Inter-Department Communication
TO: Mary Beth Broeren,Senior Planner
Ron Hagan, Special Projects
Jim Engle,Acting Director of Community Services
David Dominguez, Recreation Supervisor
Amy Bodek, Real Estate Manager
Connie Brockway, City Clerk
FROM: Scott Field, Assistant City Attorney
DATE: December 24, 2002
SUBJECT: City of Huntington.Beach v. HBPOA (Gun Range)
Attached please find a new document request we received from the POA's attorneys in the
Gun Range case. Also enclosed is an index of the documents that we have already obtained
from the City. I would appreciate if each of you would review this list and determine if you
believe there are any additional materials that were developed in the last year that are not on
the index.
In particular, Request Nos. 2 - 9, 11 and 13 refer to hazardous substances and remediation
costs. I believe Mary Beth Broeren is the most familiar with this issue. Again, Mary Beth,
are there any materials that you think that are not included on the index.
Request No. 10 goes to the question of whether any maintenance work has been done on the
site since we took possession of the property. Jim Engle and Dave Dominguez, I would
appreciate knowing from you if there are any additional documents referencing maintenance
work done on the property that is not already on the list.
Request No. 12 asks if we have done anything to seek compensation from anyone besides the
POA. I believe the answer is no, but does anyone else have any other information?
Request No. 14 asks of proposed uses. Are there any studies or other documents identifying
proposed uses to the site? In particular, Jim Engle and Dave Dominguez, are there any
documents concerning relocating the Hansen's recycling yard that are not already included
on the list?

REQUEST FOR ACTION
MEETING DATE: October 16, 2000 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL00-51
Analysis:
A. BACKGROUND: -A Master Environmental-Impact Report for the Master Plan of Recreation Uses
for Central Park (MEIR), including the Huntington Beach Police Officer's Association Gun Range site,
was certified by the City Council on August 2, 1999. The closed gun range, located on approximately
4.9 acres within Huntington Central Park, is owned by the city. The site was originally owned by the
:County of Orange and was part of a landfill. After the landfill closed in the 1960's, the county deeded
the property to the city for public park and recreation purposes. The site is now designated Open
Space-Park in the General Plan and is part of the Master Plan of Recreation Uses for Central Park.
The Huntington Beach Police Officer's Association constructed the gun range facility under a 20-year
lease with the city. In 1988, the original lease expired and was continued on a year-to-year basis
until 1997 when the city canceled the lease because of safety considerations. The site has been
closed since then.
B. SCOPE OF WORK: The proposed cleanup of the closed gun range site will require the
professional services of a consultant to prepare:
• An analysis of the potential environmental impacts associated with cleanup of the gun range
site and preparation of the appropriate level of documentation, including a mitigation plan.
• An analysis of the potential environmental impacts of the proposal to relocate the existing
recycling operation in Huntington Central Park to the gun range site and identification of
mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate these impacts.
• A Remedial Work Plan for the cleanup consistent with the criteria, standards, and provisions
of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA), and the regulations,
requirements and procedures of other public agencies with jurisdictional authority.
0 The cost of the project is as follows:
RBF Consulting — Environmental Documentation $130,553
and Remedial Work Plan
Supplemental Expenditures 6,392
Contingency Fund 13,055
Total Estimated Cost Not To Exceed $150;000
C. CONSULTANT SELECTION PROCESS: Due to current workloads and the unique environmental
considerations on the closed gun range site, staff recommends that the city.retain a consultant to
perform the work. The consulting firm is to function as an extension of staff. The selection process
followed to select the recommended consulting firm is described below.
The City of Huntington Beach issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to find a consultant team that has
demonstrated experience in the -preparation of environmental documentation and preparation of
remedial work plans, CEQA documents and public.facilitation--skills. The RFP required both the
preparation of environmental documentation and preparation of a Remedial Work Plan for reuse of
the gun range. Staff distributed the RFP to the following six qualified planning consulting firms:
• RBF Consulting
• KEA Environmental
• P & D Environmental
• Sapphos Environmental
PL00-51 -2- 10/5/00 1:16 PM
REQUEST FOR ACTION
MEETING DATE: October 16, 2000 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL00-51
• EDAW
• Ultrasystems Environmental, Inc.
All consulting firms except EDAW responded to the city's RFP'by submitting proposals detailing their
experience, expertise, fee structure and scope of work for the project. After careful consideration
and interviews, staff determined that the firm of RBF Consulting offered the best combination of
.experience, expertise, project approach, accessibility, and price to meet the city's needs.
The project is of utmost importance to the city for the following reasons: (1) the lead contamination
on the gun range site is a health issue and, by law, must be mitigated; (2) the Recycling Center is
essential to the city's recycling efforts and saves the city significant money each year by providing
low cost road base for street construction; and (3) the Recycling Center must be relocated to make
room for the new Huntington Central Park Sports Complex, which is scheduled for construction in
July, 2001. If the EIR shows that the Recycling Center can be relocated to this site, staff will return to
Council with a proposed amendment to the Huntington Central Park Master Plan recommending this
use. Since the timeline for cleanup may preclude the Recycling Center operations, the Recycling
Center will be relocated to a temporary site to allow for construction of the Huntington Central Park
Sports Complex
Environmental Status: Projects over which public agencies exercise ministerial authority, such
as this agreement contracting for preparation of Environmental Documentation and a Remedial Work
Plan for the closed gun range site are-categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality
Act pursuant to Section 15300.1.

Proposal for a Focused Eland Remedial Work Plan
Former Gun Range Within Huntington Central Park
I. INTRODUCTION AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE
PROJECT
1.1 INTRODUCTION
RBF Consulting has submitted this Proposal to prepare a Focused Environmental Impact Report
(EIR)and Remedial Work Plan to assess potential impacts and identify mitigation measures for
the 4.9-acre former Huntington Beach Police Officers Association gun range located within
Huntington Central Park in the City of Huntington Beach. The Draft EIR, Final EIR and
associated work products will be prepared in accordance with the criteria, standards and
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Section 21000 et. sec. of the
State EIR Guidelines (California Administrative Code Section 15000), the City of Huntington
Beach Environmental Guidelines, and the regulations requirements and procedures of other
responsible Public Agency with jurisdiction by law.
The proposed Scope of Services has been prepared in accordance with the task outline
identified in the City's Request for Proposal. Each of the issues is approached thoroughly in
order to fully assess all potential impacts,establish thresholds,and identify mitigation measures.
RBF Consulting recognizes that an extensive amount of technical data will be generated for the
project. The Scope of Services takes that data into consideration and, where appropriate,
scoping for the project includes confirmation of the analysis provided. RBF Consulting is the
lead firm for this work program and will provide services from our Corporate Headquarters in
Irvine. The subconsultant team includes Hart Crowser for the Remedial Work Plan and Scott
Magorien for the Geotechnical Evaluation.
1.2 UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT
The City of Huntington Beach is seeking to retain a consultant to prepare a Focused EIR in
accordance with Sections 15163 and 15180(b)of the CEQA Guidelines and a Remedial Work
Plan for clean up of the former Huntington Beach Police Officers Association gun range. The
approximate 4.9-acre gun range site is located on a former land fill site within Huntington
Central Park.The proposed project site is designated as Open Space-Park in the City's General
Plan and is part of the Master Plan of Recreational Uses for Central Park. A Master
Environmental Impact Report WEIR) for portions of Central Park, including the proposed
project site was identified.as a program level element that would require supplemental
environmental review. _It is RBF Consulting's understanding that the purpose of the EIR is to
adequately address potential environmental impacts associated with clean-up of the former gun
range site and.prepare a mitigation plan for the site's remediation (i.e., Remedial Work Plan).
In addition, the EIR will address potential ultimate uses of the site and associated facilities
consistent with the Master Plan of Recreational Uses for Central Park (i.e. restrooms, lighting,
parking facilities, irrigation systems, etc.) The scale of the Project, as well as its geographical
location, require consideration of environmental, planning and development criteria. Careful
consideration is necessary to properly consider area resources and compatibility of the project
with the surrounding community. The RBF Consulting team will serve as an extension of staff
to assure that the entire review process is conducted in a comprehensive manner, which will
include consideration of recent CEQA legislation and input of the project team and reviewing
agencies. The RBF Consulting project team led by Mr. Kevin Thomas, CEP, will provide
JN 10-100973 001 • 1 • December 20,2000
•
Proposal for a Focused Ad Remedial Work Plan
Former Gun Range Within Huntington Central Park
communication and updates to staff on the progression of the work program and status of the
analysis.
The project initiation will involve a detailed scoping process including a review of issues,
constraints and project opportunities. RBF Consulting will embark on an agency consultation
process and engage in a public scoping session which will be intended to ascertain key
community concerns as well as informing the public as to the purpose of the CEQA review and
the determination process. An Initial Study will be circulated with the Notice of Preparation
for 30-day review. Comments received during the review period will be evaluated as part of
preparation of the Draft EIR. The initial task will also include a peer review of the applicant's
technical studies to determine adequacy and any additional modifications that may be
necessary.
The Draft EIR will include the Introduction and Purpose, Executive Summary and Project
Description. The Environmental Analysis section will evaluate the necessary information with
respect to the existing conditions,the potential adverse effects of Project implementation(both
individual and cumulative),and measures to mitigate such effects.Environmental issues raised
during the scoping process(Notice of Preparation responses, Public Scoping Meeting;and any
other relevant and valid informative sources)will also be evaluated.The environmental analysis
section of the EIR will thoroughly discuss the existing conditions for each environmental issue
area, identify short-term and long-term environmental impacts associated with the project and
their levels of significance. Feasible mitigation measures will be recommended to reduce the
significance of impacts and identify areas of unavoidable significant adverse impacts even after
mitigation. The environmental documentation will assist in identifying constraints,
modifications and improvements which may be incorporated into the land planning process.
Thre RBF Consulting project team will be looked upon as an integral component in the Project
review and will participate in meetings with staff and public hearings as required by the City.
RBF Consulting will complete the environmental review process, respond to all comments
received during the 45-day review period and prepare the findings of significance and
mitigation monitoring program (as directed by staff). The environmental review process will
result in the presentation of pertinent information of Project impacts and findings to the City
decision makers for determination and certification. The environmental process will ultimately
assist the City in developing a project which the entire community can take pride in. We are
excited about the potential opportunity of participating in this process.

