Introduction
On Tuesday, April 9, 2024 from 3:00 – 4:30 p.m., the City of Sacramento hosted a Stakeholder Focus Group
MeeIng as part of the Truxel Bridge Concept and
Feasibility Study’s public outreach and engagement
process. The meeIng was held at the Stanford SeOlement
Neighborhood Center located at 450 West El Camino
Avenue.
Prior to the stakeholder meeIng, the City hosted an
introductory community meeIng in January 2024 and
launched a follow-up online quesIonnaire in February
2024, which garnered 1,019 responses from the
community about various project elements like the
proposed bridge alignment and cross secIons. The purpose of the April meeIng was to present modified opIons for the bridge cross secIons and mix of uses and gather addiIonal feedback from stakeholder representaIves.
10 RepresentaIves from the following organizaIons aOended the meeIng:
• 350 Sacramento
• Sacramento Area Council of Governments
(SACOG)
• North Natomas Jibe
• The River District
• Environmental Council of Sacramento
(ECOS)
• Save the American River AssociaIon
(SARA)
• Gardenland-Northgate Neighborhood
AssociaIon
• The Sandford SeOlement Center
• Sacramento Area Bike Advocates (SABA)
• Sacramento Transit Advocates and Riders
(STAR)
Project Background
In 2013, the City completed the American River Crossings AlternaIves Study, and the City Council adopted the
vision for a new mulI-modal crossing at Truxel Road as
the recommended alignment. The Truxel Bridge
alignment was recommended and adopted based on its
ability to address limited connecIvity across the lower American River, creaIng a barrier to downtown
Sacramento for communiIes north of the river. The City’s plan for Truxel Bridge will create a more direct connecIon for those walking, biking, taking transit, or driving
between northern Sacramento communiIes and
Sacramento’s urban core. It will also provide beOer

access, improve air quality, increase job opportuniIes, enhance economic development, and reduce emergency
response Imes.
PresentaIon
The meeIng began with a welcome from Gladys Cornell,
Outreach Manager with AIM ConsulIng, who reviewed the
meeIng agenda, introduced the project team, and
provided a recap of the public outreach acIviIes
completed so far as well as the feedback received. Below are some of the key benefits and concerns that the team has heard from the community:
Key Benefits: Key Concerns:
• Encourages alternaIve modes of
travel
• Provides beOer emergency access
• Offers direct, faster access to
downtown
• Avoids I-5 congesIon
• Cut through traffic on Truxel Road
• Safe faciliIes for bikes/peds on bridge
• Environmental impacts to the Lower American
River
• Cost of bridge
Next, Fedolia “Sparky” Harris, Principal Planner and the City’s Project Manager, provided an overview of the
feasibility study, its purpose and background, and some frequently asked quesIons from the community. Below are the FAQs and their acknowledged answers.
• Can the project be built if environmental impacts
are idenIfied?
o Yes, most projects have some level of
environmental impact. These impacts must
be idenIfied, disclosed to the public, and
minimized.
• Can a different bridge locaIon be considered as
one of the alternaIves?
o Aker the need for an American River bridge crossing was idenIfied, the City of Sacramento completed the American River Crossing AlternaIves Study, which idenIfied Truxel Road as the preferred locaIon. The City Council would have to approve revisiIng other bridge locaIons.
Gladys Cornell (center) begins the presenta@on
Sparky Harris (center) provides a project overview
• Will the environmental document require consideraIon of mulIple alternaIves? o At this Ime, it is anIcipated that the project’s CEQA document will be an Environmental Impact Report. The City will be responsible for selecIng feasible project alternaIves that accomplish the project’s objecIves and that also may avoid or substanIally lessen significant environmental effects.
• Can a bridge without cars be considered as one of the alternaIves? o At this Ime, the project addresses the need for a local jurisdicIon mulI-modal crossing of the lower American River that includes vehicle lanes. This has been established in the Sacramento General Plan and recognized in the Metropolitan TransportaIon Plan/Sustainable CommuniIes Strategy 2035, Sacramento Area Council of Governments, 2012.
Following Sparky’s introducIon, Pamela Dalcin-Walling, Project Manager with Dokken Engineering, reviewed the Truxel Bridge horizontal alignment design and proposed cross-secIon opIons.

Stakeholder Feedback
All community feedback from the discussion is below, with the project team members' responses in bold below.
• How long is the span of the bridge?
o Close to 3,000 feet
• Good, I think sharing tracks with Light Rail for a
short amount of Ime is not that bad.
• All opIons only have two lanes (one in each
direcIon) for vehicles?
o Yes.
• As a resident, I appreciate that you’re considering
transit-only lanes. I don’t want to own a car
anymore. I think they’re unsafe and I do want to
bike more. I think the lack of car-free opIons is
unfair to the lowest-income residents. There may be a bias in the feedback you’re gerng from the community. If we conInue with car-inclusive infrastructure, that will not help to miIgate VMT, and climate goals of the City.
Stakeholder discusses cross sec@on op@ons
o We hear you, and to address those, we
try to lower the barriers by making the
quesIonnaire as accessible as possible.
We work with local stakeholder
organizaIons to reach priority
populaIons. We also raise awareness by
holding pop-up workshops in the
community where the community
already gathers.
o In terms of the VMT calculaIons, we are
working on analyses that are anIcipated
to show that making the route to
downtown more direct actually lowers
VMT (VMT per capita).
• It sounds like you would be digging twice.
o We don’t anIcipate digging again when RT is installed, we build the bridge so that transit accommodaIons can be added easily.
• Is there a cost difference based on what type of transit is included on the bridge? o We don’t currently have any cost esImates.
• I heard someone say that this is not consistent with the American Parkway Plan, is that true? o The American River Parkway plan shows a transit/pedestrian/bike-only bridge. We can’t build anything unIl we update that plan to reflect the kind of bridge we want to build. We anIcipate working with the County to amend the Parkway Plan during the environmental phase.
• E-bikes are becoming more popular. Regular bikes and e-bikes creates a deterrent for mixing. The speed differences in an area with pedestrians may be concerning. I do like the idea of having a barrier between bicyclists and pedestrians.
• If there is a rounded lip (elevated bike lane), would it encourage people to drive onto it if they were frustrated? But having a sharp corner could also be dangerous for bicyclists if they fall off. o Do you have a preference for a specific cross secIon? o I think that bikes should be separate from pedestrians. So, an opIon that has bikes on one side to connect to trail. But is separate.
• Could you eliminate one shoulder on OpIon A, and make it narrower? For OpIon A1 – Make it with four-foot shoulders, then the middle lane would be for breakdowns and emergency vehicles. • Upcoming bikeway guidelines are going to say 8-foot minimum either direcIon for cycletracks.
For anywhere, and it’s because of the different types of bikes now. The City is obligated to consider it.
• New vehicle/transit lanes are unacceptable. They are pinch points in the transit system and incur unnecessary slowdowns. In turn, there will be lots of money spent to eventually fix it. That would be true whether it ends up being LRT or BRT/bus. That’s my organizaIon's view.
A:endees discuss the cross sec@ons
• When looking at the different opIons, I would
prefer to have transit and vehicles, because they
have 15-minute headways. I would think sharing
that space is more efficient. I don’t think it’s
acceptable to have walking and biking mixed.
People feel more comfortable when there is a
physical barrier protecIng them. I feel like it may
be beOer to consolidate space.
• The shoulders on OpIon A seem like it’s almost
begging for people to drive up onto them.
• I don’t think I’m on that technical level, but if
there were no cars, some people work late into
the night, work mulIple jobs, and work odd
hours. Using public transportaIon requires Ime
that some people don’t have. Most people will
have their friends or parents drop them off. I like
the idea of public transportaIon, but the reality is that people may not use it. • Caltrans is purng in extra lanes on I-5, does that mean this bridge is not needed? o The short answer is no. They have looked at Truxel bridge as potenIal miIgaIon, but not a replacement for any of the traffic. This bridge has the potenIal to reduce VMT.
The goal is to not increase VMT. They’re supporIve.
o Caltrans has said they would put in auxiliary lanes to the airport. My quesIon is if there are cars on this bridge, would they not have to add lanes on I-5? o The Truxel Bridge is intended to serve people coming from North/South Natomas.
Those improvements on I-5 are intended to serve the whole I-5 corridor. Right now, Truxel Bridge would divert some of the local traffic off I-5. • Because of how transit currently works, it currently gets stuck behind cars most of the Ime. In reality, if we started to eliminate that with new development, some people might take public transit from point A to point B. I get that this is difficult and has been years in the making, but eliminaIng anything to discourage people from driving will help to improve our world for the future.
• If we do have cars and transit sharing, there needs to be strong public educaIon to make sure people know how it will help the community. I used to take the bus downtown, but it’s a different use of your Ime. I like OpIon A the best.
• As we’re looking at the American River Parkway and the two rivers on southern side. You’ll want to make sure there are the smoothest connecIons. I think people walking may also be interested as well. Yes, the difficulty in people looking to travel in a way besides transit is preOy bleak. It’s going to be many years. With any luck, there will be more transformaIon in the mobility network. We need to make sure there is efficient transit travel.
A:endees discuss the cross sec@ons
• As a transportaIon advocate, my prioriIes are walking, biking and transit, so I do support the bridge.
• Because there’s ambiguity about what kind of transit, let’s not overbuild it. I do like the mixed lanes, it creates more flexibility as the opIons evolve. • This project has been going on for over 10 years. We’ve become more climate oriented. By the Ime this thing gets built, it could be another 10 years. Part of me wants to see whether or not we should go back to Council with the future in mind. We know what’s going on with the climate.
Is there a mechanism to revisit that with council, or have some future focus? We’re talking about the present, but this bridge will get built in 10 years Ime. o We have to base our plans on future plans (like General Plan), that already take future projecIons into account. The best they can do is plan for the future based on land use planning, etc.
• We’re thinking about future recommendaIons, and things are being built right now that are using older planning documents or old criteria. I just want to make sure we are considering that. • Right now all the plans exclude car-free conversaIons. The plans are not being funded right now.
We would be funding it in the future.
• If we are giving RT dedicated right of way, that would be easier to sell. As soon as you start mixing uses, RT would lose some of that control.
o RT doesn’t want anything in the middle between transit lanes/space (shoulders/extra lanes). Not saying no emergency access, but just not between. • Could RT communicate with LRT vehicles to keep them off the bridge in case of emergencies? o Yes, but if they are already on the bridge, they would have to stop if there is a car broken down on the shoulder.
Next Steps
Finally, the project team reviewed next steps with the stakeholders. The project team will be taking the stakeholders input and making further versions of the cross secIons for the next community meeIng in Fall 2024.

To Fedolia “Sparky” Harris,
SacRT has been an active partner in the Truxel Bridge conceptual design process guided by Dokken Engineering and the City of Sacramento. The Truxel Bridge project is in the early stages of development requiring more refinement and direction from City Council.
SacRT staff held an internal meeting on August 27th, 2024, to discuss numerous bridge design alternatives and provide comments for the future refinement of those alternatives. Below are highlighted comments, suggestions, clarifications and guidance to the City of Sacramento (originally provided September 6th, 2024) for the Truxel Bridge project:
Alignments:
• An alignment where trains are next to bikes/peds is potentially problematic without a barrier.
• SacRT is concerned about the potential crossover designs as it can increase the risk of train vs car collisions, as well as motorists possibly entering the exclusive railway and being impossible or very difficult to remove.
• Consider modifying the pedestrian crossing design of the future intersection at garden highway to ensure pedestrians only cross on three legs. This would allow the bridge/roadway connection to have less conflicts with light rail turning movements. • The alternatives display long intersections on the bridge, which may have a traffic delay.
CPUC:
• Speeds will be slow through these segments due to curves and may lead to possible train/car collisions concerns.
• CPUC could conceivably raise the same concerns and should be contacted sooner than later in this project development process.
Traffic Study:
• A traffic study has been done to estimate vehicle volumes, but did not include the analysis of intersection delays at the crossovers. The City has confirmed the next phase of project development will conduct more traffic analysis (i.e. the environmental section will examine delay plus the internal circulation of the buildings).
• The clarification of the City traffic division’s involvement in the development of this project would be appreciated.
Safety:
• There was some uncertainty if vertical barriers would exist between transit and bike/ped, in the scenario where the two features are next to one another. Please clarify in the final report.
• There is consensus that if trains are next to bikes/peds, there should be a vertical barrier between them, to prevent bikes/peds from accidentally straying in front of a train. The barrier type and height can be determined in the next phase of review if agreed upon in practice now.
• Please consider determining if there are any documents or studies that can be added to the final product that state center vs side running transit is safer on a shared bridge.
Bus vs Rail Awareness:
• SacRT internally discussed the consequences of rail and overhead not being constructed at the same time as the bridge. Tracks on bridges require electrical isolation and the use of track plinths for fixing the future track elements.
• Track plinths must be incorporated into the deck of the bridge at the time of bridge construction, (i.e. cannot be retrofitted later).
• SacRT asks this Truxel Bridge project team to examine if other bridges in the Country have exposed plinths, but a temporary roadway placed over the plinths for an operable bus service. Currently, a bus running on future or planned rail tracks is not possible without an engineering solution. At a bare minimum, SacRT can assume increased bridge costs due to this information.
• Lastly, footings for future OCS will also require 13-foot-deep footings, and that curved track will require even more footings. Consultant profiles do show a 3-foot width between tracks, presumably for OCS poles, and presumably their design and cost estimates would include those OCS pole footings, because the bridge cannot be retrofitted later. SacRT requests verification with the City and consultant on this aspect of the design.

