CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to the Alturas Crossing I Project (Project) located at 1320 and 1358 Old Alturas Road:
(1) Authorize the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to the Development Agreement, C-9259 (Amendment) with Alturas Crossing, LP (Developer), thereby increasing the City loan by $1,494,416, for a total loan amount of $3,494,416; (2) Authorize the City Manager to execute any other documents necessary to modify the Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery Multifamily Housing Program (CDBG-DR MHP) grant application and loan documents to facilitate the funding increase; and
(3) Find that increasing funding for a development is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and that the Alturas Crossing construction project was previously found to be exempt pursuant to CEQA Section 15332 (in-fill development projects). The Alturas Crossing construction project has previously been reviewed and determined to meet National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance.

Fiscal Impact
The State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is the lead agency administering CDBG-DR MHP funds. These funds are granted to jurisdictions to provide financing to build income-qualifying multifamily projects. The City of Redding was allocated $16,660,145 in CDBG-DR MHP funds to facilitate the development of eligible projects and to provide funding for staff activity delivery costs.

In March 2022, the City Council (Council) approved a $2,000,000 CDBG-DR MHP loan for the Alturas Crossing Project – this additional request of $1,494,416 is the remaining balance of the CDBG-DR MHP allocation. Increasing the project loan will not impact other projects, activities, or the General Fund.

Report to Redding City Council December 13, 2022
Re: 4.2(a)--Approve First Amendment to the Development Agreement with Alturas Crossing I, LP Page 2
Alternative Action
The Council could provide alternative direction to staff. Any modifications would require additional negotiations and may result in project delays and/or loss of CDBG-DR MHP grant funding.

Background/Analysis
As a result of the wildfires that affected California in 2018, the Federal Emergency Management Agency announced a presidentially declared disaster in five counties, including Shasta County, for the Carr Fire. In recognition of the unmet recovery needs, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development allocated CDBG-DR funds to HCD for those affected jurisdictions. In turn, HCD allocated $16,660,145 to the City of Redding in an effort to support the development of affordable housing in its jurisdiction.

In February 2021, the Council adopted a resolution authorizing the acceptance of CDBG-DR MHP; authorizing the City Manager to execute HCD’s Master Standard Agreement (completed May 2021); and directed staff to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) that provided developers an opportunity to submit multifamily project proposals that consisted of more than eight units.

Staff received a proposal for the Alturas Crossing I Project (Project) located at 1320 and 1358 Old Alturas Road for the construction of 38 income-qualifying units comprised of 14 buildings in two, three, and four-unit configurations and one manager’s unit. On March 15, 2022, the Council approved a Development Agreement allocating $2 million in CDBG-DR MHP funds for the project. Construction commenced on April 12, 2022, and is presently 56-percent complete.

The original cost of the development was $18.5 million; however, due to supply chain issues, cost overruns, historically high inflation, and increased construction loan rates, total project costs have risen to more than $20.8 million as of December, 2022. For this reason, the Developer has requested a loan increase in the amount of $1,494,416 to assist with the completion of the project. The remaining funding gap will be covered through other project resources.

Should the request be granted, the additional funding would increase the total CDBG-DR MHP loan to $3,494,416. The additional funds will follow the original loan terms; one-percent interest, 55-year loan term with repayment of the loan contingent upon the available project residual receipts. At the end of the 55-year term, any principal and interest balance will be due and payable to the City.

Environmental Review
Increasing funding is not considered a project according to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The construction project has already been determined to be categorically exempt under the (CEQA), Section 15332 (in-fill development projects).

Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), administrative and management activities are considered exempt activities and no further action is required. The NEPA review has already been completed for the Alturas Crossing construction project.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution acknowledging Kennett Court II Apartments (Project) is complete pursuant to City of Redding requirements and the Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery Multi-Housing Program (CDBG-DR MHP) guidelines.

Fiscal Impact
There is no impact related to this report.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to adopt the resolution acknowledging that the project is complete. Under this alternative, the City of Redding (City) would not be following CDBG-DR MHP grant requirements and the ramifications of not providing the requested resolution are unknown.

Background/Analysis
As a result of the wildfires that affected California in 2018, a Presidentially-Declared Disaster was assigned to five counties, including Shasta County for the Carr Fire. In recognition of the unmet recovery needs, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development allocated CDBG-DR funds to the State of California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD). HCD is the agency responsible for administering the CDBG-DR funds and approving any resulting multifamily projects.

HCD undertook an extensive needs assessment to determine the specific priorities of the affected counties with significant community outreach and analysis that resulted in four CDBG-DR Program categories: housing, infrastructure, economic revitalization, and planning. The majority of funds are allocated to the unmet rental housing needs in affected counties. To meet the unmet MEETING DATE: December 20, 2022

Kennett Court II Apartments, the first multi-family development to be completed using CDBGDR MHP funds, consists of 47 income-eligible apartment units with one manager’s unit and is located at 1155 Lake Boulevard. On March 15, 2022, the Council approved a $1,000,000 loan of CDBG-DR MHP funds to assist Kennett Investors II, LP, to develop and construct the project.

The project was completed on August 15, 2022, and is now fully occupied. CDBG-DR MHP regulations require that once the funded project is completed, the local jurisdiction must adopt a resolution that acknowledges its satisfactory completion.

Environmental Review
Adopting a completion resolution is not considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The actual construction of the project was previously reviewed for CEQA compliance.

Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), administrative and management activities such as adopting a resolution are considered exempt activities and no further action is required. The actual construction project was reviewed for NEPA requirements before the project started.

CITY OF REDDING

SHELTER CRISIS ACTION PLAN
California Government Code Section 8698, et seq., allows the governing body of a city to declare a Shelter Crisis when a significant number of persons are without the ability to obtain shelter, resulting in a threat to their health and safety.

The 2020 Shasta County Point‐in‐Time Report provided that four hundred fifty‐four (454) individuals within the City of Redding “(“City”), including veterans, women, children, individuals with disabilities, senior citizens, and other vulnerable groups, are experiencing unsheltered homelessness within the City. Many of those unable to obtain shelter reside on the streets, in alleys and doorways, along the Sacramento River and its tributaries, and in unlawful encampments throughout the City. These individuals lack adequate sanitary facilities and are at risk from theft, crime, and extreme weather conditions, these conditions threaten the health and safety of the unsheltered population and likewise threaten the public health and safety of the public at large, contribute to a draw on public resources, and threaten the environmental health of the City’s waterways.

In June 2021, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring that the City of Redding has a shelter crisis.  A shelter crisis proclaimsthat a significant number of people are without the ability to obtain shelter.  Following this declaration, the Council approved two Ordinances (2637 and 2638) thereby amending Redding Municipal Code (RMC) Title 18 (Zoning), Chapter 18.17, subsection 18.17.020 (Temporary Uses Exempt from Permits) and RMC Title 16, Chapter 16.02, subsection 16.02.010 and Chapter 16.03, subsection 16.03.010 relating to establishing the criteria for permitting emergency housing sites and the operation of the same during a declared Shelter Crisis.

With the declaration of a shelter crisis and the City enacting the provisions of RMC Section

18.17.020 and portions of Title 16, these actions allow organizations within the City to request permits issued by the City Council to set up and operate an Emergency Housing Site as defined in the RMC and in Appendix O of the California Building Code.  The Emergency Housing Sites will provide low barrier, sanitary shelter for up to 10 months, for those experiencing homelessness.

Wrap‐around supportive services will be provided to the occupants of the Emergency Housing Sites with the goal of moving those individuals into permanent housing.

Pursuant to California Government Code Section 8698 and RMC Chapter 18.17.020, subsection M., 14, the City Manager shall, not later than July 1st of the year following the declaration of any shelter crisis, develop a plan to address the shelter crisis which shall include the development of homeless shelters and permanent supportive housing as well as onsite supportive services.

The implementation of Emergency Housing Sites within the City of Redding provides a resource to address the crisis of the unsheltered by creating housing facilities offering short‐term shelter bridging the gap to transitional or permanent housing.  Considering Emergency Housing Sites Packet Pg. 82

RE: City of Redding Shelter Crisis Declaration – First Annual Status Report Pursuant to Government Code 8698.4(a)(6)
Dear Ms. Riches and Ms. Engel,
On June 15, 2021, the City of Redding (City) declared a shelter crisis pursuant to Government Code 8698.4. This is the City’s first status report to the State of California Senate Committee on Housing and the Assembly Committee on Housing and Community Development, as required by Government Code 8698.4(a)(6), outlining its progress in addressing its shelter crisis.

The Housing Authority of the City and the City’s Housing Division have provided the majority of the data for Fiscal Year 2021-22. Data sources include the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and the NorCal Continuum of Care Housing Inventory Count (HIC).

Pursuant to Government Code 8698.4(a)(6) the following questions (i) through (vi) must be reported annually by January 1st of each year:
(i) The total number of residents in homeless shelters within the city, county, or city and county.

The total number of residents in homeless shelters within the City of Redding (City) and Shasta County (County): 376.

Attachment: COR 2022 Annual Status Report to the State of CA Shelter Crisis (4.2(c)--Shelter Crisis Annual Report) There are 976 shelter beds in the County (including Emergency Shelter, Transitional Housing, Permanent Supportive Housing, and Rapid Re-Housing beds). Of these, 100 percent are in facilities that participate in HMIS and report having served 630 people in FY 2021-22.

The number of shelter beds in the City increased by 91 from the previous year. This can be attributed to the City’s investment in additional shelter beds under programs such as No Boundaries (76 beds) and Pathways to Housing (15 beds).

No Boundaries, a new interim housing facility with 76 beds was secured in FY 2021-22.

Pathways to Housing with 15 beds was constructed in 2022. (ii) The total number of residents who have moved from a homeless shelter into permanent supportive housing within the city, county, or city and county.

The total number of residents who moved from a homeless shelter into permanent supportive housing within the City: 45.

Source: HMIS and Housing Pro.

The Redding Housing Authority was allocated a total of 70 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) Vouchers. As of December 1, 2022, there are 45 active leases on the program. (iii) The estimated number of permanent supportive housing units in the County.

Total estimated number of PSH units: 171
Source: 2022 Shasta County HIC Report
This number includes units in City-funded PSH housing developments, scattered site PSH units, and units that do not participate in HMIS.
(iv) The number of residents who have exited the system and are no longer in need of a homeless shelter or permanent supportive housing within the city, county, or city and county.

The number of residents who have exited the system and are no longer in need of a homeless shelter or PSH within the City: 128.

Source: HMIS
This number is based on persons reported in HMIS as having left a shelter or PSH unit within the City for unassisted permanent housing, such as family reunification or unassisted rental housing.

