Surrounding land uses and setting; briefly Light industrial buildings to the describe the project's surroundings: north, south, and east; Petaluma River to the west Other public agencies whose approval is Sonoma County Water Agency, required (e.g, permits, financial approval, or Sonoma County Transportation & participation agreements): Public Works, California Department of Fish and Wildlife (1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement), Regional Water Quality Control Board (401 Water Quality Certification), the California Department of Water Resources as project grant funding Page 1 of 25 January 7, 2019 I. Description of Project: The proposed project will provide continued flood improvements along the Petaluma River with the fourth phase of the Denman Reach project by providing offline detention basins at Denman Reach in order to capture peak flows during storm events, and sediment removal near the Corona Road bridge in order to return the channel to the original cross section designed during bridge installation. The detention basins at Denman Reach will be divided up into two basins within the parcel that are separated by the existing sewer and water mains that split the parcel. Each basin will have a spillway opening to allow the peak flows into the basin. The spillways will be installed in line with the existing trail, which will be maintain compliance with the guidelines set forth by the American Disabilities Act. This project will also propose an additional 1,000 linear feet of a loop trail around the basins. The detention basins will provide nearly 10 acre -ft of storage bY excavating approximately 17,000 cubic vards of soil, which will be off -hauled to an appropriate dump site. Another aspect of this portion of the project will be to create seasonal wetlands to mitigate the existing wetlands that are being removed as part of the basin excavation. The sediment removal at the Corona Road bridge will remove roughly 6,150 cubic yards of sediment build up to restore the channel to the section designed during the bridge installation. To accomplish this task, vegetation, as well as, several trees within the current channel will have to be removed.

The removed Page 2 of 25 January 7, 2019 trees will be mitigated within the new channel along the newly -graded slopes. Riprap is planned to be installed along the bridge abutments to prevent scouring from occurring. The potential beneficial hydrological impacts of increasing the flood water capacity within this Reach are addressed in the attached WEST Consultants, Inc., "Denman Reach Basins and Corona Bridge Sediment Removal (Denman Reach Phase 4)", dated November 21, 2018, which is attached and incorporated herein by reference (see Attachment II). This project is one of numerous small, incremental, low impact projects throughout the Petaluma River Watershed seen as integral to a long-term flood reduction and riparian corridor restoration strategy. The City has previously received three phases of grant funding from the California Department of Water Resources, for acquisition and restoration of 7 parcels along the Petaluma River, within the Denman Reach area. Implementation of these projects is undertaken pursuant to the Petaluma River Access and Enhancement Plan (River Plan, adopted in 1996 and readopted within the General Plan 2025 in 2008). This project includes the acquisition of one parcel along Industrial Avenue, within Denman Reach. Funding for the acquisition and all the physical improvements have been secured through the State Department of Water Resources and Sonoma Water. The City proposes to continue the implementation of the River Plan through this Reach of the Petaluma River. Phases 1 and 2 were completed and accepted by the City in December 2005 and Phase 3 was completed and accepted in March of 2017. Phase 4 is anticipated to begin construction in July 2019 and be complete and accepted by the City by December 2019, I. Alternative Analysis: a. No Action Alternative —When analyzing the advanta e disadvantaSea %J the proposed project, the results are always compared against the existing conditions to see whether or not the project would provide a practical benefit Based on the Hydraulic Analysis provided by WEST Consultants the proposed project will reduce the flood levels around the Corona bridge by 4 to 8 inches for the 25 -year storm event and 641 inches for the 100-3ear storm levels. Typically, the sediment removal would cause adverse effects downstream due to the increased volumes that will pass through, but when it is paired with the detention basins, the negative effects are minimized. b. Floodplain Bench Widening Alternative — During the planning stages of the Denman Reach Phase 4 project, multiple options were analyzed within the Denman Reach area to determine which option would produce the best results. One of the alternatives was to widen the existing floodplain to further slowdown the river flows as they passed through this, however, upon analysis as described in Attachment II, it was determined that Page 3 of 25 January7, 2019 wideninga_ dually caused negative impacts to the downstream flow, with only minimal positive benefits. c. Corona Bridge Replacement — Due to the possibility that the bridge piers across the river channel were causing many of the impacts to the that led to sediment accumulation, one of the alternatives to mitigate the problem was to remove and replace the existing bridge with one that would span the whole channel with no piers. Unfortunately, the cost to complete this alternative far exceeded what the City of Petaluma could afford. New bridge abutments would also have to be installed, which would have a substantial effect on the environment. d. Wetland Detention Basin — To minimize and/or potentially eliminate compensatory mitigation of the wetlands removed during basin excavation, a wetland forming detention basin design was analyzed for the project. This alternative was not chosen due to the City's concerns with the ability to maintain the functionality of the wetlands as mitigation wetlands. The City currently does not have the funding in Parks Maintenance to properly monitor and perform the necessary maintenance on this type of design. e. Alternate Detention Basin Locations — Alternate locations for the detention basins were considered during the planning and design of this project, however there were not many sites that were available to the City. The key benefit to the current planned location for the detention basins was the City's ability to acquire the land due to the property owners' willingness to sell. Many of the other potential locations downstream were unavailable for purchase or were outside of City limits. The adjacent property, just northwest of the current property would have also provided similar flooding benefits, however, m an attempt to avoid impacting the existing seasonal wetlands, this site was not chosen.

In many cases, background studies performed in connection with the projects indicate no impacts. A NO IMPACT answer in the last column reflects this determination. Where there is a need for clarifying discussion, the discussion is included either following the applicable section of the checklist or is within the body of the environmental document itself. The words "significant" and "significance" used throughout the following checklist are related to CEQA, not NEPA, impacts. The questions in this form are intended to encourage the thoughtful assessment of impacts and do not represent thresholds of significance. Potentially Less Than Less Than No Impact Significant Significant Significant Impact with Impact Mitigation I. AESTHETICS: Would the project: 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 a state scenic highway? c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would ❑ ❑ ❑ adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Discussion: The majority of the Petaluma River Flood Management Denman Phase 4 project area is primarily disturbed grassland, devoid of trees and shrubs. The majority of the land will be used as detention basins. Vegetation will be provided along the frontage of the site along Industrial Avenue in order to preserve and improve the visual character of the property II. AGRICULTURE AND FOREST RESOURCES: Potentially In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are Significant significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the Impact California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to information compiled by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state's inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment Project; and the forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board. Would the project: a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of ElStatewide Import ance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?

Discussion: A biological Resource Assessment was completed by WRA, Inc. that covers the City's Petaluma River Flood Management Denman Phase 4 project and is attached and incorporated herein by reference. The biological assessment and subsequent work effort was performed in order to determine plant communities present in the Study Area, if existing conditions provided suitable habitat for any special -status plant or wildlife species, and if sensitive habitats are present. Additionally, a routine jurisdictional wetland delineation and delineation of streams and riparian areas was conducted concurrently with the site assessment. According to a search of the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) maintained by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), 90 special -status plant species have been documented in the vicinity of the project area, 6 special -status plant species have a moderate potential to occur within the project area. Based on review of the CNDDB and United States Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS), 84 special -status wildlife species have been recorded in the vicinity of the project area, 19 special -status wildlife species have a moderate to high potential to occur within the project area. The project area is divided up between 6 different biological communities, three of which are non - sensitive biological communities (Developed, non-native grassland, and stormwater retention basin), and three that are sensitive (Perennial stream, seasonal wetland depression, and riparian red willow thicket). The perennial stream, also known as the Petaluma River, makes up about 0.27 acres, or 383 linear feet, of the Sensitive Biological Community within the project area, and likely flows 12 months out of the year. The woody species found on the banks include box elder, Oregon Ash, California bay, arroyo willow, and red willow. Shrubby and herbaceous vegetation on the banks includes Himalayan blackberry, stinging nettle, flat nutsedge, smartweed, mugwort, and poison hemlock. This is also a designated essential fish habitat for coho and chinook salmon. The project area does contain approximately 0.24 acres of seasonal wetland depressions. The vegetation is dominated by hydrophytic grasses and forbs, with the most frequently observed species being Italian rye grass, and curly dock. Page 8 of 25 January 7, 2019 Of the non -sensitive biological communities, the developed land makes up 0.5 acres of the site and is largely devoid of vegetation. A riparian red willow thicket and coast redwood trees were identified as being within the developed area. The non-native grassland makes up the majority of the project area at 5.42 acres and is mostly dominated by two non-native grass species including Harding grass and Italian Rye grass. Individual native oak trees within this community may be considered "protected trees" per the Petaluma Tree Preservation Ordinance. A permit from the City of Petaluma will be acquired for the removal of any protected tree. The Denman Reach Phase 4 of the Petaluma River is also within the range of the federally -listed (threatened) California red -legged frog (CRLF). A reconnaissance survey conducted for the Denman Reach confirmed the presence of suitable habitat, and since CRLF is known to occur within the watershed; is presumed to be present. Mitigation Measure BIO -1: Impacts to Waters of the United States, and Waters of the State Prior to filling of jurisdictional waters, or construction activities within Corps, RWQCB or CDFW jurisdiction, necessary regulatory permits will be obtained from the appropriate agencies. Regulatory permits to be obtained include a Corps Permit, Regional Water Quality Control Board Section 401 Water Quality Certification and/or Waste Discharge Requirement. Prior to proposed filling of jurisdictional waters, compliance with all regulatory agency permit conditions shall be demonstrated. Permanent impacts to jurisdictional wetlands will be mitigated at a 1.5:1 ratio at a minimum, with the 1:1 relating to on-site restoration and 0.5 of additional mitigation to compensate for temporal losses, on a functions and values basis by: (1) restoring wetlands in the Study Area; (2) purchasing an appropriate amount of mitigation credits by an approved mitigation bank, or (3) another type of mitigation as approved by the Corps, RWQCB, and/or CDFW through the permitting process. With the implementation of these measures, the Project impact on waters of the U.S. and State will be less than significant. Mitigation Measure BIO -2: Impacts to Riparian Vegetation Prior to removing riparian vegetation or construction activities within CDFW or RWQCB jurisdiction, necessary regulatory permits will be obtained from the appropriate agencies. Regulatory permits to be obtained include a CFGC Section 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement. The project shall comply with all regulatory agency permit conditions and compensatory mitigation measures as determined and required by regulatory agencies during permit authorization but shall be no less than 1:1 replacement ratio. Mitigation options will include the following: (1) planting replacement riparian vegetation, (2) purchase of mitigation bank credits from an approved mitigation bank, and/or (3) paying an in -lieu fee to a natural resource agency or habitat resource organization. For habitat that is preserved and/or established for mitigation, a Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (HMIVIP) shall be prepared. The HMMP will include a detailed description of restoration/enhancement/preservation actions; restoration performance criteria for each biological parameter (i.e., native/invasive plants, wildlife use); and monitoring/maintenance/reporting requirements for each biological parameter to evaluate restoration performance criteria. With the implementation of these measures, the Project impact on riparian vegetation will be less than significant. Mitigation Measure 13I0 -3: Protected Tree Removal A permit from the City of Petaluma will be acquired for the removal of any protected tree within City limits. Conditions of approval may include tree replacement plantings or the payment of in -lieu fees. With the implementation of these measures, the Project impact on protected trees will be less than significant. Page 9 of 25 January 7, 2019 Mitigation Measure BIO -4: Potential Impacts to Special -status Plant Species Six special -status plant species have potential to occur in the Study Area. To avoid impacts to special -status plants, protocol -level surveys shall be conducted during the documented bloom period of the species. Two site visits, including one early -season (May), and one late -season (July) will be sufficient to cover the bloom periods of the six species with potential to occur. Survey timing may fluctuate based on blooming periods of appropriate reference site locations. If special -status plant surveys result in negative findings, no impacts would occur, and no mitigation would be. required. However, if special -status plants are identified in the impact area, mitigation will be required. Mitigation will include avoidance, or if avoidance is not feasible, seeds collection and re-establishment at a minimum 1:1 ratio (number of plant established: number of plants impacted) in preserved, suitable habitat. Re-established populations shall be monitored annually in accordance with an approved HMMP for a minimum of five years. Reports describing performance results will be prepared and submitted for years 1, 3; and 5 during the monitoring period. With the implementation of these measures, the Project impact on special -status plants will be less than significant. Mitigation Measure BIO -5: Bat Avoidance While trees are not typically used as hibernation roosts, mature oaks and other large trees on the property could potentially be used as day or maternity roosting sites by bats. All bat roosts, including those of non -special -status bats are protected by CDFW. To avoid impacts to roosting bats, any project activities that would impact potential bat roosts shall be initiated outside of the maternity roosting season (March 1 — July 31). If project work such as the felling of trees cannot occur outside of the maternity season, then a bat roost survey shall be conducted within 14 days prior to the start of such activities. Any structures or trees that are determined to support roosts shall have a 200 -foot no work buffer placed around them, and the buffer shall not be lifted until the maternity season has completed. In addition, when any large trees are removed, they shall be allowed to lie undisturbed on the ground for one night to allow any roosting bats to escape on their own before the trees are processed. With the implementation of these measures, the Project impact on bats will be less than significant. Mitigation Measure BIO -6: Bird Avoidance For the protection of special -status birds, and native nesting birds protected by the MBTA and CFGC, future Project activities shall occur outside of the nesting season from September 1 — January 31, to the extent feasible. If working outside of the nesting season is not possible, and project activities are initiated during the nesting season (February 1— August 31), a qualified wildlife biologist shall conduct a nesting bird survey no more than 14 days prior to the start of Project activities. If no active nests are identified during the surveys, no impacts will occur to birds and work will progress without restriction. If active nests are identified, a no -disturbance buffer around the nest shall be implemented to avoid impacts to nesting birds. Buffers will be determined by a qualified biologist, and typically range from 25 feet to 500 feet depending on the species and protection status of that species. Once an active nest is determined to no longer be active, because of young fledging or predation, the buffer around the nest shall be removed and work shall progress without restriction. With the implementation of these measures, the Project impact on nesting and/or protected birds will be less than significant. Page 10 of 25 January 7, 2019 Mitigation measure BIO -7: Special -status fish Aquatic habitat activities shall be completed during the dry season, between July 15 and October 1. Regulatory approval shall be obtained for all work within potentially jurisdictional areas from respective agencies. Approvals from the RWQCB, CDFW, and Corps are required based on project designs (City of Petaluma 2016). The Petaluma River is also designated critical habitat for California central coast chinook and California central coast steelhead, and is considered EFH for coho and chinook salmon. Therefore, it is likely that the Corps will consult with the USFWS and NMFS for impacts to the Petaluma River. All work within these areas shall conform to any conditions imposed by the regulating agencies. Prior to construction, the contractor shall be required to prepare an Accidental Spill Prevention and Cleanup Plan. This plan shall include required spill control absorbent material, for use beneath stationary equipment, to be present on-site and available at all times. All refueling and maintenance of equipment, other than stationary equipment, shall occur at least 100 feet from the creek's top -of --bank. Refueling or maintenance of stationary equipment within the channel (top of bank to top of bank) shall only occur when secondary containment sufficient to eliminate escape of all potential fluids is in place. Any hazardous chemical spills shall be cleaned immediately. All stockpiling of construction materials, equipment, and supplies, including storage of chemicals, refueling and maintenance, with the exception of stationary equipment, shall occur outside the creek channel. No equipment shall be washed where runoff could enter the creek. No motorized equipment shall be left within the channel (top of bank to top of bank) overnight. Work shall be conducted in isolation from flowing water. Prior to the start of construction activities, the work area shall be isolated using temporary water diversion materials such as sand bags or other similar methods, and flowing water shall be temporarily diverted around the isolated area. A 3 to 5400t buffer zone will be created, offset from the sandbags, to further reduce the chances of sediment depositing into the river during construction. If de -watering is necessary, pumps with 0.24 nch mesh shall be used to remove standing water from the work area within the cofferdams to a filtration basin to prevent du•ect discharge into the creek. If a filtration basin is not available, filter bags will be placed surrounding the hose - release and the hose -release end shall be placed on a level area outside of the wetted creek channel to allow water to settle prior to returning to the creek. No pumped water shall be directly discharged into the creek. Allowing the pumped water to settle in a filtration basin or release through filter bags will prevent increase in turbidity or sediment loads during the de -watering process. If de -watering is necessary, a de -watering plan shall be submitted for agency approval. By implementing these measures, the Project's impacts to special -status fish, including salmonids, shall be reduced to less than significant. Page 11 of 25 January 7, 2019 Mitigation Measure BIO -7: CRLF Although the lack of upland habitat, lack of connectivity to suitable breeding habitat, intense flooding, sedimentation and introduced predators/competitors reduce the potential for CRLF to occur within the Study Area, measures to avoid CRLF impacts shall be implemented. The following measures shall be implemented to avoid CRLF and are in agreement with the measures described in the NLAA that was issued for this project (Corps 2016). An environmental awareness training for all crews working on the site shall include education on sensitive resources such as protected wildlife with the potential to occur within the area (identification, regulatory status, natural history), water quality and environmental protection measures. Within 48 hours prior to any construction activities, a biologist approved by USFWS (Approved Biologist) shall conduct surveys for CRLF in and adjacent to the Action Area, 100 feet upstream and 100 feet downstream of the Study Area. The Approved Biologist shall have stop work authority to protect natural resources or ensure personal safety or the safety of workers. If CRLF are detected during surveys, work shall cease until consultation with the appropriate agencies can be completed. If no CRLF are found during the preconstruction surveys, the Study Area shall be surveyed each day prior to commencement of work by the Approved Biologist or a qualified biologist under the direction of the Approved Biologist to ensure that no CRLF are present in the Study Area until vegetation removal and exclusion fence installation are complete. After vegetation clearance and exclusion fence installation, activities may continue inside fenced areas without the presence of a biologist unless work is halted for more than 10 days, then a pre -construction survey for CRLF shall be conducted prior to re-initiation of work. All workers shall ensure that food scraps, paper wrappers, food containers, cans, bottles, and other trash from the work area are deposited in covered or closed trash containers. Trash in the containers shall be removed and disposed of off-site daily. Prior to the commencement of operation of wheeled or equipment with tracks in undisturbed areas, vegetation that could conceal CRLF shall be removed by hand under the supervision of a qualified biologist after the Approved Biologist has surveyed the area and determined it to be free of CRLF. If vegetation is too dense to be adequately surveyed (tall grasses, blackberry etc.), the Approved Biologist, at his or her discretion, may request that vegetation is cut to a height of 6-12 inches (and cut vegetation removed) prior to conducting a survey. If no CRLF are found, the vegetation shall be cut to ground level, and this shall ensure that no CRLF are harmed by cutting tools. Exclusion fence shall be installed around staging areas and Study Areas aft er vegetation removal is complete. A qualified biologist under direction of the Approved Biologist will oversee the installation of the fence. Once the fence is installed, the periodic inspections by the qualified biologist and construction contractor shall ensure that the fence is maintained effectively for the duration of the project. If exit/entries to the enclosed areas are required, they shall be closed at the end of work each day to ensure exclusion of CRLF overnight. Page 12 of 25 January 7, 2019 Erosion control structures shall not include plastic or be of types that may entrap wildlife and shall be constructed of tightly woven natural fibers. All construction activities shall cease one half hour before sunset and shall not begin prior to one half hour before sunrise. Additionally, construction activities shall not occur during rain events or within 24 hours of events projected to deliver >0.2 inches of rain or within 24 hours after rain events exceeding 0.2 inches in measureable precipitation, as CRLF are most likely to disperse during periods of precipitation. No work shall occur after 0.5 inches of rain has occurred after November 1 in the year work is occurring. Any open holes or trenches shall be covered or have escape ramps no steeper than 45 degrees installed Lt the end of each working day to prevent CRLF from becoming entrapped. With the implementation of these measures and those described for special -status fish (BIO -7), any impacts to CRLF shall be avoided. Mitigation Measure BIO -S: Pacific pond turtle Prior to the initiation of Project work in the reservoir or banks of the reservoir, a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey for pond turtles. If a pond turtle is found during surveys, the qualified biologist will relocate it outside of the Study Area, out of harm's way or it shall be allowed to move out of the area under its own power. With the implementation of these measures and those previously described for CRLF (BIO -7) and aquatic habitats (BIO -1 and BIO -2) (exclusion fence, work windows etc.), the impacts to Pacific pond turtle will be less than significant.