PRELIMINARY FOUNDATION REPORT
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Preliminary Foundation Report (PFR) presents our preliminary geotechnical conclusions and recommendations for the proposed Truxel Road at American River bridge project located in Sacramento, California. The approximate site location is depicted on the Vicinity Map, Figure 1. The purpose of this report is to generally evaluate subsurface geologic and geotechnical conditions for the proposed bridge and to provide preliminary geotechnical recommendations for use in bridge concept and feasibility study evaluation. Given the preliminary nature of this study, this report should not be relied upon for final project design.
The preliminary recommendations presented herein are based on our review of the existing subsurface and laboratory test data for the project area, preliminary engineering analyses, and our experience with similar soil and geologic conditions. No subsurface investigation was performed as part of our study. The logs of borings, laboratory test results, and logs of test boring (LOTB) sheets used in our review are presented in Appendix A. Preliminary engineering analyses and calculations are presented in Appendix B.
2.0 SCOPE OF WORK
Our scope of work included:
• Reviewing published geologic maps, aerial photographs, preliminary project plans, in-house documents, geotechnical information by Geocon and others, and other literature pertaining to the site to aid in evaluating geologic conditions and hazards that may be present. A list of referenced materials is provided in Section 18 of this report. • Performing a site reconnaissance to review existing site conditions. • Performing preliminary engineering analyses to develop geotechnical design criteria and evaluate existing site conditions.
• Preparing this PFR in general accordance with Caltrans’ Foundation Reports for Bridges (2021).
Truxel Road Bridge
Preliminary Foundation Report
Geocon Project No. S2815-05-01 - 2 - July 31, 2024
3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
3.1 Background and Site Description
The American River and adjacent Garden Highway extend east-west near the project location, with Garden Highway located on the north river levee. The south river levee is topped by a paved pedestrian / bicycle path. The north and south river levees are approximately 2,400 feet apart. The American River directly abuts the south levee and Steelhead Creek (also known as the Natomas East Main Drainage Canal / Arcade Creek) abuts the north levee. Discovery Park and undeveloped riparian floodplain area occupy the area in between. Truxel Road is an arterial connector currently extending north from the Garden Highway beyond Interstate 80 and terminating in the North Natomas area of the City of Sacramento. Approximately 1,500 feet south of the river, Richards Boulevard is an east-west aligned arterial connector extending through the “River District”, a largely commercial / industrial area of Sacramento. Richards Boulevard connects to Jibboom Street and Interstate 5 (I-5) on the west and State Route 160 (SR-160) on the east. There are no other arterial street connectors that cross the American River between I-5 and SR-160 for vehicular traffic and the only option for pedestrian/bicycle traffic in the area is the Jibboom Street bridge, an old local access vehicular bridge east of I-5, or the Sacramento Northern Bikeway, a converted rail bridge east of SR-160.
Land use in the project area is generally residential north of the American River and commercial/industrial with some residential south of the river. Major bodies of water near the proposed bridge site include the American River, Steelhead Creek, an approximately 50-acre pond within the floodplain area north of the American River, and the Sacramento River approximately 4,000 feet west.
3.2 Proposed Structures
The improvements discussed herein are based on preliminary project plans and design loading information provided by Dokken Engineering. Elevations used in this report are based on the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88), which is the datum currently used for the project . The proposed bridge structure will be a 20-span, cast-in-place, prestressed concrete box girder and voided slab bridge. Preliminary bridge details are provided in Table 3.2.

This project is located approximately ½ mile west (downstream) of the proposed bridge alignment with a similar bridge length over the same river and the explorations show generally similar soil conditions as expected at the project location. Explorations from this report are provided for reference only and were not used in our preliminary analysis given the distance from the project alignment, age of the data (1960’s), and lack of laboratory test results.
No ground surface elevation data was stated for Boring D-1 so we assumed an elevation based on the current ground surface profile has been used. Elevations for the CPT soundings are also unknown and were also assumed in a similar manner. Explorations included in the American River Bridge SPGR reference benchmarks that are not shown within the Sacramento City database; the reference datum and elevation adjustment to NAVD 88 for these explorations are unknown.

Laboratory test results are provided in Appendix A.
7.0 GEOTECHNICAL CONDITIONS
7.1 Geology
The site is located within the Great Valley Geomorphic Province of California, more commonly referred to as the Sacramento Valley. The Sacramento Valley is a broad depression bounded by the Sierra Nevada mountain range to the east and the Coast Ranges to the west. The Sacramento Valley has been filled with a thick sequence of sediments derived from weathering of the adjacent mountain ranges resulting in a stratigraphic section of Cretaceous, Tertiary and Quaternary deposits.
The site is located near the central portion of the Sacramento Valley, about midway between the Coast Ranges and the Sierra Nevada mountains. The American River extends approximately east-west through the site and joins the north-south aligned Sacramento River approximate 4,000 feet west/downstream of the bridge site. Alluvial sediments at the site have been deposited primarily during flood stages of the American River, as well as those of the Sacramento River and other minor local watercourses. Past development included constructing earthen levees along the north and south river banks and an embankment supporting Truxel Road extending north from the Garden Highway.
7.2 Surface Conditions
The proposed bridge alignment will cross the existing north and south levees, the American River, and the floodplain area (Steelhead Creek and Discovery Park), meeting up with existing roadways beyond the levees. North of the north levee, the ground surface elevation is at approximate elevation 17 feet with Truxel Road on an ascending embankment that climbs to elevation 40 feet at the top of the levee Truxel Road Bridge
Preliminary Foundation Report
Geocon Project No. S2815-05-01 - 6 - July 31, 2024
where the roadway ends at the intersection with the Garden Highway. South of the Garden Highway, the embankment slope descends to elevation 10 feet at Steelhead Creek. South of the creek, the ground surface elevation gradually climbs from approximate elevation 20 feet to approximate elevation 30 feet at the north bank of the American river approximately 1,700 feet to the south. The north bank of the American River has an approximate 20-foot drop into the river channel. At the south bank of the American River, the levee climbs to an elevation of 40 feet and then descends to approximate elevation 28 feet on the land side. Levee embankment slopes adjacent to the proposed bridge location vary from approximately 2.5:1 to 3:1 based on available topographic mapping. Site drainage occurs via sheet flow in undeveloped areas. There are no significant existing cut or fill areas in the immediate project area, other than the levee and roadway approach embankments.
The waterside levee embankments and the Discovery Park area are heavily vegetated with mature trees, brush, blackberry bushes, and other vegetation. Overhead utilities cross Truxel Road immediately north of the intersection with Garden Highway. High voltage transmission lines parallel Garden Highway approximately 300 feet to the south (south of Steelhead Creek); a tower supporting these lines exists due south of the intersection of Truxel Road and Garden Highway.
7.3 Subsurface Conditions
The following descriptions of subsurface conditions are based on the exploration logs presented in Appendix A and our geotechnical experience in the area. The exploration logs in Appendix A are those that are closest to the project alignment and/or extend the deepest below grade. These explorations were used for our preliminary analysis for this project. We note that most of these explorations are at least 500 feet away from the proposed bridge alignment and soil conditions indicated herein may not be fully representative of the subsurface conditions along the project alignment. Also included in Appendix A are the American River Bridge Log of Test Borings No. 1 through No. 5. These logs are from the I-5 bridge approximately ½ mile west of the proposed bridge alignment and have been included for reference but were not used in our preliminary project analysis due to the large distance from the site, lack of geotechnical laboratory test data, and lack of elevation information.
Soils described in the sections below are generally broken out into four major units:
• Unit 1 Levee/embankment fill
• Unit 2 Recent alluvium, channel deposits, and overbank deposits • Unit 3 Older river channel deposits/alluvium (dense to very dense gravel and sand layer) • Unit 4 Older alluvium
Truxel Road Bridge
Preliminary Foundation Report
Geocon Project No. S2815-05-01 - 7 - July 31, 2024
7.3.1 Levee/Embankment Fill (Unit 1)
The levee/embankment fill (Unit 1) encountered in the 2008 borings by the Department of Water Resources generally consists of dense sand with varied silt content (SP-SM, SM) and stiff to very stiff clay (CL) with varied sand content. This layer extends from the ground surface to approximate elevation 27 feet in Boring WCSBAR_001B and approximate elevation 21 feet in Boring WCSBAR_002M. These borings are located approximately 450 feet east of the proposed bridge alignment.
7.3.2 Alluvium (Units 2 through 4)
Alluvial soils were encountered below the levee embankment fill (Unit 1) in Borings WCSBAR_001B and WCSBAR_002M and from the ground surface (or below minor fill thicknesses associated with roadway or building pad construction) in the remaining explorations. This alluvium can be divided into three units (Units 2 through 4). The borings and CPT soundings used for evaluation are located approximately 450 to 1,800 feet east of the south bridge abutment location with one boring apparently located approximately 200 feet west of the north abutment location (Boring D-1, location assumed based on a somewhat vague description on the boring log).
• Unit 2 (Recent alluvium, channel deposits, and overbank deposits): Unit 2 soils extend from the ground surface or below Unit 1 soils to approximate elevation -26 feet. These soils generally consist of very loose to medium dense poorly-graded sand (SP), poorly-graded sand with silt (SP-SM), silty sand (SM), clayey sand (SC), and low plasticity sandy silt (ML) and soft to stiff silt (ML), elastic silt (MH), and clay (CL). These soils appear to transition from a more granular soil profile to the south to more cohesive soils to the north. These soils, where non-cohesive and below groundwater, are potentially liquefiable during a design level earthquake. These materials are also generally subject to settlement/consolidation under superposed loads. • Unit 3 (Older river channel deposits/alluvium): Unit 3 soils consist of a layer of dense to very dense gravel (GP) / cobble materials with varying amounts of sand and silt. These soils extend to approximate elevation -60 feet in explorations near the south river levee. The Caltrans boring north of the river (Boring D-1) did not penetrate more than a few feet into this unit and the unit thickness is unknown at this location. These soils are competent for support of foundation loads but the gravel and cobble content can make pile driving or drilling for deep foundation elements difficult to perform.
• Unit 4 (Older alluvium): Unit 4 soils underlie Unit 3 materials to the maximum depth explored of approximately 111.5 feet (elevation -91.5 feet) and generally consist of dense to very dense poorly-graded sand (SP), well-graded sand with silt (SW-SM), and silty sand (SM) and hard silt (ML), clayey silt (CL-ML), and clay (CL). These soils are competent for support of foundation loads.
Truxel Road Bridge
Preliminary Foundation Report
Geocon Project No. S2815-05-01 - 8 - July 31, 2024
A similar soil profile was generally indicated in the Caltrans Logs of Test Borings (1960’s) included in the SPGR for the I-5 bridge located approximately ½ mile west of the proposed bridge alignment. While included here for general reference, these borings have not been used for preliminary project analysis.
These logs indicate that a change in Unit 2 soil conditions occurs across the American River floodplain near the north bank of the American River channel, with sandy soils near the active river channel transitioning to clayey soils to the north. Based on geologic mapping, we expect a more varied transition at the proposed bridge location due to mapped river meanders. Unit 3 gravel/cobbles zones are indicated to be somewhat variable in elevation and thickness along this alignment (indicated elevation of first encounter ranges from -20 feet to -30 feet and bottom of these layers varies from -33 feet to - 75 feet [or lower], with interbedded zones of clay, silt, and sand). Similar variation may be encountered along the project alignment. We note that the elevations indicated within this paragraph are based on a currently unknown/possibly local datum and not on the project datum (NAVD 88).
7.4 Pertinent Soil Conditions or Geologic Hazards
The following sections discuss other potential geologic hazards evaluated for the project including landslides, embankment failures, ground subsidence, expansive soils, and collapsible soils.
7.4.1 Landslides
No landslides were observed during our site investigation. Other than bank loss due to scour, landslides or similar slope failures are not a hazard for the site.
7.4.2 Embankment Failures
No embankment failures were observed during our site investigation. The site and vicinity are generally flat and level. Slopes of existing levees/embankments in the project area appear to be performing well without overt indications of significant failures. Other than the existing levees and the Truxel Road approach embankment to Garden Highway, there are no significant embankment slopes on or adjacent to the site.
7.4.3 Ground Subsidence
Ground subsidence is a regional phenomenon that occurs where underlying loose geologic units undergo a densification process. Subsidence can result from the extraction of mineral resources and/or groundwater, as well as the rapid settlement induced by seismic activity. There is potential for ground subsidence in Unit 2 soils due to liquefaction-induced ground settlement, particularly along the southern portion of the project alignment. Given the proximity of the American and Sacramento Rivers, regional ground subsidence due to groundwater withdrawal is not anticipated.
Truxel Road Bridge
Preliminary Foundation Report
Geocon Project No. S2815-05-01 - 9 - July 31, 2024
7.4.4 Expansive Soils
Expansive soils possess a high swelling or shrinking potential due to change in moisture content. The common materials associated with high expansion potential are clays. The majority of the near surface onsite soil is silt and sand, with some low-plasticity clays noted within the borings that penetrate the levee embankment. Proposed foundations will be supported below a depth where significant moisture variation is expected. Thus, expansive soils are not a consideration for bridge foundation design or new roadway approach embankments.
7.4.5 Collapsible Soils
Collapsible soils are unsaturated soils that undergo a large volume change upon saturation, even without increase in external loads. Soils that generally display collapsible potential are porous and have a low dry density. No porous or honeycomb structure was noted within the reviewed boring logs. Bridge foundations will penetrate through less competent and potentially liquefiable Unit 2 soils to bear within Unit 3 and possibly Unit 4 soils. Thus, the potential for collapsible soils are not a consideration for foundation design.
8.0 GROUNDWATER
Where recorded, previous explorations encountered groundwater at depths ranging from approximately 13.7 to 35.1 feet (elevation -5.0 to 6.1 feet). Table 8.0 summarizes the groundwater encounters, including the dates encountered, approximate depths, and elevations. Top of exploration elevations are estimated/assumed based on available data for several explorations; actual exploration and groundwater elevations may vary at these locations.

Groundwater elevations from the online SGMA Data Viewer maintained by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) shows a groundwater elevation at the project site of approximately -10 feet for Spring 2023, the most recent interval provided. The above DWR elevation is in NAVD 88, which is consistent with the project datum.
Caltrans used a design groundwater elevation of 23 feet in their 2020 SPGR for the proposed I-5 bridge widening approximately ½ mile downstream (west) of the project alignment. This elevation is also in NAVD 88.
Given the above, a design groundwater elevation of 23 feet was used for our preliminary analysis based on the controlling design groundwater elevation recommended by Caltrans near this project location.
Fluctuations of groundwater levels may occur due to variations in precipitation, temperature, and other factors. Depth to groundwater can also vary significantly due to localized pumping, irrigation practices, and seasonal fluctuations. Therefore, it is possible that future groundwater may be higher or lower than the levels observed during the referenced investigations.
9.0 AS-BUILT DATA
There is no existing bridge structure at the proposed project location. The As-Built plans indicate the I-5 bridges to the west are supported by driven 45-ton piles. These piles are indicated to consist of a combination of Alternative “Z” Raymond Step Taper piles (both 12-inch and 15-inch diameters at the top of pile) and 14BP117 steel H-piles. Additional details on the pile types and locations used, installed lengths, and construction difficulties are available in the Caltrans report for this structure (2020).
10.0 SCOUR DATA
The proposed bridge will span the American River and Steelhead Creek. No scour information is available in the I-5 bridge SPGR. A Caltrans Foundation Report (FR, 2022) for the American River Bridge for State Route 51 (Business 80) approximately three miles east (upstream) of the project site indicates that long term scour is to be anticipated only within the active river channel (no depth provided) and local scour between approximately 4 to 18 feet may be expected at all pier support locations.
A preliminary hydraulics memo has been prepared for this project (Dokken Engineering, July 2024).
According to the memo, with design peak flow “some bed scour may occur that may not be replenished as the upstream in-channel stored sediments are slowly being depleted.” Also, the bridge foundations are anticipated to be designed below scour depths and local scour at support locations/levee embankment slopes will be mitigated by use of rip-rap boulders and armoring.
Truxel Road Bridge
Preliminary Foundation Report
Geocon Project No. S2815-05-01 - 11 - July 31, 2024
Preliminary scour estimates for this project provided by Dokken Engineering indicate between 2 and 5 feet of total scour are anticipated at pier locations. The results of a detailed hydraulics analysis will need to be considered and incorporated into the future Foundation Report (FR) for the project.
11.0 CORROSION EVALUATION
No soil corrosivity testing has been performed as part of the existing geotechnical evaluations reviewed near this project site. Soil corrosion potential testing will be performed as part of the geotechnical investigation for final project design and presented in the project FR.
12.0 SEISMIC INFORMATION
12.1 Ground Motion Hazard
The design response spectrum for the Safety Evaluation Earthquake (SEE), as specified in Caltrans Seismic Design Criteria with October 2019 interim revisions (v2.0), is the probabilistic response spectrum representing the horizontal ground motion at the site with a 5% probability of exceedance in 50 years (return period of 975 years). The United States Geological Survey (USGS) 2014 National Seismic Hazard Map is used as the basis to determine the design Acceleration Response Spectrum (ARS). The preliminary ARS for the site was estimated using Caltrans’ ARS Online web tool (V3.1.0, accessed June 11, 2024).
Table 12.1 summarizes the site-specific information used for the analysis and the ARS Online results.

