HHS-1(b) Hazards and Operability Study. A Hazards and Operability (HAZOP)
study will be prepared by the City and approved by the California Department of
Public Health (DPH) prior to the issuance of the projects permit to operate. The
HAZOP study will identify potential safety hazards and evaluate potential
operational problems in characterizing potential consequences to the surrounding
communities in the event of a release of a hazardous material. This document will
be prepared in accordance with the evaluation process described in State of
California Department of Public Health (DPH) Policy Memorandum 97-005 for the
Direct Domestic Use of Extremely Impaired Sources of Drinking Water, issued on
5 November 1997. The HAZOP involves a detailed review of the design of an
engiheered system to evaluate the safety and operability of the system's
components under varying operational parameters. This study will further evaluate
the storage, use and transportation of hazardous materials at the project location.
All recommendations and measures identified in this study shall be implemented.
The DPH will keep the HAZOP report as part of the permit application file, and will
make reference to it in the water supply permit. Anticipated measures include
proper identification of storage hazardous materials, implementation of proper spill
prevention and countermeasures, emergency response procedures, and other
design measures that are necessary to eliminate or minimize to the greatest extent
feasible any potential hazards associated with the new facilities and their
operations. In addition, the HAZOP study focuses on how a plant or facility will
respond to deviations from normal operation. This report will be prepared by the
design engineers and approved by a professional engineer. A copy' of the study
F:Nlurticipall,aw\SM1are\I,AWS\BARRY\Chamock CEQA Findivgs (witfioat MhMP)11-25-08 doc ~' S

(e) The Final EIR determined that without mitigation the proposed project could
result in significant adverse impacts to Hydrology and Water Quality. Consistent with Article
VI, Section 12 of the City CEQA Guidelines .and Section 15091 and 15092 of the State of
California CEQA Guidelines and as detailed in the Final EIR Volume 1 at Section 4.5,
incorporated herein by reference, .the City Council finds that the following mitigation
measures have been required for the project which will avoid or substantially lessen the
potential significant environmental effects identified with respect to Hydrology and Water
Quality to below levels of significance.
HWQ-2(a) Best Management Practices. The City shall include best management
practices (BMPs), such as sand filters and grease traps within the reconfigured
surface parking lots. These features will be designed to intercept and prevent
pollutants, sediment, and debris from discharging offsite.
HWQ-2(b) Landscaping Maintenance-Plan. A landscaping maintenance plan
shall be implemented that limits the use of herbicides and inorganic fertilizers
applied to landscaping to quantities that are necessary to treat specific problems.
The maintenance plan shall incorporate features from the City of Santa Monica's
Integrated Pest Management Program, which include, but are not limited to the
F\MUrucipalLaw\Share\LAWS\BARRY\Chamock CEQA Findivys (erithoat bLNRP)11-25-OS doc ~ ~'7
following: pest-resistant landscape materials and pest-repellant plants, provisions
for mechanical weed control to be used wherever and whenever possible as the
first choice; determination of the probable cause of a disease problem and
correction as necessary (e.g., soil nutrient problems, irrigation, water quality, and
plant type) prior to chemical use; provisions that herbicides are to be used only
when necessary to cure a problem and not as a preventative measure or as a
regular, periodic application; and, guidelines for use. of chemical forms that have a
low potential for leaching from the site.
(f) The Final EIR determiried that without mitigation the proposed project could
result in significant adverse impacts to Noise. Consistent with Article VI, Section 12 of the City
CEQA Guidelines and Section 15091 and 15092 of the State of California CEQA Guidelines
and as detailed in the Final EIR Volume 1 at Section 4.5, incorporated herein by reference;
the City Council finds that the following mitigation measures have been required for the project
which will avoid or substantially lessen the potential significant environmental effects identified
with respect to Noise to below levels of sighificance.
N-2(a) Portable Noise Barriers. Portable noise barriers made from acoustic
blankets (minimum STC of 25) at least eight feet in height shall be placed between
the noise source on the off-loading trucks and the nearest residences and school
buildings. Panels shall overlap and the blanket shall reach to and lie on the
ground. The total length of panels shall be no less than 30 feet placed between
the source and the receptor, and the panels shall be located no further than 10
F:WiunicipalLaw\Share\LAWS\BAAAY\Chamock CEQAFindivgs (without MhptF)11-25-OS.doc 18
feet from the source. The barriers will be designed and implemented such that an
hourly Leq of 65 dBA will not be exceeded at the nearest residence.
