14-6.10 ADDITIONAL MITIGATION MEASURES
The Contractor shall implement the following measures prior to work commencing on the project:

The Contractor shall use existing power sources or clean fuel generators rather than diesel generators.

The Contractor shall minimize the potential for the long- term loss of riparian vegetation by trimming vegetation rather than removing entire shrubs. Shrubs that need to be trimmed will be cut at least 1 foot above ground level to leave the root systems intact and allow for more rapid regeneration. Cutting will be limited to the minimum area necessary within the construction zone. Cutting will be allowed only for shrubs (all trees will be avoided) in areas that do not provide habitat for special -status species. Disturbance or removal of vegetation will not exceed the minimum necessary to complete operations.

Except for the vegetation specifically identified for trimming and/or removal in the notification, no native oak trees with a trunk diameter greater than 6 inches dbh will be removed or damaged without prior consultation and approval of a City of Goleta Public Works Department representative. Using hand tools (e.g., clippers, chain saw), trees may be trimmed to the extent necessary to gain access to the work sites. All cleared material/vegetation will be removed out of the riparian/stream zone.

To avoid the introduction or spread of noxious weeds into previously uninfested areas (especially within the riparian community along San Jose Creek), the Contractor shall revegetate disturbed areas immediately after construction of that area is complete. The revegetation portion of the SWPPP will contain specifications for using certified weed- free native and nonnative mixes.

Replace the 2nd paragraph of Section 14-8.02 with:

The noise level from the Contractor's operations, between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., shall not exceed 86 dbA at a distance of 50 feet. This requirement in no way 506

SAN JOSE CREEK MULITPURPOSE PATH – NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN SEGEMENTS CITY PROJECT NO. 9006, FEDERAL AID PROJECT BRLS-5481(022) SP-135

relieves the Contractor from responsibility for complying with local ordinances regulating noise level.

In addition, the Contractor shall conform to the City Goleta Municipal Code.

All noise-generating project construction activities are limited to Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Exceptions must be requested in writing and authorized by the Engineer. Prepare a Noise Mitigation Measures submittal for approval in advance of any construction activities planned to be performed after hours or on weekends/holidays.

Post a sign at least 24 X 48 inches in size stating the noise limitations at the job site.

Each internal combustion engine, used for any purpose on the job, or related to the job, shall be equipped with a muffler of a type recommended by the manufacturer. Internal combustion engines without an appropriate muffler are not allowed on the job site.

Follow the following general noise reduction strategies:

1. Use modern construction equipment

2. Plan noisiest operations for times of least intrusion

Local Assistance Procedures Manual Exhibit 16-A
Weekly Statement of Working Days
Exhibit 16-A: WEEKLY STATEMENT OF WORKING DAYS

FOOTNOTE INSTRUCTIONS TO RESIDENT ENGINEER

1. When determining if the day is a working day or non-working day, first determine the controlling operation (taken from the critical path of the updated approved project schedule.), second, If you determine the day is a "nonworking day", provide the contractual reason -for example, "clear-wet grade" to describe conditions when the weather is clear, but the grade is too wet. Do not list days merely as "Unworkable". When recording nonworking days due to "other", provide explanation contract lane closure restrictions, State of emergency, area-wide labor strike, etc.

2. List numbers of change orders providing for time extensions.

3. Do not include nonworking days which occur after expiration of the Extended Date of Completion. On contracts that are overtime, the total under Working Days Shall not be greater than the total of revised Working Days (line7). After approved total of working days has been reached, continue recording working and nonworking days but do not add into the totals. Make a statement under Remarks that working and nonworking days are shown for record only since the contact time has elapsed.

If an extension of time is subsequently approved, determine the new Extended Date by taking into account all nonworking days that are reachable.

4. From the calendar issued by the Division of Construction with working days numbered for convenience in computations.

5. Determine the controlling activity from the updated approved contract schedule. If the controlling activity is completed in the middle of the week and a new one begins, make this clear. For example, "Class 2 base -M, T, W; HMA -Th, Fri." This is not the place to list all the operations the contractor worked on for the week. Record that information in the Daily Report or under "remarks" if you wish.

6. Column F (lines 1-10) is informational only and tracks those days determined in column D to be working days, but the Contractor failed to work on the controlling operation.

NOTICE REGARDING ASSEMBLY BILL 626

Assembly Bill 626 (AB 626), signed into law September 29, 2016, established a new claim resolution process for public works project contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2017. AB 626 is codified in Section 9204 of the California Public Contract Code. Section 9204 remains in effect until January 1, 2020, and as of that date will be repealed unless another statute extends or deletes this sunset date.

Public Contract Code Section 9204 applies to any “claim,” as defined in Section 9204, which is presented by the Contractor to the City. Section 9204 defines a “claim” as a separate demand by the Contractor sent by registered mail or certified mail with return receipt requested, for one or more of the following: (1) a time extension, including, without limitation, for relief from damages or penalties for delay assessed by the City;

(2) payment by the City of money or damages arising from work done by, or on behalf of, the Contractor pursuant to the Contract and payment for which is not otherwise expressly provided or to which the claimant is not otherwise entitled; or (3) payment of an amount that is disputed by the City.

If Contractor presents a claim to the City in accordance with the provisions of Public Contract Code Section 9204 (hereafter referred to as a “Claim”), the process specified in Section 9204 will be followed, and the provisions of Section 4- 8 (Disputed Claims) and Section 4- 9 (Review by Claim Review Committee and Issuance of Decision by Department Director) of the City’s Standard Specifications for Public Construction will not apply to the Claim. Contractor’s Claim shall comply with the provisi ons of Section 4- 7 (Notice of Claims for Additional Compensation or Damages) of the City’s Standard Specifications or Contractor shall give a separate written notice of potential claim that complies with the requirements specified in Section 4-7, except in any case where compliance with the requirements specified in Section 4-7 would conflict with Public Contract Code Section 9204.

Subsection (e) of Public Contract Code Section 9204 requires that the text of Section 9204 or a summary be set forth in the plans or specifications for any public works project that may give rise to a claim under Section 9204.

Upon receipt of a claim, a public entity and a contractor may, by mutual agreement, extend the time period provided in this subdivision.
(B) The claimant shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. (C) If the public entity needs approval from its governing body to provide the claimant a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the claim, and the governing body does not meet within the 45 days or within the mutually agreed to extension of time following receipt of a claim sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall have up to three days following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the governing body after the 45- day period, or extension, expires to provide the claimant a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion. (D) Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 daysafter the public entity issues its written statement. If the public entity fails to issue a written statement, paragraph (3) shall apply.
(2) (A) If the claimant disputes the public entity’s written response, or if the public entity fails to respond to a claim issued pursuant to this section within the time prescribed, the claimant may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the dispute. (B) Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the claim or any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the public entity shall provide the claimant a written statement identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 da ys after the public entity issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the claim, as identified by the contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with the public entity and the claimant sharing the associated costs equally. The public entity and claimant shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days after the 571
disputed portion of the claim has been identified in writing. If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim.

Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to applicable procedures outside this section. (C) For purposes of this section, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including, but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent third party or board assists the parti es in dispute resolution through negotiation or by issuance of an evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall conform to the timeframes in this section.
(D) Unless otherwise agreed to by the public entity and the contractor in writing, the mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced. (E) This section does not preclude a public entity from requiring arbitration of disputes under private arbitration or the Public Works Contract Arbitration Program, if mediation under this section does not resolve the parties’ dispute. (3) Failure by the public entity to respond to a claim from a contractor within the time periods described in this subdivision or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is denied by reason of the public entity’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the claimant.
(4) Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by this section shall bear interest at 7 percent per annum.
(5) If a subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim against a public entity because privity of contract does not exist, the contractor may present to the public entity a claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. A subcontractor may request in writing, either on his or her own behalf or on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that the contractor present a claim for work which was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of the subcontractor. The subcontractor requesting that the claim be presented to the public entity shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within 45 days of receipt of this written request, the contractor shall notify the subcontractor in writing as to whether the contractor presented the claim to the public entity and, if the original contractor did not present the claim, provide the subcontractor with a statement of the reasons for not having done so.
(e) The text of this section or a summary of it shall be set forth in the plans or specifications for any public works project that may give rise to a claim under this section.
(f) A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy, provided, however, that
(1) upon receipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to waive, in writing, mediation and proceed directly to the commencement of a civil action or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a public entity may prescribe reasonable change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in addition to the provisions of this section, so long as the contractual provisions do not conflict with or otherwise impair the 572
timeframes and procedures set forth in this section.
(g) This section applies to contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2017. (h) Nothing in this section shall impose liability upon a public entity that makes loans or grants available through a competitive application process, for the failure of an awardee to meet its contractual obligations.
(i) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2020, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2020, deletes or extends that date.

Introduction
Restoration Contractor Scope of Work for Mitigation 1
1 Introduction
The purpose of this Scope of Work is to inform the Restoration Contractor that will be subcontracted to the General Contractor on what will be required to initiate the restoration phase of the City of Goleta (City) San Jose Creek Multi-Purpose Path Northern and Southern Segments Project (Project).
work described herein.
described in the Project Special Provisions and the hiring of the Restoration Contractor. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the Project site and mitigation sites in relation to each other. Figure 3 shows the City- wide extent of the San Jose Creek Multi-Purpose Path.

The goal of the restoration phase is to fulfill the requirements of IS-MND Mitigation Measures BIO-2 and AES-2 to compensate for the loss of riparian habitat (including riparian trees), salt marsh habitat, upland trees, and jurisdictional waters associated with the Project, and to satisfy anticipated requirements of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and California Coastal Commission (CCC), which have jurisdiction over activities affecting San Jose Creek.

In accordance with City of Goleta policy, impacts to riparian habitat within the City of Goleta will be mitigated within the City, and impacts within the Coastal Zone will be mitigated within the Coastal Zone. The mitigation will take place on-site at the following locations (see Figure 2):

On-site San Jose Creek along the northern segment of the Pathway 0.37 acre Temporary riparian impact area up to 0.24 acres
Off-site San Jose Creek at Jonny D. Wallis Park 0.07 acre Off-site Old San Jose Creek at Ekwill Street 1.45 acres Off-site Devereux Creek at Ellwood Mesa 0.08 acre
On-site San Jose Creek along the southern segment of the Pathway 0.38 acre Restoration of these areas aims to ensure a net gain in the acreage and function of riparian woodland habitat in the San Jose Creek and Devereux Creek watersheds. The woodland corridor adjacent to San Jose Creek, Old San Jose Creek, and Devereux Creek will be expanded and enhanced through the removal of invasive species and installation of native plants. Native species diversity and abundance will be substantially increased along the otherwise non-native dominated portions of these creeks that currently exists.

This Scope of Work for restoration preparation, installation, and maintenance follows the 2023 Mitigation Plan prepared by Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon) (Rincon 2023). The Mitigation Plan is included as Appendix A for reference. This Scope of Work outlines all the responsibilities that are expected of the Restoration Contractor based on the Mitigation Plan and includes a summarization of said document, i.e., restoration preparation, installation, and short-term maintenance (Sections

2.1 and portions of 2.3 of the Mitigation Plan). There are additional restoration-related aspects outlined in the Mitigation Plan that are not part of this Scope of Work and should not be included in the Restoration Contractor bid estimate that includes long-term maintenance, monitoring, and reporting (Sections 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5 of the Mitigation Plan).

Installation of the restoration, including site preparation, is phased by mitigation site and is scheduled for the summer of 2026 through the spring of 2027. Maintenance of the mitigation sites, 583

2 Restoration Scope of Work
The San Jose Creek Multi-Purpose Path Northern and Southern Segments Project requires on-site restoration adjacent to the project as well as off-site restoration at the following locations (see Figure 1 and Figure 2).

On-site San Jose Creek along the northern segment of the Pathway 0.37 acre Temporary riparian impact area up to 0.24 acres
Off-site San Jose Creek at Jonny D. Wallis Park 0.07 acre Off-site Old San Jose Creek at Ekwill Street 1.45 acres Off-site Devereux Creek at Ellwood Mesa 0.08 acre
On-site San Jose Creek along the southern segment of the Pathway 0.38 acre The following summary of work by task will be performed by the Restoration Contractor under the oversight by the City-approved Restoration Biologist. All Installation and Maintenance Phases will adhere to the 2023 Mitigation Plan; specifically, the goal to reach the Performance Criteria. The Performance Criteria established for this Project includes the following (see Section 2.2 of the Mitigation Plan):

All plantings shall have a minimum of 80% survival the first year and 100% survival thereafter.

All plantings shall attain 75% cover after three years and 90% cover after five years.

The mitigation site shall be entirely without supplemental irrigation for a minimum of two years.

No single species shall constitute more than 50% of the vegetative cover.

No woody invasive species shall be present.

Herbaceous invasive species shall not exceed 5% cover.