Page 13 of 25 January 7, 2019 Potentially Less Than Less Than No Impact Significant Significant Significant Impact with Impact Mitigation iv) Landslides? ® El b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? c) 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? d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-13 of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property? e) 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? Page 14 of 25 January 7, 2019 Discussion: The primary intent of the City's proposed project is to increase no capacity along the Petaluma River along the Corona Road Bridge, as well as, reduce the depth and frequency of localized flooding, by detaining peak flows in Detention Basins along the reach. This project will require site grading and excavation, which will disrupt the soils on site and will cause a substantive change in topography. The engineer's estimate for earthwork calculations includes approximately 22,000 cubic yards of cut. It is intended that the cut materials will be off -hauled to an appropriate site not subject to flood inundation. Implicit in the project's design are features to prevent negative impacts to the area such as the creation of unstable conditions, erosion of banks and soils, siltation, or modifications to the existing low -flow channel. The project will be designed such that all slopes shall be within the acceptable range of being within a stable condition. In the case that a stable condition cannot be created, proper mitigation efforts, such as installation of rip -rap will be performed to properly secure the site. The alluvial soils that occur within the project area along the Denman Reach consist of deep deposits of fine silts and clays, belonging to the Clear Lake Clay soil series. These soils are highly expansive, although not highly erosive. Soils conditions associated with the vegetation management component of the project will not be affected by trimming and pruning of vegetation in the Petaluma River. Minor soil disturbance may occur as part of exotic vegetation removal, but would be completed under conditions of the Streambed Alteration Agreement with erosion control measures and scheduling during low flow conditions, when significant rainfall is highly unlikely. General grading completed along the floodplain terrace, and not within the channel, will be completed in compliance with conditions of the State Water Resources Control Board General Permit. The proposed Denman Reach Phase 4 project does not include construction of housing, commercial buildings, or related structures that would expose people to risk from seismic rupture, shaking, or secondary effects. The geotechnical report prepared for the City's Denman Phases 1 and 2 projects did not indicate any special geologic hazards associated with this area; no additional analysis has been undertaken. No structures are proposed as part of the project. Page 15 of 25 January 7, 2019 1XEO-1: All provisions of the City of Petaluma Grading Ordinance, the project plans, and the project geotechnical report prepared for Phases 1 and 2 will be followed. Finished grades will not be steeper than 2H:1 V. GEO-2: Earthwork, including grading and fill placement will only occur between the period of June 1 and October 15. All disturbed areas will be stabilized upon final grading and protected using a combination of permanent vegetative treatment, mulching, geotextiles, as shown in the project Erosion Control Plan (ECP) to be included in the grading plans. In addition, the selected construction Contractor will be required to develop a SWPPP (subject to City approval) and implement the Plan. The City's Project Manager will monitor (and document) to ensure that the ECP and SWPPP and other provisions of the approved improvement plans are being followed. GEO-3: Site grubbing and earthmoving activities will be completed prior to October 15 of the construction year. Work beyond October 15 (with the exception of revegetation until November 15) shall be specifically authorized in advance by the appropriate regulatory agencies. All erosion control shall meet specifications of the City of Petaluma Erosion Control Ordinance. Erosion control and sediment detention devices shall be incorporated into the project design and implemented at the time of construction. These devices shall be in place prior to October 15 and the onset of rains for the purposes of minimizing fine sediment and sediment/water slurry input to flowing water, and of detaining water to retain sediment on-site. These devices will be placed at all locations where the likelihood of sediment input exists. Sediment collected in these devices shall be disposed of away from the collection site and outside riparian areas and flood hazard areas. GEO-4: Any soil or rock fill to be installed within Water Boatd jurisdiction will include an evaluation of biotechnical methods and habitat enhancement features to be incorporated in order to avoid and minimize impacts of hardened structures. All rock must be demonstrated to be necessary and appropriately sized through a hydraulic analysis performed by qualified professional. If biotechnical methods and habitat enhancement features are demonstrated to be infeasible, mitigation will be required at a 1.5:1 ratio at a minimum. VII. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS: would the project: a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? Caltrans has used the best available information based to the extent possible on scientific and factual information, to detedescribe, calculate, or estimate the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that may occur related to this project. The analysis included in the climate change section of this document provides the public and decision -makers as much information about the project as possible. It is Caltrans' rmination that in the absence of statewide -adopted thresholds or GHG emissions limits, it is too speculative to make a significance determination regarding an individual project's direct and indirect impacts with respect to global climate change. Caltrans remains committed to implementing measures to reduce the potential effects of the project. These measures are outlined in the climate change section of the document. Discussion: No impact, no project specific mitigation necessary. VIII. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: Potentially Less Than Would the project: Significant Significant Impact with Mitigation Page 16 of 25 January 7, 2019 Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment ❑ ❑ through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? b) 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? c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? e) For a project located vrithin an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? f) For a project v�ithin the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere vrith an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? Discussion: No impact, no project specific mitigation necessary. IX. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY: Would Potentially Less Than t_ess Than No the project: Significant Significant Significant Impact Impact with Impact Mitigation a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interf ere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site? d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site? Page 17 of 25 January 7, 2019 e) 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? f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? g) Place housing within a 100 -year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? h) Place within a 100 -year flood hazard area structures which would impede or redirect flood flows? i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow Page 18 of 25 January 7, 2019 ❑ ® ❑ ❑ ❑ ® ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ Discussion: The installation of detention basins at DenmanReach and the removal of sediment around the Corona Bridge to return the Petaluma River to its original section will alter the existing hydrology and drainage patterns of the Denman Reach Phase 4 project site. However, the project's intent is to improve surface water capacity and conveyance and reduce localized flooding within the project area and its immediate surroundings while not creating any increased impact to downstream storm flow conditions. According to the analysis performed by WEST Consultants, Inc., using 25- and 100 -year rainfall events, model runs revealed that the detention basins, alone, provided some water surface elevation reduction through the Denman Reach area with lesser reductions downstream, and the Corona Road sediment removal, itself, provided a larger water surface reduction in the area of Corona Road, but suffered from slightly increased levels downstream. Combined, however, the negative expected impacts downstream are eliminated for the 100 -year event with a net result of decreased peak flow and water surface elevations. For the 25 -year event, there is still a slight increase in water surface elevation downstream of the Corona bridge, gradually increasing to a maximum increase of 0.1 feet near the constriction weir, and then decreasing again from that point down to zero increase near Adobe Creek. The reason for the increase during the 25 -year event is due to the lower utilization of the detention basins for the smaller event, however changes to the weir elevations were not recommended due to the benefits achieved of the 100 -year event. The installation of detention basins and removal of excess sediment and vegetation will enhance conveyance of floodwaters and reduce the frequency and depth of periodic out -of --bank flooding during lower intensity storm events. Understory vegetation and exotic invasive species will be selectively removed, while canopy will remain and continue to provide cover and cool water temperatures. The removal of the understory vegetation and grading efforts to be done within the river channel around Corona Bridge could cause a temporary increase in runoff potential during construction, and an increase in flow levels downstream during a 25 -year storm event. During construction, there will be an increase in runoff potential along the river banks due to the removal of the understory vegetation, however, this will only be temporary until the new vegetation gets established, which the City will install as part of the project. During a 100 -year event the model shows the project will result in a reduction in water surface elevation upstream and downstream of the bridge. For the 25 -year event the model shows a slight increase in water surface elevation downstream of Corona Road at the Corona Creek confluence gradually increasing to a maximum increase of 0.09 feet near the constriction weir, and then decreasing again from that point down zero increase near Adobe Creek. There are no structures in the 100 -year flood plain near the constriction weir and, thus, no structures would be affected by this 0.09 feet rise in a 25 -year event in this area. Other features that will either not impact drainage patt erns or will have minimal effect are features such as the detention basins spillways, due to the location at being near the top of the bank, along with the loop trail around the basins. The riprap to be installed along the abutments of the Corona Road Bridge will have minimal impact to the drainage patterns and should not increase runoff, especially considering the bridge will provide cover to prevent runoff from occurring. The goal of this project is to decrease the water surface elevation and fl ood plain area for the 100 - year event by detaining water peak flows within the detention basins, reducing flow constraints, and scour of abutments at the Corona Road bridge. Page 19 of 25 January 7, 2019 HYD -1: A detailed Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) shall be prepared and implemented by the Contractor, subject to review and approval of the City of Petaluma, as a line item in the construction agreement. Construction plans should specify all erosion and sediment control measures that will be used, including (where applicable): • Limiting access route to the creek channel and stabilizing access points; • Stabilizing graded areas as soon as possible with seeding, mulching, erosion control materials or other effective methods; • Delineating clearing limits, easements, setbacks, sensitive areas, vegetation and drainage courses by marking them in the field; • Stabilizing and preventing erosion from temporary conveyance channels and outlets; • If rainfall occurs, using sediment controls and filtration to remove sediment from water collected on-site during construction. HYD -2: Implement established Best Management Practices (BMPs) to control short-term construction water quality impacts. Construction BMPs will reduce erosion of disturbed soils during construction activities and are used to minimize wind and water erosion and transport of sediments during construction. BMPs shall include as a minimum the following measures: • Temporary measures, such as flow diversion, temporary ditches, and silt fencing. • Surface disturbance of soil and vegetation would be kept to a minimum. • Any stockpiled soil, awaiting removal from the site, would be placed and sloped so that it would not be subject to accelerated erosion. HYD -3: Conformance with the State Water Resources Control Board Construction General Permit, including implementation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and the Sonoma County Water Agency (SC4VA) Stream Maintenance Program Guidelines, which include Best Management Practices. The BMPs cover selective vegetation management, including use of herbicides and other chemicals. HYD -4: Incorporate potentially hazardous materials storage and handling plan into the overall Streambed Alteration Agreement. Provisions will include, but not be limited to the following: • Refueling outside the ri parian corridor with measures for containing accidental fuel spills. • All construction equipment and machinery shall be checked for leaks prior to entry into the stream channel • Any construction equipment shall not be stored or stockpiled in the creek channel. • No herbicide application in or near flowing water, and all herbicides shall be applied under the direction of a licensed Pest Control Applicator, and in accordance with appropriate regulations.

LAND USE AND PLANNING: Would the project: Potentially Less Than Less Than No Significant Significant Significant Impact Impact with Impact Mitigation a) Physically divide an established community? LJ ❑ L b)Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan? Discussion: The properties within the project area are designated as Business Park and/or Floodway by the General Plan 2025 Land Use Map. Zoning designations include Planned Community District and Floodway on,a portion of each parcel with an overlay of Floodplain Combining District. The City of Petaluma has previously implemented three phases of restoration projects in the vicinity of the project site pursuant to the Petaluma River Access and Enhancement Plan (River Plan). Adopted in May 1996, the River Plan addresses the impact of urban growth and development within the watershed upon the hydrology and health of the Petaluma River. The actions outlined in the River Plan intend to increase channel capacity and reduce the amount of impervious surface within the River's floodway and floodplain through acquisition of significant properties and through the creation and/or restoration of riparian buffer zones, flood terraces, and seasonal wetlands. In addition to restoration and management, the River Plan outlines the need for public access to and along the riverfront. XI. MINERAL RESOURCES: Would the project: Potentially Less Than Less Than No Significant Significant Significant Impact Impact with Impact Mitigation a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state? b) Result in the loss of availability of alocally-import ant mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? Discussion: No impact, no project specifi c mitigation necessary. XII. NOISE: Would the project result in: Potentially Less Than Less Than No Significant Significant Significant Impact Impact with Impact Mitigation FA a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels? c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? Page 21 of 25 January 7, 2019 d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the Ll Ll IZN Ll project? e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public LJ LJ LJ L�N airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? Discussion: The grading and construction activities associated with the City's Petaluma River Flood Management Denman Phase 4 Project will represent a short-term increase in noise levels within the immediate project area. Use of chain -saws and brush chippers associated with the project will also increase noise levels during the clearing and grubbing period around the Corona Bridge. The long-term passive recreational nature of the proposed project will have no significant effect on area noise levels. The following mitigation measures will be implemented to minimize short-term noise related impacts to less than significant. NOISE -1: Temporary noise impacts will be limited by restricting construction activities to daylight hours: weekdays from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, and Saturdays 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, with no work on Sundays. This shall exceed standards of the City of Petaluma Noise Ordinance which specifically prohibits construction activity between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Monday through Friday, and between 10:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and State, Federal, or local holidays, NOISE -2: Require hearing protection for workers operating, and in close proximity to, heavy machinery, including chaiMUM, brush mowers, and weed trimmers in accordance with CFR 295 Part 1910.95 and OSHA standards.

LN Discussion: The City's water system aheady serves the project area. Water demand will be limited to the establishment and maintenance of new plant materials. There will be no turf, and plantings will be drought tolerant natives, or selected based on their proximity to the creek -side planting zone and its natural moisture regime. The project's primary goal is providing for improved storm water drainage both regarding quantity of runoff capacity and water quality. XIX. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF Potentially Less Than Less Than No SIGNIFICANCE Significant Significant Significant Impact Impact with Impact Mitigation 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 self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, substantially 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? b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable?

(WRA) pertormed a biological resources assessment at the proposed Denman Reach Phase IV Flood Control Project, situated on Denman Reach of the Petaluma River in northern Petaluma, Sonoma County, California (Study Area). The Study Area is located 2.25 miles northwest of downtown Petaluma (Figure 1). The Study Area is composed of two publicly -owned properties totaling approximately 5.9 acres. The purpose of this assessment is to gather information necessary to complete a review of biological resources under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This report describes the results of the site visit, which assessed the Study Area and immediately adjacent areas for: (1) the potential to support special -status plant and wildlife species; (2) the potential presence of sensitive biological communities such as wetlands or riparian habitats; and (3) the potential presence of other sensitive biological resources protected by local, state, and federal laws and regulations. A BRA provides general information on the potential presence of sensitive species and habitats. The BRA is not an official protocol -level survey for listed species that may be required for project approval by local, state, or federal agencies. Our determinations regarding the potential of the Study Area to support special -status plant and wildlife species were based primarily on the suitability of habitats within the Study Area, the proximity of known occurrences, and an on-site inspection and survey results. This assessment is based on information available at the time of the study and on site conditions that were observed on November 15, 2017 and December 29, 2017. A delineation of Waters of the U.S. ("waters") subject to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) jurisdiction under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and Regional Water Control Board jurisdiction under Section 401 of the CWA, as well as stream and riparian areas subject to California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) jurisdiction under Section 1602 of California Fish and Game Code (CFGC), was conducted concurrently with this assessment, and the results of that assessment are provided in a separate report. 2.0 REGULATORY BACKGROUND The following sections explain the regulatory context of this Biological Resources Assessment, including applicable laws and regulations that informed field investigations. 2.1 Sensitive Biological Communities Sensitive biological communities include habitats that fulfill special functions or have special values, such as wetlands, streams, or riparian habitat. These habitats are protected under federal regulations such as the CWA; state regulations such as the Porter -Cologne Act, Section 1600- 1616 of the California Fish and Game Code (CFGC), CEQA; or local ordinances or policies such as city or county tree ordinances, Special Habitat Management Areas, and General Plan Elements. 2.1.1 Waters of the United States The Corps regulates "Waters of the United States" under Section 404 of the CWA. Waters of the U.S. are defined in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) as waters susceptible to use in Penngrove Study 'ro �e r pop 4C it h (y nt47 �•^ I.r Run bb pip h- 4 :ye �bp1 JIM - Q. v """"' Saint Hefena - .

