Mariachi Monumental Founded in 2005 under the leadership of Victorio Fregoso, Mariachi Monumental is a group of eight musicians originally from the state of Jalisco, Mexico. They are residents of Oakley, Brentwood, Bay Point and Antioch. This group brings the culture and sound of their Mexican roots by performing traditional mariachi music at private and public venues. Contra County County Youth Hall of Fame 2018 Honorees Good Samaritan: Mackinsey (Kinsey) Mascali – 12th grade, San Ramon Valley High School, San Ramon Kinsey’s desire to care for others started at seven years old when she and her sister started Packs with Love, a program to help students in the West County School District that can’t afford backpacks or school supplies. They started with 50 backpacks and now give out more than 800 backpacks to those in need. She also hosts Halloween and Easter parties for kids at a local homeless shelter. In her sophomore year, Kinsey started working as a teacher’s aide helping students with special needs. Wanting to make more of an impact, she taught herself Braille and took a class in sign language to better communicate with low spectrum students. Kinsey has not been without struggles of her own. When she transferred to San Ramon Valley High School, she had undiagnosed dyslexia and struggled in her studies. Once assessed, she learned strategies that have helped her to succeed. Volunteerism: Ryan Saechao – 10th grade, Richmond High School, Richmond Ryan Saechao spends many hours volunteering in his community. As the vice president of the Kiwins Club at his school, a student-led club dedicated to service and volunteerism, he has organized and participated in events including, feeding the homeless at a local shelter, building bikes for underprivileged kids, fundraising for medical bills for babies in intensive care, cheering on racers in breast cancer runs and facilitating free pictures with Santa Claus at the mall. He still finds time to serve as the manager of the girls’ basketball team, as well as a school board student panelist, advocating for better salaries and housing for teachers. He is a sharp math student and is frequently observed assisting his classmates and explaining complex concepts. Ryan is also a talented illustrator and performer. He can dance, sing and act and is clearly more than a just a triple threat. Teamwork: Cei-Lai Fong – 12th grade, San Ramon Valley High, San Ramon Cei-Lai Fong has used her self-awareness and compassion to expand consciousness about the LGBTQ community at her high school. She is an active member of the District Equality Committee and a Fair Act Consultant. She has helped to expand the Gay Straight Alliance into the Gender Sexuality Alliance which now includes more than 100 students. Having experienced bullying when she was 11, she is using her platforms to advocate for the installation of gender neutral bathrooms as part of a campus remodel. In a courageous TEDx talk describing her experiences, Cei-Lai says, “I am unafraid to express myself and to use my own comfort in my identity to help others.” She plans to continue her role of inspiring and championing others by studying political science or pre-law in college. She has a rigorous academic load, is involved in 4-H, water sports, and the jazz ensemble and as a highly respected member of the school community was crowned Homecoming Queen, helping to change the conversation about beauty and popularity. Honorees continued on next page... Youth Hall of Fame, 2018 Honorees Creativity: Evan Chen – 11th grade, Campolindo High School, Moraga In 2016, Evan Chen approached staff at the Lafayette Library hoping to teach classes about computer programming. Though he was only a freshman, they were impressed with his professional proposal and his first class in SCRATCH computer language programming was launched soon after. Evan quickly expanded the subject matter and difficulty of his classes which drew participation from all over the East Bay. He also expanded geographically, offering his classes at the San Pablo Library, lending his time, passion and experience to teaching underrepresented students. By imparting his knowledge and dedication for programming and technology to communities, Evan has given his peers the tools to expand their skills and think independently and creatively. Perseverance: Ashley Koehler – 7th grade, Antioch Middle School, Antioch When Ashley started at her middle school, as a seventh grader, she had recently been placed into foster care. Despite a rough start, her resilience paid off and she developed a solid group of friends and became an honor roll student. Ashley has become a leader in her counseling group, touching base with new foster students as they arrive at school and inviting them to join the group. She actively helps her counselor come up with activities for the group that deal with expressing anger, anxiety, building trust, and college and career readiness. Having endured difficult circumstances with such maturity and strength, Ashley clearly has the wherewithal to achieve her dream of becoming a child psychologist and helping children survive similar experiences.

FISCAL IMPACT: The construction contract and associated fees of this project will be funded by Local Road Funds (100%). Federal Highway Bridge Program Funds may later become available to reimburse the Road Funds up to 88.53% of participating costs. BACKGROUND: The above project was previously approved by the Board of Supervisors, plans and specifications were filed with the Board, and bids were invited by the Public Works Director. On March 13, 2018, the Public Works Department received bids from the following contractors: BIDDER, TOTAL AMOUNT, BOND AMOUNTS Bridgeway Civil Constructors, Inc., $4,560,410.00; Payment: $4,560,410.00; Performance: $4,560,410.00 Gordon N.

The Public Works Director reports that the lowest monetary bidder, Bridgeway, attained DBE participation of 13.73% to meet the DBE goal (12.00%) and requirements for this project. The Public Works Director recommends that the Board determine that Bridgeway has complied with the DBE requirements for this project and recommends that the construction contract be awarded to Bridgeway. The Public Works Director recommends that the bid submitted by Bridgeway is the lowest responsive and responsible bid, and this Board concurs and so finds. The Board of Supervisors previously adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation and Monitoring Reporting Program on May 24, 2016 in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and a Notice of Determination was filed with the County Clerk on May 24, 2016.

The road is a public road and experiences approximately 6,000 vehicle trips per day. The road is part of the County’s unincorporated road network that the County is responsible for maintaining and receives gas tax funding to do so.

Balbas, Public Works Director/Chief Engineer Date:March 27, 2018 Contra Costa County Subject:ADOPT Resolution of Initiation ordering the preparation of an Engineer’s Report for Countywide Landscaping District AD 1979-3 for Fiscal Year 2018-19 BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) benefit zones. The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that an annual Engineer’s Report be prepared each fiscal year to identify any changes in the improvements and to set the ensuing assessment rates. The Fiscal Year 2018-19 assessments will be calculated by considering all anticipated expenditures for operation, maintenance, utilities, administration, and capital replacement costs of such facilities. If excess revenue from a benefit zone is available from the previous fiscal year, it will be credited against the proposed expenses for that benefit zone. The assessment rates may or may not change from fiscal year to fiscal year, dependent upon projected costs to maintain the facilities within each benefit zone. However, the assessment rates cannot exceed the maximum amount set when the benefit zone was originally formed, plus an annual cost of living adjustment, if a Cost Price Index (CPI) was established when the benefits zone was originally formed. In accordance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, the assessment amounts proposed to be levied for the Fiscal Year 2018-2019 tax year, will be shown in the Preliminary and Final Engineer’s Reports, which will be filed with the Board of Supervisors in May and June 2018, respectively. The June 2018 Board meeting will be a noticed public hearing to confirm the Fiscal Year 2018-19 assessment rates. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Without Board of Supervisors’ approval there would be no initiation of the process to prepare the Engineer’s Report and to assess levies for the Countywide Landscape District AD 1979-3 (LL-2) for Fiscal Year 2018-2019, and thus funds would not be available to maintain the landscaping and other improvements in the benefit zones throughout the County.

(Project No. 7562-6D8490) RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D) > 6. DIRECT the Director of Conservation and Development to file a Notice of Determination with the County Clerk. 7. SPECIFY that the Chief Engineer is the custodian of the documents and other material that constitute the record of proceedings upon which the Board’s decision is based and that the record of proceedings is located at 255 Glacier Drive, Martinez, CA. 8. AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, or designee, to arrange for payment of $2,280.75 for California Department of Fish and Wildlife fees, a $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing the Notice of Determination, and a $25 fee to the Department of Conservation and Development for processing. FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated total cost of the Three Creeks Restoration Project, including planning, engineering, construction and project management, is $2,738,954. The Flood Control District (“District”) will have a $25,000 share of the total cost, in the form of staff’s environmental review services, to be funded by Flood Control Drainage Area 130 funds. The California Department of Water Resources (“DWR”) is providing $744,404 in grant funding, and American Rivers, Inc. (“American Rivers”), is providing $1,969,550. Payment of the required $2,355.75 in fees will also be funded by Flood Control Drainage Area 130 funds. BACKGROUND: The Project Marsh Creek flows 30 miles from the eastern slope of Mt. Diablo through the communities of Brentwood and Oakley and into the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, which serves as the water supply for more than 20 million people. Marsh Creek provides habitat for numerous endangered and declining aquatic species, such as Delta smelt, Sacramento splittail, Chinook salmon, red-legged frog and western pond turtle. Several years ago, American Rivers, a nonprofit corporation that works to restore rivers and critical wildlife habitat, approached the District to propose a project to restore a segment of Marsh Creek, with the bulk of funding to be provided by public and private grants. In 2014, American Rivers and the District jointly applied for a grant from DWR for the project. The DWR grant was awarded, on August 16, 2016, the District and American Rivers jointly entered into an agreement with DWR (“Grant Agreement”), in which DWR agreed to provide a $744,404 grant to improve habitat along a 1,400-foot reach of Marsh Creek from the Union Pacific Railroad to the confluence with Sand Creek (the “Lower Reach”). The proposed improvements to the Lower Reach would involve widening the existing creek channel to allow for the planting of native vegetation along the creek corridor. This project is known as the “Three Creeks Restoration Project.” The obligations of the District and American Rivers under the Grant Agreement were expressly conditioned upon the District’s completion of the environmental review and Board approval of the project. The location and timing of the Three Creeks Restoration Project provided a unique opportunity for the District to integrate a separate, long-planned channel widening project upstream of Sand Creek. Shortly after execution of the Grant Agreement, District staff and American Rivers began discussing whether the Three Creeks Restoration Project could be combined with the channel widening project. Discussions led to planning and the design of channel improvements in segments upstream from the Lower Reach, including a segment from Sand Creek to Deer Creek (the “Middle Reach”) and from Deer Creek to Dainty Avenue (the “Upper Reach”). The Three Creeks Restoration Project and the proposed improvements in the Middle Reach and Upper Reach have become known collectively as the Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project (“Project” hereafter). In all, the Project would include the widening and planting of approximately 4,000 feet of Marsh Creek from the Union Pacific Railroad to Dainty Avenue, and improvement of stormwater conveyance capacity in the Middle Reach and Upper Reach. It has been proposed that American Rivers would pay a share of the costs through grants from public agencies and private entities, and that the District would pay a share of the costs with Drainage Area 130 funds. The scope of the Project may need to be limited in order to not exceed the available funds. It has also been proposed that District would complete the civil/earth work within the District’s channel, while American Rivers would complete and landscaping part of the Project and provide for three years of maintenance. Environmental Review The Project was reviewed under the California Environmental Quality Act and an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared. On September 27, 2016, the Board considered and adopted the IS/MND and a Mitigation and Monitoring Program for the Project. Subsequently, District and American Rivers staff proposed several changes to the Project, which necessitated the preparation of an addendum to the approved IS/MND. As described in Addendum No. 1, the changes include: 1) the incorporation of an adjacent water quality basin and related access improvements within the City of Brentwood Sungold Park; 2) the use of an adjoining parcel as a potential staging area and to place excavated materials; 3) the construction of a pedestrian bridge across Marsh Creek; and 4) the use of temporary creek crossings during construction. As discussed in Addendum No. 1, no new significant impacts or impacts of substantially greater severity would result from the construction and operation of the updated Project, and there have been no changes in circumstances in the Project area that would result in new significant environmental impacts or substantially more severe impacts. Additionally, no new information has come to light that would indicate the potential for new significant impacts or substantially more severe impacts than were analyzed in the September 27, 2016 IS/MND. Agreement with American Rivers Although significant progress has been made in the planning and design of the Project, American Rivers has not yet secured sufficient funding for its share of the cost. For this reason, American Rivers and the District are not prepared at this time enter into an agreement that outlines their respective cost shares and responsibilities for Project work. However, American Rivers and the District can proceed with an agreement that spells out their respective obligations under the Grant Agreement as to the work in the Lower Reach component of the Project. The attached Agreement Between Contra Costa County Flood Control & Water Conservation District and American Rivers, Inc., for the Three Creeks Restoration Project (“Agreement”), which has been executed by American Rivers and is presented for Board approval today, sets forth that American Rivers will be responsible for funding and implementing the Three Creeks Restoration Project, except for a $25,000 cost share provided by the District to contribute toward the environmental review process. Under the Agreement, American Rivers would be responsible for preparing construction documents, including plans and specifications, constructing all civil/earth work improvements and performing all of the landscaping and planting work, for the Lower Reach Project. The proposed agreement also includes insurance, bonding and indemnification requirements that protect the District, and mutual indemnity obligations that protect each party from liabilities caused by the actions of the other party. District staff anticipates that if negotiations in the coming months are successful, a new agreement will be prepared to outline responsibilities of the District and American Rivers in all three reaches of the Project. A new agreement may negate the need for, and supersede, this Agreement. Project Approval Notwithstanding ongoing negotiations regarding the Project, the completion of the environmental review of the Project, coupled with approval of the Agreement, provide the Board with an opportunity to approve the Project. Approval of the Project includes approval of the Three Creeks Restoration Project component of the Project. The Project approval triggers the obligations of both the District and American Rivers under the Grant Agreement, but does not commit either party to proceed with other components of the Project. Project approval is recommended at this time because of conditions imposed by the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Conservancy, which has approved a grant to American Rivers for the Project. District staff have been advised that unless the Project is approved, and a Notice of Determination filed, before the end of March, that grant funding may be lost. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If the Agreement and Project are not approved, grant funding for the Three Creeks Restoration Project will be lost and the Project will not be implemented. AGENDA ATTACHMENTS Agreement for the THree Creeks Restoration Project Addendum No. 1 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Projection Mitigated Negative Declaration, Dec 2017 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Projection Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, Sept 2016 MINUTES ATTACHMENTS Revised Agreement for Three Creeks Restoration Project Page 1 of 15 AGREEMENT BETWEEN CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL & WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT AND AMERICAN RIVERS, INC., FOR THE THREE CREEKS PARKWAY RESTORATION PROJECT This Agreement Between Contra Costa County Flood Control & Water Conservation District and American Rivers, Inc., For The Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project (“Agreement”) is entered into on ____________________, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), by the Contra Costa County Flood Control & Water Conservation District, a body corporate and politic created under laws of the State of California (“District”), and American Rivers, Inc., a non-profit corporation organized and existing under laws of the District of Columbia (“American Rivers”). The parties hereto may be referred to collectively as the “Parties” or individually as a “Party.” RECITALS A. American Rivers is a non-profit corporation headquartered in the District of Columbia whose purpose is the restoration of rivers and critical wildlife habitat. B. District, created by the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Act (West’s Wat. Code Appen., § 63-1 et seq.) (“the Act), is the owner of portions of Marsh Creek, a watercourse that runs 30 miles from the eastern slope of Mt. Diablo to the San Joaquin Delta, including the portions of Marsh Creek referenced herein. C. District has legal authority to enter into this Agreement under Section 5(b) of the Act. (West’s Water Code Appen., § 63-5.) D. On or about August 16, 2016, District, American Rivers and the Department of Water Resources of the State of California (“DWR”) entered into Grant Agreement No. 4600011176 (“Grant Agreement”), in which DWR agreed to provide a grant in an amount not to exceed $744,404 to fund a portion of an estimated $2,738,954 in costs associated with the “Three Creeks Restoration Project” (hereafter “Grant Project”). American Rivers is the sponsor of the Grant Project, and District is the co-sponsor. American Rivers and District are collectively referred to in the Grant Agreement as the “Grantee.” E. The Grant Project generally involves the planning, design, environmental review, excavation, and planting of a segment of the Marsh Creek channel in the Brentwood area, along with associated project and construction management activities, community involvement, monitoring and maintenance. The channel segment in question begins at the Union Pacific Railroad crossing over Marsh Creek and ends at the Marsh Creek confluence with Sand Creek, and will be referred to as the “Lower Reach.” As set forth Page 2 of 15 in the Grant Agreement, construction would involve the removal of approximately 12,000 cubic yards of earth along 1,400 linear feet of the east bank of the creek, creating approximately one acre of new floodplain surfaces up to 40 feet in width. The new floodplains and east bank of the channel segment would then be planted with native riparian vegetation. Thereafter, the new vegetation would be monitored and maintained under a plan to be developed and agreed upon by the Parties. F. The Grant Project is one of two projects in which the District is involved concerning Marsh Creek. The other is a project to increase stormwater conveyance capacity by widening the Marsh Creek channel upstream of the creek segment described in Recital E. In 2000, District completed the first phase of what, at that time, was a two-phase project to widen the channel from its confluence with Deer Creek to Summer Circle. The first phase segment began at Dainty Avenue and ended at Summer Circle. The second phase segment is to begin at the Deer Creek confluence and end at Dainty Avenue. This segment will be referred to as the “Upper Reach.” G. District and American Rivers now propose to link the channel widening project with the Grant Project. This would involve, first, adding a third creek segment to the widening project, beginning at the terminus of the Grant Project segment – the Sand Creek confluence – and ending at the Deer Creek confluence. This segment will be referred to as the “Middle Reach.” The originally planned 15 feet of widening would then be expanded to approximately 30 feet to accommodate the planting of native riparian vegetation. H. Under the revised proposal, in the Middle Reach, approximately 2,500 cubic yards of earth would be excavated along 800 linear feet of creek bank, creating floodplains up to 15 feet in width. Similar to the Grant Project, native riparian plantings would be planted and established. Other work and improvements are also proposed for the Middle Reach, including (1) the relocation of the Marsh Creek trail; (2) acquisition of fee title to an approximately one-half acre portion of a 10.2 acre parcel on the west side of Marsh Creek, between Sand Creek and Deer Creek, formerly known as the “Griffith Parcel” and now commonly known as the “Hancock Parcel” (APN 017-110-011), which is needed for the widening of this creek segment; acquisition of land rights to use other undeveloped portions of the Hancock Parcel as a as a staging area and for placement of excavated material; and (3) construction of a clear-span pedestrian bridge. The work and improvements described in this Recital will be collectively referred to as the “Middle Reach Work.” Similar to the Grant Project, the plantings in the Middle Reach would be monitored and maintained under a plan to be agreed upon by the Parties. I. In the Upper Reach, the revised proposal calls for approximately 10,500 cubic yards of earth to be excavated along 1600 linear feet of creek bank, creating floodplains up to 15 feet in width, and native riparian plantings would be planted, established, monitored and maintained in accordance with an agreed-upon plan. Other work and improvements in the Upper Reach include (1) construction of a retaining wall on the west bank at Central Page 3 of 15 Avenue and (2) relocation of the Marsh Creek trail. The work and improvements described in this Recital will be collectively referred to as the “Upper Reach Work.” Similar to the Grant Project, the plantings in the Upper Reach would be monitored and maintained under a plan to be agreed upon by the Parties. J. The planning, design, environmental review and construction of the Middle Reach Work and the Upper Reach Work, and the associated monitoring and maintenance, will be referred to as the “Marsh Creek Widening Project.” K. District and American Rivers also propose to revise the improvements planned for the Lower Reach from what is described in the Grant Agreement. Under this proposal, approximately 4,655 cubic yards of earth would be excavated along 1600 linear feet of the east bank of the channel and approximately 8,065 cubic yards would be excavated to incorporate an existing water quality basin into the Project. Additional improvements would include a new unpaved foot-trail within the new floodplain, and improvements to the City of Brentwood’s Sungold Park, including a trail, landscaping and a creek overlook area. The modifications described in this Recital will be referred to as the “Lower Reach Work Modifications.” L. The Grant Project, Marsh Creek Widening Project and Lower Reach Work Modifications are collectively known as the “Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project” and will be referred to in this Agreement as the “Project.” M. The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the respective obligations of the Parties that would become effective upon the District’s approval of the Project. NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, the Parties agree as follows. AGREEMENT 1. Term.

Nor shall District be estopped by any such acts from bringing any action for damages arising from the failure to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 13. Costs. a. American Rivers’ Responsibility. Except for costs for which District is responsible as set forth in Section 13.b., American Rivers will be responsible for, and pay when due, all costs of the Project (“Project Costs”). Project Costs include, without limitation, any and all costs incurred by American Rivers and District, either prior to or after the Effective Date, in the planning, coordination, design, environmental review and mitigation, permitting, construction, monitoring and maintenance activities and acquisitions associated with the Project. b. District’s Responsibility. (1) Environmental Review Costs. District is responsible for a total of 50 percent of the environmental review costs related to the Project. Of this amount, $25,000 will be allocated to the Grant Project, in accordance with the Grant Agreement. American Rivers is responsible for the remaining share of the environmental review costs. (2) Acquisition Costs. District will be responsible for 50 percent of the cost of acquisition of the Hancock Property. All other costs of acquisition of the Hancock Property, and all other costs of acquisition of the land rights referenced in Sections 6.b. and 6.c., will be the responsibility of American Rivers. (3) Permitting Costs. District will be responsible for 50 percent of the cost of all permits obtained by District for the Project. American Rivers will be responsible for the remaining share. Page 11 of 15 (4) Civil/Earth Work Costs. (a) District will pay, when due, all costs owed to persons who contract with the District to perform Civil/Earth Work or Additional Civil/Earth Work on the Project. (b) District is responsible for a share of the cost of completion of the Civil/Earth Work within the Middle Reach and Upper Reach of the Project (“District Civil/Earth Work Cost Share”). American Rivers will be responsible for the remaining share. American Rivers will also be responsible for the entire cost of completion of Civil/Earth Work within the Lower Reach. District’s share will be calculated as follows: (i) During construction of the Civil/Earth Work in the Middle Reach and Upper Reach, the District Civil/Earth Work Cost Share will be calculated based on assigned percentages for each item of work performed, as set forth in Exhibit C, attached hereto and incorporated by reference. Assigned percentages have been determined based on estimated work quantities and an agreed-upon analysis of the Party’s proportional shares of the Middle Reach Work and Upper Reach Work. (ii) After the Parties have agreed that the Civil/Earth Work in the Middle Reach and Upper Reach is complete, District will recalculate the percentages shown in Exhibit C, using actual quantities instead of estimated quantities, and then use those percentages to calculate District’s adjusted share of the actual Civil Earth/Work costs incurred in the Middle Reach and Upper Reach (“Adjusted District Civil/Earth Work Cost Share”). If the Adjusted District Civil/Earth Work Cost Share is more than the sum of Civil/Earth Work costs related to the Middle Reach and Upper Reach that have been previously reimbursed to District, American Rivers will promptly pay the difference to District. If the Adjusted District Civil/Earth Work Cost Share is less than the sum of Civil/Earth Work costs related to the Middle Reach and Upper Reach that have been previously reimbursed to District, District will promptly pay the difference to American Rivers. (c) District will be responsible for the share of the cost of completion of Additional Civil/Earth Work that the Parties agree in advance in writing that the District should pay. American Rivers will be responsible for the remaining share. The procedure set forth in Section 13.b.(4)(b)(ii) does not apply to Additional Civil/Earth Work costs. (5) Project Management Costs. District will be responsible for 100 percent of its project management costs related to Civil/Earth Work in the Middle Reach and Upper Reach. (6) Construction Management Costs. District will be responsible 34.7 percent of its construction management costs related to Civil/Earth Work in the Middle Reach and Upper Reach. American Rivers will be responsible for the remainder of District’s construction management costs. Page 12 of 15 (7) Design Engineering Costs. District will be responsible for 29.4 percent of the cost of design engineering incurred by American Rivers that pertain to the Middle Reach and Upper Reach. American Rivers will be responsible for the remainder of its design engineering costs. 14. Reimbursements. a. Reimbursements to District. All Project Costs incurred by District, other than Project Costs for which District is responsible under Section 13.b., are reimbursable to District (“Reimbursable Costs”). District will provide American Rivers with quarterly invoices that set forth District’s Reimbursable Costs. District’s invoices will be a format acceptable to American Rivers, and include such detail that American Rivers requests to substantiate its requests to DWR and other entities for grant disbursements. Prior to any work on the Project, American Rivers will provide District with a written explanation of the required invoice details and format. Within 60 days of receipt of an itemized invoice from District that identifies Reimbursable Costs, American Rivers will remit payment in full to District. American Rivers’ obligation to reimburse District exists without regard to the status of requests by American Rivers to DWR or any other entities for grant disbursements or other monies to pay for these costs. In the event that American Rivers disputes a District invoice, the Parties agree to work together cooperatively to resolve the dispute and, if necessary, utilize alternative dispute resolution processes before seeking judicial intervention. b. Reimbursements to American Rivers. (1) American Rivers will provide District with an invoice for District’s share of American Rivers’ design engineering costs described in 13.b.(6). District will pay the invoice by deducting the balance due from one or more invoices to be provided by District to American Rivers under Section 14.a. (2) If the environmental review costs incurred by American Rivers exceed its 50 percent share as described in Section 13.b.(1), American Rivers will provide District with an invoice for the difference, together with an accounting of all Project environmental review costs incurred by the Paries. District will pay the invoice by deducting the balance due from one or more invoices to be provided by District to American Rivers under Section 14.a. 15. Completion Deadline. Time is of the essence. American Rivers shall complete the Landscaping Work in accordance with the approved schedule under the Grant Agreement and in no event later than March 1, 2022. If American Rivers fails to complete the Landscaping Work by that date, and the Parties have not agreed in writing to an extension, District may proceed to complete the Landscaping Work, and in that event, American Rivers shall pay all costs of completing the Landscaping Work.

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Resources Code, Section 21000, et seq.) requires local governments to conduct environmental review on public and private development projects. On September 27, 2016, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors adopted an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project (“2016 IS/MND”) (State Clearinghouse No. 2016082008) (on file with the District) on the basis of an Initial Study that was prepared and circulated for 30 days, pursuant to Section 15063 of the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, California Code of Regulations, Sections 15000 et seq.). The project evaluated included proposed improvements to an approximately 4,000 linear foot section of Marsh Creek for flood conveyance capacity by widening the channel with a floodplain and floodplain benches and restoration of native vegetation of the creek banks and floodplain (“original project”). While the IS/MND was adopted by the County Board of Supervisors, the proposed project was not approved at that time. Since then, there have been a few additions to the original project design. These include: (1) the incorporation of an existing water quality basin adjacent to the lower reach of Marsh Creek and improvements to the adjacent City of Brentwood Sungold Park, (2) the use of an adjoining parcel adjacent to the middle reach as a staging area and to place excavated materials, (3) the construction of a clear-span pedestrian bridge, and (4) the use of temporary creek crossings during construction (“updated project”). These proposed additions include a total of approximately 13.45 acres on three parcels that abut the original project area for the evaluation of the updated project. 2.0 PURPOSE OF ADDENDUM The purpose of this Addendum is to analyze potential impacts that may result from the proposed additions to the original project and to document that the 2016 IS/MND for the original project adequately addresses the potential environmental impacts of the updated project pursuant to CEQA (Pub. Resources Code, Section 21000, et seq.), and that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is required. Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 2 Addendum No. 1 and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(b) states that an addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a) provides guidance in this matter and states that “when an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following: (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following: (A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration; (B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 3 Addendum No. 1 and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.” CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(d) provides that the decision-making body shall consider the addendum in conjunction with the adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project. Based on the analysis in this Addendum No. 1, the District concludes that the updated project would not result in any new significant adverse impacts, nor an increase in the severity of significant impacts previously identified in the 2016 IS/MND for the original project. Nor would the updated project require the adoption of any new or considerably different mitigation measures or alternatives. Therefore, this Addendum No. 1 is the appropriate form of environmental review required under CEQA and has been prepared to satisfy the requirements of CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164. 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Summary of the Original Project The original project is a multi-benefit flood control and creek restoration project to improve flood conveyance capacity and restore native vegetation along an approximately 4,000 linear foot section of Marsh Creek which includes widening the channel with a floodplain and floodplain benches and planting with native vegetation. When implementation is complete, the project would include up to 1.0 acre of frequently inundated floodplain (seasonal wetland), 1.87 acres of woody riparian vegetation, and 1.87 acres of grasslands and native scrub. The project would also enhance habitat and recreation within the watershed. 3.2 Proposed Additions to the Original Project The District and American Rivers propose to update the original project to incorporate an existing water quality basin and make improvements to the adjacent City of Brentwood Sungold Park, use an adjoining parcel as a staging area and to place excavated materials, construct a clear-span pedestrian bridge across Marsh Creek, and to use temporary creek crossings during construction (Figure 1). As detailed in Table 1, the amount of excavation has slightly decreased since the original project due to changes in assumptions regarding how wide the channel could be excavated and project refinements as the design advanced. In addition, with regard to the proposed project Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 4 Addendum No. 1 and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 additions, about 5,000 cubic yards of material would be excavated to incorporate the water quality basin. Thus, an increase of 2,000 cubic yards would be excavated as compared to the original project. A total of approximately 26,000 cubic yards of excavated materials would be placed on the Griffith parcel under the updated project.

(1) Lower Reach - Incorporation of Water Quality Basin There is an existing 0.7-acre linear water quality/detention basin (Assessor Parcel 017-670-040) located between Carmel Estates/Sungold Park and Marsh Creek to detain runoff from the Carmel Estates residential development for treatment before discharge into Marsh Creek (Figure 2). The detention basin is enclosed on all sides by a fence. This basin would be incorporated into the project by adding native vegetation including trees and shrubs, creating a creekside mulch path, removing the fences, and lowering the eastern berm of the basin and western bank of the creek (Figure 2A). This would allow flood waters from the creek to spill into the basin as needed. The western fence may be reinstalled along the western length of the basin. In addition, a new trail, which would also serve as a District maintenance access road, would be added to the adjacent City of Brentwood Sungold Park (017-670-039, 017-450-065). Other improvements, such as landscaping and a creek overlook with seating and an interpretive area, would be added to showcase the environmental benefits of the project (Figure 2A). The total area of improvements would be approximately 3.25 acres. (2) Middle Reach – Staging Area and Excavated Material Placement on the Griffith Parcel The Griffith parcel (also known as DLT Ventures or the Hancock parcel) is a 10.2 acre undeveloped property located between Sand and Deer Creeks adjacent to the west side of the middle reach of Marsh Creek (017-110-011) (Figure 3). The Griffith parcel is bounded on the north, south, and east by channelized creek and to the west by private residential property. These lands are strictly uplands and are located above the top of bank of all three creeks. The vacant Griffith parcel would be used as a staging area and the placement of excavated material (26,000 cubic yards) for the updated project. The excavated material would be spread across the parcel to elevate the ground surface (Figure 3A). Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 7 Addendum No. 1 and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 (3) Middle Reach – Pedestrian Bridge The updated project anticipates the pedestrian bridge would be installed just upstream of Marsh Creek’s confluence with Sand Creek near the northeastern corner of the Griffith parcel (Figure 3). It is anticipated that the bridge would be 10 feet wide and approximately 100 feet long and would clear-span the creek (there would be no footings in the creek). (4) Temporary Creek Crossings The updated project anticipates up to six temporary creek crossings to facilitate construction access between the excavation areas on the east side of Marsh Creek and the Griffith parcel on the west side of Marsh Creek. Temporary creek crossings are proposed across Marsh Creek near the water quality basin in the lower reach, and across Sand, Marsh and Deer creeks to the Griffith parcel on the west bank (Figure 1). While Figure 1 shows four crossings locations, the actual number, locations, and design will be determined by the project contractor. The creek crossings would be installed by placing a temporary culvert in the channel and then placing fill (i.e., clean gravel) that is wrapped in geotextile fabric over the culvert. The fabric would keep the fill separated from the creek environment and would make the removal clean and quick, as the fill would be kept separate from the creek bed materials. The fill material utilized would be free of silt or other contaminants. Each culvert could be up to 60 feet in length. Total area of each crossing would be approximately 2,500 square feet and each crossing would require approximately 600 cubic yards of fill material. The culverts would extend below the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) but fill would be expected to remain mostly above. The creek crossings would be in place only during the grading operations. Upon completion of grading, the earthen fill, fabric, and pipe would be removed and the original channel conditions restored. As explained further in Section 4.2 below, any surface flows in these channels at the time of installation would be uninterrupted and Best Management Practices (BMPs) would be in place to ensure there is no release of sediment downstream. However, at least one creek crossing is proposed to remain in place through restoration planting to connect the Griffith parcel on the west side of Marsh Creek with the east side of the creek. The proposed additions would not affect the duration of project construction; as with the original project, the updated project would still be constructed over a period of approximately two months during the dry season (between April and October) when creek flows are low and the chance of precipitation is low. Plant restoration would occur afterwards (i.e., November to February).