The bridge is not located within a deep sedimentary basin per Caltrans ARS Online. Based on the subsurface materials encountered during previous referenced investigations nearby, the site is anticipated to be generally underlain by soft to stiff and loose to very dense alluvial soils, which most Truxel Road Bridge

closely reflects a Caltrans Soil Profile Type D. The shear wave velocity, VS30, was calculated using an average of the shear wave correlations obtained from the four Geocon CPTsreferenced for project design in which shear wave velocity measurements were obtained (CPT-1, CPT-5, CPT2020-1, and CPT2020-2).
The preliminary recommended design response spectrum for the proposed replacement bridge is presented as Figure 3 (Preliminary Recommended Design Response Spectrum).
12.2 Other Seismic Hazards
12.2.1 Surface Fault Rupture
The site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone as established by the State Geologist around known active faults. Local field reconnaissance revealed no indications of an active fault trace at the site. Review of available literature indicates there are no active fault traces within 1,000 feet of the project location. The USGS maps the nearest active fault as the Hunting CreekBerryessa fault system located over 40 miles west of the project location. Given the above, no fault rupture hazard analysis is required for this project.
12.2.2 Liquefaction and Seismic-Induced Ground Surface Settlements Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which saturated cohesionless soils are subject to a temporary loss of shear strength due to pore pressure buildup under the cyclic shear stresses associated with intense earthquakes. Primary factors that trigger liquefaction are moderate to strong ground shaking (seismic source), the presence of relatively clean, loose granular soils (primarily poorly graded sands and silty sands), and saturated soil conditions (shallow groundwater).
The site is not located in a currently established State of California Seismic Hazard Zone for liquefaction.
However, soil and groundwater conditions exist near the site that may be susceptible to seismic-induced liquefaction and the Soil Site Class is designated as S2 per the current Caltrans Seismic Design Criteria guidance. We preliminarily evaluated liquefaction potential using both the measured parameters in the referenced CPT soundings and the SPT blow counts measured in the referenced borings. The CPT-based analysis was performed using the CLiq software program (v. 2.2.0.37 by GeoLogismiki) following the Youd, et. al (2001) analysis method. The SPT-based analysis was performed following Youd, et. al (2001) per the Caltrans Geotechnical Manual, Liquefaction Evaluation module (Caltrans 2020). A peak ground acceleration (PGA) of 0.26g developed using ARS online (see Section 12.1) was used in liquefaction analysis per Caltrans guidelines. We used a design groundwater elevation of 23 feet.
Truxel Road Bridge
Preliminary Foundation Report
Geocon Project No. S2815-05-01 - 13 - July 31, 2024
We estimated post-liquefaction settlement under the PGA ground motions using the CLiq software following the methodology of Zhang, et. al (2002) for the CPT-based analysis and the methodology of Boulanger and Idriss (2008) for the SPT-based analysis. For the borings, we excluded soil layers that had relative densities of “dense” or “very dense” based on N60 blow counts (Caltrans Geotechnical Manual, Liquefaction Evaluation) or the (N1)60 blow count was greater than 25 (AASHTO LRFD BDS).
A summary of our preliminary liquefaction analysis is included in Appendix B. Table 12.2.2 summarizes the results of the analyses.

D-1 No liquefaction
WCSBAR_001B No liquefaction
WCSBAR_002M No field blow counts or soil laboratory data for liquefaction analysis Based on our preliminary evaluation, several soil layers near the southern portion of the bridge alignment between elevation -27.5 to 20 feet are considered potentially liquefiable as a result of the design-level (PGA) earthquake ground motion; however, Boring WCSBAR_001B does not appear to have potentially liquefiable zones. This may be due to previous levee improvements performed in the location of that test boring, natural variation in geologic depositions, differences in sampling equipment/methods, or other reasons. The only nearby exploration we have to reference north of the American River channel is Boring D-1, which indicates that potentially liquefiable soils are not present near the northern end of the bridge alignment. Based on the CPT data, the thickness of these soil layers are variable and up to about 30 feet thick. Our CPT- and SPT-based analyses indicates that post-liquefaction vertical ground settlements of up to approximately 17 inches may occur; however, CPT-based analyses are typically preferred to SPT-based analyses. The average estimated liquefaction-induced settlement from CPT-based analyses is approximately 6 inches. It is typical geotechnical practice to assume that the magnitude of differential liquefaction settlement is approximately one-half of the estimated total liquefaction settlement.
Truxel Road Bridge
Preliminary Foundation Report
Geocon Project No. S2815-05-01 - 14 - July 31, 2024
Another secondary effect of liquefaction is the potential for liquefaction-induced sand boils or ground loss. In this case, pore water pressure induced within liquefied strata exerts significant upward forces and results in ejecta of the liquefied soil at the ground surface. Sand boils/ground loss may be resisted by a “capping layer” of non-liquefiable soil. At this site, there is not a sufficiently thick, non-liquefiable soil layer overlying the potentially liquefiable layers within the channel. Therefore, there is a potential for localized ground loss due to sand boils at the site.
Given the above, we anticipate that strong ground shaking due to a seismic event would likely cause liquefaction of some soil layers at/near the proposed bridge location resulting in ground surface settlement (subsidence) and potentially localized ground loss within the channel due to sand boils, particularly along the southern portion of the bridge alignment. We considered these conditions in developing preliminary recommendations for foundation design. Since sand boils may occur, the postliquefaction vertical settlements at the pier locations presented herein should be considered minimum, lower-bound estimates as sand boils can result in additional, unquantifiable ground loss.
Each bridge support location will be supported on deep foundation elements that extend below the liquefiable soil to bear within Unit 3 and Unit 4 materials. The effects of liquefaction have been considered in the preliminary foundation design. Per Caltrans design guidelines, abutments are not designed for Extreme Limit State axial loading conditions. However, the piles for the abutments should extend through Unit 1 and Unit 2 soils to bear within more competent, underlying materials.
12.2.3 Pile Downdrag
Piles at the pier and abutment locations will extend through any potentially-liquefiable soil layers to bear within competent underlying soils. Per Caltrans design guidelines abutments are not designed for Extreme Limit State loading conditions (including liquefaction).
Based on the existing ground profile data and preliminary pile loading conditions provided by Dokken Engineering, we have performed preliminary liquefaction-induced downdrag analysis for a typical pile at Piers 9-20 using the guidance provided in the Caltrans Geotechnical Manual, Liquefaction-Induced Downdrag module (January 2020), which relies on the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specification with California Amendments (April 2019), Caltrans Memo to Designers 3-1, Deep Foundations (June 2014), and the various modules of the Caltrans Geotechnical Manual (latest versions). The piles at these support locations share the highest pile loads and would also likely experience the most downdrag if they are penetrating potentially liquefiable soils. A spreadsheet documenting the preliminary liquefaction-induced downdrag analyses performed for the Extreme Limit State loading conditions following these document guidelines is included in Appendix B. Table 12.2.3 summarizes the results of the analyses.

12.2.4 Lateral Spreading Potential
Since there appears to be a potential for seismic-induced liquefaction, the possibility of lateral spreading during a liquefaction event should be considered. Lateral spread potential should be evaluated as part of the analysis for the design FR after a site-specific field investigation is completed and updated topographic and cross-section information is available for the project.
12.2.5 Seismic Slope Stability
Given the limited project information at this time, slope stability modeling has not been performed as part of this preliminary study. Slope stability should be evaluated as part of the analysis for the design FR after a site-specific field investigation is completed and updated project details and topographic/cross-section information is available for the project.
12.2.6 Tsunami Risk
Tsunamis are large sea waves caused by submarine earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions. Per Caltrans Memo to Designers 20-13, a tsunami hazard is significantly reduced for projects located greater than ½ mile from the coast or at elevations greater than 40 feet. The proposed bridge is located approximately 40 miles inland from the nearest large bay (Suisun Bay) connected to the Pacific Ocean.
Sacramento County does not have a California Official Tsunami Inundation Map. Based on the above information and per MTD 20-13, a tsunami hazard does not exist at the site.
13.0 PRELIMINARY GEOTECHNICAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The following preliminary recommendations are for the Truxel Road Bridge as shown on the referenced General Plan (undated) by Dokken Engineering. These recommendations are based on select existing subsurface information data in the general project area and are provided solely for the project feasibility study (not for construction).
Truxel Road Bridge
Preliminary Foundation Report
Geocon Project No. S2815-05-01 - 16 - July 31, 2024
13.1 Deep Foundations
Based on the anticipated structural loading, reported soft to stiff/very loose to medium dense nearsurface soil conditions in the previous investigations near the project location, estimated liquefaction ground settlements, the potential for ground loss due to sand boils, and the anticipated scour conditions at the site, shallow foundations are not considered suitable and the proposed bridge will require deep foundations for support. The deep foundations will penetrate through the relatively soft/liquefiable soil to bear within the underlying hard/dense, non-liquefiable materials.
Based on the subsurface conditions at the proposed bridge location and the design loading requirements, the structure may be supported by large diameter cast-in-drilled-hole (CIDH) concrete piles at the pier locations and Caltrans Class 200 driven piles at Abutments (24-inch diameter steel pipe piles driven open-ended). Given the anticipated thickness of potentially liquefiable soils at the pier foundation locations (approximately 30-foot depth below bottom of pile cap), potential loss of lateral support asthe result of a liquefaction event, and limited penetration anticipated during driving into the underlying dense gravel soils, Class 200 driven piles are not considered a feasible foundation option at the pier locations from a geotechnical perspective. Class 200 driven piles are only considered potentially feasible at the abutment locations because Extreme Limit State loading conditions are not considered for abutment design; however, detailed slope stability and lateral pile analysis will be required to confirm their use is acceptable for this project. Although not analyzed as part of this preliminary study, larger diameter cast-in-steel-shell (CISS) piles may also be suitable for the project at both abutment and pier locations.
Due to the presence of the granular soil and groundwater, temporary casing and/or wet construction methods will be required during CIDH concrete pile installation.
According to current Caltrans guidelines, preliminary foundation designs for abutments and bents were analyzed using the latest American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Bridge Design Specifications (BSD) with Caltrans Amendments methodology. We used the APILE and SHAFT software programs which incorporate the α method for clays and β method for sands per FHWA guidelines. For the piers, the piles are assumed to act individually given the single row of piles at each support location. As abutment piles are anticipated to be tipped into dense to a thick layer of dense to very dense granular materials and the pile capacity is generated predominantly through end-bearing, Caltrans does not require settlement analysis to be performed and settlement of abutment pile foundations was not analyzed for this preliminary study.
Preliminary foundation recommendations are provided herein.

Seismic-induced soil liquefaction may cause settlement of the liquefiable and overlying soil layers. For the pile foundations, the movement may influence the axial load distribution in the piles, including negative skin friction/downdrag. Pile design presented herein incorporates the recommendations of the Liquefaction-Induced Downdrag module of the Caltrans Geotechnical Manual.
Pier pile foundations will penetrate through overlying potentially liquefiable soils to bear within dense to very dense and very stiff to hard alluvial soil. Per Caltrans design guidelines, abutment piles are not designed for Extreme Limit State loading conditions.
Preliminary design pile tip elevations for the piers shown below have been lowered by two feet below the controlling design tip elevation to account for the bottom portion of the pile that cannot be tested using gamma-gamma testing (untested concrete zone) per the recommendations of the Caltrans Castin-Drilled-Hole (CIDH) Pile Foundations module.
CIDH concrete piles will develop their support from side frictional resistance for the Service and Strength Limit States and from both side frictional resistance and end bearing for the Extreme Limit State. Tables 13.1A through 13.1C summarize the preliminary foundation design loads and recommended tip elevations. Calculations are presented in Appendix B. The pile tip elevations for the piers extend below the limits of the previous geotechnical investigations at the site and we assume similar soil conditions extend to the depths of the proposed pile tips.