Potential wetland areas, according to the three criteria used to delineate wetlands as defined in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987), are identified by the presence of (1) hydrophytic vegetation, (2) hydric soils, and (3) wetland hydrology. Areas that are inundated at a sufficient depth and for a sufficient duration to exclude growth of hydrophytic vegetation are subject to Section 404 jurisdiction as "other waters" and are often characterized by an ordinary high water mark (OHWM), and herein referred to as non -wetland waters. Non -wetland waters, for example, generally include lakes, rivers, and streams. The placement of fill material into Waters of the U.S. generally requires an individual or nationwide permit from the Corps under Section 404 of the CWA. 2.1.2 Waters of the State The term "Waters of the State" is defined by the Porter -Cologne Act as "any surface water or groundwater, including saline waters, within the boundaries of the state." The Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) protects all waters in its regulatory scope and has special responsibility for wetlands, riparian areas, and headwaters. These aquatic resources have high resource value, are vulnerable to filling, and may not be systematically protected by other programs. RWQCB jurisdiction includes wetlands and waters that may not be regulated by the Corps under Section 404, such as isolated wetlands. Waters of the State are regulated by the RWQCB under the State Water Quality Certification Program which regulates discharges of fill and dredged material under Section 401 of the CWA and the Porter -Cologne Water Quality Control Act. Projects that require a Corps permit or fall under other federal jurisdiction and have the potential to impact Waters of the State are required to comply with the terms of the Water Quality Certification determination. If a proposed project does not require a federal permit but does involve dredge or fill activities that may result in a discharge to Waters of the State, the RWQCB has the option to regulate the dredge and fill activities under its state authority in the form of Waste Discharge Requirements. 2.1.3 Streams, Lakes, and Ripari an Habitat Streams and lakes, as habitat for fish and wildlife species, are subject to jurisdiction by CDFW under Sections 1600-1616 of California Fish and Game Code. Alterations to or work within or adjacent to streambeds or lakes generally require a 1602 Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement. The term "stream", which includes creeks and rivers, is defined in the California Code of Regulations (CCR) as "a body of water that flows at least periodically or intermittently through a bed or channel having banks and supports fish or other aquatic life [including] watercourses having a surface or subsurface flow that supports or has supported riparian vegetation" (14 CCR 1.72). In addition, the term "stream" can include ephemeral streams, dry washes, watercourses with subsurface flows, canals, aqueducts, irrigation ditches, and other means of water conveyance if they support aquatic life, riparian vegetation, or stream -dependent terrestrial wildlife (CDFG 1994). "Riparian" is defined as "on, or pertaining to, the banks of a stream." Riparian vegetation is defined as "vegetation which occurs in and/or adjacent to a stream and is dependent on, and occurs because of, the stream itself' (CDFG 1994). Removal of riparian vegetation also requires a Section 1602 Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement from CDFW. D 2.1.4 Essential Fish Habitat Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) is regulated through the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Protection of EFH is mandated through changes implemented in 1996 to the Magnuson -Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson -Stevens Act) to protect the loss of habitat necessary to maintain sustainable fisheries in the United States, The Magnuson -Stevens Act defines EFH as "those waters and substrate necessary to fish for spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity" [16 USC 1802(10)]. NMFS further defines essential fish habitat as areas that "contain habitat essential to the long-term survival and health of our nation's fisheries" (NMFS 2007). EFH can include the water column, certain bottom types such as sandy or rocky bottoms, vegetation such as eelgrass or kelp, or structurally complex coral or oyster reefs. Under regulatory guidelines issued by NMFS, any federal agency that authorizes, funds, or undertakes action that may affect EFH is required to consult with NMFS (50 CFR 600.920). 2.1.5 Other Sensitive Biological Communities Other sensitive biological communities not discussed above include habitats that fulfill special functions or have special values. Natural communities considered sensitive are those identified by the CDFW in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations. The CDFW ranks sensitive communities as "threatened" or "very threatened" and keeps records of their occurrences in its California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB; CDFW 2017). Sensitive plant communities are aIso identified by CDFW (2017) and CNPS (2017a). Vegetation alliances are ranked 1 through 5 by CNDDB based on NatureServe's (2017) methodology, with those alliances ranked globally (G) or statewide (S) as 1 through 3 considered sensitive. Impacts to sensitive natural communities identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or those identified by the CDFW or United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) must be considered and evaluated under CEQA (CCR Title 14, Div. 6, Chap. 3, Appendix G). Specific habitats may also be identified as sensitive in city or county general plans or ordinances. 2.1 .6 Relevant Local Policies, Ordinances, and Regulations City of Petaluma Tree Ordinance The City of Petaluma recognizes the aesthetic, environmental, and economic benefits mature trees provide to the citizens of the City. Chapter 17, "Tree Preservation" of the Petaluma City Code (Tree Ordinance) regulates the protection of certain trees on public and private properties within the City limits. The Tree Ordinance defines a "protected tree" as: California native oaks (Quercus spp.) 4 inches diameter or greater measured at 4.5 above grade ("diameter at breast height" or DBH), California buckeye (Aesculus californica) 6 inches DBH or greater, California bay (Umbellularia californica) 12 inches DBH or greater, coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) 18 inches DBH or greater, heritage trees as approved by Council resolution per Title 8 of the Petaluma Municipal Code, significant groves or stands of trees, trees located in riparian corridors, any tree required to be planted or preserved as mitigation or condition of approval for a discretionary development project, or trees in the public right-of-way. A permit is generally required for the removal of any protected tree. Conditions of approval may include tree. replacement plantings or the payment of in -lieu fees. 5 2.2 Special -Status Species Plant and Wildlife Species Special -status species include those plants and wildlife species that have been formally listed, are proposed as endangered or threatened, or are candidates for such listing under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) or California Endangered Species Act (CESA). These acts afford protection to both listed species and species proposed for listing. In addition, CDFW Species of Special Concern, which are species that face extirpation in California if current population and habitat trends continue, USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern, and CDFW special -status invertebrates are all considered special -status species. Although CDFW Species of Special Concern generally have no special legal status, they are given special consideration under the CEQA. In addition to regulations for special -status species, most birds in the United States, including non -status species, are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918. Under this legislation, destroying active nests, eggs, and young is illegal. Plant species included within the California Native Plant Society (GNPs) Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants (Inventory) with California Rare Plant Rank (Rank) of 1 and 2 are also considered special -status plant species and must be considered under CEQA. Very few Rank 3 or Rank 4 plant species meet the definitions of Section 1901 Chapter 10 of the Native Plant Protection Act or Sections 2062 and 2067 of the CDFW Code that outlines CESA. However, CNPS and CDFW strongly recommend that these species be fully considered during the preparation of environmental documentation relating to CEQA. This may be particularly appropriate for the type locality of a Rank 4 plant, for populations at the periphery of a species range or in areas where the taxon is especially uncommon or has sustained heavy losses, or from populations exhibiting unusual morphology or occurring on unusual substrates. A description of the CNPS Ranks is provided below in Table 1. Tahla 1 r)Pscrintin n of CNPS Ranks and Threat Codes California Rare Plant Ranks (formerly known as CNPS Lists) Rank 1A Presumed extirpated in California and either rare or extinct elsewhere Rank 1 B Rare, threatened, or endangered in California and elsewhere Rank 2A Presumed extirpated in California, but more common elsewhere Rank 2B Rare, threatened, or endangered in California, but more common elsewhere Rank 3 Plants about which more information is needed - A review list Rank 4 Plants of limited distribution - A watch list Threat Ranks 0.1 Seriously threatened in California 0.2 Moderately threatened in California 0.3 Not very threatened in California Critical Habitat Critical habitat is a term defined in the ESA as a specc geographic area that contains features essential for the conservation of a threatened or endangered species and that may require special management and protection. The ESA requires federal agencies to consult with the USFWS to conserve listed species on their lands and to ensure that any activities or projects they fund, authorize, or carry out will not jeopardize the survival of a threatened or endangered species. In consultation for those species with critical habitat, federal agencies must also ensure that their activities or projects do not adversely modify critical habitat to the point that it will no longer aid in the species' recovery. In many cases, this level of protection is similar to that already provided to species by the ESA jeopardy standard. However, areas that are currently unoccupied by the species but which are needed for the species' recovery are protected by the prohibition against adverse modification of critical habitat. affective On November 15, 2017 and December 29, 2017 the Study Area was traversed on foot to determine (1) plant communities present within the Study Area, (2) if existing conditions provided suitable habitat for any special -status plant or wildlife species, and (3) if sensitive habitats are present. Additionally, a routine jurisdictional wetland delineation and delineation of streams and riparian areas was conducted concurrently with this site assessment. All plant and wildlife species encountered were recorded and are listed in Appendix A. Plants were identified using The Jepson Manual: Vascular Plants of California 2nd Edition (Baldwin et al. 2012), to the taxonomic level necessary to determine rarity. Plant nomenclature follows Baldwin et al. (2012) and subsequent revisions by the Jepson Flora Project (2017), except where noted. Because of recent changes in classification for many of the taxa treated by Baldwin et al. and the Jepson Flora Project, relevant synonyms are provided in brackets. For cases in which regulatory agencies, CNPS, or other entities base rarity on older taxonomic treatments, precedence was given to the treatment used by those entities. Special -status species with a potential for occurrence, determined based on field visits and habitat availability, are described in Appendix B. Representative photographs of the Study Area taken during field visits are included in Appendix C. 3.1 Biological Communities Prior to the site visit, the Soil Survey of Sonoma County, California (USDA1972, CSRL 2017) was examined to determine if any unique soil types that could support sensitive plant communities and/or aquatic features were present in the Study Area. In addition, we reviewed the Cotati United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 -minute quadrangle topographic map (USGS 1980), the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) (USFWS 2017x), and aerial photographs of the Study Area (Google Earth 2017) to identify potential sensitive habitats and areas for further investigation during the site visit. Following the site visit, biological communities present in the Study Area were classified based on existing plant community descriptions described in A Manual of California Vegetation, Online Edition (CNPS 2017a). However, in some cases it was necessary to identify variants of community types or to describe non -vegetated areas that are not described in the literature. Biological communities were classified as sensitive or non -sensitive as defined by CEQA and other applicable laws and regulations (see Section 2.1, above). 7 3.1.1 Non -sensitive Biological Communities Non -sensitive biological communities are those communities that are not afforded special protection under CEQA, and other state, federal, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances. These communities may, however, provide suitable habitat for some special -status plant or wildlife species and are identified or described in Section 4.4.1 below. 3. 1.2 Sensitive Biological Communities Sensitive biological communities are defined as those communities that are given special protection under CEQA and other applicable federal, state, and local .laws, regulations and ordinances. Applicable laws and ordinances are discussed above in Section 2.0. Special methods used to identify sensitive biological communities are discussed below. Sensitive biological communities are identified and described in Section 4.4.1 below. Wetlands and Non -Wetland Waters The Study Area was surveyed to determine if any wetlands and waters potentially subject to jurisdiction by the Corps, RWQCB, or CDFW were present. A routine delineation of Waters of the U.S. subject to EPA/Corps jurisdiction under Section 404 of the CWA, RWQCB Jurisdiction under Section 401 of the CWA and the Porter -Cologne Water Quality Control Act, and CDFW under Section 1602 of the CFGC, was conducted by WRA (2017) and is provided under separate cover. Other Sensitive Biological Communities The Study Area was evaluated for the presence of other sensitive biological communities, including riparian areas or other sensitive plant communities recognized by CDFW. Prior to the site visit, aerial photographs, local soil maps, and A Manual of California Vegetation, Online Edition (CNPS 2017a) were reviewed to assess the potential for sensitive biological communities to occur in the Study Area. All alliances within the Study Area with a ranking of 1 through 3 were considered sensitive biological communities and mapped. These communities are described in Section 4.1 .2 below. 3.2 Special -Status Species 3.2.1 Literature Review The potential for special -status species to occur in the Study Area was evaluated by first identifying which special -status species have been documented in the vicinity of the Study Area through a literature and database search. Database searches for known occurrences of listed species focused on the Cotati 7.5 -minute USGS quadrangle, and eight surrounding quadrangles including: Sebastopol, Santa Rosa, Kenwood, Glen Ellen, Petaluma River, Petaluma, Point Reyes NE, and Two Rock. In addition to the literature cited in Section 3.1, WRA also reviewed the following sources to identify which listed plant and wildlife species have been documented to occur in the greater vicinity of the Study Area: • California Natural Diversity Database records (CNDDB) (CDFW 2017) • USFWS Information for Conservation and Planning Database (USFWS 2017b) • CNPS Electronic Inventory records (CNPS 2017b) • Consortium of California Herbaria (CCH 2017) • A Flora of Sonoma County (Best et al. 1996) E:1 • CDFG publication "California's Wildlife, Volumes I -III" (Zeiner et al. 1990) • CDFG publication "Amphibians and Reptile Species of Special Concern in California" (Thompson et al. 2016) • California Bird Species of Special Concern (Shuford et. al. 2008) • A Field Guide to Western Reptiles and Amphibians (Stebbins 2003) • The Sonoma County Breeding Bird Atlas (Burridge 1995) • Western Bat Working Group Species Accounts (WBWG 2017) 3.2.2 Site Assessment A site visit was conducted of the Study Area to search for suitable habitats for listed species. Habitat conditions observed at the Study Area were used to evaluate the potential for presence of listed species based on these searches and the professional expertise of the investigating biologists. The potential for each listed species to occur in the Study Area was then evaluated according to the following criteria: • No Potential: Habitat on and adjacent to the site is clearly unsuitable for the species requirements (foraging, breeding, cover, substrate, elevation, hydrology, plant community, site history, disturbance regime). • Unlikely: Few of the habitat components meeting the species requirements are present, and/or the majority of habitat on and adjacent to the site is unsuitable or of very poor quality. The species is not likely to be found on the site. • Moderate Potential: Some of the habitat components meeting the species requirements are present, and/or only some of the habitat on or adjacent to the site is unsuitable. The species has a moderate probability of being found on the site. • High Potential: All of the habitat components meeting the species requirements U1 e present and/or most of the habitat on or adjacent to the site is highly suitable. The species has a high probability of being found on the site. • Present: Species is observed on the site or has been recorded (i.e., CNDDB, other reports) on the site recently. The site assessment is intended to identify the presence or absence of suitable habitat for each special -status species known to occur in the vicinity to determine its potential to occur in the Study Area. The site visit does not constitute a protocol -level survey and is not intended to determine the actual presence or absence of a species. All species observed in the Study Area were recorded and are listed in Appendix A-1 and A-2. In cases where little information is known about species occurrences and habitat requirements, the species evaluation was based on best professional judgment of WRA biologists with experience working with these species and habitats. Special -status species, if observed during the site visit, were recorded and are discussed below in Section 4.3 and in Appendix B. For some species, a site assessment visit at the level conducted for this report may not be sufficient to determine presence or absence of a species to the specifications of regulatory agencies. In these cases, a species may be assumed to be present or further protocol -level special -status species surveys may be necessary. Special -status species for which further protocol -level surveys may be necessary are described in 5.0. 4.0 RESULTS A general description of the Study Area and the results of the site assessment are provided in the following sections. A list of plant and wildlife species observed is included as Appendix A-1 and A-2. The assessment of the potential for special -status plant and wildlife species to occur in the Study Area is provided as Appendix B. Photographs of the Study Area are provided as Appendix C. 4.1 Study Area Description The Study Area consists of two publicly -owned properties along the Petaluma River which flows from northwest to southeast and is located approximately 2.25 miles northwest of downtown Petaluma. The 5.11 -acre western property of the Phase IV Study Area (west Study Area) is directly adjacent to the Denman Reach Phase III Flood Control Project, which initiated construction in 2016. The 2.80 -acre eastern property (east Study Area) is located at the Corona Road Bridge. Collectively, both locations are referred to as the Study Area. The Denman Reach Phase III Project proposed to reduce frequent flooding of the Industrial Avenue Business Park area by creating a floodplain terrace with riparian habitat restoration and public access improvements along the upper Petaluma River. Phase III of the Project extended the flood terrace upstream of earlier phases (Denman Reach Phases I and II), which were located upstream of the Corona Road Bridge, and constructed in 2005. This Phase IV Study Area is generally surrounded by rural residential or light commercial development with interspersed non-native annual grassland and some tilled lands. The main creek corridor of the Study Area remains in a natural state and is dominated by mature native riparian forest. The edges of the riparian habitat are dominated by thickets of Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor). Non-native annual grassland habitat and ruderal fields occupy the majority of the remainder of the Study Area. Small pockets of seasonal wetlands and swales were observed in portions of the ruderal areas. Land use to the north and east of the Study Area is composed of light industry and vacant lots. Along the southwest side of the Study Area land use is a mix of light industry, agricultural, and residential development. Land use to the south and west of the Study Area include light industrial and rural residential development. Elevations of the Study Area range from approximately 20 to 40 feet NGVD. 4.2 Biological Communities Table 1 summarizes the area of each biological community type and aquatic features observed in the Study Area. There are a total of three non -sensitive biological communities which include developed, non-native grassland, and stormwater retention basin. There are three sensitive biological communities including perennial stream (Petaluma River), seasonal wetland depression, and riparian red willow thicket. Descriptions for each biological community and aquatic features are contained in the following sections and illustrated in Figures 2a and 2b. 10 , k as ci / %\ , 0 to \.\ / \ } k � 0 ' \ \ / )} } \ / I ±— § k | § _ _ 5 { k f § $ 0 �\ o o @ § s e 0 U) a! - e z 0 2 0 u 0 Cl � N V t+J N N o � � � C O L C N � O.

