of construction of the project. The document recommends the adoption of 12 mitigation measures to mitigate the effects to a point where no significant effects would occur. These mitigation measures are identified in the MMRP, which is attached to this report The MND was made available for public review for a 30 -day comment period from October 19, 2010 to November 17, 2010. Comments were received from the following four parties: 1. California Cultural Resource Preservation Alliance, Inc. commented on the potential of buried cultural resource disturbance. 2. Department of Transportation, District 12 reminded the City of obtaining an encroachment permit in the event of any activity within Caltrans' right -of -way. 3. Southern California Gas Company noted existing gas facilities within the project vicinity. 4. The Department of Toxic Substances Control expressed concerns about on -site hazardous materials. The MND states there are no known hazardous materials within the Project Area and the Project would not involve the transport, use, or disposal of any hazardous materials. All comments have been addressed and the responses have been attached to this report. A copy of the MND is available at the City Clerks' Office and City website for public reference. With approval by City Council of the MND, staff will file a Notice of Determination with the County Clerk as required by Section 15075 of the California Environmental Quality Act. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of this item appeared upon the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at " City Hall and on the City website. The environmental assessment process has also been noticed consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act. The Notice of Intent (NOI) to adopt the MND was advertised with the Daily Pilot on October 22, 2010, and was also posted at the project site. FUNDING AVAILABILITY Not applicable.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 25TH DAY OF JANUARY, 2011. Michael F. Henn Mayor ATTEST: Leilani I. Brown City Clerk PWPO City of Newport Beach r� Buck Gully Restoration Project EXHIBIT A Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration 3.0 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING INTRODUCTION CEQA requires that when a public agency completes an environmental document, which includes measures to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects, the public agency must adopt a reporting or monitoring program. This requirement ensures that environmental impacts found to be significant will be mitigated. The reporting or monitoring program must be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation (Public Resources Code Section 21081.6). In compliance with Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, the attached Section 4.0, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Checklist, has been prepared for the Buck Gully Restoration Project. This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Checklist is intended to provide verification that all applicable Conditions of Approval relative to significant environmental impacts are monitored and reported. Monitoring will include: 1) verification that each mitigation measure has been implemented; 2) recordation of the actions taken to implement each mitigation; and 3) retention of records in the Buck Gully Project file. This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program delineates responsibilities for monitoring the Buck Gully Restoration Project, but also allows the City flexibility and discretion in determining how best to monitor implementation. Monitoring procedures will vary according to the type of mitigation measure. Adequate monitoring consists of demonstrating that monitoring procedures took place and that mitigation measures were implemented. This includes the review of all monitoring reports, enforcement actions, and document disposition, unless otherwise noted in the attached Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Checklist. If an adopted mitigation measure is not being properly implemented, the designated monitoring personnel shall require corrective actions to ensure adequate implementation. Reporting consists of establishing a record that a mitigation measure is being implemented, and generally involves the following steps: • The City distributes reporting forms to the appropriate entities for verification of compliance. Departments /agencies with reporting responsibilities will review the Initial Study, which provides general background information on the reasons for including specified mitigation measures. Problems or exceptions to compliance will be addressed to the City as appropriate. • Periodic meetings may be held during project implementation to report on compliance of mitigation measures. • Responsible parties provide the City with verification that monitoring has been conducted and ensure, as applicable, that mitigation measures have been implemented. Monitoring compliance may be documented through existing review and approval programs such as field inspection reports and plan review. JN 10-104465 16 Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program F`�waoRr City of Newport Beach Buck Gully Restoration Project u.pp s EXHIBIT A Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration 9<IFORH The City prepares a reporting form periodically during the construction phase and an annual report summarizing all project mitigation monitoring efforts. Appropriate mitigation measures will be included in construction documents and /or conditions of permits /approvals. Minor changes to the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, if required, would be made in accordance with CEQA and would be permitted after further review and approval by the City. Such changes could include reassignment of monitoring and reporting responsibilities, program redesign to make any appropriate improvements, and /or modification, substitution, or deletion of mitigation measures subject to conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. No change will be permitted unless the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program continues to satisfy the requirements of Public Resources Code Section 21081.6.

JN 10- 104465 25 Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Notice of Intent to Adopt Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Buck Gully Restoration Project (Newport Beach) Notice is hereby given that the City of Newport Beach has completed an Initial Study for the Buck Gully Restoration Project. The area of the proposed restoration would occur within lower Buck Gully, upstream of the Pacific Ocean and south of East Coast Highway (ECH) in Newport Beach. The goal of the Buck Gully Restoration project is to provide an engineered solution to stabilize the bed gradient of the lower Buck Gully downstream of ECH to reduce the potential of gradual erosion or catastrophic failure of the adjacent canyon slopes which support properties on the rim of the canyon. The project proposes installing stepped - gabion (wire -mesh baskets filled with river rock) grade control structures with subsurface flow wetlands in the lower reach of Buck Creek and bend -way weirs along the upper bend of the creek. The gabion and weir structures would limit stream bed erosion during flood events, particularly along the base of the canyon slopes to reduce the potential of slope erosion or failure which in turn could lead to damage of existing residential structures located at the top of these slopes. The subsurface wetlands would improve water quality by a combination of physical, chemical, and biological processes. After construction, disturbed areas would be revegetated with a native plant palette. Contractor access to the project site would be provided by the existing public beach access road (Glen Drive) at the corner of Ocean Boulevard and Poppy Avenue. Construction traffic would access the project site from Marguerite Avenue to Ocean Boulevard only; no other streets would be utilized. The access road would remain open for public use during construction. On the basis of the Initial Study, City staff has concluded that the project would not have a significant impact on the environment and has therefore recommended adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MIND). The MND reflects the independent judgment of City staff and recognizes project design features, previous environmental and planning evaluations and recommendations, and standard construction and engineering practices as contributing to avoidance of potential impacts. The project site does not include any sites on an Environmental Protection Agency hazardous waste site list complied pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. The MIND is available for a 30 -day public review period beginning October 19, 2010 and ending November 18, 2010. Copies of the document are available for review at the Newport Beach Public Works Department, located at 3300 Newport Boulevard, Building C, Newport Beach, CA 92663 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The document can also be accessed online at: http:// www .newportbeachca.gov /index.aspx ?page =1347. Any written comments on the proposed project should be sent to the attention of Robert Stein at the address listed above and must be received no later than November 18, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. The City Council of Newport Beach is tentatively scheduled to consider this item at a regular meeting to be held on January 11, 2011, at the City of Newport Beach Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, CA 92663.

Following are the databases of some of the regulatory agencies: • National Priorities List (NPL): A list maintained by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.EPA). • Envirostor (formerly CalSites): A Database primarily used by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, accessible through DTSC's website (see below). • Resource Conservation and Recovery Information System (RCRIS): A database of RCRA facilities that is maintained by U.S. EPA. • Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Information System (CERCLIS): A database of CERCLA sites that is maintained by U.S.EPA. • Solid Waste Information System (SWIS): A database provided by the California Integrated Waste Management Board which consists of both open as well as closed and inactive solid waste disposal facilities and transfer stations. • GeoTracker: A List that is maintained by Regional Water Quality Control Boards. Local Counties and Cities' maintain lists for hazardous substances cleanup sites. and leaking underground storage tanks. • The United States Army Corps of Engineers, 911 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California, 90017, (213) 452 -3908, maintains a list of Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS). 2) The MIND should identify the mechanism to initiate any required investigation and /or remediation for any site within the proposed Project area that may be contaminated, and the government agency to provide JN 10-104465 6 Response to Comments 0W PO City of Newport Beach Buck Gully Restoration Project Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration DTSC LETTER 2 - PAGE 3 of 5 Mr, Robert Stein November 8, 2010 Page 3 appropriate regulatory oversight. If necessary, DTSC would require an oversight agreement in order to review such documents. 3) Any environmental investigations, sampling and /or remediation for a site should be conducted under a Workplan approved and overseen by a regulatory agency that has jurisdiction to oversee hazardous substance cleanup. The findings of any investigations, including any Phase I or II Environmental Site Assessment Investigations should be summarized in the document. All sampling results in which hazardous substances were found above regulatory standards should be clearly summarized in a table. All closure, certification or remediation approval reports by regulatory agencies should be included in the MIND. 4) If buildings, other structures, asphalt or concrete -paved surface areas are being planned to be demolished, an investigation should also be conducted for the presence of other hazardous chemicals, mercury, and asbestos containing materials (AGMs). If other hazardous chemicals, lead -based paints (LPB) or products, mercury or ACMs are identified, proper precautions should be taken during demolition activities_ Additionally, the contaminants should be remediated in compliance with California environmental regulations and policies. 5) Future project construction may require soil excavation or filling in certain areas. Sampling may be required. If soil is contaminated, it must be properly disposed and not simply placed in another location onsite. Land Disposal Restrictions (LDRs) may be applicable to such soils. Also, if the project proposes to Import soil to backfill the areas excavated, sampling should be conducted to ensure that the imported soil is free of contamination. 6) Human health and the environment of sensitive receptors should be protected during any construction or demolition activities. If necessary, a health risk assessment overseen and approved by the appropriate government agency should be conducted by a qualified health risk assessor to determine if there are, have been, or will be, any releases of hazardous materials that may pose a risk to human health or the environment. 7) If the site was used for agricultural, livestock or related activities, onsite soils and groundwater might contain pesticides, agricultural chemical, organic waste or other related residue. Proper investigation, and JN 10.104465 7 Response to Comments (9) City of Newport Beach Buck Gully Restoration Project Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration DTSC LETTER 2 — PAGE 4 of 5 Mr. Robert Stein November 8, 2010 Page 4 remedial actions, if necessary, should be conducted under the oversight of and approved by a government agency at the site prior to construction of the project. 8) If it is determined that hazardous wastes are, or will be, generated by the proposed operations, the wastes must be managed in accordance with the California Hazardous Waste Control Law (California Health and Safety Code, Division 20, Chapter 6.5) and the Hazardous Waste Control Regulations (California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 4.5). If it is determined that hazardous wastes will be generated, the facility should also obtain a United States Environmental Protection Agency Identification Number by contacting (800) 618 -6942. Certain hazardous waste treatment processes or hazardous materials, handling, storage or uses may require authorization from the local Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA). Information about the requirement for authorization can be obtained by contacting your local CUPA. 9) DTSC can provide cleanup oversight through an Environmental Oversight Agreement (EOA) for government agencies that are not responsible parties, or a Voluntary Cleanup Agreement (VCR) for private parties. For additional information on the EOA or VCA, please see www.dtsc. ca.gov /SiteCleanup /Brownfields, or contact Ms. Maryam, Tasn'rf- Abbasi, DTSC's Voluntary Cleanup Coordinator, at (714) 484- 5489.

As stated in Section 4.8, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, the project site consists of a natural canyon and perennial stream. It is not anticipated that environmental conditions or hazardous materials exist within the canyon. Environmental Data Resources, Inc. conducted a records search of regulatory databases for the project site and properties within a quarter -mile radius to determine whether regulatory sites or hazardous wastes had been reported within or near the project site. The EDR records search included a search of federal, state, and local agency environmental records, and a search for information about the physical setting of the project site and its surroundings. An environmental condition within the boundaries of the project' site because of surrounding regulated properties is considered to be low due to the properties distance from the project site and /or regulatory status. 2.3 This comment states that the MND should identify the mechanism to initiate any required investigation and /or remediation for any site within the project area that may be contaminated. Based on the database search discussed in Response 2.2 and multiple field visits, no further investigation or remediation is warranted, In the unlikely event that hazardous materials are encountered during construction, Mitigation Measure HAZ1 shall be implemented to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. 2.4 This comment discusses activities that are required should sampling and /or remediation be required. Refer to Response 2.3, above. 2.5 This comment discusses measures that are required for the demolition of structures, asphalt or concrete -paved surfaces. No demolition of structures, asphalt or concrete - paved surfaces is proposed with the proposed project. 2.6 This comment states sampling may be required. Refer to Response 2.3, above. 2.7 This comment states- that human health and the environment of sensitive receptors should be protected during any construction or demolition activities. In the unlikely event that hazardous materials are encountered during construction, Mitigation Measure HAZ1 shall be implemented to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. 2.8 This comment discusses issues relevant to agricultural, livestock and related land uses. The project site is situated in a natural canyon; no agricultural, livestock or related land uses are present within the boundaries of the project site. A 10.104465 10 Response to Comments (9) City of Newport Beach Buck Gully Restoration Project Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration 2.9 This comment states the processes to follow should hazardous materials be found onsite. As mentioned in Section 4.8, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, City regulations include a Unified Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Materials Management Regulatory Program, Chapter 9.04 of the City's Municipal Code, and implementation of the California Accidental Release Prevention Program. Elements of these programs include spill mitigation and containment and securing of hazardous materials containers to prevent spills. Compliance with these requirements is mandatory as standard permitting conditions and would minimize the potential for the accidental release or upset of hazardous materials, helping to ensure public safety. 2.10 This comment states that DTSC can provide cleanup oversight and can provide additional information with respect to cleanup programs. The comment does not provide specific comments regarding information presented in the IS /MND and no further response is necessary.

