CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
ITEM NO. 13
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Public Works Department
SUBJECT: MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR DAHLIA/FERNLEAF
SLOPE REPAIR — CONTRACT NO. 3157
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration for Dahlia /Fernleaf Slope Repair.
DISCUSSION:
The City's Capital Improvement Program includes the Dahlia /Fernleaf Slope Repair
Project. The project consists of the following (see attached drawing):
• Grade and flatten the existing slope above Fernleaf Avenue from Bayside Drive to
the top of the Femleaf Ramp.
• Replace the existing deteriorated wooden slough wall at the bottom of the slope
along Femleaf Avenue with a 2 -foot high reinforced concrete debris wall.
• Construct a variable height concrete caisson wall at the top of the slope, along the
public right -of -way line from Bayside Drive to the top of the Fernleaf Ramp.
• Install an 18 -inch storm drain at the end of Dahlia Place (private alley) and an 18-
inch storm drain at the end of the first alley (private) north of Fernleaf Avenue to
collect and convey storm water from the top of the slope and under the graded slope
for discharge into the storm drain system in Bayside Drive.
• Install light and deep- rooted ground cover over the graded slope for erosion control.
A Draft Initial Study (D.I.S.) for this project was prepared pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act, and was filed with the Governor's Office of Planning and
Research, a State Clearinghouse, for review by various State agencies. The review
period started on July 1, 1999 and concluded on July 30, 1999. Some of the State
agencies that reviewed the D.I.S. included the California Coastal Commission, the
Department of Conservation, the Department of Fish and Game, the Department of
Parks and Recreation, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, the Resources
Agency, and the State Lands Commission.
The D.I.S. determined that if the proposed conditions and mitigation measures are
incorporated as a part of the work, the project will not have a significant effect on the
environment. Staff has determined that the D.I.S. suggested mitigation measures can
be implemented.

Dahlia Avenue Street End Slope Repair at Fernleaf Ramp
Project Description
The project involves slope repair along the southwesterly side of Fernleaf Avenue
ramp in Corona Del Mar. The project includes; 1) removing the failed portions of
the slope, 2) flattening the slope gradient, 3) providing a caisson wall installed at the
top of the slope with an exposed wall surface ranging from 3' in height to 17' in
height, 4) installing a debris wall at the toe of the slope adjacent to the Fernleaf
ramp, 5) providing for local drainage, and 6) installing slope planting.
The existing slope area has experienced surficial slippage during heavy rainfalls.
Certain portions of the slope have been covered with an erosion control plastic cover
to limit further surficial slope failure. The area of slope repair is approximately 325
feet in length. The slope ranges in height from 0 to 35 feet above the existing
Fernleaf Avenue roadway. Surrounding land uses include existing residential and
streets. The project site is located within the coastal zone boundary and will require
approval of a Coastal Development Permit.
ANALYSIS
The following discussion provides explanations for the conclusions contained in the
Environmental Analysis Checklist regarding the proposed project's environmental
Impacts.
I. Aesthetics
The project site (slope area) is located near a built -out urbanized area of the City.
Surrounding properties are fully developed and include residential uses. The
existing slope area has experienced surficial slippage during heavy rainfalls. The
slope has been covered with an erosion control plastic cover to limit further
damage. The area of slope repair is approximately 325 feet in length. The slope
ranges in height from 0 to 35 feet above the existing Fernleaf Avenue roadway.
The slope repair includes flattening the existing slope to decrease the steep
gradient. The flattened slope area will blend to existing slope gradients at north
and south property lines. The project also includes providing a caisson wall
installed at the top of the slope with an exposed wall surface ranging from 3' to
17' in height. A debris wall at the toe of the slope will be installed. The project
will also provide local drainage and installation of slope planting. A mitigation
measure is presented to ensure that the new caisson wall and debris wall are
designed to be compatible as much as possible with the existing surroundings.
The slope repair will include installing slope planting. Although no existing
vegetation will be impacted, a mitigation measure is included requiring a
landscape plan for the slope planting.
The slope repair activities and walls (caisson & debris walls) to be installed will
be visible from many locations within and around the project site. The immediate
vicinity of the project site includes a number of existing residences and roadways.
The aesthetic treatment of the new slope area will be included in the project. In
addition, with the incorporation of the project's design, landscaping and other
aesthetic features of the slope repair, as well as the application of City standard
conditions of approval and/or mitigation measures, any impacts will be reduced to
an insignificant level.
Mitigation Measure No. 1 Prior to commencement ofslope repair activities, the project
shall include a design plan for the caisson wall and debris wall, which
incorporates features such as finish and landscaping which blends with and
complement the immediate surroundings.
Mitigation Measure No. 2 Prior to commencement of slope repair activities, a
landscape plan shall be prepared, which provides for slope plantings in
compliance with the recommendations presented in the geotechnical report dated
November 17, 1998 prepared by Bagahi Engineering. '
H. Agriculture Resources
The project site (slope area) is located near a built -out urbanized area of the City.
