About this file
This is a Project Mitigation Measures Summary document for the Washington District Sustainable Community Infrastructure Project in West Sacramento, California, establishing environmental compliance requirements for the contractor. The project involves pedestrian and bicycle improvements, streetscape enhancements, utility undergrounding, and new street lighting along key roadways in the Washington District. Construction encompasses water main improvements, sewer system improvements, fiber optic conduit installation, pipeline removal and replacement, trenching, backfill operations, sewer main rehabilitation using cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) technology, manhole installations, and surface restoration, with coordination required with Union Pacific Railroad. The sealed bid deadline is Thursday, April 30, 2026 at 2:00 pm, with all construction work required to be completed by December 31, 2026. The project must comply with SACOG Green Means Go Grant requirements and is characterized by significant logistical challenges due to its location within active public rights-of-way adjacent to residences, businesses, and transportation corridors.
The contractor must incorporate all environmental mitigation measures identified in the Focused Environmental Impact Report, with costs included in the contract price and no separate payment provided for compliance activities. Key requirements include dust and emission control (AIR-1), archaeological and tribal monitoring with immediate work stoppage protocols within 100 feet of discoveries (CULT-1a, CULT-1b, CULT-2), human remains procedures including County Coroner notification (CULT-3), paleontological resource protection (PALEO-1), a Spill Prevention and Countermeasure Plan for hazardous materials prior to construction (HAZ-1), Phase I Environmental Site Assessment for contaminated soils (HAZ-2), a Noise Reduction Plan meeting City Municipal Code Chapter 17.32 standards (NOI-1), and a Traffic Management Plan/Emergency Services Plan following Yolo County Multi-Hazard Functional Plan recommendations (TRANS-1). A mandatory preconstruction meeting with supervisory personnel to review cultural resource protection, hazardous materials handling, stop-work protocols, and emergency procedures must be documented. The project identified significant and unavoidable impacts to archaeological site CA-YOL-27, requiring data recovery excavation and a detailed archaeological report submitted to the City and Northwest Information Center.

CHAPTER 2.0
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This chapter describes the proposed Washington District Sustainable Community Infrastructure Project (herein referred to as the Project or proposed Project) that is evaluated in this Focused EIR and includes a summary of the previous environmental review that has occurred for the project area, issues raised during the public review of the NOP, unavoidable significant impacts identified as a result of the analysis contained in Chapter 4.0, and the alternatives to the proposed project that are evaluated in Chapter 5.0 of this Focused EIR. A summary of the impacts and mitigation measures contained in Chapter 4.0 of this Focused EIR is included in Table 2.A at the end of this chapter.
2.1 PROJECT UNDER REVIEW
The objective of this Project is to add or improve the pedestrian, bicycle, parking and streetscape amenities along several of the key roadways within the Washington District of the City of West Sacramento. The above ground utilities along these roadways will be placed underground and new street lighting will be installed to improve the aesthetics and safety of the neighborhood. Sidewalk improvements, new bike lanes, and mid-block pedestrian crossings will be added. A new parking lot and a new roadway will also be added. Care will be taken that the new sidewalks, curb ramps, and crosswalks are ADA compliant. Lighting will be chosen to create a unified look for the district. The goal of this project is to begin the transformation of the Washington District into the vibrant and inviting area envisioned in the Washington Realized Plan. The project also includes environmental documentation and consultation with local Native American tribes. The proposed project is described in more detail in Chapter 3.0.
2.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT UNAVOIDABLE ADVERSE IMPACTS
The excavation into archaeologically sensitive areas for utility line replacement constitutes an unavoidable significant impact to a cultural resource. Although impacts to the archaeological resource are partially mitigated with implementation of Mitigation Measures CULT-1a and CULT-1b, impacts to cultural resources remain significant and unavoidable. In light of the adverse impact identified pertaining to cultural resources, a Statement of Overriding Considerations would be needed prior to project approval by the City Council. All other impacts resulting from the proposed project could be mitigated to a less than significant level (see Table 2.A and the Initial Study, Appendix A).
2.3 SUMMARY OF GROWTH INDUCING IMPACTS
The proposed project would not induce significant growth. Population data records the City of West Sacramento as having a population of 49,946 residents (US Census Bureau, 2014-15). The proposed project would not affect the net population of the site. While improvements will be made to the project area, all such improvements replace existing infrastructure and facilities. Having no proposed

