New Cement Hill Pipeline Project Draft Initial Study/Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration New Cement Hill Pipeline Project Prepared for: Suisun-Solano Water Authority October 2018 PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION PROJECT: NEW CEMENT HILL PIPELINE PROJECT LEAD AGENCY: SUISUN-SOLANO WATER AUTHORITY (SSWA) Under CEQA, the lead agency is the public agency with primary responsibility over approval of the project. SSWA is the CEQA lead agency because it is responsible for implementation and operation of the New Cement Hill Pipeline. PROJECT DESCRIPTION SUMMARY SSWA proposes to construct and operate the New Cement Hill Pipeline (proposed project) which would provide a second pipeline from the Cement Hill Water Treatment Plant (CHWTP) to two 2-million-gallon water storage tanks on Cement Hill. The primary intent of the project is to enhance the operation of the CHWTP by turning the tanks into flow-through clearwell storage for filtered water to improve the CHWTP reliability and regulatory compliance. The pipeline would be constructed of 20-inch diameter PVC pipe, and most of the pipeline would be underground, with a short aerial crossing of the Putah South Canal. Construction would predominantly be open-cut construction in an approximately 4-foot-wide by 5.5-foot-deep trench. After pipeline placement, the ground surface would be restored. Disturbed areas in roadways would be repaved. Construction of the pipeline is anticipated to begin in spring of 2019 and would take 85 to 105 calendar days. Construction would occur 5 days per week for a total of up to 9 hours per day. Construction activities on public roads would occur between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Work in streets would take about 10 working days. Most of the proposed project would be located in the City of Fairfield, California. The northern extent of the project, including where it connects to Tanks 2A and 2B, would be located in unincorporated Solano County. From Tanks 2A and 2B, the pipeline would generally follow the existing access road down to Clay Bank Road. The pipeline would then be located within Clay Bank Road and Moosup Court. It would cross over the Putah South Canal, and then onto the CHWTP property located north of Manuel Campos Parkway in north Fairfield. FINDINGS An Initial Study has been prepared to assess the project’s potential effects on the environment and the significance of those effects. Based on the Initial Study, it has been determined that the project would not have any significant effects on the environment once mitigation measures are implemented. The conclusion is supported by the following findings: 1. The project would have no impact related to agriculture and forestry resources, land use and planning, mineral resources, population and housing, public services, and recreation. 2. The project would have a less-than-significant impact on aesthetics, air quality, geology and soils, hydrology and water quality, and utilities and service systems.

Mitigation is required to reduce potentially significant impacts related to biological resources, cultural resources, hazards and hazardous materials, noise, transportation and traffic, and tribal cultural resources to less-than-significant levels. Biological Resources Mitigation Measure 3.4-1: Avoid Elderberry Shrubs To maintain the health and vigor of elderberry shrubs, the shrubs will be avoided. Project activities may occur up to the dripline of elderberry shrubs if the following precautions are implemented to minimize the potential for indirect impacts: All areas to be avoided during construction activities will be fenced or flagged as close to construction limits as possible. A minimum avoidance area up to the dripline of each elderberry plant will be maintained to avoid direct impacts that could damage or kill the plant. Mitigation Measure 3.4-2: Nesting Raptor and Special-Status Bird Avoidance and Buffers Pre-construction surveys and active nest buffer zones. If construction activity is scheduled to occur during the Swainson’s hawk and other raptor nesting season (March 1 to August 31), the project proponent shall retain a qualified biologist to conduct preconstruction surveys and to identify active nests on and all publicly accessible areas within 0.25 mile of the project site that could be affected by on-site project construction. The surveys shall be conducted no less than 14 days and no more than 30 days before the beginning of construction for all project phases. Applicable guidelines provided in Recommended Timing and Methodology for Swainson’s Hawk Nesting Surveys in the Central Valley (Swainson’s Hawk Technical Advisory Committee 2000) shall be followed for surveys for Swainson’s hawk. If no nests are found, no further mitigation is required. If active nests are found, impacts on nesting Swainson’s hawks and other raptors shall be avoided by establishment of appropriate buffers around the nests. No project activity shall commence within the buffer area until a qualified biologist confirms that all young have fledged and the nest is no longer active. A buffer of 0.25 mile shall be implemented for Swainson’s hawk and white-tailed kite, and a buffer of 500 feet shall be implemented for other raptor species, (e.g., great horned owl, red-tailed hawk, red-shouldered hawk). Monitoring of the nest by a qualified biologist during and after construction activities will be required if the activity has potential to adversely affect the nest. The size of the buffer may be adjusted if a qualified biologist, in consultation with CDFW, determines that such an adjustment would not be likely to adversely affect the nest. The size of nest site buffer zones may be reduced only under the following conditions: A site-specific analysis prepared by a qualified biologist indicates that the nesting pair under consideration are not likely to be adversely affected by construction activities (e.g., the nest is located in an area where the hawks are habituated to human activity and noise levels comparable to anticipated construction work). The qualified biologist must submit this analysis to CDFW for review and approval before construction may begin within 0.25 mile of a nest. Monitoring by a qualified biologist is conducted for a sufficient time (during all construction activities for a minimum of 10 consecutive days following the initiation of construction), and the nesting pair does not exhibit adverse reactions to construction activities (e.g., changes in behavioral patterns, reactions to construction noise). Monitoring is continued at least once a week through the nesting cycle at that nest. This longer-term monitoring may be reduced to a minimum of 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon during Suisun-Solano Water Authority 2 New Cement Hill Pipeline Project IS/MND Ascent Environmental Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration construction activities; however, additional and more frequent monitoring may be required if any adverse reactions are noted. If adverse effects are identified, construction activities shall cease immediately, and construction shall not be resumed until the qualified biologist, in consultation with CDFW, has determined that construction may continue under modified restrictions or that nesting activity is complete. Post-Construction-Start Occupied Nest Avoidance. If a nest tree becomes occupied by Swainson’s hawk, white-tailed kite, or other raptor species during ongoing construction activities, construction activities shall not occur within 500 feet of the nest, except where monitoring consistent with the criteria described above that adverse effects will not occur. Mitigation Measure 3.4-3: General Nesting Bird Avoidance and Buffers If ground- or vegetation-disturbing activities are scheduled to occur during the nesting bird season (between February 1 and September 1), a qualified biologist shall conduct visual pre-investigation surveys for nesting birds protected by the California Fish and Game Code in suitable habitat within 75 feet for non-raptor species. Surveys shall occur no less than 14 days and no more than 30 days before the beginning of construction for all project phases. The survey can occur at the same time as the survey described in Mitigation Measure 3.4-2. In the event an active bird nest (nests with eggs or young) is located during the pre-construction survey, a qualified biologist, in consultation with CDFW, shall establish a nest avoidance buffer zone (typically 75 feet). The qualified biologist can reduce the buffer zone based on a site- and nest-specific analysis. A qualified biologist shall monitor active nests to determine fledging status during construction activities. A qualified biologist shall also maintain the nest avoidance buffer zone during construction activities they determine nestlings have fledged and are no longer reliant on parental care for survival or the nest is abandoned. Mitigation Measure 3.4-4: Prevent Noxious Weed Spread Where it is not possible to keep equipment out of sites infested with noxious weeds, the equipment shall be cleaned so that it is free of soil, seeds, vegetative matter or other debris before being moved from infested sites to un-infested sites and before being transported out of the project area. Significance after Mitigation Mitigation Measure 3.4-1 would require protection of elderberry bushes so that they are not indirectly affected by project construction activities. Mitigation Measure 3.4-2 would require preconstruction nesting bird surveys and implementation of a buffer around active nests to avoid impacts to special-status bird nesting. Similarly, Mitigation Measure 3.4-3 would protect common nesting species. Operation would not result in additional impacts because maintenance activities would be similar to existing maintenance activities and would not require additional ground disturbance. Mitigation Measure 3.4-4 would prevent the spread of invasive species between separate parts of the project area. Impacts would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated.

    Historic Context Statement City of Benicia February 2011 Benicia, CA Prepared for City of Benicia Department of Public Works & Community Development Prepared by page & turnbull, inc. 1000 Sansome Street, Ste. 200, San Francisco CA 94111 415.362.5154 / www.page-turnbull.com Benicia Historic Context Statement FOREWORD “Benicia is a very pretty place; the situation is well chosen, the land gradually sloping back from the water, with ample space for the spread of the town. The anchorage is excellent, vessels of the largest size being able to tie so near shore as to land goods without lightering. The back country, including the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, is one of the finest agriculture districts in California. Notwithstanding these advantages, Benicia must always remain inferior in commercial advantages, both to San Francisco and Sacramento City.”1 So wrote Bayard Taylor in 1850, less than three years after Benicia’s founding, and another three years before the city would—at least briefly—serve as the capital of California. In the century that followed, Taylor’s assessment was echoed by many authors—that although Benicia had all the ingredients for a great metropolis, it was destined to remain in the shadow of others. Yet these assessments only tell a half truth. While Benicia never became the great commercial center envisioned by its founders, its role in Northern California history is nevertheless one that far outstrips the scale of its geography or the number of its citizens. Benicia gave rise to the first large industrial works in California, hosted the largest train ferries ever constructed, and housed the West Coast’s primary ordnance facility for over 100 years.