P.O. Box 54132 An alliance of American Indian and scientific communities working for Irvine, CA 926193132 the preservation of archaeological sites and other cultural resources. November 10, 2010 Mr.. Robert Stein, Assistant City Engineer City of Newport Beach 3300 Newport Boulevard Newport Beach, CA 92663 Dear Mr. Stein: Thank you for the opportunity to review the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Buck Gully Restoration Project. As stated in section 4.5 Cultural Resources, "Over 50 archaeological sites have been documented within the City." "... at least two distinct cultural groups inhabited the City of Newport Beach, and later period sites indicate that the City was heavily populated at the time of European contact" Previous studies of settlement patterns in coastal southern California indicate that village sites were usually located along a stream or canyon and in particular, at the mouth of the stream or canyon where it empties into the ocean (Moratto, Michael California Archaeology 1984), therefore there is a high potential that buried cultural resources may be present within the proposed project and directly impacted by ground disturbing construction activity. Given the potential for the presence of significant archaeological resources, mitigation measures CRl and CR 2 that rely on construction personnel to recognize "potentially significant archaeological evidence" are not adequate to ensure that buried cultural resources are discovered and there is the opportunity for further mitigation measures to lessen the impacts. Construction personnel are not trained or qualified to make this determination. We strongly recommend that the mitigation measures include provisions for professional archaeological and Native American monitoring. In the interest of cultural resources preservation, we sincerely hope that our comments will be considered and that adequate mitigation measures pertaining to cultural resources will be included in a revision of the Mitigated Negative Declaration. If the California Cultural Resources Alliance may be of assistance and if you have questions regarding our comments, please call me at (949) 559 -6490, or email pmartz@calstatela.edu. With concern for the preservation of cultural resources, Patricia Martz, Ph.D. C. President JN 10. 104465 12 Response to Comments (1) City of Newport Beach Buck Gully Restoration Project Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration RESPONSE TO COMMENT LETTER NO. 3 Ms. Patricia Martz, President California Cultural Resource Preservation Alliance, Inc. February 25, 2010 3.1 This comment recommends that existing mitigation measures include provisions for professional archaeological and Native American Monitoring. Due to significant sedimentation within the canyon, excavation activities would be limited within native soils. However, due to the undeveloped nature of the canyon floor, an on -call qualified archaeologist monitor shall be retained and City staff will be present during excavation activities. This measure will be documented as CR4 and will be incorporated into the Mitigation and Monitoring Table as part of the Final IS /MND.

BonTerra Consulting Senior Biologist Sandra Leatherman and Ecologist Jennifer Pareti conducted a general plant and wildlife survey on January 15, 2008. The purpose of the survey was to document existing biological resources and conduct vegetation mapping of Buck Gully. Prior to the survey, the California Native Plant Society s (CNPS) Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California (CNPS 2008) and the California Department of Fish and Game's (CDFG) California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) (CDFG 2008a) were reviewed to identify special status plants, wildlife, and habitats known to occur in the vicinity of the project site. Database searches included the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, and Tustin 7.5- minute quadrangles. PROJECT LOCATION/EXISTING CONSERVATION PLANNING Buck Gully is a natural gully that begins in the hills and continues to the coast in the Corona del Mar area within the City of Newport Beach (Exhibit 2). It is located on the USGS Newport 7.5- minute topographic quadrangle. The Buck Gully project site (hereafter referred to as "the project site ") occurs between Pacific Coast Highway and Little Corona Beach (Exhibit 3). The project site also includes a portion of Little Corona Beach and the adjacent bluffs. Private residences line either side of the gully and some residential properties extend into the gully. Topography on the project site is sloped down towards the bottom of the drainage and is located from 100 feet above mean sea level to sea level. Soils on the project site are composed of beaches, Myford sandy loam, and Marina loamy sand. The surrounding land uses include residential, transportation (Pacific Coast Highway), and recreational (Little Corona Beach). Natural Communities Conservation Planning Program (NCCP) The County of Orange, in conjunction with the State and federal resource agencies, local jurisdictions, utility companies, the Transportation Corridor Agencies and major private landowners, have prepared the Natural Communities Conservation Plan/Habitat Conservation Plan (NCCP /HCP) for the Central - Coastal subregion (approved on July 10, 1996). This plan is intended to ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Mr. Rich Beck February 14, 2008 Page 2 ensure the long -term survival of the coastal California gnatcatcher (Polioptila califomica califomica) and other special status coastal sage scrub - dependent plant and wildlife species in accordance with State- sanctioned NCCP program guidelines. Buck Gully occurs within the NCCP/HCP Coastal subregion. Upper Buck Gully (upstream from the project site) is designated as a Special Linkage area of the NCCP /HCP and provides connectivity for wildlife movement; however, the project site is not within the area designated as a Special Linkage or Reserve (County of Orange 1996). The project site is located within the City of Newport Beach. The City, through execution of the NCCP/HCP Implementation Agreement (IA) and the receipt of a 10(a) Permit, is a participating land use jurisdiction in the Central - Coastal Subregional NCCP/HCP program. As a participating land use jurisdiction, the City receives specific regulatory authorizations pursuant to the provisions of the IA and the 10(a) Permit including full regulatory coverage for 32 species and 3 habitat types, and conditional regulatory coverage for 7 species. A landowner within the city would therefore receive regulatory coverage in accordance with the provisions of the IA and 10(a) Permit. A description of the specific regulatory coverage is provided in the section of this report containing discussions of species. SURVEY RESULTS Veaetation Tvoes The vegetation types within the survey area include southern coastal bluff scrub, chenopod scrub, coastal freshwater marsh, southern arroyo willow forest, sandy beach, open water, ornamental, and developed (Exhibit 4). Representative site photos are included in Exhibit 5. The southern coastal bluff scrub occurs on the bluff adjacent to Little Corona Beach in the southern portion of the project site. Southern coastal bluff scrub is dominated by seablite (Suaeda sp.), box thorn (Lycium sp.), coastal cholla (Opunda prolifera), California buckwheat (Edogonum fasciculatum), and bush sunflower (Encelia califomica), with California sagebrush (Artemisia californica), lemonadeberry (Rhus integrifolia), slender - leaved iceplant (Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum), and red hot poker (Kniphofia uvaria) occurring at lower densities. Southern coastal bluff scrub transitions to coastal sage scrub along the bluffs upstream and seablite and box thorn become less dense. Chenopod scrub is composed of big saltbush (Atriplex lentiformis) with a small amount of bush sunflower. A perennial stream flows through Buck Gully. Coastal freshwater marsh is dominated by cattail (Typha sp.) and the stream's open water. Coyote brush (Baccharis pilularis) and castor bean (Ricinus communis) occur along the edges of the coastal freshwater marsh with scattered garden nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus), common celery (Apium graveo/ens) and African umbrella -sedge (Cyperus involucratus). Southern arroyo willow forest occurs along the upper portion of the stream and is dominated by arroyo willow (Salix /asiolepis), which forms a dense canopy. The understory consists of western poison oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum), California blackberry (Rubus ursinus), and yerba mansa (Anemopsis californica). Some ornamental species that have washed down from the residential properties along the slope of the gully are also present along the stream. These include garden nasturtium, sour grass (Oxalis pes- caprae), English ivy (Hedera helix), and greater periwinkle (Vinca major). White water cress (Rorippa nasturtium- aquaticum) and Spanish sunflower (Pulicaria paludosa) are also present in areas along the stream. Sandy beach is composed of sand with no vegetation, but rocks that are covered in algae occur along the beach. Open water occurs on Little Corona Beach and is fed by the freshwater marsh from a spillway at the terminus of Buck Gully. The open water may receive some tidal influx and therefore may be brackish. Ornamental vegetation occurs along the slopes of Buck Gully and is associated with residential development. Ornamental vegetation is composed of ash (Fraxinus sp.), myoporum (Myoporum Mr. Rich Beck February 14, 2008 Page 3 laetum), hottentot fig (Carpobrotus edulis), acacia (Acacia sp.), Norfolk Island pine (Araucada heterophylla), gum (Eucalyptus sp.), bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spectabilis), garden nasturtium, Australian saltbush (Atrip/ex semibaccata), gazania ( Gazania linearis), and Canary Island date palm (Phoenix canariensis). Developed areas are composed of concrete with no vegetation. Wildlife Habitat The project site is well vegetated, and would therefore have potential to support several native wildlife species. However, due to the close proximity of residential development, the project site is expected to primarily support urban- tolerant wildlife. The project site does provide connectivity between the coast and high quality habitat upstream of the project site in Buck Gully inland of Pacific Coast Highway. The only amphibian species observed on the project site was the California tree frog (Pseudacris [Hyla]cadaverina). Reptile species expected to occur on the project site include western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis) and side - blotch lizard (Uta stansbudana). Bird species observed or expected to occur on the project site include great egret ( Ardea alba), snowy egret (Egretta thula), Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna), black phoebe (Sayomis nigricans), American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos), Brewer's blackbird (Euphagus cyanocephalus), house finch (Carpodacus mexicanus), and American goldfinch (Carduelis tristis). Special Status Habitats Jurisdictional Areas Drainages, which may include "waters of the U.S.," are protected under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and are under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). "Waters of the U.S.' include navigable coastal and inland waters, lakes, rivers, streams and their tributaries; interstate waters and their tributaries; wetlands adjacent to such waters; intermittent streams; and other waters that could affect interstate commerce. In addition, if drainages on the project site meet the criteria established by Section 1600 of the California Fish and Game Code, the CDFG may require a Streambed Alteration Agreement prior to any modification of the bed, bank, or channel of streambeds on the project site. Areas within the coastal zone are also regulated by the California Coastal Act. The policies of the Coastal Act are applied to planning and regulatory decisions made by the California Coastal Commission (CCC) and by local governments. The stream that courses through the project site, as well as the vegetation associated with the stream, are within the jurisdiction of the USACE, the CDFG, and the CCC. RBF Consulting has prepared a Jurisdictional Delineation identifying the extent of each agency's jurisdiction (2008). Special Status Plant and Wildlife Species Plants or wildlife may be considered to have "special status" due to declining populations, vulnerability to habitat change, or restricted distributions. Certain special status species have been listed as Threatened or Endangered under the California and/or Federal Endangered Species Acts (CESA and/or FESA). Special Status Plants Several special status plant species are known to occur or historically occurred in the project vicinity (CNPS 2008). Of these species, suitable habitat is present for seven CNPS List 1 B species. These Mr. Rich Beck February 14, 2008 Page 4 species are aphanisma (Aphanisma blitoides), Coulter's saltbush (Atriplex coulten), South Coast saltscale (Atriplex pacifica), Davidson's saltscale (Atriplex serenana var. davidsonii), southern tarplant (Centromadia parryi ssp. australis), Laguna Beach dudleya (Dudleya stolonifera), and estuary seablite (Suaeda esteroa). Special status plant surveys would be recommended to determine presence or absence of these species on the project site. Special Status Wildlife Several special status wildlife species are known to occur in the project vicinity; however, only Threatened or Endangered species typically present constraints to development. Of these species, coastal California gnatcatcher and least Bell's vireo (Vireo bellli pusillus) have potential to occur on the project site. Southwestern pond turtle (Actinemys marmorata pallida) is a CDFG Species of Special Concern that has potential to occur on the project site. Surveys for coastal California gnatcatcher, least Bell's vireo, and southwestern pond turtle would be recommended to determine presence or absence of these species on the project site. These species are discussed in more detail below. Coastal California Gnatcatcher The coastal California gnatcatcher is listed as federally Threatened and is a California Species of Special Concern. The coastal sage scrub habitat on the project site has potential to support this species. The presence of this species on the project site would not present a project constraint due to the City's participation in the NCCP /HCP Program. Therefore, Program participation requires that focused coastal California gnatcatcher surveys be conducted by a federally permitted Biologist to determine the presence or absence of this species prior to development of the project site. Coastal California gnatcatcher surveys can be conducted year- round; however, the USFWS prefers that surveys be conducted during the breeding season (March 15 to June 30). Because the project site is located within an NCCP area, survey protocols require three site visits one week apart. If the gnatcatcher is determined to be present, the City would pay a per -acre in -lieu mitigation fee to the Nature Reserve of Orange County (NROC) for removal and /or disturbance of coastal sage scrub. On December 19, 2007, the USFWS published a final critical habitat designation for the coastal California gnatcatcher, designating 197,303 acres of land in San Diego, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Ventura counties as critical habitat for the coastal California gnatcatcher (USFWS 2007). The project site is not located within the designated critical habitat area for this species. Least Bell's Vireo The least Bell's vireo is listed as federally and State Endangered. The willow riparian area along the stream has potential to support this species. The presence of this species on or adjacent to the project site would present a project constraint. Therefore, a focused least Bell's vireo survey, conducted by a qualified Biologist, is recommended to determine the presence or absence of this species if any work is proposed within 500 feet of this willow riparian area. Because this species is a migrant, these surveys can only be conducted during the breeding season (April 10 to July 31 according to the USFWS protocol). This species is conditionally covered by the NCCP. On February 2, 1994, the USFWS published the final critical habitat designation for the least Bell's vireo, designating approximately 37,560 acres of land in Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, and San Diego counties, California ( USFWS 1994). The project site is not located within the designated critical habitat area for this species. Mr. Rich Beck February 14, 2008 Page 5 Southwestern Pond Turtle Southwestern pond turtle is a California Species of Special Concern. Although this species is not formally listed by the resource agencies, it is considered a species of Local Concern and impacts on this species may be considered significant under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Section 15380). This species has potential to occur in native habitats on the project site, primarily along the stream; however, pond turtles have been documented as far as a mile away from open water. A focused trapping survey for pond turtles would be recommended to determine the presence or absence of this species on the project site. Other Considerations Trees The City of Newport Beach has a tree ordinance that regulates the removal of trees within the City. The proposed project would not remove any of the trees listed as "special trees" (i.e., those with aesthetic or historical significance designated by the ordinance as "Landmark," "Dedicated," or "Neighborhood" trees); however, the City has a policy to retain all trees that are not "Problem" trees. To remove trees, an application must be submitted to the City and a Tree Inspection Report must be prepared by the City's Urban Forester (City of Newport Beach 1966, as amended). Replacement trees may be required. The CDFG Streambed Alteration Agreement may also include measures to quantify impacts on trees within the jurisdictional areas, and may require replacement at specified ratios based on tree species and size. Wildlife Movement Buck Gully provides habitat for wildlife movement in the area and provides coastal connectivity for wildlife. Buck Gully would be expected to be utilized for local wildlife movement. Migratory Bird Treaty Act The project site provides habitat that is expected to be used by nesting birds. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) prohibits activities that result in the direct take (defined as killing or possession) of a migratory bird. This includes the nests of all native bird species, including common species. In following construction minimization measures required by the NCCP, vegetation clearing activities would take place outside the gnatcatcher nesting season (February 15 through July 15), which would also avoid the peak bird nesting season. Nesting Raptors The project site provides suitable habitat for nesting raptors. Regulations prohibit activities that "take, possess or destroy" any raptor nest or egg (CDFG Code 3503, 3503.5, and 3513). Therefore, if construction is initiated during the raptor nesting season (February 1 to June 30), a pre - construction raptor survey is recommended. The following measures are recommended to avoid or minimize impacts on biological resources: • Permits from the USACE pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA); from the CDFG pursuant to Section 1600; and from the Regional Water Quality Control Board Mr. Rich Beck February 14, 2008 Page 6 pursuant to Section 401 of the CWA may be required if areas within these agencies' jurisdictions would be impacted. The proposed project may also require approval from the CCC. • Surveys for special status plants are recommended during the appropriate blooming period for each special status species with potential to occur on the project site. • Southern coastal bluff scrub occurs on the project site and could support coastal California gnatcatcher. Focused surveys to confirm presence /absence of the coastal California gnatcatcher are recommended. If observed, the NROC should be contacted (Lyn McAfee, Executive Director, 949- 453 -3324) to determine the mitigation fee required. • Southern arroyo willow forest dominated by willows occurs on the project site and could support the least Bell's vireo. Focused surveys to confirm presence /absence of the least Bell's vireo are recommended. If observed, a mitigation plan should be prepared to demonstrate avoidance and minimization efforts to reduce impacts on this species. • If the stream coursing through Buck Gully would be directly or indirectly impacted by the proposed project, focused trapping surveys for southwestern pond turtle are recommended in order to determine the presence or absence of this species within the proposed impact area. • Removal of trees would require an evaluation by the City's Urban Forester. • If construction activities are proposed during the raptor nesting season (February 1 to June 30), a pre- construction survey for active raptor nests would be required. Restrictions may be placed on construction activities in the vicinity of any active nest observed until the nest is no longer active, as determined by a qualified Biologist. Typically, a 300- to 500 -foot buffer zone is designated around an active nest to allow construction to proceed while minimizing disturbance to the active nest. Once the nest is no longer active, as determined by a qualified Biologist, construction can proceed within the buffer zone. The Construction Minimization Measures required by participation in the NCCP will be followed. These measures require that vegetation clearing activities occur outside the gnatcatcher nesting season (February 15 to July 15) and that vegetation clearing is monitored by a qualified Biologist.