2.1 Schedule
The restoration services outlined herein will be performed over an approximate timeframe of one and a half years, between August 2026 and spring 2027. The project Special Provisions will establish the timeframe for installation of plants, which is expected to begin in late fall 2026. The restoration work is separated into three phases: Preparation Phase, Installation Phase, and Maintenance Phase.

The Preparation Phase includes initial non-native plant removal, erosion control installation as needed, fence installation as needed, and irrigation design. The Installation Phase includes plant procurement, plant installation, and irrigation design and installation. The Maintenance Phase will begin after completing the Installation Phase and will be defined as the 90-day PEP. The Maintenance Phase includes non-native plant removal, watering, and repairing of damage to plants, erosion control devices, fencing, and/or signs as further described below. See Table 2 for a detailed draft restoration schedule. Note that although this schedule is an educated estimate, the General Contractor will provide the actual schedule to be approved by the City. However, no major alterations to the overall project schedule are expected. The Restoration Contractor must coordinate activities with the General Contractor, who is required to submit a Construction Schedule prior to the pre-construction conference.

2.2 Coordination
The Restoration Contractor will work in coordination and oversight by the City-approved Restoration Biologist. The City-approved Restoration Biologist will provide oversight for plant stock; container plant installation locations and layout; non-native plant removal; success criteria; and irrigation schedules. The City-approved Restoration Biologist will be on-site regularly to direct work as needed.

2.3 Cultural Resources Monitoring
The project area is generally sensitive for cultural resources. Therefore, a cultural resources education and monitoring program will be established to be implemented during construction per -Mitigated Negative declaration (IS-MND). The education program will describe the roles and responsibilities of the archaeologist and Native American monitor, identify what types of resources may be found in the area, procedures to follow in the event of a find, and discuss the regulatory protections for resources and identify the penalties for the destruction or unauthorized collection of cultural resources. Each team member from the Restoration Contractor crew is required to attend a cultural resources education program, which will be offered prior to the Installation Phase and at any time during the Installation Phase and/or Maintenance Phase if new crew members are employed. It is anticipated based on the requirements of other City mitigation projects in the immediate vicinity of the off-site mitigation sites that the cultural resources education program will extend to the off-site mitigation sites as well.

The preparation of the cultural resources education program will not be the responsibility of the Restoration Contractor. The summary above is included herein for informational purposes only.

2.4 On-site San Jose Creek Along the Northern
Segment of the Pathway
The mitigation site is located largely along the east side of the northern segment of the pathway and on the west side of San Jose Creek (see Figure 4). Re-establishment of 0.37 acre of riparian woodland will occur. In addition, mitigation for permanent impact to upland trees will occur along 588
Restoration Scope of Work
Restoration Contractor Scope of Work for Mitigation 7
Calle Real, south of the path, north of U.S. Route 101, and west of San Jose Creek. Lastly, up to 0.24 acre of temporary impacts may occur during construction along the path within the riparian habitat.

The additional riparian enhancement area, where only weeding will occur, is not included herein.

The mitigation site will be accessed by vehicle via the closest public road, then from the pathway as feasible on foot or with a small vehicle, i.e., small pickup truck or utility side-by-side. Staging areas will mainly be located near the vehicles; however, smaller temporary staging areas may be sited within the planting areas. Staging areas will be contained to the smallest footprint possible and will not disturb native vegetation.

The following outlines the scope of work by preparation/installation and maintenance phases, then by task. Tasks are named as NP for the northern segment of the pathway.

2.4.1 Preparation and Installation Phases
Task NP1: Site Preparation
The City-approved Restoration Biologist will work with the General Contractor and Restoration Contractor to stake the limits of restoration. Prior to installation, the site will need to be prepared for restoration activities. Site preparation includes the following:

Non-native plants will be removed from the site using hand removal methods, such as hand- held weed whips, loppers, and hoes. If hand removal is not feasible due to the characteristics of the species, such as resistance to hand removal methods, the size of the plants, or the number of plants, perennial invasive non-native species may be treated with herbicides. Herbicide application conditions are as follows:

Only individual plants will be treated; no blanket spraying efforts will be allowed.

If herbicide is applied, it will be applied during dry and low wind conditions in order to prevent conveyance of herbicide into drainages or other non-targeted areas.

Herbicide application must be performed by a licensed applicator that can identify the species to be treated and is experienced in the handling and application of herbicides.

Herbicides must be approved for use by the City of Goleta prior to application and allowed under permit and property conditions.

Only herbicides approved for use near or in water, such as AquaMaster or equivalent, will be used if necessary.

All tools, equipment, vehicles, clothing and footwear, and other gear shall be cleaned to remove soil, seeds, and other plant parts before accessing the restoration area.

Vegetation with potential to contain bird nests will not be removed during the breeding bird season (approximately February 1 through August 31) unless a City-approved biologist determines that it does not contain active bird nests. Tree removal will not occur during the monarch butterfly aggregation season (approximately October 1 through March 31) if aggregating monarchs are present.

If needed, install temporary fencing, made of green construction mesh-like fence approximately 4 feet high and t-posts (or similar). Fencing will follow the outer borders of each planting area.

If needed, install temporary signage
team and the public of restoration efforts.

8 Timing
The construction schedule will be confirmed by the General Contractor so that the on-site restoration areas are made available for restoration activities to the extent feasible, beginning in early fall 2026.

Task NP2: Plant Installation
Plant installation will require specific timing and spacing between planting as described in the 2023 Mitigation Plan. Within the 0.37-acre riparian re-establishment site, a total of 645 plants will be needed for the re-establishment and enhancement of habitat at the northern segment (see Figure 4). Table 3 provides a representative palette of native species that may be used for each habitat treatment type. The City-approved Restoration Biologist will flag the exact location of each planted area and provide field oversight while the plants are installed.

1 Riparian trees will be installed as 1-gallon containers or ½-gallon tree tubes at 10-foot spacing. Herbs and shrubs will be installed as 1- gallon or 4-inch containers at 5-foot spacing. These quantities are general guidelines and are subject to change based on availability from the nursery and site conditions.
2 The native trees that will be installed in the temporary impact areas are included in the quantities.

In addition, mitigation for permanent impact to upland trees will occur along Calle Real, south of the path, north of U.S. Route 101, and west of San Jose Creek. Twenty coast live oak trees will be installed.

Lastly, up to 0.24 acre of temporary impacts may occur during construction along the path within the riparian habitat. Individual riparian trees will be installed in these areas as described above for the riparian re-establishment; quantities are included therein. Herbs and shrubs will also be installed to provide native cover and help reduce potential erosion issues. Quantities are not provided herein as the temporary impact areas are dependent upon the final footprint of construction, although the number of plants needed will likely be minimal and under 30.

Installation of the container plants will involve the following:

Within the 0.37-acre riparian re-establishment area, up to 111 riparian trees will be installed as 1-gallon containers or ½-gallon tree tubes at 10-foot spacing. This quantity of trees includes those that will be installed within the temporary impact areas.

Within the 0.37-acre riparian re-establishment area, 533 native herbs and shrubs will be installed as 1-gallon or 4-inch containers at 5-foot spacing.

Along Calle Real, 20 coast live oak trees will be installed as 15-gallon containers or 24-inch or 36- inch boxes at approximately 10 to 15-foot spacing.

Within the 0.24-acre temporary impact area within the riparian area, quantities are unknown and the number of plants need will likely be minimal and under 30.

Holes for the smaller container plants will be dug by hand using a shovel, hang auger, or similar device.

Holes for the larger trees along Calle Real will be dug with medium or light-duty equipment as needed.

The rootball, stems or branches of container plants shall not be disturbed.

Planting pits will be backfilled with native soil and wood mulch will be placed round each plant. 591
City of Goleta
San Jose Creek Multi-Purpose Path Northern and Southern Segments Project

10 Mulch will be placed around each container plant at a depth of at least 3 inches, and at least a 2-foot radius for trees and a 1-foot radius for other species. If generated, the mulch from the removed non-native trees would be allowed some time to dry and then would be used around installed plants as feasible. Additional mulch originating from Santa Barbara may be acquired as All purchased mulch will be free of Argentine ants.

Each container plant will be immediately watered by a drip emitter system or by hand as conditions allow. Long-term irrigation will be applied and discussed in Task NP4 below.

Erosion control materials will be installed as needed and may include low silt fences, hay bales at the base of slopes, and/or straw wattle only. The quantity of erosion control materials that is expected to be needed is minimal; materials would only be used within the mitigation areas and not for the construction portion of the project.

If needed, signage and temporary construction fencing will be placed around the mitigation sites to inform people to stay out of the restoration area as described in Task NP1.

Timing
To the extent feasible, plant installation will coincide with the first major winter storm when soil conditions are moist. Installation is expected to occur in late fall/winter 2026. Adjacent construction may need to be accounted for access and safety purposes.

Task NP3: Plant Procurement
The native plant materials in Table 3 will be contracted through a qualified native nursery that propagates plants from local genetic stock in coordination with the City-approved Restoration Biologist. The approximate cost that will need to be paid by the Restoration Contractor for the five on-site and off-site mitigation sites is approximately $14,000, which should be included as a line item in
. Assume that the Restoration Contractor will
need to pick up the plants at the nursery on a daily or regular basis and bring them to the site; therefore, there will be no delivery fee. Assume that only a very limited number of plants can be stored safely on-site overnight. If plants remain on-site longer than the day on which they are installed, they must be watered daily until they are installed.

The large coast live oaks installed along the path along Calle Real as visual screening will be commercially available California natives with relatively low restrictions for the genetic requirements. The approximate cost that will need to be paid by the Restoration Contractor for 36- inch box trees is $30,000, which should be included as a line item in cost estimate. However, please note smaller trees may be used in coordination with the City and Restoration Biologist during the Preparation Phase.

Timing
A 40% deposit for the 1-gallon container plants of local genetic stock will need to be paid by the Restoration Contractor at the time the plants are ordered and the final 60% payment installment must be paid by the Restoration Contractor at the time of plant pick up. The payment for the 36- inch box trees must be paid by the Restoration Contractor at the time of plant pick up. Plant procurement will occur in fall/winter 2026.
592
Restoration Scope of Work

Restoration Contractor Scope of Work for Mitigation 11
Task NP4: Irrigation Design and Installation
The Restoration Contractor will design and install a temporary above ground drip irrigation system.

The irrigation system should be set up to target individual plants, i.e., drip emitters, and should avoid watering in between the plants to help prevent the growth of non-natives. Irrigation materials cannot be installed in areas where creek flows would be prohibitive.

A maximum of 0.61 acre (0.37 acre for the re-establishment areas and up to 0.24 acre for the adjacent temporary impact areas) will require a temporary irrigation system to be designed and installed by the Restoration Contractor. The design of the irrigation system is up to the Restoration Contractor based on their experience and site conditions observed during the site walk; however, primary lines should be installed before plant installation and secondary/lateral lines should be installed after plant installation. The irrigation system will be designed by a qualified irrigation specialist as an aboveground temporary drip irrigation system, which will persist for 5 years with regular maintenance, and can be easily removed at the end of 5 years. The irrigation system will be designed so that it is automated, powered by either batteries or solar operated controllers, and will be weather sensor compatible. Primary lines will be of 2-inch-diameter schedule (or larger diameter if deemed necessary by the Restoration Contractor) 40 polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Any variations from these materials specifications must be indicated in the bid estimate. The irrigation design will be schematic and does not need to include a licensed architect or engineer stamp.

Water to be used during the restoration preparation, installation, and maintenance will be supplied by the City for the Restoration Contractor and shall be of suitable quality for irrigation. For the northern section of the pathway, from its southern terminus to U.S. Highway 101, the irrigation source will be the irrigation main lateral line located at Armitos Park. For the upland trees along Calle Real, the irrigation source will be the same as what the City uses for the street median immediately to the north..

Following award of the contract, the City will supply the Restoration Contractor with site specifications needed to complete the irrigation system design (e.g., water pressure details, etc.).

The Restoration Contractor will work with the City-approved Restoration Biologist to ensure that the design meets all materials and site specifications and will submit a draft irrigation design to the City for approval by early summer 2026. The irrigation design shall be prepared in computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), or similar program that is acceptable in the landscape industry. The City will provide comments to be incorporated into the final irrigation design so that it can be installed) in late summer/early fall 2026 prior to plant installation.