P:\CPI0801\CEQA\EIR\408 Linda Ave_ Public Review Draft EIR.doc (05/11/11) 6 construction or demolition of building improvements, the Project would not impact the supply of residential, office or commercial units within the Project area. Additionally, no persons will be displaced by the Project improvements. Therefore, the Project would not directly induce growth.
Indirectly, the proposed Project could cause a slight increase in demand for jobs, schools and public services and facilities, due to the Project’s replacement of outdated infrastructure. Existing conditions of infrastructure within the Project area are prohibitive to growth. However, the proposed project would not increase emergency response times, exceed the capacity of schools or other public facilities and service systems, or require new or expanded public facilities or utility service systems. Any indirect growth inducing impact from the proposed Project is qualified as anticipated growth, as planned for in Washington Realized Plan. Therefore, the proposed project would not cause significant indirect growth.
2.4 SUMMARY OF CUMULATIVE IMPACTS
The proposed project would result in significant and unavoidable impacts to buried archaeological resources at the project site, both individually and when considered together with potential impacts to archaeological resources from other projects in the area. Mitigation Measures CULT-4a through CULT-4d, contained in this Focused EIR, would reduce impacts, but not to a less than significant level. Therefore, project impacts to cultural resources are cumulatively considerable.
2.5 EFFECTS FOUND NOT TO BE SIGNIFICANT
The Initial Study (Appendix A) identifies no significant impacts to the following environmental topics:
• Aesthetics
• Agricultural and Forestry Resources
• Air Quality
• Biological Resources
• Geology and Soils
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Hazards and Hazardous Materials
• Hydrology and Water Quality
• Land Use and Planning
• Mineral Resources
• Noise
• Population and Housing

• Transportation and Traffic
• Utilities and Service Systems
2.6 SUMMARY OF ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
The following alternatives to the proposed project are considered in this Focused EIR:
• The No Project Alternative assumes that the project would not be developed within the short-term.
• The Preferred Alternative would consist of trenching to underground utility lines (see Figure 7).
• The Alternate Locations Alternative would consist of trenching in different locations to underground utility lines.
• The Pipe Bursting Alternative would involve pipe bursting, in which the new pipe is forced through the existing pipe (see Section 5.4.1 and Figure 6), to replace utility lines.
The Preferred Alternative was determined to be the environmentally superior alternative. The Pipe Bursting Alternative was determined to be infeasible. Please refer to Chapter 5.0, Alternatives Analysis, for more discussion of these alternatives and other alternatives considered during development of this Focused EIR.
2.7 POTENTIAL AREAS OF CONTROVERSY AND ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED
The potential areas of controversy and issues to be resolved are associated with cultural resources, which are addressed in Chapter 4.
2.8 SUMMARY OF IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
The Initial Study identifies potentially significant impacts to the following environmental topics;
however, these potential impacts could be mitigated to a less than significant level with the mitigation measures included in the Initial Study:
• Air Quality
• Hazardous Materials and Wastes
• Noise and Vibration
• Traffic and Circulation
Table 2.A, Summary of Impacts and Mitigation Measures, includes the mitigation measures from the Initial Study as they relate to each environmental topic, as well as the mitigation measures included in Section 4.1, Cultural Resources, of the Focused EIR. For a complete description of the potential impacts, refer to the Initial Study in Appendix A.

BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
There are no significant biological impacts.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
Project implementation would result in a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological site (CA-YOL-27) that qualifies as a historical resource under CEQA.
SU Mitigation Measure CULT-1a: Prior to construction, the City of West Sacramento shall retain a cultural resources consultant to prepare and implement a Data Recovery Plan for the portion of CA-YOL-27 that will be impacted by the project. The Data Recovery Plan shall specify the archaeological methods to be used (i.e. control units, auger holes, recordation, safety measures, etc.) to obtain the necessary data needed to answer research design questions. The field investigation should adhere to the methods set forth in the Data Recovery Plan. A geographically-affiliated tribal monitor should observe the archaeological excavations. Subsequent to the completion of data recovery excavations, site/feature documentation, laboratory work, technical analyses, and field monitoring at CA-YOL-27, a report shall be prepared detailing the tasks undertaken. The report shall contain a summary of all previous archaeological studies at CA-YOL-27, discuss the methods and findings of the archaeological excavations, and present avenues for future research at the site. The report shall also contain technical appendices of analyses conducted as part of the site’s study, such as obsidian hydration and radiocarbon dating, and a DPR 523 site record updating the findings of the excavation at CA-YOL-27. Copies of the report shall be submitted to the City of West Sacramento and the Northwest Information Center.

