SECTION 1
CEQA Review Process
Project Title: Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
1.1 California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines
Section 15063 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines requires that the Lead Agency prepare an Initial Study to determine whether a discretionary project will have a significant effect on the environment. All phases of the project planning, implementation, and operation must be considered in the Initial Study. The purposes of an Initial Study, as listed under Section 15063(c) of the CEQA Guidelines, include:
1) Provide the lead agency with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an EIR or negative declaration;
2) Enable an applicant or lead agency to modify a project, mitigating adverse impacts before an EIR is prepared, thereby enabling the project to qualify for a negative declaration; 3) Assist the preparation of an EIR, if one is required, by:
a) Focusing the EIR on the effects determined to be significant, b) Identifying the effects determined not to be significant, c) Explaining the reasons for determining that potentially significant effects would not be significant, and
d) Identifying whether a program EIR, tiering, or another appropriate process can be used for analysis of the project's environmental effects.
4) Facilitate environmental assessment early in the design of a project; 5) Provide documentation of the factual basis for the finding in a negative declaration that a project will not have a significant effect on the environment
6) Eliminate unnecessary EIRs;
7) Determine whether a previously prepared EIR could be used with the project.
1.2 Initial Study
The Initial Study provided herein covers the potential environmental effects of the proposed reconstruction of approximately 0.75 mile of existing roadway to accommodate a 4-lane arterial street.
The City of Visalia will act as the Lead Agency for processing the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines.
1.3 Environmental Checklist
The Lead Agency may use the CEQA Environmental Checklist Form [CEQA Guidelines, Section 15063(d)(3) and (f)] in preparation of an Initial Study to provide information for determination if there are significant 1-2
Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Coneyr)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 effects of the project on the environment. A copy of the completed Environmental Checklist is set forth in Section Three.
1.4 Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration
The Lead Agency shall provide a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15072) to the public, responsible agencies, trustee agencies and the County Clerk within which the project is located, sufficiently prior to adoption by the Lead Agency of the Negative Declaration to allow the public and agencies the review period. The public review period (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15105) shall not be less than 30 days when the Initial Study/Negative Declaration is submitted to the State Clearinghouse unless a shorter period, not less than 20 days, is approved by the State Clearinghouse.
Prior to approving the project, the Lead Agency shall consider the proposed Negative Declaration together with any comments received during the public review process, and shall adopt the proposed Negative Declaration only if it finds on the basis of the whole record before it, that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment and that the Negative Declaration reflects the Lead Agency’s independent judgment and analysis.
The written and oral comments received during the public review period will be considered by The City of Visalia prior to adopting the Negative Declaration. Regardless of the type of CEQA document that must be prepared, the overall purpose of the CEQA process is to:
1) Assure that the environment and public health and safety are protected in the face of discretionary projects initiated by public agencies or private concerns; 2) Provide for full disclosure of the project’s environmental effects to the public, the agency decisionmakers who will approve or deny the project, and the responsible trustee agencies charged with managing resources (e.g. wildlife, air quality) that may be affected by the project; and 3) Provide a forum for public participation in the decision-making process pertaining to potential environmental effects.
According to Section 15070(a) a public agency shall prepare or have prepared a proposed negative declaration for a project subject to CEQA when:
The initial study shows that there is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the project may have a significant effect on the environment.
Less than significant impacts with mitigation measures have been identified.
The Environmental Checklist Discussion contained in Section Three of this document has determined that the environmental impacts of the project are less than significant with mitigation measures and that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is adequate for adoption by the Lead Agency.
1.5 Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration The Lead Agency shall prepare or have prepared a proposed Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration (CEQA Guidelines Section 15070) for a project subject to CEQA when the Initial Study shows that there is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration circulated for public review shall include the following:
1-3
Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Coneyr)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 a) A brief description of the project, including a commonly used name for the project. b) The location of the project, preferably shown on a map. c) A proposed finding that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. d) An attached copy of the Initial Study documenting reasons to support the finding. e) Mitigation measures, if any.
1.6 Intended Uses of Initial Study/Negative Declaration documents The Initial Study/Negative Declaration document is an informational document that is intended to inform decision-makers, other responsible or interested agencies, and the general public of potential environmental effects of the proposed project. The environmental review process has been established to enable the public agencies to evaluate environmental consequences and to examine and implement methods of eliminating or reducing any adverse impacts. While CEQA requires that consideration be given to avoiding environmental damage, the Lead Agency must balance any potential environmental effects against other public objectives, including economic and social goals. The City of Visalia, as Lead Agency, will make a determination, based on the environmental review for the Environmental Study, Initial Study and comments from the general public, if there are less than significant impacts from the proposed project and the requirements of CEQA can be met by adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration.
1.7 Notice of Determination (NOD)
The Lead Agency shall file a Notice of Determination within five working days after deciding to approve the project. The Notice of Determination (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15075) shall include the following:
1) An identification of the project including the project title as identified on the proposed negative declaration, its location, and the State Clearinghouse identification number for the proposed negative declaration if the notice of determination is filed with the State Clearinghouse. 2) A brief description of the project.
3) The agency's name and the date on which the agency approved the project. 4) The determination of the agency that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment.
5) A statement that a negative declaration or a mitigated negative declaration was adopted pursuant to the provisions of CEQA.
6) A statement indicating whether mitigation measures were made a condition of the approval of the project, and whether a mitigation monitoring plan/program was adopted. 7) The address where a copy of the negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration may be examined.
8) The identity of the person undertaking a project which is supported, in whole or in part, through contracts, grants, subsidies, loans, or other forms of assistance from one or more public agencies or the identity of the person receiving a lease, permit, license, certificate, or other entitlement for use from one or more public agencies.

Project Description
Project Title: Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
2.1 Project Description & Purpose
The proposed project involves the reconstruction of 0.75 miles of existing roadway between N Mooney Blvd and Conyer Streetto accommodate a 4-lane arterial street with 110’ total ROW. Improvements would include new 12’ vehicular travel lanes (4 lanes total), a new Class IV bike lane along the north side of Riggin Avenue, new street lighting, new landscaped medians, four new bus turnouts, new fire hydrants, and curb returns at all involved intersections. A typical cross section detail is provided below (Figure 2-1).
Construction would require demolition of existing asphalt between Mooney and Conyer, removal of two trees on the north side of Riggin, removal/replacement of one drive approach, and relocation of 11 power poles. Construction is proposed to begin July 2023 and continue through August 2024. Maps showing project layout and regional location are provided in Figures 2-2 and 2-3. Detailed improvement plans are provided in Appendix D.
Figure 2-1. Typical Cross Section Detail.
Southern California Edison Scope of Work
Southern California Edison Company (SCE) will relocate approximately 2,500 feet of the existing RectorRiverway 66kV subtransmission line and associated 12kV distribution line and telecommunications fiber comprising a total of 10 poles. The westernmost pole requiring relocation is located approximately 650 feet east of Mooney Boulevard and the easternmost pole for relocation is located approximately 130 feet east of Giddings Street. The existing alignment is located within franchise right (8 poles) and within a joint-use agreement (2 poles) along Riggin Avenue, primarily on the north side of the street. The rights will remain the same once the poles are relocated.
2-2
Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 The scope of work includes SCE or SCE-contracted crews:
• Relocating a total of 10 existing wood poles ranging in total pole height from 55 to 75 feet (above ground height range is from 47 to 65 feet) and replacing them with 10 new wood poles ranging in total pole height between 75 and 80 feet (above ground height range is from 65 to 70 feet).
• Removing two existing 35-foot guy stub pole and anchors. • Removing one 40-foot distribution pole.
• Removing and replacing along the 2,500-foot alignment 653 aluminum conductor steel reinforced (ASCR) subtransmission conductor with new 653 ASCR conductor. • Either transferring existing 12kV distribution lines to the new poles or removing and reinstalling new 12kV distribution conductor.
• Transfer of existing telecommunications lines to the new poles.
Ground disturbance will include excavation by machine-mounted auger measuring approximately 2-3 feet in diameter and 8-11 feet deep to both remove the existing poles and anchors and to install the new relocated poles. The 66kV subtransmission conductor, and if not transferred, the 12kV distribution conductor will be removed and installed with stringing equipment (cable puller) on the new, relocated pole alignment. For transfer of the telecommunications fiber and if the 12kV distribution will be transferred, transfer includes smaller wire stringing equipment. Work activities will generally take place within a 50-foot buffer around the existing poles and new pole relocation areas and downline, parallel along the alignment with trucks and equipment on the north side of the alignment and south of the alignment on Riggin Road. Ground disturbance will be minimal and not exceed one (1) acre. Minimal trimming of trees using hand tools may be required for a few pole relocations. The construction duration of SCE’s scope of work is expected to take approximately three months.

Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Project Title: Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer) This document is the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proposed reconstruction of approximately 0.75 miles of existing roadway to accommodate a 4-lane arterial street. The proposed project site is located within the City of Visalia. The City of Visalia will act as the Lead Agency for this project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines.
3.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this environmental document is to implement the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Section 15002(a) of the CEQA Guidelines describes the basic purposes of CEQA as follows. (1) Inform governmental decision-makers and the public about the potential, significant environmental effects of proposed activities.
(2) Identify the ways that environmental damage can be avoided or significantly reduced. (3) Prevent significant, avoidable damage to the environment by requiring changes in projects through the use of alternatives or mitigation measures when the governmental agency finds the changes to be feasible.
(4) Disclose to the public the reasons why a governmental agency approved the project in the manner the agency chose if significant environmental effects are involved.
This Initial Study of environmental impacts has been prepared to conform to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq.).
According to Section 15070(a), a Negative Declaration is appropriate if it is determined that:

3.3 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that are adequately support by the information sources a lead agency cites, in the parentheses following each question. A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the reference information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A “No Impact” answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis).
2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts.
3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. “Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more “Potentially Significant Impact” entries when the determination is made, an EIR if required.
4. “Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to a “Less Than Significant Impact.” The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from “Earlier Analyses,” as described in (5) below, may be cross-referenced).
5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequate analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c) (3)(D).
In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following. a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are “Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated.” Describe and mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated.

3.4 ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED
The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a “Potentially Significant Impact” as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. Aesthetics Greenhouse Gas Emissions Public Services Agriculture and Forest Resources Hazards and Hazardous Materials Recreation Air Quality Hydrology and Water Quality Transportation Biological Resources Land Use and Planning Utilities and Service System Cultural Resources Mineral Resources Wildfire
Energy Noise Mandatory Findings of
Geology and soils Population Significance
DETERMINATION: (To be completed by the Lead Agency) Where potential impacts are anticipated to be significant, mitigation measures will be required, so that impacts may be avoided or reduced to insignificant levels.
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a “potentially significant impact” or “potentially significant unless mitigated” impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. A Negative Declaration is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is requested. _____________________________________________ ________ ______________________

a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic
vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic resources,
including, but not limited to, trees, rock
outcroppings, and historic buildings within state
scenic highway?
c) In non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade
the existing visual character or quality of public
views of the site and its surroundings? (Public
views are those that are experienced from a
publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is
in an urbanized area, would the project conflict
with applicable zoning and other regulations
governing scenic quality?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or
glare which would adversely affect day or
nighttime views in the area?
Environmental Setting
There are no aesthetic resources identified in the City of Visalia General Plan; however, the views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains are considered to be an important scenic vista in Tulare County.
Sierra Nevada Mountains: The Sierra Nevada mountain range and its foothills stretch along the east area of the county and are a valuable aesthetic resource. Additionally, Sequoia National Park is located within the stretch of the Sierra Nevada Mountains located in Tulare County. Sequoia National Forest is a U.S.
National Forest known for its mountain scenery and natural resources. Located directly north of Sequoia National Park is Kings Canyon National Park, a U.S. National Park also known for its towering sequoia trees and scenic vistas. The Sierra Nevada Mountains are approximately 17 miles east of the proposed project site but views of the mountains are not visible on most days due to poor air quality.
The following photos demonstrate the aesthetic character of the project area. As shown, the proposed project site is located in a relatively flat area with primarily agricultural uses. 3-9

Regulatory Setting
State Scenic Highways: The State Scenic Highway Program is implemented by Caltrans and was developed to preserve the aesthetic quality of certain highway corridors. Highways included in this program are designated as scenic highways. A highway is designated as scenic based on how much of the natural landscape is visible to travelers, the quality of that landscape, and the extent to which development obstructs views of the landscape. The 44-mile stretch of State Route 198 between State Route 99 and Sequoia National Park is classified as eligible for State Scenic Highway status, but is not officially designated. There are no designated State Scenic Highways within the City of Visalia.
City of Visalia General Plan: The City of Visalia General Plan includes the following goals and policies that are intended to protect the City’s aesthetic resources that are applicable to the proposed project:
• LU-O-15 Maintain and enhance Visalia’s physical diversity, visual qualities and small-town characteristics.
• LU-P-37 Adopt specific development standards for scenic entryways (gateways) and roadway corridors into the City, including special setback and landscape standards, open space and park 3-10

These standards will apply to the west and east entries into Visalia along Highway 198 and to the “gateway boulevards” identified in the Transportation Element: Caldwell and Riggin Avenues; Shirk Road; and Lovers Lane • LU-P-42 Develop scenic corridor and gateway guidelines that will maintain the agricultural character of Visalia at its urban fringe.
Discussion
a) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? No Impact: A scenic vista is defined as a viewpoint that provides expansive views of highly valued landscape for the benefit of the general public. The Sierra Nevada Mountains are the primary scenic vista within this region and the Land Use Element of the City’s General Plan states that view corridors to the mountains should be preserved. The foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains are approximately 17 miles east of the proposed project site, however views of the mountains are not visible on most days due to poor air quality. The proposed project would not result in any vertical construction that could effect views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains or any other scenic vista. There is no impact.
b) Would the project substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within state scenic highway? No Impact: There are no Officially Designated State Scenic Highways within the City of Visalia.
Highway 198 is the nearest Eligible State Scenic Highway and is located approximately 2 miles south of the project site. Significant urban development between the project site and Highway 198 completely eliminates visibility of the project site from the highway. There is no impact. c) In non-urbanized areas, would the project substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from a publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality? No Impact: The proposed project site is located in an urbanized area characterized by residential and commercial development. The Project is consistent with the City’s General Plan, which classifies the road as a future arterial. All proposed improvements will be done in accordance with City development standards and will not affect the surrounding visual character. There is no impact. d) Would the project create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
Less than Significant Impact: The proposed project would result in new street lighting consistent with the City’s development standards, which are developed to minimize impacts related to excessive light and glare. The impacts are less than significant.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 Environmental Setting
Agriculture is a vital component of the City of Visalia’s economy and is a significant source of the City’s cultural identity. As such, preserving the productivity of agricultural lands is integral to maintaining the City’s culture and economic viability.
The proposed project site is designated as Prime Farmland and Confined Animal Agriculture under the Important Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program, however the site is located within the public Right-of-Way and would not impact farming activities.
Regulatory Setting
California Land Conservation Act of 1965: The California Land Conservation Act of 1965, commonly referred to as the Williamson Act, allows local governments to enter into contracts with private landowners to restrict the activities on specific parcels of land to agricultural or open space uses. The landowners benefit from the contract by receiving greatly reduced property tax assessments. The California Land Conservation Act is overseen by the California Department of Conservation; however local governments are responsible for determining specific allowed uses and enforcing the contract.
California Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP): The FMMP is implemented by the California Department of Conservation (DOC) to conserve and protect agricultural lands within the State.
Land is included in this program based on soil type, annual crop yields, and other factors that influence the quality of farmland. The FMMP mapping categories for the most important statewide farmland are as follows:
• Prime Farmland has the ideal physical and chemical composition for crop production. It has been used for irrigated production in the four years prior to classification and is capable of producing sustained yields.
• Farmland of Statewide Importance has also been used for irrigated production in the four years prior to classification and is only slightly poorer quality than Prime Farmland. • Unique Farmland has been cropped in the four years prior to classification and does not meet the criteria for Prime Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance but has produced specific crops with high economic value.
• Farmland of Local Importance encompasses farmland that does not meet the criteria for the previous three categories. These may lack irrigation, produce major crops, be zoned as agricultural, and/or support dairy.
• Grazing Land has vegetation that is suitable for grazing livestock. 3-13

a) Would the project convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? No Impact: The proposed project site is designated as Urban and Built-Up land by the California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program. While areas to the north of the site are designated as Prime Farmland, these have been previously approved for residential development so the Project would not be the cause of these lands being converted to non-agricultural use. There is no impact.
b) Would the project conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act Contract? No Impact: The proposed project site is within the public ROW and is therefore not zoned for agricultural use or under a Williamson Act Contract. There is no impact. c) Would the project conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g)?
No Impact: The project site located within the public ROW and is therefore not zoned for forest or timberland production. There is no impact.
d) Would the project result in the loss of forestland or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? No Impact: The proposed project site is located within the public ROW and would not convert forestland to non-forest use. There is no impact.
e) Would the project involve other changes in the existing environment, which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forestland to non-forest use?
No Impact: As discussed above, the proposed project site is located within the public ROW. The Project is adjacent to existing farmlands, however these lands have been previously approved for residential development and the project would not cause them to convert to non-agricultural uses.
There is no impact.