Timing
The Restoration Contractor will finalize the irrigation design in summer 2026 prior to plant installation. The Restoration Contractor will install the irrigation system on-site before or after initial non-native vegetation removal, depending on a mutual agreement between the Restoration Contractor and City. The City-approved Restoration Biologist will provide oversight in the field. The irrigation system will be installed in late summer/early fall 2026, prior to plant installation in late fall/early winter 2026.
593
City of Goleta
San Jose Creek Multi-Purpose Path Northern and Southern Segments Project 12 2.4.2 Maintenance Phase
The Restoration Contractor will maintain the restoration site throughout the Installation Phase and 90-day PEP. Once the City and Restoration Biologist deems the restoration installation complete for each site, the 90-day PEP will begin. Maintenance will include non-native plant removal, watering, replanting if any die as a result of neglect by the Restoration Contractor, and repairing of damage to plants, erosion control devices, fencing, and/or signs that are a result of erosion or vandalism. The Restoration Contractor will also adhere to the following measures during the Maintenance Phase:

Large plants with potential to contain bird nests will not be removed during the breeding bird season (March 1 to September 15) unless the City-approved Restoration Biologist determines that it does not contain active bird nests.

Tree removal will not occur during the monarch butterfly aggregation season (October 1 through March 31) if aggregating monarchs are present.

Task NP5: Weed Removal and General Maintenance
Weed removal at the restoration site will include the following:

Non-native plants will be removed primarily using hand removal methods. If hand removal is not feasible due to species resistance to hand removal methods, the size of the plant, or the number of plants, perennial invasive non-native species may be treated with herbicides.

Herbicide application requirements are described in Task NP1.

All tools, equipment, vehicles, clothing and footwear, and other gear shall be cleaned to remove soil, seeds, and other plant parts before accessing the restoration area.

Frequency:
crew of an appropriate size to remove weeds throughout the mitigation site in one event.

Specifically, non-native plants will be removed from within a 3-foot radius of each mitigation tree. During the Installation Phase, weeding must be conducted so that the site and installed native plants do not become overrun or dominated by weeds, the frequency will be dependent upon site conditions. A minimum of one event per month is required. Assume a minimum of 3 events will be required during the 90-day PEP, spaced a maximum of 1 month and a minimum of 2 weeks apart over the 90-day PEP.

General maintenance at the restoration site will include the following:

The Restoration Contractor will be responsible for installing a temporary aboveground irrigation system (see Task NP4 above), maintain the system, and water the plants immediately after installation and for the duration of the 90-day PEP.

The City of Goleta-approved Restoration Biologist will establish an irrigation schedule in conjunction with the Restoration Contractor. Irrigation will be scheduled to maximize growth of native species and will account for natural rainfall, while minimizing growth of invasive non- native plants. Generally, if irrigation is needed, more irrigation will be provided during the growing season (winter and spring) to mimic seasonal weather patterns, and minimal irrigation will be provided during the summer and fall as needed to keep plants alive.

Conduct routine activities to maintain the plantings in a healthy condition.

If plants die during the 90-day PEP due to the techniques employed by the Restoration Contractor, i.e., not due to natural causes, the Restoration Contractor will be responsible for replacement planting and/or seeding.

2.5 Off-site San Jose Creek at Jonny D. Wallis Park
The restoration site is located along the eastern boundary of Jonny D. Wallis Park and on the west side of San Jose Creek, see Figure 5.

Re-establishment of 0.07 acre of riparian woodland is required. Additionally, individual riparian trees will be installed along the edge of the existing riparian canopy, within the park grounds where an unmaintained or semi-natural understory occurs as further described below. The additional riparian enhancement area, where only weeding will occur, is not included herein.

The mitigation site will be accessed by vehicle via the park parking lot, then from the pathway as feasible on foot or with a small vehicle, i.e., utility side-by-side. Staging areas will mainly be located near the vehicles; however, smaller staging areas may be sited within the planting areas. Staging areas will be contained to the smallest footprint possible and will not disturb native vegetation.

The following outlines the scope of work by preparation/installation and maintenance phases, then by task. Tasks are named as JDW for Jonny D. Wallis Park.

2.5.1 Preparation and Installation Phases
Task JDW1: Site Preparation
The City-approved Restoration Biologist will work with the General Contractor and Restoration Contractor to stake the limits of restoration. Prior to installation, the site will need to be prepared for restoration activities. Site preparation, including non-native weed removal, herbicide application, installation of temporary fencing, and installation of temporary signage will be conducted as described in Task NP1 above. In addition, one goldenrain (Koelreuteria paniculata) tree at Jonny D. Wallis Park will need to be removed/treated prior to restoration installation.

Removal/treatment will occur before planting begins in
for safety and protecting existing infrastructure at the park or protecting native plants that may be present, the tree may be removed or girdled and left in place. For those tree(s) that can be removed, stump grinding or similar method will be used to remove most of the trunk to ground level or to 6-12 inches below ground level if possible. Holes will then be made mechanically within the root zone to allow for native plants to be installed. If the stump can be removed to 6-12 inches below ground level, soil will be placed in the hole and plants will be installed there as well. Trees may be chipped on-site, and chipped trees may be used as mulch after they have dried out. For those trees that can be girdled, girdling will occur by removing the bark around the entire 595

14 circumference of the trunk, thereby preventing transport of water and nutrients, and killing the tree.

Timing
Preparation is expected to occur in early fall 2026.

Task JDW2: Plant Installation
Plant installation will require specific timing and spacing between planting as described in the 2023 Mitigation Plan. Within the 0.29-acre re-establishment site, a total of 122 plants will be needed for creation of habitat at Jonny D. Wallis Park (see Figure 5). Table 4 provides a representative palette of native species that may be used for each habitat treatment type. The City-approved Restoration Biologist will flag the exact location of each planted area and provide field oversight while the plants are installed.

In addition, mitigation will occur along the edge of the existing riparian canopy within the park grounds. Specifically, these areas include park grounds along the existing footpaths where the understory is comprised of installed landscape or ornamental native plants and minimally maintained by weeding and/or mulching. Up to 8 riparian trees will be installed in these areas (5 black cottonwoods [Populus trichocarpa] and 3 coast live oaks [Quercus agrifolia]), which are included in Table 4. The 8 existing western sycamore x London plane hybrid trees (Platanus racemosa x P. hispanica) will be removed by the Restoration Contractor and replaced by the Restoration Contractor with native western sycamore trees that have been locally sourced by a qualified native nursery from cuttings from known pure genetic stock, e.g., the Sister Witness Tree.

The native plant materials in Table 8 will be contracted through a qualified native nursery that propagates plants from local genetic stock in coordination with the City-approved Restoration Biologist as described in Task NP3; the price to be paid by the Restoration Contractor for the plant stock is included therein.

Timing
For the local genetic stock, timing will occur as described for Task NP3.

Task SP4: Irrigation Design and Installation
The Restoration Contractor will design and install a temporary above ground drip irrigation system as described in Task NP4 above. Note that this off-site location is remote.

A maximum of 0.29 acre will require a temporary irrigation system to be designed and installed by the Restoration Contractor.

The City of Goleta will supply the water for irrigation and designate the water source. Water to be used during the restoration preparation, installation, and maintenance will be furnished on-site by the City for the Restoration Contractor and shall be of suitable quality for irrigation. The irrigation source will be the City hydrant located near 443 S Kellogg Avenue, which is located near the northern terminus of this path segment and near the proposed pedestrian bridge. As the hookup will be a hydrant, a crew member must physically be present each time the irrigation is used so that the water can be turned on and off at the hydrant. The primary line will need to be installed along the proposed pedestrian bridge. The Restoration Contractor will have the authority to use water as meter will be provided by the City.

The irrigation system will be designed so that it is automated, powered by either batteries or solar operated controllers, and will be weather sensor compatible. Primary lines will be of 2-inch- diameter schedule (or larger diameter if deemed necessary by the Restoration Contractor) 40 polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

San Jose Creek Multi-Purpose Path Northern and Southern Segments Project

28 Timing
As described in Task NP4, Restoration Contractor will finalize the irrigation design in summer 2026 prior to plant installation. The Restoration Contractor will install the irrigation system on-site before or after initial non-native vegetation removal, depending on a mutual agreement between the Restoration Contractor and City. The City-approved Restoration Biologist will provide oversight in the field. The irrigation system will be installed in late summer/early fall 2026, prior to plant installation in late fall/early winter 2026.

2.8.2 Maintenance Phase
The Restoration Contractor will maintain the restoration site throughout the Installation Phase and 90-day PEP. Once the City deems the restoration installation complete, the 90-day PEP will begin.

Maintenance will include non-native plant removal, watering, replanting, and repairing of damage to plants, erosion control devices, fencing, and/or signs that are a result of erosion or vandalism.

The Restoration Contractor will also adhere to the following measures during the Maintenance Phase:

Tree removal will not occur during the monarch butterfly aggregation season (October 1 through March 31) if aggregating monarchs are present.

Task SP5: Weed Removal and General Maintenance
Weed removal and general maintenance will be conducted at the restoration site as described in Section 2.4.2 and Task NP5.

General maintenance will be conducted during the Installation Phase, as well as through the 90-day PEP.

Introduction
Mitigation Plan 1
1 Introduction
The City of Goleta (City) proposes to implement the northern and southern segments of the San Jose Creek Multi-purpose Path Project (Project) within the City in Santa Barbara County, California (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The Project consists of building two separate segments which will tie into existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities and provide a continuous path from Calle Real to the Atascadero Creek Bikeway (Figure 3). Additionally, the Project includes implementation of habitat restoration at several mitigation sites to compensate for project-related impacts to riparian woodland and individual native trees (Figure 2).

This Mitigation Plan fulfills the requirements of Mitigation Measure BIO-2 in the City’s Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS-MND; City of Goleta 2022a), which states that a Mitigation Plan
1 must be prepared by the City, which will outline the mitigation requirements and approach for impacts to riparian habitat (including riparian trees), salt marsh habitat, and jurisdictional waters.

This Mitigation Plan also fulfills the requirements of IS-MND Mitigation Measure AES-2 which further specifies the requirement for riparian and upland tree replacement. This Mitigation Plan is also intended to satisfy anticipated permitting requirements of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and California Coastal Commission (CCC), which have jurisdiction over activities affecting San Jose Creek.

1.1 Location
The Project area and mitigation sites are located within the City of Goleta in Santa Barbara County, California (Figure 1) and within the Goleta, California U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute quadrangle. The city of Goleta is located along the California coast, approximately 100 miles north of Los Angeles and 100 miles south of San Luis Obispo in Santa Barbara County, California. U.S.

Route 101 is the primary regional artery connecting the City of Goleta and City of Santa Barbara.

The northern segment of the multi-purpose path is located outside the Coastal Zone and will extend from Calle Real to Armitos Avenue, crossing under U.S. Route 101 and the Union Pacific Railroad, and following San Jose Creek. The southern segment is located both within and outside the Coastal Zone and will extend from Kellogg Avenue on the west side of State Route (SR) 217 to the existing Class I Atascadero Creek Bikeway on the east side on SR 217, passing under SR 217, and following channelized and natural portions of San Jose Creek (Figure 2).

Mitigation for Project-related impacts will occur at the Project site and at nearby locations. There are two off-site riparian mitigation sites: City-owned property along San Jose Creek at Jonny D.

Wallis Park located outside the Coastal Zone and City-owned property and right-of-way (ROW) west of Ekwill Street and east of Pine Avenue located immediately outside the Coastal Zone. There is one off-site salt marsh/wetland mitigation site, which is located within the Coastal Zone along Devereux Creek on the east end of the City-owned Ellwood Mesa Open Space Preserve (Figure 2).

1 BIO-2 requires a “Conceptual Habitat Restoration Plan”, which will include a “Tree Replacement Plan”, which is herein referred to as the “Mitigation Plan”.

Introduction
Mitigation Plan 5

1.2 Mitigation Objectives
The objective of this Mitigation Plan is to fulfill the requirements of IS-MND Mitigation Measures BIO-2 and AES-2 to compensate for the loss of riparian habitat (including riparian trees), salt marsh habitat, upland trees, and jurisdictional waters associated with the Project, and to satisfy anticipated requirements of the USACE, CDFW, Central Coast RWQCB, and CCC, which have jurisdiction over activities affecting San Jose Creek. In accordance with City of Goleta policy, impacts to riparian habitat within the City of Goleta will be mitigated within the City, and impacts within the Coastal Zone will be mitigated within the Coastal Zone.

The Project would permanently impact 0.93 acres and temporarily impact 0.24 acre of riparian and habitat salt marsh/wetland combined. As required by Mitigation Measure BIO-2, permanent loss of protected habitat and jurisdictional waters must be mitigated at a ratio of 3:1 by riparian habitat restoration. For purposes of RWQCB permitting authority, waters of the State are coterminous with CDFW-jurisdictional streambeds; all impacts to CDFW-jurisdictional streambeds listed herein are applicable to waters of the State. In addition, as required by the CCC during the CCC Coastal Development Permit (CDP) application process, permanent impacts to coastal wetlands must be mitigated at 4:1 and the on-site coyote brush scrub that is adjacent to the concrete channel of San Jose Creek must be mitigated at 3:1 as it CCC-designated Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA). Table 1 provides a summary of the permanent and temporary impacts to protected habitat and jurisdictional waters. Figure 4
2 , Figure 5, and Figure 6 display the impacts to protected habitat and jurisdictional waters within the northern and southern (lower and upper) segments, respectively. As required by Mitigation Measure AES-2, permanent removal of riparian trees must be mitigated at a ratio of 3:1 and permanent removal of upland trees must be mitigated at a ratio of 1:1. Table 2 provides a summary of riparian and upland trees to be removed. Figure 73 displays the impacts to native and non-native tree canopy combined within the Project area. See Appendix A for figures that display the impacts to native and non-native tree canopy separately. Table 3 and Table 4 provides a summary of the mitigation requirements based on these impacts to protected habitats/jurisdictional waters and individual trees, respectively. Table 5 summarizes mitigation requirements by also presenting the mitigation techniques and sites.

