Chapter 3 Comments and Coordination The State Water Resources Control Board (the State Water Board) and Regional Water Quality Control Boards have ongoing efforts to monitor and assess water quality, to prepare the Section 303(d) list, and to develop TMDLs 4 . All the above-mentioned receiving water bodies are on the 2006 303d list. Their pollutants of concerns (POCs) are: pathogens, fecal coliform, total coliform, boron, toxicity and indicator bacteria. The project limits are located in both South Coast and Pitas Point watersheds. The South Coast watershed has no Regional Water Quality Control Board special requirements or concerns, including Total Maximum Daily Loads(TMDL) and pollutant limits. Pitas Point watershed is one of four coastal watershed groups under the Miscellaneous Ventura Coastal Watersheds: Pitas Point, Buenaventura, Oxnard and Ventura Coastal Streams Subwatersheds. These subwatersheds are physically independent from each other. Oxnard is the only subwatershed that currently has an established TMDL for Santa Clara River Estuary/Surfers' Knoll, McGrath State Beach, and Mandalay Beach Coliform and Beach Closures. Environmental Consequences Regarding Total Maximum Daily Loads for Santa Clara River Estuary/Surfers' Knoll, McGrath State Beach, and Mandalay Beach Coliform and Beach Closures, the Department is not a responsible party in TMDL and would not contribute to TMDLs. Avoidance, Minimization and/or Mitigation Measures Avoidance and minimization measures for storm water are accomplished by implementation of approved Best Management Practices (BMPs), which are generally broken down into four categories: Pollution Prevention, Treatment, Construction, and Maintenance BMPs. The Department’s Storm Water Program contains guidance for implementation of each of these BMPs. Certain projects may require installation and maintenance of permanent controls to treat storm water. Selection and design of permanent project BMPs is refined as the project progresses through the planning stage and into final design. Construction Site BMPs for this project shall include the following categories: 4 TMDLs are documents that describe a specific water quality attainment strategy for a water body and related impairment identified on the 303(d) list. TMDLs may include more than one water body and more than one pollutant. The TMDL defines specific measurable features that describe attainment of the relevent water quality standards. TMDLs include a description of the total allowable level of the pollutant(s) in question and allocation of allowable loads to individual sources or groups of sources of the pollutantas of concern. 130 IS/EA VEN-SB US101 HOV Project

This section also discusses geology, soils, and seismic concerns as they relate to public safety and project design. Earthquakes are prime considerations in the design and retrofit of structures. The Department’s’ Office of Earthquake Engineering is responsible for assessing the seismic hazard for the Department’s projects. The current policy is to use the anticipated Maximum Credible Earthquake(MCE) readings from young faults in and near California. The MCE is defined as the largest earthquake that can be expected to occur on a fault over a particular period of time. Affected Environment A preliminary Geotechnical Report was prepared by the Department’s Division of Engineering Services, Office of Geotechnical Design–South 1 on May 14, 2008. The report is based upon literature research, review of the previous field investigations, and a field review performed on April 10, 2008. The proposed project area is located within the Transverse Ranges. The Transverse Ranges (or more accurately, the Los Angeles Ranges) are a group of mountain ranges of southern California, one of the various North American Coast Ranges that run along the Pacific coast from Alaska to Mexico. They begin at the southern end of the California Coast Ranges and lie between Santa Barbara and San Diego counties. They derive the name Transverse Ranges due to their East-West orientation, as opposed to the general North-South orientation of most of California's coastal mountains, thereby transversing them.