Environmental Setting
Air pollution is directly related to regional topography. Topographic features can either stimulate the movement of air or restrict air movement. California is divided into regional air basins based on topographic air drainage features. The proposed project site is within the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin, which is bordered by the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the east, Coastal Ranges to the west, and the Tehachapi Mountains to the south. The mountain ranges surrounding the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin (SJVAB) serve to restrict air movement and prevent the dispersal of pollution. As shown in the Table 3-1, the SJVAB is in nonattainment for several pollutant standards.

B. The Valley is designated nonattainment for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA designated the Valley as nonattainment for the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS on November 13, 2009 (effective December 14, 2009).
C. Though the Valley was initially classified as serious nonattainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard, EPA approved Valley reclassification to extreme nonattainment in the Federal Register on May 5, 2010 (effective June 4, 2010).
D. Effective June 15, 2005, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revoked the federal 1-hour ozone standard, including associated designations and classifications. EPA had previously classified the SJVAB as extreme nonattainment for this standard. EPA approved the 2004 Extreme Ozone Attainment Demonstration Plan on March 8, 2010 (effective April 7, 2010). Many applicable requirements for extreme 1-hour ozone nonattainment areas continue to apply to the SJVAB.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 Regulatory Setting
Federal Clean Air Act – The 1977 Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) authorized the establishment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and set deadlines for their attainment. The Clean Air Act identifies specific emission reduction goals, requires both a demonstration of reasonable further progress and an attainment demonstration, and incorporates more stringent sanctions for failure to meet interim milestones. The U.S. EPA is the federal agency charged with administering the Act and other air qualityrelated legislation. EPA’s principal functions include setting NAAQS; establishing minimum national emission limits for major sources of pollution; and promulgating regulations. Under CAA, the NCCAB is identified as an attainment area for all pollutants.
California Clean Air Act – California Air Resources Board coordinates and oversees both state and federal air pollution control programs in California. As part of this responsibility, California Air Resources Board monitors existing air quality, establishes California Ambient Air Quality Standards, and limits allowable emissions from vehicular sources. Regulatory authority within established air basins is provided by air pollution control and management districts, which control stationary-source and most categories of areasource emissions and develop regional air quality plans. The project is located within the jurisdiction of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District.
The state and federal standards for the criteria pollutants are presented in Section 8.4 of The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District’s 2015 “Guidance for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts”. These standards are designed to protect public health and welfare. The “primary” standards have been established to protect the public health. The “secondary” standards are intended to protect the nation’s welfare and account for air pollutant effects on soils, water, visibility, materials, vegetation and other aspects of general welfare. The U.S. EPA revoked the national 1-hour ozone standard on June 15, 2005, and the annual PM10 standard on September 21, 2006, when a new PM2.5 24-hour standard was established.

y 1. California standards for ozone, carbon monoxide (except 8-hour Lake Tahoe), sulfur dioxide (1 and 24 hour), nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5, and visibility reducing particles), are values that are not to be exceeded. All others are not to be equaled or exceeded. California ambient air quality standards are listed in the Table of Standards in Section 70200 of Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations.
2. National standards (other than ozone, particulate matter, and those based on annual arithmetic mean) are not to be exceeded more than once a year. The ozone standard is attained when the fourth highest 8-hour concentration measured at each site in a year, averaged over three years, is equal to or less than the standard. For PM10, the 24 hour standard is attained when the expected number of days per calendar year with a 24-hour average concentration above 150 μg/m3 is equal to or less than one. For PM2.5, the 24 hour standard is attained when 98 percent of the daily concentrations, averaged over three years, are equal to or less than the standard. Contact the U.S. EPA for further clarification and current national policies.
3. Concentration expressed first in units in which it was promulgated. Equivalent units given in parentheses are based upon a reference temperature of 25°C and a reference pressure of 760 torr. Most measurements of air quality are to be corrected to a reference temperature of 25°C and a reference pressure of 760 torr; ppm in this table refers to ppm by volume, or micromoles of pollutant per mole of gas.
4. Any equivalent measurement method which can be shown to the satisfaction of the ARB to give equivalent results at or near the level of the air quality standard may be used.
5. National Primary Standards: The levels of air quality necessary, with an adequate margin of safety to protect the public health.
6. National Secondary Standards: The levels of air quality necessary to protect the public welfare from any known or anticipated adverse effects of a pollutant.
7. Reference method as described by the U.S. EPA. An “equivalent method” of measurement may be used but must have a “consistent relationship to the reference method” and must be approved by the U.S. EPA.
8. To attain the 1-hour national standard, the 3-year average of the annual 98th percentile of the 1-hour daily maximum concentrations at each site must not exceed 100 ppb. Note that the national standards are in units of parts per billion (ppb). California standards are in units of parts per million (ppm). To directly compare the national standards to the California standards the units can be converted from ppb to ppm. In this case, the national standards of 53 ppb and 100 ppb are identical to 0.053 ppm and 0.100 ppm, respectively.
9. On June 2, 2010, a new 1-hour SO2 standard was established and the existing 24-hour and annual primary standards were revoked. To attain the 1-hour national standard, the 3-year average of the annual 99th percentile of the 1-hour daily maximum concentrations at each site must not exceed 75 ppb. The 1971 SO2 national standards (24-hour and annual) remain in effect until one year after an area is designated for the 2010 standard, except that in areas designated nonattainment for the 1971 standards, the 1971 standards remain in effect until implementation plans to attain or maintain the 2010 standards are approved. Note that the 1-hour national standard is in units of parts per billion (ppb). California standards are in units of parts per million (ppm). To directly compare the 1-hour national standard to the California standard the units can be converted to ppm. In this case, the national standard of 75 ppb is identical to 0.075 ppm.
10. The ARB has identified lead and vinyl chloride as ‘toxic air contaminants’ with no threshold level of exposure for adverse health effects determined. These actions allow for the implementation of control measures at levels below the ambient concentrations specified for these pollutants.
11. The national standard for lead was revised on October 15, 2008 to a rolling 3-month average. The 1978 lead standard (1.5 μg/m3 as a quarterly average) remains in effect until one year after an area is designated for the 2008 standard, except that in areas designated nonattainment for the 1978 standard, the 1978 standard remains in effect until implementation plans to attain or maintain the 2008 standard are approved.
12. In 1989, the ARB converted both the general statewide 10-mile visibility standard and the Lake Tahoe 30-mile visibility standard to instrumental equivalents, which are “extinction of
0.23 per kilometer” and “extinction of 0.07 per kilometer” for the statewide and Lake Tahoe Air Basin standards, respectively.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) – The SJVAPCD is responsible for enforcing air quality standards in the project area. To meet state and federal air quality objectives, the SJVAPCD adopted the following thresholds of significance for projects (Table 3-3). Additionally, the following SJVAPCD rules and regulations may apply to the proposed project:
• Rule 3135: Dust Control Plan Fee. All projects which include construction, demolition, excavation, extraction, and/or other earth moving activities as defined by Regulation VIII (Described below) are required to submit a Dust Control Plan and required fees to mitigate impacts related to dust. • Rule 4101: Visible Emissions. District Rule 4101 prohibits visible emissions of air contaminants that are dark in color and/or have the potential to obstruct visibility. • Rule 9510: Indirect Source Review (ISR). This rule reduces the impact PM10 and NOX emissions from growth on the SJVB. This rule places application and emission reduction requirements on applicable development projects in order to reduce emissions through onsite mitigation, offsite SJVAPCD administered projects, or a combination of the two. • Regulation VIII: Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions. Regulation VIII is composed of eight rules which together aim to limit PM10 emissions by reducing fugitive dust. These rules contain required management practices to limit PM10 emissions during construction, demolition, excavation, extraction, and/or other earth moving activities.

a) Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? No Impact: The proposed project is located within the boundaries of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) and would result in air pollutant emissions that are regulated by the air district during both its construction and operational phases. The SJVAPCD is responsible for bringing air quality in Tulare County into compliance with federal and state air quality standards. The air district has Particulate Matter (PM) plans, Ozone Plans, and Carbon Monoxide Plans that serve as the clean air plan for the basin. Together, these plans quantify the required emission reductions to meet federal and state air quality standards and provide strategies to meet these standards.
Construction Phase. Project construction would generate pollutant emissions from the following construction activities: SCE civil construction, SCE pole relocation and conductor/fiber removal and/or transfer, grubbing/land clearing, grading/excavation, drainage/utilities/sub-grade, and paving. The construction related emissions from these activities were calculated using Road Construction Emissions Model, Version 9.0.0 and CalEEMod. The full Emissions Model results are available in 3-19

Operational Phase. The proposed project is being implemented in response to existing and planned growth in the area. Riggin Avenue is identified in the City’s General Plan as a future arterial. Arterials collect and distribute traffic from freeways and expressways to collector streets. The Project will improve local roadway conditions to accommodate traffic that has already been planned for and analyzed in the City’s General Plan EIR. The project itself would not generate any additional vehicle trips and there will be no stationary source emissions resulting from the Project.
Because the emissions from Project construction would not exceed the thresholds of significance established by the SJVAPCD, and the Project would result in operational emissions beyond the mobile source emissions that have been previously analyzed in the City’s General Plan EIR, the project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of an applicable air quality plan and there is no impact. b) Would the project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard?
Less Than Significant Impact: The SJVAPCD accounts for cumulative impacts to air quality in Section
1.8 “Thresholds of Significance – Cumulative Impacts” in its 2015 Guide for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts. The SJVAPCD considered basin-wide cumulative impacts to air quality when developing its significance thresholds. Because Project emissions are below the significance thresholds adopted by the air district, and compliance with SJVAPCD rules will address any cumulative impacts regarding operational emissions, impacts regarding cumulative emissions would be less than significant.
c) Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? Less Than Significant Impact: The single-family residences located to the south of the proposed Project site are the closest sensitive receptors. The Project would not exceed emissions thresholds established by the SJVAPCD and would not result in operational emissions beyond the mobile source emissions that were previously analyzed in the City’s General Plan EIR. The project would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. The impact would be less than significant. 3-20
Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 d) Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people?
Less Than Significant Impact: The project will create temporary localized odors during project construction. These odors are not likely to be noticeable for extended periods of time beyond the perimeter of the Project site. Once constructed, the project will not create any new sources of odor that result directly from the project. The project would not create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people and the impacts would be less than significant.

Discussion for this section originates from the Biological Evaluation that was prepared for this project by Live Oak Associates, Inc. in January 2022 to identify sensitive biological resources, provide project impact analysis, and suggest mitigation measures. The full document can be found in Appendix B of this Initial Study.
Environmental Setting
At the time of the field survey, the project site consisted of an existing paved road and adjoining disturbed lands within the 110-foot ROW. The project site is relatively level, with an average elevation of approximately 330 feet. The project site contains three soil mapping units: Grangeville sandy loam, drained, 0 to 2 percent slopes; Nord fine sandy loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes; and Tagus loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes. Soils of the site have been significantly disturbed from urban development and agricultural 3-22
Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 activities. As a result, the soils of the project site have no particular significance to biological resources potentially occurring on the site.
One land use/biotic habitat has been identified on the project site, ruderal/developed (Figure 5 of Appendix B). This land use/biotic habitat has experienced a high level of human disturbance and modification. A list of the vascular plant species observed on the project site and a list of the terrestrial vertebrates using, or potentially using, the site is presented in Appendices A and B of Appendix B, respectively. Selected photographs of the project site are presented in Appendix C of Appendix B.
Ruderal/Developed: The project site consists entirely of ruderal/developed lands heavily influenced by human activities. At the time of LOA’s field survey, this land use was mostly made up of a paved existing road (Riggin Avenue) and its associated infrastructure including sidewalks, drains, street trees, landscaped borders, electrical poles, traffic lights, and streetlights. Street trees mainly comprised American basswood (Tilia americana), while landscaped borders included crapemyrtle (Lagerstroemia indica) and bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi). The northern portion of the project site, where the existing paved road will be extended, was characterized by graded and compacted soil and weedy growth of non-native grasses and forbs including foxtail brome (Bromus madritensis), foxtail barley (Hordeum murinum), common fiddleneck (Amsinckia intermedia), Russian thistle (Salsola tragus), whitestem filaree (Erodium moschatum), and London rocket (Sisymbrium irio), among others.
Although the wildlife habitat value of ruderal/developed lands within the project site is relatively low, these lands can support some wildlife species. Common reptiles such as the western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis) and Pacific gopher snake (Pituophis catenifer catenifer) could potentially use ruderal/developed areas of the project site. Resident avian species observed within or adjacent to the project site included mourning doves (Zenaida macroura), northern mockingbirds (Mimus polyglottos), house finches (Haemorhous mexicanus), California scrub jays (Aphelocoma californica), and killdeer (Charadrius vociferus). Wintering birds observed included yellow-rumped warblers (Setophaga coronata), white-crowned sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys), and California gulls (Larus californicus). Other bird species expected at the project site include raptors such as the red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) and American kestrel (Falco sparverius), and other perching birds such as Brewer’s blackbird (Euphagus cyanocephalus), western kingbird (Tyrannus verticalis), and American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos).
Small mammals that would be expected to occur on ruderal/developed lands of the site include Botta’s pocket gophers (Thomomys bottae), California voles (Microtus californicus), house mice (Mus musculus), and deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus). Mammalian predators with the potential to occur on ruderal lands of the project site include disturbance-tolerant species such as the raccoon (Procyon lotor), striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis), and coyote (Canis latrans).
Regulatory Setting
Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA): defines an endangered species as “any species or subspecies that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range.” A threatened species is defined as “any species or subspecies that is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range.” The Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (FMBTA: 16 USC 703-712): FMBTA prohibits killing, possessing, or trading in any bird species covered in one of four international conventions to which the United States is a party, except in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior. The name of 3-23
Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 the act is misleading, as it actually covers almost all birds native to the United States, even those that are non-migratory. The FMBTA encompasses whole birds, parts of birds, and bird nests and eggs.
Although the USFWS and its parent administration, the U.S. Department of the Interior, have traditionally interpreted the FMBTA as prohibiting incidental as well as intentional “take” of birds, a January 2018 legal opinion issued by the Department of the Interior now states that incidental take of migratory birds while engaging in otherwise lawful activities is permissible under the FMBTA. However, California Fish and Game Code makes it unlawful to take or possess any non-game bird covered by the FMBTA (Section 3513), as well as any other native non-game bird (Section 3800), even if incidental to lawful activities.
Birds of Prey (CA Fish and Game Code Section 3503.5):Birds of prey are protected in California under provisions of the Fish and Game Code (Section 3503.5), which states that it is unlawful to take, possess, or destroy any birds in the order Falconiformes (hawks and eagles) or Strigiformes (owls), as well as their nests and eggs. The bald eagle and golden eagle are afforded additional protection under the federal Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 USC 668), which makes it unlawful to kill birds or their eggs.
Clean Water Act: Section 404 of the Clean Water Act of (1972) is to maintain, restore, and enhance the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of the nation’s waters. Under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) regulates discharges of dredged and fill materials into “waters of the United States” (jurisdictional waters). Waters of the US including navigable waters of the United States, interstate waters, tidally influenced waters, and all other waters where the use, degradation, or destruction of the waters could affect interstate or foreign commerce, tributaries to any of these waters, and wetlands that meet any of these criteria or that are adjacent to any of these waters or their tributaries.
California Endangered Species Act (CESA): prohibits the take of any state-listed threatened and endangered species. CESA defines take as “any action or attempt to hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill any listed species.” If the proposed project results in a take of a listed species, a permit pursuant to Section 2080 of CESA is required from the CDFG.
City of Visalia Valley Oak Tree Ordinance: The City's Valley Oak Ordinance establishes policies for the care, trimming and removal of Valley Oaks. The ordinance also establishes an in-kind mitigation program and mitigation fee program for the removal of oak trees.
Discussion
a) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish & Game or U.S. fish and Wildlife Service?
Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation: The project site contains some suitable nesting habitat for a number of avian species protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act and related state laws. During the site survey, small stick nests (inactive) were observed in trees adjacent to the project site. Trees and shrubs are few within the project boundary, but do offer additional nesting habitat for some bird species adapted to urban environments. If birds were to be nesting on or adjacent to the project site at the time of construction, project-related activities could result in the abandonment of active nests or direct mortality to these birds. Construction activities that adversely affect the nesting 3-24
Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 success of migratory birds or raptors, or result in mortality of individual birds constitute a violation of state and federal laws (see Sections 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7 of Appendix B) and would be considered a significant impact under CEQA. Implementation of Mitigation Measures BIO-1a, BIO-1b, and BIO-1c will minimize construction disturbance to nesting birds and raptors. The impact is less than significant with mitigation.
b) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? No Impact: Sensitive natural communities are absent from the project site. The only habitat present within the project site is ruderal/developed. Development of the proposed project would not impact any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), or United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). There is no impact.
c) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through director removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means?
No Impact: Wetlands and jurisdictional waters are absent from the project site. Therefore, no impacts to state or federally protected wetlands would occur due to the proposed project. There is no impact.
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?
Less than Significant Impact: As discussed, this project site is surrounded by urban development that is expanding just north of the project area. There are no physical features (riparian corridors, valleys, etc.) at the project site that would support regular or predicted wildlife movement. Therefore, the project will result in a less than significant effect on wildlife movement corridors. The impact is less than significant.
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
No Impact: No valley oak trees are located within the project site. There are five crapemyrtle trees (< 4 in. Diameter at Breast Height (DBH)), a pecan tree (26 in. DBH), and a hackcherry tree (22 in. DBH) that are expected to be removed from the project site to expand the existing road. These trees are not protected by City of Visalia’s Oak Tree Mitigation Policy (2007), which was developed pursuant to Visalia Municipal Code, and therefore no mitigation is required. The project appears to be consistent with the City of Visalia General Plan. There is no impact. 3-25
Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? No Impact: No known Habitat Conservation Plans are in effect for the area. The project appears to be consistent with the City of Visalia General Plan. There is no impact.
Mitigation Measures for Biological Resources
Mitigation Measure BIO-1a: Avoidance. In order to avoid impacts to nesting migratory birds and raptors, construction will occur, where possible, outside the nesting season, or between September 1 and January
31. Mitigation Measure BIO-1b: Pre-construction Surveys. If construction must occur during the nesting season (February 1-August 31), a qualified biologist will conduct pre-construction surveys for active migratory bird and raptor nests within 10 days of the onset of these activities. Nest surveys will include all areas on and within 250 feet of the project site. If no active nests are found within the survey area, no further mitigation is required.
Mitigation Measure BIO-1c: Establish Buffers. Should any active nests be identified, the biologist will establish suitable disturbance-free buffers around the nests. Buffers will be identified on the ground with flagging or fencing, and will be maintained until the biologist has determined that the young have fledged and the nests are no longer active.