When completed, a total of 2.82 acres will be restored for mitigation due to permanent impacts, comprised of 2.74 acres of riparian habitat and 0.08 acres of salt marsh/wetland habitat. For permanent impacts, 1.76 acres of mitigation is required within the Coastal Zone and 1.07 acres is required outside the Coastal Zone. Although a minimum of 1.76 acres of riparian mitigation is required for impacts within the Coastal Zone, 1.83 acres of riparian mitigation will occur within and immediately adjacent to the Coastal Zone, which is collectively herein referred to as Coastal Zone mitigation. For temporary impacts, no mitigation is required within the Coastal Zone and 0.24 acre is required outside the Coastal Zone.

The Project’s mitigation effort will ensure a net gain in the acreage and function of riparian woodland habitat in the San Jose Creek watershed. The woodland corridor adjacent to San Jose Creek and Old San Jose Creek will be expanded and enhanced through the removal of invasive species and installation of native plants. Native species diversity and abundance will be substantially

2 The path alignment has been slightly modified since the creation of this figure to avoid larger mature native trees; the modified path design and reduced impact is not represented on the figure. 3 The path alignment has been slightly modified since the creation of this figure to avoid larger mature native trees; the modified path design and reduced impact is not represented on the figure. 635
City of Goleta
San Jose Creek Multi-Purpose Path – Northern and Southern Segments 6 increased along an otherwise non-native dominated portions of these creeks that currently exists. A total of 2.74 acre of riparian woodland habitat will be restored, including 117 riparian mitigation trees located within this acreage and immediately adjacent, in accordance with the mitigation requirements associated with the Project. In addition, 20 upland mitigation trees will be installed at the Project site, in accordance with the mitigation requirements associated with the Project. To ensure that all mitigation sites have proper woodland and riparian function, an additional 200 trees will also be installed throughout the mitigation sites. These non-mitigation trees are herein referred to “surplus” trees, which will be installed above and beyond that which is needed for mitigation.

The Project’s mitigation effort will ensure a net gain in the acreage and function of salt marsh/wetland habitat in the Devereux Creek watershed. The salt marsh habitat will be expanded and enhanced through the removal of invasive species and installation of native plants. Native species diversity and abundance will be increased along an otherwise non-native infested portion of this creek. A total of 0.08 acre of salt marsh/wetland will be restored, in accordance with the mitigation requirements associated with the Project.

The restoration efforts will be a combination of creation in upland areas where aquatic resources (i.e., native vegetation) are absent, re-establishment in areas where aquatic resources (i.e., native vegetation) will be established, and enhancement in areas where the existing aquatic resources (i.e., native vegetation) are degraded

4. Restoration will also occur at the Project site to mitigate 0.24 acre of temporary impacts to riparian habitat and jurisdictional waters due to Project-related activities.

See Table 5 for a summary of mitigation techniques by mitigation site, which is further detailed and described further below in Section 2.1.1.

San Jose Creek Multi-Purpose Path – Northern and Southern Segments 16 1.3 Environmental Setting
Land use designations surrounding the northern segment include Medium Density Residential, High Density Residential, Community Commercial, General Industrial, Planned Residential, and Open Space/Active Recreation. Land use designations surrounding the southern segment include Old Town (commercial), General Commercial, Business Park, Old Town, Service/Industrial, General Industrial, Mobile Home Park, Open Space, and Public/Quasi-Public. The Project is located adjacent to many local roads, as well as U.S. Route 101, SR 217, and the Union Pacific Railroad.

In accordance with the IS-MND, terrestrial habitat types within the Project area include urban (developed), ruderal (disturbed), barren lands; non-native vegetation communities such as ornamental, non-native grassland, iceplant mats (Carpobrotus spp. Herbaceous Semi-Natural Alliance), myoporum groves (Myoporum laetum Forest & Woodland Semi-Natural Alliance), and giant reed marshes (Arundo donax Herbaceous Semi-Natural Alliance); and native vegetation communities such as valley foothill riparian and coyote brush scrub (Baccharis pilularis Shrubland Alliance). Aquatic habitat types within the Project area include riverine (intermittent), ephemeral and perennial drainage, and riverine (tidal), and native vegetation communities such as arroyo willow riparian thicket (Salix lasiolepis Shrubland Alliance), southern coastal salt marsh/pickleweed mats (Salicornia pacifica Herbaceous Alliance), and southern coastal scrub shrub wetland. The Project area contains aquatic resources along San Jose Creek that fall under the jurisdiction of USACE, CDFW, Central Coast RWQCB, and CCC as detailed in Section 1.2. The banks of San Jose Creek range from gently sloping to relatively steep, and in some areas undercut, and are vegetated primarily with the understory species described under the valley foothill riparian habitat. San Jose Creek is a natural channel within the northern segment of the Project area. In the southern segment of the Project area, behind the chain link fence on the west side of SR 217, San Jose Creek is a concrete lined channel on the north, transitioning to a natural channel on the south. See Appendix B for figures depicting the habitat types and jurisdictional waters along the Project extent.

The Project is largely located within the San Pedro Creek watershed (Hydrologic Unit Code [HUC] 12 180600130202), which encompasses approximately 10,000 acres and stretches from the ridge of the Santa Ynez Mountains to its terminus in the Goleta Slough. Roughly 60 percent of the watershed supports native habitat (chaparral, oak woodland, and coastal sage scrub), and most of this occurs on steep mountainsides above Goleta and Santa Barbara. Roughly 18 percent of the watershed contains urban or impervious land uses, and 12 percent is occupied by irrigated agricultural uses (Stoecker 2002). The riparian mitigation sites are also located within the same watershed, along San Jose Creek and Old San Jose Creek. The salt marsh/wetland mitigation site is located within the Dos Pueblos Canyon-Frontal Santa Barbara Channel watershed (HUC12 180600130106), the watershed located immediately west of the Project area.

The Mediterranean climate of the Goleta region is mild, characterized by warm summers, and temperate, semi-moist winters. Daytime summer temperatures in the area average from the high 70s to mid-90s. Nighttime low temperatures during the summer are typically in the high 50s to low 60s. Winter daytime high temperature tends to be in the 60s, while winter low temperatures are in the 30s. Annual rainfall typically ranges from about 13 to 18 inches, with nearly all precipitation occurring between October and April (WRCC 2015). The ecology of Santa Barbara County includes vegetation communities consisting predominantly of coastal scrub, chaparral, oak woodland, marshlands, riparian woodland, and native and non-native grasslands. 646
Introduction
Mitigation Plan 17

1.4 Site Selection
The IS-MND states that the location of the mitigation sites will be prioritized to the Project site and immediate vicinity, as space allows, followed by off-site replacement in close proximity to the project site, and finally off-site but within the City of Goleta.

Mitigation was first pursued in appropriate areas within the immediate vicinity of the Project. To address mitigation required for impacts to riparian habitat, riparian trees, upland trees, and jurisdictional waters associated with the northern and southern segment of the path, one site was identified immediately adjacent to, and to the east of, the northern segment of the proposed San Jose Creek Multi-use Path. This mitigation site is 0.62 acre and includes additional areas for individual upland mitigation trees. To address mitigation required for impacts to riparian habitat, riparian trees, and jurisdictional waters, a second site was identified 0.06 miles south of the northern segment of the Project site along San Jose Creek within Jonny D. Wallis Park. This second mitigation site is 0.29 acre and includes additional areas for individual mitigation riparian trees. To address mitigation required for impacts to coyote brush scrub within the Coastal Zone, a third site was identified along the southern segment of the proposed San Jose Creek Multi-use Path, between the proposed path and concrete channel of San Jose Creek. This third mitigation site is 0.38 acre.

There is not enough suitable areas along San Jose Creek to reach the full mitigation acreage needed; therefore, a fourth site was established in the same watershed 0.29 miles southwest of the Project site along Old San Jose Creek at Ekwill Street that totals 1.45 acre. Photographs of the mitigation sites are provided in Appendix C.

To address mitigation required for impacts to salt marsh habitat and jurisdictional waters for the southern segment of the path, areas under investigation in the vicinity of the segment were too small, fragmented, not owned by the City of Goleta, or not available for purchase. Once the options for restoration within the San Jose Creek were exhausted, a site located in the watershed immediately to the west within the Devereux Creek watershed was chosen. Approximately 0.08 acre at Devereux Creek on Ellwood Mesa was selected because it is located in the Coastal Zone and the transitional salt and freshwater marsh at the eastern end of the property is highly degraded due to invasion by non-native plants, the site offers greater opportunities for public appreciation and involvement, and the site is adjacent and contiguous with the restoration efforts being carried out at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) North Campus Open Space.

In summary, a total of 2.74 aces of riparian mitigation will be restored that consists of 0.62 acre of riparian habitat along the northern segment of the San Jose Creek Path (located outside the Coastal Zone within the City of Goleta), 0.29 acre along San Jose Creek at Jonny D. Wallis Park (located outside the Coastal Zone within the City of Goleta), 1.45 acres of riparian habitat along Old San Jose Creek near Ekwill Street (located immediately adjacent to the Coastal Zone within the City of Goleta), and 0.38 acre of riparian habitat along the southern segment of the San Jose Creek Path (located within the Coastal Zone within the City of Goleta). Although a minimum of 1.76 acres of riparian mitigation is required for impacts within the Coastal Zone, 1.83 acres of riparian mitigation will occur within and immediately adjacent to the Coastal Zone, which is collectively herein referred to as Coastal Zone mitigation. A total of 0.08 acre of salt marsh habitat will be restored along Devereux Creek on Ellwood Mesa (located within the Coastal Zone within the City of Goleta). The entirety of salt marsh mitigation will occur within the Coastal Zone. See for Table 6 a summary of acreage and habitat per mitigation site.

Compensatory Mitigation Plan
Mitigation Plan 19
2 Compensatory Mitigation Plan
This compensatory Mitigation Plan provides details on mitigation requirements identified in the IS- MND as described above and methods for implementing the mitigation as described below. This Mitigation Plan will be reviewed by the regulatory agencies and will be implemented by the City with direction and oversight provided by a City-approved Restoration Biologist. The City-approved Restoration Biologist shall be familiar with habitat restoration implementation, monitoring, and reporting. Installation and maintenance activities will be performed by a City-approved Restoration Contractor. The Restoration Contractor will be a qualified native landscape or restoration contractor with similar experience in habitat restoration and enhancement.

2.1 Mitigation Work Plan
The following section details the preparation and installation methods for restoration at the mitigation sites. Restoration preparation and implementation elements include the restoration approach, source of plant materials, seed storage, plant propagation, non-native plant removal, erosion control, plant installation methods, and plant protection. Maintenance and monitoring elements include established performance criteria, maintenance plan, monitoring plan, reporting requirements, and restoration schedule.

2.1.1 Restoration Approach
The riparian woodland corridor along San Jose and Old San Jose creeks will be expanded and enhanced through the removal of invasive, non-native plant species and installation of native plants.

Native species diversity and abundance will be increased along San Jose Creek in areas where riparian trees are removed for the Project, as well as in areas where invasive, non-native species have established. In addition, native upland tree abundance will be increased along Calle Real, which will also serve as visual screening. A total of 2.74 acre of riparian woodland habitat will be restored within the mitigation sites established along San Jose and Old San Jose creeks. In addition, individual riparian and upland trees will be installed outside this designated acreage. The salt marsh along Devereux Creek will be enhanced through the removal of invasive, non-native plant species and installation of native plants. Native species diversity and abundance will be increased where invasive, non-native species have established. A total of 0.08 acre of salt marsh wetland habitat will be restored within the mitigation site established along Devereux Creek. Restoration of approximately 0.24 acre will occur at the Project site to mitigate for temporary impacts to riparian habitat and jurisdictional waters due to project-related activities. See Table 7 for a summary of habitat to be restored within each mitigation site. Photographs of the mitigation sites are provided in Appendix C.