The Redding Housing Authority was allocated a total of 64 Emergency Housing Vouchers. As of December 1, 2022, there are 63 active leases on the program (98 percent utilization). (v) The number of new homeless shelters built pursuant to this section within the city, county, or city and county.

Attachment: COR 2022 Annual Status Report to the State of CA Shelter Crisis (4.2(c)--Shelter Crisis Annual Report) Three Emergency Housing Sites are in progress: one is under construction and two are identifying their operational funding sources with the intent to open in early 2023, for an additional 23 shelter beds (Mark Street – 8 beds, Goodwater Crossing – 4 beds, Good News Rescue Mission – 11 beds).
(vi) New actions the City is taking under the declared shelter crisis to better serve the homeless population and to reduce the number of people experiencing homelessness.

Since declaring a shelter crisis, the City has allocated a total of more than $875,927 to the Crisis Intervention Response Team, No Boundaries, RABA/United Way partnership (TBD), Pallet Shelters, and Emergency Housing Site infrastructure. This funding includes:
• $294,360 from the City’s State of California Permanent Local Housing Assistance Program (PLHA) grant allocation for capital and operating costs; • $53,812 in City Successor Housing Agency dollars allocated for capital costs and camp/property clean-up/mitigation costs and emergency housing site infrastructure; • $377,267 from the City’s Federal Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) - for capital and Crisis Intervention Response Team operating costs;
• $150,488 from the City’s Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) - COVID for capital costs and pallet shelters;
The City reached an agreement with the County of Shasta (County) to administer the State of California Homeless Housing and Incentive Program (HHIP) grant allocation for $7,337,448.

Administrative costs for the grant equals $1,100,470.

The City is in the process of negotiating an agreement with the County to allocate funds to be utilized for operating costs associated with the previously noted Emergency Housing Sites.

The City is the process of negotiating an agreement with the County to allocate between $400,000 and $700,000 to assist with infrastructure costs associated with developing units for unsheltered individuals suffering from mental illness.

For purposes of this section, the following terms have the following meanings:
(1) “Homeless shelter” means a facility with overnight sleeping accommodations, the primary purpose of which is to provide temporary shelter for the homeless that is not in existence after the declared shelter crisis. A temporary homeless shelter community may include supportive and self-sufficiency development services.
(2) “Permanent supportive housing” means housing for people who are homeless, with no limit on length of stay, and that is linked to onsite or offsite services that assist the supportive housing resident in retaining the housing, improving the person’s health status, and maximizing the person’s ability to live and, when possible, work in the community.

Packet Pg. 92
Report to Redding City Council December 15, 2022
Re: 4.5(a)--Bid Schedule No. 5139, Trench and Excavation Work Page 2 Background/Analysis
The Electric Department utilizes an on-call excavation contractor to support new development, repairs, and rebuilds of electric utility facilities. Iron Mountain General Engineering, Inc., (Iron Mountain) has provided these services to the City of Redding (City) for over five years.

Historically, annual trench and excavation costs have been less than $400,000, and the Electric Department has not utilized the total budgeted amount.

On July 21, 2020, the Council awarded Bid Schedule No. 5139, for Electric Utility Trench and Excavation, to Iron Mountain for $465,830 through June 30, 2021, with a $46,500 contingency and the ability to extend the contract two additional times for a period of one-year each. The awarded annual amount accounted for large projects planned for the fiscal year. This current fiscal year, however, the cost of relocating the electric distribution system has been higher than was initially estimated.

On July 19, 2022, the Council awarded Bid Schedule No. 5290 for Bechelli ATP, which required extensive electrical utility infrastructure relocations and upgrades. Since most of the electrical infrastructure is under the streets and sidewalks, the electrical upgrades and relocation work must be completed prior to finishing the project.

As of November 4, 2022, $440,763.53 of the current contract with Iron Mountain has been exhausted. Most of the excavation work has been for Bechelli ATP, and an estimated $400,000 worth of work remains. The requested addition of $500,000, combined with the existing $46,500 contingency, should be sufficient to complete the planned projects and support emergency repairs through the end of the contract on June 30, 2023.

The Electric Department will solicit new bids for excavation services for Fiscal Year 2023-24.

Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no further action is required at this time. Each future project conducted under this contract is subject to CEQA review.

On July 19, 2022, the City Council determined that the Bechelli ATP was categorically exempt from review under the CEQA Guidelines, per Section 15301(c) – Existing Facilities. On March 21, 2019, Caltrans determined that the Bechelli ATP was categorically excluded from review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

construction management, and construction contingency funds may be necessary to balance the project within the approved budget.

On January 24, 2022, the City Council (Council) accepted and appropriated ATP grant funds in the amount of $6,740,000 for construction costs related to the project. In addition, the report identified funding sources for the remaining funds that would be budgeted once the bids were opened and project costs fully understood. Additional Streets Division funds are needed to fund the project. All other revenue sources are included in the current fiscal year budget.

Alternative Action
The Council may choose to not award the bid for the Bechelli Lane Improvements ATP Project and provide staff with alternative direction. Without this project, much needed pedestrian and bicycle mobility and safety improvements will not be completed, and the project may not be completed. In addition, if this project is not awarded, the City of Redding (City) is at risk of losing nearly $7 million dollars in federal funding due to grant requirements for project delivery.

Background/Analysis
The Bechelli Lane Improvements Project is a planned active transportation improvement to provide continuous sidewalk and bicycle facilities, enhanced pedestrian crossings, and other similar improvements along Bechelli Lane from Cypress Avenue to the new Costco Development, in addition to improvements along Loma Vista Avenue between Bechelli Lane and Churn Creek Road. The improvements include Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramps, sidewalk gap completion, enhanced pedestrian crossings, buffered bike lanes, functional landscaping, corridor lighting, asphalt concrete cold milling and placement, micro-surfacing, and restriping, as is detailed on the plans. This project is included in the City’s Active Transportation Plan and the Regional Transportation Plan.

Attached is a tabulation of bids received and opened on June 14, 2021, for the Bechelli Lane Improvements (ATP) Project. The low bid in the amount of $9,463,617.46 was received from Tullis, Inc., of Redding, California. The engineer's estimate was $8,649,000. Total project development costs for this project are estimated to be $1,095,000. Project development costs include engineering, surveying, right-of-way, environmental, and consultant services. The ARPA funding is dedicated to storm drain improvements and accounts for overage amounts not previously budgeted.

Staff has reviewed the project and determined that the project is Categorically Exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, per Section 15301(c) - Existing Facilities. Class 1 exemptions include minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, or topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of use. This includes the addition of bicycle lanes and bicycle facilities, sidewalk and pedestrian crossings, transit improvements, street trees, and other similar alterations that do not create additional automobile lanes. The proposed project will enhance the existing facility for pedestrians and bicyclists, but will not create additional vehicle capacity. The project has been reviewed for sensitive resources and will not have a significant effect on biological or cultural resources such as threatened or endangered species or their habitats, sensitive vegetation communities, tribal lands, or tribal cultural resources. The project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. On March 21, 2019, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) made a determination that the project is Categorically Excluded from Packet Pg. 95

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following relative to Bid Schedule No. 5139 (Job Nos. 4006-20 & 4010-20) for furnishing electric utility trench and excavation work:
(1) Award to Iron Mountain General Engineering, Inc. (Iron Mountain) of Redding, California, at the bid unit prices, for a total amount of $465,830, during the period of July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021;
(2) Authorize the City Manager or designee to approve project construction change orders up to, and not to exceed, $46,500 (ten percent of the contract amount); and (3) If mutually agreeable, with all prices, terms, and conditions remaining the same, the contract may be extended for two additional one-year periods.

Fiscal Impact
Funds are available within the Redding Electric Department’s (REU) General System Improvements Capital Outlay budget to cover additional costs and contingency.

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose not to award and reject the bid. REU would be unable to provide timely electric utility support for residential and commercial development and would be unable to repair/rebuild existing electric facilities.

Background/Analysis
This is a bid for procurement of electric utility trench and excavation work during the period of July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021. Trench and excavation work will be performed on an as-needed basis subject to the availability of budgeted funds. Typically, actual annual trench and excavation costs run $400,000 to $500,000.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the sole-source purchase of one Type III wildland engine from Golden State Fire Apparatus, Inc., for a price not to exceed $450,000, which includes inspection trips, delivery, sales tax, and a pre-payment discount.

Fiscal Impact
The Type III wildland fire engine purchase involves an expenditure not to exceed $450,000 from the Fire Department’s rolling stock account. There would be no new fiscal impact as a result of this purchase.

Alternative Action
The City Council could opt to not approve the request for this purchase and direct to the Fire Department to purchase a custom Type III fire engine at an approximate additional cost of $110,000-120,000 and a thirty-month build time.

Background/Analysis
On December 8, 2022, the Fire Department received a proposal from Golden State Fire Apparatus for one Type III fire engine. The Type III fire engine is a “stock-build engine”, meaning it has no specific modifications made for the Fire Department; it is built ready-made for delivery. The proposal represents a unique opportunity to immediately purchase the stock engine, saving approximately $110,000 to $120,000 compared to a custom build. Currently, the build time for a custom Type III engine is thirty months from the time of order.

Report to Redding City Council December 13, 2022
Re: 4.8(a)--Authorize Purchase of Type III Wildland Engine Page 2 The stock Type III fire engine the Fire Department is requesting to purchase mirrors the engines used by Cal-Fire. Having the same equipment as Cal-Fire is advantageous when Redding Fire Department is deployed on a fire with Cal-Fire as the mechanics would be able to fix and replace parts on site. It is the recommendation of the Fire Department going forward to only purchase stock Type III fire engines for the above reasons.

Upon delivery and placement in service, the Type III fire engine will replace a 1994 Type III wildland fire engine. Fire engines of this age are increasingly unreliable and are recommended for surplus.

This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.

Report to Redding City Council December 9, 2022
Re: 4.11(a)--Award RFP SN 5319, Arch Srvcs; Fire Station Assesment Page 2 • Fire Station 9 (New) – Staff has identified a need for a new station near the Shasta View Corridor, which would significantly reduce response times in east Redding.

Architectural services for the Fire Station Assessment and Modernization Project will be broken into two phases. Phase 1, as outlined in the attached Consulting and Professional Services Agreement, includes project management, fire station data collection, field reviews, and environmental scoping culminating in a Fire Station Assessment Report. The report will identify safety and operational deficiencies and provide alternatives and costs to address these items. The report will also provide sufficient information for the City to prioritize and fund future projects to implement.

If the City is satisfied with NMRs’ services at the completion of Phase 1 (expected summer of 2023), then staff will return to the Council and recommend authorization of an amendment with NMR to add Phase 2 architectural design services. Phase 2 services will implement project development and design services required to deliver the capital construction projects identified and recommended for funding and implementation. Otherwise, a separate Request for Proposals (RFP) will be required for Phase 2 architectural design services.

CONSULTANT SELECTION PROCESS
The City must contract with qualified architectural firms to develop the Fire Stations Assessment Report. The City issued a formal RFP on August 19, 2022, for the required services, and five proposals, including fees in sealed envelopes, were received and opened on September 22, 2022.

Unfortunately, two firms did not follow the appropriate RFP requirements, with regards to registration with the Department of Industrial relations prior to submitting proposals, and those proposals were deemed non-responsive.

A review and selection panel was formed with four staff members from the Fire Department, Public Works Engineering, and Building Maintenance divisions. The panel’s evaluation was based on the consultants’ ability and qualifications to perform all phases of the engineering services that will be required, including both Phases 1 and 2.

The panel members evaluated and scored each proposal based on the RFP selection criteria including the consultants’ understanding of the project scope, project approach, team experience with similar fire station modernization and design, qualifications of the project manager and team with the City’s project requirements, ability to complete projects on time and within budget, and the teams’ location. After reviewing the proposals, the panel elected to interview all three of the firms that submitted responsive proposals.

Oral interviews were held on October 27 and 28, 2022, at City Hall. Each consultant team was allowed 45 minutes to provide a presentation and answer the City’s questions. Review Panel members evaluated and scored each consultant team based on its presentation and responses to the questions.

After the oral interviews, the review panel:
• Combined scores from the consultants’ proposals and oral interview to determine the overall score.
• Ranked consultants based on their overall score.

Report to Redding City Council December 9, 2022
Re: 4.11(a)--Award RFP SN 5319, Arch Srvcs; Fire Station Assesment Page 3 The panel ranked the firms as follows:

Rank Firm Fee
1 NMR $297,950
2 COAR $687,925
3 Rubio Medina $364,386
- Trilogy DLR Group Non-responsive
- ORW Architecture Non-responsive
Applying the evaluation criteria to the proposals and oral interview scoring, it is the opinion of the selection panel that NMR is the most qualified team to provide the required services.

The RFP is a qualification-based selection process. Following the proposal review, staff evaluated the fee proposal and determined the proposed fees are consistent with pre-proposal estimates and provide good value for the services included. Additionally, NMR’s proposed fee happened to be the lowest received.

The attached Consultant and Professional Services Agreement has been approved to form by the City Attorney.

Environmental Review
Consultant selection is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no further action is required. The consultant and City staff will provide design and technical study information necessary to ensure environmental clearance as the project progresses.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Award the lowest competitive bids relative to Bid Schedule No. 5329, Rock and Mineral Products, to J.F. Shea, Stimpel-Wiebelhaus, and Tullis, Inc. for the annual purchase of rock, asphalt, and mineral aggregates at an estimated cost of $350,000.

Fiscal Impact
Approximately $350,000 will be spent by City of Redding (City) Departments for rock, asphalt, and mineral aggregate materials during the fiscal year. Funding for these materials is routinely allocated in the various maintenance divisions’ budgets.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to award the contracts for rock, asphalt, and mineral products. In the event the Council chooses to not award these contracts at this time, staff would have to call on a weekly basis for competitive prices on the material needed to complete maintenance projects. This would increase administrative costs and could cause disruption in work schedules if crews have to wait for material deliveries.

Background/Analysis
Attached is a tabulation of bids received and opened on Tuesday, November 1, 2022, for rock, asphalt, and mineral aggregate products for the period of January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023. The solicitation is completed annually, and the purchase of these products is made as needed for maintenance divisions engaged in various types of infrastructure repairs. The estimated annual purchase for all City divisions is expected to be roughly $350,000. Funds are budgeted annually in several divisions for these purchases.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Accept the City of Redding Mitigation Fee Act Report Update, including an accounting of development fees; and adopt Resolution making findings concerning unexpended funds.

Fiscal Impact
The Mitigation Fee Act Report Update (Report) for Fiscal Year 2021–22 accounts for $25 million in Development Impact Fees. There is no direct fiscal impact in accepting this report other than the staff time necessary for preparation.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose to not accept the Report, thereby not making the required finding, and provide alternative direction to staff. Without the finding, the Impact Fee Program as currently adopted will be abandoned and the collected monies may need to be refunded.

Background/Analysis
The City of Redding (City) collects a wide range of impact fees from development projects. The fees are utilized to construct various public capital improvements that mitigate the burden new development has on the City’s infrastructure systems. California Government Code §66000, et seq., defines specific reporting requirements to provide the public an annual account of revenues and expenditures associated with the various impact fee programs.

To meet these requirements, staff has prepared a Mitigation Fee Act Report Update for Fiscal Year 2021–22. The annual Report must be available to the public within 180 days of the end of the fiscal year. A public notice of the availability of the Report was published in the Record Searchlight on December 5, 2022.

The Mitigation Fee Act Report Update provides an annual account of the collection and use of the fees collected from development projects within the City of Redding. The fees are utilized to construct various public capital improvement projects. Public capital improvement projects typically include the construction of streets, structures, park facilities, sewer lines, waterlines, storm drainage facilities, and traffic-control devices.

The purpose of this report is to make the required findings and account for the various funds to support retention of fees that have been collected. Fees collected prior to the adoption of the Development Impact Fee Ordinance, effective April 24, 2001, are accounted for in the same manner as fees collected subsequent to that date, and in accordance with the provisions of the Mitigation Fee Act.

The collection and accounting of fees is governed by Government Code Section 66006(b). Fees are deposited in separate accounts or funds established by the City of Redding’s Finance Division. Interest income earned on these monies remains with the account in support of the capital projects.

This report is the annual Mitigation Fee Act Report (FYE 2022) and is an update to the report accepted by the City Council of the City of Redding on March 1, 2022.

The purpose of this fee was to provide for the construction of street widening, traffic signals, and bridge widenings related to new development within the Canyon Creek Road Traffic Impact Fee zone in accordance with the development forecast under the City of Redding General Plan. These improvements will also provide secondary emergency access to developed property within the district boundaries. As the amount of new development contemplated by the General Plan occurs, there will be an additional burden on the district's surface transportation system in the Canyon Creek Road traffic impact fee zone.

Without funding-identified capital improvements, there will be an unacceptable level of traffic congestion, delays, accidents, and generally reduced public safety. Air quality could be adversely affected, as has been demonstrated in other studies when idle/standing times are increased.

The purpose of the Storm Drainage Impact Fee, as set forth in Section 16.20.220 of the Redding Municipal Code, is to finance the cost of drainage and storm-water detention projects, including mains, tributary systems, creek improvements, and detention basins that are related to new development. New development increases the amount of impervious surfaces due to more roof area, paved streets, driveways, and parking lots. Flooding potential is thereby increased, particularly during periods of highintensity and/or sustained rainfall, creating an unacceptable hazard to citizen welfare and safety. The Storm Drainage Impact Fees will finance the improvements necessary to maintain adequate drainage, flood protection, and storm-water detention throughout the city in response to the impacts of new development.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to the Flood Damage Repair Project within City of Redding park and trail areas:
(1) Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Mitigation Monitoring and Environmental Commitment Program; and
(2) Approve the Flood Damage Repair Project as described, thereby satisfying the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines §15074.

Fiscal Impact
Approval of the Flood Damage Repair Project (Project) along with adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and the Mitigation Monitoring and Environmental Commitment Program (MMP) allows the project to move toward the final design and construction phases.

There is no fiscal impact as a direct result of adopting the MND and MMP and approving the project.

The City of Redding (City) has received funding assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for public assistance project PA-09-CA-4301-PW-00936. FEMA has obligated approximately $589,052 for delivery of this project to date, but will provide funding for actual costs expended. Actual project costs are shared by FEMA (75%), State of California (State) (18.75%) and the City (6.25%), and expected to be approximately $785,403.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose to not adopt the MND and the MMP, and not approve the project as described. This project would not be able to proceed without the approval of these documents, as it would not be in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines.

Report to Redding City Council December 14, 2022
Re: 4.11(d)--Approval of the Flood Damage Repair Project Page 2 Background/Analysis
In January 2017, heavy rains and severe flooding caused water to overtop embankments along the Sacramento River, which damaged various parks and trails. The City sought funding assistance from FEMA and developed multiple projects to repair the storm damage.

The project consists of 12 work sites, located in four recreational areas: Turtle Bay East, Parkview Park, Blue Gravel Mine Trail, and Enterprise Park. The project will repair seating and viewing areas; as well as trail surfaces, trail embankments, and culverts. Work will include vegetation removal, demolition, excavation, grading, sediment removal, culvert cleaning, erosion repair, culvert installation, and placement of rock slope protection. Work will occur on City property or within easements. Construction is anticipated to take one season and will be completed in the fall of 2023. The project is needed so that pedestrians and bicyclists can continue to use the park and trail areas for recreation purposes.

An Initial Study (IS) was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the CEQA. It describes why the project is being proposed and the potential impacts to the existing environment. The IS shows that the proposed project could have a significant effect on biological resources, but with implementation of mitigation measures, those impacts will be reduced to a level considered less than significant. The mitigation measures and conservation measures to be implemented are common practices and include, but are not limited to, biological pre-construction surveys, inwater work windows, water quality monitoring, impact minimization, exclusionary fencing, and erosion control.

Based on the conclusions made in the IS, an MND was prepared. The MND describes the project, including mitigation measures, and makes the determination that there will be no significant effect on the environment provided that the defined mitigation measures are implemented as part of the project. In addition, an MMP has been written and incorporated into the MND (CEQA Section 21081.6). The MMP will be used by City staff, contractors, agencies, and monitoring personnel during and after the project to ensure effective implementation of the adopted mitigation measures outlined in the MND.

The IS/MND/MMP documents were sent to the State Clearinghouse for a 30-day public review period and distribution to pertinent state agencies. They were sent to local resource agencies, the Shasta County Clerk, and posted on the Public Works Department website. A public notice was also sent to landowners in the vicinity of the project and posted in the local newspaper. One comment letter was received during the public review period.

Environmental Review
The City of Redding is the lead agency for the project pursuant to CEQA. As the lead CEQA agency, the Council is authorized to adopt the MND per Redding Municipal Code Section §18.24.070.E and state law. Upon adoption of the MND and approval of the project by the Council, a Notice of Determination will be filed with the Shasta County Clerk’s Office and the State Clearinghouse, which will complete the environmental review process. The IS/MND is available in the Public Works Department and is currently available online at https://www.cityofredding.org/departments/public-works/environmental-management.

MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION

FLOOD DAMAGE REPAIR PROJECT
(STATE CLEARINGHOUSE NO. 2022100476)

SUBJECT
Flood Damage Repair Project

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Redding (City) is proposing the Flood Damage Repair Project in the City of Redding, Shasta County, California. In January 2017, heavy rains and severe flooding caused water to overtop embankments along the Sacramento River and local streams, damaging various parks and trails. The purpose of the project is to repair flood-damaged areas within City park and trail areas so that pre-flood design, function, and capacity (in-kind) is achieved. The project is needed so that pedestrians and bicyclists can continue to use the park and trail areas for recreation purposes. The project is led by the City and has received funding assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA No.

PA-09-CA-4301-PW-00936) to complete the project.

The project consists of twelve work sites, located in four recreational areas: Turtle Bay East, Parkview Park, Blue Gravel Mine Trail, and Enterprise Park. The project will repair seating and viewing areas; as well as trail surfaces, trail embankments, and culverts. Work will include vegetation removal, demolition, excavation, grading, sediment removal, culvert cleaning, erosion repair, culvert installation, and placement of rock slope protection. Work will occur on City property or within easements. Construction is anticipated to take one season and will be completed in the fall of 2023.

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
The Turtle Bay East site is located in the Turtle Bay East Open Space Park, which is bisected by State Route 44 and parallel to Interstate 5. A small area near the project site is zoned Residential, and the remaining areas are designated as Open Space-Specific Plan and Public land use. This area includes a network of paved and unpaved trails that traverse riparian woodland habitats and grasslands.

The Parkview Park site is located at the Parkview Riverfront Park and is situated on the western bank of the Sacramento River. This area is designated as Open Space-Specific Plan land use. Land use surrounding the park is primarily commercial and residential development.

The Blue Gravel Mine Trail is located near the intersection of Placer Street and Buenaventura Boulevard.

Land use in the project vicinity includes Open Space, Residential, Commercial, Public, and transportation corridors. The project area includes paved trail area that traverses through a narrow, undeveloped canyon formed by the Blue Gravel Creek.

The Enterprise Park sites are located on the west side of Enterprise Community Park, near the community garden. Surrounding land use includes residential housing and open fields to the south.

City of Redding
Public Works Department, Engineering Division Mitigated Negative Declaration

FINDINGS AND DETERMINATION
The City of Redding conducted an Initial Study (attached) that determined that the proposed project could have significant environmental effects on biological resources. Implementation of specific mitigation measures identified below will avoid or mitigate the potentially significant environmental effects identified, and the preparation of an environmental impact report will not be required. If there are substantial changes that alter the character or impacts of the proposed project, another environmental impact determination will be necessary.

Prior to approval of the project, the lead agency may conclude, at a public hearing, that certain mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration are infeasible or undesirable. In accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15074.1, the lead agency may delete those mitigation measures and substitute other measures that it determines are equivalent or more effective. The lead agency would adopt written findings that the new measure(s) is(are) equivalent or more effective in mitigating or avoiding potential significant effects and that it would not cause any potentially significant effect on the environment.
1) Based on the whole record (including the Initial Study and any supporting documentation) and the mitigation measures incorporated into the project, the City of Redding has determined that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. 2) The Mitigated Negative Declaration, with its supporting documentation, reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the lead agency, which is the City of Redding.

DOCUMENTATION
The attached Initial Study documents the reasons to support the above determination.

MITIGATION MEASURES
The following mitigation measures will be incorporated into the project to minimize potential effects on biological resources:

MM-1. All areas to be avoided during construction will be fenced and/or flagged as close to construction limits as possible.

MM-2. Worker Environmental Awareness Training will be conducted by a qualified biologist before the start of work to educate crews regarding the location of the elderberry shrubs, life history and listing status of VELB, and the measures necessary to avoid impacts onto the shrub and VELB habitat (USFWS 2017).

MM-3. A qualified biologist will monitor the work area at project-appropriate intervals to assure that all avoidance and minimization measures are implemented.

MM-4. Activities that involve work within the stream channel and activities within 165 feet of the elderberry shrub will be conducted during the lowest flow period and outside of the flight season of VELB. The work period for the Parkview Park is July 1 to October 31.

December 2022
Packet Pg. 164 Attachment: ^Mitigated Negative Declaration (4.11(d)--Approval of the Flood Damage Repair Project)

City of Redding
Mitigated Negative Declaration Public Works Department, Engineering Division MM-5. All construction personnel will be required to attend an environmental awareness training prior to the start of construction. The training will be conducted by a qualified biologist and will familiarize construction personnel with the special status species that may occur onsite, their habitats, provisions and protections, measures to be implemented, and the project boundaries. The training must be provided within 3 days of the arrival of any new worker.

MM-6. Prior to the onset of construction activities, a qualified biologist will conduct preconstruction surveys for western pond turtle, turtle nests, and foothill yellow-legged frog. If these species or turtle nests are observed during the preconstruction survey or during construction, CDFW will be contacted, and work within that area will be avoided until an appropriate course of action is established. If western pond turtle, turtle nests, or foothill yellow-legged frog are not observed during the preconstruction survey, then construction activities may begin. If construction is delayed or halted for more than 7 days, another preconstruction survey will be conducted.

MM-7. If vegetation removal or construction activities will occur during the nesting season for birds or raptors (February 1 through August 31 for birds and November 1 through July 1 for raptors), a qualified biologist will conduct a preconstruction survey seven (7) days before construction activities begin. If nesting birds or raptors are found, CDFW will be notified and consulted. An appropriate buffer, as determined by CDFW and the qualified biologist, will be placed around the nest until the young have fledged. If construction activities cease for a period greater than 7 days, additional preconstruction surveys will be required.

MM-8. If an active raptor nest is found, no construction activities will occur within 300-feet of the nest for raptors and 450-feet of the nest for special-status raptors unless a smaller buffer zone is approved by the CDFW. Construction may resume once the young have left the nest or as approved by a qualified biologist.

MM-9. If it is determined that tree removal is required, the removal of trees 10 inches DBH or greater with cavities, crevices, or snags shall occur before bat maternity colonies form (i.e., prior to March 1) or after young are volant (i.e., after August 31), to the extent practical. If construction (including the removal of large trees) occurs during the bat non-volant season (March 1 through August 31), a qualified biologist shall conduct a pre-construction survey of the study area to locate maternity colonies. The preconstruction survey will be performed no more than 7 days prior to the implementation of construction activities. If a maternity colony is located within or adjacent to the study area, a disturbance free buffer shall be established by a qualified biologist, in consultation with CDFW, to ensure the colony is protected from project activities. If construction activities cease for a period greater than 7 days, additional preconstruction surveys will be required.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT PROGRAM

FLOOD DAMAGE REPAIR PROJECT
FEMA-PA-09-CA-4301-PW-00936
(STATE CLEARINGHOUSE NO. 2022100476)

MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM CONTENTS
This document is the Mitigation Monitoring and Environmental Commitment Program (MMP/ECP) for the Flood Damage Repair Project (project). The MMP/ECP includes a brief discussion of the legal basis for, and the purpose of, the program, discussion, and direction regarding complaints about noncompliance; a key to understanding the monitoring matrix; and the monitoring matrix.

LEGAL BASIS OF AND PURPOSE FOR THE MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM California Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 requires public agencies to adopt mitigation monitoring or reporting programs whenever certifying an environmental impact report (EIR) or a mitigated negative declaration (MND). This requirement facilitates implementation of all mitigation measures adopted through the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process.

The MMP contained herein is intended to satisfy the requirements of CEQA as they relate to the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the project. It is intended to be used by City of Redding (City) staff, participating agencies, project contractors, and mitigation monitoring personnel during implementation of the project.

Mitigation is defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15370 as a measure that does any of the following:
 Avoids impacts altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action.  Minimizes impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation.  Rectifies impacts by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the impacted environment.  Reduces or eliminates impacts over time by preservation and maintenance operations during the life of the project.
 Compensates for impacts by replacing or providing substitute resources or environments.

The intent of the MMP is to ensure the effective implementation and enforcement of adopted mitigation measures and permit conditions. The MMP will provide for monitoring of construction activities as necessary, onsite identification and resolution of environmental problems, and proper reporting to City staff.

In addition to meeting the CEQA MMP requirements, this document incorporates environmental commitments, standard practices, conservation measures, and best management practices (BMPs).

The environmental commitments may be part of the project design, standard contract specifications, City requirements, or conservation measures. These commitments are part of the project, but they do not Packet Pg. 167 Attachment: ^Mitigation Monitoring and Environmental Commitment Program (4.11(d)--Approval of the Flood Damage Repair Project) City of Redding
Public Works Department, Engineering Division Mitigation Monitoring Program

October 2022
constitute mitigation under CEQA as they have not been incorporated to reduce a potentially significant impact.

MITIGATION MONITORING/ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT PROGRAM TABLE The MMP/ECP Table identifies the mitigation measures and commitments proposed for the project.

The tables have the following columns:
 Mitigation Measure: Lists the mitigation measures identified within the Initial Study for a specific potentially significant impact, along with the number for each measure as enumerated in the Initial Study.
 Environmental Commitment: Lists the commitments identified within the project that are not related to a potentially significant CEQA impact, but further ensure environmental resource protection.
 Timing: Identifies at what point in time, review process, or phase the mitigation measure will be completed.
 Agency/Department Consultation: References the City department or any other public agency with which coordination is required to satisfy the identified mitigation measure.  Verification: Spaces to be initialed and dated by the individual designated to verify adherence to a specific mitigation measure.

NONCOMPLIANCE COMPLAINTS
Any person or agency may file a complaint asserting noncompliance with the mitigation measures and commitments associated with the project. The complaint shall be directed to the City in written form, providing specific information on the asserted violation. The City shall investigate and determine the validity of the complaint. If noncompliance with a mitigation measure has occurred, the City shall take appropriate action to remedy any violation. The compliant shall receive written confirmation indicating the results of the investigation or the final action corresponding to the particular noncompliance issue.

If a maternity colony is located within or adjacent to the study area, a disturbance free buffer shall be established by a qualified biologist, in consultation with CDFW, to ensure the colony is protected from project activities. If construction activities cease for a period greater than 7 days, additional preconstruction surveys will be required.

MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION

FLOOD DAMAGE REPAIR PROJECT
(STATE CLEARINGHOUSE NO. 2022100476)

SUBJECT
Flood Damage Repair Project

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Redding (City) is proposing the Flood Damage Repair Project in the City of Redding, Shasta County, California. In January 2017, heavy rains and severe flooding caused water to overtop embankments along the Sacramento River and local streams, damaging various parks and trails. The purpose of the project is to repair flood-damaged areas within City park and trail areas so that pre-flood design, function, and capacity (in-kind) is achieved. The project is needed so that pedestrians and bicyclists can continue to use the park and trail areas for recreation purposes. The project is led by the City and has received funding assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA No.