An examination of the proposed additions shows that the updated project would have the potential to affect the previous analysis for six of the 17 resource topics. Those six topics include air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, and noise. These six resource topics are examined further in detail in this Addendum. For the remaining 11 resource topics (aesthetics, agriculture and forestry resources, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology/water quality, land use/planning, mineral resources, population/housing, public services, recreation, transportation/traffic, utilities/service systems), a brief explanation is provided below as to why they do not need to be examined in detail. Aesthetics Incorporation of the water quality basin, improvements to the adjacent City of Brentwood Sungold Park, and construction of the pedestrian bridge would not degrade the character of the project area but instead would enhance the aesthetic quality of the area. As the Griffith parcel is currently fallow and undeveloped, placing fill onto the parcel would not cause any significant visual changes. The proposed temporary creek crossings would be in place only during construction and the original channel conditions would be restored after the work is completed. Therefore, the updated project would not result in new or more severe aesthetic impacts; no further discussion in the Addendum is required. Agriculture and Forestry Resources The Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) identifies the project site as Urban and Built-Up Land1 (California Department of Conservation 2014) and thus, as with the original project, the updated project would not result in the conversion of land designated either as Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance to non-agricultural 1 Land occupied by structures with a building density of at least 1 unit to 1.5 acres, or approximately 6 structures to a 10- acre parcel. This land is used for residential, industrial, commercial, construction, institutional, public administration, railroad and other transportation yards, cemeteries, airports, golf courses, sanitary landfills, sewage treatment, water control structures, and other developed purposes. Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 17 Addendum No. 1 and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 use. Therefore, the updated project would not result in new or more significant impacts on farmland; no further discussion in the Addendum is required. Hazards and Hazardous Materials According to an EnviroStor database search for known hazardous materials contamination, conducted on October 10, 2017, the project site is not located on a property associated with a hazardous site listed under Government Code Section 65962.5, also known as the Cortese List and thus as with the original project, the updated project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment associated with a hazardous site listed under Government Code Section 65962.5. Therefore the updated project would not result in new or more significant impacts related to hazardous materials; no further discussion in the Addendum is required. Hydrology/Water Quality Similar to the original project, the updated project would be constructed over a period of approximately two months during the dry season (between April and October) when creek flows are low and the chance of precipitation is low. The updated project would be subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements, and would be required to develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP would identify measures (or BMPs) to be implemented during construction activities to control erosion and release of sediment and other pollutants. The SWPPP would also ensure that construction activities would not cause an exceedance of the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board’s (RWQCB) water quality standards. The updated project would not increase the amount of impervious surfaces over what was analyzed in the 2016 IS/MND. Therefore, the updated project would not increase the volume of runoff. Additionally, incorporation of the existing water quality basin would improve the water quality of Marsh Creek. Thus, the updated project would not result in new or more significant impacts related to hydrology and water quality; no further discussion in the Addendum is required. Land Use and Planning According to the City of Brentwood General Plan Land Use Map (2014), Marsh Creek is mapped as a waterway, Sungold Park is designated as Park (P), and the Griffith parcel and the area containing the water quality basin are designated as Residential-Low Density (R-LD). The updated project would not change the existing or the designated land uses of the affected parcels. Placing excavated fill onto the Griffith parcel would be consistent with the intended land use of the parcel since it would be utilized for development of low density residential housing. Utilizing the vacant and developed Griffith parcel as a temporary staging area would Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 18 Addendum No. 1 and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 not result in adverse land use impacts. Thus, the updated project would not result in new or more significant land use impacts; no further discussion in the Addendum is required. Mineral Resources There are no known mineral resources on the additional lands of the updated project site. No mineral extraction occurs or is known to have occurred on the updated project site. Therefore, the updated project would not result in new or more severe impacts related to mineral resources; no further discussion in the Addendum is required. Population/Housing, Public Services, Recreation, Transportation/Traffic, Utilities/Service Systems Incorporation of the water quality basin and the other proposed additions to the original project would not increase the area population and thus would not result in an increased demand for parks, public services, utilities, or energy resources nor result in increased traffic. The use of the Griffith parcel for a staging area and placement of excavated materials would, in fact, reduce vehicle trips during construction that would have resulted from traveling to a further staging area or off-hauling of excavated materials under the original project. Thus, the updated project would not result in new or more significant impacts related to any of these resource areas; no further discussion in the Addendum is required. The impacts of the updated project as they relate to air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, and noise are examined further in detail below. 4.1 AIR QUALITY 4.1.1 Findings of the Adopted IS/MND The 2016 IS/MND concluded that with mitigation, the original project would not result in significant air quality impacts or conflict with existing or future air quality planning efforts as follows:  Construction emissions associated with excavation activities of approximately 24,000 cubic yards of material and associated off-haul trips for the original project were determined to be substantially below thresholds of significance for criteria pollutants. However, construction would result in significant short-term air quality impacts associated with particulate matter (dust). The 2016 IS/MND includes Mitigation Measure Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 19 Addendum No. 1 and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 AIR-1 to reduce impacts from dust generated by project construction to a less than significant level.  Due to the size and nature of the original project, the potential was low for community health risk and hazards from construction-phase emissions of toxic air contaminants (TACs). However, sensitive receptors such as residences and a daycare center are located less than 50 feet, therefore the impact from TACs could be potentially significant and Mitigation Measure AIR-2 was set forth to ensure the impact would be less than significant. The daycare center has since been closed down and is no longer operating at this site.  The impact from operational emissions of the original project would be less than significant as the land use would remain the same and minimal vehicle trips would be added related to monitoring and maintenance activities.  Construction and operation would not cause or be affected by odors with incorporation of Mitigation Measure AIR-1 and AIR-2.  Increases in temporary and long-term air pollutant emissions due to the original project would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any of the pollutants for which the project region is in nonattainment status for federal or state ambient air quality standards with incorporation of Mitigation Measure AIR-1 and AIR-2. 4.1.2 Impact Analysis of Updated Project The updated project would result in excavation of approximately 26,000 cubic yards of material, 2,000 cubic yards more than the original project. The original project planned for off-hauling the excavated materials approximately 5 miles off-site to the Dutch Slough project site in Oakley, but instead would be placed onto the adjacent Griffith parcel for the updated project. Construction Phase Impacts As stated above, the 2016 IS/MND found that construction phase emissions of the original project would be substantially below thresholds of significance for criteria pollutants. Due to the size and nature of the proposed small pedestrian bridge and up to six temporary creek crossings as well as the placement of excavated materials on Griffith parcel, the incremental emissions from additional construction activities would not be substantial enough to increase the total criteria pollutant emissions such that they would exceed the thresholds of significance Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 20 Addendum No. 1 and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 for criteria pollutants. Additionally, the 2016 IS/MND analysis of construction emissions included emissions that would be generated from the hauling of excavated materials to a site 5 miles away. With the updated project, even though an additional 2,000 cubic yards of materials would be excavated, instead of being off-hauled, all of the excavated materials would be deposited onto the adjacent Griffith parcel. Thus, the incremental emissions from additional excavation and ground disturbance would be offset by the elimination of off-hauling trips. As with the original project, due to the scale and short duration of construction activities, there would be a low community health risk and hazard from construction-phase emissions of TACs associated with the updated project. However due to the proximity of sensitive receptors (residences) near the water quality basin and park improvement sites, Mitigation Measure AIR- 2 would be implemented to ensure the impact would be less than significant. In summary, the updated project would not substantially increase construction phase air quality impacts above what was analyzed in the 2016 IS/MND and the same mitigation measures would be implemented to ensure that the impact from the construction of the updated project would be less than significant. Operational Impacts Similar to the original project, the updated project would result in no change in land use and no significant permanent increase in vehicle trips. Therefore, similar to the conclusions of the 2016 IS/MND, operational emissions associated with the updated project would not change substantially from existing conditions, and would not exceed the applicable BAAQMD thresholds of significance for operational emissions. The impact from air pollutant emissions during operation would be less than significant. Finding: The potential impacts of the updated project related to air quality would be similar to those analyzed in the 2016 IS/MND and no new or substantially increased substantially significant impacts would result. Thus, similar to the original project, the updated project would implement the mitigation measures for the original project to ensure construction-related impacts are reduced to a less-than-significant level. No new mitigation is required. Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 21 Addendum No. 1 and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 4.2 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 4.2.1 Findings of the Adopted IS/MND The 2016 IS/MND concluded that with mitigation, the original project impacts would result in less-than-significant impacts on biological resources as follows:  No special-status plant species are expected to occur on the project site due to the level of disturbance, the types of soils, lack of suitable habitat or substrate, and geographic isolation from known populations, and therefore, the impact was found to be less than significant.  The potential exists for nine special-status wildlife species to occur on the project site and numerous other bird species that are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and California Fish and Game Code (CFGC) to be present – silvery legless lizard, California red-legged frog, Pacific (western) pond turtle, Chinook salmon, steelhead (Central Valley distinct population segment [DPS]), burrowing owl, white- tailed kite, loggerhead shrike, Swainson’s hawk, and many other migratory bird species . Implementation of Mitigation Measures BIO-1, BIO-2, and BIO-3 would reduce impacts to a less-than-significant level.  Impact on sensitive natural communities and riparian habitat would be less than significant.  Marsh Creek is expected to qualify as a water of the U.S. and a water of the State. Thus, impacts would result to jurisdictional waters and Mitigation Measure BIO-4 would be implemented to reduce the impact to less than significant.  Implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-2 would ensure that temporary impacts to wildlife movement would be less than significant.  Would not conflict with local policies, ordinances protecting biological resources, or provisions of an adopted HCP/NCCP. 4.2.2 Impact Analysis of Updated Project The updated project would have similar impacts as the original project. In August 2017, Wood Biological Consulting performed a site reconnaissance survey of the additional areas of disturbance for the updated project, including the water quality basin, the area where there Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 22 Addendum No. 1 and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 would be improvements to Sungold Park, and the Griffith parcel as summarized below. The survey report is on file with the District. Special-Status Plant Species The survey report concluded that there was potential of occurrence for two additional special- status plant species based on an updated search of the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB). Similar to the conclusions of the 2016 IS/MND, the survey report concluded that the presence of all special‐status plants can be ruled out due to a lack of suitable habitat or substrate, geographic isolation from known populations, or the fact that they would have been detectable during the survey performed. Therefore, as with the original project, the updated project would not result in an impact on special-status plant species. Special-Status Wildlife Species The survey report concluded that there was potential of occurrence for five additional special- status wildlife species based on an updated search of the CNDDB. Similar to the conclusions of the 2016 IS/MND, implementation of the updated project could affect four federally and/or state listed, candidate or fully protected wildlife species including California red‐legged frog, Central Valley steelhead, Swainson’s hawk, and white‐tailed kite, and five special‐status wildlife species, including burrowing owl, Chinook salmon, loggerhead shrike, Pacific pond turtle, and silvery legless lizard. Mitigation Measures BIO-1 through BIO-3 in the 2016 IS/MND would still apply to the updated project to reduce the impact to a less-than-significant level. Jurisdictional Waters As noted in the 2016 IS/MND, Marsh Creek is expected to qualify as a water of the U.S. and a water of the State and some of the modifications to Marsh Creek would affect jurisdictional waters. Mitigation Measure BIO-4 is set forth to minimize the impact. Incorporation of the water quality basin would not involve work in an area involving jurisdictional waters. The pedestrian bridge would not impact the creek below the OHWM and it is anticipated that jurisdictional waters would not be affected by the future bridge as it would be clear-span. Placement of excavated materials on the Griffith parcel and using the parcel as a staging area would also not affect jurisdictional waters. Work in the stream channel to install temporary creek crossings could still result in a potential significant impact to jurisdictional waters. Similar to the original project, Mitigation Measure BIO-4 would be implemented to ensure impacts to jurisdictional waters would be reduced to a less-than-significant level. Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 23 Addendum No. 1 and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 Wildlife Corridors The 2016 IS/MND evaluated the potential for the original project to affect wildlife movement, including the potential effects of work in the creek channel on fish movement. The culverts for the proposed temporary land bridges would be positioned in the active channel. However, to maintain channel flows, similar to the original project, Mitigation Measure BIO-4 will be implemented which requires construction in the active channels to be restricted to the dry season (April 15 through October 15). Thus, the culverts for the temporary creek crossings would be installed during the dry season when there are no or low flows and the impact on migratory fish would be less than significant. Furthermore, Mitigation Measure BIO-4 requires all work within the stream channel to be subject to BMPs, which would ensure there would be no release of sediment downstream. Other Biological Resources Due to the nature of the proposed project additions, the conclusions of the 2016 IS/MND would remain the same for the updated project in regards to sensitive natural communities, local policies or ordinances, and adopted HCP/NCCP. All impacts would be less than significant or less than significant with implementation of applicable mitigation measures found in the 2016 IS/MND. Finding: The potential impacts of the updated project on biological resources would be the same as those analyzed in the 2016 IS/MND. As with the original project, the mitigation measures listed in the 2016 IS/MND would be implemented to ensure impacts would be less than significant. Therefore, no new or substantially increased significant impacts would result from the updated project beyond those discussed in the 2016 IS/MND. No new mitigation is required. 4.3 CULTURAL RESOURCES, INCLUDING TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES 4.3.1 Findings of the Adopted IS/MND The 2016 IS/MND concluded that with mitigation, the original project would not result in significant impacts on cultural resources as follows:  The original project does not contain any historical resources.  With regard to archaeological resources, no recorded archaeological resources are known from the project area and there is no evidence of prehistoric, historic deposits, or Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 24 Addendum No. 1 and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 prehistoric cultural soils on the project site. However, the banks of Marsh Creek and areas immediately adjacent to Marsh Creek are considered sensitive for prehistoric archaeological deposits and human remains. Thus, Mitigation Measure CUL-1 was set forth to reduce the impacts to unknown historic and prehistoric archaeological resources and human remains to a less than-significant level.  Excavation on the project site could potentially unearth and inadvertently damage paleontological resources. Mitigation Measure CUL-2 was set forth to reduce the impact on paleontological resources to a less-than-significant level.  No known tribal cultural resources were identified through contacts with the Native American tribes identified by Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), and that with implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-1 and CUL-2, the original project would not affect any unknown tribal cultural resources in the area and therefore, the impact was less than significant. 4.3.2 Impact Analysis of Updated Project The updated project includes the addition of 13.45 acres of land that abut the original project footprint. William Self Associates (WSA) Staff Archaeologist Patrick Zingerella conducted a pedestrian archaeological examination of the additional areas affected by the updated project on August 28, 2017 (WSA 2017). The survey report is on file with the District. There are no structures on the additional project lands. Therefore, there is no potential for the updated project to affect historic resources. No prehistoric or historic deposits were observed and no evidence of prehistoric cultural soils (midden) was observed during the archaeological survey. Therefore, as with the original project, there would be no significant impacts on any known archaeological resources due to the updated project. However, there would still be a potential to encounter buried archaeological resources or human remains during excavation and grading and Mitigation Measure CUL-1 would apply to the updated project to avoid a significant impact on any resources that are encountered. The District will need to obtain a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and other applicable agencies for work within the creek. As part of the review process, the USACE consults with applicable federal agencies. In conjunction with consultation with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, the SHPO recommended to the USACE to prepare a monitoring and post- review discovery treatment plan consistent with 36 CFR 800.13(a). Mitigation Measure CUL-1 Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 25 Addendum No. 1 and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 required initial monitoring by a qualified archaeologist to determine an appropriate level of monitoring for the duration of the project. Since receiving the response from the SHPO requesting a monitoring and post-review discovery treatment plan, Mitigation Measure CUL-1 has been updated to be consistent with the direction provided by the SHPO. The updated Mitigation Measure CUL-1 is presented below with the new text added to the mitigation measure shown in double underline and deleted text shown in strikethrough. In addition, Mitigation Measure CUL-2 would apply to the updated project to avoid a significant impact on any paleontological resources that are encountered. Therefore, the updated project would not significantly impact any known or unknown cultural resources in the area, including tribal cultural resources, and there would be a less than significant impact. Updated Mitigation Measure CUL-1: To manage any discoveries during construction, all construction crew workers shall following the procedures detailed in the Monitoring and Post Review Discovery Treatment Plan for the Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project, Contra Costa County, California. This document includes provisions for crew training, determines an appropriate level of monitoring for the duration of the project, describes the identification of archaeological resources, and the protocols to follow in the case of accidental discoveries. Crew training, initial monitoring by a qualified archaeologist to determine an appropriate level of monitoring for the duration of the project, and additional spot checks pending the results of the initial monitoring shall be conducted prior to and during ground disturbing activities. A qualified archaeologist shall be present on the project site to monitor ground disturbing activities and inspect excavated soils to identify any cultural resources and human remains as deemed appropriate by the qualified archaeologist. All construction crew workers shall attend a training session led by a qualified archaeologist that discusses (1) the reasons for archaeological resource monitoring; (2) regulatory policies protecting resources and human remains; (3) basic identification of archaeological resources; and (4) the protocol to follow in case of a discovery of such resources. Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 26 Addendum No. 1 and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 In accordance with CEQA Guideline §15064.5 (f), should any previously unknown historic or prehistoric resources, including but not limited to charcoal, obsidian or chert flakes, grinding bowls, shell fragments, bone, pockets of dark, friable soils, glass, metal, ceramics, wood, privies, trash deposits or similar debris, be discovered during ground disturbing activities, work within 25 feet of these materials should be stopped until a qualified professional archaeologist has an opportunity to evaluate the potential significance of the find and to consult with the lead agency about what appropriate mitigation would be appropriate to protect the resource. In the event that human remains, or possible human remains, are encountered during project-related ground disturbance, in any location other than a dedicated cemetery, there shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent remains until the coroner of the county in which the human remains are discovered has determined, that the remains are not subject to the provisions of Section 27492 of the Government Code or any other related provisions of law concerning investigation of the circumstances, manner and cause of death, and the recommendations concerning treatment and disposition of the human remains have been made to the person responsible for the excavation, or to his or her authorized representative, in the manner provided in Section 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code. The County Coroner, upon recognizing the remains as being of Native American origin, is responsible to contact the NAHC within 24 hours. The Commission has various powers and duties, including the appointment of a Most Likely Descendant (MLD) to the project. The MLD, or in lieu of the MLD, and the NAHC, have the responsibility to provide guidance as to the ultimate disposition of any Native American remains. Finding: The potential impacts of the updated project on cultural resources would be the same as those analyzed in the 2016 IS/MND, because similar to the original project, the updated project site has no structures that would be considered historic. The site is considered sensitive for archaeological resources due to its location along Marsh, Sand, and Deer Creeks. As with the original project, the mitigation measures listed above would be implemented to avoid significant impacts on previously unknown archaeological resources, human remains, and paleontological resources encountered during construction. With implementation of mitigation measures above, the updated project would not affect any known tribal cultural resources. Therefore, no new or substantially increased significant impacts on cultural and paleontological Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 27 Addendum No. 1 and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 resources would result from the updated project beyond those discussed in the 2016 IS/MND. No new mitigation is required. 4.4 GEOLOGY AND SOILS 4.4.1 Findings of the Adopted IS/MND The 2016 IS/MND concluded that with mitigation, the original project would not result in significant impacts related to geology and soils as follows:  Although the project site lies within a seismically active region, there are no known active faults crossing the project site and the site is not located within an Earthquake Fault Zone. Therefore, ground rupture is unlikely at the project site and the impact would be less than significant.  The project site could experience ground shaking due to an earthquake of moderate to high magnitude generated within the San Francisco Bay Region and there could be a potentially significant impact. Implementation of Mitigation Measure GEO-1 would reduce the potential for slope deformation in the event of an earthquake and a less than significant impact from seismic ground shaking would occur. Implementation of Mitigation Measure GEO-1 would also ensure that the impact from expansive soils would be less than significant.  Impact from liquefaction would be less than significant and no impact from landsides would occur.  Potential soil erosion from construction activities would be controlled with compliance of the NPDES related to construction site runoff and therefore impacts would be less than significant. Further, erosion would be reduced following project completion due to project improvements such as restoration planting of the creek and water quality basin and therefore would be less than significant. The 2016 IS/MND found that the project site is not underlain by unstable soils and the impact would be less than significant.  No septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems are included in the original project, and there would be no impact. Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 28 Addendum No. 1 and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 4.4.2 Impact Analysis of Updated Project Similar to the original project, the updated project would implement Mitigation Measure GEO- 1, which would require all proposed improvements included in the updated project to be constructed in compliance with recommendations specified in Section 3.3 of the Geotechnical Report (ENGEO 2015; on file with the District). Implementation of Mitigation Measure GEO-1 would reduce impacts from seismic ground shaking and expansive soils to a less than significant level. As mentioned above, a SWPPP would be implemented which would include BMPs to control erosion and release of sediment and other pollutants from the project additions. Thus, similar to the conclusions of the 2016 IS/MND, the impact related to soil erosion during construction would be less than significant. All other impacts, similar to the conclusions of the 2016 IS/MND, would be less than significant. Finding: The potential impacts of the updated project related to geology and soils would be the same as those analyzed in the 2016 IS/MND for the original project. The impacts would be less than significant with the implementation of the recommendations specified in Mitigation Measure GEO-1. Therefore, no new or substantially increased significant impacts would result from the updated project beyond those discussed in the 2016 IS/MND. No new mitigation is required. 4.5 GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS 4.5.1 Findings of the Adopted IS/MND The 2016 IS/MND concluded that the original project would not result in significant impacts related to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as follows:  Estimation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from operation of construction equipment and from construction worker vehicles and haul truck trips would generate approximately 44.6 MTCO2e during construction, which would not result in a significant impact in global climate change.  The number of periodic vehicle trips for monitoring the success of the restoration plantings and long-term creek maintenance would be minimal and would not substantially increase operational GHG emissions and therefore impacts would be less than significant. Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 29 Addendum No. 1 and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 4.5.2 Impact Analysis of Updated Project Construction of the updated project would slightly increase GHG emissions above what was analyzed in the 2016 IS/MND due to additional excavation and grading to incorporate the water quality basin, improvements to Sungold Park, construction of a pedestrian bridge, and the installation of up to six temporary creek crossings. However, GHG emissions would also decrease as the excavated materials would be placed on the adjacent Griffith parcel and the initially planned 5-mile off-haul trips would be eliminated. Therefore, similar to the conclusions of the 2016 IS/MND, the impact of the updated project’s construction-phase GHG emissions would remain less than significant. The impact from operational emissions of the updated project would also remain unchanged from the previous analysis and would be less than significant. Findings: The potential impacts of the updated project-related to GHG emissions are similar to those analyzed in the 2016 IS/MND. As with the original project, all impacts from GHG emissions would be less than significant. Therefore, no new or substantially increased significant impacts would result from the updated project beyond those discussed in the 2016 IS/MND. No new mitigation is required. 4.6 NOISE 4.6.1 Findings of the Adopted IS/MND The 2016 IS/MND concluded that with mitigation, the original project would not result in significant impacts related to noise and vibration as follows:  Noise from construction equipment could impact the surrounding residences, school and daycare center, and park facilities that are located less than 50 feet from various work areas along the creek section. The daycare center located adjacent to the project site has since been closed down. With implementation of Mitigation Measure NOISE-1, which requires compliance with the Brentwood Noise Ordinance and limits construction activities to daytime hours, the impact would be less than significant.  Due to the nature of construction activities and the distance to the nearby receptors, the impact from construction phase groundborne vibration would be less than significant.  There would be no increase in operational noise in the project area due to the original project and a less-than-significant impact would occur. Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 30 Addendum No. 1 and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017  The original project is not located within two miles of any public airport or private airstrip and would not expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels. 4.6.2 Impact Analysis of Updated Project Construction Noise Impacts Construction noise due to the updated project would slightly increase above what was analyzed in the 2016 IS/MND due to additional excavation and grading to incorporate the water quality basin, improvements to Sungold Park, construction of a pedestrian bridge, the installation of up to six temporary creek crossings, and the hauling of excavated materials to the Griffith parcel. However, the noise increase would be minimal and would not significantly increase noise levels above what was analyzed in the 2016 IS/MND. Furthermore, the updated project would implement Mitigation Measure NOISE-1, and the impact from construction noise would remain less than significant. Similar to the original project, the updated project would not require pile-driving, blasting, or other activities that could cause substantial groundborne vibration. Haul trucks could result in some level of vibration while hauling materials to the Griffith parcel. However, the trucks would not travel outside the project site on roadways that are adjacent to sensitive receptors. Thus, similar to the conclusions of the 2016 IS/MND, the updated project would result in a less- than-significant impact from groundborne vibrations. Operational Noise Impacts Impacts from operational noise of the updated project would remain the same as with the original project and a less-than-significant impact would occur. Finding: The potential noise impacts of the updated project are similar to those analyzed in the 2016 IS/MND for the original project. For reasons stated above, the updated project’s potential impacts related to noise would be less than significant with mitigation measures incorporated. Therefore, no new or substantially increased significant impacts would result from the updated project beyond those discussed in the 2016 IS/MND. No new mitigation is required. 5.0 CONCLUSION Based on the above analysis and discussion, no substantive revisions are needed to the 2016 IS/MND, because no new significant impacts or impacts of substantially greater severity would Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 31 Addendum No. 1 and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 result from the construction and operation of the updated project. Furthermore, there have been no changes in circumstances in the project area that would result in new significant environmental impacts or substantially more severe impacts; and no new information has come to light that would indicate the potential for new significant impacts or substantially more severe impacts than were analyzed in the 2016 IS/MND. Therefore, no further evaluation is required, and no Subsequent EIR is needed pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, and an Addendum to an adopted negative declaration has therefore appropriately been prepared, pursuant to Section 15164. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15164(c), this Addendum will not be circulated for public review, but will be included in the public record file for the project approval. 6.0 SUPPORTING INFORMATION SOURCES City of Brentwood. 2014.

Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 1 Addendum No. 1 – MMRP and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 4.0 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that a Lead Agency establish a program to monitor and report on mitigation measures adopted as part of the environmental review process to avoid or reduce the severity and magnitude of potentially significant environmental impacts associated with project implementation. CEQA (Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 (a) (1)) requires that a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) be adopted at the time that the public agency determines to approve a project for which an EIR or a Negative Declaration (ND) has been prepared, to ensure that mitigation measures identified in the EIR or ND are fully implemented. The MMRP for the Three Creeks Parkway Restoration project is presented in Table 4.0-1, Mitigation and Monitoring Reporting Program. Table 4.0-1 includes the full text of project-specific mitigation measures identified in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Addendum No. 1. The MMRP describes implementation and monitoring procedures, responsibilities, and timing for each mitigation measure, including: Number: Identifies the number of the mitigation measure. Mitigation Measure: Provides full text of the mitigation measure as provided in the final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Addendum No. 1. Monitoring/Reporting Action(s): Designates responsibility for implementation of the mitigation measure and when appropriate, summarizes the steps to be taken to implement the measure. Mitigation Timing: Identifies the stage of the project during which the mitigation action will be taken. Monitoring Schedule: Specifies procedures for documenting and reporting mitigation implementation. The Contra Cost County Flood Control and Water Conservation District and American Rivers may modify the means by which a mitigation measure will be implemented, as long as the alternative means ensure compliance during project implementation. The responsibilities of mitigation implementation, monitoring, and reporting extend to several district departments and offices. The manager or department lead of the identified unit or department will be directly responsible for ensuring the responsible party complies with the mitigation. The Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District is responsible for the overall administration of the program and for assisting relevant departments and project managers in their oversight and reporting responsibilities. The Contra Costa County Flood Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 2 Addendum No. 1 – MMRP and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 Control and Water Conservation District is also responsible for ensuring the relevant parties understand their charge and complete the required procedures accurately and on schedule.

Non-native species should be euthanized in accordance with the guidance of the CDFW. All wildlife encounters should be documented and reported to the CDFW. If listed salmonids are present, the NMFS shall be consulted to determine the appropriate measures to ensure conformance with ESA. BIO-3: In order to avoid impacts to nesting Swainson’s hawk, white-tailed kite, burrowing owl, loggerhead shrike, and other bird species protected under the MBTA and CFGC during project implementation, the measures outlined below shall be implemented. 1. Environmental Awareness Program. Prior to the commencement of construction activities, a qualified biologist shall present an environmental awareness program to all construction personnel working on site. At a minimum the training shall include a description of special-status species that could be encountered, their habitats, regulatory status, protective measures, work boundaries, lines of communication, reporting requirements, and the implications of violations of applicable laws. 2. Swainson’s hawk is a federally listed threatened species and is covered under the HCP/NCCP. Nonetheless, every effort should be made to ensure that no take of Swainson’s hawk occurs. Therefore, the measures outlined below should be implemented. a. The project proponent should apply for coverage under the HCP/NCCP. Participation in the HCP/NCCP would provide the applicant with incidental take coverage for Swainson’s hawk and satisfy any requirements for mitigation for loss of habitat. Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Retain qualified biologist to implement the measures.

Prior to any ground disturbance during the nesting season (March 15-September 15), a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey no more than one month prior to construction to determine if there are any active Swainson’s hawk nests within 305 meters (1,000 feet) of the project site. c. If there are no occupied nests within this buffer, no further action is needed. d. If an active nest is present within this buffer, the measures outlined below shall be followed.  Construction activities are not permitted within 305 meters (1,000 feet) of an occupied nest to prevent nest abandonment. However, if site-specific conditions or the nature of the activity warrant a small buffer, a qualified biologist should coordinate with CDFW and USFWS to determine the appropriate buffer size.  Construction activities may proceed prior to September 15 if the young Swainson’s hawks have fledged, as determined by a qualified biologist. 3. White-tailed kite is a state-listed fully protected species; it is not covered under the HCP/NCCP and incidental take of the species is not allowed. To ensure that no take of white-tailed kite or other migratory raptors occurs, the measures outlined below shall be implemented. a. Prior to any ground disturbance during the nesting season (February 1-August 31), a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey no more than two weeks prior to construction to determine if there are any active nests of white- tailed kite or other migratory raptors within 76 meters (250 feet) of the project site. b. Prior to the removal or significant pruning of any trees, they shall be inspected by a qualified biologist for the presence of raptor nests. This is required during both the breeding season Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 10 Addendum No. 1 – MMRP and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 Number Mitigation Measure Monitoring/Reporting Action(s) Mitigation Timing Monitoring Schedule and non-breeding season. If a suspected raptor nest is discovered, the CDFW shall be notified. Pursuant to CFGC Section 3503.5, raptor nests, whether or not they are occupied, may not be removed until approval is granted by the CDFW. c. If there are no occupied nests within this buffer, no further action is needed. d. If an active nest is present within this buffer, the measures outlined below shall be implemented.  Construction activities are not permitted within 76 meter (250 feet) of an occupied nest to prevent nest abandonment. However, if site-specific conditions or the nature of the activity warrant a small buffer, a qualified biologist should coordinate with the CDFW and/or USFWS to determine the appropriate buffer size. Nest monitoring may be warranted for activities that would occur within a smaller buffer.  Construction activities may proceed prior to August 31 if the young white-tailed kites or other raptor species have fledged, as determined by a qualified biologist. 4. Burrowing owl is a State species of special concern and a covered species under the HCP/NCCP. To ensure that no take of burrowing owl occurs, the measures outlined below shall be implemented. a. Prior to any ground disturbance during the nesting season (February 1-August 31), a CDFW-approved biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey of all suitable burrowing owl habitat that would be affected by the project. The survey shall be performed no more than 30 days prior to construction to determine if there are any active nests of burrowing owl within 153 m (500 ft) of the project site, access permitting. b. If there are no occupied nests within this buffer, no further action is needed. c. If an active nest is present within this buffer, the measures Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 11 Addendum No. 1 – MMRP and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 Number Mitigation Measure Monitoring/Reporting Action(s) Mitigation Timing Monitoring Schedule outlined below shall be implemented.  If an occupied burrowing owl nest site is present within the limits of work, construction may not proceed. The taking of burrowing owls or occupied nests is proh ibited under CFGC. Nest sites must be flagged and protected by a designated disturbance-free buffer zone of at least 76 meters (250 feet).  Construction activities are not permitted within 76 meters (250 feet) of an occupied nest to prevent nest abandonment.  Construction may proceed if a qualified biologist monitors the nest and determines that the adults have not begun egg-laying and incubation or that the juveniles have fledged.  Burrowing owls may be passively excluded from occupied burrows outside of the breeding season (i.e., September 1- January 31), in consultation with the CDFW. All owls should be passively excluded from burrows within 49 meters (160 feet) of the work site. Passive exclusion is achieved by installing one-way doors in the burrow entrances. Doors should be in place for at least 48 hours and the site should be monitored daily for at least one week to confirm that the burrow has been abandoned. 5. Loggerhead shrike is a state species of special concern; it is not covered under the HCP/NCCP and incidental take of the species is not allowed. To ensure that no take of loggerhead shrike or any other migratory passerines occurs, the measures outlined below shall be implemented. a. If ground-disturbing activities (i.e., site clearing, disking, grading, etc.) can be performed outside of the nesting season (i.e., between September 1 and January 31), no additional surveys are warranted. Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 12 Addendum No. 1 – MMRP and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 Number Mitigation Measure Monitoring/Reporting Action(s) Mitigation Timing Monitoring Schedule b. Prior to any ground disturbance during the nesting season (February 1-August 31), a qualified biologist should conduct a preconstruction survey no more than two weeks prior to construction to determine if there are any active nests of loggerhead shrike or any other migratory passerines nests within 30 meters (100 feet) of the project site. c. If there are no occupied nests within this buffer, no further action is needed. d. If an active nest is present within this buffer, the following measures shall be implemented.  Construction activities are not permitted within 30 meters (100 feet) of an occupied nest to prevent nest abandonment. However, if site-specific conditions or the nature of the activity warrant a smaller buffer, a qualified biologist should coordinate with the CDFW and USFWS to determine the appropriate buffer size. Nest monitoring may be warranted for activities that would occur within a smaller buffer.  Construction activities may proceed prior to August 31 if the young birds have fledged, as determined by a qualified biologist.

Impacts on waters of the U.S. will be avoided by restricting grading to an elevation above the OHWM; avoidance of impacts to waters of the State is not feasible. Long-term impacts shall be minimized by limiting the use of hardened structures (e.g., grouted riprap) in preference of bio-engineering solutions as much as is practicable. Surface water connections must not be permanently blocked or interrupted and the installation of drop-structures or other features that create barriers to wildlife movement shall be avoided. 2. Prior to construction, the project proponent will need to secure authorization from the USACE, RWQCB, and CDFW in conformance to the Clean Water Act and Lake and Streambed Alteration Program. 3. Participation in the HCP/NCCP is expected to satisfy the requirements of the regulatory agencies for compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts on stream channels, wetlands and riparian habitat. A Planning Survey Report shall be completed and submitted to the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy. The submittal shall include detailed drawings illustrating all temporary and permanent impacts. 4. Per the terms of the adopted HCP/NCCP, a wetland mitigation fee or on-site habitat restoration will mitigate the impacts. If accepted by the regulatory agencies, no additional mitigation for wetland impacts is typically required. HCP/NCCP fee payment will occur at project contract award. 5. For all work within and adjacent to the stream channel and riparian habitat, best management practices (BMPs) must be incorporated into the project design to minimize environmental effects. These include the following:  Construction in the active channels shall be restricted to the dry Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Obtain permits; obtain coverage under HCP/NCCP; include BMPs in construction contract (s) Prior to start and during construction Confirm and document during construction Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 14 Addendum No. 1 – MMRP and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 Number Mitigation Measure Monitoring/Reporting Action(s) Mitigation Timing Monitoring Schedule season (April 15-October 15).  Personnel conducting ground-disturbing activities within or adjacent to the buffer zone of wetlands, ponds, streams, or riparian woodland/scrub shall be trained by a qualified biologist in these avoidance and minimization measures and the permit obligations.  If dewatering is necessary, water released downstream of work areas must be as clean or cleaner than flows entering the work area. Sediment-laden water shall be either pumped onto upland sites for infiltration or into Baker tanks for settling, prior to being released back into the channel. Coffer dams shall consist of clean, silt-free sand or gravel in sand bags, or a comparable material. All coffer dam materials must be promptly removed when no longer needed.  High visibility temporary construction fencing should be erected between the outer edge of the limits of construction and adjacent streams or habitats to be preserved. Temporary construction fencing will be removed upon the completion of work.  Grading or construction near channels shall be isolated with silt fencing or other BMPs to prevent sedimentation. BMPs shall be regularly inspected.  Vehicles and equipment shall be parked on existing roads or previously disturbed areas.  Equipment working in channels must be in good working order and free of leaks of fuel, oil, and hydraulic fluids. Drip pans shall be placed under vehicles and equipment over waterways and spill clean-up materials should be kept onsite at a convenient location.  Equipment maintenance and refueling shall be performed well away from the top of bank of any channel; storm drain inlets shall be protected from an accidental release of contaminants.

Plastic mono-filament netting (e.g., that used with erosion control matting) or similar material should not be used within the action area; wildlife can become entangled or trapped such non-biodegradable materials. Erosion-control measures shall be placed between the outer edge of the buffer and the project site.  Fiber rolls used for erosion control shall be certified as free of noxious weed seed.  Construction staging areas past the channel banks must be located away from any wetlands or other sensitive habitats as identified by a qualified biologist.  Newly graded earthen channel slopes shall be revegetated with a native seed mix developed by a qualified restorationist. Seed mixtures applied for erosion control shall not contain invasive nonnative species, and be composed of native species or sterile nonnative species. Straw or mulch shall also be applied to all bare surfaces. The seed mix and mulch shall be applied prior to the onset of the first winter-season rains.  Herbicide shall not be applied within 30 meters (100 feet) of wetlands, ponds, streams, or riparian habitat. However, where appropriate to control serious invasive plants, herbicides that have been approved by the U.S. EPA for use in or adjacent to Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 16 Addendum No. 1 – MMRP and American Rivers Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project MND County Project No.: 16-39 December 2017 Number Mitigation Measure Monitoring/Reporting Action(s) Mitigation Timing Monitoring Schedule aquatic habitats may be used as long as label instructions are followed and applications avoid or minimize impacts on covered species and their habitats. In seasonal or intermittent stream or wetland environments, appropriate herbicides may be applied during the dry season to control nonnative invasive species. Herbicide drift should be minimized by applying the herbicide as close to the target area as possible and by avoiding applying during windy days.  Additional measures may be outlined in the conditions of the permits issued by the USACE, RWQCB, CDFW, and the Habitat Conservancy. All permit conditions must be conformed to.

ATTESTED: September 27, 2016 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: Stacey M. Boyd, Deputy cc: C. 2 To:Board of Supervisors From:Julia R. Bueren, Public Works Director/Chief Engineer Date:September 27, 2016 Contra Costa County Subject:ADOPTION OF Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project (CEQA) FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of the environmental review of this Project totaled approximately $80,000, to be funded by the District with Flood Control Zone 1 funds (50 percent) and American Rivers, Inc. (American Rivers) State Grant Funds and other private funds (50 percent). BACKGROUND: During the 1960s and early 1970s, approximately 7.9 miles of Marsh Creek from the mouth of the creek near Big Break in Oakley to the Dry Creek confluence in Brentwood were channelized into steep earthen and armored trapezoidal flood control channels to provide conveyance capacity and riparian vegetation was removed. The channel was designed for a 50-year flood event in an agricultural setting. Over the last 25 years, the population of the lower Marsh Creek watershed has increased dramatically, transforming the watershed into a dense residential and commercial area, covering open space with impervious surfaces, substantially increasing runoff volume and degrading water quality. The District has constructed detention basins on each of Marsh Creek’s three tributaries (Dry, Deer, and Sand Creeks) to accommodate increased run-off associated with urban development and impervious surfaces; however, urban and agricultural runoff remain issues. The Three Creeks Parkway Project described in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) combines two separate projects. The first is the Three Creeks Restoration Project on Marsh Creek, in which the District partnered with American Rivers to apply for and receive $744,404 in DWR Urban Streams Grant Funding. The project limits of that project are from the Union Pacific Railroad tracks crossing of Marsh Creek to its confluence with Sand Creek (identified as the Lower Reach in the IS/MND). The second project is Phase 2 of the Marsh Creek Widening Project. The District is the sponsor of that project, and American Rivers is providing the District with State grant funds and other private funds to provide a multi-benefit flood control project. The project limits of the second project are from Sand Creek to just upstream of Dainty Avenue (identified as the Middle and Upper Reaches in the IS/MND). The two projects were addressed together because they are adjacent and cumulative impacts needed to be considered. The objective of the Project would be to improve the ecological functions of Marsh Creek by reducing flow velocities, creating wetlands, and restoring riparian habitat. Although much of the watershed has been constrained by urbanization, the Project site is the longest remaining stretch of undeveloped land along the creek where there is still an opportunity to widen the channel and provide a more natural creek system that is connected to the historic floodplain that can be enjoyed by trail users. The District, in partnership with American Rivers, developed the proposal to widen and restore approximately 4,000 linear feet of the Marsh Creek channel identified in three reaches (Upper, Middle, Lower) from Dainty Avenue downstream to the Union Pacific Railroad tracks with a floodplain (or in sections where more constrained, floodplain benches) that will meet the District’s standards for 100-year flood protection and restore native riparian vegetation and enhance habitats and recreation. The segment just upstream of Dainty Avenue was widened in 2000 by the District. Native riparian vegetation may also be planted in this segment as part of the Project to provide a continuous riparian corridor with the existing riparian vegetation upstream of this segment. The Project calls for widening the creek above the low-flow channel, but some areas will require work within the low-flow channel in order to create in-stream habitat using boulders and large woody debris, and to place rock slope protection. The Project would also include slight relocation of the existing East Bay Regional Park District Marsh Creek trail along the top of the eastern bank to the new top of grade from Dainty Avenue to Sand Creek (in the Upper and Middle Reaches). The trail from Sand Creek to the railroad tracks (in the Lower Reach) is to be relocated by the adjacent subdivision developer (Pulte) separately from the Project; however, the Project would reduce the gradient of the steep slope between the creek and the trail in this reach and would provide a new unpaved foot trail within the floodplain benches. The relocated trail section within the Upper Reach would be routed to pass under the Central Boulevard bridge. Approval of the Project is not recommended at this time because the District and American Rivers have not yet completed their negotiation of a separate agreement that outlines their respective obligations under the DWR completed their negotiation of a separate agreement that outlines their respective obligations under the DWR Urban Streams grant agreement (for the Three Creeks Restoration Project) and terms and conditions that will apply to the work that American Rivers plans to perform. Without this agreement, the District would become obligated to perform the obligations of both parties under the grant agreement upon approval of the Project. District staff also anticipates the need for an agreement that sets forth the District’s and American Rivers’ roles under the Marsh Creek Widening Phase 2 Project. District staff anticipates returning to the Board in February 2017 to seek Board approval of the agreement(s) and the Project. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program are not adopted before October 1, 2016, American Rivers may lose conditionally-approved grant funding for the Project.

