If the CONTRACTOR encounters an area(s) with discolored, stained, and/or odorous soils or any other evidence of contamination during excavation/grading work, CONTRACTOR must immediately notify the OAR, cease work in the aforementioned area(s), and secure the area(s) with fencing, tape, stakes or other suitable means to prevent entry by personnel or equipment. In turn, the OAR must immediately notify LAUSD-OEHS, which will initiate a construction response to address the contamination, in accordance with pertinent regulatory requirements. 3.02 SAMPLING AND TESTING A. CONTRACTOR shall contract with, and pay for, the services of a licensed environmental professional (licensed State of California Professional Engineer [PE Civil], Professional Geologist [PG] or Registered Environmental Assessor II [REA II]) to perform sampling of Materials that are subject to Part 2 Products of this Section. B. CONTRACTOR shall contract with, and pay for, an independent, approved California Department of Health Services certified testing laboratory to perform testing of imported, exported and site generated fill materials. C. All fill/grading material, unless otherwise specified in writing by LAUSD-OEHS, whether imported or exported, must be tested at the site of origin. Import/export testing and certification process shall include the steps listed below. OWNER retains the right to refuse any fill material proposed for use at a school site. 10/01/2011 PROJECT NAME ENVIRONMENTAL IMPORT/EXPORT MATERIALS TESTING SCHOOL NAME 014524-8 1. Stockpile all materials for sampling (standard stockpile or backhoe pothole stockpile). Crushed fill materials generated by CONTRACTOR at a school site must be segregated by material (e.g., separate stockpiles for concrete, asphalt, etc.). 2. Submit draft SSP for review and concurrence by LAUSD-OEHS. SSP must include figures identifying the site location, the stockpile location, the sampling locations, and a brief site history including the type of remedial activity that occurred at the source site, if any. 3. Collect and analyze samples (see Table 1 for number of samples per volume) per SSP. The samples must include discrete samples and composite samples. a. Discrete samples correspond to a single sample depth. These samples are to be used for producing composite samples, as described below, and for analysis, in accordance with Part 3.02 E.1, which correspond to Volatile Organic Compounds or VOCs. For analysis of these compounds, the licensed professional shall collect one from each sampling location and at different depths between these locations, so that all stockpile depths are equally represented. b. Composite samples correspond to three sample depths for one horizontal sampling location. Each composite sample will consist of three discrete samples collected near the top, middle, and bottom of the stockpile at each sampling location. The licensed environmental professional shall then have the analytical laboratory combine the discrete samples into one composite sample for each sampling location and retain some of each discrete sample for further analysis, as necessary. The composite sample shall be analyzed, in accordance with Part 3.02 E.2, which describes required testing other than for VOCs. Once materials for export have been stockpiled and tested, they may not be used onsite for any purpose without prior approval by OEHS. 1) Composite samples with concentrations approximating or exceeding those permitted herein may be attributed to constituents within one or more discrete samples. Analyzing the discretes comprising the composite may reveal the one(s) with elevated concentrations and, thus, better isolate (and minimize) the volume of soils within the stockpile requiring removal and licensed disposal. 4. Submit draft Soil Certification/Sample Data Report for review and concurrence by LAUSD-OEHS. 5. Submit final Soil Certification/Sample Data Report to the LAUSD-OEHS Environmental Compliance Manager for concurrence of proposed waste classification. All certified material not utilized or exported within a period of 90 days will be subject to retesting unless a variance is requested by CONTRACTOR and is approved by LAUSD-OEHS prior to use or import/export of the subject materials. 10/01/2011 PROJECT NAME ENVIRONMENTAL IMPORT/EXPORT MATERIALS TESTING SCHOOL NAME 014524-9 6. Submit required pre import/export documentation/record to the OAR and to LAUSD-OEHS Environmental Compliance Manager (e-mail is acceptable). 7. Submit post import/export certifications to the OAR and LAUSD OEHS Environmental Compliance Manager (e-mail is acceptable). 