PA-09-CA-4301-PW-00936) to complete the project.

The project consists of twelve work sites, located in four recreational areas: Turtle Bay East, Parkview Park, Blue Gravel Mine Trail, and Enterprise Park. The project will repair seating and viewing areas; as well as trail surfaces, trail embankments, and culverts. Work will include vegetation removal, demolition, excavation, grading, sediment removal, culvert cleaning, erosion repair, culvert installation, and placement of rock slope protection. Work will occur on City property or within easements. Construction is anticipated to take one season and will be completed in the fall of 2023.

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
The Turtle Bay East site is located in the Turtle Bay East Open Space Park, which is bisected by State Route 44 and parallel to Interstate 5. A small area near the project site is zoned Residential, and the remaining areas are designated as Open Space-Specific Plan and Public land use. This area includes a network of paved and unpaved trails that traverse riparian woodland habitats and grasslands.

The Parkview Park site is located at the Parkview Riverfront Park and is situated on the western bank of the Sacramento River. This area is designated as Open Space-Specific Plan land use. Land use surrounding the park is primarily commercial and residential development.

The Blue Gravel Mine Trail is located near the intersection of Placer Street and Buenaventura Boulevard.

Land use in the project vicinity includes Open Space, Residential, Commercial, Public, and transportation corridors. The project area includes paved trail area that traverses through a narrow, undeveloped canyon formed by the Blue Gravel Creek.

The Enterprise Park sites are located on the west side of Enterprise Community Park, near the community garden. Surrounding land use includes residential housing and open fields to the south.

December 2022

FINDINGS AND DETERMINATION
The City of Redding conducted an Initial Study (attached) that determined that the proposed project could have significant environmental effects on biological resources. Implementation of specific mitigation measures identified below will avoid or mitigate the potentially significant environmental effects identified, and the preparation of an environmental impact report will not be required. If there are substantial changes that alter the character or impacts of the proposed project, another environmental impact determination will be necessary.

Prior to approval of the project, the lead agency may conclude, at a public hearing, that certain mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration are infeasible or undesirable. In accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15074.1, the lead agency may delete those mitigation measures and substitute other measures that it determines are equivalent or more effective. The lead agency would adopt written findings that the new measure(s) is(are) equivalent or more effective in mitigating or avoiding potential significant effects and that it would not cause any potentially significant effect on the environment.
1) Based on the whole record (including the Initial Study and any supporting documentation) and the mitigation measures incorporated into the project, the City of Redding has determined that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. 2) The Mitigated Negative Declaration, with its supporting documentation, reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the lead agency, which is the City of Redding.

DOCUMENTATION
The attached Initial Study documents the reasons to support the above determination.

MITIGATION MEASURES
The following mitigation measures will be incorporated into the project to minimize potential effects on biological resources:

MM-1. All areas to be avoided during construction will be fenced and/or flagged as close to construction limits as possible.

MM-2. Worker Environmental Awareness Training will be conducted by a qualified biologist before the start of work to educate crews regarding the location of the elderberry shrubs, life history and listing status of VELB, and the measures necessary to avoid impacts onto the shrub and VELB habitat (USFWS 2017).

MM-3. A qualified biologist will monitor the work area at project-appropriate intervals to assure that all avoidance and minimization measures are implemented.

MM-4. Activities that involve work within the stream channel and activities within 165 feet of the elderberry shrub will be conducted during the lowest flow period and outside of the flight season of VELB. The work period for the Parkview Park is July 1 to October 31.

Packet Pg. 182 Attachment: Mitigated Negative Declaration (4.11(d)--Approval of the Flood Damage Repair Project) City of Redding
Mitigated Negative Declaration Public Works Department, Engineering Division Flood Damage Repair Project Page 3
December 2022
MM-5. All construction personnel will be required to attend an environmental awareness training prior to the start of construction. The training will be conducted by a qualified biologist and will familiarize construction personnel with the special status species that may occur onsite, their habitats, provisions and protections, measures to be implemented, and the project boundaries. The training must be provided within 3 days of the arrival of any new worker.

MM-6. Prior to the onset of construction activities, a qualified biologist will conduct preconstruction surveys for western pond turtle, turtle nests, and foothill yellow-legged frog. If these species or turtle nests are observed during the preconstruction survey or during construction, CDFW will be contacted, and work within that area will be avoided until an appropriate course of action is established. If western pond turtle, turtle nests, or foothill yellow-legged frog are not observed during the preconstruction survey, then construction activities may begin. If construction is delayed or halted for more than 7 days, another preconstruction survey will be conducted.

MM-7. If vegetation removal or construction activities will occur during the nesting season for birds or raptors (February 1 through August 31 for birds and November 1 through July 1 for raptors), a qualified biologist will conduct a preconstruction survey seven (7) days before construction activities begin. If nesting birds or raptors are found, CDFW will be notified and consulted. An appropriate buffer, as determined by CDFW and the qualified biologist, will be placed around the nest until the young have fledged. If construction activities cease for a period greater than 7 days, additional preconstruction surveys will be required.

MM-8. If an active raptor nest is found, no construction activities will occur within 300-feet of the nest for raptors and 450-feet of the nest for special-status raptors unless a smaller buffer zone is approved by the CDFW. Construction may resume once the young have left the nest or as approved by a qualified biologist.

MM-9. If it is determined that tree removal is required, the removal of trees 10 inches DBH or greater with cavities, crevices, or snags shall occur before bat maternity colonies form (i.e., prior to March 1) or after young are volant (i.e., after August 31), to the extent practical. If construction (including the removal of large trees) occurs during the bat non-volant season (March 1 through August 31), a qualified biologist shall conduct a pre-construction survey of the study area to locate maternity colonies. The preconstruction survey will be performed no more than 7 days prior to the implementation of construction activities. If a maternity colony is located within or adjacent to the study area, a disturbance free buffer shall be established by a qualified biologist, in consultation with CDFW, to ensure the colony is protected from project activities. If construction activities cease for a period greater than 7 days, additional preconstruction surveys will be required.

In January 2017, heavy rains and severe flooding caused water to overtop embankments along the Sacramento River and local streams, damaging various parks and trails. The Flood Damage Repair Project (FEMA No. PA-09-CA-4301-PW-00936) entails repair at multiple sites damaged by flooding within the Turtle Bay East, Parkview Park, Blue Gravel Mine Trail, and Enterprise Park areas in Redding, California. The project is led by the City and has received funding assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to complete the project. The purpose of the project is to repair flood-damaged areas within City park and trail areas so that pre-flood design, function, and capacity (in-kind) is achieved. The project is needed so that pedestrians and bicyclists can continue to use the park and trail areas for recreation purposes.

The project would include repair to flood-damaged areas within the following City park and trail areas: Turtle Bay East Open Space Park, Parkview Riverfront Park, Blue Gravel Mine Trail, and Enterprise Community Park. The Turtle Bay East site, located within the Turtle Bay East Open Space Park, includes a network of paved and unpaved trails that traverse open space. The Parkview Park site, within Parkview Riverfront Park, is situated in a park on the western bank of the Sacramento River. The site consists of a pedestrian bridge crossing over Linden Ditch, a tributary to the Sacramento River. The Blue Gravel Mine Trail site is along a paved section of Blue Gravel Mine Trail that traverses through a narrow, undeveloped canyon formed by Blue Gravel Creek (also known as Canyon Hollow Creek). The Enterprise Park site within Enterprise Community Park features a scour area on the alluvial terrace of the creek.

The following work would occur at the Turtle Bay East project sites (A, C, D, E, H, and I):
 Site A: Replace riprap and geotextile fabric around culvert inlet at edge of Portland cement concrete trail.
 Site C: Remove debris and sediment from the inlet, outlet, and inside of clogged culvert pipe; replace riprap basin at outlet.
 Sites D and I: Regrade and resurface portions of existing trails with decomposed granite.  Site E: Remove and replace steel fence and posts.
 Site H: Relocate concrete picnic table to new decomposed granite pad.

The following work would occur at the Parkview Park project site (AA):
 The proposed project would replace grouted riprap under and around the south bridge abutment and wingwalls.

The following work would occur at the Blue Gravel Mine Trail project sites (A, B, C, and D):

 Site A: Remove and replace culverts in concrete spillway/low-water crossing, resurface crossing with asphalt concrete (AC).
 Site B: Replace filter fabric and riprap on eroded AC trail slope.  Site C: Extend pair of existing culverts to bottom of slope; place earth fill and riprap on slope and at culvert outlets.
 Site D: Remove debris and sediment from the inlet, outlet, and inside of clogged culvert; place articulated block basin at inlet.

The following work would occur at the Enterprise Park project sites (3 and 4):
 Site 3: Remove and replace galvanized steel chain-link fence.  Site 4: Replace fill and riprap in eroded embankment. 9) Surrounding Land Uses and Setting:

Turtle Bay East is located in the Turtle Bay East Open Space Park, which is situated in the floodplain of the Sacramento River. The project site is bisected by State Route 44 and parallel to Interstate 5. A small portion, about 0.15 mile to the southeast of the project site, is zoned Residential, and the remaining areas are designated as Open Space-Specific Plan and Public land use. This park includes a network of paved and unpaved trails that traverse riparian woodland habitats and grasslands and a small parking area near the north end of Bechelli Lane.

Parkview Park, located at the Parkview Riverfront Park, is situated on the western bank of the Sacramento River and designated as Open Space-Specific Plan land use. Land use surrounding the park is primarily commercial and residential development. The site consists of a pedestrian bridge that crosses over Linden Ditch, a tributary to the Sacramento River. Streamflow appears to be perennial and subject to backwater flooding from the Sacramento River. The site consists of riparian habitat and has one blue elderberry shrub located at the top of bank.

The Blue Gravel Mine Trail is located near the intersection of Placer Street and Buenaventura Boulevard. Land use in the project vicinity includes Open Space, Residential, Commercial, Public, and transportation corridors. The project area includes paved trail area that traverses through a narrow, undeveloped canyon formed by the Blue Gravel Creek. The Blue Gravel Creek channel is overgrown and poorly defined through much of the canyon.

The Enterprise Park sites are located on the west side of Enterprise Community Park, near the community garden. Surrounding land use includes residential housing and open fields to the south.

