Provide use as prepare the Lead the basis an EIR or a Agency with information to for deciding whether to Negative Declaration. 2. Enable an applicant or Lead Agency to modify a project, mitigating adverse impacts before an EIR is prepared, thereby, enabling the project to qualify for a Negative Declaration. 3. Assist the preparation of an EIR, if one is required by: a. Focusing the EIR on the determined to be significant. effects b. Identifying the effects determined not to be significant. c. Explaining the reasons for determining that potentially significant effects would not be significant. 4. Facilitate environmental assessment early in the design of a project. 5.

The project will include laying a 42" pipe, installing manholes, catch basins, an outlet structure and reconstructing the street profile. The project will take approximately four weeks. The project will be expanded in the future as the storm drain will be extended along 21st Street west to Kenwood Avenue. 2.2 Project Impacts Impacts identified in the attached include: checklist J.b. The project will change the course or flow of flood waters. 5.b. The project could result in an increase in the existing noise levels. 9.d. The project could alter the present pattern of circulation. 2-1 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - PLANNING DEPARTMENT INITIAL STUDY - Public Works No. 88A-22 Storm Drain, Manholes, Catch Basin, Outlet 21st street - San Gabriel to Twin Creek Flood control Channel July 27, 1988 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Location The storm drain will be approximately 8 feet underground. A catch basin will be installed on the north side of 21st Street at San Gabriel. The drain will be laid across 21st Street and enter the East Twin Creek Flood Control Channel south of 21st Street. 3.2 site and Project Characteristics 3.2.1 Existing Conditions Presently there is not a storm drain in this location and the project will relieve the nuisance water that crosses 21st Street at San Gabriel. 3.2.2 Project Characteristics The project includes laying manholes, catch basins, an reconstruction of the street a 42" pipe, installing outlet structure and profile. 3-1 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - PLANNING DEPARTMENT INITIAL STUDY - Public Works No. 88A-22 Storm Drain, Manholes, Catch Basin, Outlet 21st Street - San Gabriel to Twin Creek Flood control Channel July 27, 1988 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 4.1 Environmental Setting The project is located in a four lane street in a residential area. The area is zoned for single family residential use. The proposed storm drain will direct the nuisance water into the flood control channel which is designed for that purpose. The channel feeds the overflow into the Santa Ana River. 4.2 Environmental Effects The environmental checklist identifies three areas of potential concern. Each item checked "maybe" or "yes" on the checklist is identified below and followed by a recommended mitigation measure. 3.b. will the proposal result in changes in the course or flow of flood waters? Flood water is currently carried down the public streets. The catch basin and storm drain are needed to prevent the nuisance water from flooding 21st Street. 5.a. Could the proposal result in increases in existing noise levels? The work schedule shows because of the intense Care is to be taken residences along the Street. a 7 a.m. start heat during the not to disturb south side of time day. the 21st 9.c. Could the proposal result in an alteration of present patterns of circulation? The work is to be done in a four lane street. only two lanes will be under construction at the time. Traffic will be slowed but not detoured around the construction which should only take a month to complete. 4-1 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - PLANNING DEPARTMENT INITIAL STUDY - Public Works No. 88A-22 Storm Drain, Manholes, Catch Basin, Outlet 21st Street - San Gabriel to Twin Creek Flood Control Channel July 27, 1988 5.0 REFERENCES Mike Grubbs, Senior Engineer City Public Works Department 5-1 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - PLANNING DEPARTMENT INITIAL STUDY - Public Works No. 88A-22 Storm Drain, Manholes, Catch Basin, Outlet 21st Street - San Gabriel to Twin Creek Flood Control Channel July 27, 1988 6.0 APPENDICES Negative Declaration Attached csjl7-18-88 DOC:MISC ISPW88A22 6-1 APPENDIX "A' r CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PLANNING DEPARTMENT "" ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT CHECKLIST .)

Mandatory Findings of Significance (Section lS06S) The California Environmental Quality Act states that if any of the following can be answered yes or maybe, the project may have a significant effect on the environment and an Environmental Impact Report shall be prepared. lo. 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, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate Yes No x x x x x x ~ REVISED 10/87 PAGE 6 OF 8 - -..-- Pl'l 88A-22 Yes No Maybe important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? x b. Does the project have the potential to achieve short term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impacts will endure well into the future. ) x c. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project may impact on two or more separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the environment is sign if icant.) x d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? x C.

REVISED 10/87 PAGE 7 OF 3 - - "----- - ~~ PW 88A-22 """'IiIi o DETERMINAnON On the basis of this initial study, The proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. The proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, although there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described above have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. [1] o The proposed project ~~Y have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONME~~AL IMPACT REPORT is required.