8. In addition to the preceding, requirements, and as necessary or as specified by LAUSD-OEHS, certifications and submittals as indicated in previous articles of PART 3.02 or in the remainder of 014524 may be required. D. Import/export fill materials shall be stockpiled by CONTRACTOR (or at export site) and are deemed acceptable for import/export or reuse only when it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of LAUSD OEHS that the subject materials meet the requirements of this Section. E. As described in paragraph 1.04.A.2.b, lacking site-specific data or sample rationale to support a more focused analytical approach; the CONTRACTOR shall analyze all samples for the following substances according to the methods indicated below. Table 3 is a waste classification flowchart for use by CONTRACTOR's licensed environmental professional. In all cases, detection levels and quality assurance/quality control methods shall be in accordance with standard method reporting limits, best laboratory practices and the following USEPA (EPA) methods for discrete and composite samples: 1. Discrete samples shall be analyzed for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), utilizing EPA Method 826013/5035 and for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) gasoline, utilizing EPA Method 8015M [collection by EPA Method 5035 using either volatile organic analysis (VOA) kits, Encores, or an equivalent] 2. Composite samples shall be analyzed for the following: a. TPH, utilizing EPA Method 8015M, for full carbon -chain speciation (including diesel, oil, and other long -chain hydrocarbons). b. Polychlorinated biphenyls, utilizing EPA Method 8082. C. Semi -Volatile Compounds (SVOCs), utilizing EPA Method 8270C. d. Organochlorine Pesticides (OCPs), utilizing EPA Method 8081A. e. Organophosphorous Pesticides (OPPs), utilizing EPA Method 8141 A. f. Chlorinated Herbicides, utilizing EPA Method 8151 A. g. California Code of Regulations Title 22 (CAM 17) Metals, utilizing EPA Method 601013/7470A. h. Hexavalent Chromium, utilizing EPA Method 7199. i. Arsenic/Thallium, utilizing EPA Method 6020. For EPA Method 8270C, a Method Detection Limit (MDL) of 250 ug/Kg in addition to the Practical Quantitation Limit (PQL) or equivalent. This requirement is due to a recent DTSC directive requiring MDLs or PQLs to be sufficiently low to detect Carcinogenic Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (CPAHs) in the composite sample, even if these compounds exceed actionable concentrations (900 ug/Kg) in only one of the three discrete samples comprising the composite. 10/01/2011 PROJECT NAME ENVIRONMENTAL IMPORT/EXPORT MATERIALS TESTING SCHOOL NAME 014524-10 4. The certified laboratory may also need to analyze the composite samples for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a component of semi -volatile compounds, if the data evaluation performed in accordance with Part 3.02 G of this Section (01 4524) does not meet DTSC requirements. The analytical methods to be used for this purpose are EPA Method 8270 SIM, if the samples contain relatively high concentrations of hydrocarbons, or EPA Method 8310, if the samples contain low concentrations of hydrocarbons. F. Import/export fill material may be deemed defective for use by LAUSD-OEHS at a school site if any of the following results are obtained: 1. TPH are present at concentrations exceeding 100 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) for gasoline and/or 1,000 mg/kg for oil/diesel and long -chain hydrocarbons. 2. Solvents and other VOCs are present at concentrations exceeding the laboratory reporting limit. 3. PCBs are present at concentrations exceeding the laboratory reporting limit. 4. SOVCs are present at concentrations exceeding the laboratory reporting limit. 5. OCPs are present at concentrations exceeding the laboratory reporting limit. 6. OPPs are present at concentrations exceeding the laboratory reporting limit. 7. Chlorinated herbicides are present at concentrations exceeding the laboratory reporting limit. California Code of Regulations Title 22 (CAM 17) Metals at concentrations exceeding site-specific background. 9. Hexavalent chromium is present at concentrations exceeding 15 mg/kg. G. As mentioned in paragraph 3.02 E, evaluate concentrations of CPAHs, a subset of SVOCs, in the import/export material by conducting the analyses set forth below. 1. Comparing CPAH concentrations with the Benzo(a)pyrene [B(a)p] equivalent concentration of 900 micrograms/kilogram (ug/kg), the background concentration for CPAHs defined in "A Methodology For Using Background PAHs To Support Remediation Decisions," prepared by the Environ Corporation for the Southern California Gas Company and Southern California Edison, January 24, 2002 (referred to as "document"). In this document, CPAHs are defined in Table 2, and Potency Equivalency Factors (PEFs) for each CPAH are listed in Table 3. Using the correct PEF for each CPAH, the licensed environmental professional shall convert the concentration of each CPAH into its B(a)p equivalent concentration. The summation of these B(a)p equivalents for each CPAH must not exceed 900 ug/kg. If CPAHs do not exceed the laboratory reporting limit, then the licensed environmental professional must perform the procedure described above, using the PEF and the laboratory reporting or practical quantitation limits (LRL or PQL) for each CPAH. The result will be the LRL or PQL for each CPAH converted to B(a)p equivalent concentrations. The summation of these B(a)p equivalent concentrations (representing the LRL or PQL for each CPAH) must not exceed 900 ug/kg. 10/01/2011 PROJECT NAME ENVIRONMENTAL IMPORT/EXPORT MATERIALS TESTING SCHOOL NAME 014524-11 2. Comparing CPAH concentrations with those documented in the PEA, including the remedial action level specified for the school Site. CPAH concentrations in the import/export material must not exceed these concentrations or this level. H. Evaluate concentrations of metals in import fill by conducting the analysis set forth below. Compare the maximum detected metal concentrations in import/export material samples to the site-specific background levels provided in the site PEA Report. The PEA Report shall be available from the OAR. If any metal concentration exceeds its listed background value, the fill material fails and shall be deemed defective and unacceptable for use unless supported by a site specific health risk assessment. 