Pursuant to Section 15063 of the State CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, California Code of Regulations, Sections 15000 et seq.), an Initial Study is a preliminary environmental analysis that is used by the lead agency (the public agency principally responsible for approving or carrying out the proposed project) as a basis for determining what level of environmental review is appropriate (Environmental Impact Report, a Mitigated Negative Declaration, or a Negative Declaration) for a project. The State CEQA Guidelines require that an Initial Study contain a project description, description of environmental setting, identification of environmental effects by checklist or other similar form, explanation of environmental effects, discussion of mitigation for significant environmental effects, evaluation of the project’s consistenc y with existing, applicable land use controls, and the name of persons who prepared the study. As shown in the Determination in Section IV of this document, and based on the analysis contained in this Initial Study, it has been determined that the proposed project would not result in any significant impacts that cannot be mitigated to less than significant levels. Therefore, preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration is appropriate. Public and Agency Review This Initial Study/Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration will be circulated for public and agency review from August 3, 2016 to September 2, 2016.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 Introduction The Three Creeks Parkway Restoration project is a multi-benefit flood control and creek restoration project proposed by the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (“District” or “CCCFCD”) and American Rivers, a non-profit organization that protects wild rivers and restores damaged rivers. It proposes to improve flood conveyance capacity and restore native vegetation along an approximately 4,000 linear feet section of Marsh Creek located in Brentwood by widening the channel with a floodplain (or sections where more constrained, floodplain benches) and planting with native vegetation. When implementation is complete, the project site will include up to 1.0 acres of frequently inundated floodplain (seasonal wetland), 1.87 acres of woody riparian vegetation, and 1.87 acres of grasslands and native scrub. The project will also enhance habitat and recreation within the watershed. In addition to the District and American Rivers, other project partners include the City of Brentwood, the Friends of Marsh Creek Watershed (FOMCW), East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy (ECCCHC), and East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD). 2.2 Project Location and Surrounding Land Uses Marsh Creek watershed, located about 35 miles east of San Francisco, is uniquely situated between the Bay-Delta and the Diablo Range, providing an important ecological corridor in a burgeoning urban area. Marsh Creek flows 30 river miles from the eastern slope of Mount Diablo State Park in central Contra Costa County to the San Joaquin Delta at Big Break in Oakley. Major tributaries to Marsh Creek include Dry, Deer, and Sand Creeks. Through the existing EBRPD park facilities and trails, Marsh Creek also provides a cultural and physical connection to the Delta, allowing East County residents to walk and bike from Big Break and its aquatic recreation facilities, through Oakley to downtown Brentwood. Thus, Marsh Creek provides one of the longest, non-motorized pathways in Contra Costa County. The project site is located along Marsh Creek in the City of Brentwood (Figure 1). The upper/southern limit of the project is just north of Dainty Avenue Bridge while the lower/northern limit is the pedestrian bridge across Marsh Creek about 175 feet south of the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks. Marsh Creek trail, a regional trail owned by EBRPD is located on the east bank of Marsh Creek within the project area. As shown in Figure 2, the project is divided into three reaches: Upper Reach Upper Reach is the upper 1,600 linear-foot section of the creek from near Dainty Avenue Bridge up to Deer Creek confluence. The area to the east and west of the Upper Reach is developed with residential neighborhoods (Figure 3).1 A vacant 0.4-acre City-owned parcel is located on the east side of the Upper Reach just 1 Future parks shown in Figure 3 are not part of the proposed project and will not be analyzed in this Initial Study. CEQA analysis of the future City parks were conducted by adjacent development properties.                                         THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK    S P R a i l r o a d Sa n d C r e e k Dry CreekMarsh CreekDeer C r e e k Trib of San d Trib of DryMarsh CreekTr ib o f SandSellers AveBalfour Rd Lone Tree Way Sunset Rd Walnut BlvdSt a t e H w y 4 B y pFairview AveChestnut StOak StDeer Valley RdDainty AveCentral Blvd Concord Ave1 StJohn Mu i r P kwyJeffery WayBrentwood Antioch 4 Project Location Ü Document Path: P:\GIS USERS - Projects\FC_Zone\Zone 1\Three Creeks Parkway.mxd Drawn By: R.

Willow Wood School/Dainty Center (Preschool-7th grade/infant care) is located to the east of the Upper Reach between Central Boulevard and Dainty Avenue. There is a vacant strip of land to the west between the creek and Central Boulevard owned by the District and City of Brentwood. Residential neighborhoods are present to the west of Central Boulevard and Marsh Creek up to Deer Creek (Figure 3). Middle Reach Middle Reach is the 800 linear-foot section of the creek between Deer Creek confluence and just south of Sand Creek confluence. Lands to the east of the Middle Reach are developed with residential subdivisions whereas the land to the west (Griffith parcel) is undeveloped at this time (Figure 3). Lower Reach Lower Reach is the 1,600 linear-foot section of the creek from just south of the Sand Creek confluence to the pedestrian bridge (Figure 3). Lands to the east of the Lower Reach are undeveloped at this time although a linear city park is planned adjacent to the creek and the remaining area is the site of the approved Pulte residential subdivision (formally known as Palmilla subdivision). Single-family homes (Carmel Estates) and a city park (Sungold Park) are located to the west of the Lower Reach. 2.3 Project Need and Objectives During the 1960s and early 1970s, approximately 7.9 miles of Marsh Creek from the mouth of the creek near Big Break on San Joaquin Delta in Oakley to the Dry Creek confluence in Brentwood were channelized into earthen and armored trapezoidal flood control channels. To provide conveyance capacity, the flood control channel was designed with steep banks, all riparian vegetation along the channel was removed, and the earthen channel was vegetated with non-native grasses. The channel was designed for a 50-year flood event in an agricultural setting. Since the flood control channel was constructed, the upper watershed has remained mostly protected parklands and open space, but the lower watershed has urbanized rapidly. Over the last 25 years, the population of the Marsh Creek watershed has increased six fold. This development has transformed the watershed into a dense residential and commercial area, covering open space with impervious surfaces, substantially increasing runoff volume and degrading water quality. The District has constructed detention basins on each of Marsh Creek’s three tributaries (Dry, Deer, and Sand Creeks) to accommodate increased run-off associated with urban development and impervious surfaces; however, urban and agricultural runoff remain issues. An Engineer’s Report prepared by the District in January 1990 identified the need to widen 7,000 feet of Marsh Creek to reduce flooding in the lower portion of the watershed. Based on the report, the District prepared a plan to widen the creek in three phases, with Phase I involving creek widening from Summer Circle to near Dainty Avenue Bridge, Phase II (” Upper Reach”) involving widening from near Dainty Avenue Bridge to Deer Creek confluence, and Phase III (“Middle Reach”) widening the creek between Deer Creek and Sand Creek. In March 1990 the “Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Marsh Creek CCCFDWCD 9 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 Watershed, Regional Drainage Plan” was published and a Final EIR was subsequently approved. Following this approval, Phase I was completed in 2000, which included the installation of a new concrete culvert at Dainty Avenue and creek widening that was almost entirely on the east bank. Downstream of Phase I, Marsh Creek does not meet the District’s standards for flood protection, exposing adjacent homes and businesses to flood risk. When looking at the capacity within the channel the District requirement for containment is controlled by the 50-year water surface elevation level (WSEL) plus freeboard or the 100-year WSEL, whichever one is higher. District analysis indicates that for the channel downstream of Phase I project, the 50-year WSEL plus freeboard will be greater than the 100-year WSEL and dictates the channel design. The project will widen the downstream sections of the creek so that the 100-year storm water surface elevation level and the 50-year storm plus WSEL would be contained within the creek channel. Both the channelization that was implemented in the 1960s and early 1970s and the removal of riparian vegetation for flood management have limited the ecological functions of the creek. These factors have severely limited habitat complexity, structure, shade, riparian inputs, and floodplain wetlands. High velocities during annual peak flow events, which are exacerbated by increased peak run-off from newly urbanized surfaces, presumably flush most of the egg and larval stages of aquatic species downstream. Poor water quality from urban run-off is made worse by the lack of wetlands, shade, and microbial activity. Relatively high temperatures combined with low dissolved oxygen levels have caused four major fish kills on Marsh Creek over the last nine years. The combination of fish kills and poor habitat complexity limits the productivity, diversity, and resilience of the creek ecosystem. The project proposes to improve the ecological functions of the creek by reducing flow velocities, creating wetlands, and restoring riparian habitat. Although much of the watershed has been constrained by urbanization, the Three Creeks Parkway Restoration project site is the longest remaining stretch of undeveloped land along the creek where there is still an opportunity to widen the channel and provide a more natural creek system that is connected to the historic floodplain. Lastly, the project would improve recreational amenities. Currently the Marsh Creek Trail located along the east bank of Marsh Creek passes through a primarily treeless stretch of land. With the restoration of riparian vegetation along the creek banks, the project would provide areas where trail users can stop in the shade and enjoy the beauty of the creek which will improve the experience of the trail users. 2.4 Project Components This project is an innovative non-structural approach to flood management and habitat restoration. Instead of trying to control the creek in a narrow zone with levees and floodwalls, it focuses on giving the creek more room to safely convey flood waters while also providing habitat for aquatic and terrestrial species. Table 1 below presents basic information about the project. Details of the project components follow the table.

The project would increase the cross-sectional area of the stream channel by excavating 24,000 cubic yards (5,500 for upper, 3,500 for middle, and 15,000 for lower reach,) of earth along approximately 4,000 linear feet of both banks of Marsh Creek to create new floodplain. Upper Reach As noted earlier, the Upper Reach is approximately 1,600 feet of the channel between just north of Dainty Avenue bridge and Deer Creek confluence. The reach is constrained by development on both sides and channel widening in this section would include excavation of both banks to construct a number of floodplain benches on both sides of the creek of varying widths with slopes ranging from 2:1 to 3:1 (Figure 4). The benches would be located above the ordinary high water mark (OHWM). The construction of the floodplain benches would satisfy the District’s freeboard requirements for an earthen                                         THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK    Dainty AveCentral BlvdMDEER CREEK358+00 365+50 Retaining Wall 369+00 371+00 Trail Proposed Trail Existing Sewer Parcel CCCFCD Parcel HCP Setback for buffer Proposed Retaining Wall Cross Section Proposed Floodplain Proposed Creek Bank Upper Reach Improvements FIGURE 4 SOURCE: Restoration Design Group, Inc. 2016 1273.001-08/16 CCCFDWCD 12 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 channel. Figure 5 presents existing and modified creek cross-sections for this reach. Once the benches are constructed, permanent slope protection such as erosion control matting or other biotechnical methods would be installed on all benches and slopes for slope stabilization and to prevent long-term effects of erosion. The selected erosion control material would provide soil stabilization and promote vegetation growth. Widening the channel cross-section is expected to decrease velocities and erosion potential. However, detailed hydraulic modeling that will be completed to inform the final design may indicate that some bank armoring is necessary where the expanded channel will taper down to the existing channel at the downstream project boundary. In one location along the Upper Reach, the project would require a retaining wall along approximately 250 feet on the left (west) bank due to the presence of Central Boulevard in Brentwood that will extend approximately 5 feet above ground. The retaining wall would rise from the back of the floodplain and would not touch the low flow channel. The project also includes replacement and repair of grouted rock at the Deer Creek confluence. Middle Reach The Middle Reach, which is about 800 feet in length, would be widened along the west bank as part of the proposed project. As the Middle Reach is also constrained, channel widening would involve excavation of both banks to construct a number of floodplain benches of varying widths as shown in Figure 6, with slopes ranging from 2:1 to 3:1. The benches would be located above the OHWM. The construction of the floodplain benches would satisfy the District’s freeboard requirements for an earthen channel. Figure 7 presents existing and modified creek cross-sections for this reach. Lower Reach The Lower Reach, which is about 1,600 feet in length, is less constrained, and more substantial widening of the channel is planned for this area. The project would excavate the east bank of the creek down to the OHWM to create a 10 to 40-foot wide floodplain with slopes typically 3:1 or less, but never more than 2:1 (Figure 8). Figure 7 presents existing and modified creek cross-sections for this reach. If bank protection is necessary at some locations, the project would use biotechnical methods or large rocks to create an aesthetically pleasing bank. Although erosion is currently not a problem, the project would reduce the potential for erosion by lowering water stage, reducing the velocity by widening the cross-sectional velocity of the channel, and establishing native riparian vegetation where compatible with the flood management objectives. To prevent weathering and erosion of slopes, permanent slope protection in the form of erosion control matting, armor, biotechnical methods, or appropriate ground cover would be installed, and the material would provide soil stabilization and promote vegetation growth. 2.4.2 Low-Flow Channel The existing low-flow channel within project limits is engineered with rock grade control structures and banks.