The developed area occurs near the middle of the eastern Study Area and is largely devoid of vegetation. A narrow portion of the adjacent light industrial property to the south, outside of the riparian red willow thicket is aIso included in the developed area. This area contained planted coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) trees along the fenceline, which may be protected per the Petaluma Tree Ordinance. Non-native grassland Approximately 5.42 acres ofnon-native grassland was mapped within the Study Area. Non-native grassland is dominated by one or more non-native grasses with a characteristic presence of non- native forbs. These grasslands are dominated by non-native annual species whose populations can shift annually. Non-native grasslands within the Study Area contain elements of several non- native grassland alliances described by CNPS (2017a), including: Harding grass swards (Phalaris aquatica Herbaceous Semi -Natural Alliance), and Perennial rye grass fields (Festuca perennis [Lolium perenne] Herbaceous Semi -Natural Alliance). Within the Study Area, non-native grassland is mostly dominated by two non-native grass species including Harding grass and Italian rye grass, with other associated non-native grass species present at lower densities including soft chess (Bromus hordeaceus)3 ripgut brome (B. diandrus), mouse barley (Hordeum murinum), and Mediterranean barley (M. marinum ssp. gussoneanum). Native grass and forb species were sparsely observed in the non-native grasslands, likely a result of repeated disturbance including mowing or discing. Native grass and forb species observed in this community included beardless wildrye (Elymus triticoides), and alkali mallow (Malvella leprosa). Occasional planted native and non-native trees including valley oak (Quercus lobata), and Lombardy poplar (Populus nigra), and non-native invasive shrubs including Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) are also included in this community. Individual native oak trees within this community may be considered "protected trees" per the Petaluma Tree Ordinance. iK3 Stormwater retention basin An approximately 0.13 -acre stormwater retention basin is located along the eastern edge of the west Study Area. Based on a review of available aerial imagery, it appears that the stormwater retention basin was created in otherwise dry land when surrounding lands were developed sometime between 1968 and 1993 and is regularly maintained through vegetation clearing (NETR 2017). The basin is an excavated feature with rip -rap reinforced slopes. Vegetation surrounding the stormwater retention basin is dominated by arroyo willow (Salix lasiolepis), Himalayan blackberry, and poison hemlock (Conium maculatum). The basin contained standing water with emergent vegetation, including curly dock (Rumex crispus) and flat nutsedge (Cyperus eragrostis). Stormwater management features that were created in dry land are typically considered to be exempt from regulation under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act based on the definition of "waters of the U.S." in 33 CFR 328.3, which states: "Waste treatment systems, including treatment ponds or lagoons designed to meet the requirements of CWA...are not water of the U.S." (33 CFR 328) Stormwater management features are areas constructed to collect water to comply with stormwater management provisions of the CWA, and are within the scope of this exemption. Based on this exclusion, the stormwater retention basin in the Study Area should be considered exempt from the CWA. 4.2.2 Sensitive Biological Communities Perennial stream There is one perennial stream in the Study Area, the Petaluma River. The river occupies approximately 383 linear feet (0.27 acres), and likely flows twelve months out of the year. The perennial stream is shown as a USGS blue -line stream on the Cotati 7.5 minute quadrangle (USGS 1954). Evidence of substantial high flow events was observed as wrack and bent vegetation at or near the top of bank. The river is confined to an approximately 15 to 20 feet deep and 20 to 30 feet wide channel. The bed of the channel contains areas of rock and cobble mixed with sands and silts. The low -flow channel of the stream becomes quite narrow (approximately 2 feet wide during flow at the time of the site visit), flanked on either side by sediment deposition. The most frequent OHWM indicators used to delineate this feature include bed and bank, scouring, wrack, sediment deposition, distinct change in vegetation, and water stains on the banks. Woody species observed on the banks of Petaluma River include box elder (Acer negundo), Oregon ash (Fraxinus latifolia), California bay (Umhellularia californica), arroyo willow, and red willow. Shrubby and herbaceous vegetation located on the banks and dependent upon the perennial hydrology include Himalayan blackberry, stinging nettle (Urtica dioica), flat nutsedge, smartweed (Persicaria sp.), mugwort (Artemisia douglasiana), and poison hemlock. Areas mapped as perennial stream are jurisdictional under Section 404 of the CWA, Section 401 of the CWA, the Porter -Cologne Water Quality Control Act, and Section 1602 of the CFGC. The Petaluma is also designated critical habitat for California central coast chinook and California central coast steelhead. It is designated essential fish habitat (EFH) for coho (Oncorhynchus dsutch) and chinook (Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus) salmon, and special -status wildlife species may be present. `L! Seasonal wetland depression Approximately 0.24 acre of seasonal wetland depressions were mapped within the Study Area. Within the Study Area seasonal wetland depressions are slightly concave areas typically located in low gradient to nearly flat topography. The vegetation is dominated by hydrophytic grasses and forbs, with native species typically not composing dominant species. The most frequently observed species included Italian rye grass, and curly dock (Rumex crispus). Seasonal wetland depressions in the west Study Area are situated in annually disked clay soils with reduced infiltration of collected waters, while the one seasonal wetland depression in the east Study Area is situated in a regularly maintained roadside shoulder that collected runoff from nearby impervious surfaces to the north and west. The hydrology in these features is episaturated with the source from direct precipitation and under- and over -land sheet flow, forming a perched water table within the upper portion of the soil profile. Saturation is likely present during the majority of the wet season in a normal rainfall year, while inundation is typically short-lived and shallow. Boundaries of seasonal wetland depressions were mapped primarily based on subtle to distinct changes in topography, a slight change in vegetation composition, and the occasional presence of surface hydrologic indicators (e.g. standing water). Areas mapped as seasonal wetland contain a prevalence or dominance of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology sufficient to meet the requirements as jurisdictional features under Section 404 of the CWA, Section 401 of the CWA, and the Port -Cologne Water Quality Control Act. Riparian red willow thicket Approximately 1.33 acres of riparian red willow thicket (Salix laevigata) Woodland Alliance was mapped in the Study Area, associated with the Petaluma River. This community was mapped according to membership rules (CNPS 2017a) as having red willow present at greater than 30 percent relative cover with arroyo willow dominant in the sub -canopy. The riparian area is a dense, mixed thicket of red willow, arroyo willow, box elder, and Himalayan blackberry. The lateral extent of jurisdiction from the stream was estimated using outward dripline of vegetation that is clearly dependent on or strongly influenced by water within the Petaluma River (e.g. red willow, box elder). Riparian red willow thicket is considered, CDFW jurisdiction under Section 1602 of the CFGC, and RWQCB Jurisdiction under Section 401 of the CWA, and the Port -Cologne Water Quality Control Act. Individual native trees within this community area aIso considered "protected trees" per the Petaluma Tree Ordinance as they are situated within a riparian area. 4.3 Special -Status Species 4.3.9 Special -Status Plant Species Based on a review of the resources databases listed in Section 3.2.1, 90 special -status plant species have been documented in the vicinity of the Study Area (Appendix B). Figure 3 depicts known CNDDB records of special -status plant species within a 5 -mile radius of the Study Area. Six special -status plant species have a moderate potential to occur within the Study Area, and are discussed in detail below. The remaining species documented to occur in the vicinity of the Study Area are unlikely or have no potential to occur due to one or more of the following factors: • The species has a very limited range of endemism and has never been observed in the vicinity of the Study Area; • Plant species commonly associated with the special -status species, and which indicate the presence of suitable, intact habitat, are absent from the Study Area; 15 �?- Jnvth lrl, 1, alkali milk -vetch 5, golden larkspur 9, Petaluma popcornflower 13, hvo-fork clover - . - . �, 2, congested -headed hayfield [arplant 6, Jepson's leptosiphon 10, Point Reyes checkerhloom � �� ''r;, ' =f t'I 3, fragant fritillary 7, marsh microseris Sl, saline clover 4, Franciscan onion 8, pappose to rplant 12, Sonoma spineflower � .}• _. o ;r Taft I _ �, -'i ib � l.rit'r t.

All special -status species with a moderate or high potential are discussed below: Pappose tarplant (Centromadia parryi ssp. parry►. CNPS Rank 1 B. Moderate Potential. Pappose tarplant is an annual herb in the sunflower family (Asteraceae) that blooms from May to November. It typically occurs in vernally mesic, often alkaline areas in coastal prairie, meadow, seep, coastal salt marsh, and valley and foothill grassland habitat at elevations ranging from 5 to 1380 feet (CDFW 2017, CNPS 2017b). This species a facultative wetland (FACW) plant (Lichvar 2016), and is a vernal pool generalist (GEN) (Keeler -Wolf et al. 1998). Observed associated species include bristly ox -tongue (Helminthotheca echioides), wild radish (Raphanus sativus), foxtail fescue (Festuca myuros), willow leaf dock (Rumex salicifolius), toad rush (Juncus bufonius), Italian rye grass (Festuca perennis), Mediterranean barley, salt grass (Distichlis spicata), alkali heath (Frankenia salina), perennial pepperweed (Lepidium latifolium), yellow star thistle (Centaurea solstitialis), alkali mallow (Malvella leprosa), and alkali weed (Cressa truxillensis) (CDFW 2017). Pappose tarplant is known from 17 USGS 7.5 -minute quadrangles in Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Lake, Napa, San Mateo, Solano, and Sonoma counties (CNPS 2017). Pappose tarplant has a moderate potential to occur in the Study Area due to the presence of wetland habitat, and the presence of associated species. Congested -headed hayfield tarplant (Hemizonia congesta ssp. congesta). CNPS Rank 16.2. Moderate Potential. Hayfield tarplant is an annual herb in the sunflower family (Asteraceae). It is typically found in coastal scrub and in valley and foothill grassland, often if fallowed fields, and it has sometimes been found along roadsides. It occurs at elevations from 65 to 1,837 feet, and it blooms from April to November (CNPS 2017b). Observed associated species include English plantain (Plantago lanceolata), hairy cats ear (Hypochaeris radicata), broadleaf birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), big quaking grass (Briza maxima), and ripgut brome (CDFW 2017). This species is known from 25 USGS 7.5 -minute quadrangles in Mendocino, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo and Sonoma counties (CNPS 2017b). Congested -headed hayfield tarplant has a moderate potential to occur in the Study Area due to the presence of wetland habitat, and the presence of associated species. Harlequin lotus (Hosackia gracilis). CNPS Rank 4. Moderate Potential. Harlequin lotus is a perennial forb in the pea family (Fabaceae) that blooms from March to July. It typically occurs in wetlands or ditches in broadleaf upland forest, coastal scrub, closed -cone coniferous forest, cismontane woodland, coastal prairie, meadow and seep, marsh and swamp, North Coast coniferous forest, and valley and foothill grassland habitat at elevations ranging from 0 to 2,275 feet (CNPS 2017b). This species has a wetland indicator status of facultative wetland (FACW) on the National Wetland Plant List (Lichvar 2016). Observed associated species include tinker's penny (Hypericum anagalloides), blue-eyed grass (Sisyrinchium bellum), golden -eyed grass (S. californicum), bird's -foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), common velvet grass (Holcus lanatus), fd: California oat grass (Danthonia californica), and silver hair grass (mita caryophyllea) (personal observation 2017). Harlequin lotus is known from nine USG% 7.5 -minute quadrangles in Del Norte, Humboldt, matin, Mendocino, Monterey, San Benito, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, San Luis Obispo, San Mateo, and Sonoma counties (CNPS 2017b). Harlequin lotus has a moderate potential to occur in the seasonal wetland portions of the Study Area due to the presence of associated species, and vernally mesic hydrology. Marsh microseris (Microseris paludosa). CNPS Rank 1B. Moderate Potential. Marsh Microseris is a perennial forb in the sunflower family (Asteraceae) that blooms from April through July. It typically occurs in closed -cone coniferous forest, cismontane woodland, coastal scrub, and valley and foothill grassland habitat at elevations ranging from 15 to 985 feet (CDFW 2017, CNPS 2017b). Observed associated species include coast live oak, coyote brush (Baccharis pilularis), English plantain, blue-eyed grass, bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum), rough cat's ear (Hypochaeris radicata), common velvet grass, little rattlesnake grass (Briza minima), narrow -leaf mule ears (Wyethia angustifolia), and Douglas iris (Iris douglasiana) (CDFW 2017). Marsh microseris is known from 24 USGS 7.5 -minute quadrangles in Marin, Mendocino, Monterey, San Benito, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, San Luis Obispo, San Mateo, and Sonoma counties (CNPS 2017b). Marsh microseris has a moderate potential to occur in mesic areas within grassland in the Study Area due to the presence of suitable habitat. Cotula navarettia (Navarretia cotulifolia) CNPS Rank 4. Baker's navarretia is an annual herb in the phlox family (Polemoniaceae) that blooms from May to June. It typically occurs in vernally wet areas underlain by adobe substrates in chaparral, cismontane woodland, and valley and foothill grassland at elevations ranging from 10 to 6,005 feet (CDFW 2017, CNPS 2017b). Observed associated species are not reported in the literature. Cotula navarretia is known from 6 UGSG 7.5 -minute quadrangles in Alameda, Butt e, Contra Costa, Colusa, Glenn, Lake, Mendocino, Marin, Napa, San Benito, Santa Clara, Siskiyou, Solano, Sonoma, Sutter, and Yolo counties (CNPS 2017b). Cotula navarretia has a moderate potential to occur in the Study Area due to the presence of grassland habitat underlain by clay soils. Gairdner's yampah (Perideridia gairdneri ssp. gairdner��. CNPS Rank 4. Moderate Potential. Gairdner's yampah is a perennial forb in the carrot family (Apiaceae) that blooms from June to October. It typically occurs in vernally mesic areas within broadleaf upland forest, chaparral, coastal prairie, valley and foothill grassland, and vernal pool habitat at elevations ranging from 0 to 1985 feet (CNPS 2015, Baldwin et al. 2012). This species is a facultative (FAC) plant (Lichvar 2016), and is known from vernal pool habitat in some regions of California, but is generalist in others (VPA?) (Keeler -Wolf et al. 1998). Observed associated species include meadow barley, purple needlegrass, dallisgrass (Paspalum dilatatum), Kellogg's yampah (Perideridia kelloggii), Harlequin lotus, johnny-nip (Castilleja ambigua ssp. ambigua), and large flowered star tulip (Personal observation 2016 at Lagunitas Meadows, Marin County; Howell et al. 2007). Gairdner's yampah is known from 15 USGS 7.5 -minute quadrangles in Contra Costa, Kern, Los Angeles, Marin, Mendocino, Monterey, Napa, Orange, San Benito, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, San Mateo, Solano, and Sonoma counties (CNPS 2017b). Gairdner's yampah has a moderate potential to occur in mesic areas within grassland in the Study Area due to the presence of suitable habitat. 19 4.3.2 Special -Status Wildlife 84 special -status species of have been recorded in the vicinity of the Study Area based on a review of CNDDB (CDFW 2017) and USFWS (USFWS 2017) records and other resources. Appendix B summarizes the potential for each of these species to occur in the Study Area, Figure 4 depicts known CNDDB records of special -status plant species within a 5 -mile radius of the Study Area. No special -status wildlife species were observed in the Study Area during the site assessment. 19 special -status wildlife species with a moderate or high potential to occur in the Study Area are discussed below. Although monarch butterfly is likely to transit through the Study Area, it is unlikely to roost there. Regulatory protections for this species are applied to roosts, not individuals, so no further surveys or mitigation measures are recommended and this species is not discussed further. Measures to reduce avoid or reduce impacts to the following species are described in Section 5.3 of this assessment. Fringed myotis (Myotis thysanodes). WBWG High Priority. Moderate Potential. The fringed myotis ranges through much of western North America from southern British Columbia, Canada, south to Chiapas, Mexico and from Santa Cruz Island in California, east to the Black Hills of South Dakota. This species is found in desert scrubland, grassland, sage -grass steppe, old-growth forest, and subalpine coniferous and mixed deciduous forest. Oak and pinyon -juniper woodlands are most commonly used. The fringed myotis roosts in colonies from 10 to 2,000 individuals, although large colonies are rare. Caves, buildings, underground mines, rock crevices in cliff faces, and bridges are used for maternity and night roosts, while hibernation has only been documented in buildings and underground mines. Tree -roosting has also been documented in Oregon, New Mexico, and California (WBWG 2017). Some of the trees in the Study Area may provide suitable day/night roosts. The bridge within the Study Area does not provide cracks with thermal stability suitable for roosting bats. Due to the presence of roosting opportunities as well as the proximity to water and foraging opportunities, this species has a moderate potential to roost within the Study Area. Hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus). WBWG Medium Priority. Moderate Potential. Hoary bats are highly associated with forested habitats in the western United States, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. They are a solitary species and roost primarily in foliage of both coniferous and deciduous trees, near the ends of branches, usually at the edge of a clearing. Roosts are typically 10 to 30 feet above the ground. They have also been documented roosting in caves, beneath rock ledges, in woodpecker holes, in grey squirrel nests, under driftwood, and clinging to the side of buildings, though this behavior is not typical. Hoary bats are thought to be highly migratory, however, wintering sites and migratory routes have not been well documented. This species tolerates a wide range of temperatures and has been captured at air temperatures between 0 and 22 degrees Celsius. Hoary bats probably mate in the fall, with delayed implantation leading to birth in May through July. They usually emerge late in the evening to forage, typically from just over one hour after sunset to after midnight. This species reportedly has a strong preference for moths, but is also known to eat beetles, flies, grasshoppers, termites, dragonflies, and wasps (WBWG 2017). The bridge within the Study Area does not provide cracks with thermal stability suitable for roosting bats. However, some of the trees within the Study Area may be suitable for day roosting bats. Due to the presence of roosting opportunities as well as the proximity to water and foraging opportunities, this species has a moderate potential to roost within the Study Area. 20 1, American badger 7, foothill yellow -legged frog 13, salt -marsh harvest mouse 19, western bumble bee 2, burrowing owl 8, golden eagle 14, saltmarsh common yellowthroat 20, western pond turtle �I 3, California black rail 9, mimic tryonia(=California brackishwater snail) 15, San Pablo song sparrow 21, western yellow -billed cuckoo 4, California red -legged frog 10, pallid bat 16, steelhead - central California coast DPS S.