2. In addition to section 3.02.G.1, import/export fill shall be deemed defective and unacceptable for use if any of the following results are obtained: a. Arsenic concentrations exceed 12.0 mg/kg. b. Lead concentration exceeds 80 mg/kg or fails TTLC/STLC. C. Import/Export materials at new school sites with total lead concentrations greater than 50 mg/kg shall be analyzed for leachability (STLC/TTLC) prior to export. Materials exceeding STLC limits identified in Table 2 are deemed defective and unacceptable for use at school sites. d. Import/Export materials at new school sites with total chromium concentrations greater than or equal to 100 mg/kg shall be tested for hexavalent chromium. I. All export/import material shall be characterized, handled, and documented in accordance with applicable US EPA and State of California hazardous waste and hazardous materials regulations (See Table 2). For the purpose of this specification, "contaminated" shall mean any soil or geotechnical material with constituent concentrations, which would require disposal at a regulated facility (i.e., California hazardous or RCRA hazardous). OAR must be notified at least 72 hours prior to the disposal of any hazardous waste or hazardous material. No material disposal or reuse can take place without prior written approval of LAUSD-OEHS. J.

Alta initially collected samples of soil located at the upper field at Ladera Linda. Based on follow-up discussions it was determined that the samples we collected from the upper filed at Ladera Linda may not have been representative of the subject soil imported from the Torrance residential site. Portions of the subject soil imported from the Torrance site had also been imported to the District maintenance yard. Based on this information Alta collected samples at the District maintenance yard on 11/2 and also revisited the Ladera Linda site that day as well. We received the results of the samples collected at the yard with the exception of the analysis of asbestos in soil -that analysis has to be completed by a different lab. The results for all analytes were in general very low. I need to have the results reviewed by my staff and compared to existing standards. One thing to note Is that we did detect low concentrations of DDT in the soil. Our initial review indicates that the levels detected were below regulatory guidelines, however, as a reference point, the LAUSD would not accept this soil for import due to the presence of any detectable concentrations of organochlorine pesticides. Please treat this information as preliminary until I can have it reviewed. Further, the samples which were initially collected at Ladera Linda were put on hold and some will exceed the hold time on 11/12. Based on observations made at the yard and Ladera Linda It looks as though there are at least two, likely more, sources of soil on the upper field. Soil consistent with that of the yard was observed at Ladera Linda however it is unclear as to where the bulk of that soil is at this time. It appears as though additional soil which contains various types of building debris and organic debris is present on the upper field. Additional sampling and characterization of the soil is likely warranted. Also, as indicated I collected several samples of the miscellaneous building debris observed to be present in the upper field area which included sewer lines, stucco, roofing shingles and roofing with mastic. The sample with the roofing material and tar was found to contain asbestos. Further, during our second site visit on November 2 1 observed additional suspect material Included floor tile debris with mastic. No samples were collected at the time as such sampling should be part of a larger investigation. The presence of building debris with asbestos triggers requirements under 5CAQMD Rule 1409 which Includes completing a contamination assessment, development of clean-up plan and subsequently executing the plan. Until the area Is adequately characterized we feel it prudent to restrict access to the upper field area. t)AVII)S01 `CK.121 A CAC Ci)1'11-1 \ VlC%1'RNMI)CNi'01 MALI) 16WILI:CIS ALTA ENVIRONMgNTAL Expertise to Reduce Your Environmental and Safety Risks Y -- m connection with Provider's obligation to construct and install the Projects, Provider agrees t,,*, cN1 nstruct and install the Projects subject to the following conditions as set forth in the Des P Ledger: I All carports, shall be MbarC 4STEL design with rectangular tube steel.

CA Public Resource Code: 21080.35-- (# of RPV TREES TO BE CUT DOWN?) (e) This section does not apply if the installation of a solar energy system at an existing parking lot involves either of the following: (1) The removal of a tree required to be planted, maintained, or protected pursuant to local, state, or federal requirements, unless the tree dies and there is no requirement to replace the tree. (2) The removal of a native tree over 25 years old. #2- SAFETY IS A CITY ISSUE: If Solar Panels are installed in parking lots has the Fire Marshall approved the siting and can the fire trucks navigate the parking lot in case of emergency once installed? District MUST comply with this Public Resource Code at the very least. Who is checking the trees? Miraleste is having at least 4 trees cut down. Per the solar contract: "Parking stalls will be modified to ADA codes" These are old parking lots- Less parking when modified? Have Geo -Technical studies been done? Water lines? Water mains? Any other underground issue that might interfere with the borrowing down 15 feet in a school yard for 8 or more huge steel beams? Archeological studies? Some of the schools are Coastal Properites. Lights? WILL THERE BE LIGHTS ON THE PARKING LOT STRUCTURES? ALEX SMITH- of PFMG SOLAR SAID: YES #4- The Quit Claim Deed voted upon on`May '25, 2016 stated that LAUSD was on the two High School TITLE DEEDS. IS THE AGREEMENT voted upon Nov. 18th,2015 valid when the District did NOT own TITLE TO THE HIGH SCHOOL LANDS AT THAT TIME? DOES THE BOARD HAVE TO RE -VOTE TO MAKE THIS AGREEMENT ACCEPTANCE LEGAL?

Support to deny an appeal and uphold the Planning Commissions Decision Dear Council Members: I am the home owner of 5448 Bayridge Road and I am writing this letter in response to the appeal presented to you by my neighbor Mr. Sturgeon. Over the past 5 years my Architect, General Contractor and team of supporting engineers have gone through great lengths to work in concert with the city to accommodate Mr. Sturgeon's relentless demands and requests. Throughout the project we have made several changes at the request of Mr. Sturgeon which we deemed reasonable and compliant within the building code. The proposed 'Garden wall' was built & inspected as a retaining wall in 2014 per the details provided by the approved set of structural plans which were created by a licensed structural engineer. The change from a garden wall to a retaining wall was made to ensure the stability Mr. Sturgeon's slope and is of the same design and construction as the rest of the retaining wall that runs along the entire west side of the driveway bordering our properties. This change is supported by the cities assigned Inspector, the city's Planning Department, a licensed General Contractor, a licensed Soils Engineer, a licensed Structural Engineer, a licensed Civil Engineer and the Planning Commission. The change has also been reviewed by my retained counsel at Allen Matkins to ensure its compliance with all California & City Building Codes. The construction on my home ended in July of 2015 and I have patiently waited for my permit to be finalized by the city. At every junction Mr. Sturgeon has attempted to stop or delay the building of my family's home and I believe this particular appeal is another attempt to delay the finalization of my family's home. I am requesting for you to support the unsubstantial amendment made by the city, approved by the planning commission and allow me, and my family, to move on from this long and overdue project with no further delays or costs.