II. SCOPE OF WORK
The following Scope of Work has been prepared pursuant to the information contained in the Request
for Proposal and subsequent information received from the City. The cost estimate,which is itemized
according to task and issue is presented in Section IX.
1.0 PROJECT SCOPING
1.1 RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATION
RBF Consulting will obtain and review available data for the project area as well as
policy documentation from the City of Huntington Beach,County of Orange,the South
Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), State and Federal Agencies, the
Southern California Association of Governments(SCAG)and all other agencies which
may be affected by the Project. This information, along with environmental data and
information available from the City and other nearby jurisdictions,will become part of
the foundation of the EIR and will be reviewed and incorporated into the analysis, as
deemed appropriate.
1.2 AGENCY CONSULTATION
As indicated in Section 15083 of CEQA, many public agencies have found that early
consultation solves many potential conflicts that could arise in more serious forms later
in the review process. Although the Notice of Preparation and Public Scoping session
meeting(refertoTask 5.0 regarding public meetings)will provide that opportunity,RBF
Consulting will conduct additional discussions with local, state and federal agencies
which will assist in the early stages of the analysis and issue delineation. This scoping
can be an effective way to bring together and resolve the concerns of affected federal,
state and local agencies as well as the local community.
1.3 FIELD RECONNAISSANCE
As a part of the early scoping for the Project, RBF Consulting will conduct a field study
of the site, reviewing existing land use and environmental conditions and conducting
a detailed photographic recording of on-site and surrounding uses. Our extensive
video resource capabilities will be utilized so that the entire RBF Consulting Team may
havexeadily available site information during the course.of the analysis.
1.4 REMEDIAL WORK PLAN
In response to the RFP requirements, RBF Consulting has teamed with Hart Crowser to
prepare the required Remedial Work Plan for the proposed project which will address
the following issue areas as requested by the City.
The production of an approved Remedial Work Plan, as requested by the City, will
involve a two-step approach. First, a Remedial Investigation will be performed to
identify the vertical and lateral extent of impacted materials from the firing range
activities and quantify the volume of soil to be remediated on site or disposed off-site.
JN 10-100972.001 • 3 • December 20, 2000
Proposal for a Focused EI•d Remedial Work Plan
Former Gun Range Within Huntington Central Park
During this investigation, Hart Crowser will also identify other materials on-site that
i
may be impacted with lead,or other heavy metals or creosote,such as the wood posts
and fencing surrounding the firing berms.
Following submittal of the Final Remedial Investigation Report, Hart Crowser will
obtain concurrence from the Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA); the
probable lead regulatory agency,that firing range impacts to the subject property have
been fully delineated. Once concurrence has been obtained, the second step in
completing the Remedial Workplan,an Action Plan (AP),will be drafted. The AP will
be a comprehensive document outlining best available technical alternatives and
preferred methodologies for site remediation and will represent Hart Crowser's
recommended approach for soil and wooden materials remediation on the property
with potential off-site final disposal. The AP will also include estimated budgetary costs
for each remedial option considered,as well as a detailed costing for the recommended
option.
Both the Remedial Investigation and the Action Plan will be drafted in coordination
with City staff and OCHCA personnel reviews and comments, in order to expedite the
Remedial Workplan's final approval. In this way,the installation bid documents for the
most cost-effective and operationally efficient remedial system can be requested from
the pre-qualified contractors by the City.
Remedial Investigation
The Remedial Investigation will allow Hart Crowser to assess the type, levels, and
extent of heavy-metal impacts (mainly lead, copper and zinc) and creosote at the
subject property including the soils and the wood post/fencing. To accomplish this,
Hart Crowser proposes to complete the following tasks.
❖ Task 1 - Health & Safety Plan (HSP) ,
❖ Task 2 - Sampling & Analysis Plan (SAP)
❖ Task 3 - Soil Investigation (both berm and flat area)
❖ Task 4 -Wood Post and Fencing Characterization
❖ Task 5 - Certified Laboratory Analyses
❖ Task 6 - Final Remedial Investigation Report (findings, conclusions and
recommendations)
Prior to initiating fieldwork,and after meeting with City representatives, Hart Crowser
will contact and meet with OCHCA to present the objectives and overall rationale of
the Remedial Investigation. Hart Crowser will detail the proposed scope of work with
methodology and incorporate OCHCA's recommendations into the final workplan.
Hart Crowser will request written approval of the Sampling and Analysis Plan
(discussed below)from OCHCA and other local regulatory agency, if applicable,prior
to proceeding with field characterization activities.
JN 10-100972.001 • 4 • December 20, 2000
Proposal for a Focused EIR and Remedial Work Plan
Former Gun Range Within Huntington Central Park
Task 1 —Health & Safety Plan
The site-specific Health and Safety Plan (HSP)will address procedures to minimize the
risk of chemical exposures, as well as physical accidents to on-site workers, and the
surrounding community. Also, the plan will outline procedures to.prevent onsite
environmental contamination. The HSP will cover each of the 11 required plan
elements as specified in 29 CFR 1910.120 or equivalent CAL-OSHA regulations,
including the following:
❖ job Hazard Analysis
❖ Decontamination Procedures
❖ Heat Stress
❖ Standard Operating Procedures for Sampling(soils and wood materials)
❖ Air Monitoring
Each field day will start with a tailgate safety meeting to review the work task protocols
with completion of a sign-in sheet.
Task 2 —Sampling&Analysis Plan
The overall purpose of the Sampling & Analysis Plan (SAP) will be to describe field
activities that will be undertaken as part of the Remedial Investigation relating to the
soils (berm and flat area) and the wood posts/fencing. The SAP will be composed of
a Field Sampling Plan(FSP)and a Quality Assurance/Quality Control Plan(QAPP). The
FSP will describe the type, location, quantity, and rationale for all samples to be
collected and measurements to be made during characterization activities. The FSP
will also address the procedures for locating the depth to the underlying landfill cap so
the investigative work will not disturb the in-place capping materials. The QAPP will
specify the quality assurance and quality control objectives, organization; and
functional activities associated with characterization sampling.
Task 3 —Soil Investigation
Field Methods
Characterization of heavy-metal soil impacts from former firing range activities will be
accomplished via push-probe sampler or similar subsurface invasive penetration system
(i.e. Geoprobe). In this way, no soil cuttings will be generated that would require off-
site disposal. As the subject property overlies a former closed landfill.. Hart Crowser
proposes to first place a boring intended to "tag" the upper surface of the landfill cap
so as to provide a control depth beneath which assessment activities will not be
conducted. This first boring will also be used to collect soil samples and have an
intended target depth of 8 to10-feet below ground surface (bgs).
Soil samples will be collected in flounce glass jars using new stainless steel spoons.
Samples will be properly sealed,labeled,and placed on ice for transportation to a State
certified analytical laboratory. Strict chain-of-custody documentation will be followed
once samples are relinquished to laboratory personnel. The estimated laboratory turn-
around-time for sample results will be seven to ten working days.

Former Gun Range Within Huntington Central Park
The following bullet list describes Hart Crowser's conclusions after reviewing the
Preliminary Assessment performed for the property by Enviroclean Environmental,Inc.
(November 1998). Each is followed by a discussion of the rationale for additional
investigation needed to characterize vertical and lateral soil impacts to the property.
I
❖ The three soil berms on-site have been well characterized for lead impacts to
4 feet bgs. However, they have not been evaluated for other common firing
range metals such as copper and zinc. In addition, the vertical extent of
impacted soils has not been delineated below four feet.
During this Remedial Investigation, Hart Crowser will place a total of six
borings on the berms (one boring per 45 linear feet). These borings will be
driven to 10 feet bgs,with soil samples collected at 2-foot intervals beginning
at 2-feet bgs. This part of the remedial investigation will allow Hart Crowser to
confirm the presence or absence of other common firing range metals in the
berms, as well as delineate the depth to which soil has been impacted within
the berms.
❖ The flat range area between the shooting positions and the berm has not been
assessed for heavy-metal impacts. Hart Crowser proposes to grid the flat range
area into individual 30-foot by 30-foot boxes,with one boring placed per grid.
It is anticipated that the area of investigation will be covered with
approximately 22 soil sample location boxes.
All 22 borings will be driven to 6-feet bgs, with soil samples collected at the
surface, 3-feet bgs and 6-feet bgs. This approach is intended to delineate the
vertical and lateral extent of heavy-metal impacts in soils in front and to the
sides of the firing berms.
Task 4 -Wood Posts/Fencing Characterization
The Enviroclean Assessment Report makes reference that no investigation/assessment
of the wood posts and fencing surrounding the firing range areas to the rear and to the
sides has been conducted. Hart Crowser proposes to assess these wood materials in
the following manner:
❖ A visual inspection will identify wood materials that are impregnated with
whole bullets and bullet fragments. These will be identified as California
Regulated Wastes due to the heavy metal content as there is no cost-effective
and technically efficient manner with which to identify and remediate metal
impacts within wood fibers.
•:• Those portions of wood posts/fencing that are buried will be classified as
non-California Regulated Wastes and these wood sections will be disposed
of off-site, probably at a certified landfill.
❖ Those wood materials visually identified not to be impacted with heavy metals
will be sampled and analyzed for creosote levels. This will be performed by
collecting one non-bullet impacted wood sample from each berm wood
JN 10-100972.001 • 6 • December 20,2000
•
Proposal for a Focused EIR and Remedial Work Plan
Former Gun Range Within Huntington Central Park
posts/fencing and six non-bullet impacted wood samples from the side wood
posts/fencing of the range. The sampling results will allow Hart Crowser to
quantify the amount of wood posts/fencing to be considered a California
regulated waste for final off site disposal options.
Task 5 -Certified Laboratory Ana uses
Soil
Hart Crowser will submit, through proper Chain-of-Custody procedures, 30 soil
samples collected from the berm area and 66 soil samples collected from the flat range
area for laboratory analysis. All 99 soil samples will be analyzed for total extractable
copper(Cu), zinc (Zn), and lead (Pb) by EPA Method 6010. In addition, the two soil
samples with the highest total lead concentrations collected from the berm area and the
four soil samples with the highest lead concentrations collected from the flat range area
will be analyzed for the Title 22 metals by EPA Method 6010. This will be intended
to confirm the presence or absence of elevated levels of other heavy-metals in the soil
and provide the complete metals assessment needed for final off-site disposal.
All reported heavy metal concentrations that exceed the soluble threshold limit
concentration (STLC) by a factor of 10 but that are below the total threshold limit
concentration (TfLC)will be analyzed by CAL WET TEST for solubility of metals. The
following table presents the TTLC and STLC acceptable levels for copper, lead, and
zinc.
Inorganic Compound TTLC STLC
} (mg/kg) (m L)
Copper 2,500 25
Lead 1,000 5
Zinc 5,000 250
Wood Posts/Fencina
Hart Crowser will submit nine wood samples for laboratory analysis. These samples
will be collected in flounce glass jars and will be analyzed for creosote levels by EPA
Method 8270.
Task 6 -Final Remedial Investigation Report
Hart Crowser will use data gathered during the soil investigation to prepare locations
figures and cross-sections detailing impacted areas throughout the site. These figures
will be used to quantify volumes of soil and wood materials that can be classified as
California regulated wastes. Conclusions and recommendations will be presented in
the Final Remedial Investigation Report to be submitted to the City and the Orange
County Health Care Agency.
JN 10-100972.001 • 7 • December 20, 2000