    Historical People, Characters During the 1830-40’s there were various people who were in Sonoma and at Rancho de Petaluma. There is not a lot of written documentation that we have found about the women or wives of the men. We have tried our best to include good resources in the bibliography, but often the descriptions and details we desire for the role playing exercises are missing. We understand that there might be a lot of “creative” attributes given to the characters, however, we ask that the children stay within the realm of the possible. We are constantly searching for sources and ask for your help. Two resources are especially good on descriptions of the people and the period. Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana A “journal” of a man’s experience at sea during the hide and tallow trade. His descriptions of the trade and process are excellent. As well, his description of the clothing and hairstyles of those in Monterey is very detailed. 75 Years in California by William Heath Davis A historian who actually visited the sites he wrote about. His book is still considered one of the best historical accounts of the time period for which he wrote. He did visit Rancho de Petaluma and wrote about it within the book. Mariano and Francisca Vallejo had 16 children together. Of these 16, 10 lived to adulthood. We don’t include the 6 who died in the historical figures list, but they are included on the Vallejo Family page. As well, some of the information about the family occurred after the dates of 1836-1846, which is the time period for Rancho de Petaluma.

  • Old Stone Building Sparks New Historical Research and Discoveries Jerry Bowen
    Old Stone Building Sparks New Historical Research and Discoveries Jerry Bowen Our voyage of discovery began when Cordelia historian and artist, Daphne Nixon, called me and asked if I knew anything about a small rubble stone and adobe building on Suisun Valley Road near the college. Since then we have found that Solano County is lucky enough to have roughly a mile of historic sites that date back to the earliest recorded history of the county that still survive in one form or another. That historic mile extends from Rockville to Interstate 80 where thousands commuters pass daily, unaware of the historic significance ofthe sites along Suisun Valley Road. The sites include Rockville itself, the Pony Express Trail, an old wagon and stage road, the site of Chief Solano's rancheria (village) a mission site, an old structure built of stone, Chief Solano's original gravesite and the original location of Cordelia before it was moved to its present site. It was along this route that the first Pony Express rider, William Hamilton, rode from Rockville to Benicia on April 23, 1860. One of the sites, the Santa Eulalia Mission was known about but the location or its status was not. For over a hundred seventy years it was assumed there was nothing left of the mission buildings. A call from Cordelia artist and historian, Daphne Nixon set Carol Noske, and Jerry Bowen on a fantastic trip through time researching old records, history books and maps trying to learn more about the small rubble stone structure near Suisun Valley Road on the old Mangels Winery property.

  • Cultural Resources Assessment of the Cannery Project, a Proposed Subdivision in Davis
    CULTURAL RESOURCES ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPOSED CANNERY PROJECT, DAVIS, YOLO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Prepared by Peak & Associates, Inc. 3941 Park Drive, Suite 20, #329 El Dorado Hills, CA 95762 Prepared for De Novo Planning Group 4630 Brand Way Sacramento, CA 95819 September 5, 2012 (Job # 12-051) INTRODUCTION ConAgra Foods Inc. proposes The Cannery project on its 98.4-acre property north of East Covell Boulevard in the City of Davis. The Cannery project (“project”) is an innovative, mixed-use, multi-generational neighborhood and place with housing opportunities for young families, young professionals and seniors. The project is designed to be consistent with the character and values of Davis and provide amenities and features which benefit the City and existing residents of adjacent neighborhoods. The Cannery includes amenities that are beneficial to the adjacent neighborhoods such as accessible open space features, bike and pedestrian connections, organic urban farm, civic space, parks, office and commercial uses. ConAgra’s vision for the site is to sustain its historical connection with Davis by establishing an organic urban farm on the east side of the project and support a new generation of young, entrepreneurial farmers while increasing opportunities for youth to understand the source of their food. Cannery Farm forms a prominent physical eastern edge and establishes a local food supply, promotes healthier living, reduces waste and contributes to a vibrant community. It will connect and relate to uses envisioned in the commercial mixed- use area (i.e. food plaza, restaurants, pubs, cafes) and will influence the modern agrarian architectural design planned for the overall project.
