Initial Study / Environmental Assessment Annotated This page has been intentionally left blank. This page has been intentionally left blank. SCH: PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION Pursuant to: Division 13, Public Resources Code Project Description The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), in cooperation with the Gateway Cities Council of Governments and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 7, proposes to develop and implement an auxiliary lane on Eastbound State Route 91 within a 1.4-mile segment from the southbound Interstate 710 (I-710) interchange connector to eastbound State Route 91, to Cherry Avenue. The Study Area includes Eastbound State Route 91 (Post Miles [PM] R11.8/R13.2) and is located in the City of Long Beach and adjacent to the City of Paramount, California. Determination This proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration is included to give notice to interested agencies and the public that it is Caltrans’ intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for this project. This does not mean that Caltrans’ decision regarding the Project is final. This Mitigated Negative Declaration is subject to change based on comments received by interested agencies and the public. All Project features (including standard practices and specifications) are considered in significance determinations. Caltrans has prepared an Initial Study for this project and, pending public review, expects to determine from this study that the proposed Project would not have a significant effect on the environment for the following reasons: The Project would have no effect on aesthetics, agriculture and forest resources, cultural resources, energy, land use and planning, mineral resources, population and housing, recreation, tribal cultural resources, and wildfire. In addition, the proposed Project would have less than significant effects to air quality, biological resources, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, public services, transportation, and utilities and service systems. With incorporation of the mitigation measures identified in Appendix A, the proposed Project would have less than significant effects to noise, and geology and soils. ____________________ ______________________ Ron Kosinski Date Deputy District Director District 7, Division of Environmental Planning California Department of Transportation This page has been intentionally left blank.

    Australian Plants Society NORTH SHORE GROUP Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden Bush foods and fibres • Plant-based bush foods, medicines and poisons can come from nectar, flowers, fruit, leaves, bark, stems, sap and roots. • Plants provide fibres and materials for making many items including clothes, cords, musical instruments, shelters, tools, toys and weapons. • A fruit is the seed-bearing structure of a plant. • Do not eat fruits that you do not know to be safe to eat. Allergic reactions or other adverse reactions could occur. • We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this land and pay our respects to the Elders both past, present and future for they hold the memories, traditions, culture and hope of their people.

LXXIX SIXTY YEARS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 1853-1913 CONTAINING THE REMINISCENCES OF HARRIS NEWMARK EDITED BY MAURICE H. NEWMARK MARCO R. NEWMARK Every generation enjoys the use of a vast hoard bequeathed to it by antiquity, and transmits that hoard, augmented by fresh acquisitions, to future ages. In these pursuits, therefore, the first speculators lie under great disadvantages, and, even when they fail, are entitled to praise.— MACAULAY.

NEWMARK v TO THE MEMORY OF MY WIFE v In Memoriam At the hour of high twelve on April the fourth, 1916, the sun shone into a room where lay the temporal abode, for eighty-one years and more, of the spirit of Harris Newmark. On his face still lingered that look of peace which betokens a life worthily used and gently relinquished. Many were the duties allotted him in his pilgrimage splendidly did he accomplish them! Providence permitted him the completion of his final task—a labor of love—but denied him the privilege of seeing it given to the community of his adoption. To him and to her, by whose side he sleeps, may it be both monument and epitaph. Thy will be done! M.