The site consists of a scour area on the alluvial terrace of Churn Creek. Vegetation in the scour area consist of primarily non-native, herbaceous species.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
This section analyzes the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed project. The issue areas evaluated in this Initial Study include the following:
 Aesthetics  Land Use and Planning
 Agricultural and Forestry Resources  Mineral Resources  Air Quality  Noise
 Biological Resources  Population and Housing
 Cultural Resources  Public Services
 Energy  Recreation
 Geology and Soils  Transportation/Circulation
 Greenhouse Gas Emissions  Tribal Cultural Resources
 Hazards and Hazardous Materials  Utilities and Service System  Hydrology and Water Quality  Wildfire
The environmental analysis in this section is patterned after the Initial Study Checklist recommended by the State CEQA Guidelines and used by the City of Redding in its environmental review process. For the preliminary environmental assessment undertaken as part of the preparation of this Initial Study, a determination that there is a potential for significant effects indicates the need to more fully analyze the impact of the development and to identify mitigation.

For the evaluation of potential impacts, the questions in the Initial Study Checklist are stated, and an answer is provided according to the analysis undertaken as part of the Initial Study. The analysis considers the long-term, direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of the development. To each question, there are four possible responses:
 No Impact. The development will not have any measurable environmental impact on the environment.
 Less than Significant Impact. The development will have the potential for impacting the environment, although this impact will be below established thresholds that are considered to be significant.
 Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated. The development will have the potential to generate impacts which may be considered as a significant effect on the environment, although mitigation measures or changesto the development’s physical or operational characteristics can reduce these impacts to levels that are less than significant.  Potentially SignificantImpact. The development will have impacts which are considered significant, and additional analysisisrequired to identify mitigation measures that could reduce these impacts to less than significant levels.

Where potential impacts are anticipated to be significant, mitigation measures will be required, so that impacts may be avoided or reduced to insignificant levels.

a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? X b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a State scenic highway?
X
c) In non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that area experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality?
X
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
X
Discussion:
a) No Impact. No features within the project area are designated as a scenic vista, and nothing within the project area could be characterized as a scenic vista (Caltrans 2021). Therefore, there would be no impact.
b) No Impact. No designated state scenic vistas or highways are within or near the project area (Caltrans 2021. Projected project construction activities would not damage scenic resources including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a State scenic highway. Therefore, there would be no impact.
c) No Impact. The project area includes four different sites, each of which is located in an urbanized area. The project would not conflict with applicable zoning or other regulations governing scenic quality (Caltrans 2021). Therefore, there would be no impact. d) No Impact. The project would repair the damaged areas in kind and would not introduce elements that would create a new source of light or glare.

II. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: In determining whether
impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to information compiled by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state’s inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment project; and forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board.

Discussion:
a) No Impact. There is no Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Statewide Importance (Farmland), in the project area (FMMP 2021). Therefore, there would be no impact. b) No Impact. There is no existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act Contract, in the project area (CDC 2021). Therefore, there would be no impact. c) No Impact. The project would not conflict with existing zoning and would not cause the rezoning of forest land or timberland.. Therefore, there would be no impact. d) No Impact. There is no forest land in the project area. Therefore, there would be no impact. e) No Impact. There is no farmland or forest land in the project area. Therefore, there would be no impact.

a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?

b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant forwhich the project region is non-attainment under an applicable Federal or State ambient air quality standard? X
c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? X d) Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people?
X
Discussion:
a) Less than Significant Impact. Project-related construction activities would last several months, and construction emissions impacts would be temporary in nature. Emissions from project construction are anticipated to be minimal due to the limited amount of construction equipment and number of vehicles to be used. Operation of the project would not cause emission increases compared to the existing conditions. The project would be constructed in compliance with the State and the local air district regulations, and best management practices (BMPs) would be implemented to reduce criteria pollutant emissions. Compliance with applicable regulations and implementation of BMPs during project construction would result in less than significant impacts related to air quality. b, c) Less than Significant Impact. The proposed project is within the City of Redding in Shasta County, which is at the northern end of the Northern Sacramento Valley Air Basin (NSVAB). The NSVAB is bounded on the north and west by the Coastal Mountain Range and on the east by the southern portion of the Cascade Mountain Range and the northern portion of the Sierra Nevada range. These mountain ranges form a substantial physical barrier to locally created pollution as well as pollution transported northward on prevailing winds from the Sacramento metropolitan area.

In 1994, the air districts in the Northern Sacramento Valley Planning Area (NSVPA), which includes the Shasta County Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) jurisdiction, prepared an Air Quality Attainment Plan for ozone. This plan was updated in 1997, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2012, and again in 2015. Like the preceding plans, the 2015 plan focuses on the adoption and implementation of control measures for stationary sources, area-wide sources, indirect sources, and public information and education programs. The 2015 plan also addresses the effect that pollutant transport has on NSVPA’s ability to meet and attain the State standards. The Air Quality Attainment Plan provides local guidance for air basins to achieve attainment of ambient air quality standards.

Areas that meet ambient air quality standards are classified as attainment areas, and areas that do not meet these standards are classified as nonattainment areas. Areas for which there is insufficient data available are designated unclassified. The attainment status for the Shasta County portion of the NSVAB is included in the table below. The region is nonattainment for State ozone and PM10 standards.

NAAQS and CAAQS Attainment Status for Shasta County
Criteria Pollutants State Designation Federal Designation Ozone Nonattainment Unclassified/Attainment
Particulate matter less than 10 microns in aerodynamic diameter (PM10) Nonattainment Unclassified Particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5) Attainment Unclassified/Attainment Carbon monoxide (CO) Unclassified Unclassified/Attainment Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) Attainment Unclassified/Attainment Sulfur dioxide (SO2) Attainment Unclassified
Source: California Air Resources Board, 2018, http://www.arb.ca.gov/desig/adm/adm.htm The proposed project has the ability to release air pollutants into the ambient air; therefore, construction activities under the proposed project fall under the ambient air quality standards promulgated at the State and federal levels. The federal Clean AirAct of 1971 and the Clean Air Act Amendments (1977) established the national ambient air qualitystandards (NAAQS), which are promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for criteria pollutants including ozone, CO, NO2, SO2, PM10, PM2.5, and lead. The State of California has also adopted its own California ambient air quality standards (CAAQS), which are promulgated by the California Air Resource Board (CARB). CAAQS include standards for criteria pollutants as well as sulfates, hydrogen sulfide, vinyl chloride, and visibility-reducing particles. These standards are designed to protect the health and welfare of the populace with a reasonable margin of safety. Implementation of the project would occur in the Shasta County portion of the NSVAB, which is under the air quality regulatory jurisdiction of SCAQMD and is subject to the rules and regulations adopted by the air district to achieve the NAAQS and CAAQS.

The project would result in temporary construction emissions of nonattainment pollutants, which include ozone precursors of reactive organic gases (ROG) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and PM10.

Emission thresholds within the City’s General Plan Air Quality Element are based on the SCAQMD thresholds as listed in the table below.

City of Redding and SCAQMD Thresholds of Significance
Threshold Emissions (pounds per day)
NOx ROG PM10
Level A Thresholds 25 25 80
Level B Thresholds 137 137 137
Source: City of Redding General Plan, SCAQMD
Construction of the project would only last approximately 8 months and requires a limited amount of construction equipment and number of vehicles, which would include an excavator, a small crane, and a work trucks. Construction emissions of ROG, NOx, and PM10 are anticipated to be minimal and would not exceed the SCAQMD’s Level A thresholds. There would not be operational emission increases once the project construction is completed. Therefore, the project would not have cumulatively considerable emissions increases; thus, it would have less than significant impacts.

Nevertheless, City standards (implemented through the Grading Ordinance and Uniform Building Code) require implementation of the following conservation measures and best management practices (BMPs) that contribute to achieving the City’s goal of at least a 20 percent reduction in emissions or the best reduction otherwise feasible. The following standard conservation measures and BMPs will be used during construction to limit dust and PM10 emissions:
 AQ-1. Nontoxic soil stabilizers will be applied according to manufacturer’s specification to all inactive construction areas.
 AQ-2. All grading operations will be suspended when winds (as instantaneous gusts) exceed 20 miles per hour.
 AQ-3. Stockpiles, access roads, and disturbed or exposed areas will be watered, as necessary, to prevent airborne dust.
 AQ-4. Pursuant to the California Vehicle Code (Section 23114€4) (California Legislative Information 2016), all trucks hauling soils and other loose material to and from the construction site will be covered or will maintain at least 6 inches of freeboard (i.e., minimum vertical distance between top of load and the trailer).
 AQ-5. All public roadways used by the project contractor will be maintained free from dust, dirt, and debris caused by construction activities. Streets will be swept at the end of the day if visible soil materials are carried onto adjacent public paved roads.

Potential impacts on neighboring homes (sensitive receptors) due to construction-related fugitive dust would be temporary, localized, and minor, and any impact would be less than significant. d) No Impact. The project would not create emissions that could generate objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. Therefore, the project would result in no impact with regard to odor.

Discussion:

A Biological Resources and Habitat Assessment was prepared to assess the impacts of the proposed project on biological resources in the project area and vicinity (Jacobs 2022a). Studies included research, database review, species list review, habitat assessment survey, biological reconnaissance survey, and a delineation of jurisdictional waters. In addition, a Biological Assessment was prepared to assess the impact of the proposed project on endangered species. The project was also reviewed by the FEMA Environmental and Historic Preservation Office (EHP) for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Endangered Species Act.
a) Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The project area supports habitat for several special-status wildlife species, but does not support habitat for any special status plant species.

An environmental review and assessment was conducted by FEMA in 2018 (Cal OES 2018). The project was determined to have no effect on federally listed threatened and endangered species or critical habitat; however, when field reviews were conducted by the City and Jacobs it was determined that one of the four project sites, the Parkview Park site, is located in an area with potential to affect species listed in the federal Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA).

Jacobs has prepared a biological assessment (BA) on behalf of the City to assist in evaluating the potential effects on threatened and endangered species, and their critical habitat, that may occur as a result of the project. The City concurs with FEMA’s determination that the Turtle Bay East, Enterprise Park, and Blue Gravel Mine Trail sites do not have potential to affect ESA-listed species or Packet Pg. 201 Attachment: Mitigated Negative Declaration (4.11(d)--Approval of the Flood Damage Repair Project) City of Redding

designated critical habitat; therefore, the remaining ESA discussion focuses on the Parkview Park site.

Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle – VELB (Desmocerus californicus dimorphus):

The Parkview Park site is situated in a park on the west bank of the Sacramento River in central Redding. Land use surrounding the park is primarily commercial and residential development. The site consists of a pedestrian bridge crossing over Linden Ditch, a small tributary of the Sacramento River. Streamflow appears to be perennial, and the site is subject to backwater flooding from the Sacramento River. The riparian zone is confined to the streambanks; the surrounding area is landscaped and maintained as a park.