The purpose of the survey is to determine the presence or absence of special status plants in the survey area (listed in Table 1). Introduction The survey area is located in Corona Del Mar within the City of Newport Beach in Orange County, California (Exhibit 1). It is located on the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5- minute Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, and Tustin topographic quadrangles; elevation in the survey area ranges between 100 feet above mean sea level and sea level (Exhibit 2). Buck Gully is a natural gully that occurs between Pacific Coast Highway and Little Corona Beach (Exhibit 3). The survey area also includes a portion of Little Corona Beach and the adjacent bluffs. Private residences line either side of the gully, and some residential properties extend into the gully. The surrounding land uses include residential, transportation (Pacific Coast Highway), and recreation (Little Corona Beach). Survey Methodology Prior to the field survey, a literature review was conducted to identify special status plants or vegetation types known from the survey area and vicinity. This included a review of the USGS 7.5- minute Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, and Tustin quadrangles in the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) (CDFG 2009) and California Native Plant Societys (CNPS') Electronic Inventory of Rare and Endanaered Vascular Plants of California (2009). Previous documentation reviewed also includes the Biological Constraints Assessment for the Buck Gully Project Site in Corona Del Mar (BonTerra Consulting 2008). Prior to the 2009 survey, BonTerra Consulting Senior Botanist Sandra Leatherman visited known populations of aphanisma (Aphanisma blitoides ), southern tarplant (Centromadia parryi ssp. australis), salt -marsh bird's beak (Cordylanthus maritimus ssp. maritimus), San Fernando Valley spineflower (Chorizanthe parryi var. fernandina), many- stemmed dudleya ( Dudleya multicaulis), and estuary seablite (Suaeda esteroa). Ms. Leatherman observed these species blooming at known reference populations within a week of the project survey dates. ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Mr. Richard Beck December 8, 2009 Page 2 Ms. Leatherman and BonTerra Consulting Ecologist Jennifer Pareti conducted a survey for early blooming special status plant species on April 14, 2009. A survey for late- blooming special status plant species, focusing on the southern tarplant, was conducted by Ms. Leatherman and Ms. Pareti on July 16, 2009. The surveys were performed using meandering transects through suitable habitat. All plant species observed were recorded in field notes. Hand -held global positioning system (GPS) units were used to record locations of special status plants observed in the survey area. Plant species were identified in the field or collected for subsequent identification. Plants were identified using keys in Hickman (1993), Munz (1974), Abrams (1923, 1944, 1951), and Abrams and Ferris (1960). Taxonomy follows Hickman (1993) and current scientific data (e.g., scientific journals) for scientific and common names. Vegetation types within the survey area include southern coastal bluff scrub, chenopod scrub, coastal freshwater marsh, southern arroyo willow forest, sandy beach, open water, ornamental, and developed (Exhibit 4). Survey Results Table 1 lists the special status plants with potential to occur in the vicinity of the survey area. The results column indicates whether the species was observed during the surveys. Three special status plant species were observed in the southern coastal bluff scrub in the survey area: Santa Catalina Island desert -thorn (Lycium brevipes var. hassei), California box -thorn (Lycium californicum), and woolly seablite (Suaeda taxifolia). More information on these species is included below. A list of all plants observed during the survey can be found in Appendix A.

A specimen was deposited in Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Gardens Herbarium by Ms. Leatherman collection #2009 -21. California Box -thorn (Lycium californicum) California box -thorn is a CNPS List 4.2 species. It typically blooms between March and August, though uncommonly it blooms as early as December (CNPS 2009). This perennial shrub occurs on coastal bluffs in coastal sage scrub (Hickman 1993). It is found in Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and San Diego Counties; on the Channel Islands south to Baja California; and in Mexico (CNPS 2009). A few California box -thorn individuals were observed in the southern portion of the survey area on the cliffs in the coastal bluff scrub during the 2009 surveys. Woolly Seablite (Suaeda taxifolia) Woolly seablite is a CNPS List 4.2 species. It typically blooms between January and December (CNPS 2009). This evergreen shrub occurs on coastal bluffs and margins of salt marshes (Jepson Flora Project 2009). It is found along the southern coast from San Luis Obispo County south to Baja California, Mexico and on the Channel Islands (CNPS 2009; Jepson Flora Project 2009). A few woolly seablite individuals were observed in the southern portion of the survey area on the cliffs and slope in the coastal bluff scrub during the 2009 surveys. Conclusion The three plant species observed during the surveys, the Santa Catalina Island desert -thom, California box -thom and woolly seablite, all occur in the coastal bluff scrub in the survey area. The coastal bluff scrub will not be impacted by the currently proposed project; therefore, there will not be any impacts on these three species, and no mitigation would be required. If the project boundaries are modified and these species would be impacted, mitigation would be required for the Santa Catalina Island desert- thorn, and it would be necessary to determine if the plants are naturally occurring or planted for revegetation purposes.

A Biologist with the necessary experience and California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) scientific collecting permit conducted the surveys. Project Site The project site is located in the Corona del Mar area within the City of Newport Beach (Exhibit 1). It is located on the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS's) Newport 7.5- minute topographic quadrangle and ranges from sea level to 100 feet above mean sea level (msl) (Exhibit 2). Buck Gully is a natural gully that occurs between Pacific Coast Highway and Little Corona Beach (Exhibit 3). The project site also includes a portion of Little Corona Beach and the adjacent bluffs. Private residences line either side of the gully and some residential properties extend into the gully. Vegetation types on the project site include southern coastal bluff scrub, chenopod scrub, coastal freshwater marsh, southern arroyo willow forest, sandy beach, open water, ornamental, and developed (Exhibit 4). A perennial stream flows through Buck Gully. Coastal freshwater marsh is dominated by cattail (Typha sp.) and the stream's open water; the density and height of the cattails increased over the duration of the surveys. Coyote brush (Baccharis pilularis) and castor bean (Ricinus communis) occur along the edges of the coastal freshwater marsh with scattered garden nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus), common celery (Apium graveolens), and African umbrella -sedge (Cyperus involucratus). Southern arroyo willow forest occurs along the upper portion of the stream and is dominated by arroyo willow (Salix lasiolepis), which forms a dense canopy. The understory consists of western poison oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum), California blackberry (Rebus ursinus), California rose (Rosa californica), and yerba mansa (Anemopsis californica). Some ornamental species that have washed down from the residential properties along the slope of the gully are also present along the stream. These include garden nasturtium, sour grass (Oxalis pes- caprae), ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING I RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Mr. Richard Beck November 12, 2009 Page 2 English ivy (Hedera helix), and greater periwinkle (Vinca major). White water cress (Rorippa nasturtium - aquaticum) and Spanish sunflower (Pulicaria paludosa) are also present in areas along the stream. Representative photos of riparian habitat are included in Appendix A. Background The southwestern pond turtle is considered a Species of Special Concern by the CDFG (2009). Habitat destruction for urban (primarily flood control) and agricultural development has resulted in population declines throughout its range (Spinks et al. 2003). The southwestern pond turtle is a relatively flat, dark turtle of moderate size, with a carapace (shell) length that rarely exceeds ten inches (Spinks et al. 2003). The carapace is usually brown or blackish in color with a series of darker spots, lines, or dashes that radiate out from the center of each shield (Stebbins 2003). The southwestern pond turtle is found in ponds, small lakes with abundant vegetation, marshes, reservoirs, seasonal standing or slow- moving streams, canals and sloughs, and occasionally in brackish water (Germano 2001). Sufficient cover (e.g., vegetation, undercut banks) and basking sites are important components of suitable habitat (Spinks et al. 2003). Adults are often observed basking on logs or other objects protruding out of the water or floating in the warmer surface water. This species breeds from April to May (Jennings and Hayes 1994), but the timing is highly variable depending on location and seasonal conditions. Females move from the water to adjacent upland habitats to lay eggs, usually sometime in late May to early July, although it could occur as early as April or as late as August (Ernst et al. 1994). For nest sites, the southwestern pond turtle favors unshaded slopes that typically include a south - facing portion that is likely to ensure that substrate temperatures will be high enough to incubate eggs (Rathburn et al. 2002). Hatchlings over - winter in the nest. Adult turtles in Southern California may be active throughout the winter in warm years or seek out terrestrial refugia (i.e., shelter with appropriate temperature and moisture conditions) in adjacent upland areas during colder years (Jennings and Hayes 1994). Terrestrial refugia are typically covered with dense leaf litter produced by a thick overstory of woody vegetation, including dense riparian thickets of willows (Salix spp.) (Rathburn et al. 2002). Turtles may either choose sites where they can bask in direct sunlight or may bury themselves deep into leaf litter and duff (Rathburn et al. 2002). Survey Methodology The survey methodology was based on survey and census recommendations made by Holland (1991) and survey protocols developed by Reese (1988) and Goodman (1999). Surveys incorporated both visual encounter and live trapping. The surveys were conducted by BonTerra Consulting Ecologist Samuel Stewart (CDFG Scientific Collecting Permit SC- 004421), a Biologist who is familiar with this species and has the appropriate CDFG authorization to trap and handle southwestern pond turtles. The survey area included all aquatic habitat on the project site. Mr. Stewart conducted visual encounter surveys by walking along the banks of the creek and scanning pools for extended periods of time primarily in the morning hours in search of basking or foraging turtles. Mr. Stewart also conducted live trapping, which consisted of placing two nylon funnel traps in flowing or standing water in six locations for a period of up to six hours. He fitted the traps with floats to allow partial submergence, firmly secured traps to the banks, and baited the traps with fresh fish trimmings. Mr. Stewart conducted visual surveys throughout the survey area prior to Mr. Richard Beck November 12, 2009 Page 3 returning to check traps at survey completion. Mr. Stewart conducted the surveys in May 2009 during the breeding season for this species (April to August). He fitted the traps with tags listing the CDFG scientific collecting permit number under which live- trapping was authorized, and recorded and mapped species captured and any pond turtle sightings. Survey Results No southwestern pond turtles were observed in the survey area during the surveys. Therefore, this species is considered absent from the survey area at this time. One non - native amphibian species, African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis), was captured during live- trapping (Table 1). A complete list of wildlife species observed during the surveys is included in Appendix B.