Surrounding properties are fully developed and include residential uses. The
project site is not utilized nor zoned for agriculture type uses. Therefore, the
project does not result in any impacts to agriculture resources.
III. Air Quality
The project site is located in the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB). The South Coast
Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) sets and enforces regulations for
stationary sources in the basin. The California Air Resources Board (CARE) is
responsible for controlling motor vehicle emissions. The SCAQMD in
coordination with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)
has developed the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) for the air basin. The
AQMP goals include the implementation of technological and innovative changes
that provide for achieving clean air goals while maintaining a healthy economy.
The AQMP also addresses state and federal planning requirements and programs.
CHECKLIST EXPLANATIONS
Page 2
Potential air quality impacts to surrounding residences from project construction
activities will be minimized through mitigation measures, including short-term
impacts to air quality from air pollutants being emitted by construction equipment
and dust generated during grading. The small amount of project - related emissions
will have no impact on regional particulate levels. Where slope repair operations
are near existing residences, the dust generated by such activities is a local
nuisance as opposed to an actual health hazard. However, dust will be minimized
as a result of site watering required by City and SCAQMD regulations.
With the implementation of the recommended mitigation measures, it is
anticipated that the project will not result in any significant impacts to air quality.
Mitigation Measure No. 3 During slope repair activities, the following measures shall be
implemented to reduce short -term (construction) air quality impacts associated with
the project: a) controlling fugitive dust by regular watering, or other dust palliative
measures to meet South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule
403 (Fugitive Dust); b) maintaining equipment engines in proper tune; and c)
phasing and scheduling construction activities to minimize project- related
emissions.
Mitigation Measure No. 4 During construction activities, the project will comply with
SCAQMD Rule 402 (Nuisance), to reduce nuisance due to odors from construction
activities.
IV. Biological Resources
The site is a slope area located in an urbanized area of the City. No rare,
endangered, or threatened plant or animal species have been previously reported, or
are expected to inhabit the project site. The project will not affect any natural
vegetation.
V. Cultural Resources
The project involves slope repair. There will be limited soil excavation in relation
to flattening the gradient of the slope. Since the project primarily involves
backfill and soil retention of a slope surface previously damaged by heavy rains,
no impacts to cultural resources or historic structure are anticipated as a result of
the project.

VI. Geology & Soils
Bagahi Engineering conducted a geotechnical investigation of the slope. The
geotechnical report (dated November 17, 1998) addressed the geotechnical
conditions of the slope instability and recommendations regarding the design and
construction of slope measures to improve the stability of the existing slope and to
mitigate against possible future surficial failures. The geotechnical investigation
included subsurface exploration, collection of soil samples and laboratory testing,
stability analysis of the slope, and soils engineering analysis of field and laboratory
data.
The existing slope gradient varies from a flat slope to a steep slope approaching a
45- degree angle. The site is not located in an area of unique geologic or physical
features. There are no evidence of faults on the site. The closest known active or
potentially active fault is the Newport- Inglewood fault. The slope area is located
within one mile of the Newport- Inglewood fault. The Whittier- Elsinore Fault is
located about 23 miles northeast of the site.
The slope at the subject site is mainly in Monterey siltstone bedrock with a cover of
sandy soils near the surface. The geotechnical report identified that slope erosion
and surficial instability can be mitigated by flattening the slope and incorporating
slope corrective measures including installation of a caisson wall along the top of
the slope and a debris wall at the toe of the slope.
The property was originally graded in conjunction with the development of the
existing residential uses and adjacent roadways. The slope repair will include
some excavation of earth material in order to flatten the slope gradient. It is
anticipated that the project will require an estimated 1,800 cubic yards of export
earthwork. The excess earthwork will be exported to a Southern California site
acceptable to the permit agencies. It is anticipated that a total of 130 truckloads
(14 c.y. per double trailer rig truckloads) will be necessary to export the
earthwork.
During past seasonal storms the Fernleaf ramp has been closed to the public due to
surficial slope failures and the potential ',hazard to motorists of such slope failures.
The Fernleaf ramp will be temporarily closed to the public during the slope repair
associated with the project. A mitigation measure is presented in this section
requiring a traffic control plan.
Potential impacts to surrounding properties from erosion of the exposed soils
• during slope repair construction operations will be minimized through conditions
of approval and/or mitigation measures. Dust generated by slope repair activities

is considered a short -term impact on air quality and is further discussed in the Air
Quality section of this document.
Soil contamination is discussed under Hazards (Section IX). Compliance with the
City Excavation and Grading Code (NBMC Sec.15.10.140) will reduce any
potential impacts to an insignificant level. No cumulative impacts associated with
geological conditions are anticipated as a result of the slope repair.