Special -Status Wildlife Species Documented within 5 -miles of the Study Area Denman Reach N 0 1 z Petaluma, California - Miles m wra ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS This Page Intentionally Left Blank 22 Long-legged myotis (Myotis volans). WBWG High Priority. Moderate Potential. The long- legged myotis ranges across western North America from southeastern Alaska to Baja California and east to the Great Plains and central Texas. This species is usually found in coniferous forests, but also occurs seasonally in riparian and desert habitats. They use abandoned buildings, cracks in the ground, cliff crevices, exfoliating tree bark and hollows within snags, as summer day roosts. Caves and mines are used as hibernation roosts. Long-legged myotis forage in and around the forest canopy and feed on moths and other soft -bodies insects (WBWG 2017). The bridge within the Study Area does not provide cracks with thermal stability suitable for roosting bats. However, some of the trees within the Study Area may be suitable for day roosting bats. Due to the presence of roosting opportunities as well as the proximity to water and foraging opportunities, this species has a moderate potential to roost within the Study Area. Pallid bat (Antrozous pallidus). CDFW Species of Special Concern. WBWG High Priority. Moderate Potential. Pallid bats occur in a number of habitats ranging from rocky and deserts to grasslands and higher elevation coniferous forests. They are most abundant in the and Sonoran life zones below 6,000 feet. Pallid bats often roost in colonies of between 20 and several hundred individuals. Roosts are typically in rock crevices, tree hollows, mines, caves, and a variety of man-made structures, including vacant and occupied buildings. Tree roosting has been documented in large conifer snags (e.g. ponderosa pine), inside basal hollows of redwoods and giant sequoias, and within bole cavities in oak trees. They have also been reported roosting in stacks of burlap sacks and stone piles. Pallid bats are primarily insectivorous, feeding on large prey that is taken on the ground, or sometimes in flight. Prey items include arthropods such as scorpions, ground crickets, and cicadas (WBWG 2017). The bridge within the Study Area does not provide cracks with thermal stability suitable for roosting bats. However, some of the trees within the Study Area may be suitable for day roosting bats. Due to the presence of roosting opportunities as well as the proximity to water and foraging opportunities, this species has a moderate potential to roost within the Study Area. Townsend's 6; #4 bat, (Corynorhinus townsendM , CDFW Species of Special Concern, WBWG High Priority. Moderate Potential. This species ranges throughout western North America from British Columbia to central Mexico. Its local distribution is strongly associated with the presence of caves, but roosting also occurs within man-made structures including mines and buildings. While many bats species wedge themselves into tight cracks and crevices, big -eared bats hang from walls and ceilings in the open. Males roost singly during the spring and summer months while females aggregate in the spring at maternity roosts to give birth. Females roost with their young until late summer or early fall, until the young become independent, flying and foraging on their own. In central and southern California, hibernation roosts tend to be made up A small aggregations of individuals (Pierson and Rainey 1998). Foraging typically occurs along edge habitats near streams and wooded areas, where moths are the primary prey (WBWG 2015). The Study Area contains several large oak trees which may provide roosting opportunities. Therefore, Townsend's big -eared bat has a moderate potential to occur within the Study Area. Western red bat (Lasiurus blossevillii). CDFW Species of Special Concern. WBWG High Priority. Moderate Potential. This species is highly migratory and broadly distributed, reaching from southern Canada through much of the western United States. They are typically solitary, roosting primarily in the foliage of trees or shrubs. Day roosts are commonly in edge habitats adjacent to streams or open fields, in orchards, sometimes in urban areas and possibly in association with riparian habitat (particularly willows, cottonwoods, and sycamores). Some of the trees within the Study Area may be suitable for day roosting bats. Due to the presence of roosting 23 opportunities as well as the proximity to water and foraging opportunities, this species has a moderate potential to roost within the Study Area. White-tailed kite (Elanus IeuCuruS), CDFW FUlly Protected Species. Moderate Potential. Kites occur in low elevation grassland, agricultural, wetland, oak woodland, and savannah habitats. Riparian zones adjacent to open areas are also used. Vegetative structure and prey availability seem to be more important than specific associations with plant species or vegetative communities. Lightly grazed or ungrazed fields generally support large prey populations and are often preferred to other habitats. Kites primarily feed on small mammals, although, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects are also taken. Nest trees range from single isolated trees to trees within large contiguous forests. Preferred nest trees are extremely variable, ranging from small shrubs (less than 10 feet tall), to large trees (greater than 150 feet tall) (Dunk 1995). There is a moderate potential for White-tailed kite to occur in the Study Area due to the presence of suitable nesting sites and adjacent grassland and agricultural fields provide open foraging habitat. Wrentit (Chamaea fasciafa). USFWS Bird of Conservation Concern. High Potential. Resident of coastal scrub and chaparral along the west coast. Away from the coast they occupy a variety of habitats including suburban yards and parks. This species occupies a small home range and does not migrate. Nuttall's woodpecker (Picoides nuttalli�). USFWS Bird of Conservation Concern. Moderate Potential. This species is found primarily in oak woodlands and in riparian woods and orchards, and rarely in conifers. It nests in tree cavities and feeds on insects and arthropods (Lowther 2000). It has been observed in the vicinity of the Study Area (Burridge 1995). Allen's hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin). USFWS Bird of Conservation Concern. Moderate Potential. Allen's hummingbird, common in many portions of its range, is a summer resident along the majority of California's coast and a year-round resident in portions of coastal southern California and the Channel Islands. Breeding occurs in association with the coastal fog belt, and typical habitats used include coastal scrub, riparian, woodland and forest edges, and eucalyptus or cypress groves (Mitchell 2000). It feeds on nectar, as well as insects and spiders. This generalist species has a moderate potential to nest within the Study Area. Rufous hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus). USFWS Bird of Conservation Concern. Moderate Potential. The Rufous Hummingbird is a common migrant and uncommon summer resident in California. It occurs in a wide variety of habitats as long as they provide abundant nectar sources. The presence of suitable nest trees and nectaring plants within the Study Area gives this species a moderate potential to occur. Oak titmouse (Baeolophus inornatus). USFWS Bird of Conservation Concern. Moderate Potential. This relatively common species is year-round resident throughout much of California including most of the coastal slope, the Central Valley and the western Sierra Nevada foothills. Its primary habitat is woodland dominated by oaks. Local populations have adapted to woodlands A pines and/or junipers in some areas (Cicero 2000). The oak titmouse nests in tree cavities, usually natural cavities or those excavated by woodpeckers, though they may partially excavate their own (Cicero 2000). Seeds and arboreal invertebrates make up the birds' diet. Trees within the Study Area may provide suitable habitat to support nesting and foraging by the species; therefore, oak titmouse has a moderate potential to nest within the Study Area. Yellow warbler (Dendroica petechia brewsteri). CDFW Species of Special Concern. Moderate Potential. Yellow Warbler occurs most commonly in wet, deciduous thickets along 24 stream courses, especially those dominated by willows. This species is found at lower elevations in California and at higher elevations along watercourses with riparian growth (Lowther et al. 1999). Yellow warbler populations have declined due to brood parasitism by brown -headed cowbirds (Molothrus ater) and habitat destruction. This species' diet is primarily comprised of insects, supplemented with berries. The Study Area provides dense blackberry bushes in clearings along the riparian corridor, and this habitat is considered typical nesting and foraging habitat for this species. However, human disturbance and urban development in the area reduce the value of habitat onsite; therefore, this species has a moderate potential to occur in the Study Area Loggerhead Shrike (Lanius ludovicianus), CDFW Species of Special Concern, USFWS Bird A Conservation Concern. Moderate Potential. The loggerhead shrike is a common resident and winter visitor in lowlands and foothills throughout California. It prefers open habitats with scattered trees, shrubs, posts, fences, utility lines or other perches. Nests are usually built on a stable branch in a densely -foliaged shrub or small tree and are usually well -concealed. The highest densities occur in open -canopied valley foothill hardwood, valley foothill hardwood - conifer, valley foothill riparian pinyon -juniper, juniper, and desert riparian habitats. While this species eats mostly Arthropods, they also take amphibians, small to medium-sized reptiles, small mammals and birds, and is also known to scavenge on carrion. The Study Area provides pockets of dense riparian nesting habitat for this species, and open foraging areas are available adjacent to the site. Open fields are not extensive due to urban development; therefore, this species has a moderate potential to occur in the Study Area. Yellow -breasted Chat (Icteria vixens), CDFW Species of Special Concern. Yellow -breasted Chat is an uncommon summer resident and migrant in coastal California and in foothills of the Sierra Nevada. It is a large warbler found in dense, brushy thickets and tangles near water, and in thick understory in riparian woodland. The Study Area provides pockets of dense riparian habitat for nesting and foraging. The species is a probable breeder in vicinity of the Study Area (Burridge 1995). Though human disturbance and urban development in the area reduce the value this habitat, this species has a moderate potential to occur in the Study Area. Pacific (western) pond turtle (Actinemys marmorata). CDFW Species of Special Concern. Moderate Potential. The only native freshwater turtle in California, Pacific pond turtle (PPT) is found in suitable aquatic habitat throughout California west of the Sierras. It inhabits perennial aquatic habitats, such as lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, and canals that provide submerged cover and suitable basking structures, such as rocks and logs. Pacific pond turtles prefer to nest on unshaded slopes close to their aquatic habitat, and hatchlings require shallow water with relatively dense vegetation for foraging for aquatic invertebrates (Jennings and Hayes 1994). Turtles require suitable aquatic habitat for most of the year; however, to escape periods of high water flow, high salinity, or prolonged dry conditions, PPT may move upstream and/or take refuge in vegetated, upland habitat for up to four months (Rathbun et al. 2002). Although upland habitat is utilized for refuge and nesting, this species preferentially utilizes aquatic and riparian corridors for movement and dispersal. This species has been documented to occur in the Petaluma River system less than one mile upstream of the Study Area (CDFG 2017). The aquatic habitat in the Study Area is perennial and supports patches of vegetation suitable for foraging. Algae on the water surface may provide suitable cover, though few basking structures were observed. This species has moderate potential to occur in the Study Area. 25 Chinook Salmon - Central Valley Fall/late fall -run ESU (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), NMFS Species of Concern, CDFG Species of Special Concern. Moderate Potential. The Central Valley Fall/late fall -run Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) includes all naturally spawned fall -run populations from the Sacramento - San Joaquin River mainstem and its tributaries. Late -fall run chinook salmon are morphologically similar to spring -run chinook. They are large salmonids, reaching 75-100 cm SL and weighing up to 9-10 kg or more. The great majority of late -fall chinook salmon appear to spawn in the mainstem of the Sacramento River, which they enter from October through February. Spawning occurs in January, February and March, although it may extend into April in some years. Fry have emerged by early June, and the juveniles hold in the river for nearly a year before moving out to sea the following December through March. The specific habitat requirements of late -fall chinook have not been determined, but they are presumably similar to other chinook salmon runs and fall within the range of physical and chemical characteristics of the Sacramento River above Red Bluff. When anticipated winter rains increase the streamflow of Denman Reach, this species may migrate through the Study Area in search of appropriate spawning habitat. In the Study Area, no gravelly substrate characteristic of Chinook spawning habitat is available; however, the aquatic habitat onsite may provide rearing and foraging habitat for juveniles. There is a moderate potential for this species to occur in the Study Area. Steelhead - Central California Coast ESU (Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus), Federal Threatened Species. Moderate Potential. The Central California Coast ESU includes all naturally spawned populations of steelhead (and their progeny) in California streams from the Russian River to Aptos Creek, and the drainages of San Francisco and San Pablo Bays eastward to the Napa River (inclusive), excluding the Sacramento -San Joaquin River Basin. Steelhead typically migrate to marine waters after spending two years in freshwater, though they may stay up to seven. They then reside in marine waters for 2 or 3 years prior to returning to their natal stream to spawn as 4 -or 5-year4ds. Steelhead adults typically spawn between December and June. In California, females typically spawn two times before they die. Preferred spawning habitat for steelhead is in perennial streams with cool to cold water temperatures, high dissolved oxygen levels and fast flowing water. Abundant riffle areas (shallow areas with gravel or cobble substrate) for spawning and deeper pools with sufficient riparian cover for rearing are necessary for successful breeding. Central California Coast Steelhead migrate up the Petaluma River in the fall and winter to spawn in the winter and spring. Though the Study Area does not provide suitable gravel substrate for spawning, adults of this ESU migrate through in search of spawning habitat, and juveniles may rear onsite. The Petaluma River, including the stretch of river within the Study Area, is considered Critical Habitat for this ESU by NMFS (2017), and CNDDB records indicate that this ESU has been observed in the Petaluma River system within five miles of the Study Area (CDFG 2017). Therefore, there is a moderate potential for this ESU to occur in the Study Area, Sacramento Splittail (Pogonichthys macrolepidotus), CDFW Species of Special Concern, Moderate Potential. Splittail are primarily freshwater fish that have been found mostly in slow- moving sections of rivers and sloughs, and in the Delta and Suisun Marsh they seemed to congregate in dead-end sloughs (Moyle et al. 1982, Daniels and Moyle 1983). Splittail are benthic foragers that feed extensively on opossum shrimp (Neomysis mercedis). However, detrital material typically makes up a high percentage of their stomach contents. They will feed opportunistically on earthworms, clams, insect larvae, and other invertebrates. They are preyed upon by striped bass and other predatory fishes. Splittail apparently require flooded vegetation for spawning and as foraging areas for young, hence are found in habitat subject to periodic flooding during the breeding season (Caywood 1974). Recent occurrences of this species are known from the Petaluma River, about 1 mile downstream from the Study Area (CDFW 2017). 09 Though recent flooding in 2016-2017 has impacted the quality of the habitat in the Study Area, this species may occur in the Study Area. 4.3.3 Listed Wildlife Species Unlikely to Occur C7 Study Area Federally listed species that are documented to occur in the same region of the Study Area, but are unlikely or have no potential to occur in the Study Area include: California red -legged frog, western yellow -billed cuckoo, California tiger salamander, green sturgeon, delta smelt, coho salmon - central California coast ESU, California freshwater shrimp, callippe silverspot butterfly, Behren's silverspot butterfly, and Myrtle's silverspot butterfly. There are no state -listed species with potential to occur in the Study Area. The federal -listed species documented to occur in this region are discussed below. California red -Legged frog (Rana draytoni��. Federal Threatened, CDFW Species of Special Concern. Unlikely. California red -legged frog (CRLF) is dependent on suitable aquatic and upland habitat. Aquatic habitat is characterized by dense, riparian vegetation and deep, still or slow-moving water. Water must be present in breeding habitat for a minimum of 20 weeks to allow for eggs to hatch, larvae to develop and transition into terrestrial frogs. Breeding occurs between late November and late April. California red -legged frog may aestivate during the dry months in small mammal burrows, moist leaf litter, stream channels, and large cracks in the bottom of dried ponds. California red -legged frogs use upland habitat to disperse and forage. Despite documented occurrences of CRLF within two miles of the Study Area (CDFW 2017), the species is unlikely to occupy the habitats within the Study Area. The Petaluma River runs through and adjacent to the Study Area and contains potential aquatic non -breeding and dispersal habitat for this species, however barriers to dispersal and colonization, introduced predators and recent floods make the habitat within the Study Area inhospitable to CRLF. Dominant substrates consist of fine grains, fill in most of the complex aquatic features that would characterize more suitable CRLF aquatic habitat. Dominance of these fine grains, which mobilize easily during flood events, reduces the capacity for emergent vegetation (important for cover and for oviposition sites) to establish and persist. The river is managed as a flood control channel to optimize efficiency of water conveyance, which reduces its capacity to naturally maintain deep pools and backwaters by creating a flow regime that is punctuated by peak flows that attenuate rapidly. These high peak flows would subject CRLF eggs and larvae to water velocities that they are not adapted to endure. Red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) were observed during the site visit and centrarchid fish (sunfish) are documented to occur in the Petaluma River (CalFish 2017). These introduced predators are known to strongly reduce CRLF presence as their larvae are ill adapted to avoid them. The river is confined to a narrow corridor and lacks the natural sinuosity and complexity of habitats (protected backwaters, deep pools, emergent vegetation) typical of natural streams of its size and gradient. Water turbidity is high and most pools are long and stagnant. As a combined result of these factors, suitable breeding habitat for CRLF in and adjacent to the Study Area is absent. The upland areas surrounding the narrow riparian corridor are disturbed (disced or mowed fields, recreational trail) and urbanized (busy roads, residential and commercial use). The degree of disturbance and urbanization in these surrounding areas is a hindrance to movement of CRLF from the nearest suitable breeding habitat, which is more than a mile away. As a result of these barriers to dispersal and colonization and the aforementioned combination of factors that compromise the aquatic habitat in the Study Area, CRLF is unlikely to occur. However, due to the presence of nearby occurrences and CRLFs capability to disperse for up to 2 miles from suitable breeding habitat, further recommendations for this species are included in Section 5.3 of this assessment. This assessment is in agreement with the 2016 not likely to adversely affect 27 (NLAA) determination issued by the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps 2016) for areas immediately upstream of this project phase. Western Yellow -billed Cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus occidentalis), Federal Threatened, State Endangered Species, USFWS Bird of Conservation Concern. The western yellow -billed cuckoo is a summer visitor, occurring in California from about mid-May until early September. This species prefers mixed old growth riparian forests of willow and cottonwood, with an understory dense with blackberries and California wild grape. These cuckoos require an average of 17 hectares of dense riparian habitat per pair for foraging and nesting. The riparian habitat onsite may not be extensive enough for this species to forage and nest. It is surrounded by urban development and is subject to high levels of human disturbance. This species is also considered extirpated from Sonoma County (CDFG 2008); therefore, it is unlikely that this species would occur in the Study Area. California Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma californiense), Federal Threatened, State Threatened. The California tiger salamander is restricted to grasslands and low -elevation foothill regions in California (generally under 1500 feet) where it uses seasonal aquatic habitats for breeding. The salamanders breed in natural ephemeral pools, or ponds that mimic ephemeral pools (stock ponds that go dry), and occupy substantial areas surrounding the breeding pool as adults. California tiger salamanders spend most of their time in the grasslands surrounding breeding pools. They survive hot, dry summers by estivating (going through a dormant period) in refugia (such as burrows created by ground squirrels and other mammals and deep cracks or holes in the ground) where the soil atmosphere remains near the water saturation point. During wet periods, the salamanders may emerge from refugia and feed in the surrounding grasslands. The aquatic habitat in the Study Area is perennial, lotic and subject to seasonal high flow events and therefore unsuitable for this species. In addition, the area is surrounded by urban development and does not appear to provide sufficient refugia for this species. Several of the adjacent upland fields in which this species might find refuge were tilled and most were disced. The habitat onsite is not considered suitable for this species; therefore, it is unlikely that this species would occur in the Study Area, Green Sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris), Federal Threatened, CDFG Species of Special Concern. Green sturgeon are generally found in marine waters from the Bering Sea to Ensenada, Mexico. However, spawning populations have been found only in medium-sized rivers from the Sacramento -San Joaquin system north. Spawning occurs in the Sacramento River between March and June; it may extend slightly longer, into July, in the Klamath River. Water temperature during spawning is likely 50° to 70°F. Little is known about spawning behavior. Spawning occurs in deep, fastwater. The fertilized eggs are slightly adhesive and hatch after four to 12 days. Larvae stay close to the bottom and appear to rear primarily in rivers well upstream of estuaries. This species is not known to spawn in the Petaluma River system, and the Study Area is outside the established range for this species (CalFish 2017); therefore, it is unlikely that this species would occur in the Study Area. �:3 Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), Federal Threatened, State Threatened Species, Delta Smelt are a pelagic (live in the open water column away from the bottom) and euryhaline species (tolerant of a wide salinity range) found in brackish water. They are found only in the Sacramento -San Joaquin Estuary and as far upstream as the mouth of the American River on the Sacramento River and Mossdale on the San Joaquin River. They extend downstream as far as San Pablo Bay. During the late winter to early summer, delta smelt migrate to freshwater to spawn. Larvae hatch between 1 0-1 4 days, are planktonic (float with the water currents), and are washed downstream until they reach areas near the entrapment zone where salt and fresh water mix. The Study Area is outside the known range for this species (CDFW 2017) and typically spawns and forages in the Sacramento -San Joaquin delta system; therefore, it is unlikely that this species would occur in the Study Area. Coho Salmon - Central California Coast ESU (Oncorhynchus kisutch), Federal Endangered, State Endangered Species. The Central California Coast ESU includes all naturally spawned populations of coho salmon (and their progeny) in California streams from the Eel River to Aptos Creek, including the Russian River and its tributaries, excluding the Sacramento -San Joaquin River Basin. Coho salmon typically migrate in late -fall to early winter to spawn in smaller, coastal streams. Spawning migration known as "runs" occur throughout the year. Spawning occurs mainly between November and January, but can occur as late as March during drought conditions. Juveniles may spend several years in the freshwater habitat before migrating to the ocean. Most adult fish return "home" maintaining fidelity to their natal stream. Preferred spawning habitat for coho salmon is small freshwater streams, with cool to cold water temperatures, medium to small gravel substrate, high dissolved oxygen levels, at the head of a riffle where water changes from laminar flow to turbulent flow (provides greater dissolved oxygen). Abundant riffle areas (shallow areas with gravel substrate) for spawning and deeper pools with sufficient riparian cover for rearing are necessary for successful breeding. There are no documented occurrences of this ESU in the Petaluma River, and it is presumed extirpated from the region (CDFW 2017); therefore, it is unlikely that this species would occur in the Study Area. California freshwater shrimp (Syncaris Pacifica), Federal Endangered, State Endangered Species. California freshwater shrimp are detritus feeders found in low -elevation and low - gradient streams where banks are structurally diverse, containing undercut banks, exposed roots, overhanging woody debris, or overhanging vegetation. Historically the shrimp is assumed to have been common in perennial freshwater streams in Marin, Sonoma, and Napa counties. This species is not known to occur in the Petaluma River or its tributaries (CDFW 2017, Serpa 1996) and banks in the Study Area are not structurally diverse due to recent high flows and heavy sediment loads. The presence of centrarchids and red swamp crayfish also reduce the likelihood of the species to occur in the Study Area. Therefore it is unlikely for California freshwater shrimp to occur in the Study Area, callippe silverspot butterfly (Speyeria callippe callippe), Federal Endangered. The callippe silverspot butterfly is a subspecies of the more common callippe fritallary butterfly (Speyeria callippe). The potential for this species to occur is dependent on the presence of the silverspot's hostplant, Johnny jump-up (Viola pedunculate). No suitable coastal habitat occurs within or adjacent to the Study Area. In addition, no larval hostplant species were observed during the site visit; therefore, it is unlikely that this species would occur in the Study Area. Myrtle's silverspot butterfly (Speyeria zerene myrtleae), Federal Endangered. Populations were formerly found in coastal dune or prairie habitat from San Mateo County north to the mouth of the Russian River in Sonoma County. The populations south of the Golden Gate apparently have been extirpated by urban development. Four populations are known to inhabit coastal terrace prairie, coastal bluff scrub, and associated non-native grassland habitats in western Marin 29 and southwestern Sonoma counties, including the Point Reyes National Seashore. Adult butterflies are typically found in areas that are sheltered from the wind, below 810 feet (250 meters) elevation, and within three miles of the coast. The potential for this species to occur is dependent on the presence of the silverspot's larval hostplant, which is typically the hookedspur violet (Viola adunca) (Black and Vaughan 2005). No suitable coastal habitat occurs within or adjacent to the Study Area. In addition, no larval hostplant species were observed during the site visit; therefore, it is unlikely that this species would occur in the Study Area, San Bruno Elfin Butterfly (Callophrys mossii bayensis). Federal Endangered. No Potential to Occur. San Bruno elfin butterfly inhabits coastal mountains near San Francisco Bay. Specifically, it prefers steep north -facing slopes in the fog -belt that receive little direct sunlight. It prefers near -prolific growths of the larval food plant, broadleaf stonecrop (Sedum spathulifolium), a low growing succulent associated with rocky outcrops that occur on steep, north -facing slopes in coastal scrub habitats from 200 to 5,000 feet elevation. The San Bruno elfin is restricted to a few small populations, the largest of which occurs on San Bruno Mountain, The Study Area is dominated by non-native annual grassland and non-native trees and is below 500 feet elevation. The larval host plant for this species was not observed in the Study Area during the site assessment. These topographic features and lack of host plants make the Study Area unsuitable for the species. The Study Area is out of the accepted range of the species. The lack of host plants, current dominant plant communities and elevation of the Study Area combined with lack of observed occurrences suggests that this species has no potential to occur in the Study Area. 5.0 POTENTIAL IMPACTS, AVOIDANCE, MINIMIZATION, AND MITIGATION MEASURES 5.1 Project Description Phase IV of the Denman Reach flood control Project proposes to continue to reduce frequent flooding of in an industrial -zoned area of Petaluma as part of the greater Petaluma River Flood Management and Enhancement Project. The Project purpose is to decrease flooding events by creating additional flood storage. Preliminary Project designs (City of Petaluma 2016) include floodplain terracing and/or detention basins in the west Study Area, and removing accumulated sediment in the Petaluma River, and repairing scouring beneath the east abutment of the Corona River Bridge in the east Study Area. 5.2 Significance Threshold Criteria Pursuant to Appendix G, Section IV of the State CEQA Guidelines, a project would have a significant impact on biological resources if it would: a) 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 CDFW or USFWS; b) 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 CDFW or USFWS; 30 c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means; 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; e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance; and/or, 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. This report utilizes these thresholds in the analysis of impacts and determination of the significance of those impacts. The assessment of impacts under CEQA is based on the changes caused by the Project relative to the existing conditions in the Study Area. The existing conditions in the Study Area are described above, based on surveys conducted in 2017. In applying CEQA Appendix G, the terms "substantial' and "substantially" are used as the basis for significance determinations in many of the thresholds, but are not defined qualitatively or quantitatively in CEQA or in technical literature. In some cases, such as direct impacts to special -status species listed under the CESA or ESA, the determination of a substantial impact may be relatively straightforward. In other cases, the determination is less clear, and requires application of best professional judgment based on knowledge of site conditions as well as the ecology and physiology of biological resources present in a given area. Determinations of whether or not Project activities will result in a substantial adverse effect to biological resources are discussed in the following sections for sensitive biological communities, special -status plant species, and special -status wildlife species. 5.3 Potentially Significant Impacts Three sensitive biological communities are present within the Study Area including perennial streamI seasonal wetland depression, and riparian red willow thicket. Six special -status plant species and 19 special -status wildlife species have potential to occur within the Study Area. Potential impacts to these sensitive resources associated with the proposed Project are discussed below. Recommended avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures to reduce such impacts are also included. 5.3.1 Biological Communities Potential Impact 810-1: Impacts to Waters of the United States, and Waters of the State The Project will temporarily or permanently impact seasonal wetland depressions, and perennial stream. These stream and wetland features are regulated by, and would require permits from, the Corps under Section 404 of the CWA, the RWQCB under section 401 of the CWA and the Porter -Cologne Water Quality Control Act, and in the case of the perennial stream, the CDFW under Sections 1600-1616 of the CFGC. Compensatory mitigation may be a conditional requirement of permits even though the project would be somewhat self -mitigating by creation of additional wetland habitat. Mitigation Measure BI0 -1: Impacts to Waters of the United States, and Waters of the State 31 Prior to filling of jurisdictional waters, or construction activities within Corps, RWQCB or CDFW jurisdiction, necessary regulatory permits will be obtained from the appropriate agencies. Regulatory permits to be obtained include a Corps Permit, Regional Water Quality Control Board Section 401 Water Quality Certification and/or Waste Discharge Requirement. Prior to proposed filling of jurisdictional waters, compliance with all regulatory agency permit conditions shall be demonstrated. Permanent impacts to jurisdictional wetlands will be mitigated at a minimum 1:1 ratio on a functions and values basis by: (1) restoring wetlands in the Study Area; (2) purchasing an appropriate amount of mitigation credits by an approved mitigation bank, or (3) another type of mitigation as approved by the Corps, RWQCB, and/or CDFW through the permitting process. With the implementation of these measures, the Project impact on waters of the U.S. and State will be less than significant. Potential Impact 810-2: Impacts to Riparian Vegetation The Project will impact riparian vegetation in the riparian red willow thicket community. Although this area will be re -planted and restored as part of the Project, there will be a temporary loss of habitat during construction and a reduction in habitat quality for the first few years following re- establishment. This habitat is regulated by CDFW under Sections 1600-1616 of the CFGC. Mitigation Measure 810-2: Impacts to Riparian Vegetation Prior to removing riparian vegetation or construction activities within CDFW or RWQCB jurisdiction, necessary regulatory permits will be obtained from the appropriate agencies. Regulatory permits to be obtained include a CFGC Section 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement. The project shall comply with all regulatory agency permit conditions and compensatory mitigation measures as determined and required by regulatory agencies during permit authorization, but shall be no less than 1:1 replacement ratio. Mitigation options will include the following: (1) planting replacement riparian vegetation, (2) purchase of mitigation bank credits from an approved mitigation bank, and/or (3) paying an indieu fee to a natural resource agency or habitat resource organization. For habitat that is preserved and/or established for mitigation, a Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (HMMP) shall be prepared. The HMMP will include a detailed description of restoration/enhancement/preservation actions; restoration performance criteria for each biological parameter (Le., native/invasive plants, wildlife use); and a monitoring/maintenance/reporting requirements for each biological parameter to evaluate restoration performance criteria. With the implementation of these measures, the Project impact on riparian vegetation will be less than significant. Potential Impact 810-3: Protected Tree Removal The Project will remove trees considered protected per the Petaluma Tree Ordinance, including but not limited to trees within the riparian area. The City may require mitigation for impacts to these trees. However, the mitigation and monitoring plan developed for federal and state permits may be sufficient to cover the mitigation requirements of the City. Mitigation Measure 810-3: Protected Tree Removal A permit from the City of Petaluma will be acquired for the removal of any protected tree. Conditions of approval may include tree replacement plantings or the payment of in -lieu fees. . With the implementation of these measures, the Project impact on protected trees will be less than significant. 32 5.3.2 Special -status Plant Species Potential Impact BIO -4: Potential Impacts to Special -status Plant Species Six special -status plant species including pappose tarplant, congested -headed hayfield tarplant, Harlequin lotus, marsh microseris, cotula navarettia, and Gairdner's yampah have a moderate potential to occur in the Study Area based on the availability of suitable habitat, the presence of associated plant species, and the proximity to documented occurrences. The timing of the site visit was not sufficient to identify these species based on their documented bloom periods. Pappose tarplant, congested -headed hayfield tarplant, and marsh microseris are all CNPS Rank 1 B species, meaning that they are considered rare, threatened or endangered in throughout their range in California, and impacts to them must be considered under CEQA. In contrast, Harlequin lotus, cotula navarretia, and Gairdner's yampah all are ranked CNPS Rank 4. According to the CNPS guidelines (CNPS 2017b), few, if any, Rank 4 species are eligible for state listing under CESA; however, impacts may be considered significant under CEQA in special cases. Examples of impacts that may be considered significant under CEQA include: • Impacts to the type locality of a California Rare Plant Rank 4 plant; • Impacts to populations at the periphery of a species' range; • Impacts in areas where the taxon is especially uncommon; • Impacts in areas where the taxon has sustained heavy losses; or • Impacts to populations exhibiting unusual morphology or occurring on unusual substrates. If present in the Study Area, impacts to the aforementioned special -status plant species could be significant under CEQA (criterion A). Mitigation Measure BIO -4: Potential Impacts to Special -status Plant Species Six special -status plant species have potential to occur in the Study Area. To avoid impacts to special -status plants, protocol -level surveys shall be conducted during the documented bloom period of the species. Two site visits, including one early -season (May), and one late -season (July) will be sufficient to cover the bloom periods of the six species with potential to occur. Survey timing may fluctuate based on blooming periods of appropriate reference site locations. If special -status plant surveys result in negative findings, no impacts would occur, and no mitigation would be required. However, if special -status plants are identified in the impact area, mitigation will be required. Mitigation will include avoidance, or if avoidance is not feasible, seeds collection and re-establishment at a minimum 1:1 ratio (number of plant established: number of plants impacted) in preserved, suitable habitat. Re-established populations shall be monitored annually in accordance with an approved HMMP for a minimum of five years. Reports describing performance results will be prepared and submitted for years 1, 3, and 5 during the monitoring period. With the implementation of these measures, the Project impact on special -status plants will be less than significant. [cZt3 5.3.3 Special -status Wildlife Species Most of the species found in the review of background literature occur in habitats not found in the Study Area. Many special -status wildlife species that occur in the region of the Study Area are associated with coastal, vernal pools, friable soils, estuarine, or saline marsh habitats, none of which are found in or adjacent to the Study Area. Terrestrial habitats in the Study Area are disturbed, ruderal, fragmented, and are considered low -quality foraging habitat for most special - status species. The streambed is primarily composed of fine sediments and does not provide suitable spawning habitat for special -status fish species, though they may occasionally transit through the Study Area. The Petaluma River is managed as a flood conveyance structure and lacks structural complexity in comparison to natural rivers of its size and gradient and is more similar to a drainage ditch than a natural river. Riparian vegetation surrounding the streambed is moderately dense and may provide nesting/roosting and foraging habitat for a number of sensitive bird and bat species. Of the 84 special -status wildlife species known to occur in the greater vicinity of the Study Area, 19 were determined to have moderate or high potential to occur in the Study Area. One species, CRLF, was determined to be unlikely to occur in the Study Area, but avoidance is recommended out of an abundance of caution due to nearby occurrences. Each of the special -status species with a moderate or high potential (and CRLF) to occur in the Study Area is associated with arboreal, aquatic and/or riparian habitat; therefore, disturbance of these features should be avoided or minimized where feasible. Impact avoidance and minimization recommendations are discussed below. Potential Impact 810-5: Bats Six species of bat were determined to have a moderate potential to occur within the Study Area due to the presence of mature trees that may provide suitable roosting habitat and its proximity to water and suitable foraging habitat. Those species with potential to occur include: Townsend's big -eared bat, fringed myotis, hoary bat, long-legged myotis, western red bat and pallid bat. None of the bat species with potential to occur within the Study Area are state or federally listed as endangered, threatened or candidate for listing. Therefore, measures to avoid impacts to each bat species are equivalent and recommendations are outlined below. Mitigation Measure 810-5: BatAvoidance While trees are not typically used as hibernation roosts, mature oaks and other large trees on the property could potentially be used as day or maternity roosting sites by bats. All bat roosts, including those of non -special -status bats are protected by CDFW. To avoid impacts to roosting bats, any project activities that would impact potential bat roosts shall be initiated outside of the maternity roosting season (March 1 — July 31). If project work such as the felling of trees cannot occur outside of the maternity season, then a bat roost survey shall be conducted within 14 days prior to the start of such activities. Any structures or trees that are determined to support roosts shall have a 200400t no work buffer placed around them, and the buffer shall not be lifted until the maternity season has completed. In addition, when any large trees are removed, they shall be allowed to lie undisturbed on the ground for one night to allow any roosting bats to escape on their own before the trees are processed. With the implementation of these measures, the Project impact on bats will be less than significant. Ki! Potential Impact 0I0-6: Birds No special -status birds were observed in the Study Area during the site assessment. Seven special -status bird species have a moderate potential to occur in the Study Area and include: white-tailed kite, oak titmouse, Nuttall's woodpecker, Allen's hummingbird, rufous hummingbird, yellow warbler and yellow breasted chat. None of the bird species listed above are state or federally listed as endangered, threatened or candidates for listing. White-tailed kite is listed as a California fully protected species. This designation requires extra consideration for buffer zones around active nests, but otherwise requires protection and surveys to be completed in the same manner as other species listed above. Measures to avoid impacts to special -status birds as well as native nesting birds protected by the Migratory Bird treaty Act (MBTA) and by Fish and Game Code (CFGC) are similar, and general recommendations are outlined below. Mitigation Measure BIO -6: Bird Avoidance For the protection of special -status birds, and native nesting birds protected by the MBTA and CFGC, future Project activities shall occur outside of the nesting season from September 1 — January 31, to the extent feasible. If working outside of the nesting season is not possible, and project activities are initiated during the nesting season (February 1 — August 31), a qualified wildlife biologist shall conduct a nesting bird survey no more than 14 days prior to the start of Project activities. If no active nests are identified during the surveys, no impacts will occur to birds and work will progress without restriction. If active nests are identified, a no -disturbance buffer around the nest shall be implemented to avoid impacts to nesting birds. Buffers will be determined by a qualified biologist, and typically range from 25 feet to 500 feet depending on the species and protection status of that species. Once an active nest is determined to no longer be active, because of young fledging or predation, the buffer around the nest shall be removed and work shall progress without restriction. With the implementation of these measures, the Project impact on nesting and/or protected birds will be less than significant. Potential Impact 810-7: Special -status fish Project work will require heavy equipment operation below the top of bank of the Petaluma River, which could temporarily impact special -status fish. The Petaluma River is designated critical habitat for California central coast chinook and California central coast steelhead. It is considered ::FH for coho and chinook salmon, and special -status salmonids may be present. Despite thie ::FH designation, Central Coast coho is considered extirpated from watersheds that drain into the San Francisco Bay. In order to prevent significant impacts to speciakstatus fish, including salmonids, associated with work in the Petaluma River, the following measures shall be implemented. Mitigation measure BIO -7: Special -status fish Aquatic habitat activities shall be completed during the dry season, between July 15 and October 1. Regulatory approval shall be obtained for all work within potentially jurisdictional areas from respective agencies. Approvals from the RWQCB, CDFW, and Corps are required based on project designs (City of Petaluma 2016). The Petaluma River is also designated critical habitat for California central coast chinook and California central coast steelhead; and is considered EFH for coho and chinook salmon. Therefore, it is likely that the Corps will consult with the USFWS 35 and NMFS for impacts to the Petaluma River. All work within these areas shall conform to any conditions imposed by the regulating agencies. Prior to construction, the contractor shall be required to prepare an Accidental Spill Prevention and Cleanup Plan. This plan shall include required spill control absorbent material, for use beneath stationary equipment, to be present on-site and available at all times. All refueling and maintenance of equipment, other than stationary equipment, shall occur at least 100 feet from the creek's top -of -bank. Refueling or maintenance of stationary equipment within the channel (top of bank to top of bank) shall only occur when secondary containment sufficient to eliminate escape of all potential fluids is in place. Any hazardous chemical spills shall be cleaned immediately. All stockpiling of construction materials, equipment, and supplies, including storage of chemicals, refueling and maintenance, with the exception of stationary equipment, shall occur outside the creek channel. No equipment shall be washed where runoff could enter the creek. No motorized equipment shall be left within the channel (top of bank to top of bank) overnight. Work shall be conducted in isolation from flowing water. Prior to the start of construction activities, the work area shall be isolated using temporary water diversion materials such as sand bags or other similar methods, and flowing water shall be temporarily diverted around the isolated area. If de -watering is necessary, pumps with 0.2 -inch mesh shall be used to remove standing water from the work area within the cofferdams to a filtration basin to prevent direct discharge into the creek. If a filtration basin is not available, filter bags will be placed surrounding the hose -release and the hose -release end shall be placed on a level area outside of the wetted creek channel to allow water to settle prior to returning to the creek. No pumped water shall be directly discharged into the creek. Allowing the pumped water to settle in a filtration basin or release through filter bags will prevent increase in turbidity or sediment loads during the de -watering process. If de -watering is necessary, a de -watering plan shall be submitted for agency approval. By implementing these measures, the Project's impacts to special -status fish, including salmonidsI shall be reduced to less than significant. Potential Impact 810-7: CRLF The Study Area contains potential aquatic habitat for California red -legged frog (Rana draytonii) (CRLF). Even though CRLF are unlikely to be present in the Study Area, if present, CRLF could be impacted by Project Activities. Mitigation Measure 810-7: CRLF Although the lack of upland habitat, lack of connectivity to suitable breeding habitat, intense flooding, sedimentation and introduced predators/competitors reduce the potential for CRLF to occur within the Study Area, measures to avoid CRLF impacts shall be implemented. The following measures shall be implemented to avoid CRLF and are in agreement with the measures described in the NLAA that was issued for this project (Corps 2016). An environmental awareness training for all crews working on the site shall include education on sensitive resources such as protected wildlife with the potential to occur within the area (identification, regulatory status, natural history), water quality and environmental protection measures. Within 48 hours prior to any construction activities, a biologist approved by USFWS (Approved Biologist) shall conduct surveys for CRLF in and adjacent to the Action Area, 100 feet upstream and 100 feet downstream of the Study Area, The Approved Biologist shall have stop work authority to protect natural resources or ensure personal safety or the safety of workers. If CRLF are detected during surveys, work shall cease until consultation with the appropriate agencies can be completed. If no CRLF are found during the preconstruction surveys, the Study Area shall be surveyed each Jay prior to commencement of work by the Approved Biologist or a qualified biologist under the direction of the Approved Biologist to ensure that no CRLF are present in the Study Area until vegetation removal and exclusion fence installation are complete. After vegetation clearance and exclusion fence installation, activities may continue inside fenced areas without the presence of a biologist unless work is halted for more than 10 days, then a pre -construction survey for CRLF shall be conducted prior to re-initiation of work. All workers shall ensure that food scraps, paper wrappers, food containers, cans, bottles, and other trash from the work area are deposited in covered or closed trash containers. Trash in the containers shall be removed and disposed of off-site daily. Prior to the commencement of operation of wheeled or equipment with tracks in undisturbed areas, vegetation that could conceal CRLF shall be removed by hand under the supervision of a qualified biologist after the Approved Biologist has surveyed the area and determined it to be free A CRLF. If vegetation is too dense to be adequately surveyed (tall grasses, blackberry etc.), the Approved Biologist, at his or her discretion, may request that vegetation is cut to a height of &12 inches (and cut vegetation removed) prior to conducting a survey. If no CRLF are found, the vegetation shall be cut to ground level, and this shall ensure that no CRLF are harmed by cutting tools. Exclusion fence shall be installed around staging areas and Study Areas after vegetation removal is complete. A qualified biologist under direction of the Approved Biologist will oversee the installation of the fence. Once the fence is installed, the periodic inspections by the qualified biologist and construction contractor shall ensure that the fence is maintained effectively for the duration of the project. If exit/entries to the enclosed areas are required, they shall be closed at the end of work each day to ensure exclusion of CRLF overnight. Erosion control structures shall not include plastic or be of types that may entrap wildlife and shall be constructed of tightly woven natural fibers. All construction activities shall cease one half hour before sunset and shall not begin prior to one half hour before sunrise. Additionally, construction activities shall not occur during rain events or within 24 hours of events projected to deliver >0.2 inches of rain or within 24 hours after rain events exceeding 0.2 inches in measureable precipitation, as CRLF are most likely to disperse during periods of precipitation. No work shall occur after 0.5 inches of rain has occurred after November 1 in the year work is occurring. 37 Any open holes or trenches shall be covered or have escape ramps no steeper than 45 degrees installed at the end of each working day to prevent CRLF from becoming entrapped. With the implementation of these measures and those described for special -status fish any impacts to CRLF shall be avoided. Potential Impact BIO -8: Pacc pond turtle Pacific pond turtle is listed as a species of special concern by CDFW. Project activities may temporarily impact individuals of the species during dispersal through upland areas, or if individuals are present during sediment removal or bank modification. Because the species is not listed as threatened or endangered, CDFW will not issue any permits for "take" of this species. However, the Project will occur in areas potentially occupied by Pacific pond turtle therefore, measures and recommendations to avoid impacts to Pacific pond turtle are outlined below. Mitigation Measure BIO -8: Pacific pond turtle Prior to the initiation of Project work in the reservoir or banks of the reservoir, a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey for pond turtles. If a pond turtle is found during surveys, the qualified biologist will relocate it outside of the Study Area, out of harm's way or it shall be allowed to move out of the area under its own power. With the implementation of these measures and those previously described for CRLF (BIO -7) and aquatic habitats (BIO I and 13I0-2) (exclusion fence, work windows etc.), the impacts to Pacific pond turtle will be less than significant. 6.0 REFERENCES Altman, B., and R.