A Biologist with the necessary experience and the federal Endangered Species Act 10(a) survey permit conducted the surveys according to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) protocol. Project Site The project site is located in the Corona del Mar area within the City of Newport Beach (Exhibit 1). It is located on the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS's) Newport Beach 7.5- minute topographic quadrangle and ranges from sea level to 100 feet above mean sea level (msl) (Exhibit 2). Buck Gully is a natural gully that occurs between Pacific Coast Highway and Little Corona Beach (Exhibit 3). The project site also includes a portion of Little Corona Beach and the adjacent bluffs. Private residences line either side of the gully and some residential properties extend into the gully. Vegetation types on the project site include southern coastal bluff scrub, chenopod scrub, coastal freshwater marsh, southern arroyo willow forest, sandy beach, open water, ornamental, and developed (Exhibit 4). A perennial stream flows through Buck Gully. Coastal freshwater marsh is dominated by cattail (Typha sp.) and the stream's open water; the density and height of the cattails increased over the duration of the surveys. Coyote brush (Baccharis pilularis) and castor bean (Ricinus communis) occur along the edges of the coastal freshwater marsh with scattered garden nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus), common celery (Apium graveolens), and African umbrella -sedge (Cyperus involucratus). Southern arroyo willow forest occurs along the upper portion of the stream and is dominated by arroyo willow (Salix lasiolepis), which forms a dense canopy. The understory consists of western poison oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum), California blackberry (Rubus ursinus), California rose (Rosa californica), and yerba mansa (Anemopsis californica). Some ornamental species that have washed down from the residential properties along the slope of the gully are also present along the stream. These include garden nasturtium, sour grass (Oxalis pes- caprae), English ivy (Hedera helix), and greater periwinkle ENVIRONMENTAL PLkNNING I RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Ms. Sandy Marquez September 10, 2009 Page 2 (Vinca major). White water cress (Rorippa nasturtium- aquaticum) and Spanish sunflower (Pulicaria paludosa) are also present in areas along the stream. Representative photos of riparian habitat are included in Appendix A. Background The southwestern willow flycatcher and least Bell's vireo were formerly more common and widespread, but are now rare, local summer residents of Southern California's lowland riparian woodlands (Grinnell and Miller 1944; Garrett and Dunn 1981). The substantial population declines of these two avian species over the latter half of the twentieth century is attributable to the loss and degradation of riparian habitats and brood parasitism by the brown - headed cowbird (Molothrus ater). As a result, the least Bell's vireo was listed by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) as Endangered on October 2, 1980, and by the USFWS as Endangered on May 2, 1986. The CDFG listed all three subspecies of willow flycatcher that breed in California (E. t. brewsteri, E. t. extimus, and E. t. adastus) as Endangered on January 3, 1991. The USFWS listed the southwestern willow flycatcher as Endangered on February 7, 1995 (USFWS 1995). Least Bell's Vireo Bell's vireo is a Neotropical migrant that breeds in central and southwestern North America from northern Mexico to Southern California, Nevada, and Utah; east to Louisiana; and north to North Dakota, Wisconsin, and Indiana in the central United States (AOU 2006). Although not well known, the winter range of the Bell's vireo is believed to be the west coast of Central America from southern Sonora south to northwestern Nicaragua, including the cape region of Baja California, Mexico (Brown 1993). Of the four Bell's vireo subspecies, only two breed in California: the least Bell's vireo and the Arizona Bell's vireo (V. b. arizonae), which breeds in the Colorado River Valley (Garrett and Dunn 1981; Rosenberg et al. 1991). Though the least Bell's vireo was formerly considered a common breeder in riparian habitats throughout the Central Valley and other low elevation riverine systems in California and Baja California, Mexico (Franzreb 1989), presently, the least Bell's vireo has been eliminated from much of its historical range (Franzreb 1989; Brown 1993). The breeding habitat of the least Bell's vireo is primarily riparian dominated by willows with dense understory vegetation; shrubs such as mule fat (Baccharis salicifolia) and California rose are often a component of the understory (Goldwasser 1981). The least Bell's vireo is often found in areas that include trees such as willow (Salix sp.), western sycamore (Platanus racemosa) or cottonwood (Populus sp.), particularly where the canopy is within or immediately adjacent to an understory layer of vegetation (Salata 1983). The least Bell's vireo generally nests in early successional stages of riparian habitats, with nest sites frequently located in willows that are between four and ten years of age (RECON 1988; Franzreb 1989). The most critical factor in habitat structure is the presence of a dense understory shrub layer from approximately two to ten feet above ground (Goldwasser 1981; Salata 1983; Franzreb 1989). On February 2, 1994, the USFWS issued their final determination of critical habitat for the least Bell's vireo (USFWS 1994), identifying approximately 37,560 acres as critical habitat in Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, and San Diego Counties. The survey area is not located in the designated critical habitat area for this species. Least Bell's vireo are known from the project vicinity in areas including Muddy and El Moro canyons within Crystal Cove State Park, San Diego Creek and the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary, Mason Regional Park, the Sand Canyon Reservoir, and the Bonita Canyon Reservoir (Harmsworth 1998, BonTerra Consulting 2008, CDFG 2009). However, during Ms. Sandy Marquez September 10, 2009 Page 3 focused surveys for the Natural Communities Conservation Plan /Habitat Conservation Plan (NCCP /HCP), the least Bell's vireo was not observed in the upper portions of Buck Gully (north of Pacific Coast Highway) (Harmsworth 1998). Southwestern Willow Flycatcher The willow flycatcher is a Neotropical migrant that breeds in the west from northern Baja California, Mexico to central British Colombia, and generally east through the northern half of the United States to the Atlantic coast (AOU 2006). Depending on the authority, there are four or five recognized subspecies of willow flycatcher (Sedgwick 2000). The breeding range of southwestern willow flycatcher includes Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, western Texas, and the extreme southern parts of Nevada and Utah (USFWS 1993). In California, the southwestern willow flycatcher breeds along the coast south of the San Fernando Valley and north in the interior to about Independence, Inyo County ( Unitt 1987). The largest breeding populations of southwestern willow flycatcher in California are located at the South Fork of the Kern River in Kern County and on the Santa Margarita River in Camp Pendleton in San Diego County ( Unitt 1987). The range -wide population of southwestern willow flycatcher is estimated at between 300 and 500 pairs (USFWS 1997). The population of southwestern willow flycatcher in California is estimated to be about 70 pairs (USFWS 1993). More recent estimates for California include a total of 200 territories in 2004 (Durst et al. 2005), which indicates that the California population may slowly be recovering. The southwestern willow flycatcher breeds in willow- dominated riparian habitats that are similar to least Bell's vireo nesting habitats. The southwestern willow flycatcher differs from least Bell's vireo in that it shows a stronger dependency on willow thickets for all its requirements (Grinnell and Miller 1944). In addition, the southwestern willow flycatcher appears to have a preference for sites with surface water in the vicinity, such as along streams, on the margins of a pond or lake, and at wet mountain meadows (Grinnell and Miller 1944; Flett and Sanders 1987; Harris et al. 1987). In Arizona, the southwestern willow flycatcher invariably nests near surface water (Phillips et al. 1964). Recently, the southwestern willow flycatcher has adapted to introduced vegetation present in riparian communities, such as tamarisk (Tamarix sp.) and Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia) (USFWS 1993). The willow flycatcher is a common migrant in the interior of California and a rare -to- uncommon migrant along the coastal slope, with most birds moving through Southern California between May 15 and June 20 (Garrett and Dunn 1981; Unitt 1987). The spring southwestern willow flycatcher migration is earlier than that of the northern subspecies ( Unitt 1984, USFWS 1993). As a result, the presence of more abundant subspecies that migrate through the range of the southwestern willow flycatcher during its breeding season complicates surveys for nesting southwestern willow flycatchers. On October 19, 2005, the USFWS published a final rule designating critical habitat for the southwestern willow flycatcher (USFWS 2005). This final rule designated 120,824 acres in Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah as critical habitat. Of that, 17,212 acres were designated in Kern, Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, and San Diego Counties, California. The survey area is not located in designated critical habitat for this species. During focused surveys for the NCCP /HCP, no breeding or territorial southwestern willow flycatchers were observed anywhere in the Central /Coastal Subregion (Harmsworth 1998), and the southwestern willow flycatcher was considered extirpated as a breeding species from Orange County (Hamilton and Wlllick 1996, Gallagher 1997). Since these surveys were conducted, one breeding location was reported from Canada Gobernadora on Rancho Mission Viejo in 2001 and 2003 (CDFG 2009), and one potential location was reported from Featherly Ms. Sandy Marquez September 10, 2009 Page 4 Regional Park along the Santa Ana River in 1999, but breeding was not confirmed (CDFG 2009). Survey Methodology The USFWS protocol for the least Bell's vireo requires that at least eight surveys be conducted from April 10 to July 31 with a ten -day interval between each site visit. The USFWS protocol for the southwestern willow flycatcher requires a total of five surveys with the first survey conducted between May 15 and May 31; the second survey between June 1 and June 21; and the third through fifth surveys between June 22 and July 17. BonTerra Consulting Ecologist Amber Oneal (Permit# TE148554 -1) conducted surveys on April 10, 20, and 30; May 11 and 21; June 1, 11, 22, and 29; and July 6, 2009. Ms. Oneal systematically surveyed the riparian habitats by walking slowly using meandering transects through the riparian habitat in the survey area. Following the willow flycatcher protocol, recorded vocalizations were used to elicit a response from any potentially territorial southwestern willow flycatchers. If no southwestern willow flycatchers were detected after the initial tape playing, Ms. Oneal replayed the recording at least once, but often multiple times. As the least Bell's vireo survey protocol does not require the playback of least Bell's vireo vocalizations, recorded least Bell's vireo vocalizations were not used during the surveys. "Pishing" sounds were used to elicit responses from any southwestern willow flycatchers or least Bell's vireo present. All surveys were conducted under optimal weather conditions (i.e., between 55 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit with wind speeds between 0 and 15 miles per hour) and during early morning hours when bird activity is at a peak. Ms. Oneal recorded all bird species detected during the survey (Appendix B). Survey Results No least Bell's vireo or willow flycatchers (of any subspecies) were observed in the survey area during the surveys. Therefore, these species are considered absent from the survey area at this time. A complete list of wildlife species observed during the surveys is included in Appendix B. Yellow warbler, a CDFG Species of Special Concern, was observed in the southern arroyo willow forest in April and May 2009, but it was not observed during the June and July 2009 visits. A California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) form will not be submitted for this species because individuals observed did not breed in the survey area; they were assumed to be migrants. A black- crowned night heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) roost was observed in a group of gum (Eucalyptus sp.) trees next to a large ponding area in the southeastern portion of the survey area on June 29, 2009. It is unknown whether the species bred in the survey area; however, the survey area provides suitable trees that could be used as a rookery. The CDFG considers the black- crowned night heron to be a Species of Special Concern when at rookery sites. Because breeding was not confirmed, a CNDDB form will not be submitted. However, if vegetation clearing would occur during the breeding season (March to June) for the heron, it is recommended that a pre- construction survey be conducted to avoid impacts on this species. If a rookery is observed, it should be protected until young have fledged from the nests. This pre - construction survey can likely be combined with the pre- construction survey for raptor nests. Brown- headed cowbirds were present in the survey area throughout the duration of the surveys. An average of five cowbirds were observed during each survey. A high count of 16 cowbirds Ms. Sandy Marquez September 10, 2009 Page 5 was observed on July 6, 2009, and 9 cowbirds were observed on April 30, 2009. A lesser goldfinch (Carduelis psa/tria) was observed feeding a juvenile brown - headed cowbird, and a juvenile brown - headed cowbird was observed flocking with juvenile house finches (Carpodacus mexicanus) on July 16, 2009, indicating that the brown -head cowbird likely parasitized nests in the survey area.

