In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, changes to the approved project addressed in this addendum would not result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects, as discussed herein. The Final EIR for the Silver Lake Reservoir Complex Storage Replacement Project was certified by the City of Los Angeles Board of Water and Power Commissioners on May 16, 2006, concurrent with approval of the project (Certified EIR). A Notice of Determination for the project approval was filed with the State Clearinghouse and the Los Angeles County Clerk’s office on May 18, 2006. The approved project in the Certified EIR will remove Silver Lake and Ivanhoe Reservoirs from the LADWP potable water distribution system and relocate the water storage function provided by the Silver Lake Reservoir Complex (SLRC) to the former Headworks Spreading Grounds site, where a new 110-million gallon (MG) buried storage reservoir is currently under construction. The Certified EIR found the proposed project to have significant but mitigable environmental impacts to Earth Resources (Chapter 4), Water Resources (Chapter 5), Biological Resources (Chapter 6), Cultural Resources (Chapter 7), and Paleontologic Resources (Chapter 8). Impacts to Traffic and Transportation (Chapter 9), Noise (Chapter 10), and Air Quality (Chapter 11) would be significant and unavoidable even after incorporation of feasible mitigation measures. A Statement of Overriding Considerations was adopted for these unavoidable impacts. Less than significant impacts to Land Use (Chapter 3), Public Services and Utilities (Chapter 12), Hazardous Materials (Chapter 13), and Visual Resources (Chapter 14) were identified in the Certified EIR. Since the initial project approval, the engineering design for the project has proceeded, establishing a more refined concept for the physical and procedural aspects of project construction than was available at the time of the preparation and consideration of the Certified EIR. Further, it has been determined that a different alignment for an interconnecting pipeline between the River Supply Conduit and the Silver Lake Outlet Line, a component of the project as described and analyzed in the Certified EIR, can be feasibly implemented that would reduce the duration of construction within public roadways and the associated community disruption. Instead of constructing a tunnel beneath West Silver Lake Drive adjacent to the SLRC, the interconnecting pipeline would be located primarily within the SLRC, including within Silver Lake Reservoir, as explained in detail below. In deciding whether a subsequent or supplemental EIR is necessary or if an addendum is appropriate, the standard of review is whether the record as a whole contains substantial evidence to support a determination that the changes in the project or its circumstances are substantial enough to make major modifications to the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. December 2013 Page 1 Introduction The SLRC in-reservoir pipeline alignment has not altered the fundamental objectives of the project as reflected in the Certified EIR. The project would still relocate the SLRC water storage to the Headworks Spreading Grounds site. Long-term project operations are not anticipated to change from what was considered in the Certified EIR. However, based on additional site investigations and more extensive design development, it has been determined that implementation of the interconnecting pipeline would result in changes to the construction phase of activities within and adjacent to the SLRC. In accordance with CEQA, the nature and extent of these changes must be considered in the context of the Certified EIR conclusions regarding project-related environmental impacts to determine if they might create new significant impacts that were not identified in the Certified EIR or substantial increases in the severity of significant impacts that were identified in the Certified EIR. LADWP has developed the in-reservoir alignment for the interconnecting pipeline to minimize community disruption and the associated impacts by reducing the extent and duration of construction within public roadways. As discussed herein, the proposed modifications to the project design would not result in new environmental impacts or increase the severity of previously identified environmental impacts. The following sections provide additional detail regarding the proposed modifications and findings. 1.2 Project Overview As a component of the Silver Lake Reservoir Complex Storage Replacement Project, the reservoir complex will be removed from service as a treated drinking water storage facility, but both Silver Lake and Ivanhoe Reservoirs will continue to be filled with non-potable water. The drinking water storage function of the reservoir complex will be replaced by a new reservoir at the Headworks Spreading Grounds site in Griffith Park. However, because it will not contain potable water, the SLRC will no longer provide a physical link, as it currently does, between the River Supply Conduit (a trunk line that currently supplies drinking water to the SLRC at the north end of Ivanhoe Reservoir) and the Silver Lake Outlet Line (a trunk