Smith, P.E., WEST Consultants, Inc. This memo summarizes the analysis completed by WEST Consultants, Inc. (WEST) for the City of Petaluma (the City) to evaluate the combined effect of sediment removal in the channel in the vicinity of Corona Road and proposed detention basin at a property adjacent to the Petaluma River in the Denman Reach (south of Industrial Avenue bounded by Benson Road to the north/upstream and the 1129 Industrial Avenue building to the south/downstream). XP -Storm version 2010 (build May 20, 2010) was used in this evaluation. The XP -Storm model that was the basis of the FEMA submittal was modified for this analysis to include the following features: • Preferred landuse representing buildout (year 2025) conditions, consistent with the data utilized for the General Plan 2025 Environmental Impact Report hydraulic evaluation • Deer Creek development in vicinity of Petaluma River node pr_0460, consistent with model edits described in WEST's March 25, 2013 Deer Creek XP -Storm Evaluation • Denman Reach terracing (Corona Road tb node pr_0670), consistent with model edits described in WEST's March 18, 2015 Phase 3 Denman Reach Terracing Hydraulic Evaluation • The effect of dredging removed from lower river reach (model cross sections modified to represent U.S. Army Corps of Engineer bathymetry dated September 2014, which essentially represents the existing "undredged" condition) • Revisions to Mannings n values to reflect current conditions (this will be described further in a future technical memo, along with a graphical comparison to the FEMA floodplain) December 13, 2018 Corona Road Sediment Removal In order to evaluate the effect of clearing sediment in the vicinity of Corona Road, WEST used data provided by the City to update the XP -Storm cross section data for existing and proposed (cleanout) conditions. New nodes were added at the proposed limits of grading at nodes pr_0609 and pr_0605 (see Figure 1). The model cross section data between nodes pr_0609 and pr_0605 were updated for both existing and proposed conditions. Survey data was provided by the City in the file "Future Corona X-Sec.xls" and representative cross sections within the XP -Storm model were selected as City cross sections 4, 3A, 2, and 1C. Cross section data for existing and proposed conditions corresponding to each model reach between node pr_0609 and pr 0605 are illustrated in Figures 2 through 5. The link representing the Corona Road bridge (pr_0607n to pr_0606n) is represented in XP -Storm as a user -defined relationship of depth, area, wetted perimeter, and top width based on the City -provided cross section data.