The purpose of the surveys was to determine the presence or absence of the coastal California gnatcatcher on or immediately adjacent to the project site. Surveys were conducted by a Biologist holding the necessary Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) survey permit, according to guidelines established by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Project Site The project site is located in the Corona del Mar area within the City of Newport Beach (Exhibit 1). It is located on the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS's) Newport 7.5- minute topographic quadrangle and ranges from sea level to 100 feet above mean sea level (msl) (Exhibit 2). Buck Gully is a natural gully that occurs between Pacific Coast Highway and Little Corona Beach (Exhibit 3). The project site also includes a portion of Little Corona Beach and the adjacent bluffs. Private residences line either side of the gully and some residential properties extend into the gully. Vegetation types on the project site include southern coastal bluff scrub, chenopod scrub, coastal freshwater marsh, southern arroyo willow forest, sandy beach, open water, ornamental, and developed (Exhibit 4). Vegetation types surveyed for coastal California gnatcatcher included southern coastal bluff scrub, chenopod scrub, and portions of the riparian habitat types that included coyote brush (Bacchads pilularis) and California sagebrush (Artemisia californica) along their margins (i.e., coastal freshwater marsh, southern arroyo willow forest). The southern coastal bluff scrub vegetation type occurs on the bluff adjacent Beach in the southern portion of the project site. Southern coastal bluff scrub is mix of seablite (Suaeda sp.), box thorn (Lycium sp.), coastal cholla (Opuntia prolifera), California buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum), and bush sunflower (Encelia californica), with California sagebrush, lemonadeberry (Rhus integrifolia), slender - leaved iceplant (Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum), and red hot poker (Kniphofia uvaria) occurring at lower to Little Corona composed of a ENVIRONMENTAL Ms. Sandy Marquez June 15, 2009 Page 2 densities. Southern coastal bluff scrub transitions to coastal sage scrub along the bluffs upstream and seablite and box thorn become less dense in this area. Chenopod scrub is composed of big saltbush (Atriplex lentiformis). Site photos are included in Appendix A. Background Recent taxonomic studies indicate that the California gnatcatcher consists of four subspecies, which extend from southwestern California to southern Baja California, Mexico (Atwood and Lerman 2006; Mellink and Rea 1994). The coastal California gnatcatcher, the northernmost gnatcatcher subspecies, is restricted to lowland areas from central Ventura County through Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, and San Diego Counties to the Baja California, Mexico border (Atwood and Lerman 2006; Mellink and Rea 1994). Formerly, the coastal California gnatcatcher was common from the San Fernando Valley, east along the base of the San Gabriel Mountains to Claremont (Atwood 1990). The coastal California gnatcatcher is now rare in the northern part of its range with a few sightings from Santa Clarita to Tujunga Wash, though a small population persists near Moorpark in Ventura County. The coastal California gnatcatcher has been recorded from sea level to approximately 3,000 feet above msl ( USFWS 2003); however, greater than 90 percent of gnatcatcher records are from elevations below 820 feet msl along the coast (Atwood and Bolsinger 1992; MBA 1991) and below 1,800 feet above ms] inland. The USFWS has recently estimated the population size of the coastal California gnatcatcher in Southern California to be about 3,000 pairs (Atwood and Bontrager 2001). The coastal California gnatcatcher typically occurs within coastal and inland sage scrub vegetation types, which often occur in a patchy distribution pattern throughout the gnatcatcher's. range. Coastal California gnatcatchers also use chaparral, grassland, and riparian habitats that are in proximity to sage scrub for dispersal and foraging (Atwood et al. 1998; Campbell et al. 1998; USFWS 2003). Availability of these non -sage scrub areas is essential during certain times of the year, particularly during drought conditions, or for dispersal, foraging, or nesting ( USFWS 2003). On March 25, 1993, the USFWS designated the coastal California gnatcatcher a Threatened species. A Special Rule was issued that would allow incidental take of the coastal California gnatcatcher under Section 9 of the FESA if the take is a result of activities conducted in accordance with the State's Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP) Act ( USFWS 1993). The City of Newport Beach is a participant in the Central - Coastal Subregional NCCP /Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP); therefore 0 present, take of the coastal California gnatcatcher is covered in accordance with the NCCP /HCP Implementation Agreement with payment of a mitigation fee. On December 19, 2007, the USFWS published a Final Rule that revises critical habitat and designates 197,303 acres of land in San Diego, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Ventura Counties as critical habitat for the coastal Calif omia gnatcatcher ( USFWS 2007). The project site is not located within the designated critical habitat area for this species. Coastal California gnatcatchers are known from several locations within the project vicinity including upper portions of Buck Gully (north of Pacific Coast Highway) and Crystal Cove State Park (Orange County 1996), San Diego Creek (BonTerra Consulting 2007), and Bonita Canyon Reservoir (CDFG 2009). Ms. Sandy Marquez June 15, 2009 Page 3 Survey Methodology The USFWS's survey protocol for the. coastal California gnatcatcher recommends three visits to all potentially occupied habitat areas within participating NCCP jurisdictions ( USFWS 1997a, 1997b). Although surveys may be conducted year- round, the USFWS recommends conducting surveys in the gnatcatcher breeding season, which extends from March 15 to June 30. All visits must take place during the morning hours, and no more than 100 acres of suitable habitat may be surveyed per visit. Following the USFWS protocol for the species, BonTerra Consulting Senior Ecologist Amber Oneal ( USFWS Permit #TE148554 -1) conducted three surveys for the gnatcatcher on April 10, 20, and 30, 2009. Ms. Oneal also surveyed the project site for least Bell's vireo (Vireo bellli pusillus) on May 11, 21, and June 1 and 11, 2009, and would have noted any gnatcatchers if incidentally observed. Ms. Oneal avoided weather conditions that were too cold (below 55 degrees Fahrenheit [ °F]), too hot (above 95 0F), or too windy (wind speed greater than 15 miles per hour) in order to meet the weather conditions under the USFWS survey protocol requirements for optimal gnatcatcher detection. Ms. Oneal conducted the surveys by slowly walking through all appropriate habitats while listening and watching for gnatcatcher activity, and by using a combination of taped recordings of gnatcatcher vocalizations and "pishing" sounds to elicit responses from any gnatcatchers present. The frequency of vocalization playback and "pishing" varied depending on conditions such as habitat patch size, topography in each area, and ambient noise conditions. All bird species detected during the survey were recorded, including notable observations of special status species or other birds (Appendix B). Survey Results No coastal California gnatcatchers were observed during the surveys. During the surveys, Ms. Oneal noted that much of the southern coastal bluff scrub is watered with overhead irrigation regularly, which may deter birds from nesting within the irrigated area. A complete list of wildlife species observed during the surveys is included in Appendix B. Yellow warbler, a California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) Species of Special Concern, was observed in the southern arroyo willow forest in April and May 2009, but it was not observed during the two June 2009 visits to date. A California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) form will not be submitted for this species unless the species is observed on one of the remaining least Bell's vireo /southwestern willow flycatcher survey visits and breeding is confirmed in the survey area. Otherwise, the individuals observed will be assumed to be migrants. BonTerra Consulting has appreciated the opportunity to assist with this project.

Buck Gully Canyon Restoration Project iii Section 1 Introduction and Purpose This delineation was prepared for the City of Newport Beach (City) in order to delineate the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board's (Regional Board), California Department of Fish and Game's (CDFG), and California Coastal Commission's jurisdictional authority for drainages located within the Buck Gully Canyon Restoration Project, herein referred to as the project site. The project site is located within the City of Newport Beach, County of Orange, State of California, T.7S, R.9W, San Bernardino Base and Meridian (SBBM) (refer to Exhibit 1, Regional Vicinity). Specifically, the project site is located upstream from the Pacific Ocean and extends northeast to Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) (refer to Exhibit 2, Site Vicinity). The project site is situated within Buck Gully Canyon. This delineation has been designed to document the authority of the regulatory agencies, the methodology undertaken by RBF Consulting (RBF) to document jurisdictional authority, and the findings made by RBF within the boundaries of the project site. This report presents our best effort at determining the jurisdictional boundaries using the most up -to -date regulations, written policy, and guidance from the regulatory agencies; however, only the regulatory agencies can make a final determination of jurisdictional boundaries. 1.1 PROJECT SITE BACKGROUND The project site is located within the coastal zone and is within a preserve area designated by the Coastal Subregion of Orange County's Natural Community Conservation Plan /Habitat Conservation Plan (refer to Exhibit 3, Project Site). The project site is surrounded by residential uses. On -site elevations range from approximately 10 feet above mean sea level (ms]) to 100 feet above ms]. Buck Gully consists of a natural stream draining a watershed of about two (2) square miles. Urbanized effects (i.e. encroachments, sediment loss, reduction in pervious areas, invasive plants, nuisance runoff, etc.) over the past 50 years have impacted the stream; particularly in the downstream reach from PCH to Little Corona Beach. Erosion and dynamic sediment processes have resulted in split flows, debris islands, and low -flow impingement along the toe of canyon slopes. 1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project consists of sedimentation control measures for the purposes of aquatic restoration and enhancement. Restoration efforts will include three (3) outfall structures, five (5) gabian structures or groyns, and associated grading.

Buck Gully Canyon Restoration Project 5 Section 2 Summary of Regulations There are four (4) key agencies that regulate activities within coastal streams, wetlands, and riparian areas in California. The Corps Regulatory Branch regulates activities pursuant to Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA), and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act. Of the State agencies, the CDFG regulates activities under the Fish and Game Code Section 1600 -1616, the Regional Board regulates activities pursuant to Section 401 of the CWA and the California Porter - Cologne Water Quality Control Act, and the CCC regulates development activities pursuant to the California Coastal Act of 1976. 2.1 U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS The Corps has regulatory authority over the discharge of dredged or fill material into the waters of the United States (WoUS) under Section 404 of the CWA. The Corps and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) define "fill material' to include any "material placed in waters of the United States where the material has the effect of (i) Replacing any portion of a water of the United States with dry land; or (ii) Changing the bottom elevation of any portion of the waters of the United States." Examples include, but are not limited to sand, rock, clay, construction debris, wood chips, and "materials used to create any structure or infrastructure in the waters of the United States." The term WoUS includes the following: (1) all waters that have, are, or may be used in interstate or foreign commerce (including sightseeing or hunting), including all waters subject to the ebb and flow of the tide; (2) wetlands; (3) all waters such as interstate lakes, rivers, streams (including intermittent streams), mudflats, sandflats, wetlands, sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, playa lakes, or natural ponds; the use, degradation or destruction of which could affect interstate or foreign commerce; (4) all impoundments of water mentioned above; (5) all tributaries of waters mentioned above; (6) the territorial seas; and, (7) all wetlands adjacent to the waters mentioned above. Wetlands, a subset of jurisdictional waters, are jointly defined by the Corps and EPA as "those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas. The process in which jurisdictional areas (if any) are identified is further discussed in Section 3.0, Methodology. The Corps' regulatory program continues to evolve due to court rulings associated with litigation. The following court cases have further defined the Corps' jurisdiction: 2.1.1 SWANCC (Isolated Conditions) A significant change in federal wetland regulation occurred on January 9, 2001, when the U.S. Supreme Court issued the decision on Solid Waste Agency of'Northern Cook County v. Corps ( SWANCC). The CWA Section 404 only regulates "navigable waters." In the past, the Corps and EPA interpreted the term WoUS broadly, to the extent that it reflected Congress' intention to regulate all waters that the Congress could constitutionally regulate under its commerce power (Commerce Clause). Specifically, if the water had any possible connection to interstate commerce, it fell within the scope of the CWA and under the Corps' jurisdiction. The Corps stated that WoUS includes, among other things, intrastate waters: (1) that are or would be used as habitat by birds protected by migratory bird treaties; or (2) that are or would be used as habitat by other migratory birds that cross state lines; or (3) that are or would be used as habitat for endangered species; or (4) that are or would be used to irrigate crops sold in interstate commerce. This approach was referred to as The Migratory Bird Rule. Although the SWANCC site was not a wetland, the Corps found that approximately 121 bird species dependent on aquatic environments were observed at the site, therefore, the site contained jurisdictional waters. SWANCC sued to challenge the Corps' jurisdiction over the site, claiming that the Corps could not regulate non- navigable, isolated, intrastate waters based on the presence of migratory birds, and that Congress lacked authority under the Commerce Clause to grant the Corps such jurisdiction in any event. Overall, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the finding and invalidated the Migratory Bird Rule. It held that the rule is not a fairly supported interpretation of the term WoUS, and the Corps exceeded its jurisdiction by interpreting the CWA's reach to include isolated, inland, non - navigable waters. This delineation reflects the U.S. Supreme Court's decision and guidance from the Corps, which indicates non - navigable, isolated, intrastate waters (based on the presence of migratory birds) are no longer under the Corps' jurisdiction. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

United States (Rapanos) case further limited the definition of wetlands and WoUS under the CWA. The Rapanos decision was a 4 -1 -4 decision in which four justices advocated a narrower interpretation of the CWA to hold that WoUS excludes intermittent or ephemeral streams and wetlands without a continuous surface connection to navigable waters. The Corps and EPA released a memorandum on June 5, 2007, in order to provide guidance in implementing the U.S. Supreme Court's Rapanos decision. In accordance with the Rapanos decision, the Corps will continue to assert jurisdiction over traditional navigable water (TNW) and all wetlands adjacent to TNWs; however, jurisdiction can be asserted over a waters, including wetlands, that is not a TNW by meeting either of the following standards: (1) Relatively permanent (RPW) non - navigable tributaries of TNW and wetlands with a continuous surface connection with such tributaries; or, (2) Certain adjacent and non - navigable tributaries that are not relatively permanent. This requires a case -by -case "significant nexus" analysis to determine whether waters and their adjacent wetlands are jurisdictional. A "significant nexus" may be found where waters, including adjacent wetlands, affect chemical, physical or biological integrity of TNWs. This delineation reflects the U.S. Supreme Court's decision and guidance from the Corps, which requires a significant nexus for waters and wetlands in the absence of TNWs. 2.2 REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD The nine (9) Regional Boards have the responsibility for protecting water quality in California. The Regional Board regulates discharges to surface waters under the Federal CWA and the California Porter - Cologne Water Quality Control Act. The Regional Board's jurisdiction extends to all waters of the State (including SWANCC and Rapanos conditions) and to all WoUS (including wetlands). Section 401 of the CWA gives the Regional Board the authority to regulate through 401 Certification any proposed federally permitted activity, which may affect water quality. Among such activities are discharges of dredged or fill material permitted by the Corps pursuant to Section 404 of the CWA. Section 401 requires the Regional Board to provide "certification that there is reasonable assurance that an activity which may result in the discharge to waters of the United States will not violate water quality standards." Water Quality Certification must be based on a finding that the proposed discharge will comply . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The California Porter - Cologne Water Quality Control Act gives the State very broad authority to regulate waters of the State, which are defined as any surface water or groundwater, including saline waters. The Porter- Cologne has become an important tool in the post SWANCC and Rapanos decisions, with respect to the State's authority over isolated and insignificant waters. Generally, any person proposing to discharge waste into a water body that could affect its water quality must file a Report of Waste Discharge (ROWD), should there be no Section 404/401 nexus. Although "waste" is partially defined as any waste substance associated with human habitation, the Regional Board also interprets this to include fill discharged into water bodies. 2.3 CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME Historically, the State of California regulated activities in rivers, streams, and lakes pursuant to Sections 1600 -1607 of the California Fish and Game Code. Legislation that took effect on January 1, 2004 repealed Fish and Game Code Sections 1600 -1607 and added Fish and Game Code Sections 1600 -1616. There is no longer separation between private /public notifications (previously 1601/1603). Fish and Game Code Sections 1600 -1616 establish a fee based process to ensure that projects conducted in and around lakes, rivers, or streams do not adversely impact fish and wildlife resources, or, when adverse impacts cannot be avoided, ensures that adequate mitigation and/or compensation is provided. Fish and Game Code Section 1602 requires any person, state or local governmental agency, or public utility to notify the CDFG before beginning any activity that will do one or more of the following: (1) substantially obstruct or divert the natural flow of a river, stream, or lake; (2) substantially change or use any material from the bed, channel, or bank of a river, stream, or lake; or (3) deposit or dispose of debris, waste, or other material containing crumbled, flaked, or ground pavement where it can pass into a river, stream, or lake. This notification process is referred to as a 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement (SAA). Fish and Game Code Section 1602 applies to all perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral rivers, streams, and lakes in the state.