The excavation for floodplain widening typically will not touch the low-flow channel below the OHWM. The new floodplain would be graded to inundate during the storm events with the low-flow channel continuing to function much as it does today. Some work in the low-flow channel may be performed and would include creation of instream habitat in the low-flow channel by placing boulders and large woody debris, and the placement of rock slope protection in some portions of the low-flow channel in the Upper and Middle Reaches. 2.4.3 Sewer Line Relocation A City of Brentwood sewer main is located on the west side of the Upper Reach (as shown in Figures 4 and 5). For most of the length, the sewer is within the Central Boulevard right of way. However, a portion of this sewer is located within one of the District’s parcels where flood control improvements would be constructed. The sewer line is over 15 feet deep, at least 4 feet below the flow line of the creek. As the sewer line is below the maximum depth of excavation, it would not be relocated. Near Sand Creek confluence in the Middle and Lower Reach, the sewer main crosses under the creek and continues north along the east bank of the Lower Reach. In the Lower Reach, the sewer line is located within the area that would be excavated to create the right (east) bank floodplain. The sewer line would most likely not be relocated to the east on the Pulte residential subdivision project site. The City of Brentwood has requested that the floodplain widening be stopped short of the existing sewer alignment so it does not need to be relocated. Throughout the project reach, minor modifications to sewer manholes may be required to accommodate changes in ground elevation. In all cases, grading will be performed around manholes so that potential spills from manholes would initially drain away from Marsh Creek. 2.4.4 Establishment of Wetlands The newly created flood benches and floodplain would be inundated when flows in the creek rise during typical storm events that recur nearly annually. The floodplain and benches would be expected to be inundated frequently enough that they will support wetlands. The project would create approximately 3.6 acres of frequently inundated floodplain (seasonal wetland). However, to minimize mosquito breeding in the aquatic environment, floodplain and benches would be sloped at two percent to drain flood flows back to the creek and prevent ponding that would allow mosquitos to breed. 2.4.5 Revegetation Activities Where possible, existing trees along the creek would be protected and retained. Following the construction of channel widening activities, depending on location, the project area would be planted with native wetland forbs, grasses, shrubs, and trees. Riparian trees would be planted along the banks and would include valley oak, sycamore, live oak, blue oak, box elder, buckeye, cottonwood, and willow. Slopes and banks would be planted with grassland and scrub species, which would include creeping wild rye (Leymus triticoides), California brome (Bromus carinatus), purple needlegrass (Nassella pulchra, deawned), dense-flowered lupine (Lupinus microcarpus var. densiflorus), mugwort (Artemisia douglasiana), common fiddleneck (Amsinchkia menziesii var.intermedia), elegant clarkia (Clarkia unguiculata), and California poppy (Eschscholzia californica). Areas of the floodplain would be planted with seasonal wetland species that will include, but not be limited to, creek clover (Trifolium obtusiflorum), Baltic rush (Juncus balticus), and deer sedge (Carex praegracilis). CCCFDWCD 18 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 In 2000, the District completed Phase I widening of Marsh Creek from Dainty Avenue upstream to approximately Summer Circle (Figure 2). While additional widening of this segment is not proposed for this project due to constraints from the adjacent subdivisions, native shrubs and trees may be planted to provide a continuous riparian corridor with the existing riparian vegetation upstream of this segment and the proposed restoration of the project. 2.4.6 Recreational Improvements The project would enhance opportunities for strolling, hiking, and biking along Marsh Creek. Marsh Creek trail would be relocated to the new top of the eastern bank along Upper and Middle Reach as part of the proposed project. The relocated trail section within the Upper Reach would be routed to pass under the Central Avenue road bridge. The trail section along the eastern bank of the Lower Reach would be relocated by the Pulte developer and this trail relocation is not within the scope of this project. However, the project would reduce the gradient of the steep slope between the creek and the trail and would provide a new unpaved foot trail within the created floodplain. Pervious pavement is being considered for use on the relocated trail. The City of Brentwood Parks, Trails, and Recreation Master Plan (2002) shows a future pedestrian bridge connecting the current Marsh Creek Regional Trail to the Griffith (DLT Ventures) property in the Middle Reach that would allow people to safely access and cross the creek as well as access possible future trails along Sand Creek and/or Deer Creek. These components are not part of this project. The City of Brentwood will be updating its Master Plan and the location of these features may be adjusted appropriately. The lower 1,600 feet of the project would be integrated into a new linear city park, which would provide passive recreation amenities and native landscaping consistent with creek restoration. Consistent with the standards of the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), native trees would be planted within a 60-linear foot band of two city parks, along the west side of Pulte development within the HCP/NCCP required setback to provide a natural buffer adjacent to the creek. The project would also include interpretive signs along Marsh Creek. 2.5 Project Construction Activities and Schedule The proposed project has most of the permanent right of way required for construction. However, as indicated in Table 1, temporary construction easements or small permanent takes may be needed from the City of Brentwood and other property owners in order to access adjacent parcels during construction. Construction is anticipated to begin summer 2017. Excavation and grading activities would occur during the dry season (July to October) with plant restoration occurring afterwards (November to December) and may take up to two construction seasons to complete. 2.5.1 Upper Reach Grading and earthmoving activities along the Upper Reach would take place over a period of approximately 2 weeks during the dry season. Construction equipment to be used would include tractors, backhoes, excavators, graders, and dump trucks. Staging for the Upper Reach portion of the project would be within the District-owned parcels or on a City-owned parcel to the east of the creek south of Central Boulevard. Approximately 5,500 cubic yards of soil excavated for channel expansion would require disposal. The excavated materials would be temporarily stored in the staging area and later removed for use on other nearby land development projects or would be off-hauled to the Dutch CCCFDWCD 19 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 Slough project site in Oakley where it would be used as fill. Other construction activities along this reach would include revegetation and planting, as well as the relocation of the regional trail. 2.5.2 Middle Reach Grading and earthmoving activities along the Middle Reach would also take place over a period of approximately 1 to 2 weeks during the dry season. Construction equipment to be used would include tractors, backhoes, excavators, graders, and dump trucks. Staging for the Middle Reach portion of the project would take place on the District-owned parcels that contain the Middle Reach of the creek. Approximately 3,500 cubic yards of spoils excavated for channel expansion would require disposal. Similar to the Upper Reach, the excavated materials would be temporarily stored in the staging area and later removed for use on other nearby land development projects or would be off-hauled to the Dutch Slough project site where it would be used as fill. Other construction activities along this reach would include revegetation and planting, as well as the relocation of the regional trail. 2.5.3 Lower Reach Construction of the Lower Reach improvements would take place over a period of approximately 4 weeks during the dry season. Staging for the Lower Reach portion of the project would take place on the District-owned parcels containing the creek or the adjacent vacant private land parcel . Construction equipment to be used would include tractors, backhoes, excavators, graders, and dump trucks. Approximately 11,000 cubic yards of spoils excavated for channel expansion would require disposal, with the remainder of the excavated materials (4,000 cubic yards) used on site. Similar to the other two reaches, the excavated materials would be temporarily stored in the staging area and later removed for use on other nearby land development projects or would be off-hauled to the Dutch Slough project site where it would be used as fill. Other construction activities along this reach would include revegetation and planting. 2.6 Long Term Maintenance Following the construction of the proposed improvements, the project area would be maintained by the District, with EBRPD responsible for continued maintenance of the regional trail. 2.7 Permits and Approvals Required In addition to review and approval of the proposed project by the District pursuant to CEQA, the proposed project will also require the following permits and approvals for implementation:  Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for construction in the Waters of the U.S.  CWA Section 401 Certification from the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board  Section 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife  EBRPD Encroachment Permit  District Encroachment Permit  City of Brentwood Grading Permit                                         THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK    CCCFDWCD 20 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 3.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS All items on the Initial Study Checklist that have been checked “Less Than Significant Impact” or “No Impact” indicate that, upon evaluation, the District on behalf of the Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development has determined that the proposed project could not have a significant adverse environmental effect relating to that issue. For items that have been checked “Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated,” the District has determined that the proposed project would not have a significant adverse environmental effect as the mitigation measures presented in this Initial Study would be implemented as part of the project. For each checklist item, the evaluation has considered the impacts of the project both individually and cumulatively.                                         THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK    CCCFDWCD 23 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 5.1 Aesthetics 5.1.1 Background The project is located in a rapidly urbanizing area of eastern Contra Costa County, in the City of Brentwood. At the present time, the creek is a trapezoidal flood control channel with practically no riparian vegetation. The earthen channel is steep sloped and planted with non-native grasses. A narrow band of ruderal freshwater marsh habitat is present along the base of the channel banks. Marsh Creek Trail is located on top of the eastern bank of the creek. Residential subdivisions are present on both sides of the creek for most of the project’s length. A vacant City- owned parcel is located on the east side of the Upper Reach just south of Central Boulevard and another city park (Sungold Park) is present on the west side of the Lower Reach. A linear park is planned adjacent to the east side of the Lower Reach. A residential subdivision project (Pulte) is approved for the area east of the Lower Reach. 5.1.2 Environmental Checklist and Discussion AESTHETICS Would the project… Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Project- level Mitigation Less than Significant Impact No Impact a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? DISCUSSION: Project a. A scenic vista is defined as a publicly accessible viewpoint that provides expansive views of a highly valued landscape. Although public views of the Upper Reach are available from Dainty Avenue and Central Boulevard, the views are generally not expansive and would not be considered a scenic vista. Expansive views of the creek and the broader landscape are available from Sungold Park to the west of the Lower Reach and from the EBPRD regional trail, especially in the area of the Middle and Lower Reaches. The implementation of the proposed project would change these views by widening the floodplain and planting riparian vegetation along the creek. CCCFDWCD 24 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 However, this change would not adversely affect the scenic views in the area but would in fact enhance the views by adding trees and other riparian vegetation along the creek banks. The impact would be less than significant. b. There is no state designated scenic route in the immediate vicinity of the proposed project. However, some trees will be removed but the project will be restored with native riparian trees and understory vegetation. Therefore, the project impact would be less than significant. c. The proposed project would excavate both banks of the creek, widen the channel, and restore the area by planting native plant species and riparian trees. During construction, the project area would appear disturbed and a small number of existing trees would be removed when the creek banks are excavated. However the duration of construction would be short and once the construction is completed, new trees and other native plants appropriate to the project area would be planted. Once the new plantings are established, the visual character and quality of the creek corridor would improve relative to current conditions. Impacts of the proposed project on the visual character of the project site and its surroundings would be less than significant. d. The project does not include the installation of any temporary or permanent lighting. Construction work would be completed during daytime hours and no lighting would be required. Therefore implementation of the project would not create a new source of substantial light or glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area. There would be no impact. CCCFDWCD 25 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 5.2 Agricultural and Forestry Resources 5.2.1 Background The project is located in Contra Costa County. The Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) identifies the project site as Urban and Built-Up Land2 (California Department of Conservation 2014). The project site is bordered on the east by residential subdivisions, a vacant City-owned parcel, two planned parks, Willow Wood School/Dainty Center, and an approved residential subdivision. To the west, the project site is bordered by residential subdivisions and a city park. The land between Deer Creek and Sand Creek to the west of the Middle Reach is presently undeveloped land planned for future residential subdivision development (City of Brentwood General Plan 2014). All lands adjacent to the creek are designated Urban and Built-Up land by the FMMP. 5.2.2 Environmental Checklist and Discussion AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY RESOURCES Would the project… Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Mitigation Less than Significant Impact No Impact a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non- agricultural use? b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code Section 12220(g)) or timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code Section 4526)? d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? 2 Land occupied by structures with a building density of at least 1 unit to 1.5 acres, or approximately 6 structures to a 10-acre parcel. This land is used for residential, industrial, commercial, construction, institutional, public administration, railroad and other transportation yards, cemeteries, airports, golf courses, sanitary landfills, sewage treatment, water control structures, and other developed purposes. CCCFDWCD 26 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 e) Involve other changes in the existing environment, which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? DISCUSSION: a. The project site is designated as Urban and Built-up Land by the FMMP. As a result, implementation of the proposed project would not result in the conversion of land designated either as Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance to non- agricultural use. There would be no impact. b. The project site is not under a Williamson Act contract and is not zone for agricultural use. There would be no impact from the implementation of the project on land under a Williamson Act contract and/or zoned for agricultural use. c., d. Timberland is defined in PRC Section 4526 as “land designated by the board3 as experimental forest land, which is available for, and capable of, growing a crop of trees of a commercial species used to produce lumber and other forest products, including Christmas trees.” The project site contains no mapped timberland, and there would be no impact from implementation of the proposed project. Forest land is defined in PRC Section 12220(g) as “land that can support 10-percent native tree cover of any species, including hardwoods, under natural conditions, and that allows for management of one or more forest resources, including timber, aesthetics, fish and wildlife, biodiversity, water quality, recreation, and other public benefits.” The project site does not contain any forest lands. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not result in the loss of or conversion of forest land to non-forest use. There would be no impact. e. The project would not involve any land use changes that could indirectly lead to the conversion of Important Farmland or forest lands to other uses. Furthermore, as discussed above, most of the parcels near the project site are developed with residential subdivisions, and those properties that are currently undeveloped are designated Urban and Built-Up Land by the FMMP. There would be no impact. 3 Board of Forestry and Fire Protection CCCFDWCD 27 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 5.3 Air Quality 5.3.1 Background The project area is subject to air quality planning programs developed in response to both the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) and the California Clean Air Act (CCAA). Within the San Francisco Bay Area, air quality is monitored, evaluated, and regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). The project is located in eastern Contra Costa County, which, along with eight other counties, is within the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin (SFBAAB or Air Basin). Air pollutants are emitted by a variety of sources, including mobile sources such as automobiles; stationary sources such as manufacturing facilities, power plants, and laboratories; and area sources such as homes and commercial buildings. While some of the air pollutants that are emitted need to be examined at the local level, others are predominantly an issue at the regional level. For instance, ozone (O3) is formed in the atmosphere in the presence of sunlight by a series of chemical reactions involving oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and reactive organic gases (ROG). Because these reactions are broad-scale in effects, the effects of ozone typically are analyzed at the regional level (i.e., in the Air Basin) rather than the local level. On the other hand, other air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide (SO2), respirable particulate matter (PM10), fine particulate matter (PM2.5), carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb), and toxic air contaminants (TAC) are a potential concern in the immediate vicinity of the pollutant source because the pollutants are emitted directly or are formed close to the source. TACs are also known as hazardous air pollutants. Therefore, the study area for emissions of SO2, PM10, PM2.5, CO, Pb, and TAC is the local area nearest the source, such as in the vicinity of construction sites, whereas the study area for regional pollutants such as NOx and ROG is the entire Air Basin. Air pollutants typically are categorized as criteria pollutants or TACs. The criteria pollutants are those regulated at the federal level by U.S. EPA and at the state and regional level by CARB and BAAQMD, respectively. These include O3, PM10, PM2.5, CO, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), SO2, and Pb. O3 is a secondary pollutant formed during photochemical reactions with precursor pollutants. As such, O3 is measured by assessing emissions of its precursors, ROG and NO2. TACs are airborne pollutants for which there are no air quality standards, but are known to have adverse human health effects and therefore are regulated. TACs are generated by a number of sources, including stationary sources, mobile sources such as automobiles and heavy-duty construction equipment, particularly diesel-fueled vehicles. Air quality in the Air Basin is monitored by the BAAQMD and CARB. Based on pollutant concentrations measured at monitoring stations within the Air Basin, the SFBAAB is classified as being either in attainment or non-attainment of federal and state air quality standards. The Air Basin is designated nonattainment for the federal O3 8-hour standard, the state O3 1-hour standard, the state PM10 standard, and the state and federal PM2.5 standards. For all other federal and state standards, the Air Basin is in attainment or unclassified. CCCFDWCD 28 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 Some groups of people are considered more sensitive to adverse effects from air pollution than the general population. These groups are termed “sensitive receptors.” Sensitive receptors include children, the elderly, and people with existing health problems, who are more often susceptible to respiratory infections and other air quality-related health problems. Locations where these groups of people are found, such as schools, childcare centers, hospitals, and nursing homes, are all considered sensitive receptors. Air pollution impacts are assessed, in part, based on potential effects on sensitive receptors. Several sensitive receptors are located in the vicinity of the project site. Specifically, single-family homes are located adjacent to the work areas on the east side of the creek between Dainty Avenue and Central Boulevard; on the west side of the creek between Central Boulevard and Deer Creek; and along the east side of the Middle Reach. Willow Wood School/Dainty Center is also located adjacent to the east side of the creek at the corner of Dainty Avenue and Central Boulevard. The BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality Guidelines (“BAAQMD Guidelines”) set forth methodologies and quantitative significance thresholds that a lead agency may use to estimate and evaluate the significance of a project’s air emissions. The BAAQMD Guidelines present thresholds for evaluating both construction-phase and operational emissions, and include numeric thresholds for criteria pollutants and health-based evaluation criteria for TACs. The BAAQMD Guidelines do not recommend quantification of fugitive dust emissions but note that the impact from a project’s fugitive dust emissions during construction would be significant unless dust control measures and other best management practices are implemented. Although due to litigation related to the BAAQMD Guidelines, the BAAQMD is not recommending the use of the thresholds in its Guidelines, the thresholds are used by most Bay Area lead agencies, and have been used in this Initial Study to evaluate the project’s air quality impacts. 5.3.2 Environmental Checklist and Discussion AIR QUALITY Would the project… Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Mitigation Less than Significant Impact No Impact a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is in non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? CCCFDWCD 29 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? DISCUSSION: a. A project would be considered to conflict with or obstruct implementation of the regional air quality plans if it would be inconsistent with the emissions inventories contained in the regional air quality plans. Emission inventories are developed based on projected increases in population and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) within the region. Project-generated increases in population or VMT could, therefore, potentially conflict with regional air quality attainment plans. Due to the nature of the creek restoration activities, implementation of the proposed project would not result in increased population or related increases in vehicle miles traveled within the region. As a result, implementation of the proposed project would not be anticipated to conflict with existing or future air quality planning efforts. The proposed project would have a less than significant impact. b. Implementation of the proposed project would result in short-term emissions associated with ground disturbance and use of construction equipment and vehicles. Minimal emissions are anticipated after the activities are completed, for reasons presented below. Construction Construction-generated emissions are short term and of temporary duration, lasting only as long as construction activities occur, but have the potential to result in a significant air quality impact. The channel widening and restoration activities would result in temporary emissions associated with excavation and motor-vehicle exhaust from construction equipment and worker trips, as well as the movement of construction equipment especially on unpaved surfaces. Emissions of airborne particulate matter are largely dependent on the amount of ground disturbance associated with site preparation activities. Criteria Pollutant Emissions Emissions of criteria pollutants from mainly excavation activities, grading and off-hauling were estimated using the CalEEMod model. A conservative scenario was modeled that assumed that the Upper Reach and Lower Reach improvements would be under construction at the same time and the Middle Reach improvements would be constructed shortly thereafter. Therefore all of the construction activities would take place over a 37-day period. The estimated construction emissions are provided below in Table 2, Estimated Construction Emissions. CCCFDWCD 30 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 Table 2 Estimated Construction Emissions (lbs per day) CO NOx ROG PM (fugitive dust) PM10 (Exhaust) PM2.5 (Exhaust) Project 24.4 20.9 2.4 138.7 0.81 0.74 Significance Thresholds None 54 54 None 82 54 Exceedance? No No No No No No Source: Impact Sciences, Inc. 2016. As shown in Table 2, if the Upper Reach and Lower Reach are concurrently under construction and the Middle Reach is constructed shortly after, the proposed project would result in emissions that would not exceed the thresholds of significance for criteria pollutants. The impact from air pollutant emissions during the construction-phase of the project would be less than significant. Fugitive Dust As mentioned above, movement of construction equipment, especially on unpaved surfaces, during construction activities and off-hauling excavated materials could temporarily generate fugitive dust, including PM10 and PM2.5 emissions. Unless properly controlled, vehicles leaving the site would deposit mud on local roadways, which could be an additional source of airborne dust after it dries. Fugitive dust emissions would vary from day to day, depending on the nature and magnitude of construction activity and local weather conditions. Fugitive dust emissions would also depend on soil moisture, silt content of soil, wind speed, and the amount of equipment operating. Larger dust particles would settle near the source, while fine particles would be dispersed over greater distances from the construction site. The BAAQMD Guidelines consider the impact from a project’s construction-phase dust emissions to be less than significant if best management practices listed in the guidelines are implemented. Without these BMPs, the impact from fugitive dust emissions would be potentially significant. Thus, to ensure that construction-phase emissions are controlled and minimized, Mitigation Measure AIR-1 is included which requires that dust control and other BMPs put forth by the BAAQMD are implemented by the proposed project. Mitigation Measure AIR-1: The construction contractor(s) shall implement the following BMPs during project construction:  All exposed surfaces (e.g., parking areas, staging areas, soil stockpiles, graded areas, and unpaved access roads) shall be watered two times per day.  All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material off-site shall be covered. CCCFDWCD 31 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016  All visible mud or dirt track-out onto adjacent public roads shall be removed using wet power vacuum street sweepers at least once per day. The use of dry power sweeping is prohibited.  All vehicle speeds on unpaved roads shall be limited to 15 mph.  All roadways, driveways, and sidewalks to be paved shall be completed as soon as possible and feasible.  Idling times shall be minimized either by shutting equipment off when not in use or reducing the maximum idling time to five minutes (as required by the California airborne toxics control measure Title 13, Section 2485 of California Code of Regulations [CCR]). Clear signage shall be provided for construction workers at all access points.  All construction equipment shall be maintained and properly tuned in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. All equipment shall be checked by a certified mechanic and determined to be running in proper condition prior to operation.  Post a publicly visible sign with the telephone number and person to contact at the Lead Agency regarding dust complaints. This person shall respond and take corrective action within 48 hours. The Air District’s phone number shall also be visible to ensure compliance with applicable regulations. Community Health Risk In addition to an evaluation of the potential impacts from a project’s construction -phase emissions of criteria pollutant and fugitive dust, the BAAQMD Guidelines recommend an evaluation of potential community health risk and hazards from a project’s construction emissions of toxic air contaminants (TACs). For assessing community risks and hazards, a 1,000 foot radius around the project boundary is recommended in the BAAQMD Guidelines. The proposed project would involve the use of diesel-fueled construction equipment which would result in diesel particulate emissions which are considered a TAC in the vicinity of the work areas. Due to the nature of the proposed project, the fact that only a few pieces of equipment would be used on each reach (no more than 3 pieces of equipment), and the short duration of work, the potential for a significant impact is low. However, sensitive receptors such as residences and a daycare center are located less than 50 feet from where project construction activities would occur and could be potentially affected. The impact would be potentially significant. To avoid impacts to nearby sensitive receptors, the project will be required to implement Mitigation Measure AIR-2 which will ensure that cleaner engines are utilized for construction equipment to reduce diesel particulate emissions. Mitigation Measure AIR-2: All diesel-powered off-road equipment larger than 50 horsepower and operating on the site for more than two days continuously during the duration of construction shall, at a minimum, meet U.S. EPA emissions standards for Tier 2 engines or equivalent. CCCFDWCD 32 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 Operation Operational air emission impacts are associated with any change in permanent use of the project site as a land use change can add new on-site stationary or area sources to the project site or increase the number of vehicles trips to and from the project site. No change in land use is proposed as part of the channel widening and restoration activities. Although restoration activities may attract more people to utilize the Marsh Creek Trail, no significant permanent increase in vehicle trips to the creek would result due to the proposed project. The small number of vehicle trips associated with the monitoring and maintenance activities would not significantly increase VMT. Therefore, operational emissions associated with the proposed project would not change substantially from existing conditions, and would not exceed the applicable BAAQMD thresholds of significance for operational emissions. The impact from air pollutant emissions during operation would be less than significant. c. As described above in Response b, the proposed project would not result in temporary increases in air pollutant emissions that would exceed the applicable BAAQMD thresholds of significance for construction emissions of criteria pollutants. In addition, BMPs would be implemented to control fugitive dust and other construction-phase emissions. The proposed project would also not result in a substantial amount of air pollutant emissions during operation. As a result, increases of temporary and long-term air pollutant emissions would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any of the pollutants for which the project region is in nonattainment status for federal or state ambient air quality standards. This impact would be less than significant. d. The potential for project construction activities to affect sensitive receptors is analyzed above under Response b. As noted there, although TAC emissions during construction could result in a potentially significant community health impact, it would be reduced to a less than significant level by Mitigation Measure AIR-2 set forth above. e. Construction of the proposed project would require the use of diesel-fueled equipment, which has an associated odor. However, odors would be short term and temporary and would disperse rapidly. They would not be pervasive enough to affect a substantial number of people or to be objectionable. Consequently, construction of the proposed project would not cause or be affected by odors, and the impact would be less than significant. Furthermore, Mitigation Measures AIR- 1 and AIR-2 would be implemented to minimize diesel exhaust emissions emitted on the project site during construction. CCCFDWCD 33 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 5.4 Biological Resources 5.4.1 Background The project site is situated in a rapidly developing part of eastern Contra Costa County. Adjacent land uses include single-family residential neighborhoods to the north, west and south, and vacant lands zoned for residential development to the east and west. A section of the Marsh Creek Regional Trail follows the top of Marsh Creek’s eastern bank. The entire study area, which encompasses both banks of Marsh Creek over a section approximately 4,000 feet long, has been highly modified historically by flood control and agricultural activities. The upland portions of the study area were dryland farmed as recently as 2003 and were under cultivation at least as long ago as 1938; Marsh Creek has had much the same alignment going back at least as long ago as then. Although most of the Marsh Creek channel on site is lined with earthen banks, portions have been armored with grouted riprap. Multiple storm drains outfall into the channel. The left (western) bank is topped with a gravel access roadbed and backs up onto fenced back yards or adjacent residences, and a vacant field. The right (east) bank is topped with the paved Marsh Creek Regional Trail and bordered with an old barbed wire fence in the Lower Reach. The upland fields within and adjacent to the project site is former agricultural land that has gone fallow but is routinely disked for weed and fire control (Wood 2016). No natural, unaltered plant communities are present onsite or the project vicinity. Although native plant species are present, none of the habitats present are considered indigenous and natural; each is characterized as a product of post-disturbance recolonization. The predominant vegetation type is ruderal. Anthropogenic habitat, consisting of plantings, is present along the Marsh Creek Regional Trail and on adjacent properties. A narrow band of ruderal freshwater marsh habitat is present along the base of each channel bank (Wood 2016). Reconnaissance-level surveys were performed on May 12, 2015 and November 17, 2015 by Wood Biological Consulting. During both surveys, all habitat types at and adjacent to the study area were surveyed and classified, and plant and wildlife species observed were recorded. Special-status Plants Special-status plants include plant species that are listed or proposed for listing under the Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA) or California Endangered Species Act (CESA) or considered by the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) to be “rare, threatened or endangered in California”(California Rare Plant Rank 1A, 1B and 2). A total of 61 special-status plant species have been recorded in the nine U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangles surrounding the project site and were evaluated in the February 2016 Biological Resource Assessment. Of the 61 species, eight special-status plant species are mapped by the 2015 California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) as having been recorded from within 3.0 miles of the project site. These include brittlescale (Atriplex depressa), big tarplant (Blepharizonia plumosa), round-leaved filaree (California macrophylla), San Joaquin spearscale (Extriplex joaquiniana), stinkbells (Fritillaria agrestis), Brewer’s western flax (Hesperolinon breweri), Antioch Dunes evening primrose (Oenothera deltoides ssp. howelliii), and showy golden madia (Madia radiata). CCCFDWCD 34 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 No federally or State-listed plant species or California Rare Plant Rank 1A, 1B and 2 species were detected within the study area and none is expected to occur within the project disturbance areas due to level of historical disturbance and lack of appropriate habitat. Special-status Wildlife Species Special-status wildlife species include animal taxa listed or proposed for listing under the FESA or CESA; taxa considered by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to be a Species of Special Concern (SSC); and taxa which meet the criteria for listing, even if not currently included on any list, as described under CEQA Section 15380. In addition, many wildlife species receive protection under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA), the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), and the Migratory Bird Treaty Reform Act (MBTRA). The California Fish and Game Code (CFGC) provides specific language protecting birds and raptors, “fully protected birds,” “fully protected mammals,” “fully protected reptiles and amphibians,” and “fully protected fish.” The California Code of Regulations (CCR) prohibits the take of fully protected fish, certain fur‐bearing mammals, and restricts the taking of amphibians and reptiles (Wood 2016). The potential for a total of 78 special-status wildlife species to occur in the area to be disturbed by the project was evaluated in the February 2016 Biological Resource Assessment. Based on the availability of suitable habitat, there is potential for nine special-status wildlife species to occur on site. These include silvery legless lizard, California red-legged frog, Pacific pond turtle, Chinook salmon, steelhead (Central Valley distinct population segment (DPS)), burrowing owl, white-tailed kite, loggerhead shrike, and Swainson’s hawk. Of the nine species, two of these species were observed on site during surveys: burrowing owl was observed nesting within the study area and Swainson’s hawk was observed hunting on site. East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan The proposed project site is located within the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan (“HCP/NCCP” or “Plan”) inventory area. The Plan is intended to provide a comprehensive framework to protect natural resources in eastern Contra Costa County, while improving and streamlining the environmental permitting process for impacts of new development on Endangered and Threatened species, and other species covered by the HCP/NCCP. The permit area for the East Contra Costa County HCP/NCCP generally includes land within the urban limit lines in the cities of Clayton, Pittsburg, Oakley, and Brentwood and Contra Costa County. The local jurisdictions who are permittees under the HCP/NCCP include the cities of Brentwood, Clayton, Oakley, and Pittsburg, Contra Costa County, Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, East Bay Regional Park District, and the Conservancy. Currently, all participating jurisdictions have approved the HCP/NCCP and have adopted implementing ordinances and the fee structures set forth in the HCP/NCCP. As required by the FESA, the HCP/NCCP includes measures to avoid and minimize take of covered species, which would be included as conditions on development for applicable projects. It is the responsibility of project proponents to design and implement their projects in compliance with listed measures in the HCP/NCCP. CCCFDWCD 35 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 The proposed project’s participation in the HCP/NCCP would provide a mechanism to adequately mitigate impacts to all potentially occurring covered sensitive species and habitats on the project site. 5.4.2 Environmental Checklist and Discussion BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Would the project… Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Mitigation Less than Significant Impact No Impact a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special- status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? CCCFDWCD 36 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 DISCUSSION: a. Special-status Plants As stated above, 61 special-status plant species have been recorded within the nine USGS quad area inclusive of the project site and were evaluated in the February 2016 Biological Resource Assessment. However, none of the special-status plant species were observed during site reconnaissance surveys and are not expected to occur on the project site due to the level of disturbance, soils, lack of suitable habitat or substrate, and geographic isolation from known populations. Therefore, no impacts to special-status plant species would occur. Special-status Wildlife Species As noted above, the potential exists for nine special-status wildlife species to occur on site: silvery legless lizard, California red-legged frog, Pacific (Western) pond turtle, Chinook salmon, steelhead (Central Valley DPS), burrowing owl, white-tailed kite, loggerhead shrike, and Swainson’s hawk. The potential also exists for numerous other bird species that are protected under the MBTA and CFGC to be present in the area. The potential for the project to affect these species is evaluated below. Reptiles and Amphibians Populations of California red-legged frog, Pacific (Western) pond turtle, and silvery legless lizard have been recorded from the project region. Although the occurrence of these species on the project site is considered unlikely, the lack of significant barriers to movement between known source populations and the project site means that the potential exists for these species to move into harm’s way during project construction and direct mortalities could result. Direct and indirect impacts to California red-legged frog, Pacific (Western) pond turtle, and silvery legless lizard would be considered significant. Implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-1 would reduce impacts to these species to a less than significant level. Mitigation Measure BIO-1: To avoid and minimize impacts to California red-legged frog, Pacific (Western) pond turtle, and silvery legless lizard during construction activities, the project will implement the following measures: 1. Coverage under the HCP/NCCP. The project proponent shall apply for coverage under the HCP/NCCP. Participation in the HCP/NCCP, including implementation of appropriate avoidance and minimization measures and payment of applicable fees CCCFDWCD 37 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 would provide the project proponent with incidental take coverage for California red-legged frog, Pacific (Western) pond turtle, and silvery legless lizard.4 2. Seasonal Avoidance. If required by the Streambed Alteration Agreement or Water Quality Certification, work shall be limited to the dry season, from April 15 to October 15. 3. Minimize Nighttime Work. If required by the Streambed Alteration Agreement or Water Quality Certification, nighttime construction shall be restricted to avoid effects on nocturnally active species such as California red-legged frog. 4. Environmental Awareness Program. Prior to the commencement of construction activities, a qualified biologist shall present an environmental awareness program to all construction personnel working on site. At a minimum the training should include a description of special-status species that could be encountered, their habitats, regulatory status, protective measures, work boundaries, lines of communication, reporting requirements, and the implications of violations of applicable laws. 5. Wildlife Exclusion Fencing. Prior to the start of construction, wildlife exclusion fencing (WEF)5 shall be installed as warranted and consistent with the HCP/NCCP to isolate the work area from any habitats potentially supporting special-status animals or through which such species may move. The final project plans shall indicate where and how the WEF is to be installed. The bid solicitation package special provisions shall provide further instructions to the contractor about acceptable fencing locations and materials. The fencing shall remain throughout the duration of the work activities, be regularly inspected and properly maintained by the contractor. Fencing and stakes shall be completely removed following project completion. 6. Best Management Practices (BMPs). Prior to the initiation of work, BMPs shall be in place to prevent the release of any pollutants or sediment into the creek, storm drains, or tributaries; all BMPs shall be properly maintained. Leaks, drips, and spills of hydraulic fluid, oil, or fuel from construction equipment shall be promptly cleaned up to prevent contamination of water ways. All workers shall be properly trained regarding the importance of preventing and cleaning up spills of contaminants. Protective measures should include, at a minimum: 4 The HCP/NCCP requires written notification to the USFWS, CDFW, and the Habitat Conservancy prior to disturbance of any suitable breeding habitat for California red-legged frog. However, the project area does not contain any suitable breeding habitat for this species. Because the project will receive take coverage under the HCP/NCCP, preconstruction surveys are not required for California red-legged frog (non-breeding), Pacific (Western) pond turtle and silver legless lizard. 5 Wildlife Exclusion Fencing should provide a barrier for terrestrial wildlife gaining access to the project work areas. The fencing may vary to meet the needs of a particular species, but should be buried and/or backfilled to prevent animals passing under the fence and should be high enough to deter reptiles and amphibian or small mammals from climbing or jumping over the fence. Acceptable fencing materials including ERTEC E-Fence® (Ertec Environmental Systems LLC), plywood, corrugated metal, silt fencing or other suitable materials. CCCFDWCD 38 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 a. No discharge of pollutants from vehicle and equipment cleaning should be allowed into any storm drains or watercourses. b. Spill containment kits should be maintained onsite at all times during construction operations and/or staging or fueling of equipment. c. Coir rolls or straw wattles should be installed along or at the base of slopes during construction to capture sediment. 7. Erosion Control. Graded areas shall be protected from erosion using a combination of silt fences, fiber rolls along toes of slopes or along edges of designated staging areas, and erosion control netting (such as jute or coir) as appropriate on sloped areas. 8. Construction Site Restrictions. The following site restrictions shall be implemented to avoid adversely affecting sensitive habitats and harm or harassment to listed species: a. Any fill material shall be certified to be non-toxic and weed free. b. All food and food-related trash items shall be enclosed in sealed trash containers and removed completely from the site at the end of each day. c. No pets from project personnel shall be allowed anywhere in the project site during construction. d. No firearms shall be allowed on the project site except for those carried by authorized security personnel, or local, State or Federal law enforcement officials. e. All equipment shall be maintained such that there are no leaks of automotive fluids such as gasoline, oils or solvents and a Spill Response Plan shall be prepared. Hazardous materials such as fuels, oils, solvents, etc. shall be stored in sealable containers in a designated location that is isolated from wetlands and aquatic habitats. f. Servicing of vehicles and construction equipment including fueling, cleaning, and maintenance should occur only at sites isolated from any aquatic habitat unless separated by topographic or drainage barrier or unless it is an already existing gas station. Staging areas may occur closer to the project activities as required. 9. Proper Use of Erosion Control Devices. Plastic mono-filament netting (e.g., that used with erosion control matting) or similar material shall not be used within the project area; wildlife can become entangled or trapped in such non-biodegradable materials. Acceptable substitutes include coconut coir matting, tackified hydroseeding, blown straw, or other organic mulching material. 10. Protocol for Species Observation – Pacific (Western) pond turtle and silvery legless lizard. If a Pacific (Western) pond turtle or silvery legless lizard is encountered in the project site, work in the area of the finding must cease immediately until the animal either moves out of harm’s way of its own accord or is safely relocated well upstream or downstream of the project site. Only a qualified biologist with a scientific collection permit issued by the CDFW may handle and relocate Pacific (Western) pond turtle or silvery legless lizard. Any sightings and relocation of Pacific (Western) CCCFDWCD 39 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 pond turtle and silvery legless lizard should be reported to the CDFW and the CNDDB. Fish Species Although there are no records for steelhead or Chinook salmon occurring in Marsh Creek in the 2015 CNDDB and occurrence on site for both species is considered unlikely, recent sightings of fall-run Chinook have been reported within Marsh Creek and suitable habitat for steelhead is present in the project area. Populations of listed salmonids have not been regularly observed in Marsh Creek; any present would be considered stray migrants. Listed salmonids have the greatest potential to occur within the project area between November and June based on the timing of adult and juvenile migrations in and through the waterways of the Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta (National Marine Fisheries Service 2012). Although the vast majority of construction activities would occur above the OHWM and during the dry season, some limited work such as restoration of habitat or site-specific armoring could occur in the low-flow channel. To the extent that this work in the low-flow channel requires either dewatering or excavation, take of steelhead or Chinook could occur. Neither of these species is covered under the HCP/NCCP and direct and indirect impacts to either steelhead or Chinook would be considered significant. To ensure there is no take of either of these species if work in the low-flow channel becomes necessary, Mitigation Measure BIO-2 would be implemented and impacts would be reduced to less than significant. In addition, consultation with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) will confirm these measures are sufficient; otherwise, additional measures may be implemented as appropriate. Once the proposed improvements are constructed, the project would not impede or interfere with fish movement. In fact the project would improve conditions for movement of fish species in this area. Mitigation Measure BIO-2: To minimize and avoid impacts to Chinook salmon and steelhead, the following measures will be implemented: 1. Seasonal Avoidance. In-stream work shall be limited to June 1 to October31. 2. In-Stream Activities: If in-stream construction or dewatering is required, the following precautionary measures should be implemented: a. A preconstruction survey of the aquatic environment shall be performed by a qualified biologist. b. A qualified biologist shall present an environmental awareness program working on site. c. A qualified biologist should monitor all in-stream activities. d. If dewatering is proposed, a qualified biologist should monitor the installation of coffer dams. During dewatering, a qualified biologist should check for stranded aquatic wildlife. Dewatering pumps must be fitted with intake screens with a mesh no greater than 5 mm (0.2 in) and BMPs will be installed to minimize sediment transport during installation of coffer dams. CCCFDWCD 40 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 e. Native species (non-special-status fish species) should be relocated upstream or downstream of the cofferdams by a permitted biologist. Non-native species should be euthanized in accordance with the guidance of the CDFW. All wildlife encounters should be documented and reported to the CDFW. If listed salmonids are present, the NMFS shall be consulted to determine the appropriate measures to ensure conformance with ESA. Migratory and Special-status Birds The project site trees, shrubs, vines, and grasslands provide suitable nesting habitat for four special-status bird species (Swainson’s hawk, white-tailed kite, burrowing owl, and loggerhead shrike) as well as many other migratory bird species. As noted earlier, during site reconnaissance surveys, an occupied nesting burrow of burrowing owl was observed in the study area, and a foraging Swainson’s hawk was observed on the ground, perching and directly overhead during the survey. Ground disturbing activities such as grubbing, grading, trenching, and tree removal or pruning could result in direct or indirect impacts to nesting birds by causing the destruction or abandonment of occupied nests and mortality of young. In addition, noise from construction activities could disrupt active nests. Any direct or indirect impact on an active nest of the special- status bird species or species protected by the MBTA and CFGC would be a potentially significant impact. Implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-3 would reduce impacts to nesting birds to less than significant. Mitigation Measure BIO-3: In order to avoid impacts to nesting Swainson’s hawk, white-tailed kite, burrowing owl, loggerhead shrike, and other bird species protected under the MBTA and CFGC during project implementation, the measures outlined below shall be implemented. 1) Environmental Awareness Program. Prior to the commencement of construction activities, a qualified biologist shall present an environmental awareness program to all construction personnel working on site. At a minimum the training shall include a description of special-status species that could be encountered, their habitats, regulatory status, protective measures, work boundaries, lines of communication, reporting requirements, and the implications of violations of applicable laws. 2) Swainson’s hawk is a federally listed threatened species and is covered under the HCP/NCCP. Nonetheless, every effort should be made to ensure that no take of Swainson’s hawk occurs. Therefore, the measures outlined below should be implemented. a) The project proponent should apply for coverage under the HCP/NCCP. Participation in the HCP/NCCP would provide the applicant with incidental take coverage for Swainson’s hawk and satisfy any requirements for mitigation for loss of habitat. b) Prior to any ground disturbance during the nesting season (March 15- September 15), a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey no more than one month prior to construction to determine if there are any CCCFDWCD 41 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 active Swainson’s hawk nests within 305 meters (1,000 feet) of the project site. c) If there are no occupied nests within this buffer, no further action is needed. d) If an active nest is present within this buffer, the measures outlined below shall be followed.  Construction activities are not permitted within 305 meters (1,000 feet) of an occupied nest to prevent nest abandonment. However, if site-specific conditions or the nature of the activity warrant a small buffer, a qualified biologist should coordinate with CDFW and USFWS to determine the appropriate buffer size.  Construction activities may proceed prior to September 15 if the young Swainson’s hawks have fledged, as determined by a qualified biologist. 3) White-tailed kite is a state-listed fully protected species; it is not covered under the HCP/NCCP and incidental take of the species is not allowed. To ensure that no take of white-tailed kite or other migratory raptors occurs, the measures outlined below shall be implemented. a) Prior to any ground disturbance during the nesting season (February 1- August 31), a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey no more than two weeks prior to construction to determine if there are any active nests of white-tailed kite or other migratory raptors within 76 meters (250 feet) of the project site. b) Prior to the removal or significant pruning of any trees, they shall be inspected by a qualified biologist for the presence of raptor nests. This is required during both the breeding season and non-breeding season. If a suspected raptor nest is discovered, the CDFW shall be notified. Pursuant to CFGC Section 3503.5, raptor nests, whether or not they are occupied, may not be removed until approval is granted by the CDFW. c) If there are no occupied nests within this buffer, no further action is needed. d) If an active nest is present within this buffer, the measures outlined below shall be implemented.  Construction activities are not permitted within 76 meter (250 feet) of an occupied nest to prevent nest abandonment. However, if site-specific conditions or the nature of the activity warrant a small buffer, a qualified biologist should coordinate with the CDFW and/or USFWS to determine the appropriate buffer size. Nest monitoring may be warranted for activities that would occur within a smaller buffer.  Construction activities may proceed prior to August 31 if the young white-tailed kites or other raptor species have fledged, as determined by a qualified biologist. 4) Burrowing owl is a State species of special concern and a covered species under the HCP/NCCP. To ensure that no take of burrowing owl occurs, the measures outlined below shall be implemented. CCCFDWCD 42 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 a) Prior to any ground disturbance during the nesting season (February 1- August 31), a CDFW-approved biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey of all suitable burrowing owl habitat that would be affected by the project. The survey shall be performed no more than 30 days prior to construction to determine if there are any active nests of burrowing owl within 153 m (500 ft) of the project site, access permitting. b) If there are no occupied nests within this buffer, no further action is needed. c) If an active nest is present within this buffer, the measures outlined below shall be implemented.  If an occupied burrowing owl nest site is present within the limits of work, construction may not proceed. The taking of burrowing owls or occupied nests is prohibited under CFGC.6 Nest sites must be flagged and protected by a designated disturbance-free buffer zone of at least 76 meters (250 feet).  Construction activities are not permitted within 76 meters (250 feet) of an occupied nest to prevent nest abandonment.  Construction may proceed if a qualified biologist monitors the nest and determines that the adults have not begun egg-laying and incubation or that the juveniles have fledged.  Burrowing owls may be passively excluded from occupied burrows outside of the breeding season (i.e., September 1-January 31), in consultation with the CDFW. All owls should be passively excluded from burrows within 49 meters (160 feet) of the work site. Passive exclusion is achieved by installing one-way doors in the burrow entrances. Doors should be in place for at least 48 hours and the site should be monitored daily for at least one week to confirm that the burrow has been abandoned. 5) Loggerhead shrike is a state species of special concern; it is not covered under the HCP/NCCP and incidental take of the species is not allowed. To ensure that no take of loggerhead shrike or any other migratory passerines occurs, the measures outlined below shall be implemented. a) If ground-disturbing activities (i.e., site clearing, disking, grading, etc.) can be performed outside of the nesting season (i.e., between September 1 and January 31), no additional surveys are warranted. b) Prior to any ground disturbance during the nesting season (February 1- August 31), a qualified biologist should conduct a preconstruction survey no more than two weeks prior to construction to determine if there are any active nests of loggerhead shrike or any other migratory passerines nests within 30 meters (100 feet) of the project site. 6 CFGC §§3503, 3503.5 and 3800 CCCFDWCD 43 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 c) If there are no occupied nests within this buffer, no further action is needed. d) If an active nest is present within this buffer, the following measures shall be implemented.  Construction activities are not permitted within 30 meters (100 feet) of an occupied nest to prevent nest abandonment. However, if site-specific conditions or the nature of the activity warrant a smaller buffer, a qualified biologist should coordinate with the CDFW and USFWS to determine the appropriate buffer size. Nest monitoring may be warranted for activities that would occur within a smaller buffer.  Construction activities may proceed prior to August 31 if the young birds have fledged, as determined by a qualified biologist. f. Sensitive natural communities recorded from the project region include alkali meadow, alkali seep, cismontane alkali marsh, coastal and valley freshwater marsh, coastal brackish marsh, northern claypan vernal pool, stabilized interior dunes, valley needlegrass grassland, and valley sink scrub (Wood 2016). However, there are no known special-status natural communities on the project site. Although the project would involve the removal of some limited riparian habitat along the creek in order to widen the channel, substantially greater riparian habitat would be created by converting the creek channel to a more natural channel and planting the banks with riparian trees and plant species. Thus, the impact of the project on sensitive natural communities and riparian habitat would be less than significant. g. During the 2015 site visits, a preliminary delineation of jurisdictional waters of the U.S. and waters of the State was performed.7 Marsh Creek is expected to qualify as a water of the U.S. and a water of the State. Thus, as currently proposed, the project would result in impacts to jurisdictional waters. Impacts to the channel are regulated and fall under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and the CDFW. The proposed project would grade back both banks of Marsh Creek to an elevation just above the OHWM. The total length of channel to be altered is 4,000 feet. The impact on federal and state waters would be potentially significant. With the implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-4, project impacts to jurisdictional waters would be reduced to a less than significant level. Mitigation Measure BIO-4: In order to avoid, minimize and compensate for unavoidable impacts on waters of the U.S./waters of the State, the measures outlined below shall be implemented. 7 Methods were in accordance with the procedures outlined in Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region (USACE, 2008). Determination of the limits of the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) conformed to procedures outlined in USACE (2006). CCCFDWCD 44 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 1) Impacts on waters of the U.S. will be avoided by restricting grading to an elevation above the OHWM; avoidance of impacts to waters of the State is not feasible. Long-term impacts shall be minimized by limiting the use of hardened structures (e.g., grouted riprap) in preference of bio-engineering solutions as much as is practicable. Surface water connections must not be permanently blocked or interrupted and the installation of drop-structures or other features that create barriers to wildlife movement shall be avoided. 2) Prior to construction, the project proponent will need to secure authorization from the USACE, RWQCB, and CDFW in conformance to the Clean Water Act and Lake and Streambed Alteration Program. 3) Participation in the HCP/NCCP is expected to satisfy the requirements of the regulatory agencies for compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts on stream channels, wetlands and riparian habitat. A Planning Survey Report shall be completed and submitted to the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy. The submittal shall include detailed drawings illustrating all temporary and permanent impacts. 4) Per the terms of the adopted HCP/NCCP, a wetland mitigation fee or on-site habitat restoration will mitigate the impacts. If accepted by the regulatory agencies, no additional mitigation for wetland impacts is typically required. HCP/NCCP fee payment will occur at project contract award. 5) For all work within and adjacent to the stream channel and riparian habitat, best management practices (BMPs) must be incorporated into the project design to minimize environmental effects. These include the following:  Construction in the active channels shall be restricted to the dry season (April 15-October 15).  Personnel conducting ground-disturbing activities within or adjacent to the buffer zone of wetlands, ponds, streams, or riparian woodland/scrub shall be trained by a qualified biologist in these avoidance and minimization measures and the permit obligations.  If dewatering is necessary, water released downstream of work areas must be as clean or cleaner than flows entering the work area. Sediment-laden water shall be either pumped onto upland sites for infiltration or into Baker tanks for settling, prior to being released back into the channel. Coffer dams shall consist of clean, silt-free sand or gravel in sand bags, or a comparable material. All coffer dam materials must be promptly removed when no longer needed.  High visibility temporary construction fencing should be erected between the outer edge of the limits of construction and adjacent streams or habitats to be preserved. Temporary construction fencing will be removed upon the completion of work.  Grading or construction near channels shall be isolated with silt fencing or other BMPs to prevent sedimentation. BMPs shall be regularly inspected.  Vehicles and equipment shall be parked on existing roads or previously disturbed areas. CCCFDWCD 45 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016  Equipment working in channels must be in good working order and free of leaks of fuel, oil, and hydraulic fluids. Drip pans shall be placed under vehicles and equipment over waterways and spill clean-up materials should be kept onsite at a convenient location.  Equipment maintenance and refueling shall be performed well away from the top of bank of any channel; storm drain inlets shall be protected from an accidental release of contaminants.  Concrete washings or other contaminants must not be permitted to enter the stream channel or any storm drain inlet.  Any concrete structures or cured-in-place pipe linings shall be allowed to cure before coming in contact with surface flows.  Construction debris and materials shall be stockpiled away from watercourses.  Appropriate erosion-control measures (e.g., coconut coir matting, tackified hydroseeding, blown straw or other organic mulching material) shall be used on site to reduce siltation and runoff of contaminants into wetlands, ponds, streams, or riparian woodland/scrub. Plastic mono-filament netting (e.g., that used with erosion control matting) or similar material should not be used within the action area; wildlife can become entangled or trapped such non- biodegradable materials. Erosion-control measures shall be placed between the outer edge of the buffer and the project site.  Fiber rolls used for erosion control shall be certified as free of noxious weed seed.  Construction staging areas past the channel banks must be located away from any wetlands or other sensitive habitats as identified by a qualified biologist.  Newly graded earthen channel slopes shall be revegetated with a native seed mix developed by a qualified restorationist. Seed mixtures applied for erosion control shall not contain invasive nonnative species, and be composed of native species or sterile nonnative species. Straw or mulch shall also be applied to all bare surfaces. The seed mix and mulch shall be applied prior to the onset of the first winter-season rains.  Herbicide shall not be applied within 30 meters (100 feet) of wetlands, ponds, streams, or riparian habitat. However, where appropriate to control serious invasive plants, herbicides that have been approved by the U.S. EPA for use in or adjacent to aquatic habitats may be used as long as label instructions are followed and applications avoid or minimize impacts on covered species and their habitats. In seasonal or intermittent stream or wetland environments, appropriate herbicides may be applied during the dry season to control nonnative invasive species. Herbicide drift should be minimized by applying the herbicide as close to the target area as possible and by avoiding applying during windy days.  Additional measures may be outlined in the conditions of the permits issued by the USACE, RWQCB, CDFW, and the Habitat Conservancy. All permit conditions must be conformed to. CCCFDWCD 46 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 d. As mentioned above, limited construction work could occur in the low-flow channel and take of steelhead or Chinook could occur. To ensure there is no take of either of these species if work in the low-flow channel becomes necessary, Mitigation Measure BIO-2 would be implemented to ensure temporary impacts to wildlife movement would be less than significant. Consultation with National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) would be conducted by the USACE during the USACE permit application process. Marsh Creek is not part of an uninterrupted riparian corridor and although it is contiguous with extensive open shoreline lands downstream, it connects to the uppermost part of the watershed only after passing through commercial, industrial and residential development and numerous culvert outfalls. Much of the Lower Reach of Marsh Creek lacks significant riffles, pools, irregular bank features, and overhanging vegetation that provide suitable cover or refuge for resident or dispersing wildlife. Furthermore, the adjacent residential neighborhoods and commercial development bring predators such as pets, feral animals, and those attracted to human habitation. Increased human activity, noise, and lighting further inhibit the movements of wildlife species. For these reasons, the section of Marsh Creek that constitutes the project site is not expected to serve as a significant wildlife corridor. Although, construction activities would disturb wildlife that use the creek in the project area this disturbance would be temporary. Furthermore, the implementation of the proposed habitat restoration and enhancement project would serve to improve the quality of available habitat for wildlife use, including movement of fish species. Thus, less than significant impacts to wildlife movement would occur. e. The natural vegetation within the project area consists of annual grasses and forbs with a few scattered oaks. Project implementation would require removal of predominantly ruderal vegetation consisting of herbaceous annual and perennial grasses and forbs. Trees planned for removal include one valley oak (dbh8 estimated to be 40 inches), two live oaks (14-inch dbh), and 5-10 non-native trees (8-inch dbh). The City of Brentwood Oak Tree Preservation Ordinance requires that any healthy oak trees (4-inch dbh or greater) that are removed within Planned Development 20 (PD-20) areas shall be replaced with 48-inch box blue oak trees with a canopy width of 7 to 8 feet and a height of 17 feet. The ordinance requires that all trees shall be planted in public lands, the golf course, open space areas or view easements. Although the proposed project is not subject to the City’s tree ordinance, trees to be planted along the creek would still comply with tree replacement standards and would provide a greater number of trees than are currently on-site. A key component of the proposed project is to plant numerous trees alongside the creek to provide shade for pedestrians utilizing the Marsh Creek Trail and to shade waters within the creek to improve water quality. Thus, the impact would be less than significant. f. The East Contra Costa County HCP/NCCP was adopted in August of 2007. The HCP/NCCP provides a framework to protect natural resources in eastern Contra Costa County, while improving and streamlining the environmental permitting process for impacts on endangered species. Rather than individually surveying, negotiating, and securing mitigation, project proponents will receive required permits by paying a fee (and/or dedicating land) and adhering 8 Diameter of a tree measured at breast height or approximately 4.5 feet from the ground. CCCFDWCD 47 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 to Plan-required avoidance and minimization measures. Fees are paid into two separate reserves, a Development Fee and a Wetland Fee. The Development Fee requires payment based on a cost per acre for all acres converted to non-habitat with the cost per acre based on the HCP fee zone. The proposed project does not propose any building or structure development and would not convert any areas to non-habitat. Nonetheless, the project would temporarily disturb habitat and potentially affect covered species and payment of the Development Fee would be required. The Wetland Fee requires payment based on the amount and type of wetland or waters affected. The proposed project would comply with the HCP/NCCP and project impacts to species, habitat, and wetlands would be mitigated through the payment of Wetland Impact fees to the HCP/NCCP (or on-site habitat restoration). Therefore, the proposed project would not conflict with the provisions of an adopted HCP/NCCP and there would be no impact.                                         THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK    CCCFDWCD 48 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 5.5 Cultural Resources 5.5.1 Background The project area is situated on the western margin of California's Central Valley, one of two principal grassland communities that exist in California. The combination of the climate and arable soils has produced rich farmland leading to extensive agricultural use of the region, which has resulted in the disappearance of much of the original marsh and grassland community. Annual precipitation in the region is 6 to 29 inches. The climate is Mediterranean and temperatures in the summer are high (WSA 2016). No standing structures are present on the project site. On November 10, 2015, WSA conducted a records search for the project at the Northwest Information Center at Sonoma State University (NWIC) (File No. 15-0613). The records search included a review of cultural resource and excavation reports and recorded cultural resources within 1/4-mile radius of the project area. The records search also included a review of the Office of Historic Preservation Directory. A total of two cultural resources studies have been conducted within the project area, and a total five cultural resources studies have been conducted within 1/4-mile radius of the project. The records search indicated that no previously recorded resources are within the project area. One previously recorded resource, the Union9 Pacific Railroad (P-07-000813), is located within 1/4-mile of the project area. The resource is a segment of the historic Union Pacific Railroad6 whose alignment has been recorded in a number of different locations. WSA Staff Archaeologist David Buckley conducted a field reconnaissance of the proposed project area on November 17, 2015. The survey began at the southeast corner of the project area at the intersection of Dainty Avenue and proceeded north along the eastern side of Marsh Creek. The survey proceeded around the north end of the project area and then continued south along the west side of Marsh Creek, terminating back at Dainty Avenue. No prehistoric or historic deposits were observed during the archaeological survey and no evidence of prehistoric cultural soils (midden) was observed during the archaeological survey (WSA 2016). 5.5.2 Environmental Checklist and Discussion CULTURAL RESOURCES Would the project… Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Mitigation Less than Significant Impact No Impact a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in Section 15064.5? 9 The railroad is listed as Union Pacific in the record but actually is currently known as Southern Pacific Railroad. CCCFDWCD 49 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5? c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? e) Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource as defined in Public Resources Code 21074? DISCUSSION: a. The project site consists of a section along Marsh Creek and the Marsh Creek Trail. The site does not contain buildings or structures that would qualify as historic al resources. No impact on a structure or feature of the built environment that qualifies as a historical resource would occur. b.,d. As noted above, no recorded archaeological resources are known from the project area. No prehistoric or historic deposits were observed during the archaeological survey and no evidence of prehistoric cultural soils (midden) was observed during the archaeological survey. However, given that associated grave goods and human remains have been identified at various places along the banks of Marsh Creek at other locations, all of the areas immediately adjacent to Marsh Creek are considered sensitive for prehistoric archaeological deposits. Therefore, project impacts to unknown cultural resources or human remains would be potentially significant. Mitigation Measure CUL-1 would reduce the impacts to unknown historic and prehistoric archaeological resources and human remains to a less than significant level. Mitigation Measure CUL-1: Crew training, initial monitoring by a qualified archaeologist to determine an appropriate level of monitoring for the duration of the project, and additional spot checks pending the results of the initial monitoring shall be conducted prior to and during ground disturbing activities. A qualified archaeologist shall be present on the project site to monitor ground disturbing activities and inspect excavated soils to identify any cultural resources and human remains as deemed appropriate by the qualified archaeologist. All construction crew workers shall attend a training session led by a qualified archaeologist that discusses (1) the reasons for archaeological resource monitoring; (2) regulatory policies protecting resources and human remains; (3) basic identification of archaeological resources; and (4) the protocol to follow in case of a discovery of such resources. CCCFDWCD 50 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 In accordance with CEQA Guideline §15064.5 (f), should any previously unknown historic or prehistoric resources, including but not limited to charcoal, obsidian or chert flakes, grinding bowls, shell fragments, bone, pockets of dark, friable soils, glass, metal, ceramics, wood, privies, trash deposits or similar debris, be discovered during ground disturbing activities, work within 25 feet of these materials should be stopped until a qualified professional archaeologist has an opportunity to evaluate the potential significance of the find and to consult with the lead agency about what appropriate mitigation would be appropriate to protect the resource. In the event that human remains, or possible human remains, are encountered during project-related ground disturbance, in any location other than a dedicated cemetery, there shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent remains until the coroner of the county in which the human remains are discovered has determined, that the remains are not subject to the provisions of Section 27492 of the Government Code or any other related provisions of law concerning investigation of the circumstances, manner and cause of death, and the recommendations concerning treatment and disposition of the human remains have been made to the person responsible for the excavation, or to his or her authorized representative, in the manner provided in Section 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code. The County Coroner, upon recognizing the remains as being of Native American origin, is responsible to contact the NAHC within 24 hours. The Commission has various powers and duties, including the appointment of a Most Likely Descendant (MLD) to the project. The MLD, or in lieu of the MLD, the NAHC, has the responsibility to provide guidance as to the ultimate disposition of any Native American remains. c. There are no known significant fossil deposits or paleontological resources located in the City of Brentwood (City of Brentwood 2014a). However, the geologic conditions within the city provide suitable conditions for the possibility of fossils to exist at depths of five to 10 feet below ground surface. The project site is mapped as Quaternary-aged alluvial deposits. Geologic formations, including various Quaternary subunits have a high to moderate potential for paleontological resources (City of Brentwood 2014a). Therefore, excavation on the project site could potentially inadvertently unearth and damage paleontological resources. Project impacts to paleontological resources would be potentially significant. Mitigation Measure CUL-2 would be implemented to reduce the impact on paleontological resources to a less than significant level. Mitigation Measure CUL-2: Prior to project construction, construction personnel shall be informed of the potential for encountering significant paleontological resources. All construction personnel shall be informed of the need to stop work in the vicinity of a potential discovery until a qualified paleontologist has been provided the opportunity to assess the significance of the find and implement appropriate measures to protect or scientifically remove the find. Construction personnel shall also be informed of the requirements that unauthorized collection resources are prohibited. e. Assembly Bill (AB) 52, which came into effect on July 1, 2015, requires that lead agencies consider the effects of projects on tribal cultural resources and conduct consultation with federally and CCCFDWCD 51 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 non-federally recognized Native American tribes early in the environmental review process. According to AB 52, it is the responsibility of the tribes to formally request of a lead agency that they be notified of projects in the lead agency’s jurisdiction so that they may request consultation. One tribe, Wilton Rancheria, has contacted the District 10 requesting notification regarding projects proposed by the County. A letter was sent to Wilton Rancheria in October 2015 and no responses have been received to date. Although at this time, no other tribes have contacted the District requesting notification, the District proactively contacted the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) to obtain a list of Native American individuals and organizations that may have knowledge of or interest in tribal cultural resources in the project area. On February 1, 2016, WSA sent out letters to Native American tribes identified by NAHC notifying them of the proposed project and followed up with phone calls. Comments and recommendations were received from three Native American contacts. Ms. Zwierlein representing the Amah/Mutsun Tribal Band recommended construction to proceed with caution and call an archaeologist, if needed. Ms. Sayers representing the Indian Canyon Mutsun Band of Costanoan recommended archaeological and Native American monitoring during ground disturbance. Ms. Cambra representing the Muwekma Ohlone Indian Tribe of the SF Bay Area recommended consultation with the lead agency and asked for a report on how they responded to the archaeologist's recommendations. A record of the Native American consultation can be found in the 2016 Cultural Resources Assessment Report. The District has determined that with the mitigation measures outlined above, the proposed project would not affect any known tribal cultural resources in the area. The impact would be less than significant. 10 The District is coordinating with Native American tribes on behalf of the County. CCCFDWCD 52 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 5.6 Geology and Soils 5.6.1 Background The project area is mapped as Quaternary-aged alluvial deposits. These soils are described as surficial sediments of alluvial clay and loam. Over the majority of the project site, soils encountered include clay with varying amounts of sand, silt, and gravel. The site is generally covered by seasonal grasses and weeds (ENGEO 2015). The existing Marsh Creek Trail consists of asphalt and landscaped gravels covering the surface. 5.6.2 Environmental Checklist and Discussion GEOLOGY and SOILS Would the project… Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Mitigation Less than Significant Impact No Impact a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist- Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42. ii) Strong seismic ground shaking? iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? iv) Landslides? b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property? e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater? CCCFDWCD 53 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 DISCUSSION: a. i. The San Francisco Bay Area contains numerous active earthquake faults. Numerous small earthquakes occur every year in the San Francisco Bay Region, and larger earthquakes have been recorded and can be expected to occur in the future. The project site is not located within a currently designated Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone and no known surface expression of active faults is believed to exist within the project site. The nearest active faults are the Greenville fault and Mount Diablo Thrust fault, located approximately 8 miles and 15 miles to the west, respectively. The two faults are considered capable of a moment magnitude earthquake of 7.0 and 6.7, respectively. Additionally, the Great Valley fault, a buried thrust fault, underlies the general Brentwood area. The location of the Great Valley fault is inferred from regional data; the fault does not extend to the ground surface and its location is not accurately known (ENGEO 2015). Although the project site lies within a seismically active region, there are no known active faults crossing the project site and the site is not located within an Earthquake Fault Zone. Therefore, ground rupture is unlikely at the project site and the impact would be less than significant. a. ii. The project site could experience ground shaking due to an earthquake of moderate to high magnitude generated within the San Francisco Bay Region, similar to that which has occurred in the past. Therefore, if cut slopes to create the floodplain and flood benches are steeper than 3:1, they could become unstable or collapse as a result of ground shaking. The impact would be potentially significant. The proposed project would implement Mitigation Measure GEO-1, which requires the project to comply with all recommendations specified in Section 3.3 of the Geotechnical Report, including those pertaining to slope construction, to reduce the potential for slope deformation in the event of an earthquake. Compliance with Mitigation Measure GEO-1 would ensure less than significant impacts from seismic ground shaking. Mitigation Measure GEO-1: The proposed project shall comply with all recommendations specified in Section 3.3 of the May 2015 Geotechnical Report prepared by ENGEO. a. iii. According to the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), the liquefaction susceptibility of the project site ranges from moderate to very high. The liquefaction susceptibility is high along the northeastern portion of the site adjacent to the railroad and very high along Marsh Creek. However, during field explorations conducted by ENGEO on December 9, 2014, no materials that would be classified as susceptible to liquefaction that are situated above groundwater levels were encountered. Furthermore, the project does not include any structures that would be inhabited by people. Thus, the impact from liquefaction would be less than significant. a. iv. The proposed project site is relatively flat and not located in an area susceptible to landslides. Therefore, the proposed project would not be affected by landslides and no impact would occur. b. During construction activities, such as excavation of the creek channel, there could be potential for erosion and discharge of eroded sediment into Marsh Creek. Construction projects that involve disturbance of over 1.0 acre of land are required by law to seek coverage under the state’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Discharge of CCCFDWCD 54 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 Storm Water Associated with Construction Activity. As part of this permit, construction projects disturbing over 1.0 acre (such as the proposed project) are required to file a notice of intent (NOI) with the State Water Resources Control Board and implement a site-specific Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), which would specify Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce the contribution of sediments, spilled and leaked liquids from construction equipment, and other construction-related pollutants to project site runoff. The District on behalf of the County would have oversight responsibility over the three reaches and would have the authority to stop construction in the event the SWPPP is improperly implemented. As a result of compliance with the law related to construction site runoff, the impact related to soil erosion during construction would be less than significant. Upon project completion, implemented restoration activities would reduce flow velocities within the creek thereby reducing erosion potential. Replanting native riparian vegetation along the creek and wetland plants within the excavated floodplain benches would also prevent soil loss. Additionally, permanent slope protection would be installed on newly cut slopes to prevent long-term effects of erosion and weathering. Matting, armor, revegetation, or biotechnical methods would be installed at the completion of slope construction and selected erosion control material would provide soil stabilization and promote vegetation growth. Thus, impacts from soil erosion following project completion would be less than significant. c. As noted above, no liquefiable materials were observed on the project site. Lateral spreading is a failure within a nearly horizontal soil zone (possibly due to liquefaction) that causes the overlying soil mass to move toward a free face or down a gentle slope. Due to the lack of liquefiable materials encountered at the site, the potential for lateral spread is also low. Therefore, the project site is not underlain by unstable soils and impacts are less than significant. d. Near surface soils on the project site exhibit high expansion potential with a Plasticity Index (PI) value of 34 with a Liquid Limit of 51, as documented by Terrasearch in a boring just east of the Sand Creek confluence. Expansive soils shrink and swell as a result of moisture changes, which can cause soil heaving and cracking. No buildings are proposed as part of the project, and furthermore, the proposed project would implement Mitigation Measure GEO-1, which requires the project to comply with all recommendations specified in Section 3.3 of the Geotechnical Report. There would be a less than significant impact from expansive soils. e. No septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems are included in the proposed project, and there would be no impact.                                         THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK    CCCFDWCD 55 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 5.7 Greenhouse Gas Emissions 5.7.1 Background General Global climate change refers to any significant change in climate measurements, such as temperature, precipitation, or wind, lasting for an extended period (i.e., decades or longer) (U.S. EPA 2014). Climate change may result from:  natural factors, such as changes in the sun’s intensity or slow changes in the Earth’s orbit around the sun;  natural processes within the climate system (e.g., changes in ocean circulation, reduction in sunlight from the addition of greenhouse gas (GHG) and other gases to the atmosphere from volcanic eruptions); and  human activities that change the atmosphere’s composition (e.g., through burning fossil fuels) and the land surface (e.g., deforestation, reforestation, urbanization, desertification). The primary change in global climate has been a rise in the average global tropospheric temperature of 0.2 degree Celsius per decade, determined from meteorological measurements worldwide between 1990 and 2005. Climate change modeling using 2000 emission rates shows that further warming is likely to occur, which would induce further changes in the global climat e system during the current century (IPCC 2007). Changes to the global climate system and ecosystems, and to California, could include declining sea ice and mountain snowpack levels, rising average global sea levels, and many other potentially severe problems (IPCC 2007). The natural process through which heat is retained in the troposphere 11 is called the “greenhouse effect.” The greenhouse effect traps heat in the troposphere through a threefold process as follows: (1) short-wave radiation in the form of visible light emitted by the Sun is absorbed by the Earth as heat; (2) long-wave radiation is re-emitted by the Earth; and (3) GHGs in the upper atmosphere absorb or trap the long-wave radiation and re-emit it back towards the Earth and into space. This third process is the focus of current climate change actions. While water vapor and carbon dioxide (CO2) are the most abundant GHGs, other trace GHGs have a greater ability to absorb and re-radiate long-wave radiation. To gauge the potency of GHGs, scientists have established a Global Warming Potential (GWP) for each GHG based on its ability to absorb and re-emit long-wave radiation over a specific period. The GWP of a gas is determined using CO2 as the reference gas, which has a GWP of 1 over 100 years (IPCC 1996).12 For example, a gas with a GWP of 10 is 10 times more potent than CO 2 over 100 years. The use of GWP allows GHG emissions to be reported using CO2 as a baseline. The sum of each GHG 11 The troposphere is the bottom layer of the atmosphere, which varies in height from the Earth’s surface to 10 to 12 kilometers). 12 All Global Warming Potentials are given as 100-year values. CCCFDWCD 56 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 multiplied by its associated GWP is referred to as “carbon dioxide equivalents” (CO2e). This essentially means that 1 metric ton of a GHG with a GWP of 10 has the same climate change impacts as 10 metric tons of CO2. Regulatory Setting In 2005, in recognition of California’s vulnerability to the effects of climate chang e, then- Governor Schwarzenegger established Executive Order S-3-05, which sets forth a series of target dates by which statewide emissions of GHGs would be progressively reduced, as follows: by 2010, reduce GHG emissions to 2000 levels (approximately 457 MMTCO2e); by 2020, reduce emissions to 1990 levels (estimated at 427 MMTCO2e); and by 2050 reduce statewide GHG emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels (approximately 85 MMTCO2e). In response, the California legislature passed Assembly Bill No. 32 in 2006 (California Health and Safety Code Division 25.5, Sections 38500, et seq., or AB 32), also known as the Global Warming Solutions Act. AB 32 requires ARB to design and implement emission limits, regulations, and other measures, such that feasible and cost-effective statewide GHG emissions are reduced to 1990 levels by 2020 (representing a 25 percent reduction from forecast emission levels) (OPR 2008). Pursuant to AB 32, ARB adopted a Scoping Plan in December 2008, outlining measures to meet the 2020 GHG reduction limits. Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32) Climate Change Scoping Plan indicates how reductions in significant GHG sources will be achieved through regulations, market mechanisms, and other actions. The AB 32 Scoping Plan recommendations are intended to curb projected business-as-usual growth in GHG emissions and reduce those emissions to 1990 levels. 5.7.2 Environmental Checklist and Discussion GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS Would the project… Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Mitigation Less than Significant Impact No Impact a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose or reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? DISCUSSION: a. Implementation of the proposed project would result in small increases of GHG emissions that are associated with global climate change. Estimated GHG emissions attributable to the proposed project would be primarily associated with increases of CO 2 from mobile sources including construction haul trucks (to off-haul excavated materials), and equipment used during the construction of the proposed project. There would be minimal operational GHG emissions for reasons presented below. CCCFDWCD 57 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 Construction During implementation of creek restoration activities, GHGs would be emitted from the operation of construction equipment and from construction worker vehicles and haul truck trips to and from the project site. GHG emissions during construction were estimated using the CalEEMod model. Based on CalEEMod, construction activities on the project site would generate approximately 44.6 MTCO2e in 2017. There are no quantitative thresholds put forth by the BAAQMD for the evaluation of the significance of a project’s construction emissions. However, these estimated one-time emissions are lower than the 1,100 MTCO2e threshold that is put forth by the BAAQMD for the evaluation of the impact from a project’s operation emissions. Therefore, the emissions are considered too small to result in a significant change in global climate change. The impact from the construction phase GHG emissions associated with the proposed project would be less than significant. Operation A small number of periodic vehicle trips would be made to the project site initially for monitoring the success of the plantings and in the long run for creek maintenance. The number of vehicle trips to monitor the plantings would be minimal and would not substantially increase GHG emissions. The vehicle trips for creek maintenance would be about the same number as the trips currently made to the area by the District staff under current conditions. The impact from operational emissions would be less than significant. b. The proposed project would result in a minimal increase in GHG emissions, as described above. Therefore, the proposed project would not conflict with AB 32 or other state laws and regulations related to GHG emissions and the impact would be less than significant.                                         THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK    CCCFDWCD 58 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 5.8 Hazards and Hazardous Materials 5.8.1 Background Nearby land uses are primarily residential subdivisions, Willow Wood School/Dainty Center, city parks, and vacant lands planned for residential development and city parks. Historically, Marsh Creek has been highly modified by the District and various agricultural activities. Pesticides may be present in soils due to historic agricultural use of the site and surrounding areas. However, a Phase I ESA analysis prepared in 2003 for the adjacent Pulte project site, determined that DDE and DDT chlorinated pesticide concentrations on the Pulte project site were less than 0.079 parts per million (ppm), and DDT concentrations were less than the detection limit of 0.010 ppm (City of Brentwood 2014b). Existing hazardous materials use in the creek area is limited to the use of certain herbicides to control invasive species and use of fuel in vehicles used to access the various portions of the creek. 5.8.2 Environmental Checklist and Discussion HAZARDS & HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Would the project… Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Mitigation Less than Significant Impact No Impact a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? CCCFDWCD 59 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 DISCUSSION: Project a., b. There are no known environmental hazards on the project site. The proposed project would not involve routine use, storage, transport, and disposal of hazardous materials in any significant quantities. Small quantities of hazardous materials, including fuel for construction equipment would be used on-site during construction activities. All activities would comply with state and federal hazard and hazardous material regulations, thus the risk associated with the routine transport, use, and disposal of hazardous materials would be minimal. The impacts related to hazardous materials would be less than significant. c. Willow Wood School/Dainty Center is the nearest school to the project site, located approximately 50 feet to the east of the Upper Reach between Central Boulevard and Dainty Avenue. However, the proposed project would not involve handling of hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste. Therefore, less than significant impacts would occur. . d. According to CERCLIS, Geotracker, and EnviroStor database searches for known hazardous materials contamination, conducted on May 25, 2016, the project site is not located on a property associated with a hazardous site listed under Government Code Section 65962.5, also known as the Cortese List. As a result, the proposed project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment associated with a hazardous site listed under Government Code Section 65962.5. There would be no impact. e., f. The project site is not located within 2 miles of a public or private airport. The closest airport is the Byron Airport-C83 located approximately 8 miles southeast of the project site. No structures are proposed as part of the project. There would be no impact. g. Implementation of the proposed project would have no effect on emergency evacuation plans for the surrounding area. The project site is a 4,000 linear feet section of Marsh Creek. The surrounding area is primarily agricultural, residential, and vacant lands planned for residential development and city parks. Creek restoration activities would produce 24,000 cubic yards of excavated soils. About 4,000 cubic yards of the excavated soils would be used on-site as fill while the remaining 20,000 cubic yards would require haul trucks to transport and dispose of the f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? CCCFDWCD 60 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 materials off-site. Due to the volume involved and the provision in the project to stockpile the excavated materials and remove when needed, a large number of vehicle trips would not be generated that could interfere with emergency access to or from the areas adjoining the project site during construction. Access to the site would be from Griffith Lane, a cul‐de‐sac connecting to Central Boulevard or from the soon-to-be constructed Bella Drive and Island Palm Way within the Pulte Development east of the project site. Construction work and associated vehicle trips would not restrict access to or block any public roads and would not interfere with an adopted emergency response or evacuation plan. Additionally, the project contractor would be required to notify emergency personnel with construction details and schedule prior to the start of construction. The impact would be less than significant. h. The project site is located in a Non-Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone area and is designated as a Local Responsibility Area (CalFire 2009). Implementation of the proposed restoration activities would not result in the construction of structures on the project site or increase the site’s overall fire hazard severity. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not increase risks to the public from wildfires. There would be no impact.                                         THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK    CCCFDWCD 61 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 5.9 Hydrology and Water Quality 5.9.1 Background At the project location, Marsh Creek is a perennial, 4th order stream.13 The watershed originates in the Morgan Territory on the north side of Mt. Diablo and covers some 128 miles2. Marsh Creek flows for 30 miles and empties into the tidally influenced Dutch Slough, and then Big Break and the lower San Joaquin River (Wood 2016). Marsh Creek Dam, located near Briones Valley and approximately 3.9 miles upstream of the project, was constructed in 1963 and impounds runoff from approximately 38 percent of the Marsh Creek watershed. The four major tributaries draining into Marsh Creek are Briones Creek, Dry Creek, Deer Creek and Sand Creek. The confluence of Briones and Marsh Creeks is at the Marsh Creek Reservoir; Dry Creek flows into Marsh Creek approximately 0.5 mile upstream of the project site; and Deer and Sand Creeks flow into Marsh Creek within the project site. Historically, much of the lower reaches of Marsh Creek were dry in the summe r. Currently, flowing surface water is present from lower Marsh Creek to its mouth; these flows are made up primarily of water resulting from an elevated water table caused by runoff from agricultural and landscape irrigation and urban discharges (Wood 2016). The project site is located in FEMA Flood Zone AE, an area subject to inundation with a 1.0 percent annual-chance of flood (FEMA 2016). 5.9.2 Environmental Checklist and Discussion HYDROLOGY & WATER QUALITY Would the project… Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Mitigation Less than Significant Impact No Impact a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? 13 See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strahler_Stream_Order for descriptions of stream orders. CCCFDWCD 62 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site? d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site? e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? g) Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? h) Place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures which would impede or redirect flood flows? i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? DISCUSSION: a. During construction of the proposed project, there is a potential for increased erosion, sedimentation, and discharge of polluted runoff from the project site. As discussed in Response b in Section 5.6 above, NPDES requires that the proposed project develop and implement a SWPPP, including control measures (or Best Management Practices) to control erosion and release of sediment and other pollutants from the site. The SWPPP would ensure that construction activities would not cause an exceedance of the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board’s (RWQCB) water quality standards. As a result, the project’s construction activities would not result in an exceedance of a water quality standard and the impact would be less than significant. Operation of the proposed project would decrease creek flow velocities and erosion potential while improving water quality. The project would reduce the potential for erosion and sediment transport by lowering the water stage, reducing the velocity by widening the cross-sectional velocity of the channel, and establishing native riparian vegetation where compatible with the CCCFDWCD 63 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 flood management objectives. The planting of vegetation such as trees along the widened creek channel would provide shade for surface waters, thereby decreasing water temperatures and increasing the currently low dissolved oxygen levels. Thus, the proposed project would reduce erosion and improve water quality on the project site as compared to existing conditions. As a result, the project would not involve any activity that would result in an exceedance of a water quality standard and the impact would be less than significant. b. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in any groundwater extraction. Additionally, the restoration activities would not increase impervious surfaces on the project site, and therefore would not interfere with groundwater recharge. There would be no impact. c. Channel widening would reduce flow velocity and thereby reduce the potential for scour and erosion, although as noted in the Project Description, detailed hydraulic modeling may indicate that some bank armoring is necessary where the expanded channel will taper down to th e existing channel at the downstream project boundary or in other locations. By including appropriate erosion and scour control measures, lowering the water stage, reducing flow velocity by widening the creek channel, and establishing native riparian vegetation, the proposed project would reduce erosion potential of the creek section. The impact related to soil erosion would be less than significant. d. Implementation of the proposed project would not negatively impact Marsh Creek, its tributaries or alter drainage patterns of the surrounding area to cause excess runoff or floods. No impervious development would occur as part of the project that would increase the volume of storm water runoff. The project site is located in FEMA Flood Zone AE, an area subject to inundation with a 1.0 percent annual-chance of flood. The proposed project is an innovative non- structural approach to flood management that focuses on giving the creek more room to safely convey flood waters. Restoration activities would entail increasing the cross-sectional area of the stream channel by excavating earth along both banks of the Upper Reach and Middle Reach to create new floodplain benches and along the east bank of the Lower Reach to create a new 10 to 40 foot floodplain. The purpose of the channel widening is to create enough conveyance capacity to safely convey large flood flows known to Marsh Creek. The newly created flood benches and floodplain would be inundated when flows in the creek rise during typical storm that reoccur nearly annually. Thus, the proposed project would improve creek flow to reduce impacts from flood hazards. Impacts would be less than significant. e. As previously mentioned, the proposed project would be required to implement a SWPPP, which will include erosion and water pollution control measures, to control off-site sediment delivery during construction. As a result, the proposed project would not provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. Operational impacts to polluted runoff are discussed in Response a above. This impact is considered less than significant. f. Currently, poor water quality within the creek from urban run-off is made worse by the lack of wetlands, shade, and microbial activity. Relatively high temperatures combined with low dissolved oxygen levels have caused four major fish kills on Marsh Creek over the last nine years. As mentioned above, the proposed project would plant trees along the creek section to provide shade thereby decreasing water temperatures. Planting native riparian vegetation within the CCCFDWCD 64 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 widened creek would also help increase dissolved oxygen levels and improve water quality. Therefore, impacts would be beneficial and less than significant. g.-j. The project site is located within a federally designated 100-year flood hazard area. However, no housing or structures are proposed as part of the planned channel widening and restoration activities. The project site is not in an area that could be inundated by a seiche, tsunami, or mudflow. There would be no impact. CCCFDWCD 65 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 5.10 Land Use and Planning 5.10.1 Background The project is located along Marsh Creek in the City of Brentwood. Lands surrounding the project area are developed with residences and city parks, and vacant lands are planned for residential development and city parks. 5.10.2 Environmental Checklist and Discussion LAND USE & PLANNING Would the project… Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Mitigation Less than Significant Impact No Impact a) Physically divide an established community? b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan? DISCUSSION: a. Residential subdivisions are present on both sides of the creek and an approved subdivision is planned for the vacant land to the east of the Lower Reach. However, there is no established community located on the project site and due to the nature of the creek restoration project, no impact would occur. b. The project site is mapped as a waterway in the General Plan. The City’s General Plan is not applicable to the project. Furthermore, the project would not change the land use of the parcels that contain the creek. Therefore, there would be no impact. c. The proposed project is within the ECCC HCP/NCCP, and anticipated project impacts would be mitigated through the payment of a Development Fee and Wetland Impact fee (or on-site restoration) to the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy. Therefore, the proposed project would not conflict with the provisions of an adopted HCP or NCCP and there would be no impact.                                         THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK    CCCFDWCD 66 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 5.11 Mineral Resources 5.11.1 Background Within the City of Brentwood, mineral resources include sand, gravel, coal, oil, and gas. In general, sand is likely the most significant economic mineral deposit found. It is possible that significant deposits of coal and specialty sand remain in the western portion of Brentwood, within the Domengine sandstone. Oil and gas have been sporadically produced in the region since 1864 and are recovered from sands mostly of the Eocene age, at depths of approximately 4,000 feet. The potential for additional oil and gas reserves exists within the city. Dry gas is presently being produced in the northeast portion of Brentwood, and the potential for additional reserves exists throughout the area (City of Brentwood 2014a). Aggregate resource areas within the City of Brentwood are classified as either MRZ-1 or MRZ-4 in SMARA Mineral Land Classification Maps.14 Mineral resource extraction is not permitted under the Resource Management Directives of the Department of Parks and Recreation. There are no existing active oil or gas wells or mineral extraction on or in the vicinity of the project site. 5.11.2 Environmental Checklist and Discussion MINERAL RESOURCES Would the project… Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Mitigation Less than Significant Impact No Impact a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state? b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally- important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? DISCUSSION: a. - b. The project site is located along Marsh Creek. There are no mineral resources on the project site and no mineral extraction occurs or is known to have occurred on the project site. There would be no impact. 14 MRZ-4 are areas where available information is inadequate for assignment to any other MRZ classification. MRZ-1 Areas where adequate information indicates that no significant mineral deposits are present, or where it is judged that little likelihood exists for their presence.                                         THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK    CCCFDWCD 67 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 5.12 Noise 5.12.1 Background Noise-sensitive land uses generally include those uses where exposure to noise would result in adverse effects, as well as uses where quiet surroundings are an essential element of their intended purpose. Residential dwellings are of primary concern because of the potential for increased and prolonged exposure of individuals to both interior and exterior noise levels. Other noise-sensitive land uses include hospitals, convalescent facilities, parks, hotels, churches, libraries, and other uses where low interior noise levels are essential. The project site is located along Marsh Creek where the surrounding areas are being rapidly urbanized with residential and commercial uses. The primary noise sources in the project area include traffic noise from local roadways. The Union Pacific Railroad, located approximately 175 feet north of the Lower Reach is currently inactive . The closest highway, SR-4 is located approximately 2.2 miles west of the project site. Residential homes, a daycare center, city parks, and vacant lands are adjacent to the project site. The nearest sensitive receptors to the Upper Reach are located within Willow Wood School/Dainty Center and residential neighborhoods less than 50 feet to the east. There are also residential neighborhoods located approximately 100 feet to the west of Central Boulevard and Marsh Creek up to Deer Creek. Lands to the east of the Middle Reach are also developed with single-family residences and the nearest receptors are about 50 feet from the proposed construction activities. The nearest sensitive receptors to the Lower Reach are single-family homes and Sungold Park located less than 50 feet to the west. 5.12.2 Environmental Checklist and Discussion NOISE Would the project… Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Mitigation Less than Significant Impact No Impact a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels? c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? CCCFDWCD 68 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? DISCUSSION: a. The potential for construction noise to exceed the City of Brentwood noise standards are detailed in Response d below. Once the project is constructed, there would be no increase in operational noise in the project area due to the project. Creek restoration may increase visitors utilizing the Marsh Creek Trail. However this increase would not be substantial enough to cause noise levels to increase above the City’s noise standards. Thus, the impact would be less than significant. b. Channel widening and restoration activities would not require pile-driving, blasting, or other activities that could cause substantial groundborne vibration or noise. Project construction activities would include the use of tractors, loaders, excavators, graders, which are not sources of significant groundborne vibration or noise. Haul trucks could result in some level of vibration while hauling materials off-site. However, the vibrations would be the range that is experienced in urban areas from truck movement. The impact would be less than significant. c. Implementation of the proposed project would not add any new sources of noise to the project area. The creek section is currently maintained by the District and will continue to be upon project implementation, thereby not increasing vehicle trips for maintenance. In the first few years of project operation, monitoring of the restoration efforts would add a small number of vehicle trips to the project site. In addition, due to restoration of riparian vegetation along the creek banks and trail improvements, the project would improve the experience of the trail users as well as provide areas where trail users can stop in shade and enjoy the beauty of the creek. This may result in an increase in visitors to the creek and a resultant increase in vehicular traffic to parking facilities near Marsh Creek. However this increase would not be substantial compared to existing conditions. Therefore, there would not be a substantial permanent increase in noise levels related to mobile sources. The impact would be less than significant. d. Construction activities would require the use of tractors, loaders, excavators, graders, and haul trucks. The number of construction vehicle trips would increase, depending on the specific activity that is underway. Also the location of the construction activities would differ with each reach and all of the improvements may not be constructed within the same timeframe on all three reaches. Furthermore, sensitive receptors that are proximate to one reach would be affected by CCCFDWCD 69 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 the noise from construction on that reach and generally would not be affected by noise generated by the work on other reaches due to distance and attenuation. The area to the east of the Upper Reach is developed with residential neighborhoods that are less than 50 feet away from the proposed widening. A school and daycare center is also located on the east bank of the creek just north of Dainty Avenue. Land to the west between Dainty Avenue and Central Boulevard is owned by the District and is vacant. Residential neighborhoods are present to the west of Central Boulevard and Marsh Creek up to Deer Creek (approximately 100 feet from the proposed activities). Construction activities in the Upper Reach would take place over the short timeframe of about 2 weeks. Lands to the east of the Middle Reach are also developed with single-family residences and the nearest receptors are about 50 feet from the proposed construction activities. Lands to the west of the Middle Reach are vacant and no sensitive receptors are present in that area. Construction activities in the Middle Reach would take place over 1 to 2 weeks. Lands to the east of the Lower Reach are undeveloped at this time although future city parks are planned adjacent to the creek and the remaining area is the site of the approved Pulte residential subdivision. Single-family homes and a city park (Sungold Park) are located to the west of the Lower Reach (less than 50 feet). Construction activities would take place over about 4 weeks. Construction activities and traffic would cause temporary increases in noise due to site grading, use of construction equipment, and operation of construction vehicles. Construction equipment would be operated intermittently over the course of construction on each reach. Routine noise levels from conventional construction activities (with a typical mix and number of pieces of equipment operating on the site) range from 75 to 86 dB(A) equivalent continuous noise level (Leq) at a distance of 50 feet, from 69 to 80 dB(A) Leq at a distance of 100 feet, from 55 to 66 dB(A) Leq at a distance of 500 feet, and 48 to 60 dB(A) Leq at a distance of 1,000 feet. Noise levels at the nearest sensitive receptors are likely to be lower because the small size of the project would require only a few pieces of construction equipment and they would be operating for a relatively short time during the construction period. Nonetheless, noise from channel widening and restoration activities could impact the surrounding residences, school and daycare center, and park facilities that are located less than 50 feet from various work areas along the creek section. However, with implementation of Mitigation Measure NOISE-1, which requires the project to comply with the Brentwood Noise Ordinance and limits construction activities to daytime hours, the impact would be less than significant. Mitigation Measure NOISE-1 The project contractor shall ensure that construction activities shall be limited to the hours set forth in Brentwood Municipal Code Section 9.32.050, as follows: Outside Heavy Construction: Monday-Friday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Saturday 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM CCCFDWCD 70 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 e., f. The project site is not located within 2 miles of a public or private airport. The closest airport is the Byron Airport-C83 located approximately 8 miles southeast of the project site. No structures are proposed as part of the project. There would be no impact. CCCFDWCD 71 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 5.13 Population and Housing 5.13.1 Background The project site is surrounded by residential uses, a private elementary school and daycare center, city parks, vacant land planned for residential use and city parks, and vacant land. The project site does not include any housing. 5.13.2 Environmental Checklist and Discussion POPULATION & HOUSING Would the project… Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Mitigation Less than Significant Impact No Impact a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? DISCUSSION: a. The proposed project does not include the construction of homes and/or businesses. In addition, the proposed project would not construct any new roads or infrastructure that could support future development. As a result, the proposed project would not induce substantial population growth in the area, either directly or indirectly. There would be no impact. b.- c. There are no residences on the project site or people currently living on the site . Impacts from project implementation would not affect the existing residences adjacent to the creek section. As a result, the proposed project would not displace any housing or people. There would be no impact.                                         THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK    CCCFDWCD 72 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 5.14 Public Services 5.14.1 Background The proposed project is the implementation of creek widening and restoration activities. There are no structures on the project site and implementation of the proposed project would not include the construction of any habitable structures. 5.14.2 Environmental Checklist and Discussion PUBLIC SERVICES Would the project… Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Mitigation Less than Significant Impact No Impact a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services: i) Fire protection? ii) Police protection? iii) Schools? iv) Parks? v) Other public facilities? DISCUSSION: Project a.i. Fire protection services in the project vicinity are provided by the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ECCFPD). Implementation of the proposed project would not increase population growth in the area, and thus would not affect the ECCFPD services or response time. The project site is located in a Non-Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone area and is designated as a Local Responsibility Area.15 Implementation of the proposed project would not result in the construction of structures on the project site or increase the site’s overall fire hazard severity. 15 CalFire Contra Costa County Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map, Local Responsibility Area, http://frap.fire.ca.gov/webdata/maps/contra_costa/fhszl_map.7.pdf, accessed June 1, 2016. CCCFDWCD 73 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would have no impact on fire protection services. a.ii.-v. Implementation of the proposed project would not indirectly or directly increase the population. Police services are provided by the City of Brentwood Police Department. Channel widening and restoration activities would not impact existing police services or response time. Further, implementation of the proposed project would not increase the need for school or park facilities, or other facilities such as public libraries. There would be no impact. CCCFDWCD 74 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 5.15 Recreation 5.15.1 Background The project site is located along Marsh Creek and there are no structures on the project site. Sungold Park is located adjacent to the west of the Lower Reach. Additionally, a vacant City-owned parcel is located on the east side of the Upper Reach just south of Central Boulevard. There is a vacant strip of land to the west between the creek and Central Boulevard owned by the District and City of Brentwood. 5.15.2 Environmental Checklist and Discussion RECREATION Would the project… Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Mitigation Less than Significant Impact No Impact a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? DISCUSSION: a., b. Due to the nature of the proposed project, its implementation would not induce population growth that would increase demand for recreational facilities. There would be no deterioration of recreational facilities (including the project site) due to implementation of the restoration activities, rather the creek restoration activities would improve the overall condition of the creek. The Marsh Creek Trail would be relocated as part of the proposed project in the Middle and Upper Reaches. The Pulte developer would relocate the trail section in the Lower Reach. The trail would be in the same general alignment and would be depressed in the area of Central Boulevard to pass under the roadway. The proposed project would enhance opportunities for strolling, hiking, and biking along Marsh Creek. Furthermore, the lower 1,600 feet of the project would be integrated into a new linear city park, which would provide passive recreation amenities and native landscaping consistent with creek restoration. There would be no impact.                                         THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK    CCCFDWCD 75 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 5.16 Transportation and Traffic 5.16.1 Background Local access to the creek section is provided from the south via Central Boulevard and from the north via O’Hara Avenue and Sand Creek Road. SR-4 is located approximately 2.2 miles west of the project site and provides regional access to the project site. 5.16.3 Environmental Checklist and Discussion TRANSPORTATION & TRAFFIC Would the project… Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Mitigation Less than Significant Impact No Impact a) Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance, or policy establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all modes of transportation including mass transit and non-motorized travel and relevant components of the circulation system, including but not limited to intersections, streets, highways and freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass transit? b) Conflict with an applicable congestion management program, including, but not limited to level of service standards established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads and highways? c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? e) Result in inadequate emergency access? f) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities? DISCUSSION: a., b. Implementation of the proposed project would not induce population growth on the project site or in its vicinity such that new vehicle trips would be generated. In addition, the proposed project CCCFDWCD 76 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 would not construct any new roads or infrastructure that could support future development. However, creek widening and restoration activities such as off-hauling of excavated fill material would require the use of construction haul trucks and would temporarily increase the number of vehicles accessing the project site. Construction vehicles would access the project site via local roadways and existing maintenance roads or the regional trail along the creek. However, construction activities on the Upper and Middle Reaches would involve no more than 2 weeks for each reach, and the Lower Reach work would at most involve up to 30 days. Due to the small scale and short duration of the project, project construction would not generate a large number of vehicle trips. Once construction is completed, the creek section will continue to be maintained by the District, thereby not increasing vehicle trips for maintenance. In the first few years of project operation, monitoring of the restoration efforts would add a small number of vehicle trips to the project site. In addition, due to restoration of riparian vegetation along the creek banks and trail improvements, the project would improve the experience of the trail users as well as provide areas where trail users can stop in shade and enjoy the beauty of the creek. This may result in an increase in visitors to the creek and a resultant increase in vehicular traffic to parking facilities near Marsh Creek. However this increase would not be substantial compared to existing conditions. Therefore, the project would not conflict with applicable transportation plans, congestion management program, policies, or ordinances or result in congestion on Central Boulevard, O’Hara Avenue, Sand Creek Road, or SR-4. The impact would be less than significant. c. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in the construction of permanent structures and would have no effect on air traffic patterns and existing air traffic safety. There would be no impact. d.-f. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in the construction of roads or infrastructure. As mentioned in Section 2.4.6 above, the proposed project would route the regional trail under an existing road bridge thereby eliminating two dangerous intersections where the existing trail crosses busy roadways (Dainty Avenue and Central Boulevard). The proposed project would reduce the gradient of the steep slope between the creek and the trail and provide a new foot trail and a new pedestrian bridge that would allow additional access for people to cross the creek within the Middle Reach. Therefore the proposed project would improve pedestrian walkability and there would be no impact. The proposed project would not adversely impact the nearby roadways. All creek restoration activities would take place on the project site. Emergency access to nearby residences as well as public transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities would not be impeded by implementation of the proposed project. There would be no impact. CCCFDWCD 77 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 5.17 Utilities and Service Systems 5.17.1 Background There are no existing buildings on the project site. A City of Brentwood sewer main is located on the west side of the Upper Reach. For most of the length, the sewer is within the Central Boulevard right of way. However, a portion of this sewer is located within one of the District’s parcels where flood control improvements would be constructed. The sewer line is over 15 feet deep, at least 4 feet below the flow line of the creek. However, the sewer line is below the maximum depth of excavation and would not be relocated. Near Sand Creek confluence in the Middle and Lower Reach, the sewer main crosses under the creek and continues north along the east bank of the Lower Reach. In the Lower Reach, the sewer line is located within the area that would be excavated to create the easterly floodplain. 5.17.2 Environmental Checklist and Discussion UTILITIES & SERVICE SYSTEMS Would the project… Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Mitigation Less than Significant Impact No Impact a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board? b) Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed? e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the providers existing commitments? f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs? CCCFDWCD 78 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 g) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? DISCUSSION: a., e. Implementation of the proposed project would not generate any wastewater. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not result in any exceedances of any wastewater requirements. There would be no impact. b. The proposed project would not increase demand for water or generate wastewater. It would be the responsibility of the construction contractor to obtain water that would be used for dust control during construction activities. The contractor would obtain water from an off-site source and truck it to the construction sites. Reintroduced native vegetation and proposed trees may require irrigation for the first few years. Irrigation practices may include the use of Dri-Water time release gel packs and if necessary, piped water, which would be available from adjacent subdivisions and city parks. Upon successful establishment, the new vegetation and trees would rely upon precipitation, storm water runoff from the surrounding areas, and creek inundation. Implementation of the proposed project would not require irrigated water or generate wastewater. Therefore, the proposed project would not require the expansion of existing water or wastewater facilities or construction of a new water or wastewater facility. There would be no impact. With respect to the sewer line in the project area, the proposed project would not relocate the sewer line. In the Lower Reach, minor modifications to sewer manholes may be required to accommodate changes in ground elevation. In all cases, grading would be performed around manholes so that potential spills from manholes would initially drain away from Marsh Creek. c. Implementation of the proposed project would not increase impervious surfaces on the project site that would generate additional storm water. The existing Marsh Creek Trail is paved. While that pavement will be removed, the same amount of pavement would be placed to create the relocated trail. Additionally, pervious pavement is being considered for use on the relocated trail and if utilized would reduce runoff. Therefore, there would be no impact related to construction of new storm water facilities to handle project runoff. d. Implementation of the project activities would not require potable water. There would be no impact to existing water supplies. f., g. The proposed project would not create any additional solid waste. There would be no impact to solid waste facilities or regulations relating to solid waste. CCCFDWCD 79 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 5.18 Mandatory Findings of Significance MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE Would the project… Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Mitigation Less than Significant Impact No Impact a) Does the project have the potential to 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, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively considerable” means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? c) Does the project have environmental effects that will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? DISCUSSION: a. Please refer to responses under Biological Resources items (a) through (f), and Cultural Resources items (a) through (e), above. Future development on the project site would not significantly affect fish or wildlife habitat, nor would it eliminate examples of California history or prehistory. With the implementation of Mitigation Measures BIO-1 through BIO-4 and Mitigation Measures CUL-1 and CUL-2, identified above in this Initial Study, all impacts would be reduced to a less than significant level and the proposed project would not degrade the quality of the environment. Impacts under this criterion would be less than significant. b. Implementation of the proposed restoration project would not result in cumulative impacts. Creek restoration activities would manage flows, restore native vegetation, improve water quality within Marsh Creek, and improve walkability of the existing Marsh Creek Trail. No structures are proposed for the project and creek restoration activities would not directly or indirectly induce population growth. Therefore less than significant cumulative impacts from the proposed project have been identified. c. The proposed project would not directly or indirectly cause substantial adverse effects on human beings. Air emissions and noise from construction activities would be the only impacts through which the proposed project could have an effect on human beings; however, all construction- CCCFDWCD 80 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND No.: 16-39 August 2016 related air quality and noise impacts would be mitigated to less than significant levels by implementation of Mitigation Measures AIR-1, AIR-2, and Mitigation Measure NOISE-1 and would therefore avoid causing substantial adverse effects on human beings. Further, compliance with Mitigation Measure GEO-1 would ensure a stabilized design for a flood conveyance zone. For all other resource areas, the proposed project would either have less than significant impacts, or, impacts that would not affect human beings.