Vegetation in the riparian zone consists of California grape (Vitis californica), blackberry (Rubus ursinus and R. armeniacus), willow thickets (Salix spp.), and valley oak (Quercus lobata). There is one blue elderberry (Sambucus nigra ssp. caerulea) shrub at the top of bank. The shrub is located west of the concrete pathway on the south side of the Linden Ditch Bridge. The elderberry shrub at the Parkview Park site is considered to be potential habitat for VELB. However, the shrub is in a park setting and appears isolated from other elderberry shrubs. No exit holes were observed on the shrub, suggesting that it is not likely to be occupied by VELB.

Activities within 165 feet of the elderberry will be limited to surface activity, including equipment transporting filter fabric and riprap down to the work area. Access to the south bank will require equipment operation on the concrete pathway adjacent to the elderberry shrub. The shrub would not require trimming for access. Consistent with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service criteria, the dripline of the shrub will be fenced prior to construction for avoidance and protection. The existing concrete walkway and pad would provide adequate protection to any underlying roots that may extend beyond the dripline of the elderberry shrub.

The initial environmental review was completed by CalOES and FEMA EHP; therefore, consultation with the USFWS for VELB will be conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during the Section 404 permitting process. Based on the BA prepared by Jacobs, the City recommends the following determinations:
• The project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect VELB (Desmocerus californicus dimorphus)
• There will be no effect on designated critical habitat for VELB (Desmocerus californicus dimorphus)
While the project is not anticipated to have direct or indirect effects to the elderberry shrub or result in take of VELB, avoidance and minimization measures from the Framework for Assessing Impacts to the Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle (USFWS 2017) would be implemented. With implementation of mitigation measures (MM) 1 through 4, the project would have a less than significant impact on VELB habitat.

Special Status Fish Species
The following federal and state listed fish species have the potential to occur in or adjacent to the Parkview project area:
• green sturgeon (southern distinct population segment [DPS]; Acipenser medirostris; federally threatened [FT])
Packet Pg. 202 Attachment: Mitigated Negative Declaration (4.11(d)--Approval of the Flood Damage Repair Project) City of Redding
Public Works Department, Engineering Division Initial Study

October 2022
• Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha; federally endangered [FE], state endangered)
• Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha; FT, state threatened) • Central Valley steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss; FT)
The project area is not within critical habitat for these species, but critical habitat does occur in the Sacramento River adjacent to the project. The project area is designated essential fish habitat for Pacific Chinook Salmon, pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Linden Ditch is unlikely to support spawning of salmonids, but non-natal rearing of Chinook salmon and steelhead is possible because the site is subject to backwater flooding from the Sacramento River.

Repair work at this location is limited to in-kind replacement of grouted riprap under and around the bridge abutments. The work area consists of dirt and remnants of the original scour protection riprap.

Water will not be present in the work area during project activities; therefore, direct effects to salmonids and essential fish habitat (EFH) from in-water work or dewatering will not occur.

Moreover, only pedestrian access in dry conditions below the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) of Linden Ditch is anticipated, avoiding adverse effect to EFH or the adjacent designated critical habitat for aquatic species. There is no riparian vegetation beneath the bridge or around the abutments; therefore, riparian vegetation would not be impacted.

The environmental review has been completed by CalOES and FEMA EHP; therefore, consultation with the USFWS for VELB will be conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during the Section 404 permitting process. Based on the BA prepared by Jacobs, the City recommends the following determinations. The project will have no effect to the following species or designated critical habitat for Green sturgeon (southern distinct population segment [DPS]), Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon, Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon, Central Valley steelhead; and the project will have no adverse effect to EFH designated for Pacific Chinook salmon, pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act for Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon, Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon, and Central Valley steelhead.

Although the project is not anticipated to effect anadromous fish species, MM-4 will be implemented to ensure work would occur in dry conditions and water would not be present. With implementation of this measure, the project would have a less than significant impact on anadromous fish species.

In addition, standard conservation measures and BMPs BIO-1 through BIO-8 are incorporated into all projects that require earthwork, equipment use, work near streams, and concrete work near streams.

BIO-1. As required by the City of Redding Stormwater Quality Management and Discharge Control Ordinance, an erosion and sediment control plan (ESCP) or will be prepared to address BMPs that will be used to prevent erosion and sediment loss. The ESCP must also address dust control, spill control, pollution control, waste management, equipment maintenance and fueling, and materials storage within the project site.

BIO-2. Appropriate erosion and sediment control measures (e.g., silt fences, straw wattles) shall be in place prior to the onset of construction activities near jurisdictional waters and in project areas where there is a potential for surface runoff to drain into jurisdictional waters. The measures shall be monitored and maintained until construction activities have ceased.

BIO-3. High visibility fencing, flagging, or markers will be installed along the edges of the work zone near avoided waters and riparian areas. In addition, equipment entry and exit points; and staging, storage, and stockpile areas must be clearly marked prior to the entry of mechanized equipment or vehicles into the construction area.

Packet Pg. 203 Attachment: Mitigated Negative Declaration (4.11(d)--Approval of the Flood Damage Repair Project) City of Redding
Public Works Department, Engineering Division Initial Study Flood Damage Repair Project Page 15
October 2022
BIO-4. The contractor will install the necessary containment structures to control the placement of wet concrete and to prevent it from entering into the channel outside of those structures.

BIO-5. When the contractor is pouring or working with wet concrete there will be a designated monitor to inspect the containment structures and ensure that no concrete or other debris enters into the channel outside of those structures.

BIO-6. No concrete shall be poured within the ordinary high-water mark (OHWM) if the 15-day weather forecast indicates any chance of rain greater than 30 percent.

BIO-7. Concrete washout will occur in a designated and appropriately prepared area setback at least 100 feet from the riparian area.

BIO-8. Poured concrete will be excluded from the wetted channel for a period of 30 days after it is poured. Commercial sealants may be applied to the poured concrete surface where difficulty in excluding water flow for a long period may occur. If sealant is used, water shall be excluded from the site until the sealant is dry.

Foothill Yellow-legged Frog (Rana boylii)
The project could adversely affect foothill yellow-legged frog if individuals were present in the project area during construction. Potential direct effects include harassment, injury, and mortality of individuals due to equipment and vehicle traffic. The species may also be affected if construction activities result in degradation of aquatic habitat and water quality due to erosion and sedimentation, and accidental fuel leaks or spills.

Aquatic habitat in the survey area is not typical of the species breeding habitat, and dispersal through the project area is considered unlikely because of lack of local breeding habitat. However, three occurrences of the species have been reported within a 5-mile radius of the project area, and suitable habitat for foothill yellow-legged frog may exist along the banks of the Sacramento River. With incorporation of MM-5 and MM-6, impacts on foothill yellow-legged frog would be less than significant. In addition, standard conservation measures and BMPs HAZ-1 through HAZ-5 and BIO-1 through BIO-8 are requirements of the project and will further reduce potential impacts.

Western Pond Turtle (Actinemys marmorata): state species of special concern Suitable habitat for western pond turtle exists at the Turtle Bay East and Parkview Park sites. The study area includes suitable basking sites (e.g., woody debris and rocks) and the adjacent upland habitats may be used for nesting.

Direct impacts to this species could include injury or mortality of individual turtles; temporary impediments to dispersal along the stream channel, or the removal of vegetation. Indirect impacts could include potential sedimentation of downstream habitats or the reduction of suitable upland habitat for basking and nesting. While no western pond turtles were found during the biological survey, pre-construction surveys and construction requirements will be used to reduce potentially significant impacts to this species.

With incorporation of MM-5 and MM-6, impacts on western pond turtle would be less than significant. In addition, standard conservation measures and BMPs HAZ-1 through HAZ-5 and BIO-1 through BIO-8 are requirements of the project and will further reduce potential impacts.

Migratory Birds and Raptors
Construction activities would occur during the avian breeding season (generally February through August for birds, and November through July for raptors) and could disturb nesting birds in or adjacent to the project area. Construction-related disturbance could result in the incidental loss of fertile eggs or nestlings, or nest abandonment. Impacts could result from tree removal, noise from construction activities, as well as ground disturbance such as grubbing and grading.

The project activities at Turtle Bay East, Parkview, and Enterprise Park do not require tree removal and large woody vegetation would be retained. Tree removal will be required at one location, the Blue Gravel Mine Trail - Site C. Extending the pair of existing culverts to the bottom of slope will require the removal of three trees that are less than 6-inches diameter at breast height (DBH).

Tree Removal
Location Type of Tree Size of Tree (DBH)
Blue Gravel Mine Trail – Site C Choke Cherry 2-inches
Blue Gravel Mine Trail – Site C Choke Cherry 5-inches
Blue Gravel Mine Trail – Site C Interior Live Oak 5-inches Each project area contains abundant avian nesting and foraging habitat and similarly suitable habitat occurs in the project vicinity. Foraging birds and birds present in, or adjacent to the project area would not be adversely impacted by construction activities due to their high mobility and available habitat outside of the project area. While tree removal is limited, construction activity could also disturb nesting raptors. Due to the proximity to potential nesting habitat, and potential for specialstatus migratory birds and raptors to occur in the project areas, MM-7 and MM-8 will be used to ensure impacts are avoided or minimized by requiring pre-construction surveys and use of protection measures for any potential nests found to occur within the project area. With implementation of these measures, the project would have a less than significant impact on migratory birds and raptors.

Tree-roosting Bats
Potentially suitable habitat is present at all four project sites for tree-roosting bats such as western red bat. Vegetation in the area also provides potential foraging habitat. Western red bats may roost individually or in small groups in the riparian trees. If a tree is removed that contains a western red bat nursery colony, the removal could result in mortality or injury of individuals. Indirect impacts may occur from construction disturbance if a bat with pups is present in or adjacent to the study area.

Significant noise disturbance could result in mothers temporarily or permanently leaving their pups.

The proposed project will not require the removal of trees that provide suitable roosting habitat and due to the ability of individual bats to move away from disturbance, direct impacts on bats are not expected. While no bat roosts were found during the biological surveys, pre-construction surveys and construction requirements will be used to reduce potentially significant impacts to bat species. With incorporation of MM-5 and MM-9, impacts on bat species would be less than significant. b) Less than Significant Impact. Valley foothill riparian is considered a sensitive natural community with the project area; however, construction would occur in previously disturbed areas, as the intended purpose is to restore trail and culvert areas damaged by flooding. While these areas are considered potential riparian habitat, they did not contain riparian vegetation prior to the storm event and most areas lack vegetation at this time. Vegetation that is present primarily consists of opportunistic species such as tree of heaven, poison oak, ruderal grasses. The project does not require the removal of large trees and large woody vegetation would be retained.