Generally, the CDFG takes jurisdiction to the top of bank of the stream or to the outer limit of the adjacent riparian vegetation (outer drip line), whichever is greater. Notification is generally required for any project that will take place in or in the vicinity of a river, stream, lake, or their tributaries. This includes rivers or streams that flow at least periodically or permanently through a bed or channel with banks that support fish or other aquatic life and watercourses having a surface or subsurface flow that support or have supported riparian vegetation. Any of the below criteria could be applicable in determining what constitutes a stream depending on the potential for the proposed activity to adversely affect fish and other stream - dependent wildlife resources. (1) The term stream can include intermittent and ephemeral streams, rivers, creeks, dry washes, sloughs, blue -line streams based on United States Geological Survey (USGS) maps, and watercourses with subsurface flows. Canals, aqueducts, irrigation ditches, and other means of water conveyance can also be considered streams if they support aquatic life, riparian vegetation, or stream- dependent terrestrial wildlife. (2) Biological components of a stream, may include aquatic and riparian vegetation, all aquatic animals including fish, amphibians, reptiles, invertebrates, and terrestrial species which derive benefits from the stream system. (3) As a physical system, a stream not only includes water (at least on an intermittent or ephemeral basis), but also a bed or channel, a bank and/or levee, instream features such as logs or snags, and various flood plains depending on the return frequency of the flood event being considered (i.e. 10, 50, or 100 years, etc). (4) The lateral extent of a stream can be measured in several ways depending on a particular situation and the type of fish or wildlife resource at risk. The following criteria are presented in order from the most inclusive to the least inclusive: (a) The flood plain of a stream can be the broadest measurement of a stream's lateral extent depending on the return frequency of the flood event used. For most flood control purposes, the 100 -year flood plain exists for many streams. However, the 100 -year flood plain may include significant amounts of upland or urban habitat and therefore may not be appropriate in many cases.

In most cases, the use of this criterion should result in protecting the fish and wildlife resources at risk. (c) Most streams have a natural bank which confines flows to the bed or channel except during flooding. In some instances, particularly on smaller streams or dry washes with little or no riparian habitat, the bank should be used to mark lateral extent of a stream. (d) A levee or other artificial stream bank would also be used to mark the lateral extent of a stream. However, in many instances, there can be extensive areas of valuable riparian habitat located behind a levee. 2.4 CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION The CCC was established by voter initiative in 1972 (Proposition 20) and later made permanent by the Legislature through adoption of the California Coastal Act of 1976. The CCC, in partnership with coastal cities and counties, plans and regulates the use of land and water in the coastal zone. Development activities, which are broadly defined by the Coastal Act to include (among others) construction of buildings, divisions of land, and activities that change the intensity of use of land or public access to coastal waters, generally require a coastal permit from either the CCC or the local government. The Coastal Act includes specific policies that address issues such as shoreline public access and recreation, lower cost visitor accommodations, terrestrial and marine habitat protection, visual resources, landform alteration, agricultural lands, commercial fisheries, industrial uses, water quality, offshore oil and gas development, transportation, development design, power plants, ports, and public works. The policies of the Coastal Act constitute the statutory standards applied to planning and regulatory decisions made by the CCC and by local governments, pursuant to the Coastal Act. Jurisdictional Areas within the Coastal Zone: A comprehensive classification system of wetlands and deepwater habitats (also referred to as the "Cowardin Wetland Classification System ") was developed for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in order to create the National Inventory of Wetlands. Under this hierarchical system, classification is based on hydrologic regime, vegetative community, and to a lesser extent on water chemistry and soils. The classification includes both wetlands and deepwater habitats. The Cowardin system includes several layers of detail for wetland classification including: a subsystem of water flow, classes of substrate types, subclasses of . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Overall, the Cowardin system and the Corps Section 404 regulations define wetlands differently. The most significant difference is that the Cowardin system defines wetlands to include mudflats and other wet areas that lack vegetation. According to the classification, the USFWS defines wetlands as follows: "Wetlands are lands transitional between terrestrial and aquatic systems where the water table is usually at or near the surface or the land is covered by shallow water. For purposes of this classification, wetlands must have one or more of the following three attributes: (1) at least periodically, the land supports predominately hydrophytes; (2) the substrate is predominately undrained hydric soil; and (3) the substrate is non -soil and is saturated with water or covered by shallow water at some time during the growing season of each year." At the State and regional levels, the CDFG and the CCC, accept the USFWS definition and use it as a guide in identifying wetlands and in implementing their wetland policies. The Coastal Act (PRC Section 30121) defines "wetlands" as "lands within the Coastal Zone which may be covered periodically or permanently with shallow water and include saltwater marshes, freshwater marshes, open or closed brackish water marshes, swamps, mudflats, and fens." In addition, the Coastal Act (PRC Section 30107.5) defines environmentally sensitive areas in a manner that would include rivers, streams or other aquatic habitat. The Coastal Act defines wetland fill (Section 30233(a)) as the following: The diking, filling, or dredging of open coastal waters, wetlands, estuaries, and lakes shall be permitted in accordance with other applicable provisions of this division, where there is no feasible less environmentally damaging alternative, and where feasible mitigation measures have been provided to minimize adverse environmental effects, and shall be limited to the following: (1) New or expanded port, energy, and coastal- dependent industrial facilities, including commercial fishing facilities. (2) Maintaining existing or restoring previously dredged depths in existing navigational channels, turning basins, vessel berthing and mooring areas, and boat launching ramps. (3) In wetland areas only, entrance channels for new or expanded boating facilities; and in a degraded wetland, identified by the Department of Fish and Game pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 30411, for boating facilities if, in conjunction with such boating facilities, a substantial portion of the degraded wetland is restored and maintained as a biologically productive wetland, provided, however, that in no . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Both permanent and temporary impacts are regulated and would therefore trigger the need for permits. There are two (2) different permit categories utilized by the Corps, which include either a Nationwide Permit (NWP) or Individual Permit (IP). The specific permit required is primarily based on project description and jurisdictional impacts. The Corps will not issue its authorization until the Regional Board completes the Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Processing of the 401 Certification with the Regional Board and 1602 SAA with the CDFG can occur concurrently with the Corps permit process, since the agencies can utilize the same information and analysis. A ROWD is required by the Regional Board if SWANCC or Rapanos waters are present. Applications to both the Regional Board and the CDFG require submittal of a valid California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document along with the application. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Buck Gully Canyon Restoration Project 13 Section 3 Methodology Analysis presented in this document consists of field surveys and verification of current conditions conducted on March 6, 2007. While in the field, jurisdictional areas were recorded onto a base map at scale of V = 100' using the topographic contours and visible landmarks as guidelines. KA MILTi_A r a :kY•» r: i =101IRM -3 a 0 &1 IEIN= The limits of the Corps' jurisdiction in non -tidal waters extend to the ordinary high water mark (OHWM), which is defined as "... that line on the shore established by the fluctuations of water and indicated by physical characteristics such as a clear, natural line impressed on the bank, shelving, changes in the character of soil, destruction of terrestrial vegetation, the presence of litter and debris, or other appropriate means that consider the characteristics of the surrounding areas (33 CFR §328.3(e))." An OHWM can be determined by the observation of a natural line impressed on the bank; shelving; changes in the character of the soil; destruction of terrestrial vegetation; presence of litter and debris; wracking; vegetation matted down, bent, or absent; sediment sorting; leaf litter disturbed or washed away; scour; deposition; multiple observed flow events; bed and banks; water staining; and/or change in plant community. The Regional Board shares Corps jurisdictional methodology, unless SWANCC or Rapanos conditions are present. In the latter case, the Regional Board considers such drainages to be jurisdictional. The CDFG's jurisdiction is defined to the top of bank of the stream/channel or to the limit (outer dripline) of the adjacent riparian vegetation. 3.2 WETLANDS For this project location, Corps jurisdictional wetlands are delineated using the methods outlined in the Interim Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region (Corps, 2006). The methodology set forth in the Interim Regional Supplement is based on the following three (3) indicators that are normally present in wetlands: (1) hydrology providing permanent or periodic inundation by groundwater or surface water, (2) hydric soils, and (3) hydrophytic vegetation. In order to be considered a wetland, an area must exhibit at least minimal hydric characteristics within these three parameters. Both Regional Board and CDFG jurisdictional wetlands encompass that of the Corps. In the field, vegetation, soils, and evidence of hydrology were examined via the methodology listed below and documented on Corps' wetland data sheets, when applicable. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

These plants, known as hydrophytic vegetation, are listed in regional publications of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). In general, hydrophytic vegetation is present when the plant community is dominated by species that can tolerate prolonged inundation or soil saturation during growing season. Hydrophytic vegetation decisions are based on the assemblage of plant species growing on a site, rather than the presence or absence of particular indicator species. Vegetation strata are sampled separately when evaluating indicators of hydrophytic vegetation. A stratum for sampling purposes is defined as having 5 percent or more total plant cover. The following vegetation strata are recommended for use across the Arid West: ♦ Tree Stratum: Consists of woody plants 3 inches or more in diameter at breast height (DBH); ♦ Sapling /Shrub Stratum: Consists of woody plants less than 3 inches in DBH, regardless of height; ♦ Herb Stratum: Consists of all herbaceous (non- woody) plants, including herbaceous vines, regardless of size; and, ♦ Woody Vines: Consists of all woody vines, regardless of size. The following indicators are applied in the sequence presented. Hydrophytic vegetation is present if any of the indicators is satisfied. Indicator 1 — Dominance Test Cover of vegetation is estimated and is ranked according to their dominance. Species that contribute to a cumulative total of 50% of the total dominant coverage, plus any species that comprise at least 20% (also known as the "50/20 rule ") of the total dominant coverage are recorded on a wetland data sheet. Wetland indicator status is assigned to each species using The List of Plant Species that Occur in Wetlands (USFWS, 1988). If greater than 50% of the dominant species from all strata were Obligate, Facultative - wetland, or Facultative species, the criteria for wetland vegetation was considered to be met. Plant indicator status categories are described below: ♦ Obligate Wetland (OBL): 'Plants that occur almost always (estimated >99 percent) in wetlands under natural conditions, but which may also occur rarely (estimated <1 percent) in non - wetlands (i.e., cattail or pickleweed); . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Indicator 2 — Prevalence Index The prevalence index is used to determine whether hydrophytic vegetation is present on sites where indicators of hydric soil and wetland hydrology are present but the vegetation initially fails the dominance test. The prevalence index takes in consideration all plant species in the community, not just a few dominants. The prevalence index is a weighted- average wetland indicator status of all plant species in the sampling plot, where each indicator status category is given a numeric code (OBL = 1, FACW = 2, FAC = 3, FACU = 4, and UPL = 5) and weighing is abundance (percent cover). Hydrophytic vegetation is present if the prevalence index is 3.0 or less. Indicator 3 — Plant Morphological Adaptations Plant morphological adaptations can be used to distinguish certain wetland plant communities in the Arid West, when indicators of hydric soil and wetland hydrology are present. Some hydrophytes develop easily recognized physical characters, or morphological adaptations, when they occur in wetland areas. Common morphological adaptations include, but are not necessarily limited to, adventitious roots and shallow root systems developed on or near the soil surface. To apply this indicator, these morphological features must be observed on more than 50 percent of the individuals of a FACU species living in an area where indicators of hydric soil and wetland hydrology are present. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Group B — Evidence of Recent Inundation Group B consist of evidence that the site is subject to flooding or ponding, although it may not be inundated currently. These indicators include water marks, drift deposits, sediment deposits, and similar features. Group C — Evidence of Recent Soil Saturation Group C consist of indirect evidence that the soil was saturated recently. Some of these indicators, such as oxidized rhizopheres surrounding living roots and the presence of reduced iron or sulfur in the soil profile, indicate that the soil has been saturated for an extended period. Group D — Evidence from Other Site Conditions or Data Group D consist of vegetation and soil features that indicate contemporary rather than historical wet conditions, and include shallow aquitard and the FAC- neutral test. If wetland vegetation criteria is met, the presence of wetland hydrology is evaluated at each transect by recording the extent of observed surface flows, depth of inundation, depth to saturated soils, and depth to free water in the soil test pits. The lateral extent of the hydrology indicators are used as a guide for locating soil pits for evaluation of hydric soils and jurisdictional areas. In portions of the stream where the flow is divided by multiple channels with intermediate sand bars, the entire area between the channels is considered within the OHWM and the wetland hydrology indicator is considered met for the entire area. 3.2.3 Soils A hydric soil is a soil that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper 16 inches.