Mitigation Measure No. 5 During construction activities, the project will comply with
the erosion and siltation control measures of the City's grading ordinance and all
applicable local and State building codes and seismic design guidelines, including
the City Excavation and Grading Code MMC Section 15.10).
Mitigation Measure No. 6 Prior to the start of slope repair activities, a construction
traffic control plan shall be prepared which includes the haul route, truck hauling
operations, construction traffic flagmen, and construction warning /directional
signage.
VII. Hazards and Hazardous Materials
The proposed project area (slope) is located in a residential area of the City.
During past seasonal storms the Femleaf ramp has been closed to the public due
to surficial slope failures and the potential hazard to motorists of such slope
failures. The Femleaf ramp will be temporarily closed to the public during the
slope repair associated with the project. Vehicular traffic will be directed to
Marguerite Avenue. A mitigation measure requiring a traffic control plan is
presented in the Geology and Soils section of this document. The project will not
utilize hazardous materials on the site; therefore, no adverse effect on human
health or risk of upset is anticipated.
VIII. Hydrology & Water Quality
The proposed site consists of a slope area located along the southwesterly side of
Femleaf Avenue Ramp in Corona Del Mar. The existing slope area has
experienced surficial slippage during heavy rainfalls. One area of slope erosion is
located directly below an area where surface runoff from an alley discharges into
the slope. The proposed slope repair will provide for local drainage. The
drainage improvements will include a back -drain behind the debris wall and a
diversion Swale (concrete v- ditch) provided at the top of the slope behind the
caisson wall to collect surface runoff and divert it from the slope face. The slope
has been covered with an erosion control plastic cover to limit further surficial
CHECKLIST EXPLANATIONS

failure. The project is located outside of all flood hazard areas; therefore, no
significant impacts are anticipated. Subject to the incorporation of City standard
conditions of approval and /or mitigation measures, no cumulative impacts
associated with hydrologic conditions are anticipated as a result of the slope
repair. Provisions for drainage requirements are contained in the City Excavation
and Grading Code. Compliance with said Code would reduce any potential
impacts to an insignificant level.
Mitieation Measure No. 7 The project shall conform to the requirements of the
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and shall be subject to
the approval of the Public Works Department to determine compliance.
IX. Land Use and Planning
The project site is located near Dahlia Avenue at the Femleaf Ramp in Corona
Del Mar and consists of a slope area. Portions of the slope area have been
covered with an erosion control plastic cover.
The City's General Plan Land Use Plan designation for the site area is Residential.
The City's Zoning Code designation for the site is MFR Multiple Family
Residential. This project is located within the Coastal Zone Boundary and
therefore a Coastal Development Permit is required. The proposed project will
consist of the construction of a caisson wall at the top of the existing slope and a
debris wall at the toe of the slope. There are existing residences located near the
top of the slope, including a two -story apartment building. The toe of the slope is
near Bayside Drive and Femleaf Avenue.
The project has the potential to result in impacts related to construction activities
(e.g., dust, noise, and traffic). Additionally, existing residences north of the
project and vehicular and pedestrian traffic will be exposed to views of the slope
repair. Through anticipated conditions of approval and mitigation measures,
potential impacts to surrounding and adjacent properties from the proposed slope
repair will be eliminated or minimized.
Potential impacts, which will be minimized through mitigation measures, include
short-term impacts to traffic circulation (temporary traffic detours and road
closure), and an increase in noise due to construction activities. These potential
impacts are discussed with recommended mitigation measures in the following
preceding sections of this document.
CHECKLIST EXPLANATIONS
Page 6
X. Mineral Resources
9
The project area is fully developed. The project consists of slope repair to
property, which has experienced surficial slippage as a result of heavy rains. The
use of natural resources will not be significantly affected by this project. No
significant increase in the use of energy or natural resources is anticipated.
Xl. Noise
Construction noise represents a short-term impact on ambient noise levels. Noise
generated by construction equipment, including trucks, graders, bulldozers,
concrete mixers and portable generators can reach high noise levels. However,
intervening structures and/or topography will act as noise barriers to reduce levels.
Noise levels will be further mitigated by limiting the hours of construction
through provisions contained in the City Noise Control Regulations (NBMC
Chapter 10.28).
Mitigation Measure No. 8 The project will comply with the provisions of the City of
Newport Beach General Plan Noise Element and the Municipal Code pertaining
to noise restrictions. During construction activities, the hours of construction and
excavation work are allowed from 7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on weekdays, 8:00 a.m.
to 6: 00 p.m. on Saturdays, and not at any time on Sundays and holidays.
XII. Population and Housing
The proposed project consists of slope repair and as such will not have any impact
on population and housing. Additionally, the project site is located in an area that
is already built -out.