Guerin, GE Wood Biological Consulting Mike Wood, Principal WSA James Allan, Principal Investigator Illingworth & Rodkin James Reyff, Principal (Peer review/air quality analysis) CCCFDWCD No.: 16-39 1 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND August 2016 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that a Lead Agency establish a program to monitor and report on mitigation measures adopted as part of the environmental review process to avoid or reduce the severity and magnitude of potentially significant environmental impacts associated with project implementation. CEQA (Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 (a) (1)) requires that a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) be adopted at the time that the public agency determines to approve a project for which an EIR or a Negative Declaration (ND) has been prepared, to ensure that mitigation measures identified in the EIR or ND are fully implemented. The MMRP for the Three Creeks Parkway Restoration project is presented in Table 4.0-1, Mitigation and Monitoring Reporting Program. Table 4.0-1 includes the full text of project-specific mitigation measures identified in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. The MMRP describes implementation and monitoring procedures, responsibilities, and timing for each mitigation measure, including: Number: Identifies the number of the mitigation measure. Mitigation Measure: Provides full text of the mitigation measure as provided in the final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. Monitoring/Reporting Action(s): Designates responsibility for implementation of the mitigation measure and when appropriate, summarizes the steps to be taken to implement the measure. Mitigation Timing: Identifies the stage of the project during which the mitigation action will be taken. Monitoring Schedule: Specifies procedures for documenting and reporting mitigation implementation. The Contra Cost County Flood Control and Water Conservation District and American Rivers may modify the means by which a mitigation measure will be implemented, as long as the alternative means ensure compliance during project implementation. The responsibilities of mitigation implementation, monitoring, and reporting extend to several district departments and offices. The manager or department lead of the identified unit or department will be directly responsible for ensuring the responsible party complies with the mitigation. The Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District is responsible for the overall administration of the program and for assisting relevant departments and project managers in their oversight and reporting responsibilities. The Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District is also responsible for ensuring the relevant parties understand their charge and complete the required procedures accurately and on schedule.                                         THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK    CCCFDWCD No.: 16-39 2 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND August 2016 Table 1 Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Number Mitigation Measure Monitoring/Reporting Action(s) Mitigation Timing Monitoring Schedule AIR QUALITY AIR-1: The construction contractor(s) shall implement the following BMPs during project construction: • All exposed surfaces (e.g., parking areas, staging areas, soil stockpiles, graded areas, and unpaved access roads) shall be watered two times per day. • All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material off- site shall be covered. • All visible mud or dirt track-out onto adjacent public roads shall be removed using wet power vacuum street sweepers at least once per day.