Former Gun Range Within Huntington Central Park
Action Plan
The Action Plan will be strictly based on the assessment information contained in the
Final Remedial Investigation Report. It will present background information and
previous assessment data. It will clearly outline the objective of the soil remediation
program and will present remedial alternatives with estimated costs.
Alternatives Evaluation
Soil
Hart Crowser proposes to delineate up to five remedial alternatives, based on the
investigative results and recommendations for the impacted soils, as follows:
❖ Excavate,Transport and Off-Site Disposal
❖ Physical Separation and Reuse On-Site
❖ Stabilization/Solidification and Reuse On-Site
❖ Soil Washing and Reuse On-Site
❖ Selective Remediation & Capping On-Site with Usage Restrictions
Wood Posts/Fencing
Hart Crowser will evaluate alternative disposal facilities for both the California
regulated and non-California regulated wood posts and fencing materials. Costs
associated with segregating the materials, transportation and disposal fees will be
presented and compared.
All remedial alternatives will be evaluated with technical considerations based on
operational experiences and implementation costs. Hart Crowser will choose the
preferred remedial treatment option based on the project objective related to final site
usages and overall estimated costs.
Remedial Activities
Hart Crowserwill describe in technical detail with layoutfigures the remedial activities
_recommended for the site. This will include an outline of permits and notifications that
the remediation contractor will need to obtain to.complete the.scope of work. The .
Action Plan will direct the contractor as to where soil excavation should take place and
where stockpiling of soil should occur. In addition, Hart Crowser will provide
guidelines for the following:
❖ Air monitoring;
❖ Removal of asphalt and concrete, and aboveground structures;
❖ Stockpile management- soils and wood materials;
❖ Backfilling and compaction;
❖ Disposal of impacted soils and wood post/fencing materials, including
manifesting; and
❖ Equipment decontamination.

JN 10-100972.001 • 11 • December 20, 2000 i
. i
Proposal for a Focused And Remedial Work Plan
Former Gun Range Within Huntington Central Park
A. Land Use Compatibility
RBF Consulting will analyze the relationship of the project to all applicable ordinances
and planning policies.The review will be based,in part,upon the Mater Environmental
Impact Report for Maser Plan of Recreation Uses for.Central Park, SCH #97091007,
certified August 2, 1999 and City ordinances and policies including: 1) the.City of
Huntington General Plan,and 2)the City of Huntington Beach Zoning Map,Municipal
Code and environmental data available from the City of Huntington Beach,and County
of Orange. The policy review will include all goals and objectives contained in the
City'sGeneral Plan. This level of detail isconsistentwith recent environmental reviews
conducted by the City.
RBF Consulting will evaluate the appropriateness of the project in comparison to
surrounding uses. The analysis would include a consistency review of the project to
the General Plan and zoning requirements. Environmental plans applicable for the
project area will be studied including the Air Quality Management Plan, the County
Regional Transportation Plan, the County Solid Waste Management Plan and other
Policy documents, as deemed appropriate. RBF Consulting will identify and analyze
the consistencies and potential inconsistencies of the project with the surrounding uses
(i.e., Ocean View Estates Mobile Homes and Orange County Transfer Station). RBF
Consulting intends to utilize information available from the City of Huntington Beach,
as well as the NOP process and Public Scoping Session to identify particular concerns
and any potential for public controversy. In addition, RBF Consulting will discuss the
intensification of uses on-site and identify potential project and cumulative impacts to
nearby residences and other sensitive uses. RBF Consulting will recommend mitigation
measures to reduce potential impacts to the extent feasible.
B. Geology and Soils(including Remedial Work Plan)
RBF Consulting will address potential impacts to geology,soils and seismicity based on
available information, including the geotechnical evaluation (based on information
contained within the MEIR, prepared by Scott Magorien, CEG), the U.S. Geology
Survey, U.S. Division of Mines and Geology data(geology and seismic maps),and U.S.
Soils Conservation Service Soil Survey maps. The analysis will identify existing
regional and site specific geology and soils constraints (such as compressible soils,
landslide hazards,disruptions,displacements,compaction,or over-covering of the soil,
and areas subject to subsidence), areas potentially subject to significant grading
impacts, seismic hazards, existing topography, landform modifications, wind and/or
water erosion potential of the soils on the.Project site and surrounding area and slope
instability. Based on the results of the geotechnical evaluation, RBF Consulting will
recommend mitigation measures to reduce potential impacts to the extend feasible,
such as erosion control criteria and grading requirements, to ensure consistency with
the grading standards/policies. RBF Consulting will incorporate the findings and
recommended measures identified within the Remedial Work Plan (refer to Task 1.4).
C. Air Quality
RBF Consulting will provide an air quality assessment of proposed on-site uses within
the air quality section of the EIR. The existing setting discussion would provide a
description of the local climate, South Coast Air Basin, monitored pollutants and their
JN 10-100972.001 • 12 • December 20,2000
Proposal for a Focused EIR and Remedial Work Plan
Former Gun Range Within Huntington Central Park
levels, the attainment status of criteria pollutants and a summary of the applicable air
quality and growth documents from the air district. Significance criteria as established
by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) would also be
described. The impact analysis would include quantified emissions for both short-term
(construction) and long-term (operation) project impacts based on the URBEMIS7G
computer model or other model approved for use by the SCAQMD. The effectiveness
of recommended mitigation measures should be quantified and the residual emissions
after mitigation described.
D. Noise
A technical noise evaluation will evaluate potential noise impacts of the proposed
Project, focusing on short-term construction noise, long-term changes in noise levels
in the Project area due to traffic changes along area roadways and changes.in ambient
noise levels associated with increased on-site activity. The analysis would focus on
noise issues associated with construction in areas of close proximity to area residents.
This EIR section will specifically address impacts associated with the Project to noise
sensitive uses in close proximity to the site.
Existing Conditions
RBF Consulting will identify relevant existing conditions, including review of
applicable planning documents such as the General Plan, Zoning Code, and Noise
Ordinance. RBF Consulting will conduct ambient noise measurements at up to four
(4)locations,to establish the present average sound levels for potentially affected areas
(15-minute Leq readings will be taken using a Type I rated sound level meter).
Vehicular Traffic
Based on trip generation and vehicle mix assumptions provided by the City/County,the
noise analysis will address potential increases in noise levels along the adjacent
roadway portions associated with construction and operational traffic. Distances to the
65 CNEL (Community Noise Equivalent Level) will be projected, based on the
aforementioned information,and the FHWA Highway Noise Prediction Model(RD-77-
108), which is the widely accepted method of evaluating roadway noise impacts.
Particular attention will be given to Gothard Street, Goldenwest Street, and Ellis
Avenue which may potentially experience traffic increases and noise elevations on
existing and proposed sensitive uses due to the project.
Stationary Noise Sources
Noise levels associated with the proposed project will be calculated for areas located
along the boundary of the project site. These calculations will be derived from
accepted industry interpretations of noise propagation and will be entirely based on
design specifications provided by the project applicant.
Mitigation
Project noise impacts will be assessed based on total increases in the ambient noise
level and potential exceedances of City standards. RBF Consulting will provide tables
to identify potential Project noise impacts,and identify mitigation measures necessary'
JN 10-100972.001 • 13 • December 20, 2000
Proposal for a Focused EIR and Remedial Work Plan
Former Gun Range Within Huntington Central Park
to achieve the City of Huntington Beach noise standards. This mitigation will consist
of preliminary design recommendations,and is not intended as a design-level analysis.
Potential impacts of project mitigation will be briefly discussed.
E. Utilities and Service Systems
RBF Consulting will contact potentially affected agencies to identify relevant existing
conditions, project impacts and recommended mitigation measures. The discussion
will focus on the potential alteration of existing facilities, extension or expansion of
new facilities and the increased demand on services based on the proposed land uses. j
RBF Consulting will evaluate the ability of the project area to receive adequate service
based on City and County standards and, where adequate services are not available,
will identify the effects of inadequate service and recommended mitigation measures.
Issues expected to be discussed will include water service, community sewage
disposal, police protection,fire protection, schools, parks, gas and electricity.
RBF Consulting will devote special attention to the following potential significant
project impacts: 1)water availability and community needs,conservation methods and
use of reclaimed water;2) increased sewage capacity needs and treatment;3) possible
inadequate response time for police;4)fire hazards and possible inadequate response
time;and 5)gas and electrical usage. Based on agency responses and RBF Consulting's
extensive experience with similar projects, RBF Consulting will recommend mitigation
measures to substantially reduce or avoid potential impacts.
F. Aesthetics
RBF Consulting will characterize the existing aesthetic environment and visual
resources, including a discussion of views within the site and views from surrounding
areas to the site,particularly from the adjacent uses. Grading impacts will be addressed
based on changing on-site aesthetics visible from surrounding roadways and locations.
RBF Consulting will incorporate discussion of architectural and design specifications
pursuant to the City's Municipal Code. Mitigation measures such as perimeter
landscaping, screening and setbacks,as determined necessary, will be recommended
to reduce the significance of potential impacts. Site photographs will be provided
which will show on-site and surrounding views. This section will analyze potential
view impairments to adjacent uses as a result of Project implementation. The
compatibility of.the Project to the surrounding area will be reviewed. As an optional
task, RBF Consulting could provide realistic computer-generated renderings of the
proposed project.
RBF Consulting will also address impacts due to the introduction of light and glare
associated with the development of the proposed Project. This analysis will include a
light and glare impact discussion on neighboring sensitive uses from street lights,
vehicle headlights, building lights, etc. RBF Consulting will review and incorporate
existing City policies and guidelines regarding light and glare for inclusion within the
EIR. RBF Consulting will recommend mitigation measures to reduce potential aesthetic
and light and glare impacts to the maximum extent possible.

CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
INTER-DEPARTMENTAL COMMUNICATION
HUNTINGTON BEACH
TO: Mary Beth Broeren,Senior Planner,Planning
FROM: Jim B. Engle, Director, Community Services
DATE: November 6,20
SUBJECT: GUN RANGE-HANSON RECYCLYING FACILITY
City Council carried over the hiring of a consultant to prepare the gun range environmental
documentation as well as address the lead remediation plan. At that time,a question was asked
relative to the temporary or permanent status of the recycling center. The Hanson Recycling
Facility is currently on the site identified as the future home of the sports complex on a
temporary basis. It is being proposed for relocation to the gun range as a temporary ooReration.
The gun range site is a part of Huntington Central Park (HCP). Ultimately,the city will have to
find a permanent site for this facility.
Staff is currently exploring options including the possibility of relocating it on a permanent
basis to the Orange County Transfer Station. The Orange County Transfer Station has potential
in assisting the city in meeting its recycling obligations not only for the asphalt,concrete,etc. at
Hanson Recycling Center,but would also help the city in its efforts to recycle green waste. The
Orange County Transfer Station also houses the day-laborer operation.
In conclusion,the gun range site within HCP is a temporary site for the recycling center and city
staff is seeking a permanent home for this facility outside of the park.

CITY OF HUNTI NGTON BEACH
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMUNICATION
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Via: Ray Silver, City Administrator
From: Robert F. Beardsley, Director of Public Works
Date: October 25, 2000
Subject: Retention of the Hanson Recycling Facility in Central Park
This is in response to the question raised by Councilmember Harman at the October 16, 2000
City Council meeting concerning the future of the Hanson Recycling Facility located in Central
Park.
1. The Hanson facility is a key element in our current waste management plan, a plan that
was adopted in response to the California Integrated Waste. Management Act of 1989
(Assembly Bill 939). Under AB 939, local jurisdictions are required to divert 50% of
Waste streams from landfills or transformation facilities by the end of this year or.face a
penalty of up to $10,000 per day in fines.
2. Recently the California Integrated Waste Management Board approved a new "base
year" which credited the City of Huntington Beach with a 63% waste diversion
calculation. The Hanson facility is a key component of this calculation providing 18% of .
our 63% diversion rate. Without the facility it would be difficult to comply with the AB 939
mandate (see the attached Communication dated October 10, 2000).
3. The Hanson facility was located in Central Park over twenty years ago because the site
was available and easily accessible. It has grown in importance because of AB 939.
Currently; the Real Estate Services division of Administrative Services is working in
conjunction with Community Services and the Hanson owners to facilitate a relocation o
the tacility. In the past, Public Works has advocated acquisition of the old County o_f
Orange transfer station site (long closed) for the proposed relocation. This would be the
test way to fulfill both AB 939 and the Central Park Master Pan (see the attached
Communication dated March 15, 1999).

Public Comments
All speakers congratulated newly elected Mayor Pam Julien Houchen, Mayor Pro Tern Debbie
Cook, and Councilmember Connie Boardman.
Linda Moon, President, Amigos de Bolsa Chica, expressed her pride for a City Council that
understands the importance of protecting the Bolsa Chica wetlands and of preserving its legacy
for future generations.
Doris J. Rondeau, Board Liaison, Village Court Board of Directors distributed a handout and
requested that Council honor its alleged ten-year old promise of providing median landscaping
improvements on Main Street between the intersections of Delaware and Huntington Streets.
Discussion between Council and city staff disclosed that:
1. The Public Works Department has had ongoing contact with the speaker over the last two
years, during which $15,000 had been spent towards a sprinkler system as the first step
towards this goal;
2. It is the function of the infrastructure improvements program to address the need for median
landscaping throughout the city; and
3. it is unlikely that this unfunded project will be completed before the next budget cycle which
will be in the Spring of 2001.
Eileen Murphy spoke relative to the item on Agenda regarding the settlement Agreement
between the City/Redevelopment Agency, Coastal Commission and Mayor Corporation. Ms.
Murphy urged Council to approve a provision for ample buffer zones around the Little Shell
wetland preserve.
Joey Racano encouraged the "spirit of cooperation"that he said has been fostered between the
city and the community with regard to the Bolsa Chica, especially the recent Coastal
Commission action to lower the bench. He reiterated the previous speaker, Ms. Murphy's
request for the need of a buffer to preserve Little Shell. Mr. Racano stated that the traffic control
appurtenances installed next to the Little Shell wetlands are unacceptable, as they spill lighting
that is detrimental to the preserve. He cautioned against urban runoff; that the peat bogs.are
subject to liquefaction. Mr. Racano informed Council that Brookhurst Street and Pacific Coast
Highway was an epicenter during the 1933 earthquake, stating he regarded the entire south
east Huntington Beach area as toxic.
Norm Westwell spoke in opposition to the "sleeping in vehicles" ordinance on the agenda,
recommending its elimination altogether. Mr. Westwell announced his website for civic
involvement: modern public.com.
Gary Bernard requested the immediate cessation of what he perceives as "archaeological digs"
for artifacts and human remains taking place in the Bolsa Chica Mesa burial grounds.
Mayor Julien Houchen directed the speaker to the Planning Director Zelefsky to address the
issue.
Mary Antonelli inquired about the Bolsa Chica mesas, where she states sacred ground
including burial sites are being destroyed during the present Sandover construction project.
Ms. Antonelli stated that answers are needed.
(8) December 4, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 8
Don McGee informed Council that he will concede that the past election apocalypse he
predicted did not materialize. Mr. McGee warned about national-level political activity,
expressed as opposition to the Republican Party.
Jim Erwin spoke in opposition to Ed Laird's property owners' Charter Amendment petition
being circulated. Mr. Erwin expressed his fear that he is being priced out of the community,
stating that his purpose for coming was to inform Council of the rent-gouging taking place
throughout the city.
Diane Heyden, Fourth of July Executive Board Member, stated she is speaking on its behalf in
favor of the revision/extension of the Fourth of July parade route on the agenda. She stated
that her express purpose in addressing Council is to clarify that the intent of the Board is not to
commercialize the event but to obtain title sponsorship for the city and increase the parade's
entertainment value. Ms. Heyden informed Council that Tommy Hilfiger, the title sponsor of the
last two years is not willing to renew its contract due to the city's lack of commitment to reroute
and televise an ocean backdrop of Pacific Coast Highway, which would reposition the parade
for good marketing purposes.
Tim Geddes informed Council that he lives a half a mile from the 1933 earthquake epicenter
that the previous speaker Mr. Racano described. Mr. Geddes commented favorably upon the
new female majority created by the makeup of the present City Council membership. He stated
that he is a former high school teacher, but that he remains active through introducing civics into
its social studies curriculum. Mr. Geddes remarked that it is his duty to serve youth in the
community, and that he finds it imperative for the new Council to represent all its constituents
including young citizens.
Pat Rogers furnished her business affiliations with several community organizations including
the distinction of having been the first woman to join the local Kiwanis Club and as Mall
Manager for the Huntington Center. She requested action towards revitalization of the mail to
renew its reputation as the "pride of Orange County." Ms. Rogers provided a brief background
behind the decline of the Huntington Center Mall, which began with the exodus of the J. C.
Penney's Department Store. She stated that she wished to correct the perception of those who
have an unfavorable view of the actions taken by the participants in the current redevelopment
process.
Steve Gullage, President of the Huntington Beach Mobile Home Owners Association, informed
Council that his purpose for speaking was to alert the city about Ed Laird's anti-renters' Charter
Amendment petition. He stated that the initiative being circulated is going to deny renters the
right to contest unfair increases by property owners who will be able to raise mobile home rents
without fear of legal recourse. Mr. Gullage rebutted the claims being made that the initiative
purports to protect property rights, and that in truth it only seeks to destroy mobile home owners'
rights. He announced that any individuals who may have inadvertently signed the petition may
have their names removed by writing to the City Clerk's Office.
Jan Vandersloot spoke in opposition to the method by which the Waterfront Development
Settlement Agreement in the Bolsa Chica Land Trust v. Coastal Commission pending litigation
case had been handled. Dr. Vandersloot stated that the item was not properly agendized. He
informed Council that Coastal Development Permit 97-15 will allow Pacific View Avenue to cut
through the tip of Little Shell, which is supposedly deed-restricted. Dr. Vandersloot reiterated
the request of previous speakers, requesting that the Settlement Agreement voted upon and
(9) December 4, 2000 -Council/Agency Minutes - Page 9
approved in closed session be amended to 1) include buffer zones for the Little Shell preserve,
which could be in the form of sycamore trees; 2) adjust the lighting on Beach Boulevard and
Pacific View Avenue to rectify the detrimental effects it would have on the wetlands; and 3)
address the urban runoff problem as described by the previous speaker, Mr. Racano.
Dr. Vandersloot stated he is in favor of retaining appeal rights both on the CDP and the
Settlement Agreement, inquiring when it was signed, and if the deed has been recorded, and by
whom.
Jim Martin spoke in opposition to the item on the agenda relative to the proposed relocation of
the Hanson Recycling Center to the old gun range site, as inappropriate land use. He conveyed
his opinion that since it is not connected with park or recreational use the land will revert back to
the county. Mr. Martin stated that he is opposed to the use of Redevelopment Agency funds,
and that the private sector should be involved in the process. He felt that the Police Officers'
Association was let off the hook, as they are the previous tenants who had benefited from the
gun range but are not being considered to be responsible.for the cleanup and remediation of
lead contamination.