Previous investigations by WEST have shown that additional widening/terracing of the channel in this reach would likely result in water surface elevation increases downstream. To confirm, WEST edited the Denman Terracing cross section shape at the property location to accommodate a wider terrace based on a preliminary concept provided by the City. Model results confirmed previous findings of water surface elevation increases downstream so this channel widening concept was abandoned.

Previous investigations by WEST have shown that additional widening/terracing of the channel in this reach would likely result in water surface elevation increases downstream. To confirm, WEST edited the Denman Terracing cross section shape at the property location to accommodate a wider terrace based on a preliminary concept provided by the City. Model results confirmed previous findings of water surface elevation increases downstream so this channel widening concept was abandoned. Previous studies have WEST Consultants, Inc. 4 of 8 December 13, 2018 also shown that detention is beneficial in this reach of the Petaluma River, therefore WEST modeled proposed detention on the site. The recommended detention basin concept consists of a weir (such as a berm or a trail) that is high enough to prevent low flows from filling the basin, but not so high that the basin would remain dry when urban flooding occurs. The detention area would only fill when the weir is overtopped, thus capturing peak flows rather than the rising limb of the flow hydrograph. Detained water would flow back to the river through a 30 -inch pipe equipped with a flap gate to allow flow from the basin to the river, but not the other direction. The City recommended two separate detention areas on the property to avoid utility conflicts as illustrated in Figure 6. The north basin (left side in Figure 6) is planned to have a single 30 -inch culvert with flap gate for draining, and the south basin (right side in Figure 6) will drain via two 30 -inch culverts with flap gates. Figure 6. Approximate Detention Basin Layout The 100 -year XP -Storm model for this study including the detention areas was named "PrefLU100yr_DeerDenman_ac: d_CoronaPrUp. det_6-14-18.xp" and the model without detention or Corona Road sediment removal was named "PrefLU100yr_DeerDenman_sed _Corona _4-12-18.xp." In XP -Storm, the two detention areas were named Bensonl and Benson2. The geometry of the detention basins was provided by the City and is summarized in Table 1 and the XP -Storm model elements are illustrated in Figure 7. The lateral weir dimensions are also provided in Table 1. The elevations of the weirs were determined by trial and error to maximize the beneficial impact of the detention concept. Model runs revealed that higher water surface elevation reductions occur with longer weirs, so the weir lengths shown in Table 1 represent the maximum feasible lengths given the site limitations.

Denman Property Detention XP -Storm Model Geometry WEST Consultants, Inc. 6 of 8 December 13, 2018 Results Overall The 25- and 100 -year rainfall events were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the combined projects (Corona Road sediment removal and Denman property detention). Preliminary model runs revealed that the detention project by itself provided a minimal water surface reduction, and the Corona Road sediment removal project by itself provided a larger water surface reduction with the consequence of slightly increased flows downstream. When the two projects were combined, any increases downstream due to the sediment removal project were eliminated for the 100 -year event with a net result of decreased peak flow and water surface elevations. For the 25 -year event there is a slight increase in water surface elevation downstream of Corona Road at the Corona Creek confluence gradually increasing to a maximum increase of 0.1 feet near the constriction weir, and then decreasing again from that point down zero increase near Adobe Creek. The reason for the increase with the 25 -year event and not the 100 -year is due to the lower utilization of the detention basins for the smaller event. However, lowering the weir elevations at the detention basins is not advised because the benefits achieved for the 100 -year event would be reduced. Tabular comparisons of model results with and without the combined project for the 25- and 100 -year events are provided in Tables 2 and 3. The combined project provides reductions in water surface elevation up to about 0.9 feet upstream of Corona Road for the 100 -year event and up to about 0.7 feet for the 25 -year event. The attached flood boundary map exhibit illustrates the reduction due to the combined projects for the 100 -year event. Pier Scour The City requested an analysis to determine whether pier scour would be increased under Corona Road as a result of the combined projects (Corona Road sediment removal and Denman property detention). Local scour at piers is a function of the flow characteristics such as depth and velocity and the obstruction caused by the geometry of the piers. Pier scour is caused by the formation of vortices at the base of the piers (known as horseshoe vortices) and vertical vortices downstream of the piers (wake vortex). Pier width has a direct influence on the depth of scour. Pier length has no appreciable effect as long as the pier is aligned with the flow. WEST calculated pier scour for both existing conditions and the proposed conditions with the combined projects using the HEC -18 (Hydraulic Circular No. 18) pier scour equation which is based on the Colorado State University (CSU) equation. To account for debris accumulation, piers were modeled with a width of 3.33 feet (1 foot of debris on each side of the pier). The HEC -18 equation is: y5/a = 2.0 * Ki * KZ * K3 * (Y1/a)o.ss Fr10.4 3 WEST Consultants, Inc. 7 of 8 December 13, 2018 where: ys =Scour depth, feet yi = Flow depth directly upstream of the pier, feet Ki = Correction factor for pier nose shape (1.0 for Corona Road due to rounded nose) K2 = Correction factor for angle of attack of flow (1.0 for Corona Road due to angle < 15) K3 = Correction factor for bed condition (1.1 for Corona Road for clear -water scour) a = Pier width, feet (3.33 feet for Corona Road accounting for debris) L = Length of pier, feet (N/A for Corona Road for determining angle of attack) Fri = Froude Number directly upstream of the pier = V1/(g * yi)1/2 V1= Mean velocity of flow directly upstream of the pier, feet per second g = Acceleration of gravity (32.2 feet per second squared) Existing conditions pier scour is calculated to be 7.1 feet based on a maximum depth of 18.82 feet upstream of the pier and a maximum velocity of 5.63 feet per second. In comparison, the proposed conditions pier scour is calculated to be 6.0 feet based on a maximum depth of 18.06 feet upstream of the pier and a maximum velocity of 3.87 feet per second.

In tandem with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's (FITC) Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS), Caltrans mission signals a modenuzation of our approach to evaluate and mitigate impacts to the State Transportation Network (STN). Caltrans' Strategic Ablanagernent Plctn 2015-2020 aims to reduce Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) by tripling bicycle and doubling both pedestrian and transit travel by 2020. Our comments are based on the MND. Project UrtderstalxdiYtg The proposed project tivill provide continued flood improvements along the Petaluma River with the fourth phase of the Denman Reach project by providing offline detention basins at Detunan Reach to capture peak flows during storm events, and sediment removal near the Corona Road bridge and in order to return the channel to the cross section designed during bridge installation,. The detention basins at Denman Reach will be divided up into two basins within the parcel that at•e broken up by the existing sewer and water mains that split the parcel, Each basin will have a 4veir opening to allow the peak flows into the basin. The weirs will be installed inline with the existing trail, which will maintain compliance with the guidelines set forth by the American Disabilities Act. An additional 1,000 linear feet of a loop trail around the basins will be constructed. The detention basins will provide nearly 10 acre-feet of storage, Seasonal wetlands will be constructed to mitigate the existing wetlands that are being removed as part of the basin excavation. Roughly 6,150 cubic yards of sediment will be reconstructed at the Corona Road bridge to restore the channel to the section designed during the bridge installation. To accomplish this task, vegetation, as well as several trees within the current channel will be "lbo+�lrle a safe, srrstainnble, integt•ni�d and efj"icle�rr n'<2nsporlalion system !n euhrmce Cnl+farein's ecnnanev and livability" Mr, Tim Moresco, Associate Civil Engineer City of Petaluma October 9, 2018 Page 2 removed.

Dear Mr. Beatty: San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board) staff appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on the Initial Study (IS) for the Petaluma River Flood Management Denman Reach Phase 4 Project (Project) by the City of Petaluma Department of Public Work and Utilities (the City) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City posted the IS for public review on August 23, 2018. Based on our review, we support the determination that a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) will be prepared; Accordingly, as a Responsible Agency under CEQA, we offer the following comments to guide the City in preparing the Project's MND, 1. Project Description and Technical Basis. The Project as described in the IS does not provide a level of clarity needed to appropriately analyze the impacts versus benefits. Please address the following: a. The benefits to flooding are unclear based on the 100 -year flood boundary figures provided in the memo provided by WEST Consultants, lnc. (Technical Memo). How much infrastructure and buildings would be protected in the 100 - year storm due to the implementation of this Project? Please provide a figure depicting the increase in flooding that will result from the Project during the 25- yearstorm. b. The technical basis for the sediment excavation parameters and cross-sections proposed for the mainstem of the Petaluma River is unclear. Please provide a basis for the assertion that the Project will be restoring the channel to previously DR. TERR'i F. YOUNG, CHAIR � BFIUCE H, VVOLFE, EXECUTIVE OFFICER 1515 Clay St., Suite 1400, Oakland.

In many cases, excavating a wider and more uniform channel promotes increase sediment deposition until the channel has equilibrated. We recommend analyzing geomorphic dredging methods that include excavating a low flow channel, leaving low floodplain benches, and mimic natural conditions of channel equilibrium to the maximum extent possible for a more sustainable Project. Furthermore, the purpose and benefits of the sediment removal portion of the Project are unclear. Does the sediment aggregation at this site cause increased flooding impacts, and if yes, what is the root cause of sediment aggregation and does the proposed Project address it? If not, will sediment removal maintenance be required in the future to sustain the Project's flood benefits? The Technical Memo states that.i:he channel excavation will result in lower water surface elevations upstream, but an increase downstream. What is the comparison of flooding impacts to infrastructure and buildings upstream versus downstream for both the 25 -year and 100 -year storm? Is the purpose of sediment removal to relieve flooding pressure on the more urbanized upstream watershed? 2. Impacts to Federal and State Jurisdictional Wetlands and Other Waters. The IS acknowledges that a CWA Section 401 water quality certification (401 Certification) and a CWA Section 404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be necessary as the Project impacts waters of the U.S. To ensure the impacts to waters of the US and waters of the State have be correctly identified and analyzed, the appropriate agencies (RWQCB and Corps) should verify the wetland and other jurisdictional water features at the study area. The impacts analyzed generally relate to one-time construction impacts but do not address potential operational impacts of the detention basins, such as sediment removal after large storm events and erosion impacts at the basin outlets. Impacts related to erosion control and site grading include placement of riprap as a proper mitigation effort. The installation of rock within jurisdictional features is considered a fill impact that has not been analyzed. The impacts associated with sediment removal are also unclear. Based on the memo provided by WEST Consultants, Inc. (Technical Memo), it appears that large portions of the existing banks and riparian habitat will be excavated out for a wider more uniform channel cross section. This appears to be a permanent loss of riparian habitat and could also result in more frequent sediment removal maintenance impacts to the reach as widened channels generally promote increased sediment fall out and aggregation. However, this potential impact was not included in the IS analysis. The Water Board requires impacts to be avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable before accepting compensatory mitigation, such as the options described in Mitigation Measure BIO -1 and BIO -2. We recommend including an analysis of long-term basin operation impacts and main channel sediment removal impacts, to provide a basis for the development of project alternatives (see #3 .. �,.