The trail, bank, and culvert repair, would result in a permanent loss of 0.03 acre of potential habitat and the temporary loss of 0.12 acre of potential habitat. The impacts would not be considered Packet Pg. 205 Attachment: Mitigated Negative Declaration (4.11(d)--Approval of the Flood Damage Repair Project) City of Redding
Public Works Department, Engineering Division Initial Study Flood Damage Repair Project Page 17
October 2022
significant because the project was designed, and would be constructed, to restore trail areas to preflood function and condition. The project would have a less than significant impact on riparian habitat and sensitive natural communities. Hydroseed with native seed mix will be applied to all disturbed areas.
c) Less than Significant Impact. On July 28 and 29, 2020, Jacobs conducted an aquatic resource (i.e., wetlands and non-wetland waters) delineation for the project. While all project areas are near the Sacramento River or a stream, some of the work sites are in upland areas, some would be exempt from the Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 401 and 404 as a maintenance activity (in-kind repair), and others are exempt as they convey only roadway runoff (NPDES). However, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers would need to issue an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (referred to as an AJD) to disclaim CWA jurisdiction over these aquatic resources.

If the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers determines that all locations and activities do fall under CWA jurisdiction, the project would permanently impact 0.007 acre of ephemeral and intermittent stream, and temporarily impact 0.009 acre of ephemeral and intermittent stream. The project would have no impact to wetlands, and no work would occur in the Sacramento River. In-water construction activities will be conducted during the dry season and in compliance with the work windows in the regulatory permits issued by the CDFW, CVRWQCB, and the U.S. Army Corps. The impact of the project on waters of the United States would be less than significant. Standard conservation measures and BMPs HAZ-1 through HAZ-5 and BIO-1 through BIO-8 are requirements of the project and will further reduce potential impacts.
d) Less than Significant Impact. The proposed trail repair project would not disrupt the habitat connectivity in the project area. Although wildlife may avoid the active construction areas, which are small spot locations, the work sites are located in large open space areas with adjacent habitat area for travel. Construction will be short in duration and would occur during daylight hours when recreational user presence is high and wildlife use is low. The project would not permanently interfere with the movement of native wildlife. Impacts on wildlife migratory and travel corridors would be less than significant.
e) No Impact. There project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources.
f) No Impact. There are no Habitat Conservation Plans, Natural Community Conservation Plans, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan covering the proposed project area.

Therefore, there would be no impact.

Mitigation:

MM-1. All areas to be avoided during construction will be fenced and/or flagged as close to construction limits as possible.

MM-2. Worker Environmental Awareness Training will be conducted by a qualified biologist before the start of work to educate crews regarding the location of the elderberry shrubs, life history and listing status of VELB, and the measures necessary to avoid impacts onto the shrub and VELB habitat (USFWS 2017).

MM-3. A qualified biologist will monitor the work area at project-appropriate intervals to assure that all avoidance and minimization measures are implemented.

MM-4. Activities that involve work within the stream channel and activities within 165 feet of the elderberry shrub will be conducted during the lowest flow period and outside of the flight season of VELB. The work period for the Parkview Park is July 1 to October 31.

MM-5. All construction personnel will be required to attend an environmental awareness training prior to the start of construction. The training will be conducted by a qualified biologist and will familiarize construction personnel with the special status species that may occur onsite, their habitats, provisions and protections, measures to be implemented, and the project boundaries. The training must be provided within 3 days of the arrival of any new worker.

MM-6. Prior to the onset of construction activities, a qualified biologist will conduct preconstruction surveys for western pond turtle, turtle nests, and foothill yellow-legged frog. If these species or turtle nests are observed during the preconstruction survey or during construction, CDFW will be contacted, and work within that area will be avoided until an appropriate course of action is established. If western pond turtle, turtle nests, or foothill yellow-legged frog are not observed during the preconstruction survey, then construction activities may begin. If construction is delayed or halted for more than 7 days, another preconstruction survey will be conducted.

MM-7. If vegetation removal or construction activities will occur during the nesting season for birds or raptors (February 1 through August 31 for birds and November 1 through July 1 for raptors), a qualified biologist will conduct a preconstruction survey seven (7) days before construction activities begin. If nesting birds or raptors are found, CDFW will be notified and consulted. An appropriate buffer, as determined by CDFW and the qualified biologist, will be placed around the nest until the young have fledged. If construction activities cease for a period greater than 7 days, additional preconstruction surveys will be required.

MM-8. If an active raptor nest is found, no construction activities will occur within 300-feet of the nest for raptors and 450-feet of the nest for special-status raptors unless a smaller buffer zone is approved by the CDFW. Construction may resume once the young have left the nest or as approved by a qualified biologist.

MM-9. If it is determined that tree removal is required, the removal of trees 10 inches DBH or greater with cavities, crevices, or snags shall occur before bat maternity colonies form (i.e., prior to March 1) or after young are volant (i.e., after August 31), to the extent practical. If construction (including the removal of large trees) occurs during the bat non-volant season (March 1 through August 31), a qualified biologist shall conduct a pre-construction survey of the study area to locate maternity colonies. The preconstruction survey will be performed no more than 7 days prior to the implementation of construction activities. If a maternity colony is located within or adjacent to the study area, a disturbance free buffer shall be established by a qualified biologist, in consultation with CDFW, to ensure the colony is protected from project activities. If construction activities cease for a period greater than 7 days, additional preconstruction surveys will be required.

Discussion
a) Less than Significant Impact. Background research completed as part of this project included a records search from the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) and a review of properties listed in/as the National Register of Historic Places and California Register of Historical Resources, California Historical Landmarks, and California Points of Historical Interest, or listed in a local register of significant resources. Additionally, the City reviewed records search information and past cultural resources survey and report data. As a result of this review, no previously recorded cultural resources are known to exist within the area of potential effects or within the boundaries of Turtle Bay East, Parkview Park, Blue Gravel Mine Trail, and Enterprise Park. The project would not cause an adverse change in a historical resource; and therefore, the impact would be less than significant.
b, c) Less than Significant Impact. Although the Turtle Bay East and Parkview Park project sites are located near the Sacramento River, which has a relatively high potential for cultural resources, no previously recorded archaeological or prehistoric resources have been identified in the project area.

The project area has been subject to previous disturbances such as the creation of paved and unpaved trailways. Although these efforts did not identify historical or archaeological resources within the project area, the following standard conservation measures are included in every project involving ground disturbance. In the event of an unanticipated discovery, impacts would be less than significant:
 CR-1. If previously unidentified cultural materials are unearthed during construction, it is the City’s policy that work be halted in that area until a qualified archaeologist can assess the significance of the find. Additional archaeological surveys will be needed if the proposed project undertaking limits are extended beyond the present survey APE limits.  CR-2. If human remains are discovered during project activities, all activities in the vicinity of the find will be stopped, and the Shasta County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office will be notified. If the coroner determines that the remains may be those of a Native American, the coroner will contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). Treatment of the remains will be conducted in accordance with further direction of the County Coroner or NAHC, as appropriate.

X
Discussion:
a) Less than Significant Impact. The project would not permanently alter energy use because it would not result in an increase in vehicle travel or an increase in carbon emissions; therefore, direct energy use would involve the short-term use of energy for construction activities. Project construction would primarily consume diesel and gasoline through operation of construction equipment, material deliveries, and debris hauling. Construction is estimated to result in a short-term consumption of energy, representing a small demand on local and regional fuel supplies that would be easily accommodated and would be temporary. The project would not result in an inefficient, wasteful, and unnecessary consumption of energy; therefore, the impact on energy would be less than significant. b) No Impact. The project would not conflict with or obstruct a State or local plan for renewable energy, and no impact would occur.

X
Discussion:
a, c, d)No Impact. The project would not expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including risk of loss, injury, or death involving rupture of a known fault, strong seismic groundshaking, seismic-related ground failure, or landslides. The project is not located within an Alquist Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone.

Landslides usually occur in locations with steep slopes and unstable soils. According to the California Department of Conservation California Geological Survey Seismic Hazards Zonation Program (CDC 2020), the Project area is not within a known area of landslide concern. All four project areas are situated on flat or very gently sloping topography where the potential for slope failure is low. The project would also have no impact related to seismic-related failure, including liquefaction, because the potential is low at these predominantly flat, low-seismicity sites. Design and construction in accordance with California Department of Transportation’s seismic design criteria would ensure that substantial impacts due to seismic forces and displacements are avoided or minimized to the extent feasible. The project is not on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable and would not become unstable as a result of the project. On- or offsite landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse is not anticipated. Therefore, the project would result in no impact.
b) Less than Significant Impact. The purpose of the project is to regrade and restore trails previously damaged by storm events. Layers of topsoil may be removed during construction; however, implementation of standard construction BMPs and an ESCP for sediment and erosion control would minimize the potential for erosion. Ground disturbance for construction access could result in a small amount of soil erosion or loss of topsoil; however, it would not result in substantial erosion or soil loss, and the impact would be less than significant. By following these erosion control plans and BMPs, the project would result in a less than significant impact. e) No Impact. The project would not use septic tanks or an alternative wastewater disposal system on the site. Therefore, the project would have no impact caused by soils incapable of adequately supporting septic systems.

a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment?

b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? X
Discussion:
a) Less than Significant Impact. The primary generators of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United States are electricity generation and transportation. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that nearly 85 percent of the nation’s GHG emissions are composed of CO2. Most CO2 emissions are generated by petroleum consumption associated with transportation and coal consumption, which is in turn associated with electricity generation. The remaining emissions are predominately the result of natural-gas consumption associated with a variety of uses.

For the proposed project, the predominant associated GHG is CO2 temporarily generated by construction vehicle travel to and from the site. CARB has recommended the use of 10,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year (mtCO2-e/yr) as the minimum gas emission threshold in its Climate Change Scoping Plan (approved January 9, 2009, updated May 22, 2014). According to the California Air Pollution Control Officer’s Association, the 10,000 mtCO2-e/yr is equivalent to 550 dwelling units, 400,000 square feet of office use, 120,000 square feet of retail, or 70,000 square feet of supermarket use. Given the scope and nature of the proposed project compared to that of similar projects, emissions from the project would be significantly below the thresholds put forth by CARB, as well as the City’s air quality thresholds. Therefore, the project would not contribute significantly to GHG emissions in the air basin. Additionally, the City and State’s construction standards and BMPs, including AQ-1 through -5 (listed in Section III, Air Quality), would be used during construction to further limit any potential contribution to negative impacts from GHG emissions. The project would have no direct or indirect impact on measurable GHGs in the Redding area. b) No Impact. The project would not conflict with any applicable plans, policies, or regulations adopted to reduce GHG emissions. As noted in “a” above, and in Section III, the project is in conformance with the City’s air quality policies and thresholds, and with State guidelines and regulations, and mitigation measures and BMPs AQ-1 through AQ-5 listed in Section III, Air Quality.