(City Council) Continued to January 2001 — Directed Staff to Institute a Policy for Naming
Commemorative Monuments and Provide an Artist's Rendering Using Urban Design
Guidelines for a Statue of War Hero, Marine Colonel Arthur A. Poindexter at the Central
Library in Huntington Central Park (East of Main Entrance) (130.55)
The City Council considered a communication from the Community Services Department
requesting approval of the concept of honoring resident and war. hero, Marine Colonel
Arthur A. Poindexter with a monument placed to the east of the main entrance of Central
Library, next to the water fountain in Huntington Central Park. Private donations will be secured
to design, purchase, and install the monument.
Councilmember Boardman requested the item be removed from the Consent Calendar for
separate discussion. She inquired about the criteria being used in the selection process.
Councilmember Boardman noted that the staff report reads approval in concept, ascertaining
that there is no artist's rendering. She asked how much flexibility there is in adding other
individuals' names to the monument for honoring them in this manner.
Councilmember Bauer recommended that consistent criteria be used to select honorees of all
types —not only military heroes—for singling out. Councilmember Bauer reminded Council that
it recently approved the city's Urban Design Guidelines for public art and suggested that in
addition, staff may want to look to the Allied Arts Board for a determination of the artistic merit of
the design yet to be rendered.
Councilmember Garofalo stated his belief that proponents of the project would not mind
deferring the item. He stated that what he saw as important was the follow-through staff had
taken to obtain public input; working through the process from the Community Services
Commission which made a unanimous decision to move forward, followed by the approval of a
subcommittee, and ending with the consensus of the Library Board.
Councilmember Garofalo announced that there is an unprecedented national movement to
recognize World War II veterans. Councilmember Garofalo furnished his rationale for the
selection of Marine Colonel Arthur A. Poindexter. He pointed out that Colonel Poindexter had
not been a warrior but a peacekeeper; by vocation a teacher and a humanitarian.
Councilmember Garofalo stated that Colonel Poindexter was a Second Lieutenant when Bataan
fell during which time he literally threw hand grenades into the ocean to stave off invasionary
forces.
Mayor Pro Tern Cook requested that a policy be instituted in order to prevent the resultant
outcome of creating a "monument row" in Huntington Central Park. Mayor Pro Tern Cook
provided further reasoning including having the ability to add names to the monument.
(12) December 4, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 12
A motion was made by Garofalo, second Boardman to defer the item until January 2001 for a
policy outlining criteria for commemorative monuments and an artist's rendering relative to this
proposal using Urban Design Review Board guidelines. The motion carried by the following roll
call vote:
AYES: Green, Boardman, Cook, Julien Houchen, Garofalo, Dettloff, Bauer

(City Council) Continued to a Date Uncertain — Formation of a Standing Committee to
Research the Feasibility of a Redevelopment Study and Discuss with the South East
Neighborhood Property Owners and At- Large Community Potential Alternatives to
Redevelopment Funding for Area Improvements in the Vicinity of the ASCON Superfund
Property/AES Generating Plant at Beach Boulevard, Hamilton Avenue, Magnolia Street and
Pacific Coast Highway (400.20)
The City Council considered a communication from the Economic Development Department
transmitting the following Statement of Issue: The City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
has previously reviewed the Southeast Coastal Industrial Area Redevelopment Feasibility Study
report, dated October 5, 1999, in which it was demonstrated that this area be designated as a
new redevelopment project area. Economic Development staff has prepared the necessary
documents for the City Council to adopt a resolution designating this "redevelopment survey area"
as the first step in considering establishment of the Southeast Coastal Project Area.
Councilmember Boardman informed Council that she requested separate discussion of the item
to inquire how much the consultant would be paid. Economic Development Director David Biggs
responded that it would be around $170,000 or$180,000, to which Councilmember Boardman
related her discomfort with the use of Redevelopment Agency funds.
Considerable discussion held disclosed there was a concurrence among many Councilmembers
who had attended a meeting with members of the South East Huntington Beach Neighborhood
Association (SEHBNA) and other property owners, and that the community in general is not in
support of designating the site as a Redevelopment Agency Project Area. if
Councilmember Garofalo pointed to the staff report where the consultant, RSG named the four f

fundamental goals being used as the rationale for the proposal.
Councilmember Dettloff requested naming other financial tools that may be used to facilitate the
I
implementation of various programs and plans for cleanup and remediation of certain properties
relative to adopting the area into the city's Specific Plan including Robert London Moore's
property, Mills Land and Water Company; the AES purchase of the power plant; and the Nesi-
Ascon toxic waste dumpsite. Councilmember Dettloff expressed the concern that the public may
hold out false hopes of alternative funding available other than Redevelopment Agency monies.
Further discussion ensued regarding facilities in the area that are not mandated by law and will
therefore not be considered for subsidization.
Councilmember Garofalo inquired if the Redevelopment Agency has ever financed projects other
than retail. Economic Development Director Biggs responded that the funding source has been
used for industrial and commercial developments and in the rehabilitation of encyclopedia lots, as
(13) December 4, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 13
well as for stand-alone residential projects such as the Pacific Villas Condominiums, an affordable
housing complex at Beach Boulevard and Talbert Avenue.
Councilmember Green agreed that the area is in severe blight, and expressed his surprise that
the residents do not see the opportunity for clean up, with Redevelopment Agency money being
the only option.
Mayor Julien Houchin stated that the item may have been prematurely agendized and agreed with
City Administrator Silver that the formation of a permanent standing committee and not a rotating
committee, as well as further dialogue with the SEHBNA are both in order.
Mayor Pro Tem Cook expressed the opinion that she is more optimistic in the belief that realistic
alternatives could be found without resorting to redevelopment, which she does not see as a
viable answer. Mayor Pro Tern Cook stated that she would prefer to see the consultant dollars
used instead for landscaping to ease the admittedly blighted state of the area.
A motion was made by Garofalo, second Green to continue to a future date after the formation
of a standing committee to meet with the South East Neighborhood Homeowners Association
and other property owners in the community-at-large to discuss the feasibility of establishing a
Redevelopment Agency Project Area and alternatives to redevelopment funding for area
improvements. The motion carried by the following roll call vote:

Item Re: (1) a Better Definition of Site Reuse (Permanent and Temporary); (2) Adherence
to Measure C Requirements; and (3) Determination Whether Open Space Deed
Restrictions Prohibit Relocation of the Hanson Recycling Center (600.10)
The City Council considered a communication from the Community Services Department and
the Planning Department requesting to enter into a Professional Services Contract, in the
amount of$130,553, with RBF Consulting for the preparation of an Environmental
Documentation and a Remedial Work Plan for the closed gun range site.
The City Council also considered the two following communications included in the agenda
packet in response to the question raised by former Mayor Pro Tern Tom Harman at the
October 16, 2000 City Council meeting concerning the future of the Hanson Recycling Facility
located in Central Park: Communication received in the City Clerk's Office on November 8, 2000
is included in the agenda packet. The communication is written to the Planning Department
from the Community Services Department dated November 6, 2000 and titled Gun Range—
Hanson Recycling Facility. Correspondence attached written to the City Administrator from the
Public Works Director Beardsley dated October 25, 2000 and titled Retention of the Hanson
Recycling Facility in Central Park.

( ) 9 Y 9
Councilmember Boardman requested that this item be pulled for separate discussion due to her
concerns over a potential violation of Measure C requirements relative to the duration of the
temporary location of the Hanson Recycling Center on the site of the former gun range.
Councilmember Boardman referred to an e-mail she received from Mr. Jim Martin that the City
Clerk had announced earlier in the meeting as a Late Communication. The communication
dated December 4, 2000 transmitted Mr. Martin's objection to the item, requesting that it be
pulled for further discussion. The communication is titled Item E-4 Contract for Consulting
Services for Gun Range Cleanup & Reuse, and outlines the concerns expressed by Mr. Martin
at the Public Comments portion of the meeting.
Mayor Pro Tern Cook requested that staff investigate as to whether there is a deed restriction
on the transfer property station along the premises. She also requested to find out the amount
of the lease that the Hanson Recycling Center would be paying for the proposed temporary
relocation.
Councilmember Bauer reiterated the foregoing issues as cause for deferring the item, and
added a further concern regarding the potential obligation by the previous tenant, the Police
Officers' Association, of cleanup of the gun range due to lead contamination on the site.
Community Services Director Ron Hagan clarified that lead residual from gun range use is
considered normal "wear and tear" in the POA contract and that the city is responsible and can
not bring litigation against the Police Officers' Association.
Community Services Director Hagan informed Council that if the gun range site can not be used
for temporary relocation, the city may have to terminate the recycling center operation that
meets 20% of the recycling needs mandated by law. Community Services Director.Hagan
stated that the recycling facility is currently on the proposed site of the Huntington Central Park
Sports Complex.
Community Services Director Hagan clarified that the scope of work is for cleanup and
remediation only, replying to an inquiry regarding other possible reuses of the property such as
a dog park or a picnic area which would go back to Council for approval as they require a
separate feasibility study and additional permits and environmental impact reports.
A motion was made by Garofalo, second Dettloff to: 1. Approve and authorize the Mayor and
City Clerk to execute the Professional Services Contract between the City of Huntington Beach
and RBF Consulting for the Preparation of Environmental Documentation and Remedial Work
Plan for Reuse of the Former Gun Range in Huntington Central Park as amended to remove
approval of relocation by the Hanson Recycling Center (see item 3(c) below) and
2. Authorize the Director of Planning to expend $150,000 to cover the contract cost of$130,553;
and 3. Direct staff to return with an Administrative Item addressing (a) a more comprehensive
definition of site reuse; and a (b) determination if adherence to Measure C requirements are
satisfied; and (c) whether open space deed restrictions prohibit the relocation of the Hanson
Recycling Center both addressing the concerns outlined in the.Late Communication from
Mr. Jim Martin dated November 6, 2000 and titled Gun Range— Hanson Recycling Facility, and
(d) provide the lease amount on the Hanson Recycling Facility; and (e) an investigation if there
is a deed restriction on the transfer station property on the premises. The motion carried by the

(City Council) Deferred from November 20, 2000 -Approved Amendment No. 1 to Lease
Agreement Between the City and Alice Gustafson, DBA Breakfast in the Park in Huntington
Central Park (600.35)
The City Council considered a communication from the Administrative Services Department
requesting Council to approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute Amendment
No. 1 to Lease Agreement between the City of Huntington Beach and Alice Gustafson, Doing
Business as Breakfast in the Park. ,
Councilmember Boardman requested the removal of this item from the Consent Calendar to
inquire about concerns regarding the agreement relative to (1) the reason for the short lease term
since it is her belief that the duration is usually for a ten-year period; 2) how much over the
$20,000 the city would allow for a reduction in the lease; and (3) if the restaurant will be closed
during maintenance and repairs.
Community Services Director Ron Hagan responded that keeping the lease short keeps options
open.
Acting Administrative Services Director Clay Martin added that typically, food dispensing
operations of this type have a five year lease term; but in the case of Alice's Breakfast in the Park
renewing a two-year lease is important since the property may need reconstruction. He stated
that this is a factor that has not yet been determined but is under consideration for The Park
Bench Cafe as well as for the subject establishment. He further stated that if reconstruction does
take place the agreement provides that the city will not be required to pay relocation costs due to
the break given in the lease amount.
After having ascertained that Alice's Breakfast in the Park is owned by the same person who in
the past had been a pier concession owner, Mayor Pro Tern Cook stated that she would not
support approval of a short duration of the lease. Mayor Pro Tern Cook informed Council that she
is opting for the customary five year time period.
Councilmember Bauer reminded Council that approximately a year ago he had submitted a
request for staff to look at food dispensing establishments to optimize returns on city revenue.
Councilmember Bauer suggested that Council ought to take advantage of the present situation to
maximize that opportunity, remarking that the building is not viable for a food dispensing operation
and is beyond repair, and cautioning against investing good money after bad.
City Administrator Silver stated that his recommendation would be to approve the recommended
action, stating that there is a contract signed by the property owner in agreement with all the
conditions discussed.
Councilmember Garofalo informed Council that what is missing is a comparison and a series of
alternatives and inquired if the 24-month period of time required for the repairs can be amortized.
A motion was made by Garofalo, second Green to defer the item for 30 days and have staff return
with options to select for the site. The motion failed by the following roll call vote:

(City Council) Adopted Resolution No. 2000-114 -Amendment to. Non-Resident Library
Card Fee to Exempt Non-Resident City Employees from Paying Non-Resident Library Card
Fee (340.20)
The City Council considered a communication from the Library Services Director transmitting the
following Statement of Issue that in order for the nonresident city employees to be exempt from
paying a $25 nonresident library card fee, the City Council must amend the nonresident fee
resolution.
Councilmember Bauer requested that the item be removed for separate discussion because he
does not see the rationale for the request and considers it as discriminatory. He stated that it
excludes other groups, such as senior citizens, preventing them from deriving the benefits of the
waiver.
City Administrator Silver responded that at times staff needs to check out library books for work.
Library Services Director Ron Hayden reported that the Library Board fully supports the proposed
amendment to the resolution.
Councilmember Garofalo suggested that rather than waive fees, and to avoid dealing with the
income stream, city employees should present their employee identification cards.
A motion was made by Garofalo, second Green to request staff to determine if the ID cards can
be legally used.
Councilmember Cook informed Council that she is ready to approve the item, and does not have
a problem with allowing city employees the small "perk" of waiving the nonresident fee.
Councilmembers Garofalo and Green concurred to withdraw their respective motion and second
on the table.
A motion was made by Cook, second Dettloff to adopt Resolution No. 2000-114 - A

(City Council) Approved Modification of Fourth of July Parade Route For Year 2001 to
Include a Section of Pacific Coast Highway for Expansion - Approved Amendment to
Budget Conditioned on Obtaining Title Sponsor by March 30, 2001 (960.30)
The City Council considered a communication from the Community Services Department
transmitting the following Statement of Issue that the City of Huntington Beach Fourth-of July
Executive Board is requesting approval to modify the parade route to include a section of Pacific
Coast Highway in order-to increase.entertainment value and broaden marketing and sponsorship
opportunities.
Councilmember Bauer stated the opinion that the item needs further discussion to learn what has
changed about this proposal that had come before Council last year. The proposal requests the
expansion of the route by shutting down a portion of Pacific Coast Highway for the Fourth of July
Parade. Councilmember Bauer to reminded Council that the event is the busiest day of the year
in regard to impact on traffic.
City Administrator Silver stated two reasons why the proposal was denied last year: 1) that the
previous request came too late in the year to allow for additional police forces; and 2) the issue of
the cost of the expansion.
Upon City Administrator Silver's request, Acting Chief of Police, Captain Jim Cutshaw responded
to Councilmember Bauer's first concern, stating that it has been mitigated since the city is
prepared to garner the assistance of the County Sheriffs Department with minimal lead time.
Captain Cutshaw informed Council that the present concern involves the issuance of permits for
alcohol sales.
Community Services Director Hagan reported that the approval of the request is contingent upon
obtaining a title sponsor who will absorb any additional costs, thus mitigating Councilmember
Bauer's second concern.
Deliberation ensued over a timeframe for obtaining title sponsorship, after which Mayor Julien
Houchen ascertained that March 30, 2001 met with the Councilmembers' approval, including that
of Fire Chief Michael Dolder.
A motion was made by Garofalo, second Dettloff to: 1. Approve as amended to Include
obtaining a title sponsor by March 30, 2001, the proposed parade route revisions for the
2001 Fourth of July Parade; and 2. Given that the Fourth of July Board is successful in
obtaining a title sponsor by March 30, 2001, authorize staff to amend the Fourth of July 2001
budget by the revenue amount received from the title sponsor and the expense amount for the
parade route change. Estimated title sponsorship revenue is between $100,000 and $150,000.
Estimated additional parade route costs are between $15,000 and $30,000. The motion carried

(City Council) Continued to a Date Uncertain for Appointment to be Made to the City
Council Intergovernmental Relations Committee Council for Further Discussion on
Position to be Taken by the City Council on Legislation Pending Before the Congress —
HR 5535 -(Rohrabacher) - Enhancement and Restoration of Coastal Resources (120.70)
The City Council considered the following recommendation by the City Council Intergovernmental
Relations Committee regarding taking a position on pending legislation and authorizing the Mayor
to send letters to the legislators indicating support of HR 5535 (Rohrabacher) to enhance and
restore the coastal resources. (This bill establishes criteria and funding for several programs
designed to protect and restore coastal resources including shoreline protection projects, beach
nourishment, and monitoring of ocean conditions.)
Councilmember Boardman requested removal of this item for separate discussion as she believes
it premature for City Council to take a position on proposal legislation this early in the process.
Councilmember Boardman informed Council that she spoke with a variety of people, and has
concluded that what is being proposed may be questionable, since the construction of artificial
reefs intended to nourish the ocean, could in and of itself cause pollution.
Mayor Pro Tern Cook concurred that Council had insufficient information, stating that she called
five representatives of environmental groups and had been informed that they did not believe
there are co-sponsors on the bill as yet.
Councilmember Garofalo stated that if there is no crisis-driven time the bill can be deferred.
In response to City Administrator Silver's inquiry, Assistant City Administrator William Workman
reported that the portion of HR 55-35 relating to artificial reefs can be removed, otherwise other
cities may position for lobbying and receive the funding.
Councilmember Dettloff offered that Congressman Rohrabacher's motion stems from that fact that
eastern coastal states get most of the money. Councilmember Dettloff consented to wait,
suggesting that a representative be named to discuss the bill with the Intergovernmental Relations
Committee because it has merit.
A motion was made by Dettloff, second Green to continue to a date uncertain for an
appointment to be made to City Council Intergovernmental Relations Committee for further
discussion of HR 5535. The motion carried by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Green, Boardman, Cook, Julien Houchen, Garofalo, Dettloff, Bauer

(City Council/Redevelopment Agency) Approved Closed Session Actions of
November 20, 2000 Re: Coastal Commission Suspension Letter Related to CDP 97-15 as
Properly Posted, Acted Upon and Reported Per Report of City Council-Redevelopment
Agency Closed Session Action Delivered to City/Agency Clerk from the City Attorney/
Agency General Counsel— Direct City/Agency Clerk to Reflect Correct City Council Vote—
Authorize City/Agency Clerk to Sign Deed Restriction if Returned by the County Recorder
(120.80)
The City Council considered a communication from the City/Redevelopment Agency Clerk-
requesting the Council/Agency members to state Redevelopment Agency approval of the
Settlement Agreement and the Open Space/Wetland Preservation and Restoration Deed
Restriction. Action of the Agency is needed due to an error that was made on the Closed
Session Document prepared for the November 20, 2000 agenda. The Closed Session
Document was prepared and The Agenda officially posted as an Exception to the
Ralph M. Brown Act(open meetings) for the City Council; however, City Council sitting as the
Redevelopment Agency in closed session was inadvertently omitted. As this document and
the posted official agenda were deficient it is necessary to remedy the procedure.
The closed session vote on the agreement and deed was reported out incorrectly following the
closed session. It is requested that the vote be corrected so the record of the meeting reflects
the actual vote of 5 ayes, Harman, Garofalo absent, rather than 6 ayes, Garofalo absent.
City Administrator/Executive Director Silver stated that he understood that the Settlement
Agreement has been executed but not recorded. Silver invited City Attorney/Agency General
Counsel Gail Hutton to comment.
City Attorney/Agency General Council Hutton expressed her belief that the Brown Act
requirements had been met relative to the legal posting and agendizing of the item. Hutton
referred to points made in her Late Communication that had been announced earlier by
Brockway dated December 4, 2000 titled Agenda Item F-1 for Council/Agency Meeting of
December 4, 2000. Closed Session Action by City Council/Redevelopment Agency on
November 20, 2000.
City Council/Redevelopment Agency Member Cook dissented; stating her belief that the item
did not meet the exception to the Ralph M. Brown (Open Meetings)Act. Cook stated that the
Settlement Agreement should not have remained a closed session item, rather it should have
been presented in open session, following the-decision in closed session that the city would not
be pursuing litigation against the Coastal Commission.
City/Agency Clerk Brockway clarified the City Council/Redevelopment Agency posting
procedure, stating that the suspension letter had not been properly noticed on the official City
Council/Redevelopment Agency posted agenda.
Council/Agency member Bauer stated that he would support the recommendation set forth as
the City Attorney/Agency General Counsel's memorandum. The City/Agency Clerk
recommended that she be authorized to attest to the deed should the County Recorder return it
for the Agency Certificate and to affix the Agency Seals.
(20) December 4, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 20
Council/Agency member Boardman inquired if the Settlement Agreement was appealable.
Boardman stated that she is going to work to add language addressing proper buffers,
screening of lighting and runoff.
A motion was made by Council/Agency member and Bauer, second Dettloff to 1. Approve the
City Attorney/Agency General Counsel's Recommended Actions set forth in the Late
Communication dated December 4, 2000: (a) That the City Council and Redevelopment Agency
find that their closed session actions on November 20, 2000 regarding the Coastal Commission
Suspension Letter related to CDP 97-15 were properly posted, acted upon, and reported; and
(b) That the City Council and R6development Agency hereby confirm said closed session
actions as more fully described in the Report of Closed Session Action delivered to the
City/Agency Clerk from the City Attorney/Agency General Counsel on November 20, 2000.; and
2. Direct that the City/Agency Clerk prepare the minutes of the November 20, 2000, Council
meeting to reflect the correct City Council vote of 5 ayes and 2 absent (Garofalo, Harman); and
should the Council/Agency members desire the City Clerk to maintain said documents, a motion
to that effect would be in order as Settlement Agreements approved in Closed Session need not
be attested to by the City/Agency Clerk or maintained in the Office of the City Clerk, then: 3.
Approve City Clerk/Agency Clerk to sign the deed restriction should it be returned to the
City/Agency for such action. The motion carried by the following roll call vote:

Ta. Honorable Mayor Julian and City Council Members
SUBJECT: item E-4 CONTRACT FOR CONSULTING SERVICES FOR
GUN RANGE CLEANUP & REUSE .
Inappropriate land use. The relocation of a privately owned recycling operation to the
Gun Flange site is an inappropriate land use on this deeded property.
The deed contains a restriction as follows: This conveyance is made upon the
express conditions that the land conveyed herein shag not be used for any
purpose not directly connected with its operation for park and recreation
purposes for the benefit and use of the public, and any breach of this
condition shall cause the property to revert to the County, which shall have
the right of immediate re-entry upon said property in the event of zany such
breach,
Violates the spirit of Measure C. The Hanson Recycling Center should not be located
or relocated on any park land. Do you really think the residents of HB would approve
this activity in Central Park? Inappropriate projects such as this operation is why I
supported Measure C. You are obligated to develop the area for recreation and park
uses only.
Due to the fact that the relocation of Hanson Aggregates West Inc. HB
Recycling Center to the gun range site would be ills al, this plan
should be deleted from the scope of work in the service contract with
RBF Consulting.
Be Creative - If you want a first class Sports Complex both the POA Combat Training
Gun Range and the Recycling Center have to go. You should consider working with the
private sector in creating some quality visitor serving projects that would be a good fit in
a regional sports park setting and generate income for the City as well.
The POA should pay for the cleanup. The POA Corp. Inc leased the gun range
property for $1,00 per year for 30 years. The POA was the benefactor of all profits
generated at the range- It would seem that they should be responsible for cleanup of the
site not the citizens of HB. What is their responsibility in this matter'?
The public deserves better, a lot better. Please pull Item E-4 for discussion.
I look forward to your comments- JIM MARTIN

I. Introduction
1 Background
The urpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to solicit proposals from qualified
consul is who are interested in being considered for completion of environmental
docume ation and a remedial work plan for the clean-up of a closed gun range and the
relocation f a privately-owned recycling operation to the gun range property in the City
of Huntingto Beach. Both the gun range and the recycling opertion are located within
Huntington Ce tral Park, a regional park owned and maintained by the City of
Huntington Be ac . A Master Environmental Impact Report(MEIR) for portions of
Central Park, inclu ing the subject property, was certified by the City Council on August
2, 1999. Reuse of th gun range was identified as a program level element that would
require supplemental a vironmental review. The recycling operation is being replaced by
a sports complex; its con ' ued operation in the area was not analyzed in the MEIR.
1.2 Project Objecti es
The key objectives in undertakin this project are: 1)to analyze the potential
environmental impacts associated 'th clean-up of the gun range site and prepare the
appropriate level of environmental do umentation, including a mitigation plan; 2)to
analyze the potential environmental im cts of relocating the recycling operation to the
gun range site and identify mitigation me ures to reduce or eliminate these impacts; and
3)prepare a remedial work plan for the cle -up consistent with the appropriate local,
State and Federal agencies' regulations and c ent practices and process it for approval.
1.3 Role of Consultant
The role of the consultant is to bean extension of the ity's staff. The consultant(s) are
expected to keep an open dialogue with staff and to wo closely with staff completing all
project objectives. As an extension of staff, the consul t will be expected to function in
the following capacities:
• Provider of technical information and unbiased recommen ations.

II. Protect Background
2.1 Site Description
The form r gun range site is approximately 4.91 acres in size and is owned by the City of
Huntingto each. The site is designated as Open Space-Park in the General Plan and is
part of the ster Plan of Recreation Uses for Central Park(analyzed in the MElR). The
site was origins owned by the County of Orange and was part of their landfill. When
the landfill close ' the 1960s, the County deeded the property to the City for public park
and recreation.purp es. The Huntington Beach Police Officers Association constructed
the current gun range provements and operated the facility under a 20 year lease from
the City. In 1988 the o al lease expired, and the gun range lease was continued on a
year to year basis. Origin , the improvements included both a public and private
training facility. In the early 990s, it became evident that the range needed rebuilding.
Unstable soil caused by decom z osing landfill was impacting the facility, and the public side
of the facility was closed and de olished due to structural concerns. In 1993 the City
commenced discussions with the Po 'ce Officers Association regarding rebuilding the site.
It was determined that the cost excee•ed available funds. In 1997 the City terminated the
lease due to safety concerns, and the gu range has been closed since. Existing
improvements on the site include several ,uildings, creosote telephone poles which serve
as a fence, rubber tires used as target backs and asphalt(see attached photos). Lead
contamination is prevalent and detailed in the ttached Preliminary Assessment.
2.2 Project Description
The environmental documentation would be required o address two project components:
(1) clean-up of the gun range site and (2)the relocatio of Hanson Aggregates West Inc.
Huntington Beach Recycling Center to the gun range sit
(1) Clean-up of the gun range site would require removal o tructures and asphalt and
compliance with current standards for the removal of lead and ther known contaminants.
The City will rely on the consultant to identify clean-up alternati es. Depending on
current regulations, the City desires that one alternative consider o y removing the larger,
soluble pockets of lead and capping the remaining insoluble materi in place. The
remedial work plan is discussed below.
(2) The Hanson recycling facility is currently located on approximately 2.8 acres northeast
of the gun range and has been in operation at that location since the 1970�s1, Known as
Sully-Miller/Blue Diamond Materials until the 1990s, the company receives\ roken
concrete and asphalt solid waste and processes it into a road base material. T\ a company
recycles 100 percent of the asphalt and concrete that is brought to their facility, They
currently recycle 60,000-75,000 tons per year.
—2— (gA-bb\acMgu—ge)
•
oncrete and asphalt are received from grading and paving, demolition and concrete
c ntractors; landscape businesses and residents. Once a stockpile reaches approximately
25,b 0 to 35,000 tons a portable rock crusher is brought to the site to process the material
for use as road base. The road base meets specifications for a CalTrans Class 2 Base as
well as the Construction Greenbook Crushed Miscellaneous Base,used by LA and
Orange Cbunties. The road base material is then shipped to construction projects. The
portable rock crusher is brought to the site twice a year, and is on-site for three to four
weeks for eaoh use (total of six to eight weeks per year). Hanson's also has a small
amount of pick up business when a loader is available. The operation receives an average
of 30 trucks per day. Trucks range in size from pick-ups to semis. The company uses a
heavy-duty rainbird'style watering system for all traffic areas; water trucks are used
whenever the portable rock crusher is on-site.
Hanson's is open from 7 a.m. to 4 .m. Monday through Friday. Hanson's has one
P P Y g Y
employee on-site full-time.\A staff of three to four is brought in twice a year during
crushing operations. The to4operation area is 330 ft. by 370 ft. It includes an eight ft.
by eight ft. guardhouse/office,portable toilet and conveyors requiring a footprint of
10,000 sq. ft(see attached photos) The guardhouse/office has electrical power and.
phone line but no plumbing. The conveyors operate off gasoline-fueled generators.
Access to the existingHanson o eration and the gun range site is from the same road off
P e g
Gothard. Thus, no change in truck pattems\or access to the site is anticipated. It is also
expected that there will be.no increase.or changee-in operations for Hanson's at the gun
range location. Copies of Hanson's State permits are attached. Hanson's is compiling
information on average daily tonnage which will'be made available to the consultant.
The third component of the project is a remedial work plan for clean-up of the gun range.
P P J `P P
This plan should be prepared concurrently with the environmental documentation for
consistency. It is anticipated that the selected consultant�will engage in the appropriate
level of discussions with affected regulatory agencies so that the environmental
documentation and work plan adequately address potential concerns and result in a viable
clean-up plan. The consultant will be expected to obtain approval of the work plan so
that the City can move directly into the clean-up phase upon certification of the EIR.
-3- (gAmbb\adv\gunrange)
III. coiDe of Services

• Air Quality-equipment emis ions
Noise-due to close proximity planned Sports Complex
• Utilities& Service Systems-pot e tial loss of recycling center
• Aesthetics-due to close proximity f planned Sports Complex
• Cumulative Impacts
The SEIR shall discuss environmental effect in relation to their severity and probability of
occurrence. It shall identify appropriate mitig ion measures to minimize the significant
effects of the proposed project, and an assessme t of whether identified impacts remain
significant after mitigation.
The consultant will be expected to prepare and carry o t the following:

1.1 RES ARCH AND INVESTIGATION
I
RBF Consulting will obtain and review available data for the project area as well as
policy documentation from the City of Huntington Beach,County of Orange,the South j
Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), State and Federal Agencies, the
lSouthern California Association of Governments (SCAG)and all other agencies which
may be affected by the Pr ject. This information, along with environmental data and
information available from "he City and other nearby jurisdictions,will become part of
the foundation of the SEIR an will be reviewed and incorporated into the analysis, as
deemed appropriate.
1.2 AGENCY CONSULTATION
ji
II
As indicated in Section 15083 of CEQA, any public agencies have found that early
consultation solves many potential conflicts Oat could arise in more serious forms later j
in the review process..Although the Notice of Preparation and Public Scoping session i
meeting(referto Task 5.0 regarding public meetings)will provide that opportunity,RBF
Consulting will conduct additional discussions with local, state and federal agencies
which will assist in the early stages of the analysis anc" sue delineation. This scoping
can be an effective way to bring together and resolve th \oncernsof affected federal,
state and local agencies as well as the local community. I

1.3 FIELD RECONNAISSANCE j
, I
As a part of the early scoping for the Project, RBF Consulting will conduct a field study
of the site, reviewing existing land use and environmental conditions nd conducting
a detailed photographic recording of on-site and surrounding uses. ur extensive
video resource capabilities will be utilized so that the entire RBF Consulti Team may i
have readily available site information during the course of the analysis.
1.4 REMEDIAL WORK PLAN
In response to the RFP requirements, RBF Consulting has teamed with Hart Crowser to
prepare the required Remedial Work Plan for the proposed project which will address
the following issue areas as requested by the City.
The production of an approved Remedial Workplan, as requested by the City, will
involve a two-step approach. First, a Remedial Investigation will be performed to
identify the vertical and lateral extent of impacted materials from the firing range
activities and quantify the volume of soil to be remediated on site or disposed off-site.