It should also be noted that the limits of wetland hydrology indicators are used as a guide for locating soil pits. If any hydric soil features are located, progressive pits are dug moving laterally away from the active channel until hydric features are no longer present within the top 16 inches of the soil profile. Once in the field, soil characteristics are verified by digging soil pits along each transect to a depth of at least 16 inches; in areas of high sediment deposition, soil pit depth may be increased. Soil pit locations are usually placed within the drainage invert or within adjoining vegetation. At each soil pit, the soil texture and color are recorded by comparison with standard plates within a Munsell Soil Chart (1994). Mansell Soil Charts aid in designating color labels to soils, based by degrees of three simple variables -hue, value, and chroma. Any indicators of hydric soils, such as organic accumulation; iron reduction, translocation, and accumulation; and sulfate reduction are also recorded. Hydric soil indicators are present in three (3) groups, which include: All Soils All soils refers to soils with any United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) soil texture. Hydric soil indicators within this group include histosol, histic epipedon, black histic, hydrogen sulfide, stratified layers, 1 cm muck, depleted below dark surface, and thick dark surface. Sand Sandy soils refers to soil materials with a USDA soil texture of loamy fine sand and coarser. Hydric soil indicators within this group include sandy mucky mineral, sandy gleyed matrix, sandy redox, and stripped matrix. Loamy and Clayey Soils Loamy and clayey soils refers to soil materials with a USDA soil texture of loamy very fine sand and finer. Hydric soil indicators within this group include loamy mucky mineral, loamy gleyed matrix, depleted matrix, redox dark surface, depleted dark surface, redox depressions, and vernal pools. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In the presence of isolated conditions, the Regional Board and CDFG take jurisdiction via the OHWM /streambed and/or the 3- parameter wetland methodology utilized by the Corps. 3.4 RAPANOS WATERS The Corps will assert jurisdiction over non- navigable, not relatively permanent tributaries and their adjacent wetlands where such tributaries and wetlands that have a significant nexus to a TNW. The flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself in combination with the functions performed by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the TNWs. Factors considered in the significant nexus evaluation include: (1) The consideration of hydrologic factors including, but not limited to, the following: • volume, duration, and frequency of flow, including consideration of certain physical characteristics of the tributary • proximity to the TNW • size of the watershed • average annual rainfall • average annual winter snow pack (2) The consideration of ecologic factors including, but not limited to, the following: • the ability for tributaries to carry pollutants and floodwaters to TN Ws • the ability of a tributary to provide aquatic habitat that supports a TNW • the ability of wetlands to trap and filter pollutants or store flood waters • maintenance of water quality Swales or erosional features (e.g., gullies, small washes characterized by low volume, infrequent, or short duration flow) and ditches (including roadside ditches) excavated wholly in and draining only uplands and that do not carry a relatively permanent flow of water, are generally not considered jurisdictional waters. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Drainages and wetlands do not need to be labeled on USGS maps in order to be jurisdictional. According to the USGS Laguna Beach, California Quadrangle, on -site topography is approximately 10 feet above msl to 100 feet above msl. Buck Gully, flowing northeast to southwest, is tributary to the Pacific Ocean. Surrounding uses appear to consist of residential uses and the Pacific Ocean. No additional on -site lakes, marshes, or swamps were noted during the review of the USGS topographic map. TABLE 1.

Aerial photographs can be useful during the delineation process, as the photographs often indicate drainages and vegetation (i.e. riparian vegetation) present within the boundaries of the project site (if any). According to the aerial photograph, the project site is surrounded by residential uses. The on -site drainage appears to contain riparian vegetation. Buck Gully conveys water to the southwest, eventually discharging into the Pacific Ocean at Little Corona Beach. 4.3 SOIL SURVEY On -site soils were researched prior to the site visit. The presence of hydric soils is initially investigated by comparing the mapped soil series for the site to the County list of hydric soils. Soil surveys famish soil maps and interpretations originally needed in giving technical assistance to farmers and ranchers; in guiding other decisions about soil selection, use, and management; and in planning, research, and disseminating the results of the research.

Buck Gully Canyon Restoration Project Literature Review to potential wetland environments and jurisdictional areas (i.e., soil characteristics, drainage, and color). According to the Orange County and Western Part of Riverside County, California Soil Survey, dated 1978, the project site is situated on the Myford association. The Myford association consists of moderately well drained soils on marine terraces. One (1) soil series is reported within the boundaries of the project site, and consists of the following: Myford sandy loam, 9 to 30 percent slopes, eroded (177): This strongly sloping to moderately steep soil generally occurs on side slopes of terraces. The profile is similar to the one described as typical of the series, but is very shallow because of erosion. On as much as 50 percent of the acreage, the subsoil is exposed or deep gullies have formed that prevent tillage. The Myford series consists of moderately well drained soils formed in sandy sediments. In a typical profile the surface layer is pale brown (10YR 4/3 moist) and pinkish gray (7.5YR 4/2 moist), medium acid sandy loam, about 4 inches thick The upper 6 inches of the subsoil is brown (7.5YR 3/2 moist), medium acid sandy clay. The soil is very slowly permeable. If the soil is bare, runoff is rapid and the erosion hazard is high. Available water capacity is 1.5 to 3.5 inches. Present land use is range, watershed, wildlife and urban development. Subgroup: Typic Palexeralfs. Based on the Soil Survey, the soil series present on -site may have the potential to have hydric soil characteristics. 4.4 HYDRIC SOILS LIST OF CALIFORNIA RBF reviewed the Hydric Soils List of California, provided by the Natural Resources Conservation District (MRCS), dated December 15, 1995, in an effort to verify whether or not on -site soils are considered to be hydric. Lists of hydric soils along with soil survey maps are good off -site ancillary tools to assist in wetland determinations, but as expected, they are not a substitute for on -site investigations. According to the list, none of the above - mentioned soil types are anticipated to be hydric. 4.5 LOCAL CLIMATE The local climate is typical of the Southern California Coastal Region. Winters are cool and moist; nearly all of the precipitation falls in winter. Summers are mild, warm, and dry. Average mean annual rainfall at most of the lower elevations of the region is approximately 14 inches. For the purposes of this delineation, the growing season is considered to be 365 days a year. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Buck Gully Canyon Restoration Project 2 3 Literature Review 4.6 FLOOD ZONE According to the existing FEMA flood maps, a portion of the project site appears to be located within the 100 -year flood zone. The project site consists of Buck Gully and its associated floodplain. 4.7 GENERAL PLAN /ZONING CODE Some local agencies have ordinances with respect to wetlands and streams. According to the City of Newport Beach General Plan, adopted July 25, 2006, specific policies with respect to wetland/riparian buffers were not noted. 4.8 WATERSHED REVIEW The project site is located within the Newport Coast watershed. According to the City of Newport Beach Newport Coast Watershed Project website the Newport Coast Watershed covers about 10 square miles and extends South of Corona del Mar in Newport Beach to Morro Canyon. Most of this watershed area was annexed by the City of Newport Beach on January 1, 2002. The watershed encompasses eight coastal canyons, two of which are 303(d) listed for bacteria impacts. Seven of the canyons fall within the Regional Board Region 8 and City of Newport Beach limits. The eighth canyon, Morro Canyon, is part of Region 9 and is within the County of Orange's jurisdiction. This compact watershed area includes a very large percentage of native vegetation on undisturbed terrain. TABLE 2. Project Site Summary Project Site Yes No Unknown Within a 1 00-year floodplain?

Buck Gully Canyon Restoration Project 24 Section 5 Site Conditions As described in Section 1.0, the project site is located within the City of Newport Beach, County of Orange, California. Refer to Sections 5.2 through 5.4, below, for discussion with respect to the three (3) wetland parameters or evidence of water flow defined in Section 3.0. Refer to Exhibit 4, On -Site Photographs, for representative photographs taken throughout the project sites. 5.1 LIMITATIONS The following limitations were identified during the course of this delineation. Methodology was adjusted in areas where limitations were present. Some portions of the project were not accessible due to the presence of poison oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum) and dense vegetation. 5.2 VEGETATION Vegetation located within the project site and observed during the March 6, 2007 site visit, included riparian scrub, freshwater marsh, coastal sage srub, chaparral, and ornamental landscaping. Riparian vegetation noted on -site included arroyo willow (Salix lasiolepis), California mugwort (Artemisia douglasiana), cattail (Typha domingensis), bulrush (Scirpus microcarpus), and creeping woodsorrel (Oxalis corniculata). Upland vegetation noted on- site included poison oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum), lemonade berry (Rhus integrifolia), and California sagebrush (Artemisia californica). 5.3 HYDROLOGY Water flow varying in depth, associated with the surrounding residential uses, was noted within the project site during the March 6, 2007 site visit. The on -site drainage flows in a northeast /southwest direction, and is tributary to the Pacific Ocean. The drainage is considered an RPW and directly connects to the Pacific Ocean. Evidence of an OHWM was noted within the drainage via water flow, drift deposits, and erosional cuts. Generally, the OHWM varied in width from approximately 10 to 65 feet, primarily due to the range of slopes on -site. 5.4 SOILS Approximately six (6) soil pits were dug during the March 6, 2007 site visit due to the presence of riparian vegetation. All three (3) wetland parameters were met within portions of the project site. On -site soils consisted of silt loam, sandy loam, and sand.

Buck Gully Canyon Restoration Project 27 Section 6 Findings This delineation was prepared for the City in order to delineate the Corps, Regional Board, CDFG, and CCC jurisdictional authority for drainages located within the project site. This report presents RBF's best effort at determining the jurisdictional boundaries using the most up -to -date regulations, written policy, and guidance from the regulatory agencies. However, as with any jurisdictional delineation, only the regulatory agencies can make a final determination of jurisdictional boundaries within a project site /property. Jurisdictional boundaries are broken down specifically by agency and are described below. 6.1 U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS DETERMINATION 6.1.1 Wetland Determination As previously noted in Section 3.2, an area must exhibit all three (3) of the wetland parameters described in the Corps Interim Regional Supplement to be considered a jurisdictional wetland. Based on the results of the field investigations, it was determined that portions of the project site contained all three (3) parameters. Based on the literature review and soil samples obtained during the field visit, hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soils are present within portions of the project site. Based on the site conditions, approximately 0.37 acres of Corps jurisdictional wetlands are present (refer to Exhibit 5, Jurisdictional Map). Of these 0.37 acres, restoration activities are anticipated to temporarily impact 0.21 acres of Corps wetlands. 6.1.2 "Waters of the U.S." Determination Evidence of hydrology was noted within the project site and consisted of water flow, drift deposits, and erosional features. The on -site drainage appears to be perennial, containing water year- round. Based on the site conditions, approximately 0.49 acres of Corps "waters of the U.S." are located within the boundaries of the study area. Of these 0.49 acres, 0.34 acres will be impacted as a result of the proposed restoration activities. 6.2 REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD DETERMINATION No isolated conditions were observed within the boundaries of the project site; therefore, the Regional Board follows that of Corps jurisdiction. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The CDFG jurisdiction is similar to the Corps jurisdiction, but also encompasses riparian vegetation (to the outer dripline) when present. Based on the site conditions, approximately 4.42 acres of CDFG jurisdiction are located within the boundaries of the study area. Of these 4.42 acres, 1.86 acres will be impacted as a result of the proposed restoration activities.