Environmental Setting
A Historical Property Survey Report and Archaeological Survey Report was prepared by the California Department of Transportation in January 2022. The Assessment included a Cultural Resources Records Search, archival research, Native American outreach, and a pedestrian survey.
Archaeological Survey Report
The records search results indicated that there are no cultural resources (prehistoric or historic) recorded within the Project APE, however there are two recorded resources within 1 mile of the project boundary.
These resources include a historic-era railway and historic-era bridge. The Southern San Joaquin Valley Information Center staff also reported that eight surveys have taken place within 1 mile of the Project site, including one within the Project APE.
A review of historic USGS topographic maps (1927, 1942, 1950, 1954, 1963, 1971, and 1980), aerials (1956, 1969, 1994, and 2005), and the 1855 and 1914 GLO maps of Township 18S Range 25E was conducted. In the 1855 GLO, the Project alignment is bounded by swamp to the north but appears revised in the 1914 plat to reflect the entire Project area in swamp designation. By 1927, the roadway alignment for Riggin Avenue appears in the topographic map with a cluster of homes present east of the intersection with Mooney Boulevard where the road terminates. The area remains unchanged through the 1950s, when the roadway becomes extended west. The cluster of structures at the west end of the Project is reduced by the 1969 aerial and the housing development to the south of Riggin Avenue also appears at this time.
Agriculture was practiced north of the road up through 2020 and is currently graded for development.
A pedestrian survey was conducted by Michelle Campbell, M.A. (Archaeologist) on November 30, 2021, for the purpose of identifying and recording cultural and archaeological resources. No archaeological or cultural resources were identified within or adjacent to the APE.
The Historical Property Survey Report and Archaeological Survey Report also included Native American Outreach, which will be discussed in greater depth in the Tribal Cultural Resources section of this Initial Study. The full Historical Property Survey Report and Archaeological Survey Report is available in Appendix C.

National Historic Preservation Act: The National Historic Preservation Act was adopted in 1966 to preserve historic and archeological sites in the United States. The Act created the National Register of Historic Places, the list of National Historic Landmarks, and the State Historic Preservation offices.
California Historic Register: The California Historic Register was developed as a program to identify, evaluate, register, and protect Historical Resources in California. California Historical Landmarks are sites, buildings, features, or events that are of statewide significance and have anthropological, cultural, military, political, architectural, economic, scientific, religious, experimental, or other value. In order for a resource to be designated as a historical landmark, it must meet the following criteria:
• The first, last, only, or most significant of its type in the state or within a large geographic region (Northern, Central, or Southern California).
• Associated with an individual or group having a profound influence on the history of California. • A prototype of, or an outstanding example of, a period, style, architectural movement or construction or is one of the more notable works or the best surviving work in a region of a pioneer architect, designer or master builder.
City of Visalia General Plan: The Open Space and Conservation Element of the City of Visalia General Plan includes the following objectives and policies pertaining to cultural and historic resources:
Objective OSC-O-11 Preserve and protect historic features and archaeological resources of the Visalia planning area including its agricultural surrounding for aesthetic, scientific, educational and cultural values.
OSC-P-39 Establish requirements to avoid potential impacts to sites suspected of being archeologically, paleontologically, or historically significant or of concern, by:
• Requiring a records review for development proposed in areas that are considered archaeologically or paleontologically sensitive;
• Determining the potential effects of development and construction on archaeological or paleontological resources (as required by CEQA);
• Requiring pre-construction surveys and monitoring during any ground disturbance for all development in areas of historical and archaeological sensitivity; and • Implementing appropriate measures to avoid the identified impacts, as conditions of approval.
Discussion
a) Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource pursuant to in Section 15064.5?

Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 Report did not identify any historical or cultural resources within the project APE.
Based on the results of this Historical Property Survey Report and Archaeological Survey Report, no known historic resources are located within the project site. Although no historic resources were identified, the presence of remains or unanticipated cultural resources under the ground surface is possible. Implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-1 and CUL-2 will ensure that impacts to this checklist item will be less than significant with mitigation incorporation. b) Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5?
Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation: There are no known archaeological resources located within the project area. Implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-1 and CUL-2 will ensure that potential impact will be less than significant with mitigation incorporation. c) Would the project disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries?
Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation: There are no known human remains buried in the project vicinity. If human remains are unearthed during development, there is a potential for a significant impact. As such, implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL-2 will ensure that impacts remain less than significant with mitigation incorporation.
Mitigation Measures for Impacts to Cultural Resources:
Mitigation Measure CUL-1: If cultural resources are encountered during ground-disturbing activities, work in the immediate area must halt and an archaeologist meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for archaeology (NPS 1983) should be contacted immediately to evaluate the find. If the discovery proves to be significant under CEQA, additional work such as data recovery excavation and Native American consultation may be warranted to mitigate any adverse effects.
Mitigation Measure CUL-2: The discovery of human remains is always a possibility during ground disturbing activities. If human remains are found, the State of California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 states that no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. In the event of an unanticipated discovery of human remains, the County Coroner must be notified immediately. If the human remains are determined to be prehistoric, the coroner will notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which will determine and notify a most likely descendant (MLD). The MLD shall complete the inspection of the site within 48 hours of notification and may recommend scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials. 3-29

California Code of Regulations, Title 20 and Title 24: Title 20 of the California Code of Regulations establishes standards and requirements for appliance energy efficiency. The standards apply to a broad range of appliances sold in California. Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations is a broad set of standards designed to address the energy efficiency of new and altered homes and commercial buildings.
These standards regulate energy consumed for heating, cooling, ventilation, water heating, and lighting.
Title 24 requirements are enforced locally by the City of Visalia Building Department.
California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen): CalGreen is a mandatory green building code that sets minimum environmental standards for new buildings. It includes standards for volatile organic compound (VOC) emitting materials, water conservation, and construction waste recycling Discussion
a) Would the project result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation? Less Than Significant Impact: The proposed Project involves widening of an existing road and SCE power pole relocation. During construction, energy use would be primarily attributed the electricity and fuel energy consumed by construction vehicles and equipment. Energy use associated with project construction was estimated using the Road Construction Emissions Model Version 9.0 (Appendix A) and EMFAC data. Energy use calculations are provided in Appendix D and summarized in Table 3-6, below.
Source Energy Use

Off-Road Equipment Fuel (Diesel) 122058 16966
On-Road Vehicle Fuel (Gasoline) 9457 1098

Total Construction Energy Use 18,351
Average Annual Construction Energy Use 18,351
Table 3-6. Construction Related Energy Use. Source: Road Construction Emissions Model & EMFAC (See Appendix D)
Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards would provide guidance on construction techniques to maximize energy conservation. As such, it is anticipated that construction vehicle fuel energy would not involve the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy.
During project operations, energy consumption would be minimal. Street lighting is proposed along the length of the proposed improvement area, which would result in some energy use. However, the City of Visalia Engineering Standards require new streetlights to utilize energy efficient LED luminaires.
Therefore, it is not anticipated that project operations would result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy.
Because the proposed project will comply with all energy efficiency standards required under Title 24 of the California Building Code and City of Visalia Engineering Standards, it is presumed that the 3-31

Environmental Setting
Geologic Stability and Seismic Activity
• Seismicity: Tulare County is considered to be a low to moderate earthquake hazard area. The San Andreas Fault is the longest and most significant fault zone in California and is approximately 40 miles west of the Tulare County Boundary. Owens Valley fault zone is the only active fault located within Tulare County. Section 5 of the 2017 Tulare Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies the project site as likely to experience low to moderate shaking from earthquakes, and may experience higher levels if an earthquake were to occur in or near the County. Ground 3-33
Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 shaking can result in other geological impacts, including liquefaction, landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, or collapse.
• Liquefaction: Liquefaction is a phenomenon whereby unconsolidated and/or near-saturated soils lose cohesion and are converted to a fluid state as a result of severe vibratory motion. The relatively rapid loss of soil shear strength during strong earthquake shaking results in temporary, fluid-like behavior of the soil, which can result in landslides and lateral spreading. No specific countywide assessment of liquefaction has been performed; however the 2017 Tulare MultiJurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies the risk of liquefaction within the county as low because the soil types in the area either too coarse or too high in clay content to be suitable for liquefaction.
• Landslides: Landslides refer to a wide variety of processes that result in the downward and outward movement of soil, rock, and vegetation under gravitational influence. Landslides can be caused by both natural and human-induced changes in slope stability and often accompany other natural hazard events, such as floods, wildfire, or earthquake. Eastern portions of the County are considered to be at a higher risk of landslides where steep slopes are present. However, the majority of the County, including the proposed project site, is considered to be at low risk of landslides and mudslides because of its flat topography. The 2017 Tulare Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan states that occurrence of landslide events within populated areas of Tulare County is unlikely.
• Subsidence: Land Subsidence refers to the vertical sinking of land as a result of either manmade or natural underground voids. Subsidence has occurred throughout the Central Valley at differing rates since the 1920’s as a result of groundwater, oil, and gas withdrawal. During drought years, Tulare County is prone to accelerated subsidence, with some areas sinking up to 28 feet. Although western portions of the County show signs of deep and shallow subsidence, the majority of the County, including the proposed project site, is not considered to be at risk of subsidence related hazards.
Soils Involved in Project: The proposed project involves construction on one soil type. The properties of this soil is described below:
• Grangeville Sandy Loam, drained, 0 to 2 percent slopes: The Grangeville series consists of very deep, somewhat poorly drained soils that formed in moderate coarse textured alluvium dominantly from granitic rock sources. These soils are somewhat poorly drained, negligible to very low runoff, and moderate to moderately rapid permeability. • Nord Fine Sandy Loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes: The Nord series consists of very deep, well drained soils that formed in mixed alluvium dominantly from granitic and sedimentary rocks. Nord soils exhibit negligible to low runoff and moderate permeability. Permeability can be moderately slow in saline-sodic phases.
• Tagus Loamy Sand, 0 to 2 percent slopes: The Tagus series consists of very deep, well drained soils formed in alluvium derived from granitic rock. These soils have negligible to low runoff and exhibit moderate permeability.

No Impact: According to the Tulare Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, no active faults underlay the project site. Although the project is located in an area of relatively low seismic activity, the project could be affected by ground shaking from nearby faults. The potential for strong seismic ground shaking on the project site is not a significant environmental concern due to the infrequent seismic activity of the area and distance to the faults. The project has no potential to indirectly or directly cause the rupture of an earthquake fault. Therefore, the risk of loss, injury or death involving a rupture of a known earthquake fault is negligible. There is no impact.
ii. Strong seismic ground shaking?
No Impact: According to the Tulare Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, the project site is located in an area of relatively low seismic activity. The proposed project does not include any activities or components which could feasibly cause strong seismic ground shaking, either directly or indirectly. There is no impact.

Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 iii. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? No Impact: No specific countywide assessment of liquefaction has been performed; however the Tulare Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies the risk of liquefaction within the county as low because the soil types are unsuitable for liquefaction. There is no impact. iv. Landslides?
No Impact: The proposed project site is generally flat and there are no hill slopes in the area. As a result, there is almost no potential for landslides. No geologic landforms exist on or near the site that would result in a landslide event. There is no impact. b) Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? Less Than Significant Impact: Because the project site is relatively flat, the potential for erosion is low. However, construction-related activities and increased impermeable surfaces can increase the probability for erosion to occur. Construction-related impacts related to erosion will be temporary and subject to best management practices (BMPs) required by SWPPP, which are developed to prevent significant impacts related to erosion from construction. Stormwater from the project site will be collected and conveyed to existing stormwater mains at Mooney and Giddings. Because impacts related to erosion would be temporary and limited to construction, and because required best management practices would prevent significant impacts related to erosion, the impact will remain less than significant.
c) Would the project be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
No Impact: The soils associated with the project site are considered stable and have a low capacity for landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse. Because the project area is considered to be stable, and this project would not result in a substantial grade change to the topography to the point that it would increase the risk of landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse, there is no impact.
d) Would the project be located on expansive soils, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property? No Impact: Expansive soils contain large amounts of clay, which absorb water and cause the soil to increase in volume. Conversely, the soils associated with the proposed project site have relatively low levels of clay. Because the soils associated with the project are not suitable for expansion, implementation of the project will pose no direct or indirect risk to life or property caused by expansive soils and there is no impact.
e) Would the project have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water?
No Impact: No wastewater will be generated as a part of the proposed project. There is no impact. 3-37
Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 f) Would the project directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature?
Less Than Significant Impact: There are no unique geologic features and no known paleontological resources located within the project area and no excavation is proposed in undisturbed soils, particularly to a depth with a potential to unearth paleontological resources. Potential impacts resulting from project implementation would be less than significant.

the emissions of greenhouse gases?
Environmental Setting
Natural processes and human activities emit greenhouse gases. The presence of GHGs in the atmosphere affects the earth’s temperature. Without the natural heat-trapping effect of GHGs, the earth’s surface would be about 34ºC cooler. However, it is believed that emissions from human activities, such as electricity production and vehicle use, have elevated the concentration of these gases in the atmosphere beyond the level of naturally occurring concentrations.
The effect of greenhouse gasses on earth’s temperature is equivalent to the way a greenhouse retains heat. Common GHGs include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, chlorofluorocarbons, hydro chlorofluorocarbons, and hydro fluorocarbons, per fluorocarbons, sulfur and hexafluoride. Some gases are more effective than others. The Global Warming Potential (GWP) has been calculated for each greenhouse gas to reflect how long it remains in the atmosphere, on average, and how strongly it absorbs energy. Gases with a higher GWP absorb more energy, per pound, than gases with a lower GWP, and thus contribute more to global warming. For example, one pound of methane is equivalent to twenty-one pounds of carbon dioxide.
GHGs as defined by AB 32 include the following gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride. GHGs as defined by AB 32 are summarized in Table 3-7. Each gas's effect on climate change depends on three main factors. The first being the quantity of these gases are in the atmosphere, followed by how long they stay in the atmosphere and finally how strongly they impact global temperatures.

Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 In regards to the quantity of these gases are in the atmosphere, we first must establish the amount of particular gas in the air, known as Concentration, or abundance, which are measured in parts per million, parts per billion and even parts per trillion. To put these measurements in more relatable terms, one part per million is equivalent to one drop of water diluted into about 13 gallons of water, roughly a full tank of gas in a compact car. Therefore, it can be assumed larger emission of greenhouse gases lead to a higher concentration in the atmosphere.
Each of the designated gases described above can reside in the atmosphere for different amounts of time, ranging from a few years to thousands of years. All of these gases remain in the atmosphere long enough to become well mixed, meaning that the amount that is measured in the atmosphere is roughly the same all over the world regardless of the source of the emission.
Regulatory Setting
AB 32: AB 32 set the 2020 greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal into law. It directed the California Air Resources Board to begin developing discrete early actions to reduce greenhouse gases while also preparing a scoping plan to identify how best to reach the 2020 limit. The reduction measures to meet the 2020 target are to be adopted by the start of 2011.
SB 1078, SB 107 and Executive Order S-14-08: SB 1078, SB 107, and Executive Order S-14-08 require California to generate 20% of its electricity from renewable energy by 2017. SB 107 then changes the 2017 deadline to 2010. Executive Order S-14-08 required that all retail sellers of electricity serve 33 percent of their load with renewable energy by 2020.
Discussion
a) Would the project generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment.
Less Than Significant Impact: Greenhouse gas emissions for the construction of the proposed project were modeled using the Road Construction Emissions Model, Version 9.0.0. Emissions associated with SCE power pole relocation activities were estimated using CalEEMod. The CalEEMod and Emissions Model results can be found in Appendix A.
Construction: Greenhouse gasses would be generated during construction from activities including SCE Civil Construction, SCE Pole Relocation and Conductor/Fiber Removal and/or transfer, grubbing/land clearing, grading/excavation, drainage/utilities/sub-grade, and paving.
The emissions models predict that this project will create a maximum of 951.2 MT of CO2e emissions during construction. Because the SJVAPCD does not have numeric thresholds for assessing the significance of construction-related GHG emissions, predicted emissions from project construction were compared to Council of Environmental Quality (CEQ) thresholds for construction related GHG emissions. The CEQ currently has a presumptive threshold of 10,000 metric tons of CO2e per year for construction emissions amortized over a 30-year project lifetime. Because project construction would generate far less GHG emissions than this threshold, impacts related to GHG emissions during project construction would be less than significant.

Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 Operation: As discussed in the Air Quality section of this Initial Study, the Project is being implemented in response to existing and planned growth in the area. Riggin Avenue is identified as a future arterial in the City of Visalia General Plan. The Project itself will improve roadway operations but would not generate additional vehicle trips beyond what was planned for an analyzed in the City’s General Plan EIR. Therefore, the project is not considered to be growth inducing and would not increase mobile source greenhouse gas emissions beyond what was previously analyzed in the City’s General Plan EIR.
Because construction of the project will result in less than significant increases in GHG emissions, and operation of the project would not increase GHG emissions beyond those already analyzed in the City’s General Plan EIR, the impact is less than significant. b) Would the project conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases?
No Impact: The proposed project will comply with all Federal, State, and Local rules pertaining to the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the project will implement Best Performance Standards developed by the SJVAPCD. Projects implementing Best Performance Standards are determined to have a less than significant impact on global climate change. The project will not conflict with any plan, policy, or regulation developed to reduce GHG emissions. There is no impact.

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S. Code [U.S.C.] §9601 et seq.). The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA, or the Superfund Act) authorizes the President to respond to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances into the environment.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets and enforces Occupational Safety and Health Standards to assure safe working conditions.
OSHA provides training, outreach, education, and compliance assistance to promote safe workplaces. The proposed Project would be subject to OSHA requirements during construction, operation, and maintenance.
Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 (15 U.S.C. §2601 et seq.). The Toxic Substance Control Act was enacted by Congress in 1976 and authorizes the EPA to regulate any chemical substances determined to cause an unreasonable risk to public health or the environment.
Hazardous Waste Control Law, Title 26. The Hazardous Waste Control Law creates hazardous waste management program requirements. The law is implemented by regulations contained in Title 26 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), which contains requirements for the following aspects of hazardous waste management:
• Identification and classification;
• Generation and transportation;
• Design and permitting of recycling, treatment, storage, and disposal facilities; • Treatment standards;
• Operation of facilities and staff training; and
• Closure of facilities and liability requirements.
California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Chapter 11. Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations contains regulations for the identification and classification of hazardous wastes. The CCR defines a waste as hazardous if it has any of the following characteristics: ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, and/or toxicity.

S-P-19 Coordinate with the Tulare County Environmental Health Division and other appropriate regulatory agencies during the review process of all proposals for the use of hazardous materials or those involving properties that may have toxic contamination, such as petroleum hydrocarbons, CAM 17 metals, asbestos, and lead.
Discussion
a) Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials?
Less than Significant Impact: Once constructed, the Project itself will not contain, use, or produce any hazardous materials. Project construction activities may involve the use and transport of hazardous materials, such as fuels, oils, and other chemicals (e.g., pains, lead, adhesives, etc.) typically used during construction. Improper use, transportation, and storage of hazardous materials could result in accidental releases or spills that could pose health risks to workers, the public, and the environment.
However, all materials used during construction would be contained, stored, and handled in compliance with all applicable standards and regulations established by DTSC, the EPA, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). In addition, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required for the project and will include emergency procedures for incidental hazardous materials releases. The SWPPP also includes Best Management Practices which include requirements for hazardous materials storage.
Riggin Avenue is an arterial street and may be used to facilitate the transport of hazardous materials once construction is complete, however risks associated with transport of hazardous materials would not be increased as a result of the proposed project. The route itself is existing and the Project would have no impact on the frequency at which hazardous materials are transported along the corridor.
The proposed Project would not substantially increase risks associated with the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. The impact is less than significant. b) Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment?
Less Than Significant Impact: There is no reasonably foreseeable condition or incident involving the project that could result in release of hazardous materials into the environment, other than any potential accidental releases of standard fuels, solvents, or chemicals encountered during typical construction. Should an accidental hazardous release occur or should the project encounter hazardous soils, existing regulations for handling hazardous materials require coordination with the California Department of Toxic Substances Control for an appropriate plan of action, which can include studies or testing to determine the nature and extent of contamination, as well as handling and proper disposal. Therefore, potential impacts are considered to be less than significant. 3-46

Visalia Municipal Airport is the nearest public airport to the project site and is located approximately 5.6 miles away. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area. There is no impact.
f) Would the project impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
No Impact: The City’s site plan review procedures ensure compliance with emergency response and evacuation plans. In addition, the site plan will be reviewed by the Fire Department per standard City 3-47

Therefore, the proposed project would have no impact on emergency evacuation. g) Would the project expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires?
No Impact: The land surrounding the project site is developed with urban, suburban, and agricultural uses and are not considered to be wildlands. Additionally, the 2017 Tulare County Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan finds that fire hazards within the City of Visalia, including the proposed project site, have low frequency, limited extent, limited magnitude, and low significance. The proposed project would not expose people or structures to significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires and there is no impact.

Environmental Setting
Hydrologic System: The proposed project site is located in the Tulare Lake Hydrologic Region, which covers 10.9 million acres south of the San Joaquin River. The proposed project site lies within the San Joaquin Valley Groundwater Basin. The San Joaquin Valley Groundwater Basin is divided into seven subbasins. The proposed project site is located within the Kaweah Subbasin. The subbasin lies between the Kings Groundwater Subbasin on the north, the Tule Groundwater Subbasin on the south, the Tulare Lake subbasin on the west, and crystalline bedrock of the Sierra Nevada foothills on the east. The area is comprised mostly of lands in the Kaweah Delta Water Conservation District. Major rivers in the subbasin include the St. Johns and lower Kaweah Rivers; although the Kaweah River is considered the primary surface water source for groundwater recharge.
Groundwater: California Water Service Visalia District provides water services within the City of Visalia.
The Visalia District also serves the communities of Goshen, Mullen and Tulco. California Water Service operates 72 wells to meet the water demands of Visalia and Goshen customers. 3-49

Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 Surface Waters: The Planning Area is located in the heart of the Kaweah River’s delta system, so many rivers and creeks flow through the city. Surface runoff generally flows from east to west and terminates in the Tulare Lake Basin. Major surface water resources in the area include St. Johns River, Mill Creek, Packwood Creek, Cameron Creek, Deep Creek, Evans Creek, Modoc Ditch, Mill Creek Ditch, Persian Ditch, Tulare Irrigation District (TID) Canal, and some other local Ditches. None of the City’s potable water is supplied through surface water.
Regulatory Setting
Clean Water Act: The Clean Water Act (CWA) is enforced by the U.S. EPA and was developed in 1972 to regulate discharges of pollutants into the waters of the United States. The Act made it unlawful to discharge any pollutant from a point source into navigable waters unless a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit is obtained.
Central Valley RWQCB: The proposed project site is within the jurisdiction of the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). The Central Valley RWQCB requires a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for projects disturbing more than one acre of total land area. Because the project is greater than one acre, a NPDES Permit and SWPPP will be required.
City of Visalia General Plan: The Open Space and Conservation Element of the City of Visalia General Plan contains the following goals and policies related to water resources that may be applicable to the proposed project:
Objective OSC-O-6: Protect water resources vital to the health of the community’s residents and important to the Planning Area’s ecological and economic stability Objective OSC-O-7: Preserve and enhance Planning Area waterways and adjacent corridors as valuable community resources which serve as plant and wildlife habitats, as groundwater recharge facilities, as flood control and irrigation components, and as connections between open space areas.
Discussion
a) Would the project violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality? Less than Significant Impact: The project will result in less than significant impacts to water quality due to potentially polluted runoff generated during construction activities. Construction would include excavation, grading, and other earthwork that may occur across most of the 14.0-acre project site. During storm events, exposed construction areas across the project site may cause runoff to carry pollutants, such as chemicals, oils, sediment, and debris. However, implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be required for the project. A SWPPP identifies all potential sources of pollution that could affect stormwater discharges from the project site and identifies best management practices (BMPs) related to stormwater runoff. Therefore, the impacts would be less than significant.

Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 b) Would the project substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that the project may impede sustainable groundwater management of the basin?
No Impact: The proposed Project, once operational, will not require on-going use of water and therefore would not affect an aquifer or local water table. Therefore, the Project will have no impact. c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner, which would:
i. Result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site? Less than Significant Impact: The proposed Project includes installation of additional impervious surfaces that may be considered an alteration of existing drainage patterns, however, this would not result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be implemented during project construction. SWPPPs include mandated erosion control measures, which are developed to prevent significant impacts related to erosion caused by runoff during construction. During project operations, stormwater on the existing and proposed impervious surfaces would be collected and conveyed to existing stormwater mains at Mooney and Giddings. The impact is less than significant. ii. Substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or offsite?
Less than Significant Impact: Because the project would result in an increase of impervious surfaces, an increase in surface runoff may occur. After construction, stormwater will be conveyed to existing stormwater mains at Mooney and Giddings. The project has been reviewed by the City of Visalia Public Works Director and the City’s Engineer who have determined that the implementation of the proposed Project will not result in substantial flooding on- or off-site. The project will have a less than significant impact.
iii. Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? Less than Significant Impact: The Project proposes to widen an existing road, which will add new impervious surfaces to the project area. After construction, stormwater will be conveyed to existing stormwater mains at Mooney and Giddings. The project has been reviewed by the City of Visalia Public Works Director and the City’s Engineer who have determined that the existing stormwater drainage system has adequate capacity to serve the Project. The impact is less than significant.
iv. Impede or redirect flood flows?
No Impact: The Project site is generally flat and no significant grading or leveling will be required.
The proposed project site is not in proximity to a stream or river and will not alter the course of a stream or river. According to National Flood Hazard mapping by the Federal Emergency 3-52
Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 Management Agency, the proposed project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area.
There would be no impact with regard to impeding or redirecting flood flows. d) Would the project, in flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk the release of pollutants due to project inundation?
No Impact: The proposed project is located inland and not near an ocean or large body of water, and therefore, would not be affected by a tsunami. The proposed project is located in a relatively flat area and would not be impacted by inundation related to mudflow. Since the project is located in an area that is not susceptible to inundation, the project would not risk release of pollutants due to project inundation. As such, there is no impact.
e) Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan?
No Impact: The proposed project will not conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan. The proposed project will be subject to the requirements of the NPDES Stormwater Program and will be required to comply with a SWPPP, which will identify all potential sources of pollution that could affect stormwater discharges from the project site and identify BMPs to prevent significant impacts related to stormwater runoff.
The proposed project site is within the jurisdiction of the Mid-Kaweah Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA). The Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) was adopted by the Mid-Kaweah GSA in December 2019. The plan was reviewed for consistency with the proposed project and it was determined that the proposed project does not conflict with and would not obstruct implementation of the GSP. There is no impact.

levels?
Environmental Setting
Noise is often described as unwanted sound. Sound is the variation in air pressure that the human ear can detect. If the pressure variations occur at least 20 times per second, they can be detected by the human ear. The number of pressure variations per second is called the frequency of sound, and is expressed as cycles per second, called Hertz (Hz). Ambient noise is the “background” noise of an environment. Ambient noise levels on the proposed project site are primarily due to agricultural activities and traffic.
Construction activities usually result in an increase in sound above ambient noise levels.
Regulatory Setting
City of Visalia General Plan: The Safety and Noise Element of the City of Visalia General Plan is responsible for establishing noise standards within the City and includes the following objectives and policies related to noise that may be applicable to the project.
Objective N-O-1: Strive to achieve an acceptable noise environment for present and future residents of Visalia.
Objective N-O-3: Protect noise sensitive land uses such as schools, hospitals, and senior care facilities from encroachment of and exposure to excessive levels of noise.
N-P-4 Where new development of industrial, commercial or other noise generating land uses (including roadways, railroads, and airports) may result in noise levels that exceed the noise level exposure criteria established by Tables 8-2 and 8-3, require a noise study to determine impacts, and require developers to mitigate these impacts in conformance with Tables 8-2 and 8-3 as a condition 3-60
Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 of permit approval through appropriate means. Noise mitigation measures may include but are not limited to:
• Screen and control noise sources, such as parking and loading facilities, outdoor activities, and mechanical equipment;
• Increase setbacks for noise sources from adjacent dwellings; • Retain fences, walls, and landscaping that serve as noise buffers; • Use soundproofing materials and doubleglazed windows; • Use open space, building orientation and design, landscaping and running water to mask sounds; and
• Control hours of operation, including deliveries and trash pickup, to minimize noise impacts. • Alternative acoustical designs that achieve the prescribed noise level reduction may be approved, provided a qualified Acoustical Consultant submits information demonstrating that the alternative designs will achieve and maintain the specific targets for outdoor activity areas and interior spaces. As a last resort, developers may propose to construct noise walls along state highways and arterials when compatible with aesthetic concerns and neighborhood char - acter.
This would be a developer responsibility, with no City funding.
City of Visalia Noise Ordinance: Section 8.36.050 establishes the following language that applies to operation of construction equipment:
“It is unlawful to operate construction equipment including jackhammers, portable generators, pneumatic equipment, trenchers, or other such equipment, except for emergency repair purposes as provided in Section 8.36.070, on public or private property abutting noise sensitive land uses between the weekday hours of seven p.m. and six a.m., and between the weekend hours of seven p.m. and nine a.m. “ Noise-Sensitive Land Use

