The recommendation is based on the following summary of the Environmental Evaluation: 1. The project will not: create unstable earth conditions, or changes in geologic substructures or topography;increase exposure to flooding,impair flow of water, or after course or flow of flood waters. There is no evidence that the proposed project will result in the obstruction I of any scenic view. 2. There will be no long-term increase in wind or water erosion of soils, changes in siltation, or modification of Tassajara Creek as a result of the proposed project. Ungrouted rock slope protection extending out from the bridge abutments will be covered with soil and seeded as will other exposed areas. These two measures are features of the project and will minimize erosion potential. 3. The project will not encroach upon habitat of any unique, threatened or endangered species of plants or animals since none have been identified in the project area. In the event of a wet season prior to construction, qualified personnel will survey the project area to confirm the absence of the Califomia Tiger Salamander. If the California Tiger Salamander is located on site the recommendations of the project biologist for preservation/mitigation will be incorporated into the project or the area avoided. Approximately five trees may be removed as a result of the bridge replacement and improved road alignment. Trees to be removed shall be replaced with native species at a 3:1 ratio. The Live Oak located at the south west corner of the proposed bridge shall be protected through such measures as fencing and blankets. 4. The project will not convert prime agricultural land to non-agricultural use or impair the agricultural productivity of prime agricultural land as no crops are being grown within the project area. 5. The project does not have the potential to achieve short-term goals to the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals. Construction of the proposed bridge improvements will create minor, short-term, temporary impacts. But no significant impacts will occur since the following best management practices are incorporated into the project and in project specifications: 6. Limiting work hours to 7:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, unless modified upon written approval,will reduce construction noise levels and shall be incorporated as part of the construction contract. Local air quality will temporarily deteriorate in the project area due to construction equipment emissions and dust. To minimize emissions, contract specifications shall stipulate the use of properly tuned and muffled equipment. Dust palliatives or water may be applied to minimize fugitive dust during construction, if warranted. Conservation measures shall be observed if the application of water or dust palliatives are necessary. 7. Standard construction safety practices will be followed during construction to ensure no accidental release of hazardous substances or increase the potential for exposure to these substances. 8. During construction, traffic will be diverted to a temporary detour north of the existing bridge, within the proposed temporary right-of-way. Construction of the bridge and detour shall occur during periods of low or no flow (e.g. April to October) Page Two ' Johnston Road Bridge May 4, 1994 avoid water quality impacts. If water is present,the construction area shall be de-watered by installing cofferdams and diverting water through a pipe,around the work site,to be discharged downstream in a non-erosive manner. Furthermore, sediment traps and/or filters shall be installed on an as needed basis. Standard construction safety practices shall be followed in order to reduce the possibility of a spill of gasoline, oil, or other pollutants which may have a significant impact on water quality. What changes to the project would mitigate the identified impacts. N/A USGS Quad Street Tassajara Base Map Sheet#V-20 Parol# Various GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS: 1.

ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION Johnston Road Bridge Replacement The proposed project involves removal and replacement of a deteriorating wooden bridge with a new bridge on an improved alignment. The bridge will be replaced, in the same location, with a cast-in-place concrete box girder structure and the new alignment will extend approximately 250 linear feet to the east and west of the existing bridge. The following sources were consulted in the process of preparing the Checklist and conducting the evaluation:. - References: 1.) . Contra Costa.Resource Mapping System 2.) The County General Plan and EIR on the General Plan 3.) RAREFIND - California Natural Diversity Data Base 4.) Sonoma c+ate University - Archeological Survey 5.) California Department of Transportation Historic Bridges Report (1987) Field Review: 1.) Field Reviews conducted 30 June 1990, 24 January 1991, 4 August 1992, and 19 January 1994. 