Truxel Road Bridge
Preliminary Foundation Report
Geocon Project No. S2815-05-01 - 19 - July 31, 2024
Settlement of piles imposing the design axial load is expected to be less than ½ inch. Settlements should be essentially complete shortly after completion of the bridge superstructure.
Lateral pile analysis will be performed by the structural engineer. Soil parameters for lateral pile analysis will be provided in the FR following our field investigation and laboratory testing for this project.
13.1.1 Special Considerations for Driven Piles
Driven piles should be constructed in accordance with the requirements of Caltrans Standard Specifications Section 49-2.
Due to the presence of hard/very dense soil layers, difficult driving conditions may be encountered prior to reaching the specified tip elevations. The contractor should have all equipment available onsite to install the piles to the design tip elevation. For this project, jetting or vibrating of piles is not an allowable method of pile installation.
13.1.2 Driven Pile Acceptance Criteria
The contractor should prepare and submit a complete Driving System Submittal per Caltrans’ Standard Specifications Section 49-2.01A(3)(b) prior to construction.
Static or dynamic pile load testing to evaluate driven pile axial capacity is not considered necessary.
Driven pile acceptance criteria should be based on the criteria set forth in Section 49-2.01A(4)(c) of Caltrans’ Standard Specifications. The piles must be driven to at least nominal driving resistance and specified tip elevations shown on project plans. Specifically, within the last foot of pile driving, a formula correlating the installation hammer blows and manufacturer’s hammer energy rating to the nominal driving resistance is required for driven pile field acceptance.
Piles that demonstrate “refusal” as much as 3 feet above specified tip elevation may be accepted without review/consultation. Acceptance of piles meeting formula bearing at levels higher than this should be made only on the basis of specific review by Geocon. Driving “refusal” can be defined as piles achieving 1½ times the nominal resistance in compression.
Piles that do not attain the required nominal driving resistance at the specified tip may be considered acceptable with formula bearing on redrive after a minimum 24-hour “set period.” Depending on the soil conditions at the pile location, a longer set period may result in a higher driving resistance during redrive. If there is more than one “soft” pile, then Geocon will designate which pile(s) is/are to be redriven. Do not use a cold hammer for redriving.
Truxel Road Bridge
Preliminary Foundation Report
Geocon Project No. S2815-05-01 - 20 - July 31, 2024
If the nominal driving resistance is attained for the pile designated to be redriven, the remaining piles in that footing are considered satisfactory and further driving will not be required. If redriving the designated pile demonstrates that the nominal driving resistance has not been attained, redrive all “soft” piles in the footing until the nominal driving resistance is attained.
13.1.3 Special Considerations for CIDH Concrete Piles
Pile construction should conform to the requirements of Caltrans’ Standard Specifications Section 49, including the preparation and submittal of a complete Pile Installation Plan per Section 49-3.02A(3)(b) by the contractor prior to construction.
Groundwater/seepage will be encountered within the foundation construction depths. Zones of gravel and cobbles have been noted in Unit 3 soils (Section 7.3.2) and may be present in other soil units. CIDH concrete pile installation will require using the wet construction methods (including the installation of PVC inspection pipes for acceptance testing) and the use of temporary casing will be required. Wet construction methods may require concrete placement under slurry. The contractor should review subsurface conditions and select the appropriate wet construction methods. Geocon should be contacted if permanent casing is proposed, since the geotechnical capacity may be affected.
The standard specification that allows the contractor to revise specified pile tip elevations is intended for driven piles only. Tip elevation revision is not allowed for drilled shafts. An engineered length for skin friction resistance primarily controls the specified CIDH pile depth, and the drilling process has no inherent measurement (analogous to blow count) to verify the resistance.
A Geocon representative should observe all CIDH pile excavations prior to placing reinforcing steel or concrete. If unanticipated soil conditions are encountered, foundation modifications may be required.
13.2 Retaining Walls/Wingwalls
Table 13.2 summarizes our preliminary lateral earth pressure recommendations in terms of equivalent fluid pressure (EFP) for design.
TABLE 13.2
PRELIMINARY LATERAL EARTH PRESSURES
Condition Equivalent Fluid Density
Active 35 pcf
At-rest 55 pcf
Seismic Increment 10 pcf
Note: pcf = pounds per cubic foot
Truxel Road Bridge
Preliminary Foundation Report
Geocon Project No. S2815-05-01 - 21 - July 31, 2024
Unrestrained walls should be designed using the active case. Unrestrained walls are those that are allowed to rotate more than 0.001H (where H is the height of the wall). Walls restrained from movement should be designed using the at-rest case. The above soil pressures assume level backfill under drained conditions within an area bounded by the wall and a 1:1 plane extending upward from the base of the wall.
To resist lateral movement of retaining wall foundations, a passive earth pressure equivalent to a fluid density of 350 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) may be used for footings or shear keys poured neat against properly compacted engineered fill soils or undisturbed natural soil. This passive pressure is based on the assumption that a horizontal surface extends at least 5 feet or three times the depth of the footing or shear key, whichever is greater, beyond the face of the retaining wall foundation. If sloping ground is present in front of footings, a reduced passive resistance will apply. We should be contacted if this condition exists. A friction coefficient of 0.35 may be used for resistance to sliding between soil and concrete. Combined passive resistance and friction may be utilized for design provided that the passive resistance is reduced by 50%.
Backfill soil placed behind walls and wing walls should be primarily granular in nature and conform to Caltrans requirements for structure backfill (Standard Specifications Section 19-3.02). All structure backfill should be compacted to 95 percent of the maximum density as determined by CTM 216.
Walls should have a back-drainage system similar to Caltrans’ Revised Standard Plan RSP B0-3, Bridge Detail 3-1 or an approved geocomposite chimney type drain material. The back-drainage system should provide positive drainage to daylight and be maintained such that it does not clog with debris and allow a buildup of hydrostatic pressure.
13.3 Embankment and Approach Fill Earthwork
From a geotechnical perspective, embankments and fill slopes may be constructed at inclinations of 2:1 or flatter. Embankments constructed in accordance with Caltrans requirements should possess adequate factor of safety against slope instability. Consideration should be given to the use of slope paving, rip-rap, or other surface treatments to minimize surficial erosion until adequate erosion-resistant vegetation can become established. All roadway drainage should be directed to appropriate collection and discharge facilities to prevent run-off from flowing over the tops of slopes.
Based on the field explorations and experience in the area, soil generated from onsite and local excavations are likely suitable for use as embankment and general fill. However, some screening and selection may be required depending on excavation location and intended use. For example, retaining wall (structure) backfill may require the use of primarily granular (sandy) soil rather than silty or clayey Truxel Road Bridge
Preliminary Foundation Report
Geocon Project No. S2815-05-01 - 22 - July 31, 2024
soil. Similarly, select, low-expansive soil may be required within specific portions of the bridge approach embankments, near the abutments. All grading should be performed in conformance with Section 19 of Caltrans’ Standard Specifications or equivalent.
Backfill placed within the full width of the embankment and within 150 feet of the abutment is considered structure backfill. All structure backfill should be compacted to 95 percent of the maximum density as determined by ASTM D1557. All compaction on the project should be based on this test method. All other backfill should be compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction.
Structural fill should be compacted in horizontal lifts not exceeding 8 inches (loose thickness) and brought to final design elevations. Each lift should be moisture-conditioned and compacted. New fill should be benched into existing embankment fill as the fill is placed. Benches should extend at least 3 feet laterally into the existing embankment fill.
New embankments and roadway areas will be supported on primarily very loose to medium dense granular soils and/or soft to stiff cohesive soils that will experience settlement as fill is placed. Minor surface settlement may occur primarily as a result of compression within the new fill itself. Settlement magnitudes and time durations will need to be estimated once a site-specific field investigation and laboratory testing program is performed. Per Caltrans (1959), consolidation tests indicate that clayey silt soils may consolidate up to 2 feet with up to 30 feet of few fill embankment construction; however, no settlement duration was provided. New fill should be placed as soon as practical to allow settlement to occur prior to construction of overlying pavement sections.
13.3.1 Materials for Fill
Excavated soil generated from cut operations at the site are suitable for use as general fill in structural areas provided they are examined and selectively placed during grading in accordance with the following recommendations:
• Deleterious material, material with greater than 3% organics, and debris should be exported from the site and not incorporated into structural fill. We anticipate limited quantities of these materials (primarily organics).
• Backfill placed behind retaining walls should consist of “structure backfill” meeting Section 19-3.02B of Caltrans’ Standard Specifications. In addition to the criteria shown in Section 19-3.02B, structure backfill should have a “very low” to “low” expansion potential (Expansion Index of 50 or less), a Liquid Limit less than 50, and a Plasticity Index of 15 or less.
Truxel Road Bridge
Preliminary Foundation Report
Geocon Project No. S2815-05-01 - 23 - July 31, 2024
• Import fill material should be primarily granular with a “very low” to “low” expansion potential (Expansion Index less than 50), a Liquid Limit less than 50, Plasticity Index of 15 or less, be free of organic material and construction debris, and not contain rock larger than 6 inches in greatest dimension.
• Environmental characteristics and corrosion potential of import soil materials should also be considered. Proposed import materials should be sampled, tested, and approved by Geocon prior to its transportation to the site.
13.3.2 Fill Area Preparation and Fill Placement
Areas to be developed should be cleared and stripped of existing structures/pavements, obstructions, trees, bushes, grass, roots, and the upper few inches of soil containing organic debris. Soils/organics removed by stripping can be transported offsite or stockpiled for use in landscaping. Existing drainage and utility lines or other existing subsurface structures that are not to be utilized, if any, should be removed, destroyed or abandoned in compliance with applicable regulations.
In general, all loose, soft, or wet surficial soil in the areas planned to receive new improvements or fill materials should be removed to expose competent materials. The actual removal depth is dependent upon the depth to competent materials.
All earthwork, grading, and engineered fill placement and relative compaction testing for new fill should conform per Caltrans’ Standard Specifications, Section 19. New embankment fill placed on sloping ground and adjacent to existing embankments/slopes should be keyed and benched in accordance with Caltrans’ Standard Specifications. Ponding or jetting of backfill should not be permitted.
14.0 GENERAL NOTES TO DESIGNER
This preliminary report has been prepared for project planning purposes only. Site-specific subsurface investigation and geotechnical laboratory testing will be required for project design. This report is prepared based on the currently available project information including the proposed structures and foundations described herein. Geocon must be contacted for review and possible revised recommendations if the proposed structures and foundations are changed.

15.0 CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
15.1 Construction Advisories
Traffic control with roadway, lane, and shoulder closures and detours are anticipated during construction. In addition, there are overhead and underground utilities along or near the proposed bridge alignment. The Contractor should verify these utility conditions and plan the construction activities accordingly.
Commercial structures exist immediately adjacent and residential structures within approximately 200 feet of the proposed driven pile foundation locations. The impact of noise and vibration due to pile driving may need to be mitigated by limitation on hours of the day for driving piles. The recommendations of the Caltrans Transportation and Construction Guidance Manual, including Chapter 9 (General Procedures for Addressing Vibration Issues) should be followed. Evaluation for specific pile driving equipment can be performed once the contractor completes their Driving System Submittal.
15.2 Construction Considerations that Influence Specifications All grading should be performed in conformance with Section 19 of Caltrans’ Standard Specifications or equivalent. Backfill placed behind retaining walls should have a very low to low expansion potential.
The extent and placement of the low-expansive soils should conform to Caltrans’ Geotechnical Manual, Embankments (December 2014) Figure 1. Quality assurance during construction should conform to Caltrans Standard Specifications Section 6-2.01A, including the use of the CTM 216 test method for relative compaction testing.
The Contractor should verify the existing utility line conditions. These areas should not be used for stockpiling of construction materials. Any conflicts should be reviewed prior to construction.
15.3 Construction Monitoring and Instrumentation
Site grading, footing excavations, pile excavation and driving activities, removal of any unsuitable soils or oversize material, and replacement and compaction of backfill and subgrade should be observed by the Geotechnical Engineer of Record. Faces of cut slopes in alluvial materials should be observed by an engineering geologist for indications of instability. Appropriate field tests should be conducted to provide quality control, quality assurance for structural fills and related earthwork elements.
The Contractor should execute a monitoring program for structures in proximity to any deep excavations so that appropriate modifications to the excavation/shoring system and/or foundation type are implemented to minimize the surface deflection or structure damage in a timely manner.

Executive Summary
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study i
October 2024
Executive Summary
The City of Sacramento (City) proposes to construct a multi-modal bridge connecting Truxel Road to Sequoia Pacific Boulevard across the American River as part of the Truxel Bridge Project (Project). The proposed Project would cross the Lower American River within the American River Parkway, which is an open space greenbelt that provides residents and visitors of the Sacramento Region various recreational opportunities. As such, this area contains numerous protected environmental resources. Due to the high environmental sensitivity in this area, it is imperative to fully understand the environmental constraints and how they can affect the Project cost and schedule early in the planning and design process. Through resource identification efforts and stakeholder outreach, potential environmental impacts, required technical studies, environmental documentation, and future coordination efforts were identified for this Feasibility Study.
Biological resources within the Project area include the Great Valley Riparian Forest habitat and the Lower American River. Database research and preliminary field surveys determined that both resources provide suitable habitat for the following special status species: Chinook salmon, Green sturgeon, California Central Valley (CCV) Steelhead, Swainson's Hawk, White-Tailed Kite, Western Pond Turtle, and valley elderberry longhorn beetle. Impacts to federally listed species require Section 7 consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) during the Project Approval & Environmental Document (PA&ED) Phase. During the plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) Phase, regulatory permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), Central Valley Flood Protection Board (Flood Board), and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) are required for impacts to the American River, Great Valley Riparian Forest habitat, and adjacent jurisdictional water features. As mitigation is required for impacts to these habitats and protected species, the City team has initiated outreach to regulatory and wildlife agencies and the Sacramento County Department of Regional Parks to identify potentially suitable off-site mitigation options. Lastly, due to anticipated impacts to state listed species, an Incidental Take Permit (ITP) from CDFW is anticipated during the final design phase as well.
Due to the high cultural resource sensitivity, the City has initiated early consultation with the United Auburn Indian Community (UAIC), including ongoing email correspondence and a field visit with Tribal representatives in May 2024. As part of this early consultation, Indigenous resources known to the UAIC have been identified within and adjacent to the Project footprint, including the Delta Tribal Cultural Landscape (Delta TCL). During the PA&ED Phase, potential avoidance will be pursued but presence/absence of archaeological testing will likely be required to determine if any previously unknown resources are present within the Project footprint. Additionally, all cultural resource identified within the Project footprint will be evaluated to determine their eligibility for listing on either the National Register of Historic Places or California Register of Historical Resources. The Project will consult with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) to obtain concurrence on any cultural resources identified that require significance evaluations, determinations of effect, and/or a memorandum of agreement under Section 106 of the NHPA.
In an effort to accurately scope other environmental resources and sensitivities within the Project area, a California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Preliminary Environment Study (PES) Form was completed. Environmental constraints identified through the PES Form (in addition to those discussed above) were related to Traffic, Noise, Air Quality, Hazardous Waste, Water Quality, Floodplains, Wild and Scenic Rivers, Parks, Visual Resources, and Community Impacts.
Project impacts related to these resources will be evaluated during the PA&ED Phase.
Executive Summary
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study ii
October 2024
Lastly, preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is anticipated due to the high level of public involvement as well as potentially significant impacts to environmental resources. Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Project is anticipated to require the preparation of a Complex Environmental Assessment (EA) leading to a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). All technical studies prepared for this Project will be used to support the CEQA/NEPA environmental document.
Chapter 1. Introduction
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study 1
October 2024
Introduction
1.1 Background
The City of Sacramento proposes to construct a multi-modal bridge connecting Truxel Road to Sequoia Pacific Boulevard across the American River (Figure 1. Project Vicinity and Figure 2.
Project Location). In 2013, the City prepared the American River Crossing Study to evaluate optional alignments to cross the American River. Eight alignments were prepared and studied, with Alignment 3 (the Truxel Road alignment) ultimately selected as the preferred alternative for a new crossing.
Dokken Engineering (Dokken) was selected to complete a Feasibility Study for the Truxel Road alignment and many different engineering and environmental constraints were evaluated (Figure
3. Truxel Design Alternatives and Figure 4. Bridge Cross Section Alternatives). This Environmental Documentation Memorandum is intended to scope all future environmental clearances, consultations, permits, and mitigation that will be required to deliver this Project through construction. It is understood that this Project will have a federal nexus, either through impacts to waters of the U.S. and/or due to federal funding. To ensure consistency throughout this document, it is assumed that federal funding would be obtained and that Caltrans Local Assistance would be the lead under NEPA. As such, this memorandum references Caltrans terminology for NEPA studies.
1.2 Project Purpose
The purpose of the proposed Project is to:
• Provide a crossing of the Lower American River for all modes of transportation which will increase the ability of the community to walk, bike, and utilize public transit as an alternative to driving while being in compliance with the City of Sacramento’s Neighborhood Friendly Bridge Policy.
• Improve connectivity across the Lower American River between the Central City and South Natomas for all modes of travel in order to enhance accessibility to resources, jobs, commerce, and social exchanges.
• Increase evacuation and emergency/disaster response options for Central City and South Natomas residents and businesses.
• Enhance recreational access to the American River Parkway from both banks of the Lower American River for pedestrians and cyclists.
1.3 Project Need
The proposed Project addresses the following needs:
• The Lower American River creates a barrier to mobility that causes longer trip lengths for relatively close origins and destinations which discourages walking and bicycling, leads to a dependence on automobiles, and creates inefficient transit routing. These transportation system limitations lead to negative effects on public health.
Chapter 1. Introduction
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study 2
October 2024
• The Lower American River creates a barrier to economic activity, social exchanges, and job access between the Central City and South Natomas. In addition, lack of direct connection between the Central City and South Natomas diminishes the viability of development that has been planned and approved in the City of Sacramento’s General Plan, the River District Specific Plan, and the Sacramento Railyards Specific Plan. • Limited connectivity across the Lower American River contributes to longer emergency/disaster response times and limits evacuation alternatives. • Limited options for access to recreational facilities reduces opportunities to utilize the Lower American River Parkway, especially for those walking and biking.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study 9
October 2024
1.4 Project Setting
1.4.1 Lower American River
The Project would construct a new bridge across the Lower American River.
Wild and Scenic River
The Lower American River is designated as a “recreational” river within the Federal and State Wild and Scenic Rivers Systems. Sacramento County (County) has been designated to have the primary responsibility of managing this resource under both State and Federal laws. The National Park Service (NPS) has responsibility to ensure that the protections under Section 7(a) of the Federal Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (USC Title 16, Chapter 28) are consistently applied to the river.
American River Parkway Plan
Sacramento County has adopted the American River Parkway Plan (ARPP) as an element of its General Plan. The ARPP is a policy document that guides long term plans for development and preservation of the American River Parkway. Due to the Lower American River’s designation as a recreational Wild and Scenic River, the County’s ARPP focuses on the Parkway’s preservation, use, development, and administration. The County’s 2008 adopted ARPP was also adopted by the State legislature in 2010 under the Urban American River Parkway Preservation Act, Public Resources Code 5840. This State legislation requires that actions of state and local agencies, with regards to land use decisions, shall be consistent with the ARPP.
1.4.2 Biological Resources
Sensitive habitat communities within the Project area include the Lower American River, Steelhead Creek, and Great Valley Riparian Forest habitat. These natural habitat communities support various special status species including Chinook salmon, Green sturgeon, California CCV Steelhead, Swainson's Hawk, White-Tailed Kite, Western Pond Turtle, and valley elderberry longhorn beetle.
1.4.3 Cultural Resources
The Project is located within the Lower American River adjacent to the confluence with the Sacramento River which was an area of regional importance during both Indigenous and historic occupational periods. There are known Native American cultural resources present within the vicinity of the Project area, including the Delta TCL and the Lower American River Tribal Cultural Landscape (TCL). Historic-era resources within and adjacent to the Project area include the river levees, the Natomas East Main Drain, and commercial buildings.

Environmental Constraints Analysis
This chapter discusses resource identification efforts and stakeholder outreach completed during the preparation of this Feasibility Study.
2.1 American River Parkway Plan
The Project is located within the American River Parkway and would cross the Lower American River, which is classified as a “recreational” river within the State and Federal Wild and Scenic River Systems. The ARPP acts as the management plan for the federal and state Wild and Scenic Rivers Acts. The ARPP is administered by Sacramento County, specifically the Regional Parks Department, and focuses on the Parkway’s preservation, use, development, and administration.
As such, Sacramento County Regional Parks is an important partner for the Project.
The ARPP’s Discovery Park Area Plan identifies a new bridge crossing at the location of the proposed Project. The crossing is identified as the Downtown Natomas Airport (DNA-RT) light rail extension, which was included in the Discovery Park Area Plan in 2008 (Figure 5. Discovery Park Area Plan Map), and provided for the conveyance of transit, pedestrians, and bicyclists Sacramento County Regional Parks and Planning Departments have acknowledged that the proposed Project, which is an all-modes facility and includes one lane for vehicles in each direction, would require a Discovery Park Area Plan Map Amendment to address the addition of vehicles on the crossing.
The City team has collaborated with Sacramento County Regional Parks throughout the Feasibility Study including:
• September 29, 2023: The City team met with Sacramento County Regional Parks to discuss the Project’s purpose, scope, and proposed features; receive County input regarding resources located within the Project footprint and to obtain the County’s recommendations regarding the Project; develop on and off-site mitigation concepts; and, to understand the County’s position and process regarding an Area Plan Map Amendment to the ARPP.
• January 11, 2024: The City team and Sacramento County Regional Parks met with wildlife agencies to discuss the Project, environmental resources, permitting strategy, and mitigation concepts. The City and County met following the meeting to further discuss the Area Plan Map Amendment next steps.
• April 8, 2024: The City team had a focused meeting with staff from Sacramento County Regional Parks and Planning Departments to discuss the level of CEQA analysis and appropriate timing for the Area Plan Map Amendment.
• May 3, 2024: The City team provided a presentation to the American River Parkway Advisory Committee regarding the Project and the need for an ARPP map amendment. • May 20, 2024: The City team provided a presentation to the County Recreation and Parks Commission regarding the Project and the need for an ARPP map amendment. • June 4, 2024: City requested written clarification from the County of the required steps to amend the Discovery Area Plan.
Chapter 2. Environmental Constraints Analysis
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study 11
October 2024
• August 2, 2024: Sacramento County responded to the City’s request for clarification. • Throughout August and September 2024, conversations continued with the County. An agreement with the County and City that a CEQA analysis would be produced in the near term with the goal of seeking an Area Plan Amendment was made. The City intends to conduct this analysis throughout the winter of 2024.
During the May 2024 presentations, there were minimal comments or questions and no apparent public opposition despite concerns at several community meetings and online survey.
Continuous coordination with Sacramento County Regional Parks will be critical throughout the future project development phases to collaborate regarding the Project’s design, temporary and permanent impacts to existing parkway/recreational features, environmental resource impacts, the ARPP map amendment, and environmental mitigation.
2.2 Biological Resources
2.2.1 Sensitive Habitat Communities
Great Valley Riparian Forest
The Project alignment crosses a dense stand of Great Valley Riparian Forest and will result in both permanent and temporary impact to this vegetation community. This forest type is characterized by a dense multistory tree canopy providing high quality habitat for many species of terrestrial and avian wildlife. Dominant overstory tree species in the Project area include cottonwoods (Populus fremontii) and valley oaks (Quercus lobata). Common mid-canopy and shrub species include box elder (Acer negundo), Oregon ash, blue elderberry, toyon, wild grape, poison oak, and Himalayan blackberry.
The Project alignment crosses through approximately 1,900 feet of Great Valley Riparian Forest between the north bank of the American River and the northern Project terminus at Truxel Road and an additional 100 feet along the south bank of the American River (Figure 6. Habitat and Biological Resources). Assuming the construction footprint will be approximately 150 feet wide (permanent bridge width plus temporary construction access), the Project will require the removal of approximately 7.5 acres of Great Valley Riparian Forest habitat and the removal of approximately 800 to 1,000 trees. As the Project is within the American River Parkway, all compensatory mitigation for habitat impacts (including tree loss) must be implemented within the parkway (ARPP Mitigation of Project Impacts – pg. 225).
Lower American River
The Lower American River is a tributary to the Sacramento River and is designated a Water of the United States, and a Water of the State (Figure 6. Habitat and Biological Resources). The channel provides important habitat for multiple species of special status fish including Spring and Winter Run Central Valley Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), California Central Valley (CCV) Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss ssp. irideus), and green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris). In addition, the channel is final designated critical habitat for all three species and is also designed as an Essential Fish Habitat by NMFS.
The Project will involve adding both temporary and permanent structures to the main channel of the American River. The bridge is expected to be supported by a minimum of two sets of permanent concrete columns that will be drilled into the bed of the river. Construction will also Chapter 2. Environmental Constraints Analysis
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study 12
October 2024
likely require assembly of a temporary wooden trestle over the river supported on temporary steel piles. Installation and removal of the temporary trestle piles will involve some level of impact pile driving which has the potential to result in harmful levels of underwater sound pressure. An analysis of underwater sound pressure will be required and included as part of the biological analysis completed for the Project. In addition, the permanent concrete columns that will support the new bridge will result in a slight permanent reduction in available stream channel habitat. ¨¦§5

Steelhead Creek
Steelhead Creek flows south from the Elverta and Rio Linda neighborhoods before turning west at Discovery Park and flowing parallel to Garden Highway before emptying directly into the Sacramento River. Steelhead Creek is fed by a number of urban tributaries including Arcade Creek and Dry Creek and carries perennial flow. Water quality and habitat values have been degraded by urban runoff, illegal dumping, and homeless encampments. The channel still provides a migratory corridor for small runs of anadromous fish including Chinook salmon and CCV Steelhead on their way to spawning habitat in Steelhead Creek.
The Project is expected to clear span over Steelhead Creek, meaning that no permanent bridge elements would be constructed within the channel; however, it’s likely that a large abutment will need to be placed in the north bank of Steelhead Creek and riparian vegetation along both sides of Steelhead Creek would be temporarily impacted for construction access.
Previous Mitigation Projects
In the early 2000s, Sacramento County Parks undertook a salmonid floodplain rearing habitat enhancement project on the north bank of the American River, just east of the Project area. The project entailed downgrading a section of the stream bank to hydraulically connect it to the river during moderate flow events and revegetating with native trees and shrubs.
An elderberry and riparian forest habitat restoration project was completed immediately east of the Project area in the mid-2000s. The Project may require temporary or permanent encroachment into this restoration area depending on the final alignment and bridge design.
2.2.2 Special Status Species
A total of 7 special status species are either presumed to be present or have a high potential to be found within the Project area (Figure 6. Habitat and Biological Resources). Agency consultations and habitat mitigation for the species will be required.
Central Valley Chinook Salmon (Spring & Winter Run)
Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is listed under both the Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA) and California Endangered Species Act (CESA). Two populations of the species use the Lower American River including a winter-run population and a spring-run population. The winter-run population is listed as endangered and the spring-run population is listed as threatened. In addition, the Lower American River is final designated Critical Habitat for the species.
Chinook salmon are anadromous, meaning they migrate between the ocean and fresh water to spawn and complete their life cycle. Depending on the population, adults migrate from marine habitats off the coast of California and move into freshwater river systems in either the winter or spring. The adults travel up the river systems, returning to their natal spawning grounds to breed before dying. When the eggs hatch, the young fish spend upwards of a year in freshwater before migrating out to the ocean where they will spend their entire adult life. Towards the end of their lives, the adults return to their natal streams to spawn and die, repeating the cycle.
Where the Project area crosses the American River, the water is too deep and the stream bed substrate too fine to support spawning habitat for the species; however, suitable spawning habitat is present further upstream, and the American River Fish Hatchery located just downstream of Chapter 2. Environmental Constraints Analysis
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study 16
October 2024
the Nimbus Dam intercepts and artificially spawns thousands of Chinook salmon every year. The Project segment is part of a critical link along the species migration corridor, connecting the spawning grounds and fish hatchery to the ocean.
Green Sturgeon
Green sturgeon is listed as threatened under FESA and their conservation is under the purview of NMFS. The Southern Distinct Population Segment of Green sturgeon consists of populations utilizing coastal marine waters from Monterey Bay, California, north to Cape Flattery, Washington and inland freshwater channels including the Sacramento River, lower American River, lower Feather River, and lower Yuba River in California; the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Suisun, San Pablo, and San Francisco bays in California; the lower Columbia River estuary; and certain coastal bays and estuaries in California, Oregon, and Washington.
Green sturgeon are anadromous marine dwelling species of estuaries, bays and oceanic waters.
During the breeding season, mature Green sturgeon navigate upstream to freshwater riverine environments from February to July. Spawning is relatively infrequent and believed to occur once every 2 to 5 years, from March to July in cold, clean waters. Among the threats contributing to the Green sturgeon’s decline are invasive species, inaccessibility to reaches within its native range, pollution, water development projects, insufficient water levels, fishing and habitat loss. In addition, the loss of shaded riparian corridors and alterations to natural flow regimes have contributed to harmful water temperatures during egg deposition (preferred 46-57 degrees Fahrenheit) and larval development (preferred 52°F -66°F).
The Project footprint is within final designated Critical Habitat for the species and this section of the Lower American River provides potential migration, spawning, and rearing habitat for the species. Adults could be present during the migration and spawning seasons (February – July), and smolt/fry may be present during any time of year.
California Central Valley Steelhead
CCV Steelhead is a distinct population of Steelhead listed as threatened under FESA. This distinct population is found in the Sacramento and San Joaquin River basins in the Central Valley.
Steelhead are anadromous fish that spend part of their life cycle in freshwater and part in salt water. The species was once abundant in California coastal and central valley drainages; however, population numbers have significantly declined, especially in the tributaries of the Sacramento River. The species spawns in freshwater streams where the young remain for several years before migrating to the ocean where they spend most of their lives. After several years in the ocean, adults return to their natal streams to spawn. Unlike salmon, CCV Steelhead are capable of spawning more than once before they die.
The Lower American River provides vital habitat for the continued existence of CCV Steelhead and a sizable run of several thousand adults are counted at the American River Hatchery fish ladder several miles upstream each year. In addition, the Lower American River is final designated Critical Habitat for CCV Steelhead. Adults are present in the river during the fall/winter migration and spawning seasons and smolt/fry may be present any time of year.
Bald Eagle
Bald eagles have been delisted from the Federal Endangered Species Act but are still fully protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Act of 1940. Bald eagles are large birds of prey and opportunistic feeders. They mainly eat fish but will also feed on carrion when available. The species builds large platform nests at the tops of large mature trees, usually in proximity to large Chapter 2. Environmental Constraints Analysis
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study 17
October 2024
bodies of water. The Lower American River provides suitable nesting and foraging habitat for bald eagle and is known to support several pairs of nesting eagles.
Swainson’s Hawk
Swainson’s hawk (Buteo swainsoni) is listed as a threatened species under CESA. The species migrates annually from wintering areas in Central and South America to breeding locations in northwestern Canada, the western U.S., and Mexico. In California, Swainson’s hawks nest throughout the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valley. The species is typically associated with mature riparian forest habitat, but individual pairs will also nest in large, isolated trees. The breeding season extends from late March through late August, with peak activity from late May through July (England et al. 1997). Swainson’s hawks forage in large, open agricultural habitats, including alfalfa and hay fields. The breeding population in California has declined by an estimated 91% since 1900; this decline is attributed to the loss of riparian nesting habitats and the conversion of native grassland and woodland habitats to agriculture and urban development.
Swainson’s hawk are known to occur in the riparian forests of the Lower American River and the species is presumed to be present within or adjacent to the Project area.
White-Tailed Kite
White-tailed kite is a fully protected species under California Fish and Game Code Section 3511.
This level of protection dictates that no individuals of this species may be impacted in any way.
The species has a restricted distribution in the United States, occurring only in California and western Oregon and along the Texas coast (American Ornithologists’ Union 1983). The species is fairly common in California’s Central Valley margins with scattered oaks and river bottomlands.
White-tailed kites nest in riparian and oak woodlands and forage in nearby grasslands, pastures, agricultural fields, and wetlands. They use nearby treetops for perching and nesting sites. Voles and mice are common prey species.
Riparian habitat within the Project area provides high quality habitat for the species and there are numerous documented occurrences of white-tailed kite within the Discovery Park area. The species is therefore considered to have a high potential to occur nearby and may be affected by the proposed Project. Additional conservation measures will need to be developed to ensure the species is “Fully Protected” throughout construction.
Western Pond Turtle
The western pond turtle is not currently a State or Federally listed species; however, the species is proposed for listing as a Threatened species under both FESA and CESA. The western pond turtle is a fully aquatic turtle, inhabiting ponds, marshes, rivers, streams and irrigation ditches with aquatic vegetation. The species requires suitable basking sites such as logs, rocks and exposed banks and associated upland habitat consisting of sandy banks or grassy open fields for reproduction. Nesting occurs mid-June through mid-July and egg incubation takes approximately 5 to 8 months before young emerge from the nest.
The Lower American River provides potentially suitable aquatic and upland habitat for western pond turtle and while the species is more strongly associated with ponds and smaller stream channels, there are several documented occurrences of the turtle further upstream along the Lower American River. Western pond turtle is therefore considered to have a high potential to occur within the Project area.

Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle
The valley elderberry longhorn beetle (VELB) has been federally listed as threatened since 1980.
Elderberry shrubs (Sambucus sp.), which grow in riparian areas and foothill woodlands in California’s Central Valley, are VELB’s obligate host plant which they depend on for survival and reproduction. The beetle goes through four life stages: egg, larvae, pupa, and adult. Females lay their eggs on the bark of the elderberry shrub and the larvae hatch and burrow into the stems.
Larvae are active within the stems year-round and take one to two years to emerge as adults.
The adults are active from March to June. The beetle feeds exclusively on the elderberry shrub throughout all stages of its life (USFWS 2017). VELB’s usage of elderberry shrubs can be detected by the presence of exit holes created by the beetle’s larval stage in the stem of the shrubs. The VELB is threatened by habitat loss of California’s Central Valley riparian areas mainly due to agriculture and urban development.
Sections of the American River riparian corridor have been designated as Critical habitat for the species, the closest of which is approximately 1.4 miles upstream of the Project. In addition, a portion of the riparian habitat within the project area was planted with elderberry shrubs as mitigation for a separate project. The beetle is presumed to be present within the project footprint and a large number of elderberry shrubs will need to be removed.
2.2.3 Mitigation
As mentioned in section 2.2.1, all compensatory mitigation for habitat impacts must be mitigated within the American River Parkway. A portion of the required habitat creation and enhancement will be able to be placed within the temporary impact footprint; however, permanent impacts resulting from the physical bridge structure and shade impacts will need to be mitigated by completing a habitat creation or enhancement project elsewhere within the American River Parkway.
The City team has completed initial outreach to various wildlife and regulatory agencies and the Sacramento County Parks Department and identified a potentially suitable site approximately 2 miles upstream in the Woodlake Plan Area. It is estimated that an off-site mitigation project will need to establish approximately 25 acres of enhanced/created habitat for the various protected biological resources. The Woodlake Plan Area is currently designated as a protected area and there are no plans to further develop recreational facilities or trails in this area. In the next phase of work, the City will need to work with County Regional Parks, regulatory agencies, and stakeholder groups to develop a conceptual mitigation design.

2.3 Cultural Resources
Cultural resource services are required for the Project to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and CEQA. These services will include the identification and evaluation of any cultural resource within the Project footprint. Identification will consist of conducting a review of records on file at the North Central Information Center, consultation with Native American Tribal governments, archaeological field surveys, and archaeological presence/absence testing. Presence/absence testing is especially important to complete early in the planning process due to the dense vegetation that obscures the ground surface within the Project footprint.
Due to the high cultural resource sensitivity, the City has initiated early consultation with the UAIC, including a field visit with Tribal representatives in May 2024. As part of this early consultation, Indigenous resources known to the UAIC have been identified within and adjacent to the Project footprint, including the Delta TCL. The UAIC also provided recommendations for best practices to avoid, minimize, and/or mitigate potential impacts to Indigenous resources, which are included in Appendix A. Although potential avoidance will be pursued, presence/absence archaeological testing will likely be required to determine if any previously unknown resources are present within the Project footprint.
All cultural resources identified within the Project footprint will be evaluated to determine their eligibility for listing on either the National Register of Historic Places or California Register of Historical Resources. As the Project footprint encompasses a portion of the Delta TCL and a previously unrecorded portion of the Lower American River TCL, which are both considered significant resources eligible for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources, the Project may have an adverse effect to both resources under Section 106 of the NHPA and a potentially significant effect under CEQA. The UAIC provided recommendations for best practices to avoid, minimize, and/or mitigate potential impacts to cultural resources, which are included in Appendix A. The measures listed in Appendix A and other measures to mitigate impacts and reduce them to a less than significant level under CEQA will be developed in consultation with the UAIC, City, and potentially other tribes and stakeholders. Lastly, a late discovery and monitoring plan is also anticipated to allow for efficient and respectful treatment of cultural resources discovered during construction of the Project.
Additional resources known to be within the Project footprint include river levees, Natomas East Main Drain, and commercial buildings (Figure 8. Environmental Constraints Overview). Steps to address these resources will require possible recordation (if not previously recorded), evaluation, assessment of effects, and development of mitigation if adverse effects/significant impacts are anticipated. Consultation with SHPO regarding cultural resource identification, significance, effect determination, and proposed mitigation will be required. ¨¦§5

2.4 Community
The proposed Project crosses census tracts designated as Senate Bill 535 Disadvantaged Communities. These areas represent the 25% highest scoring census tracts in CalEnviroScreen
4.0, census tracts previously identified in the top 25% in CalEnviroScreen 3.0, and census tracts with high amounts of pollution and low populations (CalEPA, 2022). This indicates that the communities immediately adjacent to the proposed Project are the disadvantaged communities that will be most affected by the implementation of the proposed Project (Figure 8.
Environmental Constraints Map).
Truxel Bridge location and features were vetted by the communities the Project will serve through the City’s comprehensive engagement process that included utilizing online platforms, in-person workshops, and public presentations. During the Feasibility Study, outreach efforts provided both targeted, neighborhood-specific community engagement services to assure disadvantaged community members have an opportunity to share and provide the Project team with their travel needs, patterns and desires for improved connectivity. Community-wide engagement activities were also provided to understand the overall challenges and opportunities for providing an allmodes, community-friendly bridge.
2.5 Other Environmental Considerations
In an effort to accurately scope environmental resources and sensitivities within the Project area, a Caltrans PES Form was completed and is included as Appendix B of this document. The PES Form identifies the level of NEPA environmental technical studies that will be required should Caltrans Local Assistance be the NEPA lead. Other environmental considerations identified in the PES Form and during preparation of this report are discussed below.
2.5.1 Air Quality
Existing Air Quality
The City is within the jurisdictional boundaries of the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD). The SMAQMD is located in an area that is in non-attainment for Federal Particulate Matter 2.5 micrometers or less in diameter (PM2.5) and ozone standards.
The SMAQMD is in attainment or unclassified for other federal criteria pollutants. Lastly, the SMAQMD is located in an area that is in non-attainment for State ozone and PM10 standards. The SMAQMD is in attainment or unclassified for other state criteria pollutants. Table 1 lists the state and federal attainment status for SMAQMD.