Table 3-9. Summary of Short-Term Measurements
TNM 2.5 was used to compare measured short-term traffic noise levels with modelled noise results at the same locations, also shown in Table 3-9 above. As the predicted sound levels are within 3 dB of the measured sound levels, the noise model is considered validated for use to predict existing and future traffic noise levels.
A traffic noise analysis was conducted using TNM 2.5 to determine the future traffic noise impacts at sensitive receivers near the proposed Riggin Avenue widening. Potential long-term noise impacts associated with project operations arise solely from traffic noise. The CNEL (Community Noise Equivalent Level), the average sound level over a 24-hour period, was evaluated for future scenarios design year 2040 No Build, and future design year 2040 build for forty-one (43) receiver locations.
The predicted future average daily traffic noise levels for the Build Alternative were extrapolated from traffic data provided by the City of Visalia General Plan – Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) (City of Visalia 2014). Since the Final Environmental Impact Report only includes traffic volume projections up to 2030, a projected annual growth rate of 2.6% was applied to estimate peak hour traffic in the existing baseline year 2021 and design year 2040.
Table 3-10 shows the estimated existing and future exterior and interior noise levels in the Project area.
For interior noise, it was assumed that standard residential design (with windows closed) would provide no more than 25 dBA of attenuation. Table 3-10 also lists the location and type of development for each modeled receiver location. The locations of the analyzed noise receivers are shown in Appendix F. 3-62

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 Discussion
a) Would the project result in generation of a substantial temporary or permeant increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? Less than Significant Impact:
Permanent Increase in Ambient Noise Levels (Operational Noise) The future 2040 traffic noise modeling results are summarized in Tables 3. As shown in Table 3, noise levels would increase by up to 3 to 5 dB over the next twenty years in the Project area due to traffic growth. Noise levels at R6 through R9 along Riggin Avenue would continue to be exposed to noise levels exceeding the City of Visalia Exterior Noise Standards, even without the proposed Project.
Additionally, the comparison of noise levels between the 2040 No Build and Build condition show that construction of the proposed project would not cause any further substantial permanent increase in noise levels where they are already exceeding exterior noise standards. No other sensitive receivers would be exposed to a substantial increase in noise levels that would lead to an exceedance of exterior noise standards for their respective land use category. Therefore, impacts would be Less than Significant.
Temporary Increase in Ambient Noise Levels (Construction Noise) Project construction is anticipated to last approximately 12 months and will involve temporary noise sources. The average noise levels generated by construction equipment that will be used in the proposed project are shown below.

Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 The City of Visalia General Plan and Noise Ordinance does not identify noise thresholds for noise sources related to construction, however the City’s Noise Ordinance does limit noise generating activities related to construction to daytime hours Monday through Friday. The project will comply with these regulations and construction will only occur Monday through Frida between 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM. Because noise generated from construction activities would be temporary in nature and conducted in compliance with the City’s Noise Ordinance, temporary construction noise impacts would be Less than Significant.
The project itself will not generate long term noise levels. The Project is being implemented in response to existing and planned growth in the area. The project itself will improve local roadway operations, but will not generate additional vehicle trips on Riggin Avenue beyond what was already planned for and analyzed in the City’s General Plan EIR. The Project is therefore not considered to be growth inducing and will not result in noise impacts beyond what was previously analyzed in the City’s General Plan EIR.
According to the City’s General Plan, major noise sources in Visalia are related to roadways, vehicle traffic, and railroad noises. According to the City’s General Plan EIR, Riggin Avenue (from Mooney Blvd to Court Street) is projected to produce traffic noise levels of 68.7 Ldn (day-night average sound level) at 50 feet at full buildout of the General Plan in Year 2030. As such, the Project site is included in the City’s Future Noise Contours. When future development projects are proposed in areas within the City’s Noise Contours, such developments may require sound attenuation measures such as noise barriers.
Because noise generated from construction would be temporary, construction activities would comply with all measures established by the City to limit construction related noise impacts, and operational noise would be consistent with what was previously analyzed in the City’s General Plan EIR, the impact is less than significant.
b) Would the project result in generation of excessive ground-borne vibration or groundborne noise levels?
Less than Significant Impact: Ground-borne vibration or ground-borne noise levels may occur as part of construction activities associated with the project. Construction activities will be temporary and will not expose persons to such vibration or noise levels for an extended period of time. Therefore, impacts are less than significant.
c) For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or, an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? No Impact: The project site is located approximately 5.6 miles from Visalia Municipal Airport and is not within an Airport Land Use Plan. There is no impact.

Environmental Setting
The United States Census Bureau estimated the population in the City of Visalia to be 132,104 in 2019.
This is an increase from the 2010 census, which counted the population in the City of Visalia to be 124,867.
Factors that influence population growth include job availability, housing availability, and the capacity of existing infrastructure.
Regulatory Setting
The size of the population in the City of Visalia is controlled by the development code and Land Use Element of the General Plan. These documents regulate the number of dwelling units per acre allowed on various land uses and establish minimum and maximum lot sizes. These factors have a direct impact on the City’s population size. The project site is located entirely within the public ROW. Therefore, no residences are permitted within the project area.
Discussion
a) Would the project induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by new homes and businesses) or directly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)?
No Impact: The project does not propose any new homes and there are no residential structures currently on-site. The Project is being implemented in response to existing and planned growth in the Area. The Project itself will improve local roadway operations but would not generate additional vehicle trips on Riggin Avenue beyond what was already planned for and analyzed in the City’s General Plan EIR. The Project is therefore not considered to be growth inducing. The proposed Project will not affect any regional population, housing, or employment projections anticipated by City of Visalia policy documents. Therefore, there is no impact. 3-67

Discussion for this section originates from the VMT Technical Memorandum prepared for this project by TJKM. The full Technical Memorandum can be found in Appendix C of this Initial Study.
Environmental Setting
Vehicular Access: The proposed project involves the reconstruction of 0.75 miles of existing roadway on Riggin Avenue between Mooney Blvd and Conyer Street. Vehicular access to the project is available from Mooney Blvd, N Giddings Street, and Conyer Street to the north and south of the project site, and from Riggin Avenue to the east and west of the project site.
Parking: During construction, workers will utilize a temporary construction easement located adjacent to the project site for parking and equipment staging. During project operations, there will be no permanent personnel on-site and no additional parking facilities will be required.
Pedestrian and Cyclist Connectivity: The project will install Class 4 protected bicycle lanes along the north side of Riggin Avenue e as part of the proposed improvements. The project will also maintain Class 3 shared use lanes along the south side of Riggin Avenue. These bicycle lanes will connect to existing and planned Class 2 bicycle lanes along Riggin Avenue on either side of the proposed project site.
Regulatory Setting
City of Visalia Improvement Standards: The City of Visalia’s Improvement Standards are developed and enforced by the City of Visalia’s Engineering Division to guide the development and maintenance of City Roads. The cross section drawings contained in the City Improvement Standards dictate the development of roads within the City.
City of Visalia General Plan: Riggin Avenue is classified as a future arterial in the Circulation Element of the City of Visalia General Plan.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 Discussion
a) Would the project conflict with a program plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities? Less than Significant Impact: The proposed project involves the reconstruction of 0.75 mile of existing roadway between N Mooney Blvd and Conyer Street to accommodate a 4-lane arterial street with 110’ total ROW. Improvements would include new 12’ vehicular travel lanes (4 lanes total), new Class IV bike lanes along the north side of Riggin Avenue, new street lighting, new landscaped medians, four new bus turnouts, new fire hydrants, and curb returns at all involved intersections. The proposed project is consistent with the Visalia General Plan, and is not anticipated to conflict with a program plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities. A project’s effect on automobile delay, typically measured based on “level of service” (LOS) would not constitute a significant environmental impact under the CEQA Guidelines effective July 1, 2020. This impact is less than significant. b) Would the project conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, Subdivision (b)?
Less than Significant Impact: TJKM utilized the Tulare Council of Governments (Tulare COG) Travel Demand Model to forecast the net change in total VMT for Tulare County, with and without the proposed project. An additional lane was added on Riggin Avenue in both directions from Mooney Blvd to Conyer Blvd and the model was re-ran with the base year and forecast year conditions. Tables 3-9 and 3-10 summarize the VMT results from the model.

Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 Based on the TCAG model, the proposed project is not anticipated to results in a net increase in total VMT. In addition, TJKM analyzed the total number of trips from the model with and without project for both the base and forecast years. The number of trips did not increase between the base and cumulative conditions.
The City of Visalia’s VMT guidelines stipulated a study on induced demand for roadway expansion projects. The following are from the guidelines on how to estimate induced VMT impacts from roadway expansion projects (UC Davis Induced Travel Calculator NCST Method):
1. Determine total lane-miles over an area that fully captures travel behavior changes resulting from the project (generally the region, but for projects affecting interregional travel look at all affected regions).
2. Determine the percentage change in total lane miles that will result from the project.
3. Determine the total existing VMT over that same area.
4. Multiply the percentage increase n lane miles by the existing VMT, and then multiply that by the elasticity from the induced travel literature:
[% increase in lane miles] x [existing VMT] x [elasticity] = [VMT resulting from the project] While the travel demand model forecasted no growth in VMT, TJKM used the above formula to calculate induced VMT from the Riggins project.
% increase in lane miles = 0.75 / 10,756 = 0.009% (The project widens 0.75 mile of Riggins avenue, and 10,756 miles are the total lane miles in Tulare County from the TCAG model).
Existing VMT = 15,164,825 (The existing VMT of the region pulled from the TCAG Model) Elasticity = 1 (The elasticity value was pulled from the transportation analysis guidelines).
Putting the three values together generates an induced daily VMT of 1,410 for the Riggins Widening.
As a percentage of the existing VMT, this value is statistically insignificant (1,410/15,164,825 =0.009%).
As described in CEQA Section 15064.3: “Vehicle miles traveled” refers to the amount and distance of automobile travel “attributable to a project.” As described separately in the Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA (Governor’s Office of Planning & Research, December 2018), VMT re-routed from other origins or destinations as the result of a project would not be attributable to a project except to the extent that the re-routing results in a net increase in VMT. A roadway widening could result in a net increase in total VMT if the roadway is currently operating at capacity, in which case the added capacity provided by a road widening could result in added VMT due to latent demand. However, this is not the case for the proposed project. The Visalia General Plan EIR (2010) noted that Riggin Avenue served approximately 7,800 daily vehicles, well below the estimated capacity of more than 15,000 daily vehicles for the existing 2-lane configuration.
Additionally, excess capacity is also currently provided on parallel routes such as State Route 198, further reducing the likelihood that the proposed project would result in a net increase in total VMT.
Riggin Avenue also provides a direct connection to Highway 99 via Betty Drive, which could reduce VMT for some trips that would otherwise travel on State Route 198. 3-74
Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 Even though the calculation resulted in an increase of 1,410 VMT, it is highly unlikely there will be increased demand from a 0.75 mile widening due to excess capacity available from the routes mentioned in the previous paragraph.
In addition, the guidelines states the induced VMT growth stems from induced land use; the Visalia general plan does not include any additional residential or commercial land uses in the Riggins / Mooney and Conyer area for the project lifespan. It is highly unlikely the widening will induce demand since additional capacity exists and no additional land uses are planned for the area.
According to the TCAG model, the project is not anticipated to increase VMT. In addition, the induced VMT for this project is statistically 0. Therefore, the impact is less than significant. c) Would the project substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? Less than Significant Impact: The proposed project is not anticipated to substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment). Improvements would include new 12’ vehicular travel lanes (4 lanes total), new Class IV bike lanes along the north side of Riggin Avenue, new street lighting, new landscaped medians, four new bus turnouts, new fire hydrants, and curb returns at all involved intersections.
Construction would require demolition of existing asphalt between Mooney and Conyer, removal of two trees on the north side of Riggin, removal/replacement of one drive approach, and relocation of 11 power poles. The proposed project design will be subject to review and permitting by the City of Visalia and other agencies (as described in the Project Description) to ensure the design and construction is consistent with applicable standards. This impact is less than significant. d) Would the project result in inadequate emergency access? Less Than Significant Impact: The proposed project would widen Riggin Avenue from two to four lanes between Mooney Blvd and Conyer Street, thus providing additional travel lanes that could be utilized by emergency vehicles on a 0.75‐mile segment of Riggin Avenue. Therefore, the proposed project is anticipated to enhance emergency access, and would not result in inadequate emergency access. This impact is less than significant

Definitions
• Historical Resources: Historical resources are defined by CEQA as resources that are listed in or eligible for the California Register of Historical Resources, resources that are listed in a local historical resource register, or resources that are otherwise determined to be historical under California Public Resources Code Section 21084.1 or California Code of Regulations Section 15064.5. Under these definitions Historical Resources can include archaeological resources, Tribal cultural resources, and Paleontological Resources.
• Archaeological Resources: As stated above, archaeological resources may be considered historical resources. If they do not meet the qualifications under the California Public Resources Code 21084.1 or California Code of Regulations Section 15064.5, they are instead determined to be “unique” as defined by the CEQA Statute Section 21083.2. A unique archaeological resource is an artifact, object, or site that: (1) contains information (for which there is a demonstrable public interest) needed to answer important scientific research questions; (2) has a special and particular quality, such as being the oldest of its type or the best available example of its type; or (3) is directly associated with a scientifically recognized important prehistoric or historic event or person.
• Tribal Cultural Resource (TCR): Tribal Cultural Resources can include site features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, or objects, which are of cultural value to a Tribe. It is either listed on or eligible for the CA Historic Register or a local historic register, or determined by the lead agency to be treated as TCR.
• Paleontological Resources: For the purposes of this section, “paleontological resources” refers to the fossilized plant and animal remains of prehistoric species. Paleontological Resources are a 3-77
Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 limited scientific and educational resource and are valued for the information they yield about the history of the earth and its ecology. Fossilized remains, such as bones, teeth, shells, and leaves, are found in geologic deposits (i.e., rock formations). Paleontological resources generally include the geologic formations and localities in which the fossils are collected.
Regulatory Setting
National Historic Preservation Act: The National Historic Preservation Act was adopted in 1966 to preserve historic and archeological sites in the United States. The Act created the National Register of Historic Places, the list of National Historic Landmarks, and the State Historic Preservation offices.
California Historic Register: The California Historic Register was developed as a program to identify, evaluate, register, and protect Historical Resources in California. California Historical Landmarks are sites, buildings, features, or events that are of statewide significance and have anthropological, cultural, military, political, architectural, economic, scientific, religious, experimental, or other value. In order for a resource to be designated as a historical landmark, it must meet the following criteria:
• The first, last, only, or most significant of its type in the state or within a large geographic region (Northern, Central, or Southern California).
• Associated with an individual or group having a profound influence on the history of California. • A prototype of, or an outstanding example of, a period, style, architectural movement or construction or is one of the more notable works or the best surviving work in a region of a pioneer architect, designer or master builder.
City of Visalia General Plan: The City of Visalia General Plan includes the following goals and policies pertaining to tribal cultural resources:
OSC-P-39 Establish requirements to avoid potential impacts to sites suspected of being archeologically, paleontologically, or historically significant or of concern, by:
• Requiring a records review for development proposed in areas that are considered archaeologically or paleontologically sensitive;
• Determining the potential effects of development and construction on archaeological or paleontological resources (as required by CEQA);
• Requiring pre-construction surveys and monitoring during any ground disturbance for all development in areas of historical and archaeological sensitivity; and • Implementing appropriate measures to avoid the identified impacts, as conditions of project approval

In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resource Code Section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe.
Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation: Based on the findings of the Historical Property Survey Report and Archaeological Survey Report, which included a Cultural Resources Records Search, Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File Search, Archival Research, Native American Outreach, and a Pedestrian Survey, there are no known tribal cultural resources within the project area.
Although no tribal cultural resources were identified, the presence of remains or unanticipated cultural resources under the ground surface is possible. Implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-1 and CUL-2 will ensure that impacts to this checklist item will be less than significant with mitigation incorporation.
Mitigation Measures for Impacts to Cultural Resources:
Mitigation Measure CUL-1: If cultural resources are encountered during ground-disturbing activities, work in the immediate area must halt and an archaeologist meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for archaeology (NPS 1983) should be contacted immediately to evaluate the find. If the discovery proves to be significant under CEQA, additional work such as data recovery excavation and Native American consultation may be warranted to mitigate any adverse effects.
Mitigation Measure CUL-2: The discovery of human remains is always a possibility during ground disturbing activities. If human remains are found, the State of California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 states that no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. In the event of an unanticipated discovery of human remains, the County Coroner must be notified immediately. If the human remains are determined to be prehistoric, the coroner will notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which will determine and notify a most likely descendant (MLD). The MLD shall complete the inspection of the site within 48 hours of notification and may recommend scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials. 3-79

Environmental Setting
Wastewater: An existing 24” sewer main runs along the south side of Riggin Avenue. Two new 6” laterals are proposed as part of the proposed Project.
Solid Waste: The proposed project will not generate solid waste and will not require solid waste collection services.
Water: Existing water mains rainging from 8” to 12” run along the south side of Riggin Avenue. The project includes construction of fire hydrants along the length of the improvement area. Other than emergency fire hydrant use, the project would not utilize any water resources.
Storm Drainage: Stormwater will be collected and conveyed to existing stormwater mains at Mooney Blvd and Giddings Street.
Regulatory Setting
CalRecycle: California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Natural Resources – Division 7 contains all current CalRecycle regulations regarding nonhazardous waste management in the state. These regulations include 3-80
Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 standards for the handling of solid waste, standards for the handling of compostable materials, design standards for disposal facilities, and disposal standards for specific types of waste.
Central Valley RWQCB: The Central Valley RWQCB requires a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for projects disturbing more than one acre of total land area. Because the project is greater than one acre, a SWPPP to manage stormwater generated during project construction will be required.
The Central Valley RWQCB regulates Wastewater Discharges to Land by establishing thresholds for discharged pollutants and implementing monitoring programs to evaluate program compliance. This program regulates approximately 1500 dischargers in the region.
The Central Valley RWQCB is also responsible for implementing the federal program, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The NPDES Program is the federal permitting program that regulates discharges of pollutants to surface waters of the U.S. Under this program, a NPDES permit is required to discharge pollutants into Water’s of the U.S. There are 350 permitted facilities within the Central Valley Region.
Discussion
a) Would the project require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment or stormwater drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities, the construction or relation of which could cause significant environmental effects? Less than Significant Impact: The proposed project will extend sewer and stormwater lines through the project area and relocate 11 existing power poles as part of improvements to Riggin Avenue.
Although the project would result in the construction of new wastewater collection facilities (two new lateral connections to the existing sewer main), the project itself will not generate wastewater, so it does not have to potential to exceed wastewater treatment capacities.
The proposed improvements would result in new impervious surfaces that could increase the amount of stormwater runoff. However, stormwater would be collected and conveyed to existing stormwater mains at Mooney Blvd and Giddings Street. The City Engineer and Public Works Director have reviewed the project and determined that the City’s stormwater system has sufficient capacity to accommodate the proposed Project. The project will also incorporate appropriate pollution prevention and MBPs in accordance with the City design standards and RWQCB requirements.
The existing power poles along the north side of Riggin Avenue will need to be relocated to accommodate the proposed street improvements. Relocation of these poles will not necessitate new power generation facilities to be constructed that would have a significant impact on the environment.
Because the improvements to Riggin Avenue, including sewer lines and power pole relocation, would not require the construction of any additional water, wastewater treatment, storage drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities beyond those analyzed in this IS/MND, the impact is less than significant.

breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or
other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or
that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts
to the environment?
d) Expose people or structures to significant
risks, including downslope or downstream
flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, postfire slope instability, or drainage changes?
Regulatory Setting
Definitions:
Fire hazard severity zones: geographical areas designated pursuant to California Public Resources Codes Sections 4201 through 4204 and classified as Very High, High, or Moderate in State Responsibility Areas or as Local Agency Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones designated pursuant to California Government Code, Sections 51175 through 51189.
Tulare County Disaster Preparedness Guide (2011): The Tulare County Preparedness Guide provides guidelines regarding disaster preparedness and evacuation planning for Tulare County residents.
Tulare County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (2018): The 2018 Tulare County MultiJurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan assesses the natural, technological, and human-caused risks to Communities within Tulare County. The proposed project site is not located in an area designated as a Fire Hazard Severity Zone by the Tulare County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Discussion
a) Would the project substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
No Impact: The project would not substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. There is no impact.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 b) Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, would the project exacerbate wildfire risks, and thereby expose project occupants to pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire?
No Impact: The project is located on a flat area of land with little risk of fire. The Tulare County MultiJurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies the risk of fire within the City of Visalia as having unlikely frequency, limited extent, limited magnitude, and low significance. The project would not exacerbate wildfire risks and expose project occupants to pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of wildfire. There is no impact. c) Would the project require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment? No Impact: The proposed project involves the installation of fire hydrants as part of proposed street improvements. If anything, installation of these features would reduce fire risks within the vicinity of the project site. There is no impact.
d) Would the project expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire instability, or drainage changes? No Impact: The project site is located on land with relatively flat topography. Therefore, the project would not be susceptible to downslope or downstream flooding or landslides as a result of post-fire instability or drainage changes. There is no impact.

population to drop below self-sustaining levels,
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, substantially reduce the number or

or animal or eliminate important examples of
the major periods of California history or
prehistory?
b) Does the project have impacts that are
individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable? (“Cumulatively considerable”
means that the incremental effects of a project
are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past projects, the effects of
other current projects, and the effects of
probable future projects)?
c) Does the project have environmental effects,
which will cause substantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly or indirectly?
Discussion
a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below selfsustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory?
Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation: This initial study/mitigated negative declaration found the project could have significant impacts on biological, cultural, and Tribal cultural resources.
However, implementation of the identified mitigation measures for each respective section would ensure that impacts are less than significant with mitigation incorporation. b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively considerable” means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)?
Less Than Significant Impact: CEQA Guidelines Section 15064(i) states that a Lead Agency shall consider whether the cumulative impact of a project is significant and whether the effects of the 3-85
Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer)
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2022 project are cumulatively considerable. The assessment of the significance of the cumulative effects of a project must, therefore, be conducted in connection with the effects of past projects, other current projects, and probable future projects. Due to the nature of the project and consistency with environmental policies, incremental contributions to impacts are considered less than cumulatively considerable. The proposed project would not contribute substantially to adverse cumulative conditions, or create any substantial indirect impacts (i.e., increase in population could lead to an increase need for housing, increase in traffic, air pollutants, etc). Impacts would be less than significant.
c) Does the project have environmental effects, which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
Less Than Significant Impact: The analyses of environmental issues contained in this Initial Study indicate that the project is not expected to have substantial impact on human beings, either directly or indirectly. Mitigation measures have been incorporated in the project design to reduce all potentially significant impacts to less than significant, which results in a less than significant impact to this checklist item.

3.6 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
As required by Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, subd. (a)(1), a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared for the project in order to monitor the implementation of the mitigation measures that have been adopted for the project. This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been created based upon the findings of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the Riggin Avenue Widening Project in the City of Visalia.
The first column of the table identifies the mitigation measure. The second column names the party responsible for carrying out the required action. The third column, “Timing of Mitigation Measure” identifies the time the mitigation measure should be initiated. The fourth column, “Responsible Party for Monitoring,” names the party ensuring that the mitigation measure is implemented. The last column will be used by the City of Visalia to ensure that the individual mitigation measures have been monitored.
Plan checking and verification of mitigation compliance shall be the responsibility of the City of Visalia.

Mitigation Measure BIO-1a: Avoidance. In order
to avoid impacts to nesting migratory birds and
raptors, construction will occur, where possible,
outside the nesting season, or between
September 1 and January 31.
Project Sponsor Ongoing during
construction. City of Visalia
Mitigation Measure BIO-1b: Pre-construction
Surveys. If construction must occur during the
nesting season (February 1-August 31), a
qualified biologist will conduct pre-construction
surveys for active migratory bird and raptor
nests within 10 days of the onset of these
activities. Nest surveys will include all areas on
and within 250 feet of the project site. If no
active nests are found within the survey area, no
further mitigation is required.

City of Visalia
Mitigation Measure BIO-1c: Establish Buffers.
Should any active nests be identified, the
biologist will establish suitable disturbance-free
buffers around the nests. Buffers will be
identified on the ground with flagging or fencing,
and will be maintained until the biologist has
determined that the young have fledged and the
nests are no longer active.
Project Sponsor Ongoing during
construction. City of Visalia
Mitigation Measure CUL-1: If cultural resources
are encountered during ground-disturbing
activities, work in the immediate area must halt
and an archaeologist meeting the Secretary of
the Interior’s Professional Qualifications
Standards for archaeology (NPS 1983) should be
contacted immediately to evaluate the find. If
the discovery proves to be significant under
CEQA, additional work such as data recovery
excavation and Native American consultation

Mitigation Measure CUL-2: The discovery of
human remains is always a possibility during
ground disturbing activities. If human remains
are found, the State of California Health and
Safety Code Section 7050.5 states that no
further disturbance shall occur until the County
Coroner has made a determination of origin and
disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code
Section 5097.98. In the event of an
unanticipated discovery of human remains, the
County Coroner must be notified immediately. If
the human remains are determined to be
prehistoric, the coroner will notify the Native
American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which
will determine and notify a most likely
descendant (MLD). The MLD shall complete the
inspection of the site within 48 hours of
notification and may recommend scientific
removal and nondestructive analysis of human
remains and items associated with Native
American burials.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Live Oak Associates, Inc. (LOA) investigated the biological resources of an approximately 11-acre area in the City of Visalia (“project site”) that may be disturbed by proposed development of the Riggin Avenue Widening Project (“project”) and evaluated potential impacts to those resources associated with project development. The proposed project entails reconstruction of 1 mile of existing roadway (Riggin Avenue) to accommodate a four-lane arterial street with a total right-of-way width of 110 feet.
On January 7, 2022, LOA ecologist Colleen Del Vecchio surveyed the project site for its biotic habitats, the plants and animals occurring in those habitats, and significant habitat values that may be protected by state and federal law. At the time of the field survey, the project site consisted of ruderal/developed lands including a paved existing road (Riggin Avenue), associated infrastructure including sidewalks, drains, street trees, landscaped borders, electrical poles, traffic lights, and streetlights, and adjoining areas of graded and compacted soil within the footprint of the proposed road expansion. Lands within the vicinity of the project site are utilized primarily for commercial and residential purposes, with new residential development on the northern border of the project site.
The developed nature of the site and adjacent lands have created habitat conditions that are unsuitable for most native plants and wildlife. However, the project has the potential to result in construction-related mortality or disturbance of urban-adapted, native nesting birds that are protected under the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, California Migratory Bird Protection Act, and California Fish and Game Code. This potential impact would be considered significant under CEQA. Project construction outside the nesting season and avoidance of active nests identified during preconstruction surveys will reduce the magnitude of potential impacts to nesting birds to a less than significant level.
No other biological resources would be significantly affected by the project as defined by CEQA.
The project will have no effect on all locally occurring special status plant species, an insignificant effect, or no effect, on 24 locally occurring special status animal species, and no effect on sensitive natural communities, wildlife movement corridors, and waters of the U.S. or California. The project also appears to be consistent with local plans and ordinances. No Habitat Conservation Plans or Natural Community Conservation Plans are known to apply to the project. _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ ii Live Oak Associates, Inc.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The technical report that follows describes the biotic resources of an approximately 11-acre site (“project site” or “site”) that will be impacted by the Riggin Avenue Widening Project (“project”) and evaluates possible impacts to sensitive or protected biological resources that could result from project implementation. The project site is located along the existing Riggin Avenue between North Mooney Boulevard and North Dinuba Boulevard in the City of Visalia (Figure 1). The project site can be found on the Visalia U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle along the shared boundary of Sections 18 and 19 of Township 18 south, Range 25 east, Mount Diablo Base and Meridian (Figure 2).
1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Visalia proposes to reconstruct 1 mile of existing roadway between North Mooney Boulevard and North Dinuba Boulevard to accommodate a four-lane arterial street with a total right-of-way (ROW) width of 110 feet. Improvements would include new 12-foot vehicular travel lanes (four lanes total), new Class IV bike lanes, new street lighting, new landscaped medians, four new bus turnouts, new fire hydrants, and curb returns at all involved intersections.
Construction would require demolition of existing asphalt between North Mooney Boulevard and North Conyer Street, removal of several trees (seven total) on the north side of Riggin Avenue, removal and replacement of one drive approach, and relocation of 11 power poles. The project would affect approximately 11 acres within the City ROW along Riggin Avenue.

1.2 REPORT OBJECTIVES
This report addresses issues related to, 1) sensitive biotic resources occurring on the project site, 2) the federal, state, and local laws regulating such resources, and 3) mitigation measures that may be required to reduce the magnitude of anticipated project-related impacts and/or comply with permit requirements of state and federal resource agencies. As such, the objectives of this report are to:
• Summarize all site-specific information related to existing biological resources. • Make reasonable inferences about the biological resources that could occur on site based on habitat suitability and the proximity of the site to a species’ known range. • Summarize all state and federal natural resource protection laws that may be relevant to future site development.
• Identify and discuss project impacts to biological resources likely to occur on the site within the context of CEQA and state or federal laws.
• Identify avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation measures that would reduce the magnitude of project impacts in a manner consistent with the requirements of CEQA and that are generally consistent with the requirements of the resource agencies regulating affected biological resources.
1.3 STUDY METHODOLOGY
The analysis of impacts, as discussed in Section 3.0 of this report, is based on the known and potential biotic resources of the project site discussed in Section 2.0. Sources of information used in the preparation of this analysis included: (1) the California Natural Diversity Data Base (CDFW 2021), (2) the Online Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California (CNPS 2021), and (3) manuals, reports, and references related to plants and animals of the San Joaquin Valley region. The field survey of the project site was conducted on January 7, 2022 by LOA ecologist Colleen Del Vecchio. These surveys consisted of walking the project site while identifying the principal land uses and associated plant and animal species, and mapping habitat suitable for special status species and other sensitive biological resources.
LOA’s field investigation did not include a wetland delineation or focused surveys for special status species. The surveys were sufficient to generally describe those features of the site that could be subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), California 5 Live Oak Associates, Inc.
Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), and/or the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and to assess the significance of possible biological impacts associated with development of the site.

2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
2.1 REGIONAL SETTING
The project site is located in a portion of the southwestern San Joaquin Valley that has, for decades, experienced intensive agricultural and urban growth. The region’s ecosystem is best classified as a semi-arid, steppe climate. Warm dry summers are followed by cool moist winters. Summer temperatures commonly exceed 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and the relative humidity is generally very low. Winter high temperatures rarely rise much above 60 degrees Fahrenheit, with daytime averages below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Annual precipitation within the project site is about 11 inches, almost 75% of which falls between the months of December and April. Nearly all precipitation falls in the form of rain.
The project site is situated in the northern portion of the City of Visalia, within a densely-populated urban area that comprises mostly residential housing tracts, with some businesses. At the time of LOA’s field survey, lands adjoining the project site to the north were being developed for additional residential tract housing.
Native plant and animal species once abundant in the region have become locally extirpated or have experienced large reductions in their populations due to conversion of native habitats to agricultural and urban uses. Remaining native habitats are particularly valuable to native wildlife species including special status species that still persist in the region.
2.2 PROJECT SITE
At the time of the field survey, the project site consisted of an existing paved road and adjoining disturbed lands within the 110-foot ROW. The project site is relatively level, with an average elevation of approximately 330 feet (USGS 2022).
The project site contains three soil mapping units: Grangeville sandy loam, drained, 0 to 2 percent slopes; Nord fine sandy loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes; and Tagus loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes. Soils of the site have been significantly disturbed from urban development and agricultural activities. 7 Live Oak Associates, Inc.
As a result, the soils of the project site have no particular significance to biological resources potentially occurring on the site.
2.3 LAND USES/BIOTIC HABITATS
One land use/biotic habitat has been identified on the project site, ruderal/developed (Figure 5).
This land use/biotic habitat has experienced a high level of human disturbance and modification.
A list of the vascular plant species observed on the project site and a list of the terrestrial vertebrates using, or potentially using, the site is presented in Appendices A and B, respectively. Selected photographs of the project site are presented in Appendix C.
2.3.1 Ruderal/Developed
The project site consists entirely of ruderal/developed lands heavily influenced by human activities. At the time of LOA’s field survey, this land use was mostly made up of a paved existing road (Riggin Avenue) and its associated infrastructure including sidewalks, drains, street trees, landscaped borders, electrical poles, traffic lights, and streetlights. Street trees mainly comprised American basswood (Tilia americana), while landscaped borders included crapemyrtle (Lagerstroemia indica) and bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi). The northern portion of the project site, where the existing paved road will be extended, was characterized by graded and compacted soil and weedy growth of non-native grasses and forbs including foxtail brome (Bromus madritensis), foxtail barley (Hordeum murinum), common fiddleneck (Amsinckia intermedia), Russian thistle (Salsola tragus), whitestem filaree (Erodium moschatum), and London rocket (Sisymbrium irio), among others.
Although the wildlife habitat value of ruderal/developed lands within the project site is relatively low, these lands can support some wildlife species. Common reptiles such as the western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis) and Pacific gopher snake (Pituophis catenifer catenifer) could potentially use ruderal/developed areas of the project site.

within or adjacent to the project site included mourning doves (Zenaida macroura), northern mockingbirds (Mimus polyglottos), house finches (Haemorhous mexicanus), California scrub jays (Aphelocoma californica), and killdeer (Charadrius vociferus). Wintering birds observed included yellow-rumped warblers (Setophaga coronata), white-crowned sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys), and California gulls (Larus californicus). Other bird species expected at the project site include raptors such as the red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) and American kestrel (Falco sparverius), and other perching birds such as Brewer’s blackbird (Euphagus cyanocephalus), western kingbird (Tyrannus verticalis), and American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos).
Small mammals that would be expected to occur on ruderal/developed lands of the site include Botta’s pocket gophers (Thomomys bottae), California voles (Microtus californicus), house mice (Mus musculus), and deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus). Mammalian predators with the potential to occur on ruderal lands of the project site include disturbance-tolerant species such as the raccoon (Procyon lotor), striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis), and coyote (Canis latrans).
2.4 SPECIAL STATUS PLANTS AND ANIMALS
Many species of plants and animals within the state of California have low populations and/or limited distributions. Such species may be considered “rare” and are vulnerable to extirpation as the state’s human population grows and the habitats these species occupy are converted to agricultural and urban uses. As described more fully in Section 3.2, state and federal laws have provided CDFW and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) with a mechanism for conserving and protecting the diversity of plant and animal species native to the state. A sizable number of native plants and animals have been formally designated as “threatened” or “endangered” under state and federal endangered species legislation. Others have been designated as candidates for such listing. Still others have been designated as “species of special concern” by the CDFW. The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) has developed its own set of lists (i.e., California Rare Plant Ranks, or CRPR) of native plants considered rare, threatened, or endangered (CNPS 2021). Collectively, these plants and animals are referred to as “special status species.” 10 Live Oak Associates, Inc.
The California Natural Diversity Data Base (CDFW 2022) was queried for special status species occurrences in the nine USGS 7.5-minute quadrangles containing and immediately surrounding the project site (Cairns Corner, Exeter, Goshen, Ivanhoe, Monson, Paige, Traver, Tulare, and Visalia). These species, and their potential to occur on the project site, are listed in Table 1 on the following pages. Sources of information for this table included California’s Wildlife, Volumes I, II, and III (Zeiner et. al 1988-1990), The Jepson Manual: Vascular Plants of California, second edition (Baldwin et al 2012), and The California Native Plant Society’s Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California (CNPS 2021), Calflora.org, and eBird.org.
Special status species occurrences within 3.1 miles of the project site are depicted in Figure 4 and San Joaquin kit fox occurrences within a 10-mile radius of the site are presented in Figure 5.

2.5 JURISDICTIONAL WATERS
Jurisdictional waters include rivers, creeks, and drainages that have a defined bed and bank and which, at the very least, carry ephemeral flows. Jurisdictional waters also include lakes, ponds, reservoirs, and wetlands. Such waters may be subject to the regulatory authority of the USACE, the CDFW, and the RWQCB. See Section 3.8 of this report for additional information.
The project site does not contain jurisdictional waters or any other type of aquatic resource.
2.6 SENSITIVE NATURAL COMMUNITIES
Sensitive natural communities are those that are of limited distribution, distinguished by significant biological diversity, home to special status plant and animal species, of importance in maintaining water quality or sustaining flows, etc. Examples of sensitive natural communities include various types of wetlands, riparian habitat, and valley scrub habitats. CDFW has assigned State Ranks to California’s natural communities that reflect the condition and imperilment of that community throughout its range within the state. State Ranks are represented with a letter and number score.
Older ranks, which need to be updated in the CNDDB, may still contain a decimal "threat" rank of .1, .2, or .3, where .1 indicates very threatened status, .2 indicates moderate threat, and .3 indicates few or no current known threats.
The project site supports no sensitive natural communities.
2.7 WILDLIFE MOVEMENT CORRIDORS
Wildlife movement corridors are routes that animals regularly and predictably follow during seasonal migration, dispersal from native ranges, daily travel within home ranges, and inter- 19 Live Oak Associates, Inc.
population movements. Movement corridors in California are typically associated with valleys, ridgelines, and rivers and creeks supporting riparian vegetation.
The project supports no regular or predictable wildlife movement corridors. 20 Live Oak Associates, Inc.
3.0 RELEVANT GOALS, POLICIES, AND LAWS
In California, any project carried out or approved by a public agency that will result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment must comply with CEQA. The purpose of CEQA is to ensure that a project’s potential impacts on the environment are evaluated, and methods for avoiding or reducing these impacts are considered before the project is allowed to move forward. A secondary aim of CEQA is to provide justification to the public for the approval of any projects involving significant impacts on the environment.
According to Section 15382 of the CEQA Guidelines, a significant effect on the environment means a “substantial, or potentially substantial, adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project, including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historic or aesthetic interest.” Although the lead agency may set its own CEQA significance thresholds, project impacts to biological resources are generally considered to be significant if they would meet any of the following criteria established in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines:
• Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by CDFW or USFWS.
• Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or by CDFW or USFWS.
• Have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means.
• Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery site.
• Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance.
• Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan. 21 Live Oak Associates, Inc.
Furthermore, CEQA Guidelines Section 15065(a) requires the lead agency to make “mandatory findings of significance” if there is substantial evidence that a project may:
• Substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, or substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of an endangered, rare or threatened species. • Achieve short-term environmental goals to the detriment of long-term environmental goals.
• Produce environmental effects that are individually limited but cumulatively considerable, meaning that the incremental effects of the project are significant when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, other current projects, and probable future projects.
3.1 GENERAL PLAN POLICIES OF CITY OF VISALIA
In compliance with CEQA, the lead agency must consider conformance with applicable goals and policies of the General Plan of the City of Visalia. The General Plan has a single objective for the conservation of biological resources: “Protect and enhance natural vegetation throughout the Planning Area, especially types that are considered sensitive natural communities by the Department of Fish and Game.” The General Plan identifies a number of policies to be implemented to meet this objective.
Additionally, the City of Visalia has an oak tree preservation ordinance that was established pursuant to Visalia Municipal Code Chapter 12.24. This ordinance is for the preservation and protection of native valley oak trees (Quercus lobata) and landmark trees.
3.2 HABITAT CONSERVATION PLANS AND NATURAL COMMUNITY
CONSERVATION PLANS
Section 10 of the federal Endangered Species Act establishes a process by which non-federal projects can obtain authorization to incidentally take listed species, provided take is minimized and thoroughly mitigated. A Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) developed by the project applicant in collaboration with the USFWS and/or NMFS, ensures that such minimization and mitigation 22 Live Oak Associates, Inc.
will occur, and is a prerequisite to the issuance of a federal incidental take permit. Similarly, a Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP) developed by the project applicant in collaboration with CDFW, provides for the conservation of biodiversity within a project area, and permits limited incidental take of state-listed species.
3.3 THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES
In California, imperiled plants and animals may be afforded special legal protections under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) and/or Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA). Species may be listed as “threatened” or “endangered” under one or both Acts, and/or as “rare” under CESA. Under both Acts, “endangered” means a species is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range, and “threatened” means a species is likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future. Under CESA, “rare” means a species may become endangered if their present environment worsens. Both Acts prohibit “take” of listed species, defined under CESA as “to hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill, or attempt to hunt, pursue, catch, capture or kill” (California Fish and Game Code, Section 86), and more broadly defined under FESA to include “harm” (16 USC, Section 1532(19), 50 CFR, Section 17.3).
When state and federally listed species have the potential to be impacted by a project, the USFWS and CDFW must be included in the CEQA process. These agencies review the environmental document to determine the adequacy of its treatment of endangered species issues and to make project-specific recommendations for the protection of listed species. Projects that may result in the “take” of listed species must generally enter into consultation with the USFWS and/or CDFW pursuant to FESA and CESA, respectively. In some cases, incidental take authorization(s) from these agencies may be required before the project can be implemented.
3.4 CALIFORNIA FULLY PROTECTED SPECIES
The classification of certain animal species as “fully protected” was the State of California’s initial effort in the 1960s, prior to the passage of the California Endangered Species Act, to identify and provide additional protection to those species that were rare or faced possible extinction.
Following CESA enactment in 1970, many fully protected species were also listed as California 23 Live Oak Associates, Inc.
threatened or endangered. The list of fully protected species are identified, and their protections stipulated, in California Fish and Game Code Sections 3511 (birds), 4700 (mammals), 5050 (reptiles and amphibians), and fish (5515). Fully protected species may not be taken or possessed at any time and no licenses or permits may be issued for their take, except in conjunction with necessary scientific research and protection of livestock.
3.5 MIGRATORY BIRDS
The Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (FMBTA: 16 USC 703-712) prohibits killing, possessing, or trading in any bird species covered in one of four international conventions to which the United States is a party, except in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior.
The name of the act is misleading, as it actually covers almost all birds native to the United States, even those that are non-migratory. The FMBTA encompasses whole birds, parts of birds, and bird nests and eggs.
Native birds are also protected under California state law. The California Fish and Game Code makes it unlawful to take or possess any non-game bird covered by the FMBTA (Section 3513), as well as any other native non-game bird (Section 3800), even if incidental to lawful activities.
Moreover, the California Migratory Bird Protection Act, enacted in September 2019, clarifies native bird protection and increases protections where California law previously deferred to federal law.
3.6 BIRDS OF PREY
Birds of prey are protected in California under provisions of the Fish and Game Code (Section 3503.5), which states that it is unlawful to take, possess, or destroy any birds in the order Falconiformes (hawks and eagles) or Strigiformes (owls), as well as their nests and eggs. The bald eagle and golden eagle are afforded additional protection under the federal Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 USC 668), which makes it unlawful to kill birds or their eggs. 24 Live Oak Associates, Inc.
3.7 NESTING BIRDS
In California, protection is afforded to the nests and eggs of all birds. California Fish and Game Code (Section 3503) states that it is “unlawful to take, possess, or needlessly destroy the nest or eggs of any bird except as otherwise provided by this code or any regulation adopted pursuant thereto.” Breeding-season disturbance that causes nest abandonment and/or loss of reproductive effort is considered a form of “take” by the CDFW.
3.8 WETLANDS AND OTHER JURISDICTIONAL WATERS
Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) regulates the discharge of dredged or fill material into “navigable waters” (33 U.S.C. §1344), defined in the CWA as “the waters of the United States, including the territorial seas” (33 U.S.C. §1362(7)). The CWA does not supply a definition for waters of the U.S., and that has been the subject of considerable debate since the CWA’s passage in 1972. A variety of regulatory definitions have been promulgated by the two federal agencies responsible for implementing the CWA, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and USACE. These definitions have been interpreted, and in some cases, invalidated, by federal courts.
Most recently, waters of the U.S. were defined by the Navigable Waters Protection Rule (NWPR).
The new rule was published in the Federal Register on April 21, 2020 and took effect on June 22, 2020. However, on August 30, 2021, in the case of Pascua Yaqui Tribe v. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona vacated and remanded the NWPR. In light of this order, the EPA and USACE have halted implementation of the NWPR and, until further notice, are interpreting “waters of the United States” consistent with the pre-2015 regulatory regime.
The interpretation of waters of the U.S. prior to 2015 generally included:
• All waters which are currently used, or were used in the past, or may be susceptible to use in interstate or foreign commerce, including all waters which are subject to the ebb and flow of the tide.
• All interstate waters including interstate wetlands.
25 Live Oak Associates, Inc.
• All other waters such as intrastate lakes, rivers, streams (including intermittent streams), mudflats, sandflats, wetlands, sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, playa lakes, or natural ponds, the use, degradation or destruction of which could affect interstate or foreign commerce.
• All impoundments of waters otherwise defined as waters of the United States under the definition.
• Tributaries of waters identified in the bulleted items above.
As determined by the United States Supreme Court in its 2001 Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (SWANCC) decision, channels and wetlands isolated from other jurisdictional waters cannot be considered jurisdictional on the basis of their use, hypothetical or observed, by migratory birds. Similarly, in its 2006 consolidated Carabell/Rapanos decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a significant nexus between a wetland and other navigable waters must exist for the wetland itself to be considered a jurisdictional water.
All activities that involve the discharge of dredge or fill material into waters of the U.S. are subject to the permit requirements of the USACE. Such permits are typically issued on the condition that the applicant agrees to provide mitigation that result in no net loss of wetland functions or values. No permit can be issued until the RWQCB issues a Section 401 Water Quality Certification (or waiver of such certification) verifying that the proposed activity will meet state water quality standards.
Under the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act of 1969, the State Water Resources Control Board has regulatory authority to protect the water quality of all surface water and groundwater in the State of California (“waters of the State”). Nine RWQCBs oversee water quality at the local and regional level. The RWQCB for a given region regulates discharges of fill or pollutants into waters of the State through the issuance of various permits and orders. Discharges into waters of the State that are also waters of the U.S. require a Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the RWQCB as a prerequisite to obtaining certain federal permits, such as a Section 404 Clean Water Act permit. Discharges into all waters of the State, even those that are not also waters of the U.S., require Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs), or waivers of WDRs, from the 26 Live Oak Associates, Inc.
RWQCB. The RWQCB also administers the Construction Storm Water Program and the federal National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. Projects that disturb one or more acres of soil must obtain a Construction General Permit under the Construction Storm Water Program. A prerequisite for this permit is the development of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) by a certified Qualified SWPPP Developer. Projects that discharge wastewater, storm water, or other pollutants into a water of the U.S. may require a NPDES permit.
CDFW has jurisdiction over the bed and bank of natural drainages and lakes according to provisions of Section 1601 and 1602 of the California Fish and Game Code. Activities that may substantially modify such waters through the diversion or obstruction of their natural flow, change or use of any material from their bed or bank, or the deposition of debris require a Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration. If CDFW determines that the activity may adversely affect fish and wildlife resources, a Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement will be prepared. Such an agreement typically stipulates that certain measures will be implemented to protect the habitat values of the lake or drainage in question.

4.0 IMPACTS AND MITIGATIONS
As discussed, the project is reconstruction of 1 mile of existing roadway to accommodate a fourlane arterial street within an approximately 11-acre project site. Potential project impacts to biological resources and mitigations are discussed below.
4.1 POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT PROJECT IMPACTS/MITIGATION
4.1.1 Project Impacts to Nesting Birds
Potential Impacts. The project site contains some suitable nesting habitat for a number of avian species protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act and related state laws. During the site survey, small stick nests (inactive) were observed in trees adjacent to the project site. Trees and shrubs are few within the project boundary, but do offer additional nesting habitat for some bird species adapted to urban environments. If birds were to be nesting on or adjacent to the project site at the time of construction, project-related activities could result in the abandonment of active nests or direct mortality to these birds. Construction activities that adversely affect the nesting success of migratory birds or raptors, or result in mortality of individual birds constitute a violation of state and federal laws (see Sections 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7) and would be considered a significant impact under CEQA.
Mitigation. In order to minimize construction disturbance to nesting birds and raptors, the applicant will implement the following measure(s), as necessary, prior to project construction:
Mitigation 4.1.1a (Avoidance). In order to avoid impacts to nesting migratory birds and raptors, construction will occur, where possible, outside the nesting season, or between September 1 and January 31.
Mitigation 4.1.1b (Pre-construction Surveys). If construction must occur during the nesting season (February 1-August 31), a qualified biologist will conduct pre-construction surveys for active migratory bird and raptor nests within 10 days of the onset of these activities. Nest surveys will include all areas on and within 250 feet of the project site. If no active nests are found within the survey area, no further mitigation is required.
Mitigation 4.1.1d (Establish Buffers). Should any active nests be identified, the biologist will establish suitable disturbance-free buffers around the nests. Buffers will be identified on the ground with flagging or fencing, and will be maintained until the biologist has determined that the young have fledged and the nests are no longer active. 28 Live Oak Associates, Inc.
Compliance with the above mitigation measures would reduce impacts to nesting raptors and migratory birds to a less than significant level under CEQA and ensure compliance with state and federal law.
4.2 LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT PROJECT IMPACTS
4.2.1 Special Status Plants
Potential Impacts. Eighteen special status vascular plant species are known to occur in the region (see Table 1). Due to habitat loss or degradation associated with the high level of human disturbance of the project site, the absence of any present or historically suitable habitat, and/or the site being situated outside the species’ range, none of these species are expected to occur within the project site. Therefore, the proposed project would not affect these species or their habitats, and impacts would be less than significant.
Mitigation. Mitigation measures are not warranted.
4.2.2 Special Status Animal Species Absent from, or Unlikely to Occur on the Project Site Potential Impacts. Of the 24 special status animal species that potentially occur in the project vicinity, all but one species, the pallid bat (Antrozous pallidus), are considered absent or unlikely to occur within the project site due to past and ongoing disturbance of the site and surrounding lands, the absence of suitable habitat, and/or the site being situated outside of the species’ known distribution (see Table 1). The project does not have the potential to significantly impact these species through construction mortality or loss of habitat because there is little or no likelihood that they are present.
Mitigation. Mitigation is not warranted.
4.2.3 Special Status Animal Species that May Occur on the Project Site as Occasional or Regular Foragers but Breed Elsewhere
Potential Impacts. One special status animal, the pallid bat, has the potential to forage on the site from time to time but would not breed or roost on the site (see Table 1). Potential foraging habitat on the project site is not uniquely important for these species and similar or higher quality foraging 29 Live Oak Associates, Inc.
habitat is relatively abundant in the region. This species would not be vulnerable to constructionrelated injury or mortality because they are nocturnal, and their active period of foraging is expected to be at night when construction has ceased. Even if one or more individuals were to occur on the site during construction, their high level of mobility would allow them to easily evade any danger. For these reasons, project impacts to the pallid bat are considered less than significant under CEQA.
Mitigation. Mitigation is not warranted.
4.2.4 Wildlife Movement Corridors
Potential Impacts. As discussed, this project site is surrounded by urban development that is expanding just north of the project area. There are no physical features (riparian corridors, valleys, etc.) at the project site that would support regular or predicted wildlife movement. Therefore, the project will result in a less than significant effect on wildlife movement corridors.
Mitigation. No mitigation is warranted.
4.2.5 Sensitive Natural Communities
Potential Impacts. Sensitive natural communities are absent from the project site. The only habitat present within the project site is ruderal/developed.
Mitigation. No mitigation is warranted.
4.2.6 Waters of the State and the United States
Potential Impacts. Wetlands and jurisdictional waters are absent from the project site.
Mitigation. No mitigation is warranted.
4.2.7 Local Policies or Habitat Conservation Plans
Potential Impacts. No valley oak trees are located within the project site. There are five crapemyrtle trees (< 4 in. Diameter at Breast Height (DBH)), a pecan tree (26 in. DBH), and a hackcherry tree (22 in. DBH) that are expected to be removed from the project site to expand the existing road. These trees are not protected by City of Visalia’s Oak Tree Mitigation Policy (2007), 30 Live Oak Associates, Inc.
which was developed pursuant to Visalia Municipal Code, and therefore no mitigation is required.
No known Habitat Conservation Plans are in effect for the area. The project appears to be consistent with the City of Visalia General Plan.
Mitigation. No mitigation is warranted.

VMT Technical Memo
1 VISION THAT MOVES YOUR COMMUNITY
TJKM conducted a VMT (Vehicle Miles Traveled) analysis for the proposed Riggin Avenue Widening (Mooney to Conyer) project. The project is located in the city of Visalia and involves the reconstruction of
0.75 mile of existing Riggin Ave between N Mooney Blvd and Conyer Street. The project is located in the northern part of the city. Figure 1 shows the location of the project.

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
Date: January 12, 2022
To: Molly Baumeister, 4Creeks
From: Arthur Chen, TJKM
Project No.: 092-X Riggin Widening
Mooney to Conyer VMT
Jurisdiction: Mountain View
Subject: Riggin Ave Widening Mooney to Conyer VMT Analysis Memorandum (DRAFT) 2 VISION THAT MOVES YOUR COMMUNITY
For VMT forecasting, the final adopted Visalia VMT guidelines were used. The guidelines state that assessment of a transportation project’s VMT should disclose the VMT without the project and the difference in VMT with the project. Any growth in VMT attributable to the transportation project would result in a significant impact. A significant transportation project impact is presumed when the VMT increases over the No Project condition.
TJKM utilized the latest Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG) Travel Demand Model to forecast the net change in total VMT for Tulare County, with and without the proposed project.
An additional lane was added on Riggin Avenue in both directions from Mooney Blvd to Conyer Street and the model was re-ran with the base year and forecast year conditions. Tables 1 and 2 summarize the VMT results from the model.

Based on the TCAG model, the proposed project is not anticipated to results in a net increase in total VMT.
In addition, TJKM analyzed the total number of trips from the model with and without project for both the base and forecast years. The number of trips did not increase between the base and cumulative conditions.
3 VISION THAT MOVES YOUR COMMUNITY
The City of Visalia’s VMT guidelines stipulated a study on induced demand for roadway expansion projects.
The following are from the guidelines on how to estimate induced VMT impacts from roadway expansion projects (UC Davis Induced Travel Calculator NCST Method):
1. Determine total lane-miles over an area that fully captures travel behavior changes resulting from the project (generally the region, but for projects affecting interregional travel look at all affected regions).
2. Determine the percentage change in total lane miles that will result from the project.
3. Determine the total existing VMT over that same area.
4. Multiply the percentage increase n lane miles by the existing VMT, and then multiply that by the elasticity from the induced travel literature:
[% increase in lane miles] x [existing VMT] x [elasticity] = [VMT resulting from the project] While the travel demand model forecasted no growth in VMT, TJKM used the above formula to calculate induced VMT from the Riggins project.
% increase in lane miles = 0.75 / 10,756 = 0.009% (The project widens 0.75 mile of Riggins avenue, and 10,756 miles are the total lane miles in Tulare County from the TCAG model).
Existing VMT = 15,164,825 (The existing VMT of the region pulled from the TCAG Model) Elasticity = 1 (The elasticity value was pulled from the transportation analysis guidelines).
Putting the three values together generates an induced daily VMT of 1,410 for the Riggins Widening. As a percentage of the existing VMT, this value is statistically insignificant (1,410/15,164,825 =0.009%).
As described in CEQA Section 15064.3: “Vehicle miles traveled” refers to the amount and distance of automobile travel “attributable to a project.” As described separately in the Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA (Governor’s Office of Planning & Research, December 2018), VMT re-routed from other origins or destinations as the result of a project would not be attributable to a project except to the extent that the re-routing results in a net increase in VMT. A roadway widening could result in a net increase in total VMT if the roadway is currently operating at capacity, in which case the added capacity provided by a road widening could result in added VMT due to latent demand. However, this is not the case for the proposed project. The Visalia General Plan EIR (2010) noted that Riggin Avenue served approximately 7,800 daily vehicles, well below the estimated capacity of more than 15,000 daily vehicles for the existing 2-lane configuration. Additionally, excess capacity is also currently provided on parallel routes such as State Route 198, further reducing the likelihood that the proposed project would result in a net increase in total VMT. Riggin Avenue also provides a direct connection to Highway 99 via Betty Drive, which could reduce VMT for some trips that would otherwise travel on State Route 198.
Even though the calculation resulted in an increase of 1,410 VMT, it is highly unlikely there will be increased demand from a 0.75 mile widening due to excess capacity available from the routes mentioned in the previous paragraph.
In addition, the guidelines states the induced VMT growth stems from induced land use; the Visalia general plan does not include any additional residential or commercial land uses in the Riggins / Mooney 4 VISION THAT MOVES YOUR COMMUNITY
and Dinuba area for the project lifespan. It is highly unlikely the widening will induce demand since additional capacity exists and no additional land uses are planned for the area.
According to the TCAG model, the project is not anticipated to increase VMT. In addition, the induced VMT for this project is statistically 0, so TJKM finds that VMT impacts associated with the proposed project are less than significant and no mitigation is required.

Summary
The City of Visalia (City), in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), proposes to widen Riggin Avenue between Mooney Boulevard and Conyer Street from an undivided two-lane road to a four-lane divided road with a separated frontage road, median, sidewalks, curb and gutters, and streetlights as part of the Riggin Avenue Widening Between Mooney Boulevard and Conyer Street Project (Project).
Existing Environment
A review of aerial photography and the City of Visalia General Plan Land Use Map were studied to identify land uses that could be subject to traffic and construction noise impacts from the proposed Project. Existing land uses in the project area were categorized by land use type and Activity Category, and the extent of frequent human use. Land uses in the project vicinity consist of residential, retail service, and agricultural parcels. Receptors were included in this assessment if they were located in the first row of receivers in sensitive land uses adjacent to the proposed Riggin Avenue widening that would benefit from a lowered noise level. A total of 43 (forty-three) receptor locations were modelled within this evaluation area. As stated in the Protocol, noise abatement is only considered where frequent human use occurs and where a lowered noise level would be of benefit.
Accordingly, this impact analysis focuses on locations with defined outdoor activity areas, such as residential backyards and common use areas at multi-family residences.
The geometry of the project relative to nearby existing and planned land uses was also identified. The topography of the project area varies in elevation throughout the proposed project right of way.
Short-term measurement locations were selected to serve as representative modeling locations and for noise model calibration purposes. A project Noise Study Report Work Plan showing the proposed measurement locations was submitted to Caltrans on November 12th, 2021 and Caltrans provided guidance on November 16th, 2021.
Short-term monitoring was conducted at three (3) locations on November 30th, 2021 using Larson David Model 824 Type 1 sound level meters. Measurements were taken for a duration of 15-minutes at each site. Meteorological conditions (temperature, wind speed and direction, relative humidity) were logged for each measurement session on field data forms, provided in Appendix D.
Summary
Riggin Avenue Widening - Mooney Boulevard to Conyer Street Project – Noise Study Report iii Future Traffic Noise Impacts
Traffic noise levels were predicted using the FHWA Traffic Noise Model Version 2.5 (TNM 2.5). Traffic volumes, vehicle classification percentages, and traffic speeds under existing and design year (2030) conditions were provided by the Visalia General Plan Update – Final Environmental Impact Report (City of Visalia 2014) for input into the traffic noise model. Since the Final Environmental Impact Report only includes traffic volume projections up to 2030, a projected annual growth rate of 2.6% was applied to estimate peak hour traffic in the existing baseline year 2021 and design year 2040.
Under the No Build Alternative, Riggin Avenue would not be widened. Without the widening, Riggin Avenue would not match the planned width as stated in the City of Visalia’s circulation element within the City’s General Plan. The traffic noise modeling results for the design year 2040 No Build Alternative range from 43 to 67 dBA Leq(h), as shown in Table B-1 of Appendix B. One receiver, R9, would approach or exceed its respective NAC Activity Category standard under No Build conditions in the design year 2040.
The design year traffic noise modeling results for the Build Alternative range from 44 to 68 dBA Leq(h), as shown in Table B-1 of Appendix B. Noise levels from Existing to Build conditions are expected to increase by up to 6 dBA. Noise levels under 2040 Build conditions did not approach (within 1 dBA) or exceed their respective NAC Activity Category standard at any existing evaluated receivers. One receiver, R40, would experience noise levels exceeding its respective NAC (Activity Category B) in the design year; however, this receiver represents multiple undeveloped residences, and the final location of their future outdoor use areas, as well as soundwall heights, are unknown. Based on information provided by the City, a minimum 6-foot soundwall was assumed in the traffic noise model to be built at future residences. This receiver was analyzed to provide information that will allow the local community to avoid noise-incompatible future land development. Therefore, no further noise abatement evaluation was required.
Construction Noise Impacts
No adverse noise impacts from construction are anticipated because construction would be conducted in accordance with the Caltrans’ Standard Specifications 14-8.02 “Noise Control.” Construction noise would be short-term, intermittent and overshadowed by traffic noise within the project area.

Riggin Avenue Widening Between Mooney Boulevard and Conyer Street Project – Noise Study Report 1 Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1. Purpose of the Noise Study Report
The purpose of this Noise Study Report (NSR) is to evaluate noise impacts and abatement under the requirements of Title 23, Part 772 of the Code of Federal Regulations (23 CFR 772) “Procedures for Abatement of Highway Traffic Noise.” Title 23, Part 772 provides procedures for preparing operational and construction noise studies and evaluating noise abatement considered for federal and federal-aid highway projects. According to 23 CFR 772.3, all highway projects that are developed in conformance with this regulation are deemed to be in conformance with Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) noise standards.
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Traffic Noise Analysis Protocol for New Highway Construction, Reconstruction, and Retrofit Barrier Projects (Protocol) (Caltrans 2020) provides Caltrans policy for implementing 23 CFR 772 in California. The Protocol outlines the requirements for preparing NSRs.
1.2. Project Purpose and Need
The purpose of the project is to:
• Improve existing and future traffic operations by adding an additional eastbound and westbound travel lane to accommodate existing and additional future traffic; • Provide sidewalk connectivity on the north side of Riggin Avenue between North Mooney Boulevard and North Conyer Street; and
• Improve traffic and pedestrian safety by adding a 17’ frontage road along the south side of Riggin Avenue.
The project is needed to:
• Bring the ultimate roadway width into conformance with the City of Visalia General Plan Circulation Element;
• Fill the gap for pedestrian travel mode that currently exists between North Mooney Boulevard and North Conyer Street; and
• Protect the fronting residents along the south side of Riggin Ave from high speed arterial traffic and protect motorists along Riggin Ave from ingress and egress of vehicles along the fronting residents.
Riggin Avenue Widening Between Mooney Boulevard and Conyer Street Project – Noise Study Report 2 Chapter 2. Project Description
The City of Visalia, in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), proposes to widen Riggin Avenue between Mooney Boulevard and Conyer Street from an undivided two-lane road to a four-lane divided road with a separated frontage road, median, sidewalks, curb and gutters, and streetlights as part of the Riggin Avenue Widening Between Mooney Boulevard and Conyer Street Project (Project).
2.1. No Build Alternative
Under the No Build Alternative, Riggin Avenue would not be widened. Without the widening, Riggin Avenue would not match the planned width as stated in the City of Visalia’s circulation element within the City’s General Plan.
2.2. Build Alternative
The proposed Project would widen 0.72 miles of the arterial classified roadway from Mooney Boulevard to Conyer Street to the ultimate roadway width as planned for in the City of Visalia’s circulation element within the City’s General Plan. The project will widen the existing two-lane undivided roadway into four-lane divided roadway to meet the current traffic demands within the existing 110’ right of way width. The widening project will include concrete work such as the installation of sidewalk, curb and gutter replacement, bus stop, fire bay, 10’ center median, and ADA curb ramp improvements; utility relocation; storm drain extensions; streetlighting; fiber interconnect; and a 17’ frontage road for the homes along Riggin Avenue.