N-2(b) Electric Air Compressor.. An electric air compressor located in a
sheltered enclosure shall be provided onsite to provide the air pressure needed for
GAC change out operations.
SECTION 3. Consistehfwith Article VI, Section 12 of the City of Santa Monica CEQA
Guidelines and Section 15091, 15092, and 15093 of the State of California CEQA Guidelines,
and as detailed in Final EIR Volume 1, Sections 6.0, incorporated herein by reference, the
City Council finds that although the No Project Alternative would not involve any new
construction it would continue the practice of importing drinking water. This alternative would
also not accomplish the City's objective to restore the groundwater conditions within the
Charnock subbasin, provide the beneficial use of local groundwater, reduce City reliance on
State water and conserve energy resources.
SECTION 4. The City Council is not required to make findings rejecting the
alternatives described in the Final EIR since all of the project's significant impacts will be
avoided or substantially lessened by mitigation. However, the City Council does conclude that
none of the project alternatives are clearly environmentally superior to the proposed project,
including the No Project alternative. The. No Project alternative fails to meet the stated
objectives of the project and results in continued cumulative significant energy, air pollution,
and biological resources impacts associated with the use of imported water. All of the other.
F N1unicipalLaw\ShareLL.AW $\BARRY\ChamOCk CEQA Findings (without h11vRtP) I I-25-08.doc ~" 9
alternatives (Reduced Profile Alternative, Equipment Housing Alternative, and SMWTP Only
Alternative) involve tradeoffs between impact areas. The City Council finds that the reduced
project profile alternative would be the environmeritally preferred alternative of those
considered. It would reduce visua( impacts but would substantially increase impacts related
to geologic and construction impacts. Specifically, construction impacts related to noise, air
pollution, and traffic would increase due to the extended construction schedule. The vessel
housing alternative would result in increased visual impacts and increased construction
impacts. The SMWTP alternative would decrease aesthetic, construction and noise effects at
the Chamock location. However, these same impacts would increase at the SMWTR and
along the interconnecting pipeline infrastructure corridor. Thin alternative would also increase
the potential risk of upset and hydrology and water quality impacts due to the transport of
contaminant impacted groundwater over greater distances from Charnock to the SMWTP.
This alternative would also be subject to Department of Public Health approval and may not
be feasible from a regulatory perspective.
SECTION 5. Consistent with Section 21081.6(d) of the. California Environmental
Quality Act, the documents which constitute the record of proceedings for approving this
project are located in the Public Works Department, Civil Engineering & Architecture, 1437 4`n
Street, Suite 300, Santa Monica, California. The custodian of these documents is Spiros
Lazaris, Civil Engineer.
SECTION 6. Consistent with Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, the City
Council adopts the Mitigation .Monitoring :Program, which is included as Attachment A, to
F:U9unicipalLaw\Share\LAWS\BARRY\Chamock CEQA Findings (withow MtvIRP) I I-25-O8.doc 2 ~
mitigate or avoid significant effects of the Project on the environment, as detailed in Sections
3 of this Resolution, and to ensure compliance during project implementation.
SECTION 7. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution, and
thenceforth and thereafter the same shall be in full force and effect.

Charnock Well Pield Restoration Project EIR
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
This document is the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Pz'ogram (MMRP) for the Charnock
Well Field Restoration Project, proposed in the City of Santa Monica, California. Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6(a) requires that a Lead Agency adopt an MMRP prior to
approving a project in order to mitigate or avoid significant impacts that have been identified
in an Environmental Impact Report. The purpose of the MMRP is to ensure that the required
mitigation measures identified in the Environmental Impact Report are implemented as part of
the overall project implementation. In addition to ensuring implementation of mitigation
measures, the MMRP provides feedback to agency staff and decision-makers during project
implementation, and identifies the need for enforcement action before irreversible
environmental damage occurs.
The following table summarizes the mitigation measures for each issue area identified in the
Environmental Impact Report for the Charnock Well Field Restoration Project. The table
identifies each mitigation measure; the action required for the measure to be implemented; the
time at which the monitoring is to occur; the monitoring frequency; and the agency or party
responsible for ensuring that the monitoring is performed. In addition, the table includes
columns for compliance verification. These columns would be filled out by the monitoring
agency or party and would document monitoring compliance.
This MMRP will be used by City staff or the City's consultant to determine compliance with.
permit conditions. Violations of these conditions may cause the City to revoke the operating
permit.