From: Mickey Rodich [mailto:mickeyrodich@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2016 6:24 PM To: Cory Linder <CoryL@rpvca.gov> Subject: Ladera Linda Park Proposals Thank you for inviting me (representing the LLHOA) to the Ladera Linda Park Master Plan Interviews with the Fischer and Gonzalez Architectural firms. The interviews were very educational. I did agree with you and the Staff, attending the interviews. that Fischer seemed to be better prepared to work with us on the project, but they need direction from Staff. Fischer's Proposal did not show a cost for their services, however Gonzalez showed a cost of $105,000. You said after the interviews that their pricing was similar. During the interview with Fischer they said that they could use the work. To me that would be a signal that their price can be re- negotiated downward. I would like to add some of my comments now that I have had a chance to think about the interviews: 1) Have you attempted to negotiate a lower price from Fischer seeing that they say they need the work? Yes, the costs in the proposal being presented to Council tonight are the result of negotiation. 2) I think $105,000 is too high for this study. The negotiated costs was $93,000 with an additional $10, 000 for reimbursable expenses. 3) Staff should determine the amenities needed in the new structure such as number of offices &rooms, size of rooms, restrooms, storage areas etc. The type of rooms and their size and amenities will be developed during the Master Plan process which will involve staff, public outreach and meetings with stakeholders, including adjacent HOAs. 4) I think we should have a consensus as to the activities we wish to have on the site. I agree that the type of activities is crucial to deciding what facilities and rooms are built. This is the type of information that will be determined during the Master Plan process. Certainly the W4 feedback from the community during the Parks Master Plan process and the City Council priorities to focus on "less is more " and to consider impact on adjacent neighborhoods will be a central concern. 5) We feel that meeting rooms for smaller activities such as dance classes, Yoga, senior activities, hobbies, small educational programs etc. would be desirable. PVIC has 1 large room, Hess Park has 3 medium sized rooms and Ryan Park has I room. The recommended sizes of the rooms will be determined during the Parks Master Plan. You are correct that PVIC and Hesse Park each have a mix of large and small rooms which serve a variety ofpurposes. Not having a large room at Ladera Linda is certainly apossibility although it would preclude large public meetings (such as the Parks Master Plan meetings regarding LL and Gateway Park) as well as other uses. Again, this type of issue will be addressed and resolved during the Parks Master Plan. 6) Our neighborhood does not approve of any facilities for weddings or larger parties as you suggested. That issue will also be addressed during the public outreach phase of the Master Plan process. Weddings are allowed at PVIC and Hesse Park and Ladera Linda, but there are restrictions on size, timing and durations. Certainly the issue of whether to have weddings or large parties at all can be apart of the planning process. I will be happy to appear at the City Council meeting on June 6th to express my views on this new Park. You are welcome to appear at City Council tonight if you wish.

The Signage Plan does not address all signage in the Preserve; it addresses regulatory signage, entry signage and some interpretive signage. We have heard your comment on equestrian uses before from other hikers, and are working to correct that language on signage. Open flames and littering is mentioned on current regulatory signage, but if you are specifically referring to the poor condition of signage at Ocean Trails Reserve, staff agrees it needs improvement and we are currently working with Trump National staff to improve signage at that location. (Trump National is responsible for maintenance at Ocean Trails Reserve). We very much appreciate feedback from hikers, and would really appreciate if you would report to us (please use my email address: katiel@rpvca.gov) when you see litter, briquettes and maintenance needs, and our staff will respond quickly. Specific trail names are greatly appreciated. We endeavor to respond quickly to keep the Preserve clean. Our Public Works Department handles concerns in the public right of way (bike lanes along the street), and I will forward your concern to them. Thank you again for taking the time to reach out to us. We value the perspectives, information and feedback of our trail users. Thank you, Katie Lozano Administrative Analyst Recreation and Parks Department City of Rancho Palos Verdes 310-544-5267 katiel@rpvca.gov -----Original Message ----- From: jessica [mailto:jessboop@cox.net] Sent: Monday