  • HEADWORKS RESERVOIR SILVER LAKE RESERVOIR COMPLEX STORAGE REPLACEMENT Fact Sheet
    HEADWORKS RESERVOIR SILVER LAKE RESERVOIR COMPLEX STORAGE REPLACEMENT Fact Sheet VICINITY MAP OF HEADWORKS SITE BACKGROUND Open reservoirs in Los Angeles, including Silver Lake and Ivanhoe, store drinking water from the Los Angeles Aqueduct, the Metropolitan Water District, and groundwater sources. The treated water that enters the open reservoirs is exposed to contamination from surface runoff, birds, insects, animals, and humans. Also, sunlight and elevated temperatures, especially during the summer months, contribute to the growth of algae that degrades water quality and increases taste and odor problems. These problems can be eliminated by covering or bypassing the reservoirs. Silver Lake and Ivanhoe reservoirs will be bypassed and Headworks reservoir will be built to replace the lost storage. LOCATION MAP OF HEADWORKS SITE Once the Silver Lake and Ivanhoe reservoirs are bypassed, they PROJECT SITE will no longer be used as a source of potable water. Rather, they will be maintained as non-potable water bodies for the continued benefit of the community.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES Government and Water
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES Government and Water: A Study of the Influence of Water upon Governmental Institutions and Practices in the Development of Los Angeles A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Vincent A. Ostrom June, 1950 ii In Memory of CLARENCE A. DYKSTRA who gave so freely of time and effort during the last months of his life to guide this study to its completion. iii Control of water to secure maximum supply at costs determined by the economic situation is the engineering problem, and that problem is solvable. Ahead of the engineering accomplishment is the engineering of men. The decision of the community at large must be made. For accomplishment, its public body, its semipublic water organizations, and its individuals must unite in team work to pool, rearrange and compromise existing interests, to legislate and to create a competent organization to carry out the engineering solution. California, Department of Public Works, Division of Engineering and Irrigation, Santa Ana Investigation, p. 32. iv PREFACE The motivation for this study is rooted in personal experience. During my first stay of several years in the Los Angeles area, I had been relatively oblivious to the existence of a water problem. An unlimited quantity of water was always available at the water tap and seemingly no critical problem of water shortage existed for any of the water consumers of the area. After leaving the Los Angeles area, I became a resident of a small city in Wyoming where the problem of an adequate water supply was a daily concern to the community.

  • IV.H. Hydrology and Water Quality (Academy Square)
    IV. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS H. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY 1. INTRODUCTION This section evaluates the Project’s potential hydrology and water quality impacts based upon whether the Project would violate water quality standards or waste discharge requirements, deplete groundwater supplies, alter existing drainage patterns, exceed capacity of drainage systems, degrade water quality, or result in a loss due to flooding due to a levee or dam. A discussion of whether the Project would place housing or structures in a 100-year flood hazard area, or expose people or structures to inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow is included in Section VII (Impacts Not Found to be Significant) of this Draft EIR. 2. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING A. Project Site The Project Site consists of one full city block comprising approximately 3.55 acres bound by Vine Street to the east, De Longpre Avenue to the north, Ivar Avenue to the west, and Homewood Avenue to the south in Hollywood. The Project Site slopes gently to the south with an approximately 1.3 percent slope, and is developed with three single-story commercial buildings, surface parking areas, and lawn areas. i) Topography The Project Site slopes very gently to the south. The high point of the Project Site is located at the northwest corner, with an elevation of 336.75 feet, and the low point is located at the southeast corner, with an elevation of 329 feet. Drainage across the site is by sheetflow (i.e., along the surface) to the City streets.1 ii) Soil Conditions Fill materials underlying the Project Site consist of silty to clayey sands, sandy silts, and sandy clays.
