BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On May 6,2010, the City, as the lead agency, -published a Notice of Availability (NOA) announcing that the draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Surface Water Treatment Facility was available to the public for review. The draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was submitted to the State Clearinghouse, distributed to local agencies, sent to interested persons, posted with the County Clerk's office, mailed to all property owners of record within a 300 -foot radius of the project site, posted on the site and published in the Lodi News Sentinel. The required 30 -day review period for this project commenced on Thursday, May 6, 2010 and ended on Monday, June 7, 2010. During the public review period, three comments were received on the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration. At the conclusion of the public review period, all written comments were responded to and incorporated in the Final MND. On July 14, 2010, the Site Plan and Architecture Review Committee (SPARC) conducted a public hearing to review the site plan and architecture of the proposed Surface Water Treatment Facility. Following its review and discussion, the SPARC voted 5-0 to approve the plans. ANALYSIS: HDR Consulting Group prepared a Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration on behalf of the City. The Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration identified the areas where the proposed facility could have a potential effect on the environment. Mitigation measures were recommended to reduce all impacts to levels of less -than -significant. After the 30 -day public review period ended, the City received comments from the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, San Joaquin County Council of Governments and California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region. The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District notified the City the project may be subject to the District's rules and the City must submit an Air Impact Assessment and pay any applicable offsite mitigation fees before the first building permit is issued. The San Joaquin County Council of Governments (SJCOG, Inc.) notified the City that the project site is in conflict with the county wide adopted Habitat Conservation Plan and a mitigation measure is required to address loss of open space. Finally, the comment received from California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region notified the City the project would be subject to its approval if the project discharges APPROVED: Konradt Bartlam, Interim City Manager dredge or fill material to waters of the United States. The proposed treatment plant will not discharge any dredge or fill material to the waters of the United States. All the mitigation measures and requirements of the responding agencies have been added into the proposed Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting,Program. - Staff recommends the City Council certify the Mitigated Negative Declaration as an adequate environmental document for the Surface Water Treatment Facility.

The SWTF would include a raw water pump station near the Woodbridge Irrigation District (WID) Main Canal that would pump water from the WID intake structure on the Mokelumne River. The intake is fitted with a 36 -inch pipe to a 30 -inch raw water pipeline to the SWTF. From the SWTF, a treated water pipeline will deliver water to the City's existing water distribution system. The design capacity of the SWTF will be 8 million gallons per day (mgd) with the ability to produce 10 mgd. The SWTF is designed as a membrane treatment plant. The City's water system is currently supplied by 27 groundwater wells that will have chlorination facilities added to each well. The treated surface water supply will account for about 30 percent of the total water supply delivery; groundwater will make up the remainder of the delivery. The Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) was submitted to the State Clearinghouse (SCH # 2010052016) on May 6, 2010 for a 30 -day public review period ending on June 7, 2010. During the public review period, the Draft IS/MND was available for review at the City of Lodi Community Development Department at 221 West Pine Street, Lodi, CA; the City of Lodi Public Works Department at 221 West Pine Street, Lodi, CA; and at the Lodi Public Library, 201 West Locust Street, Lodi, CA. The Draft IS/MND was also available on the City's website, http://www.lodi.gov/com_dev/EIRs.html. FINDINGS: An initial study (IS) has been prepared to assess the SWTF's potential effects on the environment and the significance of those effects. Using the results of the IS, the SWTF would not have any significant effects on the environment once mitigation measures are implemented. This conclusion is supported by the following proposed findings: ® The SWTF would result in no impacts to agriculture and forest resources, land use and planning, mineral resources, public services, and recreation. ® The SWTF would result in less -than -significant impacts to greenhouse gas emissions, population and housing, and utilities and service systems. ® Mitigation would be implemented to reduce potentially significant impacts to less than significant for aesthetics (potential impacts related to visual character/quality of the site and light/glare), air quality (potential impacts related to short-term construction emissions), biological resources (potential impacts to Swainson's hawk and other raptors and migratory birds; and local policies/ordinances protecting trees), cultural resources (potential to disturb or damage undiscovered subsurface cultural or paleontological resources or human remains during construction), geology and soils (potential soil erosion during construction), hazards and hazardous materials (potential spills of hazardous substances during construction), hydrology and water quality (potential soil erosion and spills of hazardous substances during construction), noise (impacts during construction and operation), and transportation (potential conflicts with traffic in the Project area during construction). ® Although there are no known cultural resources that might be disturbed, mitigation is included to address the potential for discovering archaeological, paleontological, and/or human remains during the construction. ® The SWTF would not substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, reduce the number or restrict the range of a special -status species, or eliminate important examples of California history or prehistory. ® The SWTF would not achieve short-term environmental goals to the disadvantage of long- term environmental goals. ® The SWTF would not have environmental effects that are individually limited but cumulatively considerable. ® No substantial evidence exists that the SWTF would have a significant negative or adverse effect on the environment. ® The SWTF incorporates all applicable mitigation measures, as listed below and described in the IS. The following mitigation measures will be implemented as part of the SWTF to avoid or minimize potential environmental impacts. Implementation of these mitigation measures would reduce the potential environmental impacts of the SWTF to less than significant. ® Mitigation Measure AE -1: Reduce Visual Impacts. ® Mitigation Measure AE -2: Minimize Substantial Light or Glare. ® Mitigation Measure AIR -1: Minimize PM 10 Impacts. ® Mitigation Measure BIO -la: Replace Swainson's Hawk Foraging Habitat. ® Mitigation Measure BIO -lb: Avoid Disturbance of Nesting Swainson's Hawks. ® Mitigation Measure BIO -lc: Avoid Disturbance of Nesting Birds. ® Mitigation Measure BIO -2: Replace or Transplant Trees Removed. ® Mitigation Measure CUL -1: Stop Work if Archaeological Materials or Paleontological Are Discovered During Construction. ® Mitigation Measure CUL -2. Stop Work if Human Remains Are Discovered. ® Mitigation Measure HAZ-1: Handling and Storage of Hazardous Materials. ® Mitigation Measure HAZ-2: Compliance with Design Codes and Regulations. ® Mitigation Measure HAZ-3: Enforce Contractual Obligations. ® Mitigation Measure HYDRO -1: Prepare and Implement a SWPPP and Construction BMPs. ® Mitigation Measure NOISE -1: Minimize Noise During Construction. ® Mitigation Measure NOISE -2: Minimize Noise During Operation. ® Mitigation Measure TR -1: Prepare Traffic Control Plan. ® Mitigation Measure TR -2: Haul Route Maintenance.

The Draft IS/MND identified the environmental impacts associated with the construction and operation of the SWTF and recommended mitigation measures to reduce impacts. The statutes and guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) require the Lead Agency to consult with public agencies having jurisdiction over a proposed project and to provide public and other interested parties with an opportunity to comment on a Draft IS/MND. This document responds to environmental issues raised in the comments on the Draft IS/MND. 1.2 Environmental Review Process The Draft IS/MND for the SWTF was submitted to the State Clearinghouse (SCH # 2010052016) on May 6, 2010 for a 30 -day public and agency review and comment, which ended on June 7, 2010. The Draft IS/MND was prepared on behalf of the City in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Statutes (Public Resources Code [PRC] Sections 21000 et seq.) and the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, Section 15000 et seq. of the California Code of Regulations). The City of Lodi is the lead agency for CEQA compliance. In accordance with the CEQA Statutes (PRC Section 21092) and Section 15072 of the CEQA Guidelines, public notice of the Draft IS/MND was provided by the City of Lodi through publication of an announcement in the Lodi Sentinel on May 20, 2010. In accordance with Section 15105(b) of the CEQA Guidelines, the City provided a 30 -day public review period for the Draft IS/MND, ending on June 7, 2010. The public notice published in the Lodi Sentinel included details on how to obtain copies of the Draft IS/MND, and how to provide comments on the document for the Draft IS/MND. Additional notification methods were also used, including: mailing copies of the Draft IS/MND to various agencies and individuals; posting the Notice of Availability (NOA) at the Project site; and mailing the NOA to property owners of record within a 300 -foot radius of the Project site. The NOA included information on how to obtain copies of the Draft IS/MND and how to provide comments on the document. The City received three comment letters on the Draft IS/MND during the 30 -day public and agency comment period. These three comment letters are addressed in Chapter 3 of this document.