S Mitigation Measure CULT-1b: During any ground-disturbing activities associated with the project, archaeological and tribal monitoring shall be conducted concurrently within areas of high archaeological sensitivity.
A qualified archaeologist and a geographically-affiliated tribal monitor shall monitor excavation, grading, and other earth-moving activities within 100 feet of the CA- YOL-27 boundary. The archaeologist and tribal observer will (1) identify any archaeological resources that may be present; and (2) ensure that if human remains are identified they are treated in an appropriate and respectful manner and that the County Coroner and the City of West Sacramento are notified in a timely manner.
Monitoring results shall be presented in a letter report prepared by the archaeologist and submitted to the City of West Sacramento and the Northwest Information Center.
If previously unidentified cultural materials are unearthed during construction, work shall be halted within 100 feet of that area until a qualified archaeologist can assess the significance of the find. If major adjustments are made to the horizontal or vertical extent of archaeological Project Area, then an archaeologist shall be consulted to determine if further identification efforts are recommended.
SU
Project implementation may impact previously unidentified subsurface archaeological resources that qualify as historical resources or unique archaeological resources under CEQA
S Mitigation Measure CULT-2: The City of West Sacramento shall inform its contractor(s) of the possibility of subsurface archaeological deposits within the project area by including the following directive in contract documents:
If prehistoric or historical archaeological deposits are discovered during project activities, all work within 100 feet of the discovery shall be redirected and a qualified archaeologist contacted to assess the situation, consult with agencies as appropriate, and make recommendations regarding the treatment of the discovery. Project personnel shall not collect or move any archaeological materials or human remains and associated materials. Archaeological resources can include flaked-stone tools (e.g., projectile points, knives, choppers) or obsidian, chert, basalt, or quartzite toolmaking debris; bone tools; culturally darkened soil (i.e., midden soil often containing heat-affected rock, ash and charcoal, shellfish remains, faunal bones, and cultural materials); and stone-milling equipment (e.g., mortars, pestles, handstones).
Prehistoric archaeological sites often contain human remains. Historical materials can include wood, stone, concrete, or adobe footings, walls, and other structural remains; debris-filled wells or privies; and deposits of wood, glass, ceramics, metal, and other refuse.

If archaeological deposits are identified during project subsurface construction, all ground-disturbing activities within 100 feet shall be redirected and a qualified archaeologist contacted to assess the situation and consult with agencies as appropriate. The archaeologist shall first determine whether such deposits are historical resources as defined in 14 CCR §15064.5(a) and as required of the lead agency at 14 CCR §15064.5(c)(1). If these deposits do not qualify as historical resources, a determination will be made if they qualify as unique archaeological resources, pursuant to 14 CCR §15064.5(c)(3). If the deposit qualifies as either a historical resource or a unique archaeological resource it will need to be avoided by adverse effects or such effects must be mitigated. Mitigation may consist of, but is not necessarily limited to, systematic recovery and analysis of archaeological deposits; recording the resource; preparation of a report of findings; and accessioning recovered archaeological materials at an appropriate curation facility. Public educational outreach may also be appropriate. Upon completion of the assessment, the archaeologist shall prepare a report documenting the methods and results, and provide recommendations for the treatment of the archaeological materials discovered. The report shall be submitted to the City of West Sacramento and the Northwest Information Center.
Ground-disturbing activities associated with project construction could potentially impact human remains.
S Mitigation Measure CULT-3: If human remains are encountered, these remains shall be treated in accordance with California Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section
7050.5. The project applicant shall inform its contractor(s) of the cultural sensitivity of the project area for human remains by including the following directive in contract documents:
If human remains are encountered during project activities, work within 100 feet of the discovery shall be redirected and the County Coroner notified immediately. At the same time, an archaeologist shall be contacted to assess the situation and consult with agencies as appropriate. Project personnel shall not collect or move any human remains and associated materials. If the human remains are of Native American origin, the Coroner must notify the Native American Heritage Commission within 24 hours of this identification. The Native American Heritage Commission will identify a Most Likely Descendant to inspect the site and provide recommendations for the proper treatment of the remains and associated grave goods.
In the event that human remains are encountered during project activities, work within 100 feet of the discovery should be redirected and the County Coroner notified immediately. At the same time, an archaeologist should be contacted to assess the

HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Hazardous materials (e.g. fuel, lubricant, concrete curing materials) may be used by construction equipment and for proposed Project improvements during construction. These materials would be used in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations and, if used properly, would not pose a hazard to people, animals, or plants. All refueling and maintenance of construction vehicles and equipment would occur within the designated staging area for the proposed Project.
The use of hazardous materials for construction equipment would be temporary and the proposed Project would not include a permanent use or source of
S Mitigation Measure HAZ-1: The contractor shall prepare a Spill Prevention and Countermeasure Plan (SPCP) prior to the commencement of construction activities.
The SPCP shall include information on the nature of all hazardous materials that would be used on-site. The SPCP shall also include information regarding proper handling of hazardous materials, and clean-up procedures in the event of an accidental release. The phone number of the agency overseeing hazardous materials and toxic clean-up shall be provided in the SPCP. This would reduce potential impacts to a less-than-significant level.

A 2012 Area Wide Assessment (City of West Sacramento 2015b) identified sites in the Project area which contain or potentially contain hazardous materials. These include:
• the USEPA-listed former Capitol Plating facility at 319 3rd Street, where soils have been found to be contaminated with heavy metals and the chlorinated solvent 1,2-dichloroethane (DCA);
• the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST)-listed former sites of Gary’s Mohawk Service Station (427 C Street) and Old Trailways Property (500 E Street), both of which were at one point sites of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination;
• the Registered Underground Storage Tank (UST)-listed Lehrer Vacant Lot at 317-319 C Street, which is the site of multiple former auto-serving businesses but at which no contamination has been found during investigations;
• the UST-listed 5th Street Pump Station at 326 5th Street, which has been determined uncontaminated;
• the UST-listed former Senator Garage/Golden Eagle Garage at 519 C Street, which contained three USTs at one point, all of which were reported to have been removed.
The most significant of these is likely the former Capitol Plating facility, which is known to contain contaminated soils. However, the Project design does not include any underground or otherwise ground-disturbing activity at the site of the former facility, therefore avoiding any hazardous waste related impacts at that site. However, for this and other sites in the Project area, as listed above and further discussed in the Area Wide Assessment (City of West Sacramento 2015b), implementation of the following mitigation would ensure that workers, residents, and other sensitive
S Mitigation Measure HAZ-2: Prior to the issuance of ground-disturbing permits for burying new utility lines, creating new sidewalks, and installing street lighting, the City of West Sacramento will prepare a site-specific Phase I Environmental Site Assessment to assess the presence of hazards or hazardous materials.
Recommendations from the site assessment shall be incorporated into development plans and implemented to ensure no adverse effects from onsite hazards. With this mitigation, risks due to existing/prior Project area contamination would be less-than-significant.

NOISE
During construction of the proposed project, noise from construction activities may intermittently dominate the noise environment in the immediate area of construction. Two types of short-term noise impacts would occur during project construction. The first type would be from construction crew commutes and the transport of construction equipment and materials to the project sites, which would incrementally increase noise levels on the existing roadways leading to the sites. The second type of short-term noise impact is related to noise generated during excavation, construction, and paving.
S Mitigation Measure NOI-1: Prior to initiating construction, the project proponent shall complete a noise reduction plan. The noise reduction plan shall identify the type and quantity of construction equipment to be operated, the expected noise levels of each piece of equipment, and the duration of operation at each construction site. The noise reduction plan shall include measures to ensure construction of the project will meet the standards of Chapter 17.32 of the City’s Municipal Code (performance standards of noise).
