We are requesting a copy of Solvang's Employee Compensation Report for the 2024 calendar year under the provisions of California Gov. Code § 7920, the California Public Records Act.

The purpose of this request is to obtain records which provide a complete and comprehensive account of Solvang's total costs associated with employee full names and compensation.

Specifically, this request seeks an accounting, by full name and job title, of total gross wages paid to each employee and the total cost incurred separately by the employer for providing retirement and health benefits. Note that the State Controller’s “Government Compensation in California” report does not contain the names of employees and therefore does not satisfy this request. If your response is to send us a copy of that report, that will simply delay the process and take more of your time as we will reject it as insufficient to satisfy this request in full. As a reminder, per Gov. Code § 7922.585(a) “Nothing in this section is intended to affect the public record status of information merely because it is stored in a computer. Public records stored in a computer shall be disclosed as required by this chapter.” In an effort to standardize how this information is reported please 12/11/2025 Municipalitie

I work for MDG and am helping to develop a financial plan to help pay for some of the improvements identified therein.

Consequently, I need the building permit data for Solvang for the past 5 to 10 years. I was looking for the number of permits issued and valuations for residential and commercial projects over that past 5 to 10 years. The Census provides some of this data, but I have found it to not be reliable, especially in smaller communities as they often impute values based on past
information. I appreciate any help getting that information as well.

11 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: 6.f
MEETING DATE: January 12, 2026
SUBJECT: Approve the Tenth Amendment to the Agreement with Meridian Consultants LLC to Support the WWTP Water Quality Project
PREPARED BY: Jose Acosta, Utility Director
DISCUSSION:

The Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Upgrade Project remains in the design phase; however, the current agreement with Meridian expired on December 31, 2025. Staff recommends extending Meridian Consulting’s agreement to allow them to continue providing essential environmental consulting services. Meridian’s scope of work includes finalizing and submitting the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation required for United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) review and approval. Completion and acceptance of these environmental documents are critical steps in securing USDA loan funding for the project.

The proposed contract amendment extends the agreement term only. There are no changes to the approved scope of work and no increase to the contract cost.

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

Approve the Tenth Amendment to the Meridian agreement to continue current scope of work and extend the term of the contract to December 31, 2026.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could deny this request and direct staff to find another consultant to finish the work. This is not recommended, as the new consultant would need to get up to speed on the various issues, which would likely cost more and delay the final design.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None
ATTACHMENTS:

A – Tenth Amendment to Meridian Agreement
1 AMENDMENT NO. 10
to the agreement with

MERIDIAN CONSULTANTS LLC
(WWTP Water Quality Project)
THIS TENTH AMENDMENT is made and entered into this 12th day of January 2026, between the CITY OF SOLVANG, a municipal corporation and Charter City ("City") and MERIDIAN CONSULTANTS LLC, a California Limited Liability Company ("Consultant"). In consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions set forth in the original Agreement dated, April 8, 2019, the First Amendment dated November 12, 2019, the Second Amendment dated January 19, 2021, the Third Amendment dated November 11, 2021, the Fourth Amendment dated December 13, 2021, the Fifth Amendment dated May 9, 2022, and the Sixth Amendment dated November 28, 2022, the Seventh Amendment dated April 24, 2023, the Eight Amendment dated January 13, 2025, the Ninth Amendment dated April 28, 2025, the parties agree to this Tenth Amendment for the WWTP Water Quality Project, to extend the term of this agreement to December 31, 2026, for no additional costs, for a total amount not to exceed $290,213. The Parties hereby also agree that this Amendment No. 10 shall be deemed effective as of December 31, 2025.

Campaign Contribution Disclosure: Pursuant to Government Code Section 84308, any party to a City proceeding (which includes, but is not limited to, all contracts with the City, other than competitively bid, labor, or personal employment contracts) must disclose on the record any campaign contributions made to a member of the City Council or other elected or appointed officer of the City, any candidate for elected office of the City, or any candidate for elective office of any other agency who is also an elected or appointed officer of the City in excess of $500 in the past 12 months. This disclosure requirement includes contributions by the party’s agent, such as a consultant, and aggregated contributions from persons or entities related to the party. Consultant is required to fill out and provide Applicant/Interested Party Campaign Contribution Disclosure Form’ with submission of this Agreement and to update this form after each contribution and no later than the beginning of any associated proceeding.

All remaining portions of the original agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

AGENDA ITEM: 6.g
MEETING DATE: January 12, 2026
SUBJECT: Approve Final Map located at 1201 Petersen Avenue (APN 137-120-047) and 585 Oak Ridge Road (APN 137-750-005) for a previously approved vesting tentative parcel map.

PREPARED BY: Lisa Scherman, Assistant Planner
DISCUSSION:

The applicant requests City Council approval of a Final Map to finalize an approved lot line adjustment under Planning Application PA 24-003, approved in April 2025. The subject properties are located at 1201 Petersen Avenue (APN 137-120-047) and 585 Oak Ridge Road (APN 137-750-005), in the Planned Residential (PR) zone. The applicant chose to utilize a Final Map to finalize the approved lot line adjustment to the shared property boundary between two existing parcels versus a certificate of compliance.

The proposed final map is to modify the boundary configuration between the two existing legal parcels. No new development is proposed as part of this action, and the existing land uses will remain unchanged. The Lot Line Adjustment does not create any new parcels and is consistent with applicable provisions of the Solvang Municipal Code and the State Subdivision Map Act. The Lot Line Adjustment was reviewed and approved by the Community Development Department and is now before the City Council for acceptance of the Final Map prior to recordation, consistent with Solvang Municipal Code Section 12-3-5. Typically this action occurs at a staff level, however, the subdivision ordinance has not been amended since 1986, therefore requires approval of the City Council.

Both the City Surveyor and the Community Development Director have reviewed the Final Map and the approved lot line adjustment. The Final Map has been found to be in substantial conformance with the approved vesting tentative parcel map. Therefore, staff is recommending that the City Council accept the Final Map and authorize the City Clerk to sign and record the Final Map.

ALTERNATIVES:

None. Final maps are considered administrative actions.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Applicant has paid the required final map fee and deposit required by the City Surveyor (Santa Barbara County).

AGENDA ITEM: 6.h
MEETING DATE: January 26, 2026
SUBJECT: Approve Novation of Certain Professional Services Contracts with Meridian Consultants LLC to successor in interest Trinity Consultants PREPARED BY: Chelsea O'Sullivan, City Attorney
DISCUSSION:

On December 8, 2025 Meridian representative Leanna Williams advised the City that Meridian Consultants LLC (“Meridian”) joined Trinity Consultants, Inc. (“Trinity”) and that Trinity acquired almost all of the assets of Meridian, including several pending contracts between the City and Meridian for environmental services. The acquired contracts include contracts for work on the River Wells administrative hearing, the HCA middle well project and the Waste Water Treatment Plan upgrade project.

Given the importance of the ongoing environmental services Meridian provides, Staff recommends the Council approve and authorize the City Manager to sign a novation substituting Trinity for Meridian in all the pending contract with the City.

ALTERNATIVES:
• Decline to approve a novation and keep Meridian as the named entity in the pending contracts. This is not recommended as Trinity has acquired these assets from Meridian. • Terminate all contracts with Meridian. This is not recommended as it would delay the pending projects and deprive the City of the project specific knowledge and expertise Meridian has developed.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

Re:

Dear Mr. Acosta,
Proposal for Professional Services
City of Solvang Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements CEQA & NEPA Compliance
Meridian Consultants, LLC is requesting this amendment to our existing contract with the City of Solvang to complete the environmental compliance efforts for the City' s wastewater treatment plant ( WWTP) upgrades and improvements ( Project). This amendment provides for Meridian to assist the City in completing the following to fully address comments from the United States Department of Agriculture USDA) in the Draft Environmental Assessment ( EA) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act NEPA):

Section 7 Informal Consultation with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service ( USFWS); Updates to the Cultural Resources report with current records searches and compliance with Section 106;
Revise the EA to incorporate the findings of Section 7 Informal Consultation and the updates to the Cultural Resources report;
Coordinate with the Solvang team; and
Coordinate and provide support on USDA approval.

The Scope of Work for this effort involves Pax Environmental ( Pax) pulling a new USFWS Information for Planning and Consultation ( IPAC) list, conducting meetings and correspondence with the USFWS, City of Solvang, and Meridian Consultants to revise and complete the USFWS informal consultation for the Solvang WWTP Upgrades Project to address the one ( 1) new species added to the IPAC list ( southwestern pond turtle). Pax will develop mitigation measures for southwestern pond turtle for informal consultation with the USFWS. This task will involve meetings and correspondence with the USFWS, City of Solvang, and Meridian Consultants to update the informal consultation for the Project. It is assumed there will be one ( 1) round of mitigation measure revisions and up to two ( 2) meetings before obtaining a Letter of Concurrence from the USFWS. This will address the comments from the USDA regarding biological resources and Section 7 consultation.

Meridian' steam member, Chronicle Heritage ( formerly PaleoWest), will update the cultural resources technical report prepared in 2020 by PaleoWest for the Project. This will involve Chronicle Heritage 7 Docusign Envelope ID: FAD8F320- BCE1- 4F08- A707- 00A009DCA34C Mr. Jose Acosta, Utility Director
March 14, 2025

consulting the California Historical Resources Information System at the Central Coast Information Center ( CCIC) to conduct an updated records search of the Project area. For the purposes of this Project, this search will encompass the Project area and a 1 - mile buffer. Copies of all previously recorded cultural resources records and relevant cultural resource reports within the search area will be obtained.

Chronicle Heritage will also contact the Native American Heritage Commission ( NAHC) for a search of the Sacred Lands File ( SLF) of the Project area. Chronicle Heritage will also contact individuals listed on the Native American Contact List provided by the NAHC for the Project. Coordination with these individuals will be initiated by email, followed by telephone contact two weeks later to individuals who do not respond to the initial emailed letter. Chronicle Heritage will update the cultural resource technical report originally prepared for the Project. Content updates are anticipated to be limited to the Records Search and Native American Coordination sections of the report only. There are no anticipated changes to the original report conclusions or recommendations. Additionally, Chronicle Heritage will update the 2020 report produced under PaleoWest cover to a current report cover reflecting the 2025 Chronicle Heritage update. This should be sufficient to satisfy USDA' scomments about report dates for the Project.

Meridian will incorporate the results of the IPAC list, Section 7 informal consultation, and updated cultural resources report into the Final Draft EA for the City to submit to USDA for approval, release, and distribution. Meridian will append the associated documentation to the Final Draft EA. This should address the remaining comments provided by the USDA in the Revised Administrative Draft EA in December 2024.

Meridian will also continue to provide support to the City for efforts needed to coordinate with the USDA.

This amendment includes time for Meridian Consultants Associate Principal, Ms. Leanna Williams, to continue to coordinate and meet with City staff (via Zoom) on an as -needed basis.

The estimate not -to -exceed budget to compete the scope of work identified for the additional work described above is $ 19, 820; As shown in Table 1: Cost Proposal and Staffing Plan, the cost for the additional work by Meridian Consultant is $ 8, 000, the cost for the additional work by Pax is 3, 600, and the cost for additional work by Chronicle Heritage is $ 8, 220. The new contract amount with this contract amendment is shown in Table 2: Project Contract Status. 8 Docusign Envelope ID: FAD8F320- BCE1- 4F08- A707- 00A009DCA34C Mr. Jose Acosta, Utility Director

Re: Proposal for Professional Services
City of Solvang Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements CEQA & NEPA Compliance
Dear Mr. Acosta,
Meridian Consultants, LLC is pleased to submit this proposal to the City of Solvang to complete the environmental compliance efforts for the City’ s wastewater treatment plant ( WWTP) upgrades and improvements.

As you are aware, Meridian Consultants has been assisting the City since 2019 on this project in preparing the Initial Study ( IS)/ Mitigated Negative Declaration ( MND) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Our work on this effort was suspended in May of 2022 due to City staffing issues, and the City’ s request that we support their effort to complete environmental documentation for the River Wells Project and the licenses application to the State Water Resources Control Board ( SWRCB).

It is our understanding based on conversations with the City and their engineer Carollo Engineers, that the City has re-initiated the WWTP project with the goal of acquiring grant funding from the U.S.

Department of Agriculture ( USDA) under their Rural Development ( RD) program. To complete the grant application, USDA is requiring the City to complete environmental documentation to meet the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

SCOPE OF WORK
Meridian Consultants will complete the following scope of work. The scope of work has been separated in the completion of the CEQA document ( IS/ MND) that was previously initiated, and preparation of the NEPA ( assumed to be an environmental assessment [ EA]) documents.

CEQA Compliance
Task 1: Respond to Comments on the Admin Draft MND
Meridian Consultants will complete the Draft IS/ MND for the WWTP based on comments yet to be provided by the City. Meridian Consultants submitted the administrative Draft IS/ MND to the City (Mr.

Matt Van der Linden, City Engineer) on May 17, 2021; no comments were provided by the City to date on this draft.

Exhibit A
DocuSign Envelope ID: 6468E36D- CFC7- 42BC-B9EF-D2DEAE58E06E 14 Proposal to Mr. Jose Acosta, Utilities Director, City of Solvang Re: Proposal for Professional Services, City of Solvang Wastewater Treatment Plant ,CEQA & NEPA Compliance November 11, 2022

Meridian Consultants will revise the Administrative Draft IS/ MND based on comments from the City on the draft submitted on May 17, 2021. This effort will assume that there are no changes to the project or its location.

Deliverables:

One ( 1) electronic copy of the Admin Draft IS/ MND for the City to review.

Task 2: Prepare Public Draft MND
Upon receipt of comments from City staff on the Administrative Draft IS/ MND, Meridian Consultants will meet ( via conference call) with City staff to receive their comments, review these comments with the Project team, and revise the Administrative Draft IS/ MND to incorporate the comments and requested Meridian Consultants will submit a final admin draft of the IS/ MND to the City for approval prior to public release.

A Lead Agency (in the case - the City) shall provide a Notice of intent (NOI) to adopt a MND to the public, responsible agencies, trustee agencies, and the Santa Barbara County Clerk where the proposed project is located. Because the proposed Project will be subject to appropriate State agencies ( CDFW, and others) as Responsible Agencies under CEQA, the public review period will require 30 days.

Pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines Section 15072(b), the City, as Lead Agency, shall have the responsibility to mail copies of the NOI to adopt a MND to the last known name and address of all organizations and individuals who have previously requested such notice in writing and shall also give NOI to adopt a MND by at least one of the following procedures to allow the public the review:
1) Publication of the NOI in at least one time by the City in a newspaper of general circulation in the area affected by the proposed project. If more than one area is affected, the notice shall be published in the newspaper of largest circulation from among the newspapers of general circulation in those areas; or
2) Posting of NOI by the Lead Agency on and off site in the area where the proposed Project is to be located; or
3) Direct mailing of the NOI to the owners and occupants of property contiguous to the proposed Project.

To satisfy the above, we suggest that a copy of the NOI be posted both at the City offices and the existing WWTP site . Our scope and cost does not include any posting, filings, mailings, or legal publications in the local newspaper of the NOI, which is assumed to be done by the City if that method is selected.

In addition, Meridian Consultants will prepare the NOI for City to submit to the County Clerk.

Meridian will provide a reproducible copy of the Public Draft Supplemental IS/ MND in PDF format. The City will be responsible for making copies and to provide copies or CDs to the local, state and federal reviewing and responsible agencies.

Meridian will advise the City if the requirements for circulation pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15073(a) to the State Clearinghouse).

Deliverables:

One (1) electronic copy of the Public Draft IS/ MND for the City to post on its website and for the Cityto make copies for distribution.

One ( 1) unbound copy of the Public Draft Supplemental IS/ MND for the City to use in make hard copies as needed. Appendices will be provided to the City in PDF format only.

As required of the IS/ MND to be submitted to the State Clearinghouse for distribution to state agencies. Under the new requirements from the Office of Planning and research, the State Clearinghouse will no longer accept hard copies of documents.

Meridian Consultants will work with the City to file the Draft IS/ MND electronically with the State Clearinghouse. This will include preparation of the Notice of Completion ( NOC) and a summary of the CEQA document.

OPR and the State Clearinghouse have established a CEQA Submit Portal (internal portal for lead agencies and their consultants to register). Therefore, it will be important for Lead Agencies, such as the City, to register through the CEQA Submit Portal and lead agencies to approve consultants to register ( so they can upload and manage document submissions on their behalf). Registry for consultants is not project specific but lead agency specific because the lead agency must verify you are their consultant.

State Clearinghouse website has information on how to file environmental documents and how to register.

One (1) electronic and hard copy of the NOI for the City to file with the Santa Barbara County Clerk.

Task 3: Final IS/ MND and MMRP Preparation
Upon receipt of comments after the 30-day public review period of the Draft IS/ MND, Meridian Consultants will review the comments ( via conference call) with City staff. Following this review, we will prepare draft responses to the comments. This proposal assumes that no additional technical work or research will be required to respond to any comment on the Draft IS/ MND to prepare the Final IS/ MND.

If a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program ( MMRP) is required, Meridian Consultants will prepare an MMRP that identifies the mitigation measures included in the Draft IS/ MND; the timing of the implementation of each measure; and the entity ( applicant, agency, or both) responsible for implementing and monitoring each measure. We will coordinate with City staff to identify the responsible parties for each mitigation measure. Meridian Consultants will revise the MMRP in response to one round of comments for final submittal to the City.

An administrative Final IS/ MND containing responses to comments and other required CEQA sections will be provided to City staff for review. In addition, a Final MMRP will also be prepared.

Uon receipt of comments from the City the administrative draft Final IS/ MND. Meridian Consultants will prepare the Final IS/ MND and MMRP for presentation by City staff for consideration by the City Council for adoption.

Deliverables:

One (1) electronic copy of the Administrative Final Supplemental IS/ MND, and MMRP, if required, for the City to review.

One (1) electronic copy of the Final Supplemental IS/ MND, and MMRP if required, for the City and for posting on its website.

One (1) unbound, camera-ready master copy of the Final IS/ MND for printing and distribution.

Task 4: Notice of Determination
Meridian Consultants will prepare the Notice of Determination ( NOD) for the proposed Project and provide the NOD to City staff for review.

Following the adoption of the IS/ MND, Meridian Consultants will provide guidance to the City on how to file and post the NOD with the Santa Barbara County Clerk and State Clearinghouse. The City will be responsible for filing and posting; note - there is a $50 processing fee by the Santa Barbara County Clerk that will be paid by the City.

CDFW imposes and collects an environmental document filing fee to defray the costs of managing and protecting California’ s vast fish and wildlife resources, including, but not limited to, consulting with other public agencies, reviewing environmental documents, recommending mitigation measures, and developing monitoring programs. The County Clerk requires payment of the applicable California Department of Fish and Wildlife CEQA filing fees; these fees are currently $2,764.00 for an MND for 2023.

The City will be responsible for payment of both the CDFW and County Clerk fees and they are not part of the proposed budget for this proposal.

Deliverables:

One (1) electronic copy of the NOD for the City.

One (1) hard copy of the NOD for the City to file with the County Clerk.

Meridian Consultants will file the NOD with the State Clearinghouse electronically.

Task 5: City Council Hearing Support
Meridian Consultants will attend ( via Zoom or other remote technology) one ( 1) City Council meeting where it will consider adopting the proposed Final IS/ MND, MMRP, and respond to questions and public comments.

NEPA Compliance
The City is applying to the USDA Rural Development ( RD) Program for a Community Facilities Grant.

This program provides affordable funding to develop essential community facilities in rural areas. An essential community facility is defined as a facility that provides an essential service to the local community for the orderly development of the community in a primarily rural area, and does not include private, commercial or business undertakings.

Based on our understanding of the WWTP, it will mostly likely require an Environmental Assessment ( EA) under NEPA to meet the grant application requirements. An EA is a concise public document used by the Agency to determine whether to issue a Finding of No Significant Impact ( FONS)I or prepare an environmental impact statement ( EIS). If, at any point during the preparation of an EA, it is determined that the proposal will have a potentially significant impact on the quality of the human environment, an EIS will be prepared; this proposal does not include the preparation of an EIS should it be determined by USDA that one would be required.

Unless otherwise determined by the Agency, EAs will be prepared for all “Federal actions” as described in 1970.8, unless such actions are categorically excluded ( also referred to Categorically Exempt [ CE]), as determined under subpart B of the USDA regulations ( Part 1970 Subpart B). In review of the conditions under Subpart B, because a portion of the project site may be in a 100-year flood plain, the WWTP is not categorically exempt ( see §1970.52 (b)(4)(iv).

Preparation of an EA will begin as soon as the Agency (USDA) has determined the proper classification of the applicant’ s proposal. Applicants ( in this case the City) should consult as early as possible with the Agency to determine the environmental review requirements of their proposals. The EA must be prepared concurrently with the early planning and design phase of the proposal.

An illustration of the procedures that are normally followed by an applicant and the USDA for preparing, reviewing, and approving an EA is shown on the next page. We have noted the respective responsible entities (USDA, City and/ or Meridian) for each of the efforts.

Task 6: Preparation of Administrative Draft EA
The EA prepared must be sufficient for the Agency ( USDA) to evaluate the environmental effects of their proposal. It will also enable the Agency to fulfill its responsibilities under NEPA and other environmental mandates. The Agency ( USDA) is solely responsible for determining the adequacy of the EA and the proposal’ s environmental impacts and accepting it for use as a federal document.

An acceptable EA must be sufficiently detailed to enable the Agency (USDA) to:

Applicant ( City) consults with Agency ( USDA) at proposal’ s early planning and design phase to discuss environmental review requirements.

Applicant ( City) prepares EA in accordance with Agency ( USDA) guidance; submits draft EA to Agency (USDA) with application for financial assistance.

Agency (USDA) environmental staff reviews and provides
comments to applicant on adequacy of EA. Applicant
City) makes appropriate edits and resubmits EA to
Agency ( USDA) for approval.

Agency ( USDA) determines if EA is ready for public
review. If so, Agency (USDA) will direct and provide
guidance to applicants for publishing public notice(s)
announcing availability of EA for a 14 to 30-day
comment period.

Following public comment period, Agency
USDA)/ applicant (City) evaluates and responds to
comments; applicant makes any necessary edits to EA
and submits to Agency (USDA) for processing.

Agency ( USDA) decides whether to accept EA as a federal document. If so, Agency (USDA) prepares a FONSI as
appropriate and directs applicant to publish a public
notice announcing the availability of the FONSI.

Once the public notice announcing the FONSI
is published, the environmental review process
is concluded.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 6468E36D- CFC7- 42BC-B9EF-D2DEAE58E06E 19 Proposal to Mr. Jose Acosta, Utilities Director, City of Solvang Re: Proposal for Professional Services, City of Solvang Wastewater Treatment Plant ,CEQA & NEPA Compliance November 11, 2022

Determine if all reasonable alternatives have been considered; Evaluate the environmental effects of the proposal and any reasonable alternatives; Assess the significance of those effects;
Specify mitigation measures, if necessary; and
Conclude that interested agencies, tribes, and the public were given adequate opportunity to participate in, review, and comment on the proposal.

The amount of information and depth of analyses provided in the EA must be commensurate with the magnitude and nature of the WWTP project and its potential level of impacts.

The EA is intended to be a “ concise document and should not contain long descriptions or detailed data which the agency may have gathered. Rather it should contain a brief discussion of the need for the proposal, alternatives to the proposal, the environmental impacts of the proposed action, and a list of persons or agencies consulted.” Essentially, the EA should briefly provide sufficient data, analysis, and evidence supporting impact conclusions to ultimately determine whether to prepare a FONSI or proceed to an EIS.

Meridian Consultants will prepare the administrative Draft EA for review by the City. The EA will be complied using information contained in the Draft MND prepared under Task 2; preparation of the EA will begin once the IS/ MND is released for public review.

The EA will be organized as follows:

1. Purpose and Need for Proposal
a. The section defining the purpose of and need for the proposal and the Agency’ s action is a critical section of an EA. The information presented in this section needs to explain the:
i. Underlying purpose of and need for the applicant’ s proposal and for which Agency financial assistance is being requested; and
ii. Agency’ s authority and program objectives in responding to the proposal under consideration.

2. Alternatives Including the Proposed Action and No Action a. Reasonable alternatives are those that could effectively meet the proposal’ s purpose and need, are technically implementable and economically feasible, and make common sense.

Alternatives that are not determined to be reasonable can be documented as considered but eliminated from further review. Reasonable alternatives that would avoid or minimize adverse environmental effects may include:
i. Design alternatives;
ii. Siting and location alternatives;
iii. Alternative water sources or locations of point discharges/ receiving waters of treated wastewater;
iv. System capacities, project timing, etc.; or
DocuSign Envelope ID: 6468E36D- CFC7- 42BC-B9EF-D2DEAE58E06E 20 Proposal to Mr. Jose Acosta, Utilities Director, City of Solvang Re: Proposal for Professional Services, City of Solvang Wastewater Treatment Plant ,CEQA & NEPA Compliance November 11, 2022

v. Alternative corridors or routes for utility infrastructure proposals, e.g., electric power lines or water lines.

In accordance with 7 CFR §§ 1970.13(a) and 1970.102(a)(3) and as a minimum, applicants are required to evaluate the environmental effects of the “ No Action” alternative. The “ No Action” alternative “ mean[ s] the proposed activity would not take place, and the resulting environmental effects from taking no action would be compared with the effects of permitting the proposed activity or an alternative activity to go forward.”
For applicant proposals that are less complicated, single-site actions and in accordance with 7 CFR 1970.13(a), applicants are only required to consider and document the analysis of the “ No Action” alternatives in the EA as long as there are no potential adverse effects to environmental resources. If during the environmental review process and EA preparation, the proposal or a component thereof is determined to have potential adverse effects to an environmental resource( s), reasonable alternatives must be evaluated to avoid or minimize that effect.

This proposal for the WWTP EA will consider the “single site” approach and only evaluate the No Action and the Proposed action. If the flood plain is an issue, alternative design that would locate the WWTP out of the flood plain would be considered as a 3rd alternative. No other alternatives would be considered.

3. Affected Environment
This section will describe the geographical and environmental setting of the area affected by the proposal and each of the other two (2) alternatives, as well as documenting the current condition of the resources being evaluated.
a. Environmental Consequences
b. Documenting the evaluation of and discussing the potential impacts to each affected resource from all alternatives under .
c. Summarizing the methods used to collect data/ information for predicting impacts. d. Describing the methods used to evaluate and analyze impacts from the proposal including a summary “ conclusion” at the end of each resource discussion of all findings, including whether or not an impact would occur and, if so, the significance of such an impact. e. Providing adequate documentation for any conclusion or finding that no significant impacts are likely to occur if the proposal or any alternative is implemented.

Documentation of consultations with environmental regulatory or natural resource agencies that would substantiate any findings or conclusions must be provided. f. Establishing and discussing any mitigation measure( s) necessary to avoid or minimize any significant adverse impacts to a specific environmental resource.

4. Cumulative Effects
The cumulative effects assessment considers the effects of the proposal in light of the effects of past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions occurring in the area affected by the WWTP. If appropriate, both additive and synergistic effects to particular resources should be considered and analyzed. It is presented in a separate section of the EA, and it addresses all the resources of concern.

5. Summary of Mitigation
This section will briefly summarizes any proposed mitigation measures necessary to avoid or minimize any adverse effects to any environmental resource. The summary should include the City and any responsible party(ies), implementing criteria, and how each measure will be enforced.

6. Coordination, Consultation and Correspondence
Impact evaluation and analysis requires coordination and consultation with Federal or State environmental regulatory or natural resource agencies. All correspondence related to this coordination must be included in this section, along with those persons, organizations, and agencies that were contacted for information and that assisted in identifying important issues, developing alternatives, or analyzing impacts. Any formal agreements or documentation indicating final compliance with applicable laws or regulations must be appended to the EA or be readily available for public inspection. Any scoping or other public involvement efforts should also be described. A list of recipients receiving copies of the EA is recommended.

7. References
Include any literature cited, and attach as exhibits or appendices any other supporting documents, maps, photographs, etc.

8. List Of Preparers
A list of persons responsible for preparing the EA should be included, along with their affiliations.

Those that had a significant review role can be included.

SCOPE OF WORK
City of Solvang
Update to City' s River Wells Project
Proposal for an Addendum to Certified Environmental Impact Report

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Background
The City of Solvang ( City) completed a Water System Master Plan Update (" 2011 Master Plan Update") dated April 2011 that provided details on the existing City water system, proposed future upgrades, and new facilities to provide water to the current and future residents and businesses of the City.

The purpose and intent of the 2011 Master Plan Update is to: (1) evaluate present and future water supply and demand conditions; ( 2) analyze and identify water system supply and distribution deficiencies; and 3) develop recommendations on prioritizing water sources, develop new and expanded water production and treatment facilities for water diverted from the Santa Ynez River, upgrade various distribution and storage facilities, and develop a capital improvement program to address deficiencies.

Further, the Master Plan Update establishes a framework to assist the City in its efforts to acquire a time extension to perfect and license its water right on the Santa Ynez River, and secure an expansion of the reach of diversion specified for Water Right Permit 15878 from the State Water Resources Control Board SWRCB).

The first major recommendation in the Master Plan Update is the installation of new Santa Ynez River underflow wells to give the City sufficient pumping capacity to extract Santa Ynez River underflow at the maximum instantaneous rate allowable under Water Right Permit No. 15878. The installation of the new wells will be a primary water source for the City. The other major recommendation is to utilize the river wells in conjunction with the wide range of other water supplies available to the City to provide a highly reliable source to the water users within the City' s municipal coverage area.

To implement the projects recommended in the 2011 Master Plan Update and to pursue changes to its current water permit ( Water Right Permit 15878) from the SWRCB; the City' s proposed changes to Water Right Permit 15878 would address the annual amount of water the City desires to appropriate and the maximum rate of and point of diversion from the Santa Ynez River via groundwater withdrawal. Under Water Right Permit 15878, the City extracts underflow from the Santa Ynez River using the City' s groundwater wells along the river.

As required by the California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA), the City prepared and certified an Environmental Impact Report ( EIR) ( SCH No. 2011011007) for the 2011 Master Plan Update in February 2014.

Meridian Consultants 1 Solvang River Wells Project
January 2021 EIR Addendum Proposal
37 2011 Master Plan Update
The 2011 Master Plan Update provided for the City to maintain a reliable supply of water from a variety of sources that will be adequate for the City' s General Plan under full buildout conditions. The 2011 Master Plan Update recommended that the City prioritize the development and use of its various water supply sources in the following order of decreasing preference:

Install and utilize existing and new wells along the Santa Ynez River; Utilize SWP water;
Utilize central and upland wells located in or near the City; and Purchase water from Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District, Improvement District No ID No. 1).

The 2011 Master Plan Update provided recommendations ( listed in the following five categories) to assist and guide the City in continuing to provide reliable and reasonably priced water service to its present and future customers.

The recommendations in the 2011 Master Plan Update include installation of new wells along the Santa Ynez river to replace the pumping capacity lost to flood damage and to allow the City to extract Santa Ynez River underflow at the 5 cubic feet per second ( cfs) maximum rate provided by Water Right Permit No. 15878. The added pumping capacity would allow the City to make the wells located along the Santa Ynez River its priority water source. The water from the wells located along the Santa Ynez River would be used as the priority water source in conjunction with a wide range of supplies for providing a reliable source to the water users within the City' s municipal coverage area in all year types.

As part of the 2011 Master Plan Update, the City had proposed to install up to six new wells, with a similar capacity of about 300 gallons per minute ( gpm) each, and install filtration facilities so that the City will be able to meet potable water standards even when some wells are under the influence of surface water.

This would allow the City to achieve the maximum extraction rate of 5 cfs ( or 2, 250 gpm).

Current River Wells
The City currently has two active river wells (Wells 3 and 7A) and one inactive river well (Well 5), located along the Santa Ynez River channel. Under state law, drinking water produced from wells within 150 feet of surface water is considered " under the influence of surface water." Therefore, water produced by those wells under the influence of surface water must be filtered subject to the same rules applicable to surface water. The City does not currently have the filtration equipment that is required to make surface water or water under the influence of surface water) legally potable. During periods of heavy rain, the water in the river can rise to levels within 50 feet of either well. The river also periodically changes course due to rain and releases from Bradbury Dam. Well production is curtailed whenever surface water is within 150 feet of a well.

Meridian Consultants 2 Solvang River Wells Project
January 2021 EIR Addendum Proposal
38 Current Water Right Permit Status
In May 2015, the City applied to the SWRCB to amend its permit and request a time extension. At that time, the City proposed to amend it Water Right Permit to withdraw a maximum of 1, 980 acre-feet per year (AFY) and divert up to five ( 5) cubic feet per second ( cfs) of river underflow, construct six ( 6) new river wells, and construct a new water treatment plant.

Currently, the City is no longer seeking a time extension and has elected to limit its proposed river well pumping to a maximum of 1, 368 AFY and its diversion rate to 2. 84 cfs with the provision to reduce this rate to 1. 0 cfs annually from February 14 to June 9, and cease pumping from existing Well 3 ( and 7A) if flows at the Alisal Bridge drop below 1. 5 cfs.

As noted in the prior EIR ( SCH No. 2011011007) for the 2011 Master Plan Update, the City proposed to install additional wells in the Santa Ynez River and pump the river underflow, which is within its rights under the existing Water Right Permit 15787.

Changes to the Approved Project
The City proposes to reduce the number of new wells considered in the 2011 Master Plan Update from six 6) to two ( 2) new river wells. The new wells would be set back approximately 50 feet from the north bank of the Santa Ynez River and approximately 3, 000 feet or more downstream of the Alisal Bridge, known herein as " Site B" ( this area was considered in the prior EIR ( SCH No. 2011011007) for the 2011 Master Plan Update). The two new wells would connect to a 12- inch diameter waterline to be constructed approximately 2, 000 feet in length) from the wells to the City' s existing water distribution system at the west end of Fjord Drive within existing and disturbed roadway right of way; the prior EIR considered the construction of the pipeline.

To avoid interference with the Alisal Ranch wells that typically pump at night, existing Well 3 would only be pumped during the day between the hours of 6 AM and 6 PM. The projected monthly water production from the two proposed wells would range from 40 to 160 acre- feet per month. The City maintains an easement for Well 5 ( that was destroyed) but does not intend to reconstruct this well or use this well site.

Upon completion of the two new wells, the City will abandon existing Well 7A located between Alisal Ranch and Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District, Improvement District No. 1 ( ID# 1) river wells.

Further, the previously planned water treatment plant identified in the 2011 Master Plan Update is no longer proposed.

Collectively, the proposed revisions to the amendments to the City' s Water Right 15787 are herein referred to as the " Proposed Revised Project."

PROPOSED REVISED PROJECT CEQA APPROACH
Based on the characteristics of the Proposed Revised Project and the associated discretionary actions, Meridian Consultants proposes to prepare an Addendum to the previously certified EIR for the 2011 Water System Master Plan Update (" Certified EIR").

Meridian Consultants 3 Solvang River Wells Project
January 2021 EIR Addendum Proposal
39 Under Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines,' an addendum to a previously certified EIR shall be prepared if some changes or additions to previously Certified EIRs are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the Final EIR. The City, as the decision making body, shall consider the addendum with the previously Certified EIR prior to making a decision on the project.

It our opinion than an Addendum to the Certified EIR can be prepared for the Proposed Revised Project in that:

1. The components of the Proposed Revised Project were fully evaluated in the Certified EIR,

2. The Proposed Revised Project reduces the total number of wells from six ( 6) to two ( 2), and the locations of the two new wells are part of the area evaluated (" Site B") in the Certified EIR,

3. Other components of the 2011 Master Update are the same ( abandon existing Well 7A located between Alisal Ranch and Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District, Improvement District No. 1 ( ID# 1) river wells) or no longer under consideration ( the previously planned water treatment plant is no longer proposed in the Proposed Revised Project).

However, as noted in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15162( a)( 3) 2 that addresses subsequent EIRs, new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete is now available and may have a bearing on the Proposed Revised Project.

This includes:

1. SWRCB' s Proposed Order amending the United States Bureau of Reclamation' s water right Permits 11308 and 11310 ( Applications 11331 and 11332) for the Cachuma project to protect public trust values and downstream water rights on the Santa Ynez River below Bradbury Dam Cachuma Reservoir), dated September 6, 2019 and

2. Endangered Species Act ( ESA) Section 7( a)( 2) Biological Opinion, NMFS Consultation Number WCRO- 2019- 11596 dated June 5, 2019.

These documents are summarized in Appendix A and notes that they could have an effect on the Proposed Revised Project that may result in one or more significant effects not discussed in the previously Certified EIR, and/ or significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previously Certified EIR.' As such, to proceed with an Addendum, a review of these documents should be completed by a qualified engineer and/ or groundwater specialist, and disclosed in the Addendum to assure that the conditions noted in the CEQA Guideline Section 15162( a)( 3)( A) and( B) do not apply. 1 California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA), Guidelines, Section 15164, Addendum to an EIR or Negative Declaration. z

Meridian Consultants 4 Solvang River Wells Project
January 2021 EIR Addendum Proposal
40 Evaluation of Potential Effects of the Proposed Revised Project Given the recent proceedings related to steelhead, the SWRCB proposed Cachuma Order, and the NMFS Biological Opinion that could affect the Proposed Revised Project, Meridian has determined that the potential effects should be examined by the City' s groundwater consultants, GSI Water Solutions, Inc. , and the following should be completed:

1. Brief review of the previously completed Stetson Technical Memos related to the City' s River Wells. Identify the most relevant Technical Memos and briefly explain how the City' s Proposed Revised Project will have fewer environmental effects than what was identified by the original Stetson analysis due to fewer wells and reduced maximum annual extraction from the River underflow. The Proposed Revised Project will reduce extraction from originally proposed 1, 980 AFY down to 1, 368 AFY, and reduce from two existing wells plus six new wells ( eight total) down to 1 existing plus two new wells ( three total) with existing Well 7A to be abandoned after completion of two new downstream wells.

2. Briefly discuss the SWRCB 2019 Cachuma Project Order. Identify that the Proposed Revised Project is consistent with that Order and explain how the Order will result in more releases from Lake Cachuma and thus fewer environmental effects from the Proposed Revised Project.

3. Briefly discuss the new NOAA- NMFS 2019 Southern California Biological and state that the Proposed Revised Project will not affect available surface flows in the Santa Ynez River. ( Note that in the Proposed Revised Project we will abandon Well 7A and cease pumping from Well 3 near the bridge) when flows at the Alisal Bridge drop below 1. 5 cfs.)

4. Note how the abandonment of Well 7A will positively affect river flows.

5. Note that the Proposed Revised Project' s river wells fall within the Central Management Area CMA) of the Santa Ynez River Valley Groundwater Basin and that the planned pumping from the proposed river wells will not adversely affect the CMA " sub -basin".

SCOPE OF WORK
This Scope of Work has been organized to follow the steps in the process as defined in the State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164, and on the project schedule below. Methodologies and work products are identified below for the following tasks:

Summary of Recent Regulatory Documents
2019 Proposed SWRCB Cachuma Project Order
The State Water Resources Control Board ( SWRCB) issued an order in 2019 ( 2019 order) that amended the terms and conditions of the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation' s ( Reclamation) permits for the Cachuma Project Permits 11308 and 11310 (Applications 11331 and 11332)) to protect public trust resources and downstream water rights on the Santa Ynez River below Bradbury Dam. The SWRCB also approved Reclamation' s petition to change the authorized place of use and purposes of use for Permits 11308 and 11310.

The construction and operation of the Cachuma Project, including Bradbury Dam and Cachuma Reservoir, has resulted in a reduction of water available to downstream water right holders and public trust resources. Since the SWRCB issued Permits 11308 and 11310 ( Permits) to Reclamation in 1958, the SWRCB has retained authority over the Permits to determine the requirements necessary to protect senior water rights downstream of Bradbury Dam and the public trust resources in the Santa Ynez River.

SWRCB' s Order WR 94- 5 established a deadline of December 1, 2000, to commence a hearing on the protection of downstream water right holders. The SWRCB held a hearings on that issue and on the issue of the measures needed to protect public trust resources in 2000, 2003, and 2012.

The Santa Ynez River provides habitat for the Southern California Distinct Population Segment of steelhead trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss) ( steelhead), which is listed as an endangered species under the federal Endangered Species Act ( ESA). The Cachuma Project has adversely affected the steelhead fishery by blocking access to the majority of suitable spawning and rearing habitat upstream, and by modifying flows in the mainstem of the lower Santa Ynez River ( mainstem) below Bradbury Dam to the point that the survival of the species is uncertain. Currently, Reclamation operates and maintains Bradbury Dam on the Santa Ynez River in accordance with a Biological Opinion issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service ( NMFS) on September 11, 2000 ( 2000 Biological Opinion) pursuant to Section 7 of the federal ESA.

Even though Reclamation has operated and maintained Bradbury Dam in accordance with the 2000 Biological Opinion for more than a decade, the steelhead population in the Santa Ynez River remains at a critically low level. The hearing record supports the conclusion that the population is unlikely to be restored to a sustainable level unless the amount of suitable spawning and rearing habitat to which the steelhead have access is increased. The hearing record supports the conclusion that higher flows are likely to benefit steelhead by providing additional spawning and rearing habitat as well as increasing passage opportunities in the lower mainstem river. At the same time, the record supports the need for development of additional information and adaptive management of flows to maximize the benefits of those flows to steelhead and avoid potential impacts during implementation. Weighing the competing uses of water, the SWRCB has found that it is necessary to protect and improve the critical condition of the remnant Santa Ynez River watershed steelhead population. Therefore, the SWRCB' s 2019 order requires Reclamation to provide higher flows under an Meridian Consultants Appendix Page 1 Solvang River Wells Project January 2021 EIR Addendum Proposal Appendix
46 adaptive management process during wet and above normal years when the water supply impacts of such flows would be minimized ( Alternative 5C from the SWRCB' s 2011 Final Environmental Impact Report).

Even though the higher flows will only be provided in wet and above normal water years these higher instream flow requirements may increase, to some extent, projected water supply shortages during critically dry periods for those who rely on Cachuma Project water. These shortages are in addition to those already caused by implementation of the 2000 Biological Opinion. As a result, additional water conservation and increased reliance on alternative water supplies may be necessary to compensate for future shortages during critically dry periods.

In coordination with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife ( CDFW) and NMFS, Reclamation are to study the effects of the increased flows on steelhead to verify the amount of additional habitat provided by the flows and determine whether a different release schedule would be more beneficial to the fishery. In the unlikely event the results of the study demonstrate that the flows do not provide benefit to the steelhead fishery or are likely to harm the fishery, the SWRCB' s 2019 order reserves the SWCRB' s authority to reduce the required instream flows.

Although additional flows are necessary, the evidence in the record indicates that increasing flows will not be sufficient, without additional measures, to restore the steelhead fishery to good condition. Specifically, passage around Bradbury Dam, where the majority of the historic spawning and rearing habitat occurred and still persists, and other habitat restoration actions by other agencies and private and public interests to address the ecosystem as a whole will be necessary to solve this complex problem of restoring viable steelhead runs in the Santa Ynez River watershed. To improve the state of knowledge concerning the measures necessary to protect the steelhead fishery, the 2019 SWRCB' s order also requires Reclamation to study the feasibility of additional measures that may be necessary to restore the fishery, including the feasibility of providing fish passage around Bradbury Dam.

The Cachuma Project contractors and downstream water right holders reached a settlement agreement that resolved actual and potential disputes that existed among the parties relative to the obligation of Reclamation to make releases from Bradbury Dam for the protection of downstream water rights and water quality.

Reclamation requested that the SWRCB amend its Permits to be consistent with this agreement; the SWRCB' s 2019 order amended Reclamation' s Permits to be consistent with its request. The agreement between the SWRCB and the operators of Bradbury Dam assumes specific operating criteria, currently in place, will govern fish flows below Bradbury Dam. However, he SWRCB' s 2019 order requires additional releases for the protection of public trust resources. The parties may need to negotiate changes to the settlement agreement in light of the releases for steelhead required by the SWRCB' s 2019 order. As such, the SWRCB' s 2019 order reserves the SWRCB' s authority to make any amendments to the Permits that may be necessary based on any changes to the agreement.
2019 Endangered Species Act ( ESA) Section 7( a)( 2) Biological Opinion On November 15, 2018, National Marine Fisheries Service ( NMFS) received an application from NMFS' California Coastal Office in Long Beach ( applicant) to renew an ESA Section 10 Enhancement of Survival permit for the endangered Southern California ( SC) Distinct Population Segment ( DPS) of steelhead ( Oncorhynchus mykiss). Although the proposed activities of the application are for the purpose of enhancing the conservation Meridian Consultants Appendix Page 2 Solvang River Wells Project January 2021 EIR Addendum Proposal Appendix
47 of endangered steelhead, the activities would nonetheless result in take of the species. Accordingly, NMFS prepared a biological opinion to assess the effects of authorizing the requested type and amount of take on the SC DPS. The biological opinion is based on the best scientific and commercial data available, including the description of the enhancement activities ( NMFS 2018), a knowledge of and experience in the watershed and streams where the enhancement activities will be conducted, and expected effects of the activities on steelhead. The biological opinion and incidental take statement ( ITS) were prepared in accordance with Section 7( b) of the Endangered Species Act ( ESA) of 1973 ( 16 USC 1531 et seq.), and implementing regulations at 50 CFR 402.

The proposed federal actions considered in the biological opinion involve NMFS renewing a 10- year research and enhancement permit 14159- 2R for the applicant; the current 10- year permit (# 14159) expired on December 31, 2019. The applicant requested non -lethal take of juvenile and adult steelhead, intentional lethal take of fry, and permission to recover carcasses.

Action area" means all areas to be affected directly or indirectly by the Federal action and not merely the immediate area involved in the action ( 50 CFR 402. 02). The proposed action' s Action are will take place throughout the entire range of the SC DPS which includes coastal streams from the Santa Maria River to the Mexican border, including the Santa Ynez River.

Based on a review of reports specific to many coastal streams and major rivers within the entire SC DPS, NMFS' familiarity with activities occurring in the action area, and the reported effects of habitat changes or alterations on the aquatic environment, evidence indicates a number of past and present anthropogenic activities have reduced the quality and quantity of habitat within the action area and killed steelhead. These activities involve construction and operation of water storage and diversion facilities, conversion of wildlands, wastewater release to the river, land -use activities, and groundwater pumping. While some activities are upstream of the action area, the activities adversely affect steelhead in the action area ( e. g., in the case of land -use activities causing input of sand and smaller particles to habitats within the action area, or in the case of a surface -water diversion reducing discharge in the action area).

Surface and groundwater pumping can have impacts on steelhead and their habitat in many coastal streams e. g., Gato Creek, San Ysidro Creek, Carpinteria Creek, Gobernador Creek, Rincon Creek, Romero Creek, Montecito Creek) and larger river systems ( e. g., Santa Maria River, Santa Ynez River, Ventura River, Santa Clara River). In some cases, NMFS' opinion is that these pumping operations have reduced available surface flows and even dried portions of streams, thereby reducing available habitat quantity and quality for rearing steelhead. In many watersheds there are certain portions of the stream that dry naturally, yearly.

Further, a significant conclusion is that " local groundwater pumping over the last 100 years has severely depleted groundwater basins and reduced the frequency and duration of surface flows, with subsequent effects on steelhead trout migration and rearing". Historical accounts in several SC DPS river systems indicate mainstem flows may have been present year round, suggesting the availability of over -summering habitat freshwater rearing sites) for juvenile steelhead in the mainstem. That juvenile steelhead historically reared in mainstem habitats would not be unexpected because such habitat use has been reported in other studies.

Given the functional value of mainstem river and coastal stream habitats in the ecology of steelhead, loss of Meridian Consultants Appendix Page 3 Solvang River Wells Project January 2021 EIR Addendum Proposal Appendix
48 critical habitat such as freshwater rearing sites, through surface and groundwater pumping, is considered unfavorable for the conservation of steelhead. Reductions in the frequency and duration of surface -flow connectivity between tributaries and the mainstem river, and within the river itself, increase the potential for disrupting emigration of juvenile steelhead

Attn: Matt van der Linden, Public Works Director/ City Engineer Subject: Request for Contract Amendment No. 1 for Additional Professional Services Wastewater Treatment Plant Water Quality Project
Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration
Dear Matt,
Per our discussion on October 17, 2019, Meridian Consultants ( Meridian) is submitting this amendment to our current agreement with the City of Solvang (" City' s") Public Works Department forthe Wastewater Treatment Plant Water Quality Project ( Project). As part of our contract with the City, PaleoWest Archaeology LLC ( PaleoWest) is providing cultural resource expertise and Pax Environmental Inc. ( Pax) is providing biological resource expertise for the Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration ( IS/ MND) to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

On October 17, 2019, the City conceptually identified a recycled water design component that would potentially be added to the Project. The Project includes physical treatment improvements to furthertreat wastewater effluent to meet the regional water quality control board discharge requirements. As a result, the effluent that would be discharged into the settling ponds would be one step away from water that meets the standards for recycled water. Thus, as part of the Project, the City would consider providing for additional infrastructure improvements onsite in orderto develop recycled water quality effluent. The City would also consider constructing a recycled water pipeline from the project site east through the adjacent agricultural field towards Alisal Road.

The recycled water pipeline is preliminary in design; thus, this contract amendment provides two options to provide additional technical expertise to support the IS/ MND. At the request of the- Public Works Director, the change in the Project will require the following to be conducted: ( 1) update the completed project description based on the new recycled water pipeline alignment, including graphics; ( 2) update the completed : technical studies, such as biological resources and cultural resources to support the IS/ MND; and ( 3) provide additional project management services to coordinate the modifications to these technical studies.

The total subconsultant allowance for Task 3 of the original contract is $ 16, 000. 00. Change Order No. 1 is for an additional $ 8, 825. 00 with alignment only and $ 9, 275. 00 with entire eastern ag area for the additional biological. services ( update report with latest wildlife species, list and survey and cultural services ( update report with new survey.area and records search). The alignment only option would cover a survey area of approximately 10 additional acres, while the entire eastern ag area would cover a survey area of approximately 80 acres. The increase in the survey area for both the biological and cultural services results in an increased work effort to update the existing technical studies. Additional options have also been provided based on various levels of work effort. The Task 3 budget would increase to $,24,825. 00 with alignment only and $ 28, 875. 00 with entire eastern ag area.

The following detail these amounts:

Task 3: Technical Studies
PaleoWest— Cultural alignment only $ 6, 175. 00
PaleoWest— Cultural entire area $ 9, 275. 00
Pax - Biological alignment only $ 2, 650. 00
Pax — Biological entire area $ 3, 600. 00
Total Sub -Consultants alignment only $ 8,825.00
Total Sub -Consultants entire area $ 9,275. 00
The original contract included $ 3, 345. 00 for Task 2: Project Description which involved the preparation of the project description for City staff review. Based on the, change in project description, Meridian will need to update the drafted IS/ MND project description and update the technical analysis to incorporate subconsultant technical documentation. Based on this anticipated work effort, Meridian requests an increase to Task 2 of $1, 240. 00. The revised Task 2 budget would be $ 4, 585. 00.

The original contract included $ 1, 860.00 for Task 11: Project Management to manage the preparation of the IS/ MND and coordinate with other team members. Change Order No. 1 is for additional coordination needed for this latest management effort, and Meridian requests an increase to Task 11 of $930. 00. The revised Task 11 budget would be $ 2, 170. 00.

The following details these amounts:

Meridian Labor Tasks
Update IS/ MND Project Description ( Task 2) $ 1,240. 00 Additional Proiect Management ( Task 11) $ 930. 00

PROJECT SCHEDULE
64 Proposal for City ofSolvang WWTP Water Quality Project Project -related meetings with City staff and outside entities to ensure a complete administrative record is maintained.

Finally, this approach would ensure that City adopts the Initial Study, CEQA Determination, and Mitigation Monitoring Program ( MMP) by the summer of 2020.

The scope of work for services to be provided by Meridian Consultants is described below. cask 1: Project Kickoff Meeting
The Meridian Consultants Principal -in -Charge and Project Manager will attend a kickoff meeting with City staff to review Project tasks, schedule, and existing documents and data; address questions and data needs; and visit the proposed Project site.

Deliverables:

Meeting Minutes
Task 2: Prepare Project Description
Meridian Consultants will prepare the Project description to be included with the Initial Study. Meridian Consultants will coordinate with the City to define the Project objectives, utilize the preliminary design plan prepared by the City to fully define the Project, and develop a construction scenario for use in support of technical analyses, including those for air quality and GHG emissions, noise, biological resources, and cultural resources.

The top two alternatives being considered at this time are Alternative 2a -- Addition of Clarifiers, and Alternative 3 — Conversion to Membrane Bio Reactors. The alternatives require expanding the existing

17. 28 acre Plant site by a maximum of 2. 3 acres, and increasing the capacity to a maximum of 2. 0 MGD.

The CEQA review will consider all three alternatives with the most intensive being the baseline.

As required by CEQA, the Project location, type oftreatment facilities to be constructed, and staging areas to be used during construction will be identified to provide a fully defined Project.

Deliverables:
o Draft and Final Project Description
Task 3: Preparation of Technical Studies
As part of the Project, technical studies for biological resources and cultural resources will be prepared.

Meridian Consultants will coordinate the preparation of technical studies to assess potential environmental impacts as warranted by the Project, including biological resources and cultural resources.

3.1 Biological Assessment
Meridian Consultants will coordinate the preparation of the biological resources assessment with Pax Environmental to complete a Biological Assessment and Report to support a CEQA Determination and MMP for the WWTP Water Quality Project.

Desktop Review
To determine if sensitive natural resources occur in the 0.8 acres of Project area, a database and literature review will be conducted. These databases and literature will include but not be limited to the California Meridian Consultants 19 1 P a g e
March 2Z 2019
65 Proposal for City of Solvang WWTP Water Quality Project Natural Diversity Database;, the California Native Plant Society' s Rare Plant Inventory; the USFWS Critical Habitat Mapper and Wetlands Mapper; and the eBird database.

Biological Assessment and Tree Survey
A PAX senior biologist will conduct a biological assessment and tree survey at the WWTP.

If special -status plants and wildlife or -their habitat are observed, they will be recorded and mapped. All plant and wildlife taxa encountered. during the reconnaissance - level survey will be identified to species level and included in the Biological Assessment and Report. Additionally, Pax will determine the type of plant communities, wildlife habitat, and other biological resources that may be disturbed by the tree removal and road construction activities, and will identify/ quantify those impacts (acreage) with detailed GIS mapping. For each impact identified, PAX will suggest mitigation measures. Pax will also identify any potential area ofjurisdiction for the Waters of US or CDFW within the impact area. This will not be a formal jurisdictional delineation.

Pax has integrated field data collection, with the ESRI Collector application platform. Collecting data will be done live, and with a robust schema, using this technology. Because this technology enables PAX staff to collect data anywhere with login via cellphone or tablet, team members are also able to send updates of Project areas and corridors in real- time to the Project team. Paired with the Juniper Geode GLASS Bluetooth receiver, Pax will capture detailed tree information with submeter accuracy. The Pax biologist will photograph and geo locate the 15 pepper trees and 3 coast live oaks planned for removal. Tree diameter at breast height ( DBH), health, canopy width, and other characteristics will be recorded.

Biological Report
Pax will deliver a Biological Assessment and Report that summarizes the field survey findings. The report will follow all applicable City of Solvang guidelines and requirements. All biological resources encountered during the fieldwork will be identified to species level, as applicable. The locations of special -status species will be presented visually in easily understood figures and graphics. Otherwildlife species identified during the reconnaissance - level survey will be identified in tabular form. The tree inventory report will detail specific locations of the trees, species type, DBH, health, canopy width, and other characteristics.

Deliverables:

One ( 1) electronic copy and two ( 2) hard copies ( one unbound and reproducible) of the draft Biological Assessment and Report

3.2 Cultural Resource.

Meridian Consultants will coordinate the preparation of a Phase I Cultural Resources Study for the proposed Project with PaleoWest Archaeology. PaleoWest proposes to complete the following cultural resource tasks:

Archival and Records Research
PaleoWest will consult the California Historical Resources Information System at the CCIC to conduct a records search ofthe Project area. For purposes ofthis Project, this search will encompass a 1- mile radius of the Project area. Copies of all previously recorded cultural resources records and relevant cultural resource reports within the search area will be obtained. PaleoWest will inspect any historical maps and aerials, USGS survey plats, and Government Land Office plats that depict the Project area.

March 22, 2019
66 Native American Outreach
PaleoWest will contact the Native American Heritage Commission ( NAHC) for a search of the Sacred Lands File ( SLF) of the Project area. PaleoWest will also coordinate with Meridian Consultants to contact individuals listed on the Native American Contact List provided by the NAHC for the Project. Coordination with these individuals will be initiated by letter/ email, followed by telephone contact. This task is completed as part of the CEQA due diligence process and is not associated with Assembly Bill ( AB) 52 consultation efforts.
pieldwork
PaleoWest will conduct a cultural resource survey of the Project area. The cultural resource survey will entail an intensive pedestrian survey of the proposed Project area ( not to exceed 6 acres). Survey transect spacing will range from 10 to 15 meters ( 30 to 50 feet). During the survey, all landforms likely to contain or exhibit archaeological or historical sites will be inspected carefully to ensure that visible, potentially important cultural resources are identified and documented. Additionally, the surveyor( s) will investigate any unusual contours, soil changes, distinctive vegetation patterns, features ( e. g., road cuts, ditches, and stream cuts), and other potential cultural site markers.

Reporting
PaleoWest will prepare the Phase I Cultural Resources Study in compliance with CEQA standards. The report will include a Project description, background and historic context, methods, survey results, and recommendations for additional cultural resource management, if necessary. The cultural resource technical report will also incorporate the results of the CCIC records search and the SLF search from the NAHC. As required, a copy of the report will be submitted to the CCIC.

Deliverables:

One ( 1) electronic copy and two ( 2) hard copies ( one unbound and reproducible) of the Draft Phase I Cultural Resources Study
One ( 1) electronic copy and two ( 2) hard copies ( one unbound and reproducible) of the Final Phase I Cultural Resources Study
Task 4: AB 52 Tribal Consultation
In accordance with requirements set forth in AB 52 ( Public Resources Code Section 21080. 3. 1( d)), tribal consultation will be required. AB 52 establishes a formal consultation process for California tribes as part of CEQA. AB 52 applies to any project that have a notice of preparation or notice of negative declaration/ mitigated negative declaration has been filed. Meridian Consultants will work with the City to comply with AB 52.

Meridian Consultants, in coordination with PaleoWest, will contact the NAHC for a full list of tribes that may require consultation. This will supplement any list of tribes the City may have that have requested consultation of City projects. The Project is located in an area for which the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, as a local native American tribe, has requested it be consulted with respect to proposed projects under AB 52.

Meridian Consultants will provide to the City letter(s) that can be sent to tribes requesting consultation.

Should any tribes request consultation, Meridian Consultants will schedule and attend a consultation meeting.

Consultants will prepare afirst draft Initial Study/ MND for the Project using the latest standard Initial Study checklist form appended tothe 2019 CEQA Guidelines. Analysis will be provided for each of the environmental topics inthe Initial Study checklist form toexplain and justify each "No Impact," "Less than Significant Impact" "Potential Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated," and "Potential Significant Impact" answer checked in response toeach question. As appropriate, Meridian Consultants will utilize the Environmental Thresholds and Guidelines Manual prepared bythe County of Santa Barbara to provide additional analysis in response to each checklist question. The Initial Study will include adescription, based on information provided by the Project team, of the proposed WWTP improvements. Meridian Consultants will coordinate with the Project team todevelop a full description addressing the proposed design and construction ofthe new facilities. In addition, all discretionary actions requiring approval by the City and other agencies will be identified and described. Meridian Consultants will perform existing noise measurements aroundthesite todeterminethe ambient noise level ofthe surrounding area. The ambient noise level will be used toanalyze potential construction - related noise impacts. To
provide the technical information required toanswer the Initial Study —Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas questions at a level that will meet the standards ofthe Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District, Meridian Consultants will prepare atechnical air quality analysis. As part ofthis analysis, potential energy impacts will be analyzed inthe Utilities and Service Systems section inaccordance with Appendix F of the CEQA Guidelines. Based
on our past experience inthe local area with other similarwater infrastructure projects, we propose that a traffic consultant will not need to be retained to address the Traffic/ Transportation impacts. Because the Project will not generate new trips but rather require traffic controls during construction, Traffic/ Transportation impacts could be addressed qualitatively. Meridian Consultants will prepare adraft Initial Study forreview by the Project team. Deliverables:
