Pasadena Water and Power
Arborist Report
8
• 160 trees surveyed with canopies within 30 feet of pipeline
• Tree rating based on distance to pipeline, exposed surface roots, lifting of soil and pavement, leaning
• Roots seek water, oxygen, nutrients and soil space
• Most roots grow in top 18” soil
• Approved West Route - 58 trees
• Alternative West Route - 37 trees
• Less than 3% roots in trench zone
![Page 9: Pasadena Water and Power · 2017-09-20 · Pasadena Water and Power Arborist Report 8 • 160 trees surveyed with canopies within 30 feet of pipeline • Tree rating based on distance](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050514/5f9ed0eb2ce906369b75d8b2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Rendering of Laurel St. Looking East
9
Arborist findings - including the Canary Island Pine trees on Laurel • Canary Island Pines not impacted • Trees Less than 3% of the tree roots
expected in the trench zone • Tree roots limited in roads - soil
compaction, lack of water & oxygen • More trees along the approved
routes (58 vs. 37)

Pasadena Water and Power
• Environmental impacts of the Approved & Alternative Routes less than significant > Temporary issues: noise, traffic, dust, limited
access to properties during construction > Approved route impacts residents > Alternative route impacts recreational users near
Rose Bowl
• If Alternative Route Selected
> CEQA will have to be revised and approved by City Council - 4 to 5 months process

• Cost estimates factor in: > Limited work hours (some streets): 8:30 am - 3:30 pm > Tree and tree roots > Existing utilities and residential services
• Approved west route - 2,900 feet > $1.32 million - estimated cost
• Alternative west route - 5,200 feet > $2.23 million - estimated cost

Minimize Pipeline Construction Impacts
12
• Location of utilities during design • Contractor will locate utilities &
services prior to pipeline excavation • Adjusted design before construction • Experienced contractor • Full-time construction inspection • Full-time certified arborist • Advanced notices to residents • Limited work hours in small streets • Construction Staging and Traffic
Management Plan • Noise and dust control

Geologic Hazards - Liquefaction
13
• Alternative Route - longer pipeline in potentially liquefiable zones > Liquefaction - saturated
loose sandy soils can lose strength during an earthquake that causes settlement of the ground
> Storing water behind Devil’s Gate Dam may increase water table

Construction Impacts
• Approved West Route > 10 weeks > Temporary impact to residents’ driveways - 1 to
3 days
• Alternative West Route > 14 weeks > One lane accessible for vehicular and bicyclists

Evaluation Criteria
Linda Vista Community
Approved Route
Alternative Route
Environmental Impacts = = Potential Impacts to Trees (& Canary Island Pines) + Geohazard Conditions - Liquefaction + Construction Challenges + Capital Cost * + Operations and Maintenance Cost + Schedule Impact + Potential Loss of State Funding + * The alternative route is more costly than the approved by ~$1 million Overall the Approved Route in the EIR is superior to the Alternative Route + Indicates the better option

Raymond Basin Salt & Nutrient Management Plan
17
• Raymond Basin Salt & Nutrient Management Plan > Assimilative Capacity (AC) = Objective limit – Existing conditions > State – A single project is not to exceed 10% of the AC > Up to 10% of salt & nutrient (“load”) in recycled water is projected to
reach the water table > AC for the Monk Hill Sub-basin is 225 acre feet per year (AFY) of load
& the Pasadena Sub-basin is 405 AFY of load
• Pasadena Non-Potable Water Project > Project buildout will provide 2,700 AFY for irrigation, 400 AFY in the
Monk Hill & 2,300 AFY in the Pasadena Sub-basin > Ten percent of the load or 40 AFY in the Monk Hill & 230 AFY in the
Pasadena Sub-basin will reach the aquifer which is less than the AC limits for each sub-basin