Based on impacts to individual trees, 137 mitigation trees are required (117 riparian trees and 20 upland trees). However, to ensure that all mitigation sites have proper woodland and riparian function, an additional 200 surplus trees will also be installed throughout the mitigation sites. These non-mitigation trees are herein referred to “surplus” trees, which will be installed above and beyond that which is needed for mitigation. Specifically, mitigation trees will be located along San Jose Creek at the mitigation sites along the northern segment of the pathway and at Jonny D. Wallis Park. Combined, the trees designated for these two mitigation sites will likely be more than required for mitigation; therefore, there will likely be surplus trees installed at the northern segment of the 649
City of Goleta
San Jose Creek Multi-Purpose Path – Northern and Southern Segments 20 pathway. All trees planned for Old San Jose Creek at Ekwill Street and San Jose Creek along the southern segment of the pathway will be surplus trees. All installed trees will be recorded thoroughly to document mitigation versus surplus. The distribution of trees per mitigation site is summarized in Table 7. See Table 8 for a summary of individual trees by species to be restored within the mitigation site.

This Mitigation Plan distinguishes creation, re-establishment, and enhancement 5 based on the
presence or absence of an existing native plant community. If the area is an upland and currently lacks native vegetation, restoration activities in the area are considered “creation” as the aquatic native vegetation or other resources will be established with the goal of returning natural functions and values to an upland area. If the area is aquatic and currently lacks native vegetation, restoration activities in the area are considered “re-establishment” as the aquatic resource (native vegetation) will be established with the goal of returning natural functions and values to a degraded aquatic resource. If native species are present in the area and opportunities for improvement exist, such as removing non-native species to allow native species to naturally disseminate, propagate, germinate and establish, restoration activities in the area are considered “enhancement” as the degraded aquatic resource (native vegetation) will be improved. Of the 2.74 acre of riparian woodland restoration, mitigation techniques will include the following: 1.02 acre is considered re- establishment as native vegetation is absent because the areas are dominated by invasive non- natives; 1.34 acres are considered enhancement as native vegetation is currently present, although degraded; and 0.38 acre is a mosaic of creation and enhancement, with the creation occurring in upland areas where aquatic resources are absent. The 0.08 acre of salt marsh wetland habitat at Devereux Creek is considered enhancement as native vegetation is currently present, although it is highly degraded.

The following restoration treatment types will be implemented:

Riparian woodland creation and re-establishment with planting and weeding Riparian woodland enhancement areas with weeding
Salt marsh wetland enhancement with planting and weeding The treatments will entail installing native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous species to provide a mosaic of shrub and tree canopy, as well as understory. A summary of habitat to be restored is provided below in Table 7. The following sections describe the detailed approach for each mitigation site.

San Jose Creek along the Northern Segment of Pathway
Mitigation for permanent impact to riparian habitat, riparian trees, and jurisdictional waters will occur within the future City ROW along San Jose Creek (excluding the active channel) immediately adjacent to, and east of, the northern segment of the pathway. The site is located outside the Coastal Zone. San Jose Creek is intermittent within this reach and is steelhead critical habitat as well as a City-designated riparian ESHA. This portion of San Jose Creek is characterized as California sycamore – coast live oak riparian woodland (Platanus racemosa – Quercus agrifolia Woodland Alliance). Native trees are abundant; however, several patches of giant reed (Arundo donax) are present and the understory is dominated by non-natives, offering ample opportunity for restoration. Re-establishment of 0.37 acre of riparian woodland and enhancement of 0.25 acre of riparian woodland, for a total of 0.62 acre, will occur as outlined further below. See Figure 8 for the restoration layout.

Mitigation for permanent impact to upland trees will occur along Calle Real, south of the path, north of U.S. Route 101, and west of San Jose Creek. Mitigation will occur within the Caltrans easement for U.S. Route 101, specifically in the upland temporary impact area. The upland habitat is not ESHA and is characterized as ornamental/landscape and ruderal. Individual upland trees will be installed as outlined below. See Figure 8 for the restoration layout.

Mitigation for temporary impacts to riparian habitat and jurisdictional waters will occur on both sides of the path. Approximately 0.24 acres will be restored. Although these areas are mutually exclusive from the re-establishment area designated for permanent impacts, the native trees that will be installed in the temporary impact areas on the east side of the path are included in the quantities therein (Figure 8). The edge of the riparian woodland will be enhanced with a variety of native tree species that provide important food and shelter sources for a variety of wildlife species.

The function of the San Jose Creek riparian corridor will also be improved as it is currently invaded by non-native plants in the understory.

Riparian Re-establishment
Re-establishment of 0.37 acre of riparian woodland will occur along San Jose Creek ROW (excluding the active channel) immediately adjacent to and east of the Project site, within the areas where native and non-native trees will be removed for the Project and where large patches of giant reed will be removed (Figure 8). Up to 111 riparian trees will be installed as 1-gallon containers or ½- gallon tree tubes at 10-foot spacing. This quantity of trees includes those that will be installed within the temporary impact areas. If it is determined after Project construction and associated tree removal is complete that there is not enough space for the proposed number of trees, they will be installed at the Old San Jose Creek at Ekwill Street site instead, as described in corresponding Section below. Native herbs and shrubs will be installed as 1-gallon or 4-inch containers at 5-foot spacing. See Table 9 for the native plant palette. These species and quantities are general guidelines and are subject to change based on availability from the nursery and site conditions. Plant installation methods are described in Section 2.1.5. Non-native plants will be removed throughout the area as described in Section 2.3.2 and supplemental irrigation will be applied as described in Section 2.3.3.

These quantities are general guidelines and are subject to change based on availability from the nursery and site conditions.
2 The native trees that will be installed in the temporary impact areas are included in the quantities. 3 Mitigation trees will be located along San Jose Creek at the mitigation sites along the northern segment of the pathway and at Jonny D. Wallis Park. Combined, the trees designated for these two mitigation sites will likely be more than required for mitigation; therefore, there will likely be surplus trees installed at the northern segment of the pathway.

Riparian Enhancement
Enhancement of 0.37 acre of riparian woodland enhancement will occur along San Jose Creek ROW (excluding the active channel) immediately adjacent to and east of the Project, within the areas where non-native shrubs and herbs are present within the native tree canopy (Figure 8). Generally, this area is east of the re-establishment area. Non-native plants are abundant, especially in the understory, and will be removed throughout the area as described in Section 2.3.2.

Individual Upland Trees
Mitigation for permanent impact to upland trees will occur along Calle Real, south of the path, north of U.S. Route 101, and west of San Jose Creek (Figure 8). Mitigation will occur within the Caltrans easement for U.S. Route 101, specifically in the upland temporary impact area along the south side of the path. Twenty coast live oak trees will be installed as 15-gallon containers or 24-inch or 36- inch boxes at approximately 10 to 15-foot spacing on-center. The coast live oaks will also serve as visual screening for the residential and commercial properties in the immediate vicinity. Non-native plants will be removed within a 3-foot radius from each mitigation tree as described in Section 2.3.2 and supplemental irrigation will be applied as described in Section 2.3.3.

Temporary Impact Areas (Riparian)
Up to 0.24 acres of temporary impacts may occur during construction along the path within the riparian habitat (Figure 4 and Figure 8). Individual riparian trees will be installed in these areas as described above in the Riparian Re-establishment Section; quantities are included therein. Herbs and shrubs will also be installed to provide native cover and help reduce potential erosion issues.

The installation approach will be similar to that described above in the Riparian Re-establishment Section. Quantities are not provided herein as the temporary impact areas are dependent upon the final footprint of construction.

City of Goleta
San Jose Creek Multi-Purpose Path – Northern and Southern Segments 26 San Jose Creek at Jonny D. Wallis Park
Mitigation for permanent impact to riparian habitat, riparian trees, and jurisdictional waters will occur within the City-owned property along San Jose Creek at Jonny D. Wallis Park. The site is located outside the Coastal Zone. San Jose Creek is intermittent within this reach and is steelhead critical habitat as well as a City-designated riparian ESHA. This portion of San Jose Creek is characterized as California sycamore – coast live oak riparian woodland. Native trees are abundant; however, several patches of herbaceous invasive non-natives are present in the understory, as well as one patch of non-native golden rain trees (Koelreuteria paniculata), offering opportunity for restoration. Re-establishment of 0.07 acre of riparian woodland and enhancement of 0.22 acre of riparian woodland, for a total of 0.29 acre, will occur as outlined further below. See Figure 9 for the restoration layout.

Mitigation for permanent impact to riparian trees will occur within the park in two ways. Firstly, individual riparian trees will be installed along the edge of the existing riparian canopy, within the park grounds where an unmaintained or semi-natural understory occurs as further described below.

Secondly, riparian trees already installed within the park grounds along the edge of the existing riparian canopy where an unmaintained or semi-natural understory occurs are included as mitigation trees for this Project as described further below. See Figure 9 for the restoration layout.

The edge of the riparian woodland will be enhanced with a variety of native tree species that provide important food and shelter sources for a variety of wildlife species. The function of the San Jose Creek riparian corridor will also be improved as there are several gaps in the native overstory and the understory has non-native plants.

Riparian Re-establishment
Re-establishment of 0.07 acre of riparian woodland will occur within the park along San Jose Creek (excluding the active channel), within the areas where non-native trees and understory will be removed (Figure 9). Up to 24 riparian trees will be installed as 1-gallon containers or ½-gallon tree tubes at 10-foot spacing. Herbs and shrubs will be installed as 1-gallon or 4-inch containers at 5-foot spacing. See Table 10 for the native plant palette. These species and quantities are general guidelines and are subject to change based on availability from the nursery and site conditions.

Plant installation methods are described in Section 2.1.5. Non-native plants will be removed throughout the area as described in Section 2.3.2 and supplemental irrigation will be applied as described in Section 2.3.3.

Herbs and shrubs will be installed as 1-gallon or 4-inch containers at 5-foot spacing. These species and quantities are general guidelines and are subject to change based on availability from the nursery and site conditions. 2 The native trees that will be installed in the park grounds, outside of the re-establishment area, are included in the quantities. 3 Mitigation trees will be located along San Jose Creek at the mitigation sites along the northern segment of the pathway and at Jonny D. Wallis Park. Combined, the trees designated for these two mitigation sites will likely be more than required for mitigation; therefore, there will likely be surplus trees installed at the northern segment of the pathway.

Riparian Enhancement
Enhancement of 0.22 acre of riparian woodland will occur along San Jose Creek (excluding the active channel), within the areas where non-native shrubs and herbs are present within the native tree canopy (Figure 9). Generally, this area is surrounding and east of the re-establishment area. Non- native plants are abundant, especially in the understory, and will be removed throughout the area as described in Section 2.3.2.

Individual Riparian Trees
Mitigation for permanent impact to riparian trees will occur along the edge of the existing riparian canopy within the park grounds where an unmaintained or semi-natural understory occurs (Figure 9). Specifically, these areas include park grounds along the existing footpaths where the understory is comprised of installed landscape or ornamental native plants and minimally maintained by weeding and/or mulching. Up to 8 riparian trees will be installed as 15-gallon containers, 1-gallon containers, or ½-gallon tree tubes at 10-foot spacing. If available, the 15-gallon size is preferred for the park grounds and will be installed. See Table 10 for the native plant palette.

Old San Jose Creek at Ekwill Street
Mitigation for permanent impact to riparian habitat and jurisdictional waters will occur along Old San Jose Creek near Ekwill Street within two separate areas, City-owned property to the east and City ROW to west. Old San Jose Creek is ephemeral and a City-designated riparian ESHA. The site is located immediately adjacent to the Coastal Zone. This portion of Old San Jose Creek is characterized largely by black locust groves (Robinia pseudoacacia Woodland Semi-Natural Alliance) and eucalyptus groves (Eucalyptus spp. Woodland Semi-Natural Alliance) with limited black cottonwood woodland (Populus trichocarpa Forest & Woodland Alliance) and arroyo willow thickets (Salix lasiolepis Shrubland Alliance). The existing eucalyptus grove between the two areas supports western monarchs (Danaus plexippus), a sensitive species. This site is known as Site 114 and is fully described in Monarch Butterfly Overwintering Sites, Santa Barbara County (Meade et al. 2017). The site is an autumnal site, or a transitory site, meaning monarchs temporarily roost here before moving onto more suitable overwintering habitat. The site has been surveyed regularly since 2015, with the number of monarchs ranging widely with zero in 2015, 140 in 2016, 0 in 2017, and 2 in 2018 (Xerces Society 2019). The eucalyptus grove that comprises this section of the mitigation site will be restored specifically for monarchs. Native trees, shrubs, and understory are minimal along the creek here, and the understory is dominated by non-natives, offering ample opportunity for restoration. Re-establishment of 0.58 acre of riparian woodland re-establishment and 0.87 acres of riparian enhancement for monarchs, for a total of 1.45 acres, will occur as outlined further below.

See Figure 10 for the restoration layout.

The extent of the riparian woodland will be enhanced with a variety of native tree species that provide important food and shelter sources for a variety of wildlife species. Specifically, the site offers opportunities to improve habitat for the monarch butterfly by providing nectar plants and by eventually providing wind buffer of native trees. The function of the Old San Jose Creek riparian corridor will also be improved as it is invaded by non-native plants in the understory and overstory.