Coverage under the HCP/NCCP. The project proponent shall apply for coverage under the HCP/NCCP. Participation in the HCP/NCCP, including implementation of appropriate avoidance and minimization measures and payment of applicable fees would provide the project proponent with incidental take coverage for California red-legged frog, Pacific (Western) pond turtle, and silvery legless lizard. 2. Seasonal Avoidance. If required by the Streambed Alteration Agreement or Water Quality Certification, work shall be limited to the dry season, from April 15 to October 15. 3. Minimize Nighttime Work. If required by the Streambed Alteration Agreement or Water Quality Certification, nighttime construction shall be restricted to avoid effects on nocturnally active species such as California red-legged frog. Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District File application, obtain HCP/NCCP coverage, and implement measures by including them in the construction contract(s) Prior to start and during construction Confirm and document during construction CCCFDWCD No.: 16-39 4 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND August 2016 Number Mitigation Measure Monitoring/Reporting Action(s) Mitigation Timing Monitoring Schedule 4. Environmental Awareness Program. Prior to the commencement of construction activities, a qualified biologist shall present an environmental awareness program to all construction personnel working on site. At a minimum the training should include a description of special-status species that could be encountered, their habitats, regulatory status, protective measures, work boundaries, lines of communication, reporting requirements, and the implications of violations of applicable laws. 5. Wildlife Exclusion Fencing. Prior to the start of construction, wildlife exclusion fencing (WEF) shall be installed as warranted and consistent with the HCP/NCCP to isolate the work area from any habitats potentially supporting special-status animals or through which such species may move. The final project plans shall indicate where and how the WEF is to be installed. The bid solicitation package special provisions shall provide further instructions to the contractor about acceptable fencing locations and materials. The fencing shall remain throughout the duration of the work activities, be regularly inspected and properly maintained by the contractor. Fencing and stakes shall be completely removed following project completion. 6. Best Management Practices (BMPs). Prior to the initiation of work, BMPs shall be in place to prevent the release of any pollutants or sediment into the creek, storm drains, or tributaries; all BMPs shall be properly maintained. Leaks, drips, and spills of hydraulic fluid, oil, or fuel from construction equipment shall be promptly cleaned up to prevent contamination of water ways. All workers shall be properly trained regarding the importance of preventing and cleaning up spills of contaminants. Protective measures should include, at a minimum: No discharge of pollutants from vehicle and equipment cleaning should be allowed into any storm drains or watercourses. a. Spill containment kits should be maintained onsite at all times during construction operations and/or CCCFDWCD No.: 16-39 5 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND August 2016 Number Mitigation Measure Monitoring/Reporting Action(s) Mitigation Timing Monitoring Schedule staging or fueling of equipment. b. Coir rolls or straw wattles should be installed along or at the base of slopes during construction to capture sediment. 7. Erosion Control. Graded areas shall be protected from erosion using a combination of silt fences, fiber rolls along toes of slopes or along edges of designated staging areas, and erosion control netting (such as jute or coir) as appropriate on sloped areas. 8. Construction Site Restrictions. The following site restrictions shall be implemented to avoid adversely affecting sensitive habitats and harm or harassment to listed species: a. Any fill material shall be certified to be non-toxic and weed free. b. All food and food-related trash items shall be enclosed in sealed trash containers and removed completely from the site at the end of each day. c. No pets from project personnel shall be allowed anywhere in the project site during construction. d. No firearms shall be allowed on the project site except for those carried by authorized security personnel, or local, State or Federal law enforcement officials. e. All equipment shall be maintained such that there are no leaks of automotive fluids such as gasoline, oils or solvents and a Spill Response Plan shall be prepared. Hazardous materials such as fuels, oils, solvents, etc. shall be stored in sealable containers in a designated location that is isolated from wetlands and aquatic habitats. f. Servicing of vehicles and construction equipment including fueling, cleaning, and maintenance should occur only at sites isolated from any aquatic habitat CCCFDWCD No.: 16-39 6 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND August 2016 Number Mitigation Measure Monitoring/Reporting Action(s) Mitigation Timing Monitoring Schedule unless separated by topographic or drainage barrier or unless it is an already existing gas station. Staging areas may occur closer to the project activities as required. 9. Proper Use of Erosion Control Devices. Plastic mono-filament netting (e.g., that used with erosion control matting) or similar material shall not be used within the project area; wildlife can become entangled or trapped in such non-biodegradable materials. Acceptable substitutes include coconut coir matting, tackified hydroseeding, blown straw, or other organic mulching material. 10. Protocol for Species Observation – Pacific (Western) pond turtle and silvery legless lizard. If a Pacific (Western) pond turtle or silvery legless lizard is encountered in the project site, work in the area of the finding must cease immediately until the animal either moves out of harm’s way of its own accord or is safely relocated well upstream or downstream of the project site. Only a qualified biologist with a scientific collection permit issued by the CDFW may handle and relocate Pacific (Western) pond turtle or silvery legless lizard. Any sightings and relocation of Pacific (Western) pond turtle and silvery legless lizard should be reported to the CDFW and the CNDDB. BIO-2: To minimize and avoid impacts to Chinook salmon and steelhead, the following measures will be implemented: 1. Seasonal Avoidance. In-stream work shall be limited to June 1 to October 31. 2. In-Stream Activities: If in-stream construction or dewatering is required, the following precautionary measures should be implemented: a. A preconstruction survey of the aquatic environment Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Retain qualified biologist to implement the measures. Prior to start and during construction Confirm and document during construction CCCFDWCD No.: 16-39 7 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND August 2016 Number Mitigation Measure Monitoring/Reporting Action(s) Mitigation Timing Monitoring Schedule shall be performed by a qualified biologist. b. A qualified biologist shall present an environmental awareness program working on site. c. A qualified biologist should monitor all in-stream activities. d. If dewatering is proposed, a qualified biologist should monitor the installation of coffer dams. During dewatering, a qualified biologist should check for stranded aquatic wildlife. Dewatering pumps must be fitted with intake screens with a mesh no greater than 5 mm (0.2 in) and BMPs will be installed to minimize sediment transport during installation of coffer dams. e. Native species (non-special-status fish species) should be relocated upstream or downstream of the cofferdams by a permitted biologist. Non-native species should be euthanized in accordance with the guidance of the CDFW. All wildlife encounters should be documented and reported to the CDFW. If listed salmonids are present, the NMFS shall be consulted to determine the appropriate measures to ensure conformance with ESA. BIO-3: In order to avoid impacts to nesting Swainson’s hawk, white-tailed kite, burrowing owl, loggerhead shrike, and other bird species protected under the MBTA and CFGC during project implementation, the measures outlined below shall be implemented. 1. Environmental Awareness Program. Prior to the commencement of construction activities, a qualified biologist shall present an environmental awareness program to all construction personnel working on site. At a minimum the training shall include a description of special-status species that could be encountered, their habitats, regulatory status, Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Retain qualified biologist to implement the measures. Prior to start and during construction Confirm and document during construction CCCFDWCD No.: 16-39 8 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND August 2016 Number Mitigation Measure Monitoring/Reporting Action(s) Mitigation Timing Monitoring Schedule protective measures, work boundaries, lines of communication, reporting requirements, and the implications of violations of applicable laws. 2. Swainson’s hawk is a federally listed threatened species and is covered under the HCP/NCCP. Nonetheless, every effort should be made to ensure that no take of Swainson’s hawk occurs. Therefore, the measures outlined below should be implemented. a. The project proponent should apply for coverage under the HCP/NCCP. Participation in the HCP/NCCP would provide the applicant with incidental take coverage for Swainson’s hawk and satisfy any requirements for mitigation for loss of habitat. b. Prior to any ground disturbance during the nesting season (March 15-September 15), a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey no more than one month prior to construction to determine if there are any active Swainson’s hawk nests within 305 meters (1,000 feet) of the project site. c. If there are no occupied nests within this buffer, no further action is needed. d. If an active nest is present within this buffer, the measures outlined below shall be followed. • Construction activities are not permitted within 305 meters (1,000 feet) of an occupied nest to prevent nest abandonment. However, if site- specific conditions or the nature of the activity warrant a small buffer, a qualified biologist should coordinate with CDFW and USFWS to determine the appropriate buffer size. • Construction activities may proceed prior to CCCFDWCD No.: 16-39 9 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND August 2016 Number Mitigation Measure Monitoring/Reporting Action(s) Mitigation Timing Monitoring Schedule September 15 if the young Swainson’s hawks have fledged, as determined by a qualified biologist. 3. White-tailed kite is a state-listed fully protected species; it is not covered under the HCP/NCCP and incidental take of the species is not allowed. To ensure that no take of white-tailed kite or other migratory raptors occurs, the measures outlined below shall be implemented. a. Prior to any ground disturbance during the nesting season (February 1-August 31), a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey no more than two weeks prior to construction to determine if there are any active nests of white-tailed kite or other migratory raptors within 76 meters (250 feet) of the project site. b. Prior to the removal or significant pruning of any trees, they shall be inspected by a qualified biologist for the presence of raptor nests. This is required during both the breeding season and non-breeding season. If a suspected raptor nest is discovered, the CDFW shall be notified. Pursuant to CFGC Section 3503.5, raptor nests, whether or not they are occupied, may not be removed until approval is granted by the CDFW. c. If there are no occupied nests within this buffer, no further action is needed. d. If an active nest is present within this buffer, the measures outlined below shall be implemented. • Construction activities are not permitted within 76 meter (250 feet) of an occupied nest to prevent nest abandonment.

Nest monitoring may be warranted for activities that would occur within a smaller buffer. • Construction activities may proceed prior to August 31 if the young white-tailed kites or other raptor species have fledged, as determined by a qualified biologist. 4. Burrowing owl is a State species of special concern and a covered species under the HCP/NCCP. To ensure that no take of burrowing owl occurs, the measures outlined below shall be implemented. a. Prior to any ground disturbance during the nesting season (February 1-August 31), a CDFW-approved biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey of all suitable burrowing owl habitat that would be affected by the project. The survey shall be performed no more than 30 days prior to construction to determine if there are any active nests of burrowing owl within 153 m (500 ft) of the project site, access permitting. b. If there are no occupied nests within this buffer, no further action is needed. c. If an active nest is present within this buffer, the measures outlined below shall be implemented. • If an occupied burrowing owl nest site is present within the limits of work, construction may not proceed. The taking of burrowing owls or occupied nests is prohibited under CFGC. Nest sites must be flagged and protected by a designated disturbance-free buffer zone of at least 76 meters (250 feet). • Construction activities are not permitted within CCCFDWCD No.: 16-39 11 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND August 2016 Number Mitigation Measure Monitoring/Reporting Action(s) Mitigation Timing Monitoring Schedule 76 meters (250 feet) of an occupied nest to prevent nest abandonment. • Construction may proceed if a qualified biologist monitors the nest and determines that the adults have not begun egg-laying and incubation or that the juveniles have fledged. • Burrowing owls may be passively excluded from occupied burrows outside of the breeding season (i.e., September 1-January 31), in consultation with the CDFW. All owls should be passively excluded from burrows within 49 meters (160 feet) of the work site. Passive exclusion is achieved by installing one-way doors in the burrow entrances. Doors should be in place for at least 48 hours and the site should be monitored daily for at least one week to confirm that the burrow has been abandoned. 5. Loggerhead shrike is a state species of special concern; it is not covered under the HCP/NCCP and incidental take of the species is not allowed. To ensure that no take of loggerhead shrike or any other migratory passerines occurs, the measures outlined below shall be implemented. a. If ground-disturbing activities (i.e., site clearing, disking, grading, etc.) can be performed outside of the nesting season (i.e., between September 1 and January 31), no additional surveys are warranted. b. Prior to any ground disturbance during the nesting season (February 1-August 31), a qualified biologist should conduct a preconstruction survey no more than two weeks prior to construction to determine if there are any active nests of loggerhead shrike or any other migratory passerines nests within 30 meters (100 feet) of the project site.

BIO-4: In order to avoid, minimize and compensate for unavoidable impacts on waters of the U.S./waters of the State, the measures outlined below shall be implemented. 1. Impacts on waters of the U.S. will be avoided by restricting grading to an elevation above the OHWM; avoidance of impacts to waters of the State is not feasible. Long-term impacts shall be minimized by limiting the use of hardened structures (e.g., grouted riprap) in preference of bio- engineering solutions as much as is practicable. Surface water connections must not be permanently blocked or interrupted and the installation of drop-structures or other features that create barriers to wildlife movement shall be avoided. 2. Prior to construction, the project proponent will need to secure authorization from the USACE, RWQCB, and CDFW in conformance to the Clean Water Act and Lake and Streambed Alteration Program. Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Obtain permits; obtain coverage under HCP/NCCP; include BMPs in construction contract (s) Prior to start and during construction Confirm and document during construction CCCFDWCD No.: 16-39 13 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND August 2016 Number Mitigation Measure Monitoring/Reporting Action(s) Mitigation Timing Monitoring Schedule 3. Participation in the HCP/NCCP is expected to satisfy the requirements of the regulatory agencies for compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts on stream channels, wetlands and riparian habitat. A Planning Survey Report shall be completed and submitted to the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy. The submittal shall include detailed drawings illustrating all temporary and permanent impacts. 4. Per the terms of the adopted HCP/NCCP, a wetland mitigation fee or on-site habitat restoration will mitigate the impacts. If accepted by the regulatory agencies, no additional mitigation for wetland impacts is typically required. HCP/NCCP fee payment will occur at project contract award. 5. For all work within and adjacent to the stream channel and riparian habitat, best management practices (BMPs) must be incorporated into the project design to minimize environmental effects. These include the following: • Construction in the active channels shall be restricted to the dry season (April 15-October 15). • Personnel conducting ground-disturbing activities within or adjacent to the buffer zone of wetlands, ponds, streams, or riparian woodland/scrub shall be trained by a qualified biologist in these avoidance and minimization measures and the permit obligations. • If dewatering is necessary, water released downstream of work areas must be as clean or cleaner than flows entering the work area. Sediment-laden water shall be either pumped onto upland sites for infiltration or into Baker tanks for settling, prior to being released back into the channel. Coffer dams shall consist of clean, silt-free sand or gravel in sand bags, or a comparable material. All coffer dam materials CCCFDWCD No.: 16-39 14 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND August 2016 Number Mitigation Measure Monitoring/Reporting Action(s) Mitigation Timing Monitoring Schedule must be promptly removed when no longer needed. • High visibility temporary construction fencing should be erected between the outer edge of the limits of construction and adjacent streams or habitats to be preserved. Temporary construction fencing will be removed upon the completion of work. • Grading or construction near channels shall be isolated with silt fencing or other BMPs to prevent sedimentation. BMPs shall be regularly inspected. • Vehicles and equipment shall be parked on existing roads or previously disturbed areas. • Equipment working in channels must be in good working order and free of leaks of fuel, oil, and hydraulic fluids. Drip pans shall be placed under vehicles and equipment over waterways and spill clean-up materials should be kept onsite at a convenient location. • Equipment maintenance and refueling shall be performed well away from the top of bank of any channel; storm drain inlets shall be protected from an accidental release of contaminants. • Concrete washings or other contaminants must not be permitted to enter the stream channel or any storm drain inlet. • Any concrete structures or cured-in-place pipe linings shall be allowed to cure before coming in contact with surface flows. • Construction debris and materials shall be stockpiled away from watercourses. CCCFDWCD No.: 16-39 15 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND August 2016 Number Mitigation Measure Monitoring/Reporting Action(s) Mitigation Timing Monitoring Schedule • Appropriate erosion-control measures (e.g., coconut coir matting, tackified hydroseeding, blown straw or other organic mulching material) shall be used on site to reduce siltation and runoff of contaminants into wetlands, ponds, streams, or riparian woodland/scrub. Plastic mono-filament netting (e.g., that used with erosion control matting) or similar material should not be used within the action area; wildlife can become entangled or trapped such non-biodegradable materials. Erosion-control measures shall be placed between the outer edge of the buffer and the project site. • Fiber rolls used for erosion control shall be certified as free of noxious weed seed. • Construction staging areas past the channel banks must be located away from any wetlands or other sensitive habitats as identified by a qualified biologist. • Newly graded earthen channel slopes shall be revegetated with a native seed mix developed by a qualified restorationist. Seed mixtures applied for erosion control shall not contain invasive nonnative species, and be composed of native species or sterile nonnative species. Straw or mulch shall also be applied to all bare surfaces. The seed mix and mulch shall be applied prior to the onset of the first winter-season rains. • Herbicide shall not be applied within 30 meters (100 feet) of wetlands, ponds, streams, or riparian habitat. However, where appropriate to control serious invasive plants, herbicides that have been approved by the U.S. EPA for use in or adjacent to aquatic habitats may be used as long as label CCCFDWCD No.: 16-39 16 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND August 2016 Number Mitigation Measure Monitoring/Reporting Action(s) Mitigation Timing Monitoring Schedule instructions are followed and applications avoid or minimize impacts on covered species and their habitats. In seasonal or intermittent stream or wetland environments, appropriate herbicides may be applied during the dry season to control nonnative invasive species. Herbicide drift should be minimized by applying the herbicide as close to the target area as possible and by avoiding applying during windy days. • Additional measures may be outlined in the conditions of the permits issued by the USACE, RWQCB, CDFW, and the Habitat Conservancy. All permit conditions must be conformed to. CULTURAL RESOURCES CUL-1: • Crew training, initial monitoring by a qualified archaeologist to determine an appropriate level of monitoring for the duration of the project, and additional spot checks pending the results of the initial monitoring shall be conducted prior to and during ground disturbing activities. • A qualified archaeologist shall be present on the project site to monitor ground disturbing activities and inspect excavated soils to identify any cultural resources and human remains as deemed appropriate by the qualified archaeologist. • All construction crew workers shall attend a training session led by a qualified archaeologist that discusses (1) the reasons for archaeological resource monitoring; (2) regulatory policies protecting resources and human remains; (3) basic identification of archaeological resources; and (4) the protocol to follow in case of a discovery of such resources. • In accordance with CEQA Guideline §15064.5 (f), should any previously unknown historic or prehistoric resources, including but Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Retain qualified archaeologist to implement identified measures; also include in construction contract(s) Prior to start and during construction Confirm and document during construction CCCFDWCD No.: 16-39 17 Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Initial Study/MND August 2016 Number Mitigation Measure Monitoring/Reporting Action(s) Mitigation Timing Monitoring Schedule not limited to charcoal, obsidian or chert flakes, grinding bowls, shell fragments, bone, pockets of dark, friable soils, glass, metal, ceramics, wood, privies, trash deposits or similar debris, be discovered during ground disturbing activities, work within 25 feet of these materials should be stopped until a qualified professional archaeologist has an opportunity to evaluate the potential significance of the find and to consult with the lead agency about what appropriate mitigation would be appropriate to protect the resource. • In the event that human remains, or possible human remains, are encountered during project-related ground disturbance, in any location other than a dedicated cemetery, there shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent remains until the coroner of the county in which the human remains are discovered has determined, that the remains are not subject to the provisions of Section 27492 of the Government Code or any other related provisions of law concerning investigation of the circumstances, manner and cause of death, and the recommendations concerning treatment and disposition of the human remains have been made to the person responsible for the excavation, or to his or her authorized representative, in the manner provided in Section 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code. • The County Coroner, upon recognizing the remains as being of Native American origin, is responsible to contact the NAHC within 24 hours. The Commission has various powers and duties, including the appointment of a Most Likely Descendant (MLD) to the project. The MLD, or in lieu of the MLD, the NAHC, has the responsibility to provide guidance as to the ultimate disposition of any Native American remains.

CENTRAL VALLEY REGIONAL WATER QUALTY CONTROL BOARD (August 25, 2016) Comment 4-1: The Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (Central Valley Water Board) states that their agency is delegated with the responsibility of protecting the quality of surface and ground waters of the state and as such their comments will address concerns surrounding those issues. The Central Valley Water Board is required to formulate and adopt Basin Plans for all areas within the Central Valley region under Section 13240 of the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act which requires each Basin Plan contain water quality objectives to ensure reasonable protection of beneficial uses as well as a program of implementation for achieving water quality objectives. The Central Valley Water Board further notes that all wastewater discharges must comply with the Antidegradation Policy contained in the Basin Plan. The Central Valley Water Board offers links for more information. Response: Comments noted. No further response is necessary. Comment 4-2: The Central Valley Water Board notes various permits that may be required for the project if applicable (Construction Storm Water General Permit, Phase I and II Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permits, Industrial Storm Water General Permit, Clean Water Action Section 404 Permit, Clean Water Act Section 401 Permit – Water Quality Certification, Waste Discharge Requirements – Discharges to Waters of the State, Dewatering Permit, Regulatory Compliance for Commercially Irrigated Agriculture, Low or Limited Threat General National Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit, NPDES Permit). Response: As noted in Section 2.7 “Permits and Approvals Required” the project will require a Clean Water Act Section 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Section 401 permit - Water Quality Certification from the Central Valley Water Board, and Section 2.9 “Hydrology and Water Quality” notes that a NPDES General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction and Land Disturbances will be obtained.

DELTA STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL (August 30, 2016) Comment 5-1: Delta Plan Policies: Delta Stewardship Council (Council) notes that the Delta Plan includes 14 regulatory policies that are applicable to all covered actions and provides a few key regulatory policies that may be applicable to the project and provides staff contact information for guidance. Response: The project proponents will consult with the Council to ensure the project is consistent with the Delta Plan regulatory policies as applicable to the project. Comment 5-2: Best Available Science and Adaptive Management: Delta Plan Policy G P1 “Detailed Findings to Establish Consistency with the Delta Plan” calls for covered actions to document use of best available science which should be consistent with criteria listed in Appendix 1A “Best Available Science” of the Delta Plan regulations such as relevance, inclusiveness, and objectivity. Delta Plan Policy G P1 also calls for ecosystem restoration projects to include adequate provisions for continued implementation of adaptive management, appropriate to the scope of the action; this requirement can be satisfied through development of an adaptive management plan that is consistent with the framework described in Appendix 1B “Adaptive Management” of the Delta Plan along with documentation of adequate resources to implement the proposed adaptive management process. The Council provided the Delta Science Program contact information for consultation to assist in document preparation for use of best available science and adaptive management. Response: The project will ensure consistency with Delta Plan Policy G P1 as well as implement the Best Available Science criteria listed in Table 1A-1 of Appendix 1A (Relevance, Inclusiveness, Objectivity, Transparency and Openness, Timeliness, Peer Review) and an Adaptive Management plan described in Appendix 1B which provides a framework to plan, implement, evaluate and respond as applicable to the project. Comment 5-3: Mitigation Measures: Delta Plan Policy GP 1 also requires that actions not exempt from CEQA and subject to Delta Plan regulations must include applicable feasible mitigation measures consistent with those identified in the Delta Plan Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) or substitute mitigation measures that are equally or more effective. The Council also notes that the Delta Plan Mitigation and Monitoring Reporting Program (MMRP) should be used to ensure compliance with the Delta Plan mitigation measures and provided a link to the document. INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION CONTRA COSTA COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT THREE CREEKS PARKWAY RESTORATION PROJECT (SCH# 2016082008) COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT #7562-6D8176; COUNTY CEQA FILE #: CP 16-39 Response: Comments noted. The Delta Plan PEIR MMRP was reviewed and determined that the project MMRP is consistent with the Delta Plan PEIR MMRP as applicable to the project. Nevertheless, the Delta Plan PEIR will be referenced should other applicable mitigation measures become warranted that is not already included in the project MMRP. Comment 5-4: Habitat Restoration: The Council notes that Delta Plan Policy ER P2 “Restore Habitats at Appropriate Elevations” states that habitat restoration must occur at appropriate elevations and be consistent with Appendix 3 “Habitat Restoration” of the Delta Plan regulations, which is an excerpt from the 2011 Draft Ecosystem Restoration Program Conservation Strategy. Appendix 3 describes many ecosystem benefits related to restoring floodplains, however it cautions that such restoration should include investigation and implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to control methylmercury production and transport since periodic wetting and drying makes these areas prone to methylation of mercury. Marsh Creek is currently cited as exceeding water quality standards for mercury on the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board’s 303(d) list of impaired water bodies, making management of mercury issues relevant to the Parkway Project. The Council recommends that the MND specifically address the potential impact of the project to contribute to methylation of legacy mercury in the Marsh Creek watershed and explain how the project either is designed to minimize this impact or includes appropriate mercury related BMPs. Response: Comments noted. Marsh Creek is listed as impaired for mercury due to an abandoned mercury mine in the upper watershed, but bio-sentinel and chemical surveys over the last two decades have found relatively low levels of mercury and methylmercury in the watershed below Marsh Creek Reservoir, which appears to act as a mercury trap (John Cain, American Rivers, personal communication). Nevertheless, the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (Central Valley Water Board) has established methylmercury waste load allocations for all dischargers to the Delta through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) (Delta Mercury TMDL) with intentions of reducing the mercury concentrations in fish down to levels considered to be protective of people and wildlife who consume fish from the Delta. The Delta Mercury TMDL translates reduced levels of mercury in fish to a water column target of 0.06 nanograms unfiltered methylmercury per liter (ng/L). If the average total methylmercury concentration in a water body exceeds 0.06 ng/L, follow-up actions are required to investigate causes and determine reasonable and foreseeable means of attaining a 0.06 ng/L. The Contra Costa Clean Water Program (CCCWP) began implementation of a Methylmercury Control Study in 2012 to fulfill requirements of the Central Valley Municipal Regional Stormwater Discharge Permit (Order No. R5-2010-010). A Methylmercury Control Study Work Plan (Amec 2013) was prepared to 1) evaluate the INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION CONTRA COSTA COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT THREE CREEKS PARKWAY RESTORATION PROJECT (SCH# 2016082008) COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT #7562-6D8176; COUNTY CEQA FILE #: CP 16-39 effectiveness of existing Best Management Practices (BMPs) for the control of methylmercury; 2) evaluate additional or enhanced BMPs, as needed, to reduce mercury and methylmercury discharges to the Delta; and 3) determine the feasibility of meeting methylmercury waste load allocations. Wet year and dry year samples were obtained at several locations along Marsh Creek within the project vicinity from spring 2012 through spring 2015: just upstream and downstream of the City of Brentwood Wastewater Treatment Plant (downstream of the project site), and at the confluences of Sand Creek, Deer Creek, and Dry Creek (all tributaries to Marsh Creek); Sand and Deer Creek confluences occur within the project segment, and Dry Creek is upstream of the project site. Methylmercury concentrations ranged between non-detect to 1.2 ng/L (Contra Costa Clean Water Program, Methylmercury Control Study Progress Report, October 2015). Creating an intermittently flooded floodplain on Marsh Creek could create a methylated environment resulting in an increased level of methylmercury if there is elemental mercury present. However, based on the hydrology in Marsh Creek, the inundation events have a very short duration and are infrequent, which would presumably limit mercury export into Marsh Creek and the Delta. Further monitoring will be conducted to compare post-project levels to the pre-project data gathered from 2012 to 2015 to help determine whether implementation of this project will have any effect on methylation. Project construction will incorporate applicable BMPs to avoid or minimize off-site sediment transport. Comment 5-5: Invasive Species: The Council notes that Delta Plan Policy ER P5 states “The potential for new introductions of or improved habitat conditions for nonnative invasive species, striped bass, or bass must be fully considered and avoided or mitigated in a way that appropriately protects the ecosystem.” Nonnative species, such as terrestrial and aquatic weeds, are a major obstacle to successful restoration because they affect the survival, health, and distribution of native wildlife and plant species. Although there is little chance of eradicating most established nonnative species, management can be designed to reduced their abundance. The Council suggests consideration of incorporating the Delta Plan’s PEIR Biological Resources Mitigation Measure 4-1 which calls for an invasive species management plan to be developed and implemented for any projects that could lead to introduction or facilitation of invasive species establishment. The mitigation requirement also calls for the plan to include nonnative species eradication methods (if eradication is feasible), nonnative species management methods, early detection methods, notification requirements, BMPs for preconstruction, construction, and post construction periods, monitoring, remedial actions and reporting requirements, and provisions for updating the target species list over the lifetime of the project as new invasive species become potential threats to the integrity of the local ecosystems.