1.: Earth (A - G) According to the County Resource Mapping System,Conejo Clay Loam with a 0 to 2 percent slope and Diablo Clay with a 15 to 30 percent slope are found in the project area. Conejo Clay Loam has no hazard of erosion whereas Diablo Clay displays moderate erosion potential:: Loose rock slope protection will be required at the base of the bridge extending beyond bridge abutments to minimize erosive flow damage. It, as well as other exposed areas, will be covered with soil and seeded. Modification of the creek channel nor an increase in soil erosion will occur as a result of the project if these measures are implemented. Adherence to standard dust. control and erosion control practices including, but not limited to, general watering of exposed areas and/or use of chemical stabilizers will minimize impacts. These measures shall be incorporated into the construction contract. Superficial grading of the project area is not expected to result in unstable earth conditions or change geographic substructures. Exposure of people or property to geologic hazard&will not increase as a result of the project. A temporary detour will be constructed which will create a minor, insignificant and temporary change in ground surface relief features. However, fabric will be laid on the slopes and in the bottom of the creek to minimize damage to the creek area. The approximately 350 cubic yards of soil used will be removed and the area restored. Johnston Road Bridge Environmental Evaluation May 4, 1994 2. Air (A & B) During construction of the bridge, machinery and vehicles will generate short-term emissions and objectional odors which will temporarily deteriorate air quality at the project site. Contract specifications shall stipulate the use of properly tuned and muffled equipment to minimize this impact. Air quality impacts will also be reduced by eliminating unnecessary idling of machines when not in use. Implementation of dust control practices noted in #1 - Earth (A-G), will also minimize air quality impacts. (C) A minor alteration in the vertical profile of the proposed bridge will not result in a significant change to the climate, air movement, moisture, or temperature of the project area. 3. Water (A - 1) Johnston Road bridge crosses over Tassajara Creek. The project area is in a flood hazard area according to the Contra Costa Resource Mapping System. However, because the new bridge will be constructed at the same location with a slightly higher elevation than the existing bridge, no increased exposure of people or -property to flooding will occur. Additionally, since the design of the new bridge is similar to the existing bridge it will not impair the flow of water; nor will it alter the course or flow of flood waters. The existing bridge deck measures approximately 18' x 52' and will expand to approximately 34' x 72'. The 20' increase in the bridge width does not create an impervious surface area that substantially increases the rate and amount of runoff. Therefore, the amount of surface water in Tassajara Creek will not change significantly as a result of the project. Construction of the bridge shall occur during periods of low or no flow (e.g. April to October) to avoid water quality impacts. If water is present, the construction area shall be de-watered by installing cofferdams and diverting water through a pipe, around the work site, to be discharged downstream in a non-erosive manner. Therefore no discharge into surface waters will occur. , Also, sediment traps and/or filters shall be installed on an as needed basis. Culverts will be installed under the temporary crossing to pass water downstream in the unlikely event flows occur in the creek. As noted in #1 - Earth, fill for the temporary detour will be removed and the area restored upon completion of the project. As mentioned in #10 - Risk of Upset, standard construction safety practices shall be followed in order to reduce the possibility of a spill of gasoline, oil, or other pollutants which may have a significant impact on water quality. Minor grading for the improved alignment may require the installation of an additional inlet pipe that would tie into the existing drainage system, but this will not change the direction or rate of flow of ground waters. No significant changes in absorption rates or drainage patterns will occur as a result of the project. Public water supplies will not be affected as a result of the project as none are within the project limits. Johnston Road Bridge Environmental Evaluation May 4, 1994 4. Plant Life (A - D) Plant life within the project area consists of pasture land, landscape trees, remnant orchard, and riparian vegetation. Approximately five trees (e.g. walnut, cottonwood, and valley oak) may be removed to allow for the new road alignment and bridge construction (Figure 3). Trees shall be replaced at a 3:1 ratio with native species once the new bridge is built and the temporary detour area restored. Plantings will occur on the northeast side of the bridge within the existing right-of-way (Figure 3). The Live Oak located at the south west corner of the proposed bridge shall be protected through such measures as fencing and blankets. . No new (e.g. non-native) species will be introduced to the project area and no barrier to the normal replenishment of existing species will occur as a result of the project. The rock slope protection extending beyond the bridge abutments and the slopes above the creek disturbed by construction activities shall be seeded upon completion of the project as noted in #1 - Earth. The County Resource Mapping System, field reviews, and RAREFIND showed no unique, threatened, or endangered species of plants in the project area so none.will be reduced. No reduction of acreage of any agricultural crop will occur as none are being grown within the project area as noted in #8 - Land Use. 5. Animal Life (A - D) The project will not encroach upon habitat of any unique, threatened or endangered species of animals according to the County Resource Mapping System,field reviews, and RAREFIND. In the event of a wet season prior to construction, qualified personnel will survey the project area to confirm the absence of the California Tiger Salamander. If the California Tiger Salamander is located on site the recommendations of the project biologist for preservation/mitigation will be incorporated into the project or the area avoided. This species breeds primarily in vernal pools and other temporary ponds and is not commonly found in streams or creeks. In addition to seeding slopes, the trees removed from the project area will be replaced providing habitat for animals. No new species of animals will be introduced into the area and no significant change in the diversity of species will occur as a result of the project. No removal of fish or wildlife habitat will occur. 