The site will be adjacent to the restoration efforts for the Ekwill Street and Fowler Road Improvement Project.

Riparian Re-establishment
Re-establishment of 0.58 acre of riparian woodland will occur along Old San Jose Creek in two sections, City-owned property to the east and City ROW to west (Figure 10). Up to 150 riparian trees will be installed as 1-gallon containers or ½-gallon tree tubes at 10-foot spacing. Herbs and shrubs will be installed as 1-gallon or 4-inch containers at 5-foot spacing. In coordination with a monarch biologist, the City-approved Restoration Ecologist will take special care to install a native planting “perimeter” around the existing eucalyptus habitat to help protect the grove and provide a wind buffer for the monarchs. See Table 12 for the native plant palette. These species and quantities are general guidelines and are subject to change based on availability from the nursery, site conditions, and further coordination with monarch biologists to design the native plant perimeter around the eucalyptus grove. Plant installation methods are described in Section 2.1.5. Non-native plants will be removed throughout the area as described in Section 2.3.2 and supplemental irrigation will be applied as described in Section 2.3.3.

San Jose Creek Multi-Purpose Path – Northern and Southern Segments 32 Riparian Enhancement for Monarchs
Enhancement of 0.87 acre of riparian woodland will occur along Old San Jose Creek in one section, City-owned property to the east and City ROW to west (Figure 10). The eucalyptus grove that comprises this section of the mitigation site will be restored specifically for monarchs. Over the past three to four years the City has worked with a team of monarch butterfly scientists and certified arborists to develop strategies to support and enhance monarch butterfly habitat. Strategies include mitigating fire risk by removing dead trees and vegetation and trimming dead branches, installing plants that flower in fall and winter and provide nectaring opportunities near and around the eucalyptus grove, and planting native understory provides an opportunity for the monarch to climb off of the ground when winter storms blow them off of the trees and they have not yet warmed to the temperature at which they can fly. In coordination with a monarch biologist, the City-approved Restoration Ecologist will take special care to install a native planting “perimeter” around the existing eucalyptus habitat to help protect the grove and provide a wind buffer for the monarchs.

No trees or large shrubs will be installed within the eucalyptus grove to avoid inadvertently negatively affecting the mid-story and overstory canopy of the existing eucalyptus trees. Herbs and shrubs will be installed as 1-gallon or 4-inch containers at 5-foot spacing. See Table 13 for the native plant palette. These species and quantities are general guidelines and are subject to change based on availability from the nursery, site conditions, and further coordination with monarch biologists to design the native plant perimeter around the eucalyptus grove. Plant installation methods are described in Section 2.1.5. Non-native plants will be removed throughout the area as described in Section 2.3.2 and supplemental irrigation will be applied as described in Section 2.3.3.

Devereux Creek at Ellwood Mesa
Mitigation for permanent impact to salt marsh wetland habitat and jurisdictional waters will occur within City-owned property along Devereux Creek at the eastern edge of the Ellwood Mesa Open Space Preserve. The site is located within the Coastal Zone. The confluence of Devereux Creek and Devereux Slough is at this location, and is a City-designated marsh ESHA. This portion of Devereux Creek is characterized largely by native alkali heath marsh (Frankenia salina Herbaceous Alliance).

Native forbs are present; however, non-natives have colonized the area due to regular disturbance, offering ample opportunity for restoration. Enhancement of 0.08 acre of the transitional salt and freshwater marsh wetland will occur as further outlined below. See Figure 11 for the restoration layout.

The transitional salt and freshwater marsh wetland will be enhanced with a variety of native herbaceous species that provide important food and shelter sources for a variety of wildlife species.

The function of the Devereux Creek corridor will also be improved as it is invaded by non-native plants in the existing marsh. The site offers greater opportunities for public appreciation and involvement, and the site is adjacent and contiguous with the restoration efforts being carried out at the UCSB North Campus Open Space and will be adjacent to the prosed restoration efforts for the Ekwill Street and Fowler Road Improvement Project.

Salt Marsh Wetland Enhancement
Enhancement of 0.08 acre of marsh wetland will occur along Devereux Creek at the eastern edge of the Ellwood Mesa Open Space Preserve (Figure 11). The exact layout of this site might change slightly as the City is planning for a small pedestrian foot bridge in this general area and the exact location is unknown at this time. In addition, minor grading may be needed to restore better flow and function to the area chosen. Herbs and select shrubs will be installed as 1-gallon or 4-inch containers at 5-foot spacing. These quantities are general guidelines and are subject to change based on availability from the nursery and site conditions. See Table 14 for the native plant palette.

These species and quantities are general guidelines and are subject to change based on availability from the nursery and site conditions. Plant installation methods are described in Section 2.1.5.

San Jose Creek Multi-Purpose Path – Northern and Southern Segments 36 San Jose Creek along the Southern Segment of Pathway Mitigation for permanent impact to riparian habitat and jurisdictional waters will occur within the City-owned property immediately adjacent to, and west of, the southern segment of the pathway, and west of SR 217. The site is located within the Coastal Zone. San Jose Creek is intermittent within this reach and is steelhead critical habitat as well as a City-designated unvegetated open creek channel ESHA. Additionally within this reach, San Jose Creek is completely channelized for flood protection and therefore confined between concrete walls. This portion of the creek consists of an articulated concrete revetment mat along the bottom with slotted weirs for fish passage. A layer of fine textured alluvium and sand occurs along the eastern side of the channel. Vegetation is found only on the east side of the channel and is characterized as patchy coyote brush scrub in the compacted and disturbed areas between the creek and SR 217. The coyote brush scrub, an upland species, is located outside and adjacent to jurisdictional waters. The coyote brush is not hydrologically dependent upon San Jose Creek due to the presence of the concrete channel. A patchwork of creation and enhancement of 0.38 acre of riparian scrubland will occur in areas that lack or are dominated by coyote brush, respectively, as outlined further below. See Figure 12 and Figure 13 for the restoration layout.

The edge of the uplands adjacent to the concrete channel will be enhanced with a variety of native shrub species and a few tree species that provide important food and shelter sources for a variety of wildlife species. The function of the San Jose Creek riparian corridor will also be improved as it is currently lacking native vegetation in some areas.

Riparian Creation/Enhancement
A patchwork of creation and enhancement of 0.38 acre of riparian shrubland in the form of coyote bush and coastal sage scrub will occur along San Jose Creek immediately adjacent to, and west of, the southern segment of the pathway, and west of SR 217 (Figure 12 and Figure 13). Creation will occur in upland areas adjacent to the creek where native vegetation is absent and enhancement will occur in areas where native vegetation, i.e., coyote brush scrub, is present. Up to 15 riparian trees will be installed as 1-gallon containers or ½-gallon tree tubes at 10-foot spacing. Trees will only be installed at the southern end of the mitigation site where there is enough space to ensure that tree roots do not inadvertently cause damage to the concrete channel. Native herbs and shrubs will be installed as 1-gallon or 4-inch containers at 5-foot spacing and will largely be installed in areas without existing coyote brush. See Table 15 for the native plant palette. These species and quantities are general guidelines and are subject to change based on availability from the nursery and site conditions. Plant installation methods are described in Section 2.1.5. Non-native plants will be removed throughout the area as described in Section 2.3.2 and supplemental irrigation will be applied as described in Section 2.3.3.

1 Riparian trees will be installed as 1-gallon containers or ½-gallon tree tubes at 10-foot spacing. Herbs and shrubs will be installed as 1- gallon or 4-inch containers at 5-foot spacing. These quantities are general guidelines and are subject to change based on availability from the nursery and site conditions.
2 Approximately 20 trees can be installed at the southern/downstream ed of the mitigation site. All trees planned for Old San Jose Creek at Ekwill Street and San Jose Creek along the southern segment of the pathway will be surplus trees.

2.1.2 Source of Plant Materials
The large coast live oaks installed along the path along Calle Real as visual screening will be commercially available California natives with relatively low restrictions for the genetic requirements.

For the remainder and the majority of the plant stock, a qualified native nursery in coordination with the City-approved Restoration Biologist will gather plant stock, e.g., seeds and cuttings. To preserve the integrity of local gene pools, ensure adaptation to site-specific conditions, and avoid inadvertent introduction of inappropriate species or pathogens the native plant material used for revegetation will primarily be collected from the San Jose Creek and Devereux Creek watersheds. If sufficient plant material cannot be collected from this area alone, plant material from the Santa Barbara coast south of the Santa Ynez Mountains between Carpinteria and Gaviota will be used.

Specifically, the existing western sycamore x London plane hybrid trees that will be removed and replaced with western sycamores at Jonny D. Wallis Park will be locally sourced from cuttings collected from known pure genetic stock, e.g., the Sister Witness Tree. If native material that doesn’t adhere to these sources is accidentally installed, the individuals will be removed as soon as possible and replaced with locally-native plants. More specific areas for collection of native plant materials within the areas defined above will be defined in the field, taking into account the following:

Ecological similarity to the area to the Project site
Proximity to the Project site
Land ownership
Accessibility
Abundance and availability of target species
Native plant collection shall ensure genetic diversity of source material and seed shall be collected from a diverse sample of the parent plants within the collection zone.

2.1.3 Seed Storage and Plant Propagation
A qualified native nursery contractor will store and propagate plant stock. As discussed further in Section 2.6, seed and cutting collection, and propagation of plants, will occur prior to mitigation installation and up to two years thereafter.

Seeds will be stored in a proper container in a cool, dry place. If necessary, seeds will be treated with freezing temperatures to kill insect pests by placing seeds in a freezer for 2 or 3 days. If necessary, seeds will be treated with low heat or a dehumidifier to reduce excess moisture. All containers of seeds will be labeled with the scientific name, date, and location of collection. 670
Compensatory Mitigation Plan
Mitigation Plan 41
Seeds will be sown, or cuttings will be used, to establish container plants. These container plants can either be planted in the field or used to create additional seeds or cuttings in the nursery. Salvaged plants will be either directly transplanted by a qualified native landscape contractor or taken to the nursery and prepared for later transplanting. Nursery plants must be maintained in a healthy condition until delivery, free of any disease and pests. All plants obtained from the native plant nursery will be free of Argentine ants (Linepithema humile).

2.1.4 Site Preparation
Prior to plant installation, a qualified City-approved Restoration Contractor with oversight by the City-approved Restoration Biologist will remove non-native plants at the mitigation sites. Non-native plants will be removed primarily using hand removal methods, such as hand-held weed whips, loppers, and hoes. If hand removal is not feasible due to species resistance to hand removal methods, the size of the plant, or the number of plants, perennial invasive non-native species may be treated with herbicides.

Herbicide application will be limited as much as possible while maintaining effectiveness. Only individual plants will be treated; blanket spraying efforts will not be allowed. If herbicide is applied, it will be applied during dry and low wind conditions to prevent conveyance of herbicide into San Jose, Old San Jose, or Devereux creeks or other non-targeted areas. Herbicide application must be performed by a licensed applicator that can identify the species to be treated and is experienced in the handling and application of herbicides. Herbicides must be approved for use by the City and authorized under permit and property conditions. Only herbicides approved for use near or in water, such as AquaMaster™ or equivalent, will be used if necessary. Low toxicity herbicides should be used to the greatest extent practical. Rodenticides containing any anticoagulant compounds (including, but not limited to, Warfarin, Brodifacoum, Bromadiolone, or Diphacinone) will not be used.

One goldenrain tree at Jonny D. Wallis Park and several black locusts at Old San Jose Creek at Ekwill Street will need to be removed/treated prior to restoration installation. Removal/treatment will occur before planting begins in the area. Dependent upon the City’s need for safety and protecting existing infrastructure at the park or protecting native plants that may be present at either site, the trees may be removed or girdled and left in place. For those trees that can be removed, stump grinding or similar method will be used to remove most of the trunk to ground level or to 6-12 inches below ground level if possible. Holes will then be made mechanically within the root zone to allow for native plants to be installed. If the stump can be removed to 6-12 inches below ground level, soil will be placed in the hole and plants will be installed there as well. Trees may be chipped on-site, and chipped trees may be used as mulch after they have dried out. For those trees that can be girdled, girdling will occur by removing the bark around the entire circumference of the trunk, thereby preventing transport of water and nutrients, and killing the tree. These trees will be left in place to minimize any further disturbance to native plants that would result from removal, to provide habitat for nesting birds and other wildlife as they decay, and to provide eventual structure in the creek bottom once they break down (a habitat value that is currently lacking in the creek).

Long term non-native plant removal will be conducted as described in Section 2.3.2. 671
City of Goleta
San Jose Creek Multi-Purpose Path – Northern and Southern Segments 42 2.1.5 Plant Installation Methods
A qualified Restoration Contractor with oversight by the City-approved Restoration Biologist will install plants to coincide with the first major winter storm (approximately October to December) when soil conditions are moist. The City-approved Restoration Biologist will determine precise planting locations in the field.