Alternatives. For the Water Board to permit the proposed Project pursuant to CWA, Section 401, we require a project proponent to conduct an alternatives analysis consistent with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 404(b)(1) Guidelines. The Water Quality Control Plan for the Basin Plan incorporates the 404(b)(1) Guidelines by reference to determine the circumstances under which filling of wetlands, streams or other waters of the U.S. and/or the State may be permitted. In accordance with the Basin Plan, filling, dredging, excavating and discharging into a wetland or water of the state is prohibited unless the project meets the least environmentally damaging practicable alternative (LEDPA) standard as determined through the 404(b)(1) alternatives analysis. Although the LEDPA analysis is not required by CEQA, a project proponent may tailor the IS to fulfill both the CEQA and 404(b)(1) requirements to help expedite the Water Board's issuance of a 401 Certification and/or waste discharge requirements under Porter -Cologne. Accordingly, we recommend the City prepare and analyze alternatives in the IS that would meet the LEDPA standard to help expedite future Water Board actions, and avoid the potential need for a IS supplement or amendment. The Guidelines sequence the order in which proposals should be approached: 1) Avoid -avoid impacts to waters; 2) Minimize -modify project to minimize impacts to waters; and, 3) Compensate —once impacts have been fully minimized., compensate for unavoidable impacts to waters. When rt is not possible to avoid impacts to water bodies, disturbance should be minimized. Compensatory mitigation for lost water body acreage and functions through enhancement, restoration, and/or creation should only be considered after disturbance has been minimized. Where impacts cannot be avoided, the enhancement, restoration, and/or creation of adequate mitigation habitat to compensate for the loss of water body acreage, functions and values must be provided pursuant to the California Wetland Conservation Policy (also known as the "no net loss" policy; Executive Order W-59-93). The following are some of the items that the Water Board may require analyzed. within the Alternatives Analysis: A. No Action Alternative: The Project as proposed does not show a very clear and significant benefit to flooding in the area. An analysis of the flooding benefits compared to the overall project impacts to waters of the State is required to determine if the Project is practicable. B. Floodplain Bench Widening Alternative: The IS states that a widened floodplain bench alternative, instead of the two disconnected detention basins, was analyzed and then abandoned due to the resulted increase in flood elevation downstream shown through the modeling. To compare the impacts vs magnitude of benefits of this alternative and the chosen alternative, a review of the model Mr. Jason Beatty - 4 - September 26, 2018 �� Denman Reach Phase 4 Initial Study and comparison of the output results for the 25- and 100 -year flood elevations would be required. C. Bridge Replacement Alternative: The Technical Memo states that the majority of the water surface reduction would result from the Corona Road sediment removal portion of the Project. Based on the preliminary review of provided photos and material, it appears that the bridge piers across the channel could be resulting in a variety of impacts that cause sediment accumulation along this reach. Replacement with a full spanning bridge and removal of the instream piers may result in the same or better flood benefits while also providing a net benefit to habitat in the Petaluma River. Therefore, this alternative should be included in the analysis for the LEDPA D. Wetland Detention Basin Alternative: To minimize and/or potentially eliminated compensatory mitigation, a wetland forming detention basin design should be analyzed for the Project. The soil, groundwater, and hydrologic characteristics of the site should be evaluated to determine if the site could sustainably provide wetland habitat. The detention basin should be evaluated to determine a design that will result in the least amount of maintenance requirements, such as sediment excavation after large storm events. With wetland vegetation plantings and a monitoring plan to verify wetland establishment success, this could be counted as mitigation for impacts existing seasonal wetlands. E. Alternative Detention Locations: To ensure the Project provides the maximum amount of flood risk reduction and habitat benefits within the watershed, an analysis of alternate locations where detention or floodplain bench widening could occur should be performed. If there are other locations that would result in amore significant flood reduction than the current basin location (individually or in some combination), they should be included in the analysis for the. LEDPA. For example, to the west of the western study area where 30 percent plans propose wetland restoration for compensatory mitigation, an evaluation of widening the floodplain. bench at that location to detain higher frequency storm event flows and mitigate the increases in flood elevation at the 25 -year storm should be considered. F. Fill Impacts: The Water Board shall require an analysis of the areas of permanent impacts associated with soil and/or rock instal►ation, and riparian tree removal, for opportunities of avoidance and minimization of impact to waters of the State. We will require more habitat friendly biotechnical solutions to be evaluated where appropriate with the integration of native riparian plants and trees. 4. Mitigation Measures. This letter outlined additional impacts that the Water Board believes should be analyzed in the IS in comment 2. We recommend evaluating the following mitigation measures to be included in the Mitigated Negative Declaration to avoid and minimize impacts to less than significant levels. Mr. Jason Beatty - 5 - September 26, 2018 Denman Reach Phase 4 Initial Study a. Mitigation for Operational Impacts: The development of the detention basin design will include an evaluation of alternative layouts and design components to determine the most sustainable design that results in the least amount of maintenance post -project after design storm events. Please note that a wetland detention basin design could minimize maintenance requirements. b. Mitigation for Fill Impacts: Any soil and rock fill proposed to be installed within Water Board jurisdiction will include an evaluation of biotechnical methods and habitat enhancement features to be incorporated in order to avoid and minimize impacts of hardened structures. All rock must be demonstrated to be necessary and appropriately sized through a hydraulic analysis performed by a qualified professional. If biotechnical methods and habitat enhancement features are demonstrated to be infeasible, mitigation will be required at a 1.5:1 ratio at a minimum. c. Mitigation for Sediment Removal: Impacts on the Petaluma River sediment transport processes, and hydraulics resulting from sediment removal along this reach will be avoided and minimized to the maximum extend through the use of geomorphic dredging methods to mimic natural conditions of channel equilibrium to the maximum extent possible for a more sustainable Project and minimize future sediment removal maintenance. d. Mitigation for Temporary Disturbance Impacts: Temporary impacts on the Petaluma River and seasonal wetlands within the Study Area will be avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable. Any areas with unavoidable temporary impacts will be mitigated at a 1.5:1 -ratio at a minimum, with the 1:1 relating to on-site restoration and 0.5 of additional mitigation to compensate for temporal losses. We welcome the opportunity to provide additional comments on a draft MND when it is available for review.

Jason; Janice Thompson; Johannes Hoevertsz Subject: RE: Denman Reach Phase 4 Initial Study ---Warning: Use caution before clicking any attachments. THIS EMAIL IS FROM OUTSIDE OUR EMAIL Tim, appears Thanks again for reaching out to me. I've taken a look at the information provided. I've had to skim quite a bit, and It appears that that majority of the information is pertaining to the environmental impacts of the project. It appears the section that addresses the bridge and channel is near the end, starting on PDF page 129, with the memo issued by West Consulting. The changes underneath the bridge are described by Figure 4 of the memo. Please let me know if I've missed any pertinent details or if my understanding is incorrect. It does appear to me that this project could impact the structural integrity of the Corona Ave Bridge over Petaluma River (Bridge No. 200O299). Whether the impact would be negative or positive is not obvious. The primary concern is whether or not that changes would increase the scour potential at the piers and abutments of the bridge. Your hydraulic engineer should be able to comment on whether the scour potential would be negatively impacted. I would like to see the response from your hydraulic engineer. Additionally, the bridge has already experienced some has been scour beneath one of the abutments. Establishing the channel section effectively underneath the bridge could be difficult, as It won't be possible to compact the soil underneath the abutment where it has scoured. In this case a concrete backfill mix is generally employed (similar to what is done for large underground pipes). I think the City might be required to seek a permit from Permit Sonoma, but I am not certain. I will discuss it up the chain and get back to you. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks, RESPONSE TO COMMENTS ON DENMAN REACH PFIASE 4 PUBLIC DRAFT IS/1VIND This document provides a response to comments received on the Public Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) that was prepared for the Denman Reach Phase 4 Project. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970 (as amended) (California Public Resources Code 21000 et. seq.), the Public Draft IS/1VII�ID was circulated fora 30 -day public review and comment period from August 27, 2018 to September 26, 2018. Notice of availability and notice of intent to adopt the IS/1VIlVD was mailed to property owners within 500 feet of the project site, published in the Argus Courier, posted to the City of Petaluma's (City) Website, and submitted to the State Clearinghouse for distribution to State Agencies.

Sonoma County Department of Public Works and Transportation Local Individuals 1. John Aguiar (orally via phone call) SUMMARY OF COMMENTS AND RESPONSES California State Clearin hg ouse The letter acknowledges that the City of Petaluma complied with the State Clearinghouse review requirements for review of draft environmental documents. The State Clearinghouse also Attachment IV - 1 Response to Comments. On Denman Reach Phase 4 Public Draft IS/MND forwarded a copy of the comment letter from the California Department of Transportation and San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board. No response is necessary. California Department of Transportation Caltrans) The letter acknowledged project understanding and requested that within the Hydrology and Water Quality section of the MND Checklist, sections d (alter drainage pattern or increase runoff) and e (create or contribute runoff which would exceed the capacity of drainage systems) be addressed in more detail. These sections have been addressed with the following addition to the Discussion section of the Hydrology and Water Quality section: "The removal of the understory vegetation and grading efforts to be done within the river channel around Corona Bridge could cause a temporary increase in runoffpotential during construction, and an increase in flow levels downstream during a 25 year storm event. During construction, there will be an increase in runoffpotential along the river banks due to the removal of the understory vegetation, however, this will only be temporary until the new vegetation gets established, which the City will install as part of the project. During a 100 year event the model shows the project will result in a reduction in water surface elevation upstream and downstream of the bridge. For the 25 year event the model shows a slight increase in water surface elevation downstream of Corona Road at the Corona Creek confluence gradually increasing to a maximum increase of 0.09 feet near the constriction weir, and then decreasing again from that point down zero increase near Adobe Creek. There are no structures in the 100 year flood plain near the constriction weir and, thus, no structures would be affected by this 0. 09feet rise in a 25 year event in this area. Other features that will either not impact drainage patterns or will have minimal effect are features such as the detention basins spillways, due to the location at being near the top of the bank, along with the loop trail around the basins. The riprap to be installed along the abutments of the Corona Road Bridge will have minimal impact to the drainage patterns and should not increase runoff, especially considering the bridge will provide cover to prevent runoff from occurring. The goal of this project is to decrease the water surface elevation and flood plain area for the 100 year event by detaining water peak flows within the detention basins, reducing flow constraints, and scour of abutments at the Corona Road bridge. " San. Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board) The letter listed how the project described in the Initial Study does not provide a level of clarity needed to appropriately analyze the impacts versus benefits, To provide clarity, the Water Board asked the City to describe, in more detail, the benefits this project will provide to the 100 -year flood map, in terms of infrastructure and buildings. By referring to sheet 1 of 3 in WEST Consultant Inc.'s memo, the green hatch represents the areas of 100 -year flooding that will be removed due to this project. From this diagram, several nearby parcels will see a significant Attachment IV - 2 Response to Comments On Denman Reach Phase 4 Public Draft ISlMND amount of flood plain reduction, although none are completely taken out of the 100 -year flood zone. The note also asks the City to provide a figure depicting the increase in flooding that will result from the project during a 25 -year storm. Based on the model results shown in Table 2 of the Memo provided by WEST Consultants, Inc., the largest downstream increase from this project during a 25 -year storm is 0.09 feet, which equates to 1.08 inches near the constriction weir. A graphic depiction of this minor impact wouldn't be relevant as it is within the margin of error introduced. in the mapping process. Additionally, there are no structures in the 100 -year flood plain in this area, thus there would be no affected structures by a slight increase in the 25 -year event. The Water Board also requested that the City provide a technical basis for the sediment excavation and new cross sections, as well as, describe, in further detail, the purpose and benefits of the sediment removal. The basis for this work is to reduce flow restriction and scour of the abutments at the Corona Road Bridge. The City has designed the new channel cross section to mimic the original cross section that was created at the bridge's installation, which can be seen in Attachment V. Based on review of project plans and documents of the original Corona Road Bridge design, the river alignment upstream of the bridge was a wide, straight channel. In the existing conditions, the river channel is aligned in such a way that high flows are directed to the northern abutment of Corona Road Bridge. This which has most likely been caused by bank erosion over time that was a catalyst of the buildup of sediment and vegetation. This project proposes to create a straighter, wider, and more uniform channel for higher flows and a narrower low flow channel at the Corona Road Bridge returning river channel to its original cross section design so that it is less likely for sediment and vegetation debris to accumulate and cause a reduction in the flood conveyance capacity. To prevent future bank erosion, proper bank stabilization will be installed as part of the project in the form of proper compaction and revegetation. Certain geomorphic dredging methods, such as excavating a low flow channel with low floodplain benches, have also been considered into the design of the channel cross section to address the warmer months when the river flows are considerably less. With this future sediment removal activities are expected to be avoided. Based on the model, the Project will decrease flood levels up to 0.71 feet (8.5 inches) for the 25 - year storm and 0.9 feet (�11 inches) for the 100 -year storm around the Corona Road Bridge and Industrial Avenue Business Park, with only minimal negative downstream impacts (1.08 inches) during the 25 -year storm event and no negative downstream effects during a 100 -year storm event. The Water Board stated that the impacts, such as installation of rock within jurisdictional features, are considered fill impacts and were not analyzed in the Initial Study, as well as, the permanent loss of riparian habitat from the removal of large portions of the existing banks. The mitigation measure "GE04" has been added to the Geology and Soils section of the CEQA Checklist to address the impacts from the installation of rocks or soils within jurisdictional features. Mitigation Att achment N - 3 Response to Comriients On Denman Reach Phase 4 Public Draft IS%MND Measure, 11I04: Impacts to waters of the United States, and Waters of the State, also addresses filling of any jurisdictional feature. The impacts to the riparian vegetation were addressed in the Mitigation Measure, 13I0-2: Impacts to Riparian Vegetation. Due to the Water Board stating that they require impacts to be avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable before accepting compensatory mitigation, an Alternatives Analysis was added to the CEQA Environmental Checklist after the Project Description to demonstrate that the City has taken the proper steps to avoid and minimize the impacts to the biological habitat. The Water Board listed several alternatives that they may require to be analyzed within the Alternative Analysis. As mentioned above, the Alternatives Analysis has been added to the CEQA Environmental Checklist after the Project Description. The Water Board recommended to the City to evaluate the following mitigation measures to be included into the Mitigated Negative Declaration. Mitigation for Operational Impacts in reference to the post -project maintenance of the detention basins. Prior to deciding on the current design layout of the detention basins, the City analyzed different project options and potential alternate locations to determine the most sustainable design. These alternate options have been inserted into the Alternative Analysis section (page 3 of the IS/MND). Typical maintenance of the basins will include semi-annual site mowing to maintain the proper functionality of the basins, and possibly sediment removal after large flood events. Due to limited amount of funding for Parks Maintenance, the City feels that it will be difficult to maintain the wetland detention basin design, as it would require extra care to monitor that both the wetland and detention basin are both functioning as they should. Mitigation for Fill Impacts has been addressed by adding Mitigation Measure GEO-4 to thLO Geology and Soils section of the CEQA Environmental Checklist (page 15 of the IS/MND), and it reads as follows: GEO-4: Any soil or rock fill to be installed within Water Board jurisdiction will include an evaluation of biotechnical methods and habitat enhancement features to be incorporated in order to avoid and minimize impacts of hardened structures. All rock must be demonstrated to be necessary and appropriately sized through a hydraulic analysis performed by a qualified professional. If biotechnical methods and habitat enhancement features are demonstrated to be infeasible, mitigation will be required at a 1.5:1 ratio at a minimum. Mitigation for Sediment Removal have been identified in the Geology and Soils section of the CEQA Environmental Checklist. The City has designed the channel section so that it returns the channel to its original design capacity when the Corona Road Bridge was Att achment IV - 4 Response to Comments On Denman Reach Phase 4 Public Draft IS/MND constructed with some geomorphic dredging methods, such as excavating a low flow channel and leaving low floodplain benches, being implemented into the design in order to minimize future sediment buildup. As the Geology and Soils section discusses, the channel banks will be installed in a stable condition and will not exceed 2 to 1 slopes. This project will create a straighter, wider, and more uniform channel for high flows and a low flow channel so that it will be less likely for the sediment and vegetation debris to accumulate. Mitigation for Temporary Disturbance Impacts have been discussed in Mitigation Measures BIO -1, "Impacts to Waters of the United States, and Waters of the State" and BIO -2, "Impacts to Riparian Vegetation." Sonoma Count Department of Public Works and Transportation The email details some concerns over the impacts that the project will have on the structural integrity of the Corona Road Bridge over Petaluma River (Bridge No. 200O299) and whether or not the changes would increase the scour potential at the piers and abutments of the bridge. WEST Consultant Inc. performed scour calculations and described them in their revised analysis. The analysis found that under current conditions, pier scour is calculated to be 7.1 feet and under the proposed conditions, the pier scour would be reduced to 6.0 feet. The email also expresses concern regarding the preexisting scour at the abutments. To reduce the risk of future scouring from occurring, riprap is planned to be installed along and around the bridge abutments and will follow the mitigation measure GEO-4 of the Geology and Soils Section. Mr. John Aguiar (Phone Calf Mr. Aguiar inquired about the location of the detention basins, in which the City detailed the location of APN 007-412-033. He also asked what the City plans to do with the soil removed. As the IS mentions, the soil will be off -hauled to an acceptable site. Mr. Aguiar also expressed concern that the sediment removal under the bridge will increase the flood levels in the Downtown/Payran Area. The City has modeled the proposed project with the sediment removed and has found that the water surface elevations are reduced through the Downtown/Payran Area during the 100 -year event. Modeling showed for the 25 -year event slight increase in water surface elevation downstream of Corona Road at the Corona Creek confluence gradually increasing to a maximum increase of 0.09 feet near the constriction weir, and then decreasing again from that point down zero increase near Adobe Creek. Any new additions to the IS/MND, as they have been discussed above, will be indicated in underline in the Initial Study Document. Attachment IV - 5 Response to Comments On Denman Reach Phase 4 Public Draft IS/MND CONCLUSION AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION After carefully reviewing the comments on the Initial Study and proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, the City of Petaluma believes that the environmental document has sufficiently addressed the potential environmental impacts of the proposed Project and does not meet any of the conditions under CEQA Section 15073.5. Therefore, the recirculation of a revised IS/MND or the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is not required. Consistent with the CEQA Guidelines, the added information clarifies the information and analyses in the IS/MND. The City of Petaluma will consider the updates to the Manual and IS/NII�1D, together with this Response to Comments document, prior to adopting the IS/MND.