6. Noise (A & B) The dominant source of noise within the project area comes from vehicles using Johnston Road, a two lane road. The proposed bridge deck will have two 12' lanes replacing the existing 9' lanes. In addition, the new bridge will not be located closer to any sensitive noise receptors. Consequently, the project, of and by itself, will not significantly increase noise levels. A temporary detour will be constructed approximately 40' north of the existing bridge, however, the nearest receptor is over 300 feet away, so no significant noise impact will occur. The temporary detour will be removed as previously noted. Limiting work hours to 7:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, Johnston Road Bridge Environmental Evaluation May 4, 1994 unless modified upon written approval, will reduce construction noise levels and shall be incorporated into the construction contract. In general, construction activities produce noise levels of 86 DBA at 50 feet which is well below the threshold of pain of 120-140 DBA. Limiting hours of work and following the best management practices noted in #2 -Air, will reduce construction noise levels and shall be incorporated in construction specifications. 7. Light and Glare The design of the new bridge increases the size of the bridge deck but it wiil not produce any significant new glare. Lights are not included in the project design. 8. Land Use The existing land use within the project limits is a combination of pasture land and rural residential parcels. The County General Plan defines Johnston Road as a collector road and the area is zoned agricultural (i.e. one unit per five acres) but no crops are being grown within the project limits. Acquisition of temporary (approximately 4,051 square feet) and permanent (approximately 2,265 square feet) right-of-ways will not alter the present or planned land use of the area (Figure 3). The capacity of the bridge increases from two 9' to two 12' lanes as a result of the bridge replacement but the capacity of Johnston Road remains the same as noted in #6 Noise. 9. Natural Resources (A) The project will use paving materials (i.e. asphalt) during construction which will not significantly impact this resource. The use of oil and gasoline to operate the machinery for construction purposes is negligible and of a short-term nature.` Best management practices noted in #2 - Air (A & B) will minimize the consumption of natural resources. 10. Risk of Upset (A)_ The proposed project has the potential to release hazaedous substances, such as petroleum, during construction. To ensure no accidental release of hazardous substances or increase the potential for exposure to these substances, standard construction safety practices will be followed. The County Resource Mapping System did not identify any petroleum pipelines or electric transmission lines in the project area. Johnston Road Bridge Environmental Evaluation May 4, 1994 (B) The project has the potential for interfering with an emergency response. However, emergency response agencies and the general public will be notified of the bridge closure and temporary detour prior to the onset of construction. Standard specifications require the installation of sufficient signs. warning of construction and stipulate that work hours will be restricted as mentioned in # 6 - Noise (A & B). F 11. & 12. Population and Housing As mentioned in # 6 - Noise and #8 - Land Use, replacing the bridge with a larger bridge and improving the alignment along Johnston Road will not increase the capacity of the roadway. Therefore, the project, of and by itself, will not alter the density of the human population in the area nor affect existing housing or create a demand for.additional housing. 13. Transportation/Circulation (A - F) Johnston Road is defined as a collector road in the County's General Plan. Constructing a new bridge and improving the road alignment will not generate substantial additional traffic even though the size of the new bridge will increase from two 9' lanes to two 12' lanes. Johnston Road remains a two lane road with no increase in capacity as previously noted. Accordingly, the density of the area will not increase as a result of the proposed project. During construction, vehicles associated with those activities will utilize the local street system but the amount of traffic generated by the project is not substantial. Public safety will be improved by removing the deteriorating bridge and replacing it with a new one. As mentioned in #10 - Risk of Upset, the project has the potential for interfering with an emergency response however, agencies shall be notified of the detour prior to the onset of construction. . 14. Public Services (A - D & F) The bridge replacement and improved road alignment will not increase the need for fire or police protection, schools, parks, or other governmental services as the land use remains the same (See #8 - Land Use). (E) Johnston Road is currently a County maintained road so periodic maintenance of road improvements will continue to be performed by the County. Johnston Road Bridge Environmental Evaluation May 4, 1994 15. Energy (A & B) Minor amounts of non-renewable fuel resources will be consumed during construction, but this is a short-term, temporary and minor impact. Eliminating unnecessary idling of machines when not in use and using properly tuned equipment as mentioned in #2 - Air (A & B) and #9 - Natural Resources, will further minimize the consumption of energy resources. 