XHL Public Services
The project site is developed and has been for more than 25 years. Surrounding
properties are also fully developed. There are sufficient public or governmental
services that serve the area and the project would not create additional demand for
these services. The Fernleaf Avenue ramp will be temporarily closed to traffic
during slope repair activities. Vehicular traffic will directed to Marguerite
Avenue. A mitigation measure requiring a traffic control plan has been presented
in the Geology & Soils section of this document.
CHECKLIST EXPLANATIONS
Page 7
XIV. Recreation
Due to the nature of the project, slope repair, the project will not result in any
impacts to recreational activities and opportunities. There will be no impact upon
access to coastal beaches as a result of the project.
XV. Transportation/Traffic
The proposed site consists of a slope area located along the southwesterly side of
Fernleaf Avenue Ramp in Corona Del Mar. During the slope repair activities
short-term impacts to traffic /circulation will result. The Femleaf Avenue ramp
will be temporarily closed to traffic during slope repair activities. Vehicular
traffic will directed to Marguerite Avenue. A mitigation measure requiring a
traffic control plan has been presented in the Geology & Soils section of this
document. Additionally, the slope repair will include flattening the gradient of the
existing steep slope and excess earth material will be transported by trucks to a
location within, Southern California. A discussion regarding the exportation of
excavated soils is presented in Section VI of this document (Geology & Soils). A
mitigation measure is also presented in the Geology & Soils Section of this
document to reduce any potential impacts associated with the exportation of soil
and temporary traffic impacts to a level of less than significant. Additional
vehicular movement long -term) will not be generated as a result of the proposed
slope project. However, short-term construction activity will generate a slight
increase in the number of trips per day to the project site as a result of
construction related vehicle trips. The slight increase in vehicle trips is not
considered a significant impact.
XVI. Utilities and Service Systems
Utilities and service systems are already servicing the project area. An where
drainage improvements are proposed is located directly below an area where
surface runoff from an alley discharges into the slope. The proposed slope repair
will provide for local drainage. Provisions for drainage requirements are contained
in the City Excavation and Grading Code. Compliance with said Code would
reduce any potential impacts to an insignificant level.
CHECKLIST EXPLANATIONS
Page 8
The project will not result in the alteration or expansion of existing utility and
service systems. However, to ensure that there are no impacts associated with the
short-term construction related slope repairs, a mitigation measure is presented
which requires coordination with utility and service organizations prior to the
commencement of the slope repair.
Mitigation Measure No. 9 Prior to the commencement of grading activities, the Public
Works Department shall coordinate with utility and service organizations
regarding any construction activities to ensure existing facilities are protected
and any necessary expansion or relocation offaeilities are planned and scheduled
in consultation with the appropriate public agencies.
Mitigation Measure No. 10 The project design will provide for local drainage in
compliance with the City Excavation and Grading Code and subject to review and
approval by the Public Works Department.

MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
City of Newport Beach
Dahlia Avenue Street End Slope Repair at Fernleaf Ramp in Corona Del Mar
I. OVERVIEW
This mitigation monitoring program was prepared in compliance with Public Resources Code
Section 21081.6 (AB 3180 of 1988). It describes the requirements and procedures to be followed
by the applicant and the City to ensure that all mitigation measures adopted as part of this project
will be carried out. Attachment 1 summarizes the mitigation measures, implementing actions, and
verification procedures for this project.
II. MITIGATION MONITORING PROCEDURES
Mitigation measures can be implemented in three ways: (1) through project design, which is
verified by plan check and inspection; (2) through compliance with various codes, ordinances,
policies, standards, and conditions of approval which are satisfied prior to or during construction
and verified by plan check and /or inspection; and (3) through monitoring and reporting after
construction is completed. Compliance monitoring procedures for these three types of mitigation
measures are summarized below.
A. Mitigation measures implemented through project design: •
Upon project approval, a copy of the approved project design will be placed in the official project
file. As part of the review process for all subsequent discretionary or ministerial permits, the file
will be checked to verify that the requested permit is in conformance with the approved project
design. Field inspections will verify that construction conforms to approved plans.
B. Mitigation measures implemented through compliance with codes, ordinances,
policies, standards, or conditions of approval:
Upon project approval, a copy of the approved project description and conditions of approval will
be placed in the official project file. As part of the review process for all subsequent discretionary
or ministerial permits, the file will be checked to verify that the requested permit is in compliance
with all applicable codes, ordinances, policies, standards and conditions of approval. Field
inspections will verify that construction conforms to applicable standards and conditions.
C. Mitigation measures implemented through post- construction monitoring.
If any mitigation measures require verification and reporting after construction is completed, the
City will maintain a log of these mitigation monitoring and reporting requirements, and will
review completed monitoring reports. Upon submittal, the City will approve the report, request
additional information, or pursue enforcement remedies in the event of noncompliance. Final
monitoring reports will be placed in the official file.