On average, 5-foot spacing will be used for shrubs, vines, grasses, and forbs. On average, tree species will be installed at 10-foot spacing. Table 9 through Table 15 provides the mix of plants and quantities for each riparian habitat type to be re-established.

Holes for the 1-gal container plants will be dug by hand using a shovel, hang auger, or similar device.

Holes for the larger trees along Calle Real and in the park grounds of Jonny D. Wallis Park will be dug with medium or light-duty equipment as needed. Care will be taken not to disturb the root ball, stems, or branches when installing each container plant. The soil will be backfilled so as not to leave any air spaces around the container plant soil and roots. Planting pits will be backfilled with native soil so that the soil surface of the container plant is level with the ground. If soil conditions indicate that soil amendments such as biochar, mycorrhizae inoculum, or similar is needed, they will be employed.

After installation, mulch will be placed around each plant to prevent non-native plants from establishing and to help increase soil moisture. Mulch will be placed around each container plant at a depth of 2 to 3 inches. Mulch will be placed in a 2-foot radius for trees and a 1-foot radius for other species. Mulch shall not be allowed to contact the trunks of planted trees as this can lead to fungal development and rot. If applicable, mulch originating from the non-native on-site trees as described in Section 2.1.4 will be allowed some time to dry and then will be used around installed plants as feasible. Additional bark mulch originating from Santa Barbara, such as mulch available from the County’s South Coast Recycling and Transfer Station, may be acquired as needed. Mulch should be organic, and mulch derived from Eucalyptus species shall be avoided unless it has been cured for a substantial amount of time. All purchased mulch will be free of Argentine ants.

Each container plant will be immediately watered until soil saturation is reached by a drip emitter system if feasible or by hand if water connections are not available. Long term irrigation will be applied as described in Section 2.3.3.

2.1.6 Plant Protection
Individual container plantings will not have any specific protection; however, if needed, signage and temporary construction fencing will be placed around the mitigation sites to inform people to stay out of the restoration area to minimize trampling of native plants. The temporary fencing will be made of green construction mesh-like fence approximately 4 feet high and t-posts (or similar).

Fencing will follow the outer borders of each planting area. Underground gopher cages will be used only if gophers are abundant in the area. If needed, wire cages will be placed around container plants aboveground to prevent herbivory where needed.

2.1.7 Erosion Control
If deemed necessary, the Restoration Contractor with oversight by the City-approved Restoration Biologist will install erosion control materials, although problematic erosional issues are not expected to occur as there are no issues presently on-site. Erosion control devices may include hay bales at the base of slopes, jute netting, coconut fiber mats, fiber rolls, and/or straw wattle. Erosion 672
Compensatory Mitigation Plan
Mitigation Plan 43
control materials containing plastics will not be used due to the hazards they pose to wildlife.

Erosion control materials shall be weed free. If vegetation needs to be removed to install erosion control materials, it will not be removed during the breeding bird season (approximately February 1 through August 31) unless a City-approved biologist determines that it does not contain active bird nests. Erosion control materials will be maintained during the 5-year maintenance period or until plants are well established.

2.1.8 Access Routes and Staging Areas
The mitigation site will be accessed by vehicle via the closest public road or City parking lot, then from the pathway as feasible. From the street or the pathway, the mitigation sites will be accessed by foot. Staging areas will mainly be located near the vehicles; however, smaller staging areas may be sited within the planting areas. Staging areas will be contained to the smallest footprint possible and will not disturb native vegetation.

2.2 Performance Criteria
Performance criteria will be used to determine if the Project is successful during the 5-year maintenance and monitoring period as described in Sections 2.3 and 2.4. The following performance criteria have been set within this Mitigation Plan. These criteria are typical for the region and biologically appropriate for the sites.

Installed trees shall have a minimum of 80 percent survival at the end of 5 years.

Installed non-tree species shall have a minimum of 80 percent survival at the end of 5 years.

Achieve 70 absolute percent native cover after 3 years and 85 absolute percent coverage by the end of the 5-year monitoring and maintenance period.

Non-native invasive herbaceous species, excluding annual non-native grasses, shall remain below 5 absolute percent of total vegetation cover.

No non-native invasive woody species shall be present within the mitigation site.

The mitigation site shall be entirely without supplemental irrigation for a minimum of two years at the end of the 5-year monitoring and maintenance period.

No single species may constitute more than 50 percent of the vegetative cover in the understory.

The City-approved Restoration Biologist will monitor to determine if performance criteria are being achieved as described in Section 2.4. If performance criteria are not being achieved, the City may be required to replant, as necessary, to ensure performance criteria are met.

2.2.1 Reference Site
If monitoring results indicate the success criteria are not anticipated to be achieved or if the success criteria are not met, corrective actions will be implemented as described in Section 2.9. Additionally, an assessment of conditions at a reference site with similar habitat to the mitigation site will be used to as a tool to measure the overall success of the mitigation site. A reference site will be established where ecologically intact examples of similar habitat are found, preferably in the same watershed. The reference site will be 400 square meters, per the plot size recommended for riparian woodlands in the CDFW-California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Protocol for the Combined 673
City of Goleta
San Jose Creek Multi-Purpose Path – Northern and Southern Segments 44 Vegetation Rapid Assessment and Relevé Field Form (CDFW-CNPS 2022 and 2023), where enough habitat is present.

2.3 Maintenance Plan
A qualified Restoration Contractor with oversight by the City-approved Restoration Biologist will conduct maintenance at the mitigation site for a period of 5 years. After initial restoration installation has been completed, the 5-year maintenance and monitoring period will commence, comprised of the 90-day Plant Establishment Period (PEP) and the following 4.75 years. Changes may be made as necessary based on annual monitoring reports, per the City’s General Plan (City of Goleta 2009, Policy CE 1.7). The City-approved biologist will oversee adjustments to maintenance activities to ensure that the performance criteria for the mitigation site are achieved. Maintenance will include non-native plant removal, watering, replanting, and repairing of damage to plants, erosion control devices, fencing, and/or signs that are a result of erosion or vandalism.

2.3.1 90-Day Plant Establishment Period
The Restoration Contractor will be responsible for successful initial plant installation as determined by the Restoration Specialist in coordination with the City. Once the City deems the restoration installation complete, the 90-day PEP will begin. During this time, the Restoration Contractor will be responsible for site maintenance, and the Restoration Biologist will conduct monitoring visits as described in Section 2.4 below.

2.3.2 Maintenance Methods and Schedule
During the 5-year maintenance period, a qualified Restoration Contractor will conduct routine activities to maintain the plantings in a healthy condition, control erosion of the mitigation site, and ensure performance criteria are being achieved. Non-native plants will be removed primarily using hand removal methods, such as hand-held weed whips, loppers, and hoes. If hand removal is not feasible due to species resistance to hand removal methods, the size of the plant, or the number of plants, perennial invasive non-native species may be treated with herbicides. Herbicides may be used as described in Section 2.1.4.

The majority of invasive non-native plant removal efforts will be conducted during the peak growing season (winter and spring) when non-native plant species are most prevalent. A regular but lower level of effort during the rest of the year is recommended to minimize the spread of non-native plant seeds. The maintenance schedule and crew size will be adjusted based on the abundance of non-native plants on-site and the effort it takes to remove them before inflorescence and/or seed set.

Non-native plant species, including invasive plant species, will be removed as part of mitigation efforts; however, implementation of the mitigation has the potential to result in the spread of invasive plant species through soil displacement and disturbance and by the inadvertent transport of propagules (e.g., seeds, pieces of invasive plants that have broken off) by vehicles and people. All efforts shall be made to avoid the spread of and otherwise eliminate invasive weeds within the mitigation site, such as ensuring tools, equipment, vehicles, clothing and footwear, and other gear shall be cleaned to remove soil, seeds, and other plant parts.

The City-approved Restoration Biologist will monitor to determine if performance criteria are being achieved as described in Section 2.2. If performance criteria are not being achieved or are projected 674
Compensatory Mitigation Plan
Mitigation Plan 45
as such, the City will take action to ensure performance criteria are met. Corrective actions may include, but are not limited to, increased frequency of non-native weed removal and replacement planting. Replacement planting in Year 1 and 2 will be necessary if survivorship does not meet the survival or percent cover percent performance criteria, and will likely occur even if performance criteria are being met to ensure the highest amount of native cover early on in the 5-year maintenance and monitoring period.

2.3.3 Irrigation Methods and Schedule
A temporary above ground irrigation system will be installed throughout the mitigation sites as feasible. The irrigation system will be set up to target individual plants via drip emitters and will avoid watering in between the plants to help prevent the growth of non-natives. The source of the water may be a permanent hookup if available, or a temporary water source such as a holding tank or water truck.

The City-approved Restoration Biologist will establish an irrigation schedule in conjunction with the qualified Restoration Contractor. Irrigation will be scheduled to maximize growth of native species and will account for natural rainfall, while minimizing growth of invasive non-native plants.

Generally, if irrigation is needed, it will be provided to a greater extent during the growing season (winter and spring) to mimic seasonal weather patterns, with minimal irrigation provided as needed during the summer and fall to keep plants alive.

Towards the end of spring of the third year, the irrigation schedule will be gradually reduced over several weeks to wean the plants to adapt to a reduced watering schedule over the summer and fall. The irrigation system will be used for up to 3 years and plants will be completely weaned from the irrigation prior to the end of the third year. If irrigation materials are installed, they will be removed once the plants are weaned. In the case of replacement of western sycamores, if irrigation is needed beyond the third year, irrigating these individuals may be done by hand as needed.

2.3.4 Maintenance Restrictions
Vegetation with potential to contain bird nests will not be removed during the breeding bird season (approximately February 1 through August 31) unless a City-approved biologist determines that it does not contain active bird nests. Tree removal will not occur during the monarch butterfly aggregation season (approximately October 1 through March 31) if aggregating monarchs are present. Herbicide use will follow the methodologies outlined in Section 2.1.4 Site Preparation.

2.4 Monitoring Plan
Monitoring will be conducted by the City-approved Restoration Biologist. The mitigation sites will be monitored for a 5-year period to ensure successful establishment. Each year of the 5-year monitoring and maintenance period is defined as a 12-month timeframe starting when restoration implementation is complete. Changes may be made as necessary based on annual monitoring reports, per the City’s General Plan.

San Jose Creek Multi-Purpose Path – Northern and Southern Segments 46 2.4.1 Monitoring Methods and Schedule
Qualitative Monitoring
The mitigation sites will be qualitatively monitored by the City-approved Restoration Biologist monthly every month during Year 1 and every other month during Year 2 through Year 5.

Qualitative monitoring will be used to determine if performance criteria are being met, or likely to be met, each year and by the end of Year 5. Visual estimates of percent cover of native, non-native, and invasive non-native plants will be made at each mitigation site. Installed trees will be assessed for green foliage, seasonal new growth, vigor and health, pests, etc. Observations on wildlife use, vegetation establishment trends, non-native plant invasion, evidence and extent of erosion, and the need for corrective actions will be collected. Additionally, monitoring will document how the mitigation site compares to the surrounding lands in terms of topography, hydrology, vegetation types, sensitive species present, and use by wildlife. Recommendations for maintenance needs will be made to the qualified Restoration Contractor based on observations made during the monitoring activities.

Photographs will be taken each year during the spring and winter monitoring to qualitatively document plant establishment, hydrologic conditions, and other site conditions. Permanent photo- documentation points will be established throughout the mitigation site, primarily prior to installation. Each photo point location will be documented using global positioning system (GPS) and marked in the field with Polyvinyl chloride or vinyl (PVC) pipes anchored by rebar, or a similar mechanism, which will be removed after completion of the 5-year monitoring period. The photographs will be included in the annual monitoring report to allow comparison between monitoring years.

Quantitative Monitoring
The mitigation sites will be qualitatively monitored by the City-approved Restoration Biologist twice a year, once in spring (April/May) and one in fall (September/October). Quantitative monitoring will be used to assess the success of the mitigation site per the performance criteria are being met, or likely to be met, each year and by the end of Year 5. Fixed-line transects will be installed throughout the mitigation sites to quantify the following parameters at each mitigation site, which will also be used to determine an average across all mitigation sites combined:

Absolute percent cover for total vegetation, native species, non-native species, invasive non- native species, and bare ground
Absolute percent cover by species
Number of species present
The point-intercept method will be used to document plant species (or lack thereof) occurring along the transect and whether the species is native, non-native, or invasive non-native. Each transect will be at least 10 meters long and be sampled at 10 centimeters intervals at a minimum. Each transect location will be documented using a GPS and marked in the field with PVC pipes anchored by rebar, or similar mechanism, which will be removed after completion of the monitoring period. Transect locations will be selected systematically to sample different habitat types, with a minimum of two transects per mitigation site. Photographs will be taken at each transect during the quantitative monitoring events, separate from those photographs taken during the qualitative monitoring event. 676
Compensatory Mitigation Plan
Mitigation Plan 47
The photographs will be included in the annual monitoring report to allow comparison between monitoring years.

The number of container plants that have died will also be recorded during the spring and winter quantitative monitoring events to calculate the percent survival of trees and non-tree species. If replacement plants are installed, they will be closely monitored for a minimum of 2 years (within the 5-year monitoring period) to ensure successful establishment.

Observations on wildlife use, vegetation establishment trends, non-native plant invasion, evidence and extent of erosion, and the need for corrective actions will be collected. Recommendations for maintenance needs will be made to the qualified Restoration Contractor based on observations made during the monitoring activities.

Final Inspection
Upon completion of the 5-year monitoring period, the City, in conjunction with the City-approved Restoration Biologist, will conduct a final inspection. Any outstanding items will need to be completed before the regulatory agencies give final approval and accept the restoration project as complete.

2.5 Reporting Requirements
The City-approved Restoration Biologist will prepare an as-built report within 30 days following the complete installation of the mitigation sites. The as-built report will document the plant and seed materials installed (species and quantities), genetic sourcing, and the methods and outcome of installation for each restoration treatment type and mitigation area. The annual reports will provide photographs taken at photo documentation points, photographs taken at transects, and relevant geographic information systems (GIS)-based figures.

The City-approved Restoration Biologist will prepare annual monitoring reports that will be transmitted to the appropriate permitting agencies, i.e., USACE, CDFW, RWQCB, and CCC. As described above, the restored mitigation sites will be monitored and maintained for a 5-year period with changes made as necessary based on monitoring events and annual monitoring reports, per the City’s General Plan. Annual monitoring reports will be prepared within one month of the end of each year (a 12-month period) of the 5-year monitoring and maintenance period. The 5-year maintenance and monitoring period will begin when restoration implementation is complete.

Annual reports will document the “As Built” condition of the mitigations sites, maintenance efforts, and monitoring methods and results. Annual reports will contain a quantitative analysis of performance criteria achievement and progress toward meeting final performance criteria. The annual reports will provide photographs taken at photo documentation points, photographs taken at transects, and relevant GIS-based figures. The 5
th and final annual report will be noted as such
and will serve as the Notification of Completion for the appropriate permitting agencies.

2.6 Schedule
The schedule for restoration preparation, implementation, maintenance, monitoring, and reporting is presented in Table 16. This schedule assumes that construction of the path will begin fall 2024 and will take approximately 18 months, and that initial mitigation installation will begin in fall/winter of 2026 after construction is complete. The schedule is subject to change dependent 677

2.7 Site Protection Instrument
The mitigation sites are located within various parcels that are or will be protected in perpetuity as follows:

San Jose Creek along the northern segment of the Pathway – For the riparian mitigation, the City is obtaining the ROW, which will be finalized prior to construction. The upland mitigation will occur within the Caltrans easement for U.S. Route 101.

San Jose Creek at Jonny D. Wallis Park – City-owned property designated as a park Old San Jose Creek at Ekwill Street - City-owned property for the eastern section, City ROW for the western section
Devereux Creek at Ellwood Mesa - City-owned property designated as open space and managed via the Ellwood Devereux Coast Open Space and Habitat Management Plan (URS et al. 2004) San Jose Creek along the southern segment of the Pathway – City-owned property 678
Compensatory Mitigation Plan
Mitigation Plan 49

2.8 Long-term Management Plan and Financial
Assurances
The City will be responsible for long-term management of the mitigation sites through the five-year maintenance and monitoring period and will ensure that the performance criteria are attained.

Financial assurances through which the mitigation sites will be successfully completed are in development and will be finalized prior to construction.

2.9 Adaptive Management Plan
As described in Section 2.4.1, the City-approved Restoration Biologist will monitor the restoration sites to determine if performance criteria are being achieved as described in Section 2.2. Changes may be made as necessary based on results and recommendations of the monitoring efforts and annual monitoring reports. If performance criteria are not being achieved or are projected as such, the City may be required to take corrective actions. Corrective actions may include, but are not limited to, increased frequency of non-native weed removal and replacement planting has described in Section 2.3.2. If replanting occurs, restoration elements that may be changed include the plant species and quantities used and the location of the installed container plants, dependent on species. Additionally, maintenance measures such as non-native plant removal, irrigation, erosion control, vandalism repair, and/or plant protection may need to be modified to help ensure the success of the mitigation site.

If the Mitigation Plan cannot be implemented as approved, and is significantly modified as a result, the City will obtain approval from the USACE, CDFW, RWQCB, and CCC.

If monitoring or other information indicates that the Plan is not progressing towards meeting its performance criteria (See Section 2.2), the City will notify the USACE, CDFW, RWQCB, and CCC as soon as possible. The City will work with these agencies to address deficiencies in the Mitigation Plan and apply appropriate measures to ensure performance criteria are met. 679

1.1. 1.1. Project DescriptionProject DescriptionProject DescriptionProject Description • The San Jose Creek Multipurpose Path Project (project ) is located in Santa Barbara County in the City of Goleta on Route 217 from post mile 1.0 to post mile 2.2 and on a portion of Route 101 near post mile 21.6 along Calle Real. The project would construct a Class I bikeway (path) to close the 2.5-mile gap between the County (Cathedral Oaks Road) and Goleta Crosstown Route in the north and the County’s Obern Trail/Coast Route in the south. The path would connect the Calle Real commercial and residential on the north side of US 101 to commercial and residential areas within the Goleta Old Town redevelopment area to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) and the Coast Route.

The Northern Segment begins on Calle Real near the south end of North Kellogg Avenue. Heading east to the northern limit of the US 101 Bridge Replacement project.

Continuing south from the southern limit of the US 101 Bridge Replacement project, the path goes under the railroad bridge over San Jose Creek along the west bank. The Northern Segment is nearly a half mile. Bicyclists and pedestrians can then travel west on Armitos Avenue approximately 500’, turn south onto the existing South Kellogg Avenue for approximately 2200’ to connect to the beginning of the Southern Segment just north of Kellogg Way.

The Southern Segment is approximately 1 mile long. The proposed project would extend from the existing Class III facilities on South Kellogg Avenue, continue between the southern/eastern bank of San Jose Creek, outside the top of bank and the active channel of San Jose Creek, and the SR 217 Southbound shoulder, and ultimately connect to the existing Class I Atascadero Creek Bikeway. The proposed project would cross over San Jose Creek on the north end (northern terminus) and would cross under SR 217 on the south end (southern terminus).

The path is typically 8 to 14 feet wide, with 2-foot wide shoulders, and typical design speed of 20 mph. The Southern Segment includes a concrete barrier 2 feet in width to separate the path from SR 217 traffic. At the Northern Segment near Calle Real, the improvements also include the reconstruction of a section of the existing sidewalk on the south side of Calle Real to allow for the construction of the project, including retaining walls and concrete barrier. Between the Calle Real and the Caltrans right-of- way, it is anticipated that the existing guard rail, attached to the existing Calle Real Bridge, would need to be extended west within the project limits. The existing Class II bike lane will remain with access to the path near the existing bus stop pullout area.

Continuing along the Northern Segment, a protective steel mesh cover would be placed above the path as it crosses under the UPRR tracks to avoid items dropping onto the path. At the Southern Segment, a pedestrian bridge would be constructed to provide access over San Jose Creek. A 14-foot wide by 8-foot high by 144-foot box culvert with solar lighting would likely be utilized to provide access under SR 217.

There are several sections of retaining walls throughout the length of the project site.

The retaining wall foundation types would vary from spread footings ranging between 6 to 8 feet in depth to pile foundations up to 40 feet in depth. The maximum excavation 793
depth for the proposed project would be approximately 12 feet from existing ground at the culvert location.

The majority of the improvements would take place on the west side of San Jose Creek. It is anticipated that approximately 600 feet of the proposed trail will be constructed within the existing San Jose Creek bank, this will occur where the proposed trail crosses under the UPRR and Calle Real bridges. Downstream of UPRR, there are three minor areas of fill where the bank has eroded to the extent that these areas of fill encroach into the stream and below the ordinary high-water mark. The proposed project would perpetuate existing drainage patterns and may include placement of rock slope protection in the location of culvert outfalls throughout the stretch of the proposed project improvements. Embankments will create a detention basin.
• Disturbed Soil Area (DSA) associated with the improv ements within Caltrans ROW is
estimated to be 2.34 acres.

Temporary Soil Stabilization Temporary Soil Stabilization Temporary Soil Stabilization Temporary Soil Stabilization • Minimize active DSA's during the rainy season utiliz ing scheduling techniques. • Preserve existing vegetation to the maximum extent f easible. • Implement temporary protective cover/erosion control on all non-active DSA's and soil stockpiles.
• Control erosive forces of storm water runoff with ef fective storm flow management such as temporary concentrated flow conveyance devices, earthen dikes, drainage swales, lined ditches, outlet protection/velocity dissipation devices, and slope drains as determined feasible.

Temporary Sediment ControlsTemporary Sediment ControlsTemporary Sediment ControlsTemporary Sediment Controls • Implement linear sediment controls such as fiber rol ls, check dams, or gravel bag berms on all active and non-active DSA's during the rainy season. • To further help prevent sediment discharge stabilize d construction site entrances, temporary drainage inlet protection, and street sweeping and vacuuming will be necessary.
• Implement appropriate wind erosion controls year rou nd.

Non Storm Water ManagementNon Storm Water ManagementNon Storm Water ManagementNon Storm Water Management • The appropriate non-storm water BMP's will be implem ented year-round as follows:
• Water conservation practices are implemented on all construction sites and wherever water is used.
• The project area includes areas defined by a high gr oundwater elevation. Multiple earthwork and excavation operations will potentially encounter groundwater during construction activities. Dewatering BMP's may need to be implemented. • Paving and Grinding procedures are implemented where paving, surfacing, resurfacing, grinding, or saw cutting may pollute storm water runoff or discharge to the storm drain system or watercourses.
• Procedures and practices designed for construction c ontractors to recognize illicit
connections or illegally dumped or discharged materials on a construction site and report incidents to the Resident Engineer.
• The following activities must be performed at least
100 feet from concentrated flows
of storm water, drainage courses, and inlets if within the floodplain and at least 50 feet if outside of the floodplain; stockpiling materials, storing equipment and liquid 796
waste containers, washing vehicles or equipment, fueling and maintaining vehicles and equipment.
• Pile driving operations will be part of the construc tion activities. • Concrete curing will be used in the construction of structures such as bridges and retaining walls. Concrete curing includes the use of both chemical and water methods.

Entry
A) R Factor
Analyses of data indicated that when factors other than rainfall are held constant, soil loss is directly proportional to a rainfall factor composed of total storm kinetic energy (E) times the maximum 30-min intensity (I30) (Wischmeier and Smith, 1958). The numerical value of R is the average annual sum of EI30 for storm events during a rainfall record of at least 22 years. "Isoerodent" maps were developed based on R values calculated for more than 1000 locations in the Western U.S. Refer to the link below to determine the R factor for the project site.
http://cfpub.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/LEW/lewCalculator.cfm R Factor Value 75.78
B) K Factor (weighted average, by area, for all site soils) The soil-erodibility factor K represents: (1) susceptibility of soil or surface material to erosion, (2) transportability of the sediment, and (3) the amount and rate of runoff given a particular rainfall input, as measured under a standard condition. Fine-textured soils that are high in clay have low K values (about

0.05 to 0.15) because the particles are resistant to detachment. Coarse-textured soils, such as sandy soils, also have low K values (about 0.05 to 0.2) because of high infiltration resulting in low runoff even though these particles are easily detached. Medium-textured soils, such as a silt loam, have moderate K values (about 0.25 to 0.45) because they are moderately susceptible to particle detachment and they produce runoff at moderate rates. Soils having a high silt content are especially susceptible to erosion and have high K values, which can exceed 0.45 and can be as large as 0.65. Silt-size particles are easily detached and tend to crust, producing high rates and large volumes of runoff. Use Site-specific data must be submitted.

Site-specific K factor guidance
K Factor Value 0.28
C) LS Factor (weighted average, by area, for all slopes) The effect of topography on erosion is accounted for by the LS factor, which combines the effects of a hillslope-length factor, L, and a hillslope-gradient factor, S. Generally speaking, as hillslope length and/or hillslope gradient increase, soil loss increases. As hillslope length increases, total soil loss and soil loss per unit area increase due to the progressive accumulation of runoff in the downslope direction. As the hillslope gradient increases, the velocity and erosivity of runoff increases. Use the LS table located in separate tab of this spreadsheet to determine LS factors. Estimate the weighted LS for the site prior to construction.