During this investigation, Hart Crowser will also identify other materials on-site that
may be impacted with lead,or other heavy metals or creosote, such as the wood posts
Cand fencing surrounding the firing berms.
Foll wing submittal of the Final Remedial Investigation Report, Hart Crowser will
obtai concurrence from the Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA), the
probab lead regulatory agency,that firing range impacts to the subject property have
been.ful delineated. Once concurrence has been obtained, the second step in
completin the Remedial Workplan, an Action Plan (AP), will be drafted. The AP will
be a comprehensive document outlining best available technical alternatives and
preferred meth�Iologies for site remediation and .will represent Hart Crowser's
recommended approach for soil and wooden materials.remediation on the property
with potential off-site final disposal. TheAP.will also include estimated budgetary costs
for each remedial optio considered,as well as a detailed_costing forthe recommended
option.
Both the Remedial Investigation and the Action Plan will be drafted in coordination
.with City staff and OCHCA pe sonnel reviews.and comments, in order to expedite the
Remedial Workplan's final approal. In this way,the installation bid documents forthe
most cost-effective and operationaiiy efficient remedial system can be requested from
` the pre-qualified contractors by the tuty.
I Remedial Investigation
The Remedial Investigation will allow Hart rowser to.assess the type, levels, and
extent of heavy-metal impacts (mainly lead, Nopper and zinc) and creosote at the
subject property including the soils and the woogpost/fencing. To accomplish this,
Hart Crowser proposes to complete the following \sks.
❖ Task 1 - Health & Safety Plan (HSP)
❖ Task 2 - Sampling & Analysis Plan (SAP)
❖ Task 3 - Soil Investigation (both berm and flat area.)
❖ Task 4 - Wood Post and Fencing Characterization
❖ Task 5 - Certified Laboratory Analyses
❖ Task 6 - Final Remedial Investigation--Report (findings, conclusions and
recommendations)
Prior to initiating fieldwork,and after meeting with City representatives, Hart Crowser
will contact and meet with OCHCA to present the objectives and over`II rationale of j
the Remedial Investigation. Hart Crowser will detail the proposed scope`of work with
methodology and incorporate OCHCA's recommendations into the final workplan.
Hart Crowser will request written approval of the Sampling and Analysis Plan
(discussed below)from OCHCA and other local regulatory agency, if applicable,prior j
to proceeding with field characterization activities.

Th site-specific Health and Safety Plan (HSP)will address procedures to minimize the
risk f chemical exposures, as.well as physical accidents to on-site workers, and the
surro nding community. Also, the plan.will outline procedures.to prevent onsite
enviro\Mental contamination. The HSP will cover each of the 11 required plan

with completion of.a sign-in s\eet.
Task 2-Sampling&Analysis Plan
The overall purpose of the Sampling Analysis Plan (SAP) will be to describe field
activities that will be undertaken as pa of the Remedial Investigation relating to the
soils (berm and flat area) and the wood p•sts/fencing. The SAP will be composed of
a Field Sampling Plan (FSP)and a Quality As urance/Quality Control Plan(QAPP). The
FSP will describe the.type, location, quantity, and rationale for all samples to be
collected and measurements to be made durRg characterization activities. The FSP
will also address the procedures for locating the ae,pth to the underlying landfill cap so
the investigative work will not disturb the in-place capping materials. The QAPP will
specify the quality assurance and quality control\\objectives, organization, and
functional activities associated with characterization sAmpling.
` Task 3-Soil Invest► a� tion
I
Field Methods '
Characterization of heavy-metal soil.impacts from former firing range activities will be.
I accomplished via push-probe sampleror similar subsurface invasive�enetration system
(i.e. Geoprobe). In this way, no soil cuttings will be generated that v�Ruld require off-
site disposal. As the subject property overlies a former closed landfill; Hart Crowser
( proposes to first place a boring intended to "tag" the upper surface of th a landfill cap
so as to provide a control depth beneath which assessment activities will not be
conducted. This first boring will also be used to collect soil samples and have an
intended target depth of 8 to10-feet below ground surface (bgs).
Soil samples will be collected in 4-ounce glass jars using new stainless steel spoons.
Samples will be properly sealed, labeled,and placed on ice for transportation to a State
certified analytical laboratory. Strict chain-of-custody documentation will be followed
I once samples are relinquished to laboratory personnel. The estimated laboratory turn-
around-time for sample results will be seven to ten working days.

The followingbullet list describes Hart Crowser`s conclusions after reviewing the
g
Preliminary Assessment performed forthe property by Enviroclean Environmental, Inc.
ovember 1998). Each is followed by a discussion of the rationale for additional
in estigation needed to characterize vertical and lateral soil impacts to the property.
❖ The three soil berms on-site have been well characterized for lead.impacts to
feet bgs. However, the have not been evaluated for other common firing
g Y g
range metals-such as copper and zinc. In addition, the vertical extent of
imp cted soils has not been delineated below four feet.
During this Remedial Investigation, Hart Crowser will place a total of six
borings one the berms (one boring per 45 linear feet). These borings will be
driven to 10 feet bgs, with soil samples collected.at,.2-foot intervals beginning
at 2-feet bgs.\This part of the remedial investigation will allow Hart Crowser to
confirm the presence & absence of other coirmon firing range metals in the
berms, as well asdelineate the depth to which soil has been impacted within
the berms.
❖ The flat range area between the shooting positions and the berm has not been
assessed for heavy-metal-impacts. Hart Crowser proposes to grid the flat range
area into individual 30-foot,by 30-foot boxes,with one boring placed per grid.
It is anticipated that the 'area of investigation will be covered with
approximately 22 soil sample location boxes.
All 22 borings will be driven to 6-feet bgs, with soil samples collected at the
surface, 3-feet bgs and 6-feet bgs. This approach is intended to delineate the
vertical and lateral extent of heavy-metal impacts in soils in front and to the
sides of the firing berms.
Task 4- Wood Posts/fencing Characterization j
The Enviroclean Assessment Report makes reference that no investigation/assessment
of the wood posts and fencing surrounding the firing range areas to the rear and to the
sides has been conducted. Hart Crowser proposes to assess these wood materials in
` the following manner:
l� ❖ A visual inspection will identify wood materials that are impregnated with
whole bullets and bullet fragments. These will be identified as California
Regulated Wastes due to the heavy metal content as there is no cost-effective
and technically efficient manner with which to identify and remediate metal
impacts within wood fibers.
I` Those portions of wood posts/fencing that are buried will be classified as
non-California Regulated Wastes and these wood sections will be disposed
of off-site, probably at a certified landfill.
❖ Those wood materials visually identified not to be impacted with heavy,metals
will be sampled and analyzed for creosote levels. This will be perfored by
collecting one non-bullet impacted wood sample from each berm wood

posts/fencing and six non-bullet impacted wood samples from the side wood
posts/fencing of the range. The sampling results will allow Hart Crowser to
quantify the amount of wood posts/fencing to be considered a California i
regulated waste for final off-site disposal options.
Task - Certified Laboratory Analyses
Soil
Hart Crowse will submit, through proper Chain-of-Custody procedures, 30 soil
samples collect from the berm area and 66 soil samples collected from the flat range
larea for laborato analysis. All 99 soil samples will be analyzed for.total extractable
copper(Cu), zinc ( ), and lead (Pb) by EPA Method 60.10. In.addition, the two soil
samples with the high t total lead concentrations collected from the berm area and the
four soil samples with thhhighest lead concentrations collected from the flat range area
will be analyzed for the T i,tle 22 metals by EPA Method 6010. This will be intended
to confirm the presence or absence of elevated levels of other heavy-metals in the soil
and provide the complete m�tals assessment needed for,final off=site disposal.
All reported heavy metal co\ntrations that exceed the soluble threshold limit
I concentration (STLC) by a factor.of 10 but that are below the total threshold limit
concentration (TTLC)will.be analyzed by CAL WETTEST for solubility of metals. The
following table presents the TTLC and STLC'acceptable levels.for copper,lead, and
zinc.

C. Air Quality
I
"RBF Con,sulting will provide an air quality assessment of proposed on-site uses within
the air quality section of the SEIR. The existing setting discussion would provide a
description of.the local climate, South Coast Air Basin, monitored pollutants and their
levels, the-ANinmentstatus.of criteria pollutants and a summary.of the-applicable air
quality and growth.documents from°the.air"district. Significance criteria as established
by the South Coast Air'Quality Management District (SCAQMD)-would also be
described..The impact analysis would include quantified emissions for both short-term '
(construction) and Tong-term (operation) project impacts based.on the URBEMIS7G
computer model or other model approved for.use by the SCAQMD. -The effectiveness
of recommended mitigation measures should be quantified and the.residual emissions
after mitigation described.
D. Noise -
f
A technical noise evaluation will evaluate.potential noise impacts of the proposed ;I
Project, focusing on short-term construction noise,•long-term changes in noise levels
in the Project area due"to:traffic changes along area roadways%and.changes in.ambient
noise levels associated with,increased on-site activity. The analysis would focus on i
noise issues.associated with construction in areas of close proximity to area residents. j
This SEIR section will-specifically add res`impacts associated with the Project to noise
sensitive uses in close proximity to the site.
-Existing Conditions
RBF Consulting will identify relevant existin conditions, including review of
applicable planning documents such as the Gene I Plan, Zoning Code, and Noise
Ordinance. RBF Consulting will conduct ambient n`i se measurements at up to four
(4) locations,to establish the present average sound lev Is for potentially affected areas
(15-minute Leq readings will betaken using a Type Ira d sound level meter).
Truck Traffic
Based on truck trip generation provided b_y the project app 'cant and vehicle mix
assumptions provided by the City/County, the noise analysis ill address potential
increases in noise levels along the adjacent roadway portions also 'ated with truck haul
traffic. Distances to the 65 CNEL (Community Noise Equival t Level) will be
projected, based on the aforementioned information, and the FHW Highway Noise
Prediction Model (RD-77-108), which is the widely accepted meth d of evaluating
roadway noise impacts.Particular attention will be given to Gothard Stre t,G0ldenwest
Street, and Ellis Avenue which may potentially experience substantial tr ffic increases i
and noise elevations on existing and proposed sensitive uses due to the ,roject.
Stationary Noise Sources
Noise levels associated with on-site equipment will be calculated for areas,located
along the boundary of the project site, particularly adjacent to the future sports
complex.These calculations will be derived from accepted industry interpretations of
noise propagation and will be entirely based on design specifications provided by the
project applicant.