Source: SMAQMD, https://www.airquality.org/air-quality-health/air-quality-pollutants-and-standards Conformity Requirements
Conformity requirements apply only in Federal nonattainment and maintenance areas and do not apply for State standards regardless of the status of the area. Conformity analysis at the Project level includes verification that the Project is included in the regional conformity analysis and a “hot-spot” analysis if an area is in nonattainment or maintenance for CO and/or PM10 or PM2.5.
The Project, Truxel Bridge (SAC24539), is included in the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (MTP/SCS) and is thus included in the regional conformity analysis. However, since the Project is located in a Federal PM2.5 nonattainment area and a Federal PM10 maintenance area, interagency consultation will be needed to determine if a “hot-spot” analysis is required.
2.5.2 Transportation
The purpose of the proposed Project is to construct a new multi-modal bridge connecting Truxel Road to Sequoia Pacific Boulevard across the American River, which will impact traffic patterns along Truxel Road, Garden Highway, Sequoia Pacific Boulevard, and other adjacent roads.
Preliminary traffic studies have been prepared by Fehr and Peers. As the Project would construct a new bridge, potential impacts to regional transportation and traffic must be analyzed under CEQA guidelines through the vehicle miles travelled (VMT) framework. Since the City is the CEQA lead agency, this Project is required to comply with policies listed in the General Plan and the Climate Action & Adaption Plan (CAAP). The following threshold is listed in the City’s General Plan:
• Transportation projects not included in the General Plan should be considered to have a significant impact if implementation of the project would result in any increase in Total Regional VMT.
As the Truxel Bridge Project is part of the City of Sacramento’s 2040 General Plan, transportation impacts under CEQA are considered a less than significant. Only transportation projects not included in the General Plan would potentially be considered to have a significant impact; however, with inclusion of the Truxel Bridge Project in the General Plan, VMT impacts are not anticipated.
As part of this Feasibility Study, Fehr and Peers conducted a preliminary VMT analysis for the 2016 Base Year, No Project, and With Project scenarios with a regional SACOG boundary as the regional VMT estimates and a City of Sacramento boundary as the Project-level VMT estimates.
Additionally, the No Project and With Project scenarios were analyzed for VMT in both the cumulative conditions and the supercumulative conditions.
Chapter 2. Environmental Constraints Analysis
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study 23
October 2024
For the 2016 Base Year, the Total Network VMT within the SACOG regional boundary was estimated to be 63,101,746, and within the City of Sacramento boundary was estimated to be 11,957,712.
Within the SACOG boundary, the Total Network VMT would slightly increase from 74,418,242 to 75,138,234 in the cumulative conditions with the Project, and in the supercumulative conditions, the Total Network VMT would decrease from 76,329,244 to 76,306,373. Within the City of Sacramento boundary, the Total Network VMT would increase from 14,704,781 to 14,802,541 in the cumulative conditions, and in the supercumulative conditions, the Total Network VMT would increase from 14,891,198 to 14,945,006.
Additionally, the Total Network VMT per capita for the 2016 Base Year within the SACOG regional boundary was estimated to be 26.55, and within the City of Sacramento boundary was estimated to be 25.30.
Within the SACOG boundary, the Total Network VMT per capita would slightly increase from
24.91 to 24.98 in the cumulative conditions with the Project; however, in the supercumulative conditions, the Total Network VMT per capita would decrease from 24.72 to 24.60. Within the City of Sacramento boundary, the Total Network VMT per capita would slight decrease from 23.80 to
23.19 in the cumulative conditions and in the supercumulative conditions, the Total Network VMT per capita would decrease from 23.95 to 23.50.
The analysis shows that within the SACOG regional boundary, Total Network VMT would slightly increase in the cumulative scenario, and decrease in the supercumulative scenario and within the City of Sacramento boundary, Total Network VMT would slightly increase with the proposed Project in both the cumulative and supersumulative scenarios compared to the No-Build scenario.
For Total Network VMT per capita, the SACOG regional boundary cumulative scenario would increase; however, the SACOG regional boundary supercumulative scenario and both the City of Sacramento cumulative and supercumulative scenarios would decrease Total Network VMT per Capita with the Project compared to the No-Build scenario. Regardless, transportation impacts under CEQA are considered a less than significant.
2.5.3 Noise
There are multiple sensitive noise receptors along Truxel Road. Sensitive noise receptors include residential structures east of Truxel Road, Read Academy of Sacramento and Childtime of Sacramento west of Truxel Road, wildlife that inhabit the American River Parkway, and office buildings along Sequoia Pacific Boulevard. As the Project would construct a new multi-modal bridge across the American River, noise impacts on these sensitive receptors need to be evaluated. The Project would also need to comply with City General Plan noise policies and the City local noise ordinance. Since Caltrans is the assumed NEPA lead agency, the Project would also be subject to 23 Code of Regulations (CFR) 772 – Procedures for Abatement of Highway Traffic Noise and Construction Noise. The Project is considered a Type I project as defined in 23 CFR 772.5(h). Noise related impacts will need to be evaluated through the preparation of a Caltrans formatted Noise Study Report. See section 3.2.4 for more information regarding noise related technical studies required during the PA&ED phase.
Chapter 2. Environmental Constraints Analysis
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study 24
October 2024
2.5.4 Parks and Recreational Areas
The Project area is located within the American River Regional Parkway, a Sacramento County Regional Park. Additionally, Discovery Park, Two Rivers Bike Trail, and Jedediah Smith Trail are within the Project area. Public access to Discovery Park, American River Regional Parkway, Two Rivers Bike Trail, and Jedediah Smith Trail will be maintained during construction. In order to provide a safe and direct connection for bicyclists and pedestrians from Natomas to downtown Sacramento and the American River Regional Parkway, bike lanes and/or multi-purpose pathways will be included on the new bridge, and trail connections at the Two Rivers Bike Trail and Jedediah Smith Trail will be constructed as part of the Project. For the Two Rivers Bike Trail, design alternatives being pursued include providing a connection to the trail at the roadway intersection or constructing a ramp that connects to the trail, eliminating the need for a roadway intersection crossing. For the Jedediah Smith Trail, design alternatives include providing a connection to the trail on the west side of the bridge but an east side connection with a switchback is also being analyzed. See Figure 3 for more information.
Project related impacts to these resources will be evaluated during the PA&ED phase of the Project. Since Caltrans is anticipated to be the NEPA lead, these resources would be treated as Section 4(f) and would go through the Section 4(f) evaluation process. This is discussed further in Section 3.2.10 and 4.4.
According to the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) project map, which tracks information on parcels/projects funded through LWCF over the program’s history, there are multiple LWCF funded parcels/projects within the American River Parkway. After coordinating with the Director of Sacramento County Regional Parks, the closest LWCF funded parcel is outside of the Project vicinity. Thus, the Section 6(f) evaluation process is not anticipated.
2.5.5 Wild and Scenic River
The Lower American River, from Nimbus Dam to the Sacramento River confluence, is a state and nationally designated wild and scenic recreational river. The proposed Project is located in this segment of the American River. The ARPP is the policy document that guides decisions to preserve the scenic and recreational qualities of the river. Sacramento County Regional Parks is the implementing agency responsible for ensuring that management of the parkway is consistent with the ARPP.
Throughout the Feasibility Study, the City team has kept the goals and policies of the ARPP as a priority. Coordination with Sacramento County Regional Parks has been ongoing throughout the Feasibility Study (as discussed in Section 2.1).
Lastly, since the Lower American River is a nationally designated wild and scenic recreational river, it is subject to Section 7 of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Section 7 directs federal agencies to protect the free-flowing condition and other values of designated rivers and congressionally authorized study rivers. Project related impacts to this resource will be evaluated during the PA&ED phase of the Project. This is discussed further in Section 3.2.8.
Chapter 3. Further Environmental Analysis
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study 25
October 2024
Further Environmental Analysis
This chapter identifies environmental studies and environmental documents that will be required during the PA&ED phase of this Project.
3.1 Environmental Document
3.1.1 CEQA/NEPA
The proposed Project would require approval under both CEQA and NEPA during the environmental document phase. Preparation of an EIR under CEQA is anticipated due to the high level of public involvement as well as potentially significant impacts to environmental resources including, but not limited to cultural resources, tribal cultural resources, and biological resources.
Additionally, approvals under NEPA are anticipated to be required due to federal funding and/or impacts to federal resources. Under NEPA, the Project is anticipated to require the preparation of a Complex EA leading to a FONSI. As it is anticipated that Caltrans would be the NEPA lead, acting on behalf of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), a Caltrans formatted joint EIR/EA would be prepared.
Prior to preparation of the EIR/EA, a Notice of Preparation (NOP) will be made available to the public and all interested stakeholders. The purpose of the NOP is to obtain early comments on the proposed Project, alternatives, and potential environmental impacts. Upon circulation of the NOP, the draft EIR/EA can be prepared and circulated to the public and all interested stakeholders, allowing the public to review and comment. Due to the level of impacts and anticipated significant public involvement, public engagement opportunities will be held throughout the overall environmental process. After circulation, all comments received will be responded to and included as an appendix to the final environmental document. During preparation of the final environmental document, findings of fact pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 for each of the significant effects identified in the Final EIR/EA will be prepared. The findings will describe the effect, cite one or more applicable findings under Section 15091, and describe the evidence that supports the selected findings. Additionally, a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be prepared to address any significant effects of the Project that are unavoidable, explaining the economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of the Project that outweigh its unavoidable environmental impacts. The objective of CEQA is to disclose to decision makers and the public the environmental effects of proposed activities. After considering the final EIR, the City, as the CEQA lead agency, may decide whether or how to approve or carry out the Project. If the City decides to approve the Project, a public hearing will be held regarding the potential adoption of the EIR/EA. Upon adoption of the CEQA document, Caltrans would consider moving forward with finalizing the NEPA portion of the EIR/EA with preparation and federal circulation of the FONSI.
3.1.2 Sacramento Regional Transit Previous Environmental Documentation In 1989, Sacramento Regional Transit (SacRT) proposed a new bridge between Truxel Road and Sequoia Pacific Boulevard to serve the Green Line extension to the Sacramento International Airport. As a result of this effort, an Administrative Draft EIR/EA was prepared in 2019 that included an alternative with cars. However, this document was never publicly circulated and is thus not certified. In addition, there is currently no timeline identified for SacRT to complete this environmental document. To minimize delays, a standalone environmental document for the proposed Project is expected to be prepared rather than tiering off of a SacRT environmental document.
Chapter 3. Further Environmental Analysis
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study 26
October 2024
3.1.3 ARPP EIR Addendum
The ARPP identifies a new bridge crossing the Lower American River at the Truxel Road location.
At the time of the ARPP adoption (2008), the development of this new bridge crossing was being led by SacRT and was known as the “Downtown-Natomas-Airport (DNA) light rail project alignment”. This SacRT project is also referred to as the Green Line and at the time of adoption, provided for transit, pedestrian, and bicycles. SacRT is a partner on the City’s Feasibility Study and supports the City moving forward with an all-modes bridge in this location, which would include vehicle lanes. While a new bridge in the proposed location is supported by the ARPP and is specifically referenced in numerous locations including the Discovery Park Area Plan, the Discovery Park Area Plan map identifies the crossing as a Light Rail DNA bridge, and Sacramento County Regional Parks has stated that an Area Plan Map Amendment will need to be processed and approved by the County in order to properly reflect the City’s proposed all-modes bridge.
Based on coordination with the County, it is anticipated that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Addendum to the previous ARPP Update EIR will be required before the County can approve this Area Plan Map Amendment. Public outreach will be conducted to ensure the public is involved before the EIR Addendum is approved. If Parkway-wide policies, associated text, or land use designations are to be changed, approval at the state level would be triggered. At this time, it is anticipated that is not needed.
3.2 Recommended Technical Studies
The technical studies listed below will be used to support the CEQA/NEPA environmental document prepared for this Project. It is anticipated that federal funding from FHWA will be secured for the Project and as such, the descriptions of technical studies below are consistent with Caltrans format documents.
3.2.1 Biological Technical Studies
Natural Environment Study
A Caltrans formatted Natural Environment Study (NES) will be needed to fully quantify the biological resources present onsite and potential project effects to those resources. The in-depth analysis included in the NES will be used to support the conclusions in the biological section of the CEQA/NEPA environmental document as well as guide the future preparation of Section 7 Endangered Species Consultation Materials.
Aquatic Resources Delineation Report
An Aquatic Resources Delineation Report (ARDR) is a standard required attachment for any permit application from USACE and will be required for this Project. A wetland delineation and ordinary high water mark identification and mapping effort will be completed as part of the biological investigations for the NES. Field investigations should be completed in the spring to maximize survey and mapping accuracy. Survey methodology must follow the standard practices specified in the Wetland Delineation Manual and Ordinary High Water Mark Delineation Manual published by USACE. The ARDR must be prepared in the template format provided by USACE.
The ARDR will be prepared concurrently with the NES and does not need to receive separate Caltrans approval.
USFWS Biological Assessment
Chapter 3. Further Environmental Analysis
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study 27
October 2024
The Project may affect one federally listed (VELB) and one proposed threatened (western pond turtle) species that is under the conservation authority of USFWS. As the anticipated NEPA lead agency for the Project, Caltrans will be the Section 7 consultation lead with USFWS. A Biological Assessment (BA) will be needed to fully analyze and quantify potential impacts to these species.
Caltrans will use the BA to initiate formal consultation with USFWS under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act.
NMFS Biological Assessment
The Project may affect three fish species including Chinook salmon, Green sturgeon, and CCV Steelhead. In addition, the Project footprint contains final designated Critical Habitat for each of these species and Essential Fish Habitat. As such, formal consultation with the NMFS will be required to fully quantify, document, and mitigate potential effects to these species.
As the anticipated NEPA lead agency for this Project, Caltrans will be the Section 7 lead agency for consultation with NMFS. A BA will need to be prepared that assesses all potential direct and indirect effects to these species including habitat loss, potential hydroacoustic effects, and risk of entrapment. Caltrans will use the BA to initiate consultation with NMFS under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act.
3.2.2 Water Quality
The proposed Project would construct a new crossing over the Lower American River, resulting in direct and indirect impacts to the Lower American River. A Water Quality Assessment Report will be prepared to evaluate potential impacts to water resources and water quality and identify best management practices to minimize and avoid water quality impacts.
3.2.3 Cultural
Cultural resource investigations will most likely include a pedestrian survey and Extended Phase I survey, due to the reduced visibility of the ground surface within the Project footprint. Should Indigenous resources extend into the areas of direct impact, a Phase II Testing Evaluation will be needed.
Technical studies, assuming Caltrans as the lead federal agency, include preparation of:
• Historic Property Survey Report,
• Archaeological Survey Report,
• Extended Phase I Proposal,
• Extended Phase I Report,
• Historical Resources Evaluation Report,
• Archaeological Evaluation Report,
• Finding of Effects Report,
• Monitoring and Environmentally Sensitive Area Action Plan, • Memorandum of Agreement, and
• Late Discovery and Monitoring Plan
Consultation with SHPO will be required to consider potential impacts and effects to the resources identified through the investigation, consultation, and documentation processes.
Chapter 3. Further Environmental Analysis
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study 28
October 2024
3.2.4 Noise
The proposed Project will construct a new bridge across the Lower American River and is therefore a Type I project as defined in 23 CFR 772.5(h). There are multiple residences within 500 feet of the proposed bridge location. Additionally, the Lower American River contains habitat that supports wildlife and various special status species. Local residents, wildlife, and office workers may be impacted by increased noise levels; therefore, a Noise Study Report will be prepared to assess the Project’s potential effects on future noise conditions and to evaluate temporary construction impacts and local noise ordinances.
Based on the Noise Study Report, if traffic noise impacts are predicted, noise abatement measures must be considered through the preparation of a Noise Abatement Decision Report (NADR). The NADR is prepared after the Noise Study Report is approved, during the PA&ED phase.
More specifically, the NADR evaluates the reasonableness and feasibility of constructing the noise abatement. The Caltrans Traffic Noise Analysis Protocol sets forth the criteria for determining when an abatement measure is reasonable and feasible. Feasibility of noise abatement is an engineering concern. A minimum 5-dBA reduction in the future noise level must be achieved for an abatement measure to be considered feasible. Other considerations include topography, access requirements, other noise sources, and safety considerations. The reasonableness determination is a cost-benefit analysis. Factors used in determining whether a proposed noise abatement measure is reasonable include the noise reduction design goal, residents’ acceptance, and the cost per benefited residence. To meet the noise reduction design goal, a barrier must provide at least 7 dB of noise reduction at one or more benefited receptors.
This design goal applies to any receptor and is not limited to affected receptors. In order to determine residents’ acceptance, a letter and voting ballot will be sent to all property owners and non-owner occupants at benefited receptors, defined as receptors that are predicted to receive at least 5 dB of noise reduction from the proposed abatement, to solicit their viewpoints either to approve or oppose the proposed noise abatement. If more than 50% of the benefited receptors vote to oppose the abatement, then the abatement will not be considered reasonable. The results of the polling and the final reasonableness determination is included in the NEPA environmental document.
3.2.5 Air Quality
An Air Quality Report will be prepared to document potential Project impacts on air quality, potential avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation measures, and project-level conformity documentation. Additionally, an Air Quality Conformity Analysis will be prepared and submitted to FHWA for their conformity determination.
Energy and Climate Change
Construction of a new bridge would potentially increase energy use via increased fuel consumption as well as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Construction of the Project would result in short term energy use and GHG emission generation due to the use of construction equipment. A quantitative short-term and long-term energy use and greenhouse gas emissions analysis will be performed and summarized in the Air Quality Report and CEQA/NEPA environmental document. A discussion of compliance with the goals and policies of the City’s CAAP will also be included in the CEQA/NEPA environmental document.
Chapter 3. Further Environmental Analysis
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study 29
October 2024
3.2.6 VMT
A Traffic Report, which includes a VMT analysis, would be prepared for the Project for public disclosure; however, only transportation projects not included in the General Plan would potentially be considered to have a significant impact under CEQA. The Truxel Bridge Project is part of the City of Sacramento’s 2040 General Plan; therefore, VMT impacts under CEQA are considered a less than significant. Regardless, the results of the VMT analysis will be summarized in the CEQA environmental document.
3.2.7 Community
As the Project area crosses low-income and minority populations, a Community Impact Assessment will be conducted and will address community impact concerns, as well as identify minimization and mitigation measures to reduce impacts. The Project is striving to avoid any direct impacts to buildings; however, should the Project need relocations, a Relocation Impact Report will be prepared.
3.2.8 Visual/ Wild and Scenic Rivers
There are various visual and scenic resources within the Project area, such as the Lower American River, which is a state and nationally designated wild and scenic recreational river.
Construction of the Project will introduce a new bridge across the Lower American River, requiring vegetation removal, and introducing new lighting in the area; therefore, impacts to the visual environment are anticipated. Viewer groups within the Project vicinity include residents, recreational users, commercial viewers, office workers, commuters, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
To assess how these changes could impact viewer groups in the Project vicinity, a Visual Impact Assessment Advanced Report will be prepared. The Visual Impact Assessment Advanced Report will also evaluate if the construction or operation of the Project will affect this segment of the American River. Photo simulations are critical for understanding the proposed visual daytime and nighttime changes during and after construction of the Project. Because of the complexity of this Project, photorealistic simulations will be included in the Visual Impact Assessment Advanced Report. The new Truxel bridge will be designed to minimize negative impacts to the American River Parkway environment and aesthetic values and will follow policies listed in the ARPP. A Caltrans format Questionnaire to Determine Visual Impact Assessment Level (included in Appendix B) has been completed which resulted in a preliminary score of 39.
The ARPP has numerous policies related to the avoidance, minimization, and mitigation of visual impacts. As the Project progresses through future phases, the goals and policies of the ARPP will be at the forefront of Project decisions.
Last, since the Project is a nationally designated wild and scenic recreational river, it is subject to Section 7 of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and will need to be evaluated under the “direct and adverse effect” standard listed in the Technical Report of the Interagency Wild and Scenic Rivers Coordinating Council. This evaluation will be documented in a Wild and Scenic Rivers Study and will be prepared during the PA&ED phase of the Project.
3.2.9 Hazardous Waste
The Project would require removal and disposal of yellow traffic stripe paint and possible impacts to pole-mounted electrical transformers. Yellow traffic stripe paint made prior to 1995 has the potential to contain lead-based paint, and leaking electrical transformers are considered a Chapter 3. Further Environmental Analysis
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study 30
October 2024
potential polychlorinated biphenyl hazard. There is also potential for aerially deposited lead (ADL) to be present in soils adjacent to Garden Highway and existing roadways. A Phase I Hazardous Waste Initial Site Assessment and Phase II Site Investigation will be required to assess potential hazardous waste sites for presence of hazardous materials in the Project area. The site assessments would include an evaluation of the Project area history through review of available reports and historic maps/aerial photographs etc., field reconnaissance to document the potential occurrence of and contamination by waste or hazardous materials in the Project area, and review of regulatory agency files and databases regarding the use, storage, unauthorized release and remediation of hazardous materials in the Project area. If any sites are confirmed to be present in the construction area, or where the City would be acquiring right-of way, additional testing will be required.
3.2.10 Section 4(f)
The Two Rivers Bike Trail, Jedediah Smith Trail, American River Parkway, and Discovery Park are located either within or immediately adjacent to the Project area. Additionally, the following historic sites, which qualify or may qualify as Section 4(f) resources, are located within the Project:
Natomas East Main Drain / historic levees, commercial buildings, and Delta TCL. A Programmatic Section 4(f) Evaluation will be prepared and will appropriately document minimization effort to the Section 4(f) resources within or adjacent to the Project.
3.2.11 Floodplains
The proposed Project location occurs within Zone AE, which indicates floodway areas, and Zone A99, which indicates a 1% annual chance of flooding that will be protected by a Federal flood control system where construction has reached specified legal requirements. The Project also occurs within Zone X, area with reduced flood risk due to levee. A Location Hydraulic Study, Floodplain Evaluation Report, and Summary Floodplain Encroachment Report will be prepared to analyze the impacts of the new bridge on the floodplain.
3.3 Habitat Mitigation Design
Once preliminary engineering has been completed and Project impacts to environmental and biological resources are more accurately calculated, a conceptual mitigation design must be prepared and shared with the County Parks Department, regulatory agencies, and stakeholder groups for input. Once a conceptual mitigation design is agreed upon, the next step will be to develop a Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (HMMP).
The HMMP will outline the impacts and mitigation from the proposed bridge Project, define a mitigation project to offset those impacts, and include post-mitigation success criteria to verify the mitigation project is progressing towards providing high quality habitat for target species. A conservation easement and endowment may be required.
Chapter 4. Future Agency & Stakeholder Consultations
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study 31
October 2024
Future Agency & Stakeholder Consultations
This chapter discusses anticipated agency and stakeholder consultation that will occur during PA&ED, PS&E, and beyond.
4.1 Sacramento County Regional Parks and American River Parkway Plan Frequent and regular coordination with Sacramento County Regional Parks will be a priority of the Project since they have the principal responsibility for administering the ARPP. The County Regional Parks’ input on Project features and avoidance/minimization/mitigation measures will be extremely important. As discussed in previous sections, it is anticipated that the Project will need (at a minimum) one Area Plan Map Amendment for the inclusion of vehicles on the bridge, which will require an EIR Addendum followed by approval from the County Board of Supervisors. If Parkway-wide policies, associated text, or land use designations are to be changed, approval at the state level would be triggered. At this time, it is anticipated that is not needed. In addition, it is anticipated that future presentations will be necessary to the American River Parkway Advisory Committee and the County Recreation and Parks Commission.
4.2 Interagency Consultation for Air Quality Conformity The City is in non-attainment for ozone and PM2.5 and maintenance for PM10 under Federal regulations. As part of the Air Quality Report, a request for Interagency Consultation Review (ICR) will be prepared and presented to the SACOG Interagency Consultation Review Group. This Interagency Consultation process will determine if the Project is a Project of Air Quality Concern (POAQC) under U.S. EPA’s regulations 40 CFR 93.123 (b) (1). The Project sponsor will submit a completed POAQC determination form to SACOG for review. SACOG then submits this form to the members of the SACOG ICR Group for 14 days. If it is determined to be a POAQC, the Project sponsor will need to perform a project-level PM hot spot analysis and bring it again to the SACOG ICR Group for review. Conformity documentation will be included in the joint CEQA/NEPA environmental document.
4.3 Wild and Scenic Rivers Interagency Coordination
As part of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Study, coordination with the River Managing Agencies (Sacramento County Regional Parks and California Resources Agency) for the Lower American River is required. It may be necessary to also consult with NPS. The purpose of this consultation is to determine whether the proposed Project could have an adverse effect on the free-flowing characteristics of the river and whether the action could have the potential to alter the river segment's ability to meet the criteria that classify it as wild, scenic, or recreational. The results of this consultation must be included in the Wild and Scenic Rivers Study and CEQA/NEPA environmental document. In order to avoid delays, it is recommended that coordination with all appropriate agencies occur early during the PA&ED phase of the Project.
4.4 Section 4(f) Programmatic Coordination
As part of the Programmatic Section 4(f) evaluation, interagency coordination is required with the agency having jurisdiction over the resource. For Two Rivers Bike Trail, Jedediah Smith Trail, American River Parkway, and Discovery Park, Sacramento County is the agency with jurisdiction.
For the Natomas East Main Drain / historic levees and Delta TCL, SHPO is the agency with jurisdiction. Coordination with these jurisdictional agencies will consist of discussing the significance of the property, primary purpose of the land, proposed use and impacts, and Chapter 4.

Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study 32
October 2024
proposed measures to avoid and/or minimize harm. The official with jurisdiction must agree on the use evaluation and proposed measures to minimize harm in order for the Programmatic Section 4(f) evaluation to be approved.
4.5 State Historic Preservation Officer Consultation
The Project will consult with the SHPO to obtain concurrence on any cultural resources identified with require significance evaluations, determinations of effect, and/or a memorandum of agreement under Section 106 of the NHPA.
4.6 Endangered Species Consultations
4.6.1 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
The Project is anticipated to affect federally listed species protected by USFWS, including western pond turtle and VELB. As the anticipated NEPA lead agency for the Project, Caltrans will be the Section 7 consultation lead for both species. A BA will be needed to fully analyze and quantify potential impacts to these species. Caltrans will use the BA to initiate consultation with USFWS under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act.
As the Project is likely to require removal or relocation of elderberry shrubs, formal consultation under Section 7 is anticipated.
4.6.2 National Marine Fisheries Service
The Project may affect three fish species including Chinook salmon, green sturgeon, and CCV Steelhead. In addition, the project footprint contains final designated Critical habitat for each of these species and Essential Fish Habitat. As such, formal consultation with the National Marine Fisheries Service will be required to fully quantify, document, and mitigate potential effects to these species.
As the anticipated NEPA lead agency for this Project, Caltrans will be the Section 7 lead agency for consultation with NMFS. A BA will need to be prepared that assesses all potential direct and indirect effects to these species including habitat loss, potential hydroacoustic effects, and risk of entrapment. Caltrans will use the BA to initiate consultation with NMFS under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act.
4.6.3 California Department of Fish and Wildlife
The Project may result in incidental take of two species listed as threatened or endangered under CESA including Chinook salmon and Swainson’s hawk. Under California Fish and Game Code Section 2081, “take” of CESA listed species is prohibited without first obtaining an ITP from CDFW.
As the Project will likely involve impact pile driving that has the potential to result in harmful levels of underwater sound pressure that would result in direct take of CESA listed fish in close proximity to the construction area during trestle installation, an ITP for Chinook salmon is expected to be required.
CDFW has asserted that any Project activities within ¼ mile of an active Swainson’s hawk nest may result in nest abandonment or other forms of “take.” There are numerous documented Chapter 4. Future Agency & Stakeholder Consultations
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study 33
October 2024
Swainson’s hawk nests within ¼ mile of the proposed Project and there is a very good chance that Swainson’s hawk will be nesting within ¼ mile of the Project during construction. As such, an ITP for Swainson’s hawk is expected to be required to avoid potential delays during construction.
4.7 Regulatory Permitting
The regulatory permits listed below will need to be obtained during the PS&E phase, prior to construction of the Project. However, separate permits from the USACE, CDFW, and the Water Board will be required during PA&ED in order to proceed with geotechnical work or to initiate any cultural resource investigations that require excavation and vegetation removal.
4.7.1 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
The USACE regulates discharges of dredged or fill material into Waters of the United States.
These waters include rivers, streams, lakes, and the territorial seas that meet specific criteria, including a direct or indirect connection to navigation or interstate commerce. USACE’s jurisdiction in these areas stems from two laws, Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, which regulates navigable water ways, and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, which also includes smaller tributaries and adjacent wetlands. The American River is a traditionally navigable waterway and is a water of the United States. As such, any project on the river is subject to regulation under both Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
The proposed bridge is consistent with a linear transportation project described in Nationwide Permit 14 (NWP-14) which would cover the project for both Section 10 and Section 404 discharges. The City will be required to submit a pre-construction notification to the Sacramento District of the USACE to apply for coverage under NWP-14. In the Sacramento region, 404 Nationwide Permit Authorization take approximately 8-10 months to obtain.
4.7.2 Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board The Water Board has jurisdiction under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act and regulates any activity which may result in a discharge to Waters of the United States. In addition, the Water Board also asserts authority over “waters of the State” under waste discharge requirements pursuant to the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act.
The City will be required to submit an application to the Water Board for coverage under both Section 401 of the Clean Water Act and the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act. The Water Board accepts a combined application and will issue a single Water Quality Certification that covers both State and Federal laws. In the Central Valley, 401 Water Quality Certifications take approximately 6-8 months to obtain.
4.7.3 Central Valley Flood Protection Board
The Flood Board regulates activities along designated floodways and regulated streams throughout the Central Valley. Any project in these areas must apply for a Flood Encroachment Permit from the Flood Board. In addition, if a project is located along or near a Federal Flood Control Project (e.g. federal levees, dams), the Flood Board must receive approval from the USACE Sacramento District Section 408 Program before issuing a Flood Encroachment Permit.
Chapter 4. Future Agency & Stakeholder Consultations
Truxel Bridge Concept & Feasibility Study 34
October 2024
The American River at the Project area is a designated floodway and the City will need to apply for a Flood Encroachment permit from the Flood Board. In addition, Folsom Dam is a Federal Flood Control Facility and all portions of the Lower American River downstream of the dam are also considered part of the Federal Flood Control Facility. As such, the USACE Sacramento District Section 408 Program will need to review the project as part of the Encroachment Permit Process. Flood Encroachment permits with 408 review take approximately 18-24 months to obtain.
4.7.4 California Department of Fish and Wildlife
Under California Fish and Game Code Section 1600, public agencies are required to notify the CDFW and obtain a Streambed Alteration Agreement before undertaking any project that may substantially divert or obstruct the natural flow of, or substantially change or use any material from the bed, channel, or bank of, any river, stream, or lake, or deposit or dispose of debris, waste, or other material containing crumbled, flaked, or ground pavement where it may pass into any river, stream, or lake. In practice, CDFW jurisdiction under Section 1600 includes waterways (both natural and manmade) as well as associated wetland and riparian habitats. The Project is within CDFW Region 2, which is headquartered in Rancho Cordova.
The City will need to apply for a Streambed Alteration Agreement from CDFW for the proposed Project. Project notifications must be submitted to CDFW through their EPIMS online web portal.
The typical timeline for obtaining a Streambed Alteration Agreement from CDFW in Region 2 is approximately 8-10 months.
4.7.5 U.S. Coast Guard
The USCG Bridge Program monitors and ensures that existing bridge crossings, bridge modifications, and new bridges over navigable waters do not obstruct navigation. The Lower American River is a navigable water and the bridge will need to be designed to meet navigational clearances. The proposed Project is within the jurisdiction of the 11th Coast Guard District in Alameda. The City will be required to contact the USCG Bridge Program and submit an application for a Bridge Permit. As part of their permit review, the USCG will complete their own separate public notification and comment process. The typical timeline for securing a USCG Bridge Permit is 12 months.
4.7.6 City Tree Permitting
The City of Sacramento Tree Ordinance protects all native trees with a trunk diameter of 12 inches or greater measured at standard height. In addition, all trees over 24 inches in diameter in undeveloped areas are protected by the City Tree Ordinance. As discussed in Section 2.2.1, construction of the proposed Project is estimated to require the removal of approximately 800 to 1,000 trees, many of which will be protected under the City tree ordinance. As such, an arborist survey is required and the City will have to coordinate with City Arborist and obtain a tree permit prior to the start of construction.
Chapter 5. Conclusions

Conclusions
5.1 Environmental Documentation and Technical Study Summary The proposed Project will require approvals under CEQA and NEPA during the environmental document phase. The City of Sacramento will be the CEQA lead and it is assumed that Caltrans will be the NEPA lead. Due to the level of impacts to environmental resources and anticipated level of public interest, it is anticipated that the Project will require the preparation of an EIR under CEQA and a Complex EA under NEPA. To streamline the process, a joint EIR/EA will likely be prepared.
As Caltrans is the assumed NEPA lead and the Project is off the State Highway System, a PES Form will be required, which outlines the recommended federal environmental documentation, technical studies, surveys, approvals, agency coordination, and permits required for the Project.
A PES Form has been prepared as part of this effort and is included in Appendix B. The following technical studies are expected to be required:

Resource Type Environmental Technical Studies1 Coordination
1. All technical studies listed are Caltrans specific since it is anticipated that Caltrans would be the NEPA lead agency
5.1.1 American River Parkway Plan
The Project is located over the Lower American River which is classified as a recreation river within the State and Federal Wild and Scenic River Systems. In addition to being a Wild and Scenic River, the American River Parkway is an extremely valuable resource for the region. The ARPP is the guiding policy document for the Parkway and Sacramento County Regional Parks is responsible for administering the ARPP.
The ARPP sets goals, policies, and guidelines for activities within the Parkway. As the Project progresses, the City team will coordinate closely with Sacramento County Regional Parks and will obtain their input on the design features, temporary and permanent impacts to parkway natural and recreational resources, and mitigation. In addition, at least one Map Amendment to the Discover Park Area Plan will be necessary. Complying with the ARPP as well as avoiding, minimizing, and fully mitigating impacts to the Parkway/Lower American River will be a high priority of the Project.
5.1.2 Biological Resources
Special Status Species Consultations
As discussed in Section 4.4, the Project may affect species listed as either Threatened or Endangered under either FESA, or CESA.
For species listed under FESA, Caltrans is anticipated to serve as the Federal consultation lead for Section 7 Consultation with USFWS and NMFS. For species listed under CESA, the City will need to apply for an Incidental Take Permit under CFG Code Section 2081.
Due to the extended timelines necessary to complete federal and state consultations, it will be important for the Project schedule to begin the process as early as possible during the PA&ED phase of the Project, ideally shortly after biological technical studies have been prepared.
Regulatory Permitting
As discussed in Section 4.8, numerous permits, listed in Table 3 below, will be required during the PS&E Phase to construct the Project. Separate regulatory permits from the USACE, CDFW, and the Water Board will be required during PA&ED in order to perform geotechnical and cultural resource investigations that require excavation.

Habitat Mitigation
The Project alignment crosses a dense stand of Great Valley Riparian Forest, a sensitive vegetation community, and will result in both permanent and temporary impacts. Therefore, mitigation will be required. As the Project is within the American River Parkway, all compensatory mitigation for habitat impacts (including tree loss) must be implemented within the parkway. The City team has completed initial outreach to regulatory agencies and the Sacramento County Parks Department and identified a potentially suitable site approximately 2 miles upstream in the Woodlake Plan Area. In the next phase of work, the City will need to work with County Parks, Regulatory Agencies, and stakeholder groups to develop a conceptual mitigation design. Once a conceptual mitigation design is agreed upon, the next step will be to fully develop a mitigation plan and prepare a HMMP.
5.1.3 Cultural Resources
Due to the high cultural resource sensitivity of the Project area, Native American and permitting agency coordination is essential to begin investigations early in the planning process. Resources of concern include the Delta TCL and the Lower American River TCL as well as river levees, commercial buildings, and the Natomas East Main Drain. Overall, the Project may have an adverse effect under Section 106 of the NHPA and a potentially significant effect under CEQA requiring substantial attention to evaluation, assessment of effects, significance, development of mitigation, and consultation.

Hi Sparky,
Thank you for reaching out. Our team had the following recommendations for best practices:
• Tribal Cultural Resource (TCR) Identification – invite Tribes to identify TCRs within project areas and offer to conduct additional identification work (subsurface testing, canine survey, etc.) to further define boundaries.
o Accept Tribal identifications of TCRs and document the sites (boundaries, significance & integrity) based on tribal recommendations. • Tribal Monitoring – fully fund Tribal Monitoring during TCR identification, TCR treatment and construction.
• TCR Treatment and Restoration – follow Tribal recommendations for respectful treatment and restoration of TCRs.
o Design drawings – provide copies of the design, so it’s clear what types of ground disturbance will be occurring in which areas. This information helps to target areas for site identification and plan strategies for TCR protection. o Engineers & Contracts – ensure that engineers are present when treatment of TCRs is being discussed, so they can help determine feasible ways to avoid or reduce impacts to sites;
o Contract – offer Tribes the ability to review construction contracts to ensure that the contract has funding and language for the protection of TCRs, include secure storage areas, stockpiling of cultural soils, reburial, identification of the role of Tribal Monitors, etc.
o Reburial – offer timely and secure reburial of any cultural soils or cultural items at a location that is approved by Tribal representatives.
• Archaeological Coordination –Archaeological identification, evaluation and treatment will not be privileged over tribal identification, evaluation and treatment. o Assistance - Archaeologists should be tasked to support shared goals by assisting with documentation and treatment of Tribal Cultural Resources, upon Tribal request.
o Competency – since archaeologists often document or assist with treatment of tribal cultural resources, offer Tribal Representatives the opportunity to recommend archaeological consultants;
o Enforcement – include clauses for the removal and replacement of archaeological consultants if they lack the appropriate technical expertise, do not show up at the job site, cause damage to tribal cultural resources, or behave unprofessionally toward Tribal Representatives
• Mitigation – mitigate for impacts to TCRs in a way that is meaningful to Tribes.