The Draft IS/MND is hereby incorporated into this document by reference. 1.3 Project Summary The City currently utilizes groundwater as its sole water supply source. As part of a regional effort to stabilize the groundwater basin, the City plans to reduce its groundwater pumping. To achieve this goal, the City contracted with Woodbridge Irrigation District (WID) in May 2003 to purchase 6,000 acre-feet per year (AFY) of WID's pre -1914 Mokelumne River water entitlement for a period of 40 years. Under the 2003 Agreement, the diversion of WID water from the Mokelumne River is permitted from March 1 through October 15. In April 2009, WID and East Bay Municipal Utilities District (EBMUD) signed a supplementary agreement allowing the City to utilize the water year-round. From March 1 through October 15, the City will receive 5,000 acre-feet (AF); and from October 16 through the end of February, the City will receive 1,000 AF. The WID purchase is intended to supplement the City's groundwater supply to meet current water demands and to reduce the City's dependence on the groundwater aquifer, which is in an overdraft condition (17,140 AFY pumped in 2008 vs. 15,000 AFY safe yield). Groundwater conditions in the Eastern San Joaquin Groundwater Subbasin are threatened primarily by groundwater withdrawals to the east and south of the City, which has resulted in saline water intrusion from the west. For these reasons, the City proposes to build the SWTF. The SWTF is proposed as part of a conjunctive use program that would integrate surface water and groundwater management. The surface water component would be the WID water that would be delivered to the SWTF for treatment and distribution to the City. The groundwater component would be well water that is currently pumped for distribution to the City. With the implementation of the SWTF, the City would pump less groundwater and the groundwater levels would be allowed to recover by in -lieu (natural) recharge. The treated surface water supply would account for about one-third of the total delivery into the water distribution system, on average, but would potentially range under current demand conditions from 18 to nearly 100 percent of the total delivery depending on day-to-day water demands. The remainder of the water supply would be groundwater, supplied by the City's 27 existing wells and one planned well, which would be improved to meet regulatory requirements. City of Lodi Surface Water Treatment Facility Final Initial Study/Mtigated Negative Dedaration 2 June 2010 Fl 1.3.1 Project Objectives Final Inidal S1tudlylUdgated Megadve Ded"on The SWTF was developed to meet the following objectives: O To protect and restore groundwater resources O To provide adequate water supply to accommodate long-term growth The primary purpose of the SWTF is to provide a secure, reliable supplemental supply of water for the City that will meet current and future needs, while protecting groundwater and reducing dependence on groundwater. 1.3.2 Project Location The City proposes to construct the SWTF on four acres of city -owned property between the Union Pacific Railroad spur line and Lodi Lake near the intersection of Turner Road and Lower Sacramento Road. The raw water pump station (RWPS) would be built on the west side of Lower Sacramento Road across from the WID intake and fish screen, and south of the WID canal on property currently owned by WID. Only the portion of the raw water pipeline located on the city -owned property is part of the Proposed Project. A 3,200 -foot long transmission pipeline from the SWTF would connect to the existing distribution system water mains at four points along Mills Avenue, ending at Elm Street. 1.3.3 Project Facilities The RWPS would be constructed with four 30 -inch pump cans designed for 75 -horsepower (hp) vertical turbine pumps. Three 50 -hp pumps would be installed in the oversized cans with a capacity of 5.7 million gallons per day (mgd) each .The RWPS would deliver 2.0 to 11.5 mgd of untreated water to the SWTF. The 36 -inch gravity line from the WID fish screen to the RWPS and the 30 -inch discharge pressure line from the RWPS to the SWTF were previously constructed as part of the planned widening and reconstruction of Lower Sacramento Road by the County. As such, the construction of this portion of the raw water pipeline was covered under previous CEQA documentation. The SWTF would have an Operations Building that would house the membranes, laboratory, and administration and operations offices. A Chemical Building would house a workshop, membrane feed pumps, autostrainers, chemical storage and feed systems, and a future dewatering system. Space would be provided on the site to allow for expanding the Operations and Chemical building s to accommodate plant expansion to 20 mgd. A third building would contain the high service pumps and electrical room. Other components of the SWTF would include a reverse filtration waste tank, plate settler for reverse filtration water, sedimentation basin, high service pump station, soda ash silo, and a three -million -gallon storage tank. An access road to the SWTF would extend northwest from the intersection of Turner Road and North Mills Avenue in the southeast corner of the City's property. The road would be 24 -feet wide with four - foot wide shoulders. The intersection of Turner Road and North Mills Avenue would require signal modifications to accommodate a four -leg intersection. The finished water pipeline would be placed along the south side of the SWTF, parallel to the railroad tracks. The 3,200 -foot -long, 36 inch transmission main would exit the SWTF and follow an access road to City of Lodi 3 Surface Water Treatment Facility Final Initial Study/Mltigated Negative Dedaration June 2010 Fl Real Inidal SlturlylM igated IVkg dve Ded"on the intersection of Turner Road and North Mills Avenue, where it would tunnel under the railroad tracks and continue south along North Mills Avenue to Elm Street. The City's water system is currently supplied by groundwater from 27 well pump stations and a grid water main system. To ensure compliance with state and federal regulations, modifications to the existing groundwater distribution system would include: (1) chlorination of each groundwater supply to provide a minimum of 0.5 milligram per liter of residual chlorine at the entry point into the distribution system; and (2) continuous monitoring of the chlorine residual at each distribution system entry point. 1.4 Timeline for Project Implementation The Lodi City Council is expected to make a decision on certifying the MND and approving the SWTF at its meeting on July 21, 2010. Assuming that the SWTF is approved, construction of the SWTF is anticipated to start in January 2011. Construction is expected to occur over an 18 -month period. Therefore, the SWTF is projected to come online in the summer of 2012. aty of Lodi Surface Water Treatrrent Facility Trial Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 4 June 2010 Fl Real Inidal SltudylM igated Air Wdve Declaration Chapter 2 - Written Comments and Responses The City received three comment letters on the Draft IS/MND during the public and agency comment period.

Response to Comment B-1: This comment is noted. The City plans to participate in the San Joaquin County Multi -Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP). The City is in the process of preparing the SJMSCP review form. The City will ensure that the appropriate Incidental Take and Minimization Measures are properly implemented and monitored and that appropriate fees are paid in compliance with the SJMSCP. Response to Comment B-2: This comment is noted. As stated on pages 4-13 and 4-14 of the IS/MND, there are no waters of the United States on the Project site. Qualified wetland specialists visited the Project site on August 2, 2007, and February 12, 2010, to identify waters of the United States and the state. As stated on page 4-14, "no wetlands or other waters of the U.S. occur on the SWTF site, access road, or associated facilities."Therefore, permits will not be required from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Section 404) or the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. In addition, there were no waters of the state. Response to Comment B-3: This comment is noted. The City will seek coverage under the SJMSCP. However, because there will be no impacts to wetlands or other waters of the United States, the SWTF will not require a Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Therefore, Endangered Species Act Section 7 consultation will not be required. Response to Comment B-4: This comment is noted. The City will implement Incidental Take Minimization Measures disturbance and pay SJMSCP fees prior to ground disturbance.

The City plans on designing and constructing the access road to serve both areas. The volume of traffic visiting the SWTF is expected to be minor. Most visitors are expected to arrive by automobile; however, a few large trucks would arrive for deliveries, construction, and maintenance. The access road to the SWTF would extend northwest from the intersection of Turner Road and North Mills Avenue in the southeast corner of the City's property (Figure 2-6). The road would be 24 -feet wide with four -foot wide shoulders. The intersection of Turner Road and North Mills Avenue would require signal modifications to accommodate a four -leg intersection. For the westbound traffic on Turner Road, an existing raised traffic island in the intersection would be removed to accommodate the northbound through movement from North Mills Avenue. A new traffic signal post would be installed on the existing raised median east of the intersection with new traffic signal heads for both eastbound and westbound left turn movements. In addition, an existing 25 -foot signal mast -arm with a street light and signal heads for the northbound, westbound through, and eastbound left turn movement. It would also have a "No Right Turn" sign that would operate with the railroad crossing signal to prevent vehicles from turning right on a red light when a train is approaching. The existing high voltage power pole would remain. For the northbound direction on North Mills Avenue, an existing left turn lane would change to a through/left lane. The existing raised traffic island on North Mills Avenue would be reshaped and the existing traffic signal post on the island would be relocated. The 40 -foot mast on the traffic signal post would be removed and replaced with a street light. The existing signal post on the right turn median would receive a new southbound signal head for southbound traffic. For eastbound traffic on Turner Road, a left turn pocket would be added at the intersection to allow movement to the access road. An existing raised median and street light on West Turner Road would be relocated adjacent the new left turn lane. A new 50 -foot traffic signal mast would be located on the southwest corner to replace the 40 -foot mast arm removed from the island on North Mills Avenue. The crosswalk on the west quadrant would be moved west to maintain 40 -foot spacing in front of the new 50 - foot mast. An existing signal controller located at the southwest corner would be modified for the new eastbound left turn and the southbound movements. All new traffic signal heads would be light -emitting diodes (LED) to reduce energy use. Currently, the traffic signals also function as the railroad crossing control signals. The City met with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and UPRR to determine if any changes to the crossing controls would be needed with the intersection improvements. Due to the low number of incidents at the intersection, the CPUC decided to allow the existing crossing controls to remain. American Disabilities City of Lodi 18 Surface Water Treatment Facility Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration June 2010 Fl Final Inidal S1tudlylUdgated nlegadve Ded"on Act (ADA), signage, and striping improvements would be included in the proposed improvements. A preliminary design will be submitted to UPRR for review during the 60 percent design review. This will then be followed by submitting a General Order 88B (application for railroad crossing) to the CPUC. New crosswalk, curb ramps, and traffic signal poles with traffic and pedestrian signal heads would be added for the north leg of the intersection. The access road would be constructed along the lake, which would necessitate the removal of mature trees and an earthen embankment. The access road would be routed from Turner Road, between the existing concrete pedestrian/bicycle path that runs along the lake and the stormwater pump station to the SWTF's entrance gate. A second wooden power pole located in the berm would have to be reinstalled when the berm is removed. A few street lights and park benches along the path would be moved away from the access road to the lake side of the path. The lights at the park and the SWTF would be integrated along with the road and the pathway. Figure 2-7 shows the existing view from Turner Road looking towards the lake. Figure 2-8 shows a conceptual image of the same view after the SWTF is built after the removal of 12 oak trees (three valley oaks and nine interior live oaks) along the proposed access road. Figure 2-9 shows a conceptual image of the SWTF as viewed from Turner Road after the removal of fetw oak trees (01W six valley oak and thfoe 13 interior live oaks) and one black locust tree from the SWTF site during construction. 2.3.6 Architectural, Landscaping, and Security During the architectural phase, several specialized crews would apply finishes, tile and flooring, windows, paint, and wall fixtures. Decorative fencing or a wrought iron style fence would be constructed where the SWTF is exposed to the park or otherwise visible from the street. On the side facing the railroad track, one -inch chain-link fencing, eight feet in height topped with three strands of barbed wire would be placed. The SWTF would have three vehicular gates: the main entrance, delivery entrance, and a utility entrance. Motorized gates would be provided at both the main and delivery entrances. The main entrance would be located in the parking lot adjacent to the Operations Building. The delivery entrance would be located on the other side of the storage tank from the Operations Building and out of view. The utility gate would provide access for service or maintenance on the north side of the Operations Building. It would be a manual gate since its use would be infrequent and it would be normally locked. Manual gates would be provided at the parking lot in front of the administration offices to prevent park guests from using the SWTF's parking during weekends or after hours. Landscaping within the facility would be kept to the perimeter to screen the SWTF and to minimize maintenance. Evergreen trees would be placed along the fence line facing the future park. Nineteen oak trees and one black locust trees would be removed in the construction of the SWTF and the access road. The trees removed would be mitigated with oak trees planted in the future park and at other city parks.

Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The future SWTF site and access road contain several trees, which would be removed during construction. The City's policy contained in the recently adopted General Plan (Implementing Policy P -P13) requires a two-for-one replacement or transplantation for trees removed. In addition, the City regulates the removal of trees that are defined as "heritage trees." There are no trees at the RWPS site. The number and species of trees that could potentially be removed during construction is shown in Table 4-2 and Figure 4-1. Compliance with the following mitigation measure will reduce the potential impacts to trees to less than significant. Table 4-2. Trees Within the SWTF Site and Access Road Tag # Tree Type DBH (in.)

This program should be structured to ensure that changes to the project that the lead agency has adopted to mitigate or avoid significant environmental impacts are carried out during project implementation. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) is intended to be used by City of Lodi (City) staff, responsible and participating agencies, and mitigation monitoring personnel during implementation of the project. The intent of the MMRP is to ensure the effective implementation and enforcement of adopted mitigation measures. The MMRP consists of a compliance checklist that identifies the adopted mitigation measures, the timing of implementation of the measures, the monitoring frequency of the measures, the entity responsible for their implementation and monitoring, and the performance criteria used to evaluate implementation of the mitigation measures. The mitigation measures presented in the following table are incorporated into the proposed project.

Construction equipment, on -road heavy-duty trucks, and construction -worker vehicles would also generate criteria air pollutant emissions. Emissions from construction -worker commute trips would be minor compared to emissions from heavy-duty trucks. Criteria pollutant concentrations of reactive organic gases (ROG) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) from these emissions sources would incrementally add to regional atmospheric loading of ozone precursors during the construction period. The Guide for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts (GAMAQ) recognizes that construction equipment emits ozone precursors and indicates that very large construction projects may exceed the annual thresholds for ROG and NOx emissions. In which case, San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) will recommend quantification methods for these projects on a case-by-case basis.

Alternatively, nest trees may be removed between September 1 and February 15, when the nests are unoccupied. Mitigation Measure BIO -1c: Avoid Disturbance Before beginning Throughout City and primary Surveys and of Nesting Birds (except Swainson's Hawk). any construction construction construction monitoring are If construction activities (i.e., ground clearing and or ground- period contractor conducted in grading, including tree removal of trees or shrubs) disturbing accordance with are scheduled to occur during the non -breeding activities SJMSCP and season (September 1 through January 31), no CDFG mitigation is required. If construction activities are requirements scheduled to occur during the breeding season (February 1 through August 31), the following measures are required to avoid potential adverse effects to nesting resident and migratory birds: City of Lodi Surface Water Treatment Facility Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program June 2010 Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the City of Lodi Surface Water Treatment Facility Mitigation Measure Initiation of Monitoring Responsibility for Verification Performance Date Compliance Mitigation Frequency of Compliance Criteria Completed • A qualified wildlife biologist will conduct preconstruction surveys of all potential nesting habitats within 500 feet of Project activities where access is available. • If active nests are found during preconstruction surveys, a no -disturbance buffer acceptable in size to the CDFG will be created around active nests during the breeding season or until it is determined that all young have fledged. Bird nests initiated during construction are presumed to be unaffected and no buffer is necessary. However, the "take" of any individuals will be prohibited. • If preconstruction surveys indicate that nests are inactive or potential habitat is unoccupied during the construction period, no further mitigation is required. Trees and shrubs within the construction footprint that have been determined to be unoccupied by nesting birds or that are located outside the no -disturbance buffer for active nests may be removed. Mitigation Measure BIO -2: Replace or Transplant Before beginning Throughout City and primary In accordance with Trees Removed. any construction construction construction City requirements Pursuant to the City of Lodi General Plan, where tree or ground- period contractor removal is required, the City shall replace or transplant disturbing the removed tree.

These drainages to the BMPs shall be selected to achieve maximum sediment extent practicable removal and represent the best available technology and feasible that is economically achievable. Performance and effectiveness of these BMPs shall be determined either by visual means where applicable (i.e., observation of above -normal sediment release) or by actual water sampling in cases where verification of contaminant reduction or elimination (inadvertent petroleum release) is required by the RWQCB to determine adequacy of the measure. • The grading and erosion control plan shall include specific measures to accomplish erosion and sediment control and to minimize the removal of natural vegetation. The plan shall include, but is not limited to, the following measures. • Grading activities will be scheduled for the dry season only (April 15 to October 15), to the extent possible. This will reduce the chance of severe City of Lodi Surface Water Treatment Facility Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program 11 June 2010 erosion from intense rainfall and surface runoff, as well as the potential for soil saturation in swale areas. • If grading occurs during the rainy season, stormwater runoff from the construction area will be regulated through a stormwater management/erosion control plan that may include temporary onsite silt traps and/or basins with multiple discharge points to natural drainages and energy dissipaters. Stockpiles of loose material will be covered and runoff diverted away from exposed soil material. If rain causes the work to stop, a positive grading away from slopes will be provided to carry the surface runoff to areas where flow can be controlled. Sediment basin/traps will be located and operated to minimize the amount of offsite sediment transport. Any trapped sediment will be removed from the basin or trap and placed at a suitable location onsite, away from concentrated flows, or removed to an approved disposal site. • Temporary erosion control measures will be provided until perennial revegetation or landscaping is established and can minimize discharge of sediment into nearby waterways. • After pipelines and other underground facilities are installed, compacted backfill shall be placed and the ground surface shall be restored to its original condition and topography. • Temporary stockpiling of excavated or imported material shall occur only in approved construction staging areas. Temporary or permanent soil disposal stockpile areas must be outside jurisdictional wetlands, riparian areas, and oak woodlands. Stockpiles remaining onsite through the wet season shall be protected (e.g., with straw bales) to prevent erosion. • After completion of grading, erosion protection will be provided on all cut -and -fill slopes. Revegetation will be facilitated by mulching, hydroseeding, or City of Lodi Surf ace Water Treatment Facility Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program 12 June 2010 other methods and shall be initiated as soon as possible after the completion of grading and prior to the onset of the rainy season (by November 1). • Permanent revegetation and landscaping will emphasize drought -tolerant perennial ground coverings, shrubs, and trees to improve the probability of slope and soil stabilization without adverse impacts to slope stability from irrigation infiltration and long-term root development. • BMPs selected and implemented for the Project will be in place and operational prior to the onset of major earthwork on the site. The construction phase facilities will be maintained regularly and cleared of accumulated sediment as necessary. • Hazardous materials such as fuels and solvents used on the construction sites will be stored in covered containers and protected from rainfall, runoff, and vandalism. A stockpile of spill cleanup materials will be readily available at all construction sites. Employees will be trained in spill prevention and cleanup, and individuals will be designated as responsible for prevention and cleanup activities.