Buck Gully Canyon Restoration Project 3 0 Section 7 Regulatory Approval Process The following is a summary of the various permits, agreements, and certifications required before construction activities take place within the jurisdictional areas. 7.1 U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS The Corps regulates discharges of dredged or fill materials into WoUS and wetlands pursuant to Section 404 of the CWA. A permit will be required from the Corps Regulatory Branch - Los Angeles District Office prior to commencement of any construction activities within the Corps delineated jurisdictional areas. 7.1.1 Section 404 Permit Identification Nationwide Permit Process: Since project improvements permanently impact less than a 1/2 -acre of Corps jurisdiction, authorization via Nationwide Permit (NWP) 27, Aquatic Habitat Restoration, Establishment and Enhancement Activities, would be required prior to Corps jurisdictional impact (refer to Appendix B, for a summary of NWP 27). NWP processing time generally takes 4 -6 months and involves a Pre- Application Field Meeting and submittal of a formal application. The application submittal typically includes environmental documentation (e.g., jurisdictional delineation, site plans, project purpose, location, duration, etc.), a Pre - Construction Notification (PCN); and consultations with other agencies (as needed). Prior to issuance of the Corps permit, a CWA Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the Regional Board must be obtained. At this time, no application fee is required for the Corps permit process. 7.1.2 Coastal Zone Management Consistency Since the project site is located within the Coastal Zone, the Corps shall obtain from the applicant a certification that the proposed activity complies with and will be conducted in a manner that is consistent with the approved state Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP). Upon receipt of the certification, the Corps will forward a copy of the public notice (which will include the applicant's certification statement) to the CCC and request its concurrence or objection. If the CCC objects to the certification or issues a decision indicating that the proposed activity requires further review, the Corps shall not issue the permit until the CCC concurs with the certification statement. If the CCC fails to concur or object to a certification statement within six (6) months of the CCC's receipt of the certification statement, CCC concurrence with the certification statement shall be conclusively presumed. District engineers will seek agreements with the CCC that the agency's failure to provide comments . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Obtaining the Section 401 Water Quality Certification can result in substantial delays in issuing an Corps permit. To avoid unreasonable delays in Corps permit processing, the following actions are recommended. In cases where the Corps has finished its evaluation of a permit proposal and the only action remaining is the issuance of the Section 401 Certification, the Corps should send a provisional permit to the applicant. Sending a provisional permit completes the Corps action on the proposal and notifies the applicant of the need to obtain a Section 401 Certification from the appropriate State certifying agency before the Section 404 permit is valid. The provisional permit also places the only remaining action with the certifying agencies, properly focusing the applicant on the State. 7.2 REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD The Regional Board regulates discharges to surface waters under the Federal CWA and the California Porter- Cologne Water Quality Control Act. The Regional Board's jurisdiction extends to all waters of the State (including SWANCC and Rapanos conditions) and to all WoUS (including wetlands). The following permits will be required prior to construction. 7.2.1 Section 401 Water Quality Certification For a Corps 404 permit to be approved, a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Santa Ana Regional Board will be required. The Regional Board also requires that CEQA compliance be obtained prior to obtaining the 401 Certification. Once an application has been deemed complete, the Regional Board has between 60 days and 1 year in which to make a decision. According to regulations of the Corps, the State has 60 days from the date of receipt of a valid request for water quality standards certification (33 CFR Section 325.2 (b) (1) (ii)). The Corps district engineer may specify a longer (up to one year) or shorter time, if he or she determines that a longer or shorter time is reasonable (33 CFR Section 325.2 (b) (1) (ii)). If processing and review of the 401 application will take more than 60 days, the Regional Board will request additional time from the Corps. Please note that even when an application has been deemed complete, the Regional Board has the option of denial without prejudice. This is not a reflection on the project, but a means to stop the clock until the required information has been received. As required by 23 California Code of Regulations (CCR) § 3858 (a), the Regional Board is required to have a minimum 21 -day public comment period before any action is taken on a 401 application. The period closes when the Regional Board acts on the 401 application. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The public comment period does not close after a certain number of days because proposed projects tend to change through the 401 process and the public is allowed to review and comment on the changed project. The public comment period starts as soon as an application has been received. Additionally, the Regional Board requires that water quality concerns related to urban storm water runoff be addressed. Any 401 Certification application submitted to the Regional Board should incorporate the use of Best Management Practices (BMPs) for the treatment of pollutants carried by storm water runoff in order to be considered a complete application. The Regional Board also requires a 401 Certification Application Fee, which is dependent on the amount and type of impacts. tea_ 111* 01N ki1/_11 17 9 �V, I =1 Z k 9101 AJ 61: F-A k,Iexe7_1VlI= The on -site drainage (streambed) and associated riparian vegetation would be considered jurisdictional by the CDFG; therefore, a 1602 SAA must be obtained prior to any jurisdictional impact. A SAA is technically not a permit. It is a legally binding contract in which two parties, the project proponent (applicant) and the CDFG, mutually agree to a particular course of action. The CDFG does not have the discretionary authority to decide not to negotiate a SAA or submit to binding arbitration. However, the CDFG has the duty to propose avoidance or mitigation measures which limit the project as necessary to prevent adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources. Upon a formal notification, the CDFG will determine whether the notification package (application) is complete. The CDFG will make this determination within 30 calendar days of receiving the notification package if the application is for a regular agreement (i.e., an agreement for a term of five years or less). However, the 30 -day time period does not apply to notifications for long -term agreements (i.e., agreements for a term greater than five years). Once the notification package is deemed complete, the CDFG will process a Draft SAA as described below. If a SAA is required, the CDFG may require an onsite inspection, and a draft agreement. The draft agreement will include measures to protect fish and wildlife resources while conducting the project. For regular agreements, the CDFG will submit a draft agreement to the applicant within sixty calendar days after the notification is deemed complete. Again, the 60 -day time period does not apply to notifications for long -term agreements, since these are often large or complex projects. The applicant then has 30 calendar days to notify the CDFG whether the measures in the draft agreement are acceptable. After the CDFG receives the signed draft agreement, it will make it final by signing it.

Therefore, the CCC requires permittees for NWPs to either receive a concurrence or waiver of consistency certification from the CCC before the NWP is validated. Pursuant to the CCMP, a CDP issued by the CCC functions as a consistency certification. According to the latest design plans and environmental analysis, a CDP is required from the CCC prior to approval of the project. The purpose of the CDP is to ensure consistency with the Local Coastal Program. Issuance of a CDP requires compliance with Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, Coastal Resources Planning and Management Policies, which outlines the policies /standards by which the permissibility of proposed development are determined. 7.5 GLOBAL RECOMMENDATIONS 7.5.1 Agency Concurrence and Pre - Application Field Meeting It is highly recommended that the delineation be forwarded to each of the regulatory agencies for their concurrence. Once the delineation is approved, RBF has found it extremely beneficial and pro - active to have an on -site meeting with the Corps, Regional Board, CDFG, and CCC to discuss potential permitting strategies and mitigation opportunities (if any). In short, these Pre - Application Field Meetings often help streamline the permitting process. 7.5.2 Concurrent Permit Processing Prior to issuance of the Corps permit, a Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the Santa Ana Regional Board and a CDP from the CCC must be obtained. Obtaining the Certification and CDP can result in substantial delays in issuing an Corps permit. To avoid unreasonable delays in Corps permit processing, the following actions are recommended. In cases where the Corps has finished its evaluation of a permit proposal and the only action remaining is the issuance of the Section 401 Certification and CDP, the Corps should send a provisional permit to the applicant. Sending a provisional permit completes the Corps action on the proposal and notifies the applicant of the need to obtain a Section 401 Certification and a CDP from the appropriate State certifying agency before the Section 404 permit is valid. The provisional permit also places the only remaining action with the certifying agencies, properly focusing the applicant on the State. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

To the extent that a Corps permit is required, activities authorized by this NWP include, but are not limited to: the removal of accumulated sediments; the installation, removal, and maintenance of small water control structures, dikes, and berms; the installation of current deflectors; the enhancement, restoration, or establishment of riffle and pool stream structure; the placement of in- stream habitat structures; modifications of the stream bed and /or banks to restore or establish stream meanders; the backfilling of artificial channels and drainage ditches; the removal of existing drainage structures; the construction of small nesting islands; the construction of open water areas; the construction of oyster habitat over unvegetated bottom in tidal waters; shellfish seeding; activities needed to reestablish vegetation, including plowing or discing for seed bed preparation and the planting of appropriate wetland species; mechanized land clearing to remove non - native invasive, exotic, or nuisance vegetation; and other related activities. Only native plant species should be planted at the site. This NWP authorizes the relocation of non -tidal waters, including non -tidal wetlands and streams; on the project site provided there are net increases in aquatic resource functions and services. Except for the relocation of non -tidal waters on the project site, this NWP does not authorize the conversion of a stream or natural wetlands to another aquatic habitat type (e.g., stream to wetland or vice versa) or uplands. This NWP does not authorize stream channelization. This NWP does not authorize the relocation of tidal waters or the conversion of tidal waters, including tidal wetlands, to other aquatic uses, such as the conversion of tidal wetlands into open water impoundments. Reversion. For enhancement, restoration, and establishment activities conducted: (1) In accordance with the terms and conditions of a binding wetland enhancement, restoration, or establishment agreement between the landowner and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Farm Service Agency (FSA), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the National Ocean Service (NOS), or their designated state cooperating agencies; (2) as voluntary wetland restoration, enhancement, and establishment actions documented by the NRCS or USDA Technical Service Provider pursuant to NRCS Field Office Technical Guide standards; or (3) on reclaimed surface coal mine lands, in accordance with a Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act permit issued by the OSM or the applicable state agency, this NWP also authorizes any future discharge of dredged or fill material associated with the reversion of the area to its documented prior condition and use (i.e., prior to the restoration, enhancement, or establishment activities). The reversion must occur within five years after expiration of a limited term wetland restoration or establishment agreement or permit, and is authorized in these circumstances even if the discharge occurs after this NWP expires. The five year reversion limit does not apply to agreements without time limits reached between the landowner and the FWS, NRCS, FSA, NMFS, NOS, or an appropriate state cooperating agency. This NWP also authorizes discharges of dredged or fill material in waters of the United States for the reversion of wetlands that were restored, enhanced, or established on prior- converted cropland that has not been abandoned or on uplands, in accordance with a binding agreement between the landowner and NRCS, FSA, FWS, or their designated state cooperating agencies (even though the restoration, enhancement, or establishment activity did not require a section 404 permit). The prior condition will be documented in the original agreement or permit, and the determination of return to prior conditions will be made by the Federal agency or appropriate state agency executing the agreement or permit. Before conducting any reversion activity the permittee or the appropriate Federal or state agency must notify the district engineer and include the documentation of the prior condition. Once an area has reverted to its prior physical condition, it will be subject to whatever the Corps Regulatory requirements are applicable to that type of land at the time. The requirement that the activity result in a net increase in aquatic resource functions and services does not apply to reversion activities meeting the above conditions. Except for the activities described above, this NWP does not authorize any future discharge of dredged or fill material associated with the reversion of the area to its prior condition. In such cases a separate permit would be required for any reversion. Reporting: For those activities that do not require pre- construction notification, the permittee must submit to the district engineer a copy of: (1) The binding wetland enhancement, restoration, or establishment agreement, or a project description, including project plans and location map; (2) the NRCS or USDA Technical Service Provider documentation for the voluntary wetland restoration; enhancement, or establishment action; or (3) the SMCRA permit issued by OSM or the applicable state agency. These documents must be submitted to the district engineer at least 30 days prior to commencing activities in waters of the United States authorized by this NWP. Notification. The permittee must submit a pre- construction notification to the district engineer prior to commencing the activity (see general condition 27), except for the following activities: (1) Activities conducted on non - Federal public lands and private lands, in accordance with the terms and conditions of a binding wetland enhancement, restoration, or establishment agreement between the landowner and the U.S. FWS, NRCS, FSA, NMFS, NOS, or their designated state cooperating agencies; (2) Voluntary wetland restoration, enhancement, and establishment actions documented by the NRCS or USDA Technical Service Provider pursuant to NRCS Field Office Technical Guide standards; or (3) The reclamation of surface coal mine lands, in accordance with an SMCRA permit issued by the OSM or the applicable state agency. However, the permittee must submit a copy of the appropriate documentation. (Sections 10 and 404) Note: This NWP can be used to authorize compensatory mitigation projects, including mitigation banks and in -lieu fee programs. However, this NWP does not authorize the reversion of an area Used for a ivii�pcnSatviy' mitigation tioni prvjcct to it$ prier condition s; 0111Cu CVll penisatony mitigation is generally intended to be permanent.

The list represents deed restrictions that are active. Some sites have multiple deed restrictions. The DTSC Hazardous Waste Management Program (HWMP) has developed a list of current or former hazardous waste facilities that have a recorded land use restriction at the local county recorders office. The land use restrictions on this list were required by the DTSC HWMP as a result of the presence of hazardous substances that remain on site after the facility (or part of the facility) has been closed or cleaned up. The types of land use restriction include deed notice, deed restriction, or a land use restriction that binds current and future owners.

Manufactured gas sites were used in the United States from the 1800's to 1950's to produce a gas that could be distributed and used as fuel. These plants used whale oil, rosin, coal, or a mixture of coal, oil, and water that also produced a significant amount of waste. Many of the byproducts of the gas production, such as coal tar (oily waste containing volatile and non - volatile chemicals), sludges, oils and other compounds are potentially hazardous to human health and the environment. The byproduct from this process was frequently disposed of directly at the plant site and can remain or spread slowly, serving as a continuous source of soil and groundwater contamination.

Assessment of the impact of contaminant migration generally has two principle investigative components: 1. Groundwater flow direction, and 2. Groundwater flow velocity. Groundwater flow direction may be impacted by surface topography, hydrology, hydrogeology, characteristics of the soil, and nearby wells. Groundwater flow velocity is generally impacted by the nature of the geologic strata. TC2282004.1s Page A -1 GEOCHECK ' - PHYSICAL SETTING SOURCE SUMMARY GROUNDWATER FLOW DIRECTION INFORMATION Groundwater flow direction for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional using site - specific well data. If such data is not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary to rely on other sources of information, such as surface topographic information, hydrologic information, hydrogeologic data collected on nearby properties, and regional groundwater flow information (from deep aquifers). TOPOGRAPHIC INFORMATION Surface topography may be indicative of the direction of surficial groundwater flow. This information can be used to assist the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of nearby contaminated properties or, should contamination exist on the target property, what downgradient sites might be impacted.