16. Utilities The project will result in the relocation of some utilities and all relocation activities shall be coordinated with the appropriate utility agencies. 17. Human Health (A & B) The proposed project has the potential to release hazardous substances during construction. Potential health hazards due to accidental'petroleum spills shall be minimized by following best management practices as noted in #10- Risk of Upset. The proposed project will not create any known health hazard or increase the potential for exposure to these hazards. The replacement of the old deteriorating wooden bridge with the new structure will increase public safety (See #13 -Transportation/Circulation). 18., 19. & 20 Aesthetics. Recreation and Cultural Resources Johnston Road has been identified as a scenic route in the County's General Plan. Approximately five trees (e.g. walnut, cottonwood; and valley oak) may be removed as a result of the project which is not a significant impact on the aesthetics of the project area. Any trees removed to allow for construction will be replaced with native species at a 3:1 ratio as noted in #4 - Plant Life. The proposed bridge will have a slightly different vertical profile from the existing bridge. This is an insignificant change and will not diminish the aesthetics of the area. The sight of construction equipment may be visually unattractive, but this is a minor, short-term and temporary impact ending upon completion of the project. No significant negative long- term aesthetic impacts will occur as a result of this project. The County General Plan has designated Tassajara Creek as a highly sensitive area due to the probability of archeological sites along permanent and seasonal streams. However, according to the County Resource Mapping System, a Sonoma State Records Search, and the California Historic Bridges Inventory prepared by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), no historical or archaeological sites exist in the project vicinity. Furthermore, the area has been previously disturbed through construction of the existing bridge. Johnston Road Bridge Environmental Evaluation May 4, 1994 Mandatory Findings of Significance (A - D) Due to construction equipment, air quality will be temporarily degraded at the project site. However, no permanent long-term impacts will result (see #2 - Air A & B). No endangered species of plants or animals are within the project area. There will be no encroachment upon any habitat or elimination of any animal, fish, or wildlife community as noted in #'s 4 & 5 - Plant and Animal Life. There will be no adverse environmental effects on human beings as noted in #17 - Human Health. Should examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory be found, measures described in #20 - Cultural Resources shall be imposed. There are no cumulative impacts associated with the project. The project does not have the potential to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals. :jef c:johnston�ohnsrev.sum Johnston Road Bridge Replacement County File CP #94-28 State Clearinghouse Janet Frattini June 14, 1994 Ofc. of Intergovernmental Mgmt Public Works Department cp7:94-28noi.ml 1400 - 10th Street Sacramento, CA 95814 Neil Leary Main Library County Library Public Works Department Pleasant Hill Danville Branch 825 Hartz Way INTEROFFICE Danville, CA 94526 CC Mosquito Abatement District BAAQMD San Ramon Valley Unified Attn: Charles Beesley, Manager Attn: Environ') Review Section School District 155 Mason Circle 939 Ellis Street 699 Old Orchard Drive Concord, CA 94520 San Francisco, CA 94109 Danville, CA 94526 Contra Costa Water District Central CC Sanitary District Tassajara Fire Protection District Attention: Dennis Pisila 5019 Imhoff Place 6100 Camino Tassajara P.O.

Clifford Hansen Deputy-Administration Our File: Johnston Rd. Bridge Replacement Project No.: 0662-6R4143 County File No. CP 94-28 William Thomson, Esq. Law Offices of Estrada & Thomson 203 South "S" Street P.O. Box 2927 Livermore, CA 94551-2927 Dear Mr. Thomson: Thank you for submitting comments on our Johnston Road Bridge Replacement project on behalf of Amy Stiles. In your letter, several factors based on the "substantial evidence of significant effect on the environment" (PRC Sec. 21080) argument objecting to the adoption of a Negative Declaration were posited. The basic premise.of your position is that"when the proposed bridge widening is viewed with a focus on its impact on the entire area, it becomes apparent that a significant effect on the environment is present." In support of this point, the following opinions were offered: (1) Widening of the bridge would be a requirement for .the approval of a golf course and when the bridge widening is_viewed in conjunction with the golf course, "widening of the bridge will substantially increase traffic as well as air pollution and potential population growth in the immediate area". (2) ''Widening of the bridge would result in the depletion of groundwater due to the fact that the golf course then may be'constructed." (3) Certain aspects of the bridge. widening such as the method and manner of the construction of the temporary detour,would be located on Ms. Stiles property, "resulting in the tearing down of existing fences, severely impacting her horse boarding business" remain unknown. (4) Serious public controversy may exist,but the nature of concern is not identified, because of an affirmative answer in our Initial Study, page 2 under "General Considerations, Item #3:' (5) The Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration did not "clearly indicate where all documents relating to the project may be reviewed" per PRC Sec. 21092. August 22, 1994 Johnston Road Bridge William Thomson, Esq. Page #2 Our response to each of the points enumerated above are as follows: (1) The existing bridge is a two-lane,with no shoulders, timber structure. The bridge deck is badly cracked and pitted, allowing moisture to penetrate the bridge structure. The beams show signs of insect infestation and signs of rotting appear on 10 out of the 16 beam seats on the east abutment. Under the Federal Highway Bridge Rehabilitation and Replacement (HBRR) program, all bridges are subject to annual inspection from which a ranking is assigned to determine eligibility of a bridge for the program. Johnston Road bridge was ranked at 117.28 in 1987(a bridge must achieve a ranking of 50 or more to become eligible), five years prior to the application filing for the golf course. The bridge is being replaced because of its deteriorated condition in order to continue to provide safe access to the properties east of the structure. Since the bridge is of wooden construction, replacement is the only option under the HBRR program. The replacement structure will also have two lanes, but with four foot shoulders; therefore, the width of the proposed bridge is slightly wider, but the number of lanes is not increased. The construction of the proposed project does not represent a chain of cause and effect. The "cause" for the replacement is the disintegrating condition of the bridge and not as a condition for the proposed golf course. Any proposed alterations to the present land use . is a result of applications for changes to the permitted uses of the land under the County General Plan and current zoning standards,and,as such,"any physical development resulting from such pressures would require CEQA analysis by whatever lead agency received applications from interested developers" (Marin Municipal Water District v KG Land Corporation California). The speculation that air pollution and population growth are "effects" of the proposed golf course would need to be considered in the environmental review process for the golf course proposal. In fact, "insignificant" answers were provided on the Environmental Checklist prepared for the golf course project under#2 Air and #11 Population (Contra Costa County Community Development Department File No. 2017-92, 1992). The proposed golf course application has been recommended for denial. Based on the project description, impacts associated with the bridge replacement were evaluated in the Initial Study for the project and a Negative Declaration is the appropriate document. Substantial evidence has not been submitted to substantiate a fair argument that the project as proposed will have a significant effect on the environment. The Initial Study was submitted to the Sate Clearinghouse and on 27 July 1994, we received a letter stating that none of the state agencies submitted comments. (2) See above response. In addition, an insignificant answer was recorded for #3 Water (f - h) relating to groundwater and public water impacts for the proposed golf course (Contra Costa County Community Development Department File No. 2017-92, 1992). (3) The amount of land required from the Stiles property (as shown on Figure 3 of the environmental document) is approximately 2,500 square feet of permanent right-of-way, about 2,800 square feet for a temporary construction easement, and roughly 800 square feet for a drainage and maintenance easement, for a total of 6,100 square feet, of which only a little over half represents permanent usage. The total acreage of the Stiles property is 6.22 Augdst'22, '1994 Johnston Road Bridge V;Miam Thomson, Esq. Page #3 acres or 270,943.2 square feet, thus, only a little over two percent of the land wM be utilized for construction purposes and only over a little over one percent will be lost once the new bridge is completed. In addition, some of the land to be used lies within a Department of Fish and Game conservation easement. The minor amount of the Stiles property used in the project will not interfere with horse boarding activities. Please see #8 Land Use on the Environmental Evaluation. During construction, existing fences within the construction zone will be either relocated or replaced with temporary construction fencing along the temporary right-of-way as shown on Figure 3 of the environmental document. Once construction is completed, a fence matching the original fence will be erected on the new permanent right-of-way. (4) Item # 3 is not answered in the affirmative. The checkmark precedes the "no" answer which is the correct answer, thus, an existence of serious public controversy does not exist for which an environmental impact report (EIR)would be required. A typographical error was made with regards to the placement of the 'des"in brackets rather than following them. (5) Comment noted. However, the non-inclusion of a statement indicating where the documents related to the project may be reviewed does not constitute inadequacy of the notice since the substantive compliance with the notice content requirements were met by direct mailings to the owners and occupants of contiguous property (PRC Sec. 21092). As requested, we considered the opinions offered in your letter dated 1 August 1994, and do not find any substantial evidence of significant effect on the environment sufficient to require the preparation of an EIR for the bridge project. The Initial Study for the Johnston Road Bridge project shows that no significant effect on the environment will result from the bridge replacement. The project is anticipated to be scheduled before the County Board of Supervisors for approval on 13 September 1994, at which time a request may be made to speak regarding the project If you have any questions or need further information, please contact me at (510) 313-2296.