The project will implement an invasive species management plan consistent with the Delta Plan’s recommendation as applicable to the project. Comment 5-6: Respect Local Land Use: The Council notes that Delta Plan Policy DP P2 calls for habitat restoration projects to avoid or reduce conflicts with existing uses and to consider comments from local agencies and the Delta Protection Commission. The Council also notes that the MND states the project is consistent with the City of Brentwood General Plan and would not affect any land use of adjoining parcels to the project area, which is primarily designated residential. The MND also describes how the Parkway Project would protect East Bay Regional Park District’s Marsh Creek trail by relocating it to new top of the eastern bank under the proposed project. Response: Comments noted. No further response necessary. Comment 5-7: Inconsistencies with the Delta Plan: The Council notes that the MND should discuss any inconsistencies between the proposed plan and the Delta Plan and that according to the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G a project that is inconsistent with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulations may result in a finding of significant impact on the environment. Response: Comments noted. The project is consistent with the Delta Plan as it is a multi-benefit project that will reduce flood risk associated with a changing climate, improve Delta water quality, restore denuded stream-side habitat, and enhance the Delta as a place. Further, the project will advance water quality recommendations of the Delta Plan to improve environmental water quality by reducing several pollutants conveyed to the Delta by urban and stormwater run-off including nitrates, pathogens, and contaminants with development of new floodplain wetlands and riparian vegetation along the channel that will cleanse polluted run-off that drain to Marsh Creek, Dutch Slough, and eventually to the Delta and Bay. Improving environmental water quality in Marsh Creek is particularly important to further the Delta Plan’s goal of protecting Dutch Slough – a priority habitat restoration area. Comment 5-8: Delta Plan Recommendations: Protect and Enhance Recreational Opportunities: The Council notes that the Delta Plan recommends protecting and improving existing recreation opportunities while seeking ways of providing new and better coordinated opportunities. Delta Plan Recommendation DP R11 calls for providing new and protecting existing recreational opportunities in the Delta and Suisun Marsh. Additionally, Recommendation DP R16 states that public agencies owning land should increase opportunities, where feasible, for bank fishing, hunting, levee-top trails, and environmental education.

EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT (September 1, 2016) Comment 6-1: The East Bay Regional Park District (Park District) appreciates that the Marsh Creek Trail within the project area will be located above the 100-year flood plain zone which will avoid increased maintenance costs and potential trail closures. The project is considering a pervious surface for the trail as part of the proposal required by the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy. The Park District comments that they maintain a portion of the Marsh Creek Trail and requests that a local funding mechanism be established to accommodate additional maintenance required for this type of surface. Response: The Contra Costa County Flood Control District has been having discussions with the City of Brentwood Parks and Recreation Department about the local funding mechanism and the City has agreed they’ll provide additional fundi ng for the additional maintenance required for this type of surface. Comment 6-2: The City of Brentwood is proposing to widen Central Blvd. to four (4) lanes by adding a new bridge. The Park District comments safety concerns regarding the increased distance trail users would have to travel across Central Blvd. once additional lanes are added. The Park District supports the trail passing under the bridge(s) and elimination of at grade crossing which is a much safer experience for trail users and may improve traffic flow on Central Blvd. Additional structures required to protect the bridge abutments and trail alignment under the bridge will need to be included in the CEQA analysis. Response: The project will include armoring under the bridge to protect the bridge and proposed trail undercrossing. The armoring will be a combination of concrete and riprap. The riprap will be vegetated where accessible to sunlight. The MND points out that other locations within the project segment will need to be armored to stabilize slopes which will minimize erosion and provide stabilized slopes for the trail relocation as noted in the Biological Resources, Geology and Soil, and Hydrology and Water Quality sections. No additional structures will be necessary to protect the bridge abutments or trail. Comment 6-3: The Park District requests that the Contra Costa County Flood Control District design the trail undercrossing to Caltrans Chapter 1000 Class I bikeway standards, which calls for at least ten (10) feet of overhead clearance if possible which will also allow enough clearance for equestrians, emergency vehicles and overhead signage if necessary. The Park District will still need to preserve emergency vehicle and maintenance access through the current on street trail entrances for operational purposes. INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION CONTRA COSTA COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT THREE CREEKS PARKWAY RESTORATION PROJECT (SCH# 2016082008) COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT #7562-6D8176; COUNTY CEQA FILE #: CP 16-39 Response: The trail will be designed to the Class I Bikeway standards with the exception that the 10-ft recommended clearance is not achievable under the existing bridge. The design can achieve 8-ft minimum clearance as specified by the Caltrans standards. The Federal Highway Administration standards for equestrians recommends a 12-ft clearance. It is our expectation that equestrians will need to use the Central Blvd. at-grade crossing. Emergency vehicle and maintenance access (EVMA) will be maintained at street level as well. Claudia Gemberling, Environmental Analyst II Contra Cost County Public Works Department 255 Glacier Drive Martinez, CA 94553 RE: Notice of Public Review and Intent to Adopt a Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration Dear Ms. Gemberling, The East Bay Regional Park District (Park District) has reviewed the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the Three Creeks Parkway Restoration (the project), proposed by the Contra Costa County Flood Control District (CCCFCD). The Park District has a long term commitment to protecting and maintaining open space in Contra Costa County and providing safe non-motorized public transportation and recreational opportunities by way of our Regional Trail Network. The District operates and maintains the Marsh Creek Regional Trail (the Trail) on the east side of Marsh Creek, which is within the project’s scope. The project proposes to relocate the trail for approximately 0.8 mile as part of the restoration effort of Marsh Creek. The Park District appreciates the CCCFCD’s willingness to relocate the existing trail above the 100 year flood plain to avoid increased maintenance costs and potential trail closures. The CCCFCD is considering a pervious surface for the trail as part of the proposal required by the East Contra Costa Habitat Conservancy. The Park District maintains this portion of the Marsh Creek Trail and requests that a local funding mechanism be established to accommodate additional maintenance required for this type of surface. The City of Brentwood is proposing to widen Central Blvd to four (4) lanes by adding a new bridge. The Park District has safety concerns regarding the increased distance trail users would have to travel across Central Blvd. once additional lanes are added. The Park District supports the trail passing under the bridge(s) on Central Blvd. and the elimination of the existing at grade crossing; which is a much safer experience for trail users and may improve traffic flow on Central Blvd. There are several schools within .5 mile of the project, and students and parents will be able to walk/bike to school on a safer route with this improvement. Additional structures required to protect the bridge abutments and trail alignment under the bridge, which may encroach into the creek channel, will need to be included in your CEQA analysis. The Park District requests that CCCFCD design the trail undercrossing to Caltrans Chapter 1000 Class I bikeway standards, which calls for at least ten (10) feet of overhead clearance if possible. This also allows enough clearance for equestrians, emergency vehicles and overhead signage if necessary. The Park District will still need to preserve emergency vehicle and maintenance access (EVMA) through the current on street trail entrances for operational purposes. The Park District appreciates the opportunity to review the IS/MND and provide comments. We look forward to working with the CCCFCD on this project. Please provide any future information and design plans for Park District review. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at (510) 544-2609, or by e-mail at swilson@ebparks.org.

CHEVRON (September 1, 2016) Comment 7-1: Leidos Engineering LLC, on behalf of Chevron Environmental Management Company (CEMC), describes the background of inactive, historic crude-oil pipelines within the project vicinity and identifies the approximate location of the former Old Valley Pipeline (OVP) and Tidewater Associated Oil Company (TAOC) alignments with respect to the project’s layout. Leidos further states that CEMC conducted risk assessments at numerous locations within known historical crude-oil release points along the former OVP and TAOC pipelines and analytical results have indicated that the crude-contaminated soil was non-hazardous. If soil affected by the historical release of crude oil from these former pipelines is encountered during construction activities it may be reused as backfill on site. Parties conducting construction activities in the vicinity of these former pipeline rights-of-way may wish to use the information provided in the letter to help prepare for the possibility of encountering pipelines and pipeline- related asbestos-containing materials ACM during the course of their work. Response: Comments have been noted and forwarded to the project design team. No further response is necessary. Mike N.

Box 6012 San Ramon, CA 94583 Tel (925) 842 9922 mike.oliphant@chevron.com September 1, 2016 Stakeholder Communication – Contra Costa County Ms. Claudia Gemberling Environmental Analyst II Contra Costa County Public Works Department 255 Glacier Drive Martinez, California 94553 Subject: Comments on the Initial Study and Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project Chevron Environmental Management Company Historical Pipeline Portfolio–Bakersfield to Richmond Dear Ms. Gemberling: On behalf of Chevron Environmental Management Company (CEMC), Leidos, Inc. (Leidos; CEMC contract consultant) recently reviewed the Initial Study and Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project (proposed project). The information contained in this letter may help you to understand something about Chevron's former pipeline operations in the City of Brentwood, as residual weathered crude oil, abandoned pipeline, and asbestos-containing materials (ACM) could potentially be encountered during subsurface construction activities in the vicinity of these former pipeline locations within the existing former pipeline rights of way (ROW). Portions of the former Old Valley Pipeline (OVP) and Tidewater Associated Oil Company (TAOC) pipelines existed in the vicinity of the proposed project area. These formerly active pipelines were constructed in the early 1900s and carried crude oil from the southern San Joaquin Valley to the San Francisco Bay Area. Pipeline operations for the OVP ceased in the 1940s, and in the 1970s for the TAOC pipelines. When pipeline operations ceased, the pipelines were taken out of commission. The degree and method of decommissioning varied: in some instances the pipelines were removed, while in others they remained in place. Because these pipelines have been decommissioned, with the majority of pipelines having been removed, they are not readily identified as underground utilities through the Underground Service Alert North System or utility surveys. Figure 1 illustrates the locations of the former OVP and TAOC ROWs with respect to the proposed project area. The location of the pipelines shown on Figure 1 is based on historical as-built drawings and the approximated positional accuracy of the alignments is generally +/- 50 feet. The OVP and TAOC pipelines were installed at depths of up to 10 feet below ground surface. The steel pipelines were typically encased in a protective coating composed of coal tar and ACM. Working under the direction of State regulatory agencies, CEMC conducted risk assessments at numerous locations with known historical crude-oil release points along the former OVP and TAOC pipelines. Analytical results from these risk assessments indicated that the crude-contaminated soil was non-hazardous. Accordingly, it is likely that Ms. Claudia Gemberling – Contra Costa County Public Works Department September 1, 2016 Page 2 of 2 if soil affected by the historical release of crude oil from these former pipelines is encountered during construction activities it may be reused as backfill on site. Properly abandoned crude-oil pipeline may be left in the ground. Parties conducting construction activities in the vicinity of these former pipeline ROWs may wish to use the information provided in this letter to help prepare for the possibility of encountering abandoned pipelines and pipeline-related ACM during the course of their work. For more information regarding these historic pipelines, please visit http://www.hppinfo.com/.

CITY OF BRENTWOOD PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT (September 2, 2016) Comment 8-1: The City of Brentwood Public Works Department (City) suggested to include in the last paragraph of Section 2.2 “Project Location and Surrounding Land Uses” on page 8 that the planned linear city park part of the Pulte development is planned to be under construction during the spring and/or summer of 2017. Response: Comment noted and is included in this CEQA record for the final IS/MND. No further response is necessary. Comment 8-2: The City notes that the footnotes to Table 1 in Section 2.4 “Project Components” on page 10 indicate that the parcel numbers and ownership information are shown on Figures 4, 6, and 8, but the information is not shown. Response: Comment noted. The figures have been updated and included in this CEQA record for the final IS/MND. No further response is necessary. Comment 8-3: The City commented that Section 2.4.1 “Middle Reach” does not address the “Phase II Design Alternative” widening shown in blue and noted on Figure 7. Response: The intent was to have an alternative if the sewer line could be relocated in accordance with City requirements. Comment 8-4: The City recommends not using the term “relocation” in Section 2.4.3 Sewer Line Relocation on page 17 (page number not shown) because the sewer line will remain in place and suggested revising to “Existing Sewer Main”. Response: Comment noted and is included in this CEQA record for the final IS/MND. No further response is necessary. Comment 8-5: The City recommends changing the wording to “City of Brentwood Encroachment and/or Grading Permit” in Section 2.7 “Permits and Approvals Required” in the last line on page 19 as the City will want to review items such as construction plans, haul truck routes, traffic control, bonds, working hours, and possibly impose conditions such as repair of improvements damaged during construction, periodic coordination with City staff, and potential need for settlement monitoring. Response: Comment noted and is included in this CEQA record for the final IS/MND. No further response is necessary. INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION CONTRA COSTA COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT THREE CREEKS PARKWAY RESTORATION PROJECT (SCH# 2016082008) COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT #7562-6D8176; COUNTY CEQA FILE #: CP 16-39 Comment 8-6: The City of Brentwood PWD comments on Section 5.8.2 “Hazards and Hazardous Materials” discussion item g on page 60 that if APN 017-110-011 “DLT Ventures (Griffith)” is not made available for soil stockpiling, it does not appear that the project has adequate space at other locations to stockpile a significant amount of excavated material based on the other parcels identified in Section 2.4, Table 1. This could result in a frequency of haul truck traffic that is worthy of further consideration. The City’s permit process will help identify the haul routes and traffic control that will be needed to mitigate impacts. The City recommends considering less precise language that would leave open the possibility of access from alternative locations. Construction staging may require cycling earthmoving trucks through the project if turn-around space is limited. The City comments that it should be stipulated that access and haul routes will be agreed upon during the design process, prior to construction. Response: Comments noted. The MND analyzed potential stockpile locations and haul routes. Feasible stockpile locations and haul routes will be finalized during the permit process prior to start of construction. Comment 8-7: The City comments that while the statement in the “Background” of Section 5.16.1 “Transportation and Traffic” is true for access directly to the creek, other possible access points as shown in Figure 3 should be mentioned and evaluated. The City also comments that it should be noted that some of the streets mentioned may be under developer control, or may be deemed not suitable for haul truck traffic, and therefore not allowed for construction access. Response: Comments noted. Some of the access points shown in Figure 3 are for public access to existing and planned city parks part of the Pulte Development (i.e., Bella Drive, Island Palm Way) which may not be accessible upon project completion as noted by the City but will be determined during the design process. As noted in discussion items a, b of Section 5.16, construction vehicles would access the project site via local roadways and existing maintenance roads or the regional trail along the creek. Central Blvd. and Dainty Avenue are local roadways that provide access to the project site and trail; the County Flood Control District maintenance road at Sungold Park within the Carmel Estates development is another access point. Comment 8-8: The City comments that discussion items “a” and “b” in Section 5.16.3 “Transportation and Traffic” on page 75 discusses the duration of construction and construction traffic and suggests noting the number of trips per day that would be needed to achieve those durations. The City also comments that traffic control measures for hauling trucks would likely be justified, and required, as part of an encroachment permit. And, notes that if parcel 017-110-011 would be used for INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION CONTRA COSTA COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT THREE CREEKS PARKWAY RESTORATION PROJECT (SCH# 2016082008) COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT #7562-6D8176; COUNTY CEQA FILE #: CP 16-39 stockpiling, and subsequent trucking away from the site, the access to that property for trucking would be Minnesota Avenue. Response: Comments noted. The exact number of trips per day needed to achieve the construction and construction traffic durations will be determined when the contractor obtains the encroachment permit as well as traffic control measures for haul trucks. Comment 8-9: The City comments on Section 5.17 “Utilities and Service Systems” that even though a conflict or interaction with the existing sewer system, other than adjustments to manhole lids, is extremely unlikely, a response protocol should be created that identifies what actions need to be taken in the event of damage to existing facilities. The City also comments that the City requires vehicular access over the sanitary sewer main that is not subject to the 100 year flood event and proposed widening near 371+00 would appear to impact that requirement, but widening may have already been accomplished at that location. No typical section for 371+00 is provided to clarify. Relocation of the sanitary sewer main may be necessary to ensure the aforementioned requirement is met. Response: Comments noted. A response protocol will be prepared prior to construction to address necessary actions in the event of damage to the City’s existing facilities. The existing sewer line location is below the existing top of bank at station 371+00 and is currently below the 100-year flood event. The proposed project will not affect this condition. The proposed project grading begins immediately downstream of station 371+00 and transitions to a widened left bank. The City will have an opportunity to review project plans to ensure an acceptable design.

City staff has reviewed it and offers the following comments for your consideration: 1. Section 2.2 “Project Location and Surrounding Land Uses,” Page 8: In the last paragraph of the section, it may be worth noting that the park is planned to be under construction during the spring and/or summer of 2017. 2. Section 2.4 “Project Components”, Page 10: The footnotes to Table 1 indicate that the parcel numbers and ownership information are shown on Figures 4, 6, and 8, but the information is not shown. 3. Section 2.4.1 “Middle Reach”: This section does not address the “Phase II Design Alternative” widening shown in blue and noted on Figure 7. 4. Section 2.4.3 “Sewer Line Relocation”, Page 17 (page number not shown): I would recommend not using the term “relocation” because the sewer line will remain in place. Maybe something more general like “Existing Sewer Main” would be more appropriate. 5. Section 2.7 “Permits and Approvals Required”, Page 19, last line: I would recommend changing the wording to “City of Brentwood Encroachment and/or Grading Permit”. With the encroachment permit application process, the city will want to review items such as construction plans, haul truck routes, traffic control, bonds, working hours, and possibly impose conditions such as repair of improvements damaged during construction, periodic coordination with city staff, and potential need for settlement monitoring. 6. Section 5.8.2, discussion item g, Page 60: a. If APN 017-110-011 “DLT Ventures (Griffith)” is not made available for stockpiling, It does not appear that the project has adequate space at other locations to stockpile a significant amount of excavated material, based on the other parcels identified in the Section 2.4, Table 1. This could result in a frequency of haul truck traffic that is worthy of further consideration. The City’s permit process will help identify the haul routes and traffic control that will be needed to mitigate impacts. b. I recommend considering less precise language that would leave open the possibility of access from alternative locations. Construction staging may require cycling earthmoving trucks through the project if turn-around space is limited. It should be stipulated that access and haul routes will be agreed upon during the design process, prior to construction. 7. Section 5.16.1, “Background” – While the statement is true for access directly to the creek, what if other access points are possible? Shouldn't those be mentioned and evaluated also? Other access points are shown on the exhibit for Figure 3, but not discussed anywhere else. However, it should also be noted that some of the streets mentioned above may be under developer control, or may be deemed not suitable for haul truck traffic, and therefore not allowed for construction access. 8. Section 5.16.3 (.2 was skipped), discussion items “a” and “b”, Page 75: In the discussion of duration of construction and construction traffic, it might be useful to see the number of trips per day that would be needed to achieve those durations. Traffic control measures for hauling trucks would likely be justified, and required, as part of an encroachment permit. Also, if parcel017-110-011 would be used for stockpiling, and subsequent trucking away from the site, the access to that property for trucking would be Minnesota Ave. 9. Section 5.17, Utilities and Service Systems: Even though a conflict or interaction with the existing sewer system, other than adjustments to manhole lids, is extremely unlikely, a response protocol should be created that identifies what actions need to be taken in the event of damage to the existing facilities. The City of Brentwood requires vehicular access over the sanitary sewer main that is not subject to the 100 yr flood event. Proposed channel widening near 371+00 would appear to impact that requirement, but widening may have already been accomplished at that location. No typical section for 371+00 is provided to clarify. Relocation of the sanitary sewer main may be necessary to ensure the aforementioned requirement is met. Thank you again for the opportunity to review and comment on the IS/MND.

RECOMMENDATION(S): APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Airports to terminate Tiedown Permit for space H-15 with Walter Lyall; and AUTHORIZE County Counsel to pursue legal action. FISCAL IMPACT: The Airport Enterprise Fund will cover the cost of any legal action. BACKGROUND: Walter Lyall has been a long time tenant at Buchanan Field. There have been default issues with the tenant as early as 2009, with hangar F-5. The Board of Supervisors approved Airport’s terminating the hangar agreement in August 2009. Airport staff agreed to set aside the termination with the agreement that the tenant pay past due rents, and make all future payment within the grace period allowed by the lease.

Tenant agreed to make payment and set up payment arrangements; Airport staff suggested that the tenant move to a tiedown space. Airport staff was notified at this time that the aircraft was being put up for sale. In September 2016, the tenant moved the aircraft to tiedown H-15 and made a verbal agreement to make $160.00 a month payments until either the balance was paid in full or the remaining balance was paid from the sale of the aircraft. Upon inspection of the hangar, tenant was notified that remaining items would need to be removed; tenant authorized Airport staff to finish the cleanout. Airport incurred cleanout costs of $1,901.75 and the hangar deposit, for $1,334.89, was transferred to the account and applied to these costs. In October 2017, tenant again stopped making payments. A Notice of Default was sent to the tenant and in accordance with airport polices their gate access card was deactivated. A second Notice of Default was sent in December 2017. A follow-up phone call was made and the tenant promised a payment would be dropped off within the week. A few weeks later, a second phone call was made and again, the tenant promised a payment. On March 5, 2018, the tenant was sent a final Notice of Delinquency requesting payment of $4,073.86 for all outstanding charges. Airport staff is now requesting authority to terminate the Tiedown Permit and to pursue legal action against Tenant through County Counsel to regain possession of tiedown and for the total outstanding charges. Such actions are consistent with adopted Airport policies. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Failure to terminate the Agreement and pursue legal action against Tenant would result in the Airport being unable to enforce adopted Airport policies and procedures RECOMMENDATION(S): APPROVE the conveyance of real property owned by Contra Costa County (County), located at 505 Discovery Bay Boulevard in Discovery Bay and identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 004-200-013 (Property) to Discovery Bay Community Services District (District), pursuant to Government Code Section 25365.

In 1988, Assessor’s Parcel Number 004-200-013, which consists of approximately 9.90 acres of vacant land, was quitclaimed to the County. It has been determined that the Property is no longer required for County use, but is required by the Discovery Bay Community Services District. The subdivision process only allows the land to be dedicated to the County and not the District, therefore, the County intends to convey the Property to the District as it is currently maintaining the property. On February 6, 2018, a Notice of Exemption was filed. (CP# 17-34) CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The County would continue to own and be liable for maintenance of the property.

ATTESTED: March 27, 2018 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: Stacey M. Boyd, Deputy cc: C. 17 To:Board of Supervisors From:Keith Freitas, Airports Director Date:March 27, 2018 Contra Costa County Subject:Approve the Buchanan Field Airport East Ramp F Row Hangar Improvement Project and take related actions under CEQA FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of the improvement project is expected to be at least $496,500. The cost is expected to increase by $192,000 if we include replacing the roof as part of the project. If we add installation of gutters, the cost is expected to increase by an additional $18,000.The project will be entirely funded by the Airport Enterprise Fund. BACKGROUND: The Contra Costa County Public Works Airports Division is in process of improving F Row of the East Ramp hangars at Buchanan Field. The hangar row reverted to the County around 2007, after a long-term lease had expired. The hangar siding is in poor condition and the cost to repaint is comparable to the cost of fully replacing the material. In addition, the doors have become difficult for many of our tenants to operate and it is more cost effective to replace them when the siding has been removed. Plans and specifications have been prepared for the Airports Division by an experienced airport engineering firm. The project consists of replacing the existing hangar siding and doors with new materials. There are seven rows of hangars and the intent is to improve all of them over time. The East Ramp F Row hangars will be the first as it is the most visible from the surrounding community. The Department of Conservation and Development has determined that this project is a Categorical Exemption under Section 15302(c) (Class 2) of the California Environmental Quality Act. The Notice of Exemption (County file CP #18- 06) was administratively approved on March 13, 2018. While a Categorical Exemption has been determined, our department requires that the Board of Supervisors authorize the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise a project for bids. The project is consistent with the Buchanan Field Airport Master Plan adopted by the Board of Supervisors on October 28, 2008, plus governing FAA grant assurances and policies. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The hangar row will not be improved, which could compromise the long-term viability of the facility and result in losing tenants if the doors cannot be operated easily.

ATTESTED: March 27, 2018 David J. Twa, By: ____________________________________, Deputy RECOMMENDATION(S): ADOPT Resolution No. 2018/111 to SUPPORT Proposition 68: The California Clean Water & Safe Parts Act. This measure will allow for direct funding that is made available for fairground improvements, park improvements and flood control and storm water projects. FISCAL IMPACT: No impact to the County's General Fund. BACKGROUND: Proposition 68 is a $4 billion parks, environment and water bond that will appear on the June 2018 ballot. The Proposition was put on the ballot by the passage of SB 5 (Chapters 582, 2017). If Proposition 68 is enacted by a majority “yes” vote it would provide significant funding for parks, water and wildlife conservation through the issuance of $4 billion in general obligation bonds. There is significant focus in the proposed allocations of this bond to provide funding to park-poor and disadvantaged communities. The Bond defines “Disadvantaged community” as a community with a median household income less than 80 percent of the statewide average. This bond includes several allocations that will be of interest to counties including $18 million for improvements to county fairgrounds and $30 million for counties and regional park districts to make park improvements. It also allocates $200 million for a per capita park improvements grant program with 40% of the $200 million made available to counties, regional parks and open APPROVE OTHER RECOMMENDATION OF CNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE Action of Board On: 03/27/2018 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER Clerks Notes: VOTE OF SUPERVISORS AYE:Candace Andersen, District II Supervisor Diane Burgis, District III Supervisor Karen Mitchoff, District IV Supervisor Federal D.

Boyd, Deputy cc: C. 22 To:Board of Supervisors From:Diane Burgis, District III Supervisor Date:March 27, 2018 Contra Costa County Subject:Prop 68 - Clean Water & Safe Parks Act BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) space districts. In addition, there is significant funding for water infrastructure improvement projects; providing up to $100 million for stormwater flood protection and $100 million for multi-benefit flood control projects. SB 5passed both houses of the Legislature on the final day of the legislative session and was signed by Governor Brown on October 15th, 2017. The passage of SB 5 was a top legislative priority of Senate Leader Kevin DeLeon. SB 5 was DeLeon’s second bond to come before the voters. Senator De Leon also authored the last parks and water bond to appear before the voters , Proposition 84 on the 2006 ballot. Proposition 84 passed by 53.9% and authorized $5.4 billion in general obligation bonds to improve parks, protect natural resources, and improve water supply, quality and safety. Despite this investment, the need continues to grow. The California Park & Recreation Society conducted a survey of local and regional park districts to assess unmet need. 45 out of 500 agencies responded and estimated a total unmet need of $1.8 B for local parks. In addition, the Department of Parks and Recreation estimates that there is over $1.2 billion in deferred maintenance cost throughout California’s state park system. Proposition Summary: Proposition 68 includes allocations in four major categories: · Park improvement –$1.2 billion in proposed allocations · Flood protection – $550 million in proposed allocations · Drinking water and groundwater improvements – $1 billion in proposed allocations · Funding for climate resiliency and state conservancies –$1.3 billion in allocations Proposition 68 also focuses on park deficient communities. The measure would require that between 15 and 20 percent of the bond’s funds, depending on the type of project, be dedicated to projects in communities with median household incomes less than 60 percent of the statewide average. The monies allocated for flood protection are focused mainly in the Central Valley and Delta, but also include $100 million for storm water flood prevention projects and $100 million for multibenefit flood projects across the state. The allocations for water projects include funding for drinking water improvements and groundwater protection in the San Joaquin Valley, San Gabriel, Orange County, and San Fernando Valley. Finally, the allocations for conservancies and resiliency programs provide funds to all the state conservancies and fund forest adaptation, fire resiliency, and other various fish and wildlife projects. For a more detailed description of the bond and its chapters see attachment three. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The County will not have an official position on this measure from which to advocate.

ADOPT the following amendments to the adopted 2018 State Legislative Platform: OPPOSE legislative and budgetary actions that result in reduced level of services to families, children, vulnerable adults and seniors, or that lead to preemption of local control. SUPPORT an Increase to the CalWORKS Maximum Aid Payment (MAP) and the annual funding of a CalWORKS cost of living adjustment (COLA). SUPPORT a revision of the budgeting methodology for the CalWORKS Single Allocation. The current methodology ties funding heavily to caseload, which can expand and contract quickly with economic changes. This can result in large variations of funding levels, and inability to respond to changing economic conditions in a timely manner. 2.

ATTESTED: March 27, 2018 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: Kathy Gallagher, EHSD Director C. 33 To:Board of Supervisors From:David Twa, County Administrator Date:March 27, 2018 Contra Costa County Subject:Amendments to the Adopted 2018 State Legislative Platform related to CalWORKs FISCAL IMPACT: With respect to the Single Allocation, Contra Costa County expects to experience a $1.5 million decrease in funding, from $47.7 million to $46.2 million in FY 2018-2019. Advocating for an increase in funding may address this situation. BACKGROUND: The CalWORKs program is a critical component of California’s safety net for families with low incomes, providing families with modest monthly cash grants while helping parents overcome barriers to employment and find work. A number of cuts were made to CalWORKs during and after the Great Recession, including reducing grant levels and eliminating the annual state cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). Recent years’ budgets have incrementally increased CalWORKs grant levels, but this has not been adequate to restore cuts made in prior years. The Governor’s January budget proposal includes a one-time augmentation of $187 million for the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program Single Allocation, which is what the state provides to counties to administer the CalWORKs program. The overall funding for the Single Allocation is $31.8 million lower than in 2017-18; with the additional legislative requirements imposed in FY 2017-18, the total reduction in funding is $56.5 million. The 2017-18 budget required the Administration to work with the County Welfare Directors Association to revise the methodology for the Single Allocation. The revised methodology is needed to insulate counties and beneficiaries from experiencing huge swings in year-to-year funding levels for the single allocation. The conversations about the revised methodology are ongoing. With respect to the Single Allocation, the cuts will affect direct services and staffing related to eligibility activities, employment and supportive services, and child care for CalWORKs families. Contra Costa County expects to experience a $1.5 million decrease in funding, from $47.7 million to $46.2 million in FY 2018-2019. Furthermore, the Governor’s proposed budget for FY 2018-19 does not increase CalWORKs grants or reinstate the COLA. According to the California Budget & Policy Center, if grant levels remain frozen, the proposed maximum monthly grant for a family of three in a high cost county (such as ours) would be $9 lower than in 2007-08, without adjusting for inflation. If grant levels had been adjusted for inflation each year beginning 2007-2008, the maximum grant in 2018-19 would be $963, which is $269 higher than the proposed value of $714. Absent a significant grant increase in the 2018-19 fiscal year, this grant will equal just 41.2% of the federal poverty line, leaving it below the deep-poverty line for the eleventh calendar year. Given the timing of the legislative hearings by the Budget Subcommittees on these issues and the cancellation of the March meeting of the County's Legislation Committee, this matter is being brought forward to the full Board of Supervisors for action so that advocacy by the County may be aligned with the Board's adopted position on these matters.

Glover, 5th District March 27, 2018 The Honorable Dr. Joaquin Arambula Chair, Assembly Budget Subcommittee No. 1 on Health and Human Services State Capitol, Room 6026 Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: OPPOSE Proposed Reduction in Funding for CalWORKs Dear Chair Arambula and Committee Members: The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors opposes the cuts to the CalWORKs Single Allocation proposed in the Governor’s 2018/2019 state budget and supports an increase in CalWORKs grant levels for program participants. The CalWORKs program is a critical component of California’s safety net for families with low incomes, providing families with modest monthly cash grants while helping parents overcome barriers to employment and find work. A number of cuts were made to CalWORKs during and after the Great Recession, including reducing grant levels and eliminating the annual state cost-of- living adjustment (COLA). Recent years’ budgets have incrementally increased CalWORKs grant levels, but this has not been adequate to restore cuts made in prior years.

With respect to the Single Allocation, the cuts will affect direct services and staffing related to eligibility activities, employment and supportive services, and child care for CalWORKs families. Contra Costa County expects to experience a $1.5 million decrease in funding, from $47.7 million to $46.2 million in FY 2018/2019. We understand the cuts are based on a projected 6% decrease in caseloads. However, due to the lack of COLA and inflation adjustments since the Great Recession, we are already in a diminished funding position. In addition, there will be further pressure on resources as we roll out new CalWORKs mandates and initiatives such as CalWORKs 2.0 and CalOAR. David Twa Clerk of the Board and County Administrator (925) 335-1900 Contra Costa County Atttachment A 2 In Contra Costa County, we work with close to 8,000 families who access CalWORKs services. A reduction in the allocation our county receives will have a direct negative impact on our ability to support these families, with children being the most heavily impacted of all. Contra Costa County strongly urges you to maintain level Single Allocation funding for 2018/2019 so that we may continue to serve our neediest families at the intensity level they require for successful outcomes. We also support an increase in the CalWORKs grant levels for participating families.

FISCAL IMPACT: Upon approval, this action has an annual cost of approximately $10,443 with $2,522 in pension costs already included. The cost is entirely offset by Hospital Enterprise Fund I. BACKGROUND: The volume and nature of the work has increased in the Materials Management Unit. There are currently 11 clerks in this unit using multiple computer programs. A supervisor is needed who can answer questions, problem solve, is well versed in accounting procedures, and whose scope of work includes training. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If this action is not approved, the Materials Management Unit of the Health Services Department will not have adequate leadership to supervise the staff who were hired to meet the demands of an increased volume of work.

FISCAL IMPACT: Upon approval, this action has an annual savings of approximately $2,004 with pension savings of $484 already included. BACKGROUND: The Health Services Department is requesting to add a full time Clerk-Experienced Level and cancel one full time Intermediate Typist Clerk-Project position for Behavioral Health Division’s Care Management Unit. The State of California has extended and expanded the funding for the Mental Health Services Act ensuring the funding stream for this position justifying the conversion from a project position to a permanent position. Health Services Department has determined the more appropriate classification to perform the duties associated with the administrative support for the Care Management Unit would be better suited with the classification of Clerk – Experienced Level.

Furthermore, this action enables the program to continue work in creating a career pathway that enables incumbent employees within the Nutrition Assistant classification the ability to work towards certification as a Registered Dietitian through an accepted internship program. Finally, the Public Health program has attempted to fill the existing Senior Public Health Nutritionist positions but has been unsuccessful due to current minimum qualifications associated with the classification. Shifting these three positions into the Public Health Nutritionist classification will better enable the program to fill essential positions. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If this action is not approved, the Public Health Department will not have adequate support to fill positions essential to achieving the State of California’s contracted deliverables.

FISCAL IMPACT: Upon approval, this action will have no net county cost increase. The position deletions have been submitted as part of the fiscal year 2018/2019 budget. BACKGROUND: Beginning in 2000, the Workforce Development Board (WDB) has provided career services for unemployed adults through One-Stop Career Centers under the administrative authority of the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD). With the reduction of both Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and CalWorks funding, EHSD is no longer able to provide these services, and the WDB approved the recommendation to procure a contract for professional services for Adult and Dislocated Worker Career Services on November 7, 2017.

The WDB Executive Committee approved the recommendation to award a contract to Rubicon to provide these services. The new contracts are expected to be effective July 1, 2018. EHSD is requesting to activate Tactical Employment Team Program (TETP) in an effort to mitigate the impact of layoff and displacement for the WDB One-Stop Career Centers. Effective July 1, 2018, the One-Stop Career Center services will be contracted out impacting nine (9) positions at three One-Stop Career Centers. EHSD has been proactively searching for potential placements within the department, however, given classifications and EHSD's budgetary constraints, we are not confident that we will be able to secure placement for all displaced employees within the department. The Human Resources Department will prepare a formal seniority list for each class and the least senior employees in each class will be notified. Affected Classifications: One-Stop Career Center Case Manager (2 positions) Career Center Coordinator (3 positions) One-Stop Operator Consortium Assistant Administrator (1 position) Social Service Employment Placement Counselor (3 positions) Tactical Employment Team Program (TETP) - Attached for reference is a copy of Resolution No. 2008/299, adopted May 6, 2008, which authorized implementation of the Tactical Employment Team Program. The TETP was reinstated in 2008 and is still in operation. The objective of this program is to mitigate the negative impact that anticipated layoffs will have on the County’s workforce. The team is up and running and will continue to work towards finding employment for as many laid-off individuals as possible. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If this action is not approved, we will not be able to mitigate the remaining number of employees laid off from the County.

FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact. The amendment extends the term of the contract. BACKGROUND: Contra Costa County (County) has received funding from the California Department of Community Services and Development for 25 years wherein the County provides energy bill assistance payments and weatherization services to County residents who are income-eligible to receive said services. The funding sources include Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), the Energy Crisis Intervention Program (ECIP), the Department of Energy (DOE), Low Income Weatherization Program (LIWP) and the Toilet Retrofit Program (TRP).

Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: Nelly Ige, Sam Mendoza C. 38 To:Board of Supervisors From:Kathy Gallagher, Employment & Human Services Date:March 27, 2018 Contra Costa County Subject:2017 Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program Funding, Amendment 4 BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) families throughout unincorporated Contra Costa County, as well as the County’s nineteen cities. The energy saving measures may be the provision of hot water heaters, furnaces, refrigerators, microwaves, doors, windows, fluorescent light bulbs, weather stripping, ceiling fans, and attic insulation. A blower door test (a diagnostic tool to locate and correct air infiltration) is conducted on homes, and combustion appliance safety tests are conducted on homes with gas appliances to check for carbon monoxide gas leakage. Homes with gas appliances are provided with a carbon monoxide alarm. The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) funding allows low income County residents to qualify for a credit on their energy bills. Once eligibility is determined, the top priority is clients with no hot water, no heat, or are in danger of having their power shut off, then clients are prioritized by those with the lowest income, highest energy burden and families with at least one resident who is considered to be a member of a vulnerable population. The Board approved receipt of funds for the 2016-17 program year on October 18, 2016 (C.53). Since then, the Board has approved the following three three amendments to the agreement: 1) March 21, 2017 (C.37) to include additional funds and provisions for installing and replacing solar water heaters in homes; 2) September 12, 2017 (C.59) to receive additional funds; and 3) November 7, 2017 (C.44) to receive additional funds. This action is to approve a fourth amendment to extend the term end date by nine months to December 31, 2018. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If not approved, the operation of the LIHEAP program will end on March 31, 2018. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: The Employment and Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau energy program supports one Contra Costa County community outcome - Outcome #4: Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing. This outcome is supported by the provision of home energy assistance to keep households warm in winter and to increase household energy efficiency. RECOMMENDATION(S): APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Department director, or designee, to submit an application to and accept funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of Head Start, in an amount not to exceed $85,800 for a supplemental, one-time grant to provide quality enhancement improvements at Head Start program centers. FISCAL IMPACT: The County will receive a one-time federal grant in an amount not to exceed $85,800. As Grantee, the County is required to generate a 20% non-federal match, however the Department will seek a waiver of the match requirement. The match is usually achieved through collaboration with State Child Development programs and the volunteer hours accrued by Head Start parents and community partners. With this grant, there will be no community or parent involvement. Historically, the Department has been successful in receiving match waivers for similar grant programs.

This board order presents an opportunity for the County to apply for a supplemental, one-time grant to support health and safety quality improvements at County Head Start and Early Head Start programs. The funding term will be for a one year project period, July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. The grant will be reviewed for approval by the Policy Council on March 21, 2018. If the grant is received, the funds are proposed to be utilized for supplies and other expenses for childcare partner COCOKIDS, Inc., and Head Start delegate agency, First Baptist Head Start, to ensure successful implementation of the Early Head Start Childcare Partnership program. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If not approved, the County will be unable to apply for a grant to cover the cost of implementing facility and safety improvements. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: The Community Services Bureau of the Employment & Human Services Department’s Head Start program supports three of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes - Outcome 1: Children Ready for and Succeeding in School, Outcome 3: Families that are Economically Self-sufficient, and Outcome 4: Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing. These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.

Funds in the total amount of $85,000 ($75,000 for the Newell Avenue Pathway project and $10,000 for the Tri-Valley Rising Report) are from the District II allocation of deposits into the Livable Communities Trust Fund (Fund). On December 3, 2013, the Board of Supervisors determined that revenue from the Fund should be spent equally among supervisorial districts. At build-out of the development projects contributing revenue to the Fund, deposits will total $8,448,000. As of March 9, 2018, the fund balance was $7,612,137. The account has earned approximately $457,574 in interest to date. There have been $671,037 in expenditures. Previously approved allocations are shown in Attachment A. BACKGROUND: The Livable Communities Trust Fund (Fund) is a Special Revenue Mitigation Fund established by the Board of Supervisors on November 15, 2005, following the approval of the Camino Tassajara Combined General Plan Amendment Project, also known as the Alamo Creek and Intervening Property residential projects, to implement a condition of approval. The Fund was established to implement the County's Smart Growth Action Plan. The residential developers pay an $8,000 per unit fee (excluding affordable housing portions of the projects) into the Fund. The Department of Conservation and Development administers the Fund. The Newell Avenue Pathway Project The project is located along Newell Avenue in unincorporated Walnut Creek, from Olympic Boulevard to Circle Drive. The overall purpose of the project is to repair the existing decomposed granite path and raise meter boxes to grade, along the southern side of Newell Avenue. The scope of work varies between segments of the path. From Olympic Boulevard to Magnolia Avenue and from 1813 Newell Avenue to Circle Drive, the work includes the installation of decomposed granite mixed with an organic binder to level the path, the installation of pressure treated borders, and the installation and raising of new meter boxes to be level with the finished path. From Magnolia Avenue to 1813 Newell Avenue, the work includes the installation of decomposed granite mixed with an organic binder to depressed areas, as needed, and the installation and raising of new meter boxes to be level with the finished surfaces. The Landscape Company, an on-call contractor with the Public Works Department, will be utilized to complete the repair of the Newell Avenue Pathway project prior to a scheduled surface treatment along Newell Avenue in Summer 2018. An Authorization to Proceed will be provided to the Landscape Company following Board approval with the project commencing in April 2018. The project supports goal five of the Smart Growth Action Plan to help fund transit and transportation improvements which foster smart growth principles. The Public Works Director, or designee, will engage with The Landscape Company through an existing on-call contract, to conduct the Newell Avenue Pathway Project. A map of the proposed project is shown in Attachment B. Tri-Valley Rising Report The Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership group in partnership with the Bay Area Council Economic Institute, proposes the 2018 Tri-Valley Rising Report, an update to the 2013 Tri-Valley Rising report. The 2013 report on the Tri-Valley focused specifically on its economic and physical interconnectedness to the broader Bay Area. The 2018 update to the report will dive deeper into the elements of the Tri-Valley economy that make it one of the most economically prosperous parts of the Bay Area region. It is an essential and unique document that measures, advances, and markets the Tri-Valley today. It provides a compelling narrative of the economic strength of the five cities and two counties, but also points out the challenges faced. The report supports goal three of the Smart Growth Action Plan to promote innovative land use planning and design principles that encourage mixed use and infill development and goal four to promote economic revitalization in urban infill communities. The 2018 report will be divided into four main points of analysis including the economic overview of the Tri-Valley, the indicators of entrepreneurialism in the Tri-Valley, the relationship of land use and transportation planning to economic success, and the vision for the future of the Tri-Valley. The Department of Conservation and Development Director, or designee, will execute a contract on behalf of the County, with the Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership Group to fund the report $10,000 to assist the 2018 Tri-Valley Rising Report finalization and publication. Other sources of financing include funding from the Cities of Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, San Ramon, and the Town of Danville. In addition, Alameda County Supervisors from District 1 and 4 are contributing to the updated report. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The Newell Avenue Pathway project would not receive the subject funds, and the ability to complete the project would be compromised. The Tri-Valley Rising project would not receive the subject funds, and the ability to publish the report would be compromised.

They also gave us federal updates, guidance on new facility acquisition, and an orientation to the new Head Start grant application guidelines.  CSB’s Education Team met with Sonja LaCaze, Region IX Early Child hood Specialist (ECS) to review CSB’s Practice Based Coaching (PBC) and Teaching, Learning and Collaborative (TLC) plan which also includes partner sites. Sonja provided feedback and complimented us on the comprehensive coaching plan we have implemented.  The annual and nationally recognized Give Kids a Smile Day was a huge success at CSB! A total of 378 children received dental exams and fluoride varnish. The success of this event is a result of the teamwork of the Contra Costa Dental Society, local volunteer dentists, the DVC Dental Hygiene Program and CSB’s own dedicated staff. Six (6) volunteer dentists at five (5) sites provided dental exams, while DVC students assisted dentists, applied fluoride varnish and provided o ral health education. Some DVC students went the extra mile to dress up as the tooth fairy, wear Minnie Mouse ears or bring a singing teddy bear to promote oral health education.  CSB Director, Camilla Rand, and nine (9) CSB staff members attended the California Head Start Association (CHSA) Conference on February 5-9. Staff included Janissa Rowley, Magda Bedros, Amy Wells, Julia Kittle -White, Shawn Powers, Chantal Atwood, Ayana McLeod, and two teachers; Blanca Torres, pre -school teacher and Ruby Kaur, infant teacher from Contra Costa College. Participants received updates from CHSA’s director and had an opportunity to attend several educati on workshops and exhibit halls. The teachers where interested in learning strategies for implementing CLASS, Project Approach, Best Practices, and staff wellness.  Assistant Directors, Pam Arrington, Carolyn Johnson, Isabel Renggenathen and ASA III, Sarah Reich, have been selected to participate in t he 2018 EHSD Leadership Academy. The Leadership Academy is a unique ly designed leadership program that is customized especially for the leaders in EHSD.  All sites and unit staff celebrated "Pride in Food Service Week" during the week of February 5-9. CSB’s Child Nutrition Unit staff enjoyed and appreciated the variety of recogni tion gestures they received throughout the week. The weeklong celebration concluded with a special luncheon for the Child Nutrition staff which was sponsored by Kinder’s. cc: Policy Council Chair 2  The CSB Child Care Partner Until will be hosting its first ever Education Manager Meeting for our child care partners on March 8th, which will focus on child assessment, child outcomes and school readiness data.  Magda Bedros, Child Care Unit Assistant Director-TU, presented a workshop at the recent California Head Start Association Conference called, “The Impact of Trauma on Young Children.”  Make Parenting A Pleasure (MPAP) workshops were recently held at GMIII and GMC. All Head Start and Early Head Start families are welcome to attend regardless of which center their child attends. During the sessions, parents reviewed the importance of taking care of themselves and being mindful, so that they will be available and ready to engage and relate to their children.  CSB in collaboration with the Community Financial Resources (CFR) is providing financial literacy opportunities for all staff . Monthly workshops began in January and will continue until March 2018. We have received great responses from our staff, and the registration actually exceeded the limit capacity of training participants. 37 staff signed up for these workshops. Staff evaluation forms reflect that staff greatly appreciates the opportunity to participate in these trainings. I. Status Updates: a.

ACCEPT the annual progress report by the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) on implementation of the Contra Costa County General Plan 2005-2020, as required under California Government Code Section 65400. 2. DIRECT DCD staff to forward the General Plan annual progress report to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), as required under California Government Code Section 65400. FISCAL IMPACT: No impact to the General Fund. The report on the County's progress in implementing its General Plan is funded 100% from the Land Development Fund, FY 2017/2018. BACKGROUND: California Government Code Section 65400 requires the planning agency for certain cities and all 58 counties to submit an annual report to their legislative body (city council or board of supervisors, respectively), OPR, and HCD on the status of their General Plan and progress on its implementation. The annual report provides the local legislative body with information regarding the status of its General Plan APPROVE OTHER RECOMMENDATION OF CNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE Action of Board On: 03/27/2018 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER Clerks Notes: VOTE OF SUPERVISORS AYE:Candace Andersen, District II Supervisor Diane Burgis, District III Supervisor Karen Mitchoff, District IV Supervisor Federal D.

ATTESTED: March 27, 2018 David J.

Additionally, it enables OPR to track progress on a local jurisdiction's General Plan in terms of its comprehensiveness and consistency with the current OPR General Plan Guidelines and other State mandates. There is no standardized form or format for preparation of the General Plan annual progress report. OPR leaves it up to each jurisdiction to determine which locally-relevant issues are important to include, but they do suggest general content to cover within the report. The attached report covering calendar year 2017 follows the general guidance of OPR in terms of content. Staff notes that under a separate section of the Government Code, all local jurisdictions are required to submit a report to HCD on certain housing information, including the jurisdiction's progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to development of housing. On March 27, 2018, the Board is scheduled to consider accepting the County's General Plan Housing Element implementation report for 2017. Information in that report is incorporated into the attached General Plan annual progress report. Staff calls to the Board's attention the County's progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs. Current data indicates that through calendar year 2017, the third year of the current eight-year Housing Element cycle, the County has issued building permits for 62.6 percent of its allocated share of the region's housing needs. While the County has already made significant progress in achieving gross housing production goals, production of new housing units available to households in the low- and very low-income categories continues to stagnate. In 2017, the County issued three permits for new units available to low- and very low-income households. Through the first three years of the current housing cycle only 11 such permits have been issued, constituting 1.2 percent of the total building permits issued for new units. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: State law requires DCD to submit this report to the Board of Supervisors prior to submitting it to OPR and HCD. The purpose of this report is to provide an update to the Board of Supervisors on General Plan implementation.

INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE OF ANNUAL REPORT Purpose of this report is to comply with California Government Code section 65400(b)(1), which mandates that all cities and counties submit to their legislative bodies an annual report on the status of their General Plan and progress in its implementation. A copy of this report will, as required under the statute, be provided to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The County will provide a separate report to HCD in fulfillment of a statutory requirement to report certain housing information, including the County’s progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to maintenance, improvement, and development of housing, as defined in Government Code sections 65584 and 65583. In compliance with Government Code Section 65400(b)(1), this General Plan Annual Progress covering calendar year 2017 has been prepared for the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors’ consideration and acceptance. This report: 1. Summarizes the status of the Contra Costa County General Plan and describes steps taken to implement General Plan policies in 2017; 2. Provides a summary of General Plan Amendments (GPAs) adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 2017; 3. Describes Housing Element implementation pursuant to Government Code sections 65584 and 65583(c)(3); and 4. Concludes with a discussion on goals, objectives, and work activities related to General Plan implementation for calendar years 2018 and 2019. II. GENERAL PLAN STATUS AND IMPLEMENTATION A. GENERAL PLAN BACKGROUND The Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) is a division of the planning agency for the unincorporated area of Contra Costa County and is responsible for proper preparation and administration of the County General Plan (County Ordinance Code section 26-2.808[1]). The Board of Supervisors adopted a comprehensive General Plan in January 1991 following an extensive public outreach and participation process initiated in 1986. This updated General Plan superseded the County’s prior General Plan (and each of the previously adopted elements), and consolidated several area-specific General Plans into one comprehensive document. The General Plan was re-adopted by the Board of Supervisors in July 1996 to consolidate General Plan Amendments approved between 1991 to 1995 and correct minor errors and omissions discovered in the original 1991 General Plan text. This reconsolidated General Plan covered the period from 1995 through 2010. The General Plan was re-adopted again in January 2005 to consolidate General Plan Amendments adopted between 1995 and 2004, revise text and maps to reflect the 1999 incorporation of the City of Oakley (formerly an unincorporated community covered under the County General Plan), and incorporate the 2001 Housing Element update. The second County General Plan “reconsolidation” covers the period from 2005 through 2020. Contra Costa County 2017 General Plan Annual Progress Report 2 Government Code section 65302 specifies the seven mandatory General Plan elements. Each mandatory element of the County General Plan was prepared or updated in compliance with the State of California General Plan Guidelines published by OPR. Local jurisdictions may also include optional elements as they see fit. The County General Plan includes two such elements. Table 1 indicates the status of each General Plan element, including the year it was originally adopted and the year it was most recently revised. TABLE 1: STATUS OF GENERAL PLAN ELEMENTS Element First Adopted Last Revised Land Use 1963 2005 Transportation/Circulation 1963 2005 Housing 1970 2014 Conservation 1973 2005 Open Space 1973 2005 Safety 1975 2005 Noise 1975 2005 Growth Management (optional) 1991 2005 Public Facilities/Services (optional) 1972 2005 B. ADOPTED GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2017 Pursuant to Government Code section 65358(b), the County may amend the mandatory General Plan elements up to four times per calendar year. However, each amendment may include more than one change to the General Plan. DCD refers to amendments to the mandatory elements as “consolidated” because each may consolidate multiple changes in one action. The Board of Supervisors, acting in its capacity as the legislative body for the unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County, adopted four amendments to the County General Plan during calendar year 2017, which are summarized as follows:  1st Consolidated General Plan Amendment Saranap Village Mixed-Use Project (County File GP#13-0003): Amended the Land Use Element Map, Transportation and Circulation Element text, and Roadway Network Map to allow a mixed-use infill project consisting of 198 multi-family units and approximately 22,000 square feet of neighborhood-serving commercial uses. Adopted by the Board of Supervisors on August 15, 2017. Initiated by the private sector.  2nd Consolidated General Plan Amendment Olympic Boulevard Five-Lot Subdivision (County File GP#15-0002): Amended the Land Use Element Map to increase the allowed density at an infill site. Adopted by the Board of Supervisors on December 5, 2017. Initiated by the private sector.  3rd Consolidated General Plan Amendment Land Use Element Map Update (County File #GP17-0005): Amended the Land Use Element Map to reflect land acquisitions and use by public agencies. Adopted by the Board of Supervisors on December 19, 2017. Initiated by the County. Contra Costa County 2017 General Plan Annual Progress Report 3 Commercial Solar Energy Amendment (County File #GP17-0006): Amended the text of the Land Use Element to allow commercial/distribution-scale solar energy generating facilities in areas designated Commercial, Light Industry, and Heavy Industry on the Land Use Element Map. Adopted by the Board of Supervisors on December 19, 2017. Initiated by the County. C. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES RELATED TO GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION INITIATED IN 2017 Proposals to amend the General Plan, whether submitted from the private sector or County-initiated, must be preliminarily reviewed by the Board of Supervisors before DCD may begin the full GPA process. In 2017 the Board of Supervisors preliminarily reviewed the following proposals:  Bixler Road Mini-Storage GPA (County File GP#17-0001): A request to amend the Land Use Element Map to redesignate a 6.6-acre site from Office to Commercial to allow development of a mini-storage facility. Initiated by the private sector.  Discovery Bay Mixed-Use GPA (County File: GP#17-0003): A request to amend the Land Use Element Map to redesignate a 7.2-acre infill site from Commercial to Multiple- Family Residential – Medium Density to allow development of a multi-family residential project. Initiated by the private sector. D. COMPLIANCE WITH OFFICE OF PLANNING AND RESEARCH GENERAL PLAN GUIDELINES AND ASSOCIATED DIRECTIVES Government Code section 65400 requires jurisdictions to discuss the degree to which the adopted General Plan complies with the General Plan Guidelines. The Guidelines provide a definitive interpretation of State statutes and case law as they relate to the General Plan. Additionally, the Guidelines outline the general framework for preparation and revision of a General Plan, Attorney General Opinions, and the relationship of the General Plan to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Guidelines are advisory in nature rather than prescriptive, and thereby preserve opportunities for a local jurisdiction to address contemporary planning topics in a locally appropriate manner. DCD staff has determined that the County General Plan is consistent with the 2003 version of the Guidelines. OPR issued a comprehensive update to the Guidelines in August 2017. This new version includes topics and issues not currently addressed in the County General Plan, such as climate change, environmental justice, and community health. The County will address these and other topics as part of the upcoming General Plan update (see discussion below). In addition to the General Plan Guidelines, OPR has issued other advisories and guidance related to State planning law requirements for cities and counties. DCD has endeavored to incorporate these advisories into the County’s planning process. For example, in November 2005 OPR issued a supplement to the Guidelines providing advisory guidance on the process for consulting with California Native American tribes during adoption or amendment of local General Plans or Specific Plans in order to protect Traditional Tribal Cultural Places (also known as SB 18 Tribal Consultation). DCD has established a protocol for SB 18 Tribal Consultation on General Plan Amendments and Specific Plans in accordance with the November 2005 guidance. Contra Costa County 2017 General Plan Annual Progress Report 4 In December 2010 OPR provided guidance on amending circulation elements in response to AB 1358 (Leno), The California Complete Streets Act, which requires cities and counties to plan for development of multi-modal transportation networks. In 2008, the Board of Supervisors amended the Land Use, Transportation and Circulation, and Open Space Elements of the General Plan to include language supporting the Complete Streets philosophy. Then in July 2016 the Board adopted the Complete Streets Policy of Contra Costa County, which builds upon the 2008 amendments. Pursuant to AB 1358, Complete Streets/multi-modal transportation planning will be fully integrated into the Transportation and Circulation Element upon its next substantial revision, which is anticipated to occur in 2020 (see below). In May 2015 OPR issued a technical advisory on fire hazard planning which among other things, provides guidance on amending safety elements pursuant to SB 1241 (Kehoe). DCD is in the process of amending the County General Plan Safety Element to comply with SB 1241 (see below). OPR has also worked to improve communication and encourage collaboration between local governments and the United States military on land use planning and development issues in response to passage in 2002 of SB 1468 (Knight) and SB 1462 (Kuehl) in 2004. DCD has established a protocol to determine whether notification to the U.S. military is necessary if a project is located within 1,000 feet of a military installation or within special airspace as defined in the Public Resources Code section 21098. DCD uses the California Military Land Use Compatibility Analyst, which was prepared by the State Resources Agency in conjunction with OPR to help cities and counties find the location of military installations and training facilities within their jurisdiction and to determine whether a project triggers notification to the U.S. military. III. HOUSING ELEMENT IMPLEMENTION AND PROGRESS IN MEETING SHARE OF REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS The County General Plan Housing Element was preliminarily approved by the Board of Supervisors in 1970, approximately one year after State law established the element as one of the mandatory General Plan elements. The Housing Element was formally adopted by the Board in December 1980 following new mandates established in the mid-1970s, and has been updated several times as part of the mandated cycle of Housing Element updates adopted by the State Legislature beginning in 1985. The current Housing Element, which was certified by HCD on March 11, 2015, sets forth the County’s housing goals, objectives, policies, and implementation measures. The attached tables listed as A, A3, B, and C are from Contra Costa County’s Annual Housing Element Progress Report for 2017. These tables contain detailed information pertaining to progress and implementation activities for the 5th Cycle Housing Element planning period, which began January 31, 2015, and ends in 2023. A. SHARE OF REGIONAL HOUSING NEED Table 2 summarizes the County’s share of projected regional housing needs in the San Francisco Bay Area over the 5th Cycle Housing Element planning period.

This represents a 3.6 percent annual increase from 2016. Through 2017, the third year of the 5th Cycle, the County has issued permits for 62.6 percent of its RHNA share and has already exceeded its share of above-moderate income units. The County is on pace to exceed its share of moderate-income units as well. However, only 3 permits were issued in 2017 for units which would be affordable to very low- or low-income households (income at 51 to 80 percent of the area median income [AMI] for Contra Costa County). While the County is well on its way toward meeting its total 1 Source: ABAG Website, Regional Housing Need Plan for the San Francisco Bay Area: 2014-2022 2 Indicates percentage of units constructed during the current reporting year relative to the total RHNA for each income category. 3 Indicates cumulative percentage of units constructed for the 5th Cycle relative to the total RHNA for each income category. Contra Costa County 2017 General Plan Annual Progress Report 6 RHNA share, 84.2 percent of new housing production has been in the above-moderate income category and less than 1 percent has been in the very-low and low-income categories. C. BARRIERS TO HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING ACTIVITY IN CALENDAR YEAR 2017 Market factors such as the high cost of land suitable for residential development and high construction costs continue to be the most significant constraints on development of affordable housing in Contra Costa County. The County attempts to counter these factors with strategies and subsidy programs, which are identified in the General Plan Housing Element, aimed at developing affordable rental housing and expanding homeownership opportunities. The key funding sources the County utilizes include Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Act, Emergency Solutions Grant Funds, Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), Mental Health Services Act, Housing Successor (former Redevelopment Set-Aside) Funds, bond financing, Mortgage Credit Certificates, low-income housing tax credits, and Section 8 Assistance. Table C, attached, briefly outlines the housing programs contained in the Housing Element and describes their 2017 performance. Some notable County actions include:  Issuing $146.79 million in tax-exempt bonds for construction of 376 new units in the unincorporated community of North Richmond and cities of El Cerrito and Richmond.  Issuing $19.50 million in tax-exempt bonds for rehabilitation of 114 units in the unincorporated community of Bay Point and City of Concord.  Providing $625,000 in HOME funds to support rehabilitation of a 14-unit apartment complex in the community of Bay Point.  Issuing $100,000 in CDBG funds for an 82-unit senior housing project in the City of Pleasant Hill.  Weatherizing 348 residential units (273 extremely-low income and 75 very-low income).  Providing 24 Mortgage Credit Certificates worth $1.89 million for first-time homebuyers.  Approving a 193-unit apartment project in the community of Bay Point, which included a density bonus.  Issuing 28 building permits for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).  Amending the ADU Ordinance to streamline approval of internal conversions.  Adopting the Farmworker Housing Ordinance. A barrier to affordable housing also exists in the form of discrimination. Contra Costa County affirmatively furthers fair housing through the ongoing support of fair housing counseling, education, and outreach activities. In addition, all housing projects funded by the County are required to undertake broad marketing activities in a manner consistent with federal and State fair housing laws, including outreach to underserved populations. The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing (AI) was adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 2010 and updated April 2017. Contra Costa County 2017 General Plan Annual Progress Report 7 IV. GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND WORK ACTIVITIES RELATED TO GENERAL PL AN IMPLEMENTION FOR CALENDAR YEARS 2018 AND 2019 In 2018 and 2019 DCD will continue a significant work effort associated with General Plan implementation in response to the following State mandates: Safety Element Fire Hazard Severity Map – As required under SB 1241, the Fire Hazard Severity Map in the Safety Element will be updated to reflect new mapping by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) of wildland fire hazards and risks, and to identify State responsibility areas and very-high fire hazard severity zones in Contra Costa County. Accordingly, the Safety Element’s goals, policies, and implementation measures related to wildland fire hazards will be reviewed and updated, as necessary. Land Use Element Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities – SB 244 (Wolk, 2011) requires cities and counties to address the infrastructure and service needs of unincorporated disadvantaged communities (DUCs) in their respective General Plans. DUCs are defined under SB 244 as:  Containing 10 or more dwelling units in close proximity to one another;  Within a city Sphere of Influence (SOI), or is an island surrounded by a city, or is geographically isolated and has existed for more than 50 years; and,  Having a median household income that is 80 percent or less than the statewide median household income. SB 244 requires that the Land Use Element be updated to identify DUCs and analyze the water, wastewater, stormwater drainage, and structural fire protection deficiencies and needs for each. Funding alternatives for extension of services to the DUCs must also be identified. General Plan Update The term of the County General Plan extends through calendar year 2020. In December 2017, the Board of Supervisors formally directed DCD staff to begin an update of the General Plan and provided direction regarding the document’s content. Among other improvements, the updated General Plan will address economic development, community health, climate change, and environmental justice; include a fully rewritten Transportation and Circulation Element to address SB 743; and incorporate the most recent version of numerous planning documents such as Plan Bay Area 2040, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s 2017 Clean Air Plan, the Delta Protection Commission's updated Land Use and Resource Management Plan for the Primary Zone of the Delta, the Contra Costa County Community Climate Action Plan, and the Contra Costa County Hazard Mitigation Plan. Work on the General Plan update will begin in earnest in 2018 and extend through 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact. BACKGROUND: The Housing Element is one of seven mandatory elements that every jurisdiction must include in its General Plan. State law mandates that all local governments adequately plan to meet the existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community. The Association of Bay Area Governments allocates the Bay Area regional housing need to all the cities and counties in the Bay Area. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65400, the County is required to submit an annual report to the State Department of Housing and Community Development and the State Office of Planning and Research by April 1st of each year.

ATTESTED: March 27, 2018 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: C. 83 To:Board of Supervisors From:John Kopchik, Director, Conservation & Development Department Date:March 27, 2018 Contra Costa County Subject:Annual Housing Element Progress Report for Calendar Year 2017 BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) Jurisdictions are also required to submit the annual report to their legislative bodies for review and comment. Attached to this Board Order is the County's 2017 Annual Housing Element Progress Report. The County's Housing Element (Fifth Cycle) covers the planning period from 2015 to 2023 and plans for the provision of 1,367 units of housing in the unincorporated County. This is the third report for the Fifth Cycle Housing Element. In 2017, the County issued 278 building permits for single-family dwellings, 28 building permits were issued for accessory dwelling units, or second units, and 3 building permits were issued for mobile homes. Of these issued building permits, a total of 31 units were determined to be moderate-income housing units based on the location of the units and the type of dwelling (e.g. accessory dwelling units), and three units were lower-income units with density bonus deed restrictions. The number of building permits issued for above-moderate income housing was 244 units. During this reporting period, the County issued building permits for a total of 333 units. Staff calls to the Board's attention the County's progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs. Current data indicates that through calendar year 2017, the third year of the current eight-year Housing Element cycle, the County has issued building permits for 62.6 percent of its allocated share of the region's housing needs. Through the first three years of the current housing cycle, the total number of units for which the County has issued building permits is 856 units, which includes 11 low-income units, 124 moderate-income units, and 721 above-moderate income units. While the County has already made significant progress in achieving gross housing production goals, production of new housing units available to households in the low- and very low-income categories continues to stagnate. In 2017, the County issued three permits for new units available to low- and very low-income households. Through the first three years of the current housing cycle only 11 such permits have been issued, constituting 1.2 percent of the total building permits issued for new units. The County continues to implement 31 housing related programs, including programs designed to remove governmental constraints to maintaining, improving, and developing housing. A summary of the programs and recent accomplishments are included as Table C in the attached report. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: There is no consequence of a negative action. The County is required to provide the annual Housing Element Progress Report to the Board of Supervisors in a public meeting to allow the public an opportunity to review and comment on the report.

FISCAL IMPACT: $105,000 - 78% Homeland Security Grant 2017 (Y7A) funded $30,000 - 22% General Fund, Budgeted BACKGROUND: A firewall is a network device used to prevent access into and out of the Sheriff's Office secure network. It is a requirement to have a firewall in place between the network and the internet to meet the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) security. Without this, no law enforcement agencies in the County can access the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS). The Sheriff's Office Tech Services Division uses the Palo Alto firewalls to filter users from going to inappropriate websites and prevent potential hackers from accessing critical data. The firewalls currently in place are over five years old. It is the County standard to replace this equipment every three years, no more than five years.

RECOMMENDATION(S): AUTHORIZE the County to participate as a member in the Bay Area Urban Manufacturing Initiative to support the manufacturing sector in Contra Costa County. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no direct cost to join as a member at this time. There will be options to participate in special events and projects in the future at additional cost. BACKGROUND: The Bay Area Urban Manufacturing Initiative (BAUM) is a regional public-private effort to support existing manufacturers and their middle-income employment sector. BAUM provides training for public agency staff to help their manufacturing sector, such as specialized survey techniques and cannabis' impact on industrial real estate values. BAUM also organizes Bay Area-wide events to bring together public agencies and manufacturing businesses. The Initiative's signature event is an annual Manufacturing Summit, which will take place later this year. Cities, counties and other agencies may join BAUM at no cost, indicating support for the manufacturing sector within their jurisdictions. Further levels of participation in BAUM's collaborative programs are possibilities, such as organizing a local event on BAUM's regional Manufacturing Day (October 5).

ATTESTED: March 27, 2018 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: C. 85 To:Board of Supervisors From:John Kopchik, Director, Conservation & Development Department Date:March 27, 2018 Contra Costa County Subject:Participation in the Bay Area Urban Manufacturing Initiative BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) Contra Costa cities Antioch, Concord, Oakley, and Pittsburg are already BAUM members. Other public sector members are agencies with industrial real estate with which the county's unincorporated areas compete, such as Hayward, Fairfield, and San Leandro. The County's participation is consistent with policy in the Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative to support and expand middle-income employment opportunities in the County's industrial areas. BAUM is a productive vehicle to leverage regional support for growing more jobs in the industrial/advanced manufacturing sector. The BAUM registration form provides some additional information on membership benefits and expectations and is included as Attachment A. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If the County does not join the regional initiative, it will continue its independent efforts to support and promote industrial and advanced manufacturing uses within its boundaries without the benefit of the collaborative training and events, potentially becoming less competitive with the member cities that are participating. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: There is no impact on children.

FISCAL IMPACT: This Certificate of Maintenance of Effort is required by State statute as implemented by guidelines issued by the California State Controller. Failure to submit the required certification form would result in the loss of more than $80.1 million in State Proposition 172 funds for the current fiscal year. BACKGROUND: This ½ cent sales tax was authorized in 1994 as a result of the 1993/94 state budget process. Proposition 172 (Senate Bill 509) designated that the ½ cent sales tax be deposited to newly-created state and local public safety trust funds and allocated to local agencies to fund public safety activities such as police, sheriff, fire, district attorney, county corrections, and ocean lifeguards. Court operations were explicitly excluded. To prevent supplantation of local revenues that would have otherwise been allocated to public safety functions with Proposition 172 sales tax, the Legislature enacted Assembly Bill 2788 as Chapter 886, Statutes of 1994. AB 2733 requires a local agency to commit at least the same resources as were committed APPROVE OTHER RECOMMENDATION OF CNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE Action of Board On: 03/27/2018 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER Clerks Notes: VOTE OF SUPERVISORS AYE:Candace Andersen, District II Supervisor Diane Burgis, District III Supervisor Karen Mitchoff, District IV Supervisor Federal D.

ATTESTED: March 27, 2018 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: C. 87 To:Board of Supervisors From:David Twa, County Administrator Date:March 27, 2018 Contra Costa County Subject:FY 2017/18 CERTIFICATION OF PROPOSITION 172 PUBLIC SAFETY SALES TAX MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT in FY 1992/93 (minus certain exclusions), adjusted each year by any growth in its Proposition 172 revenue, as maintenance of effort (MOE) in order to qualify to receive Proposition 172 (Public Safety Sales Tax). BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) > AB 2733 does not specifically define what is meant by “public safety services” and allows each county to make its own computation. In implementing the MOE section of Assembly Bill 2788 on May 16, 1995, as indicated in the Certification Form, it was most advantageous for this County to define public safety as follows: District Attorney (Department 0242), Probation (Departments (0308, 0309, 0310), Public Defender (Department 0243), Sheriff-Coroner (Departments 0255, 0277, 0300, and 0359), and Inmate Medical Care (Department 0301). It should be noted that the definition of “public safety services” for computation of the MOE obligation does not in any way detract from the Board’s authority to designate those funds to whatever public safety department or service it chooses. The Board of Supervisors, in 1993, directed that all public safety sales tax proceeds will be allocated to the District Attorney and Sheriff departments. Due to the downturn in the California economy, public safety sales taxes received by Contra Costa County has gradually declined since FY 2005/06, by more than 10% over that five-year period. For the 2017/18 fiscal year, it is estimated that Proposition 172 funds will provide $66.1 million to fund operations in the Sheriff's Office and $14.0 million to fund operations in the District Attorney’s Office. 2005/06 Actual $69,281,424 2006/07 Actual $67,318,904 2007/08 Actual $65,314,410 2008/09 Actual $57,641,994 2009/10 Actual $55,379,148 2010/11 Actual $60,388,430 2011/12 Actual $63,922,867 2012/13 Actual $67,178,163 2013/14 Actual $72,053,360 2014/15 Actual $74,736,241 2015/16 Actual $74,141,898 2016/17 Actual $77,499,977 2017/18 Budgeted $80,053,422 We have determined that for FY 2017/18, the adopted budget for the County-defined public safety services exceeded the County’s MOE obligation by more than $188.2 million. In computing the MOE, we followed the Public Safety MOE Requirement Uniform Guidelines for California Counties and Cities approved by the State Association of County Auditors. By authorizing the County Administrator to execute and submit the MOE Certification Form to the County Auditor-Controller, the Board will assure that the County will receive its full allotment of Proposition 172 funds for the current year. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Failure to file the required certification will jeopardize the County's eligibility to receive public safety sales tax revenue.

District Attorney Health Detention-Inmates Probation Public Defender Sheriff (including Coroner) Step #2: Growth Adjusted Base Year The County determined the AB2788 base year amount in 1994/95 on Form B by using the 1992/93 adopted budget for all defined public safety departments. Line 2.1: Total Base Year Forward 125,855,616.41 (Adjusted AB2788 Base Amount from Prior Year Form A, Line 3.2) Step #3: New Base Amount for Local Agency AB2788 includes a growth factor provision equal to the previous years' growth in Proposition 172 revenues. The Auditor-Controller's Office will provide cities and counties with this amount. If appropriate, this amount should be added to the AB2788 Base Year. Line 3.1: Growth Amount 3,358,079.12 Line 3.2: Total Base Amount for Local Agency 129,213,695.53 (Total of lines 2.1 and 3.1) Step #4: Determine AB2788 Public Safety Budget for Certification Year The County should determine the AB2788 Public Safety Budget for the Certification year.

ATTESTED: March 27, 2018 David J. Twa, By: ____________________________________, Deputy RECOMMENDATION(S): CONTINUE the emergency action originally taken by the Board of Supervisors on November 16, 1999 regarding the issue of homelessness in Contra Costa County. FISCAL IMPACT: None. BACKGROUND: On November 16, 1999, the Board of Supervisors declared a local emergency, pursuant to the provisions of Government Code Section 8630 on homelessness in Contra Costa County. Government Code Section 8630 requires that, for a body that meets weekly, the need to continue the emergency declaration be reviewed at least every 14 days until the local emergency is terminated. In no event is the review to take place more than 21 days after the previous review. On March 13, 2018, the Board of Supervisors reviewed and approved the emergency declaration. With the continuing high number of homeless individuals and insufficient funding available to assist in sheltering all homeless individuals and families, it is appropriate for the Board to continue the declaration of a local emergency regarding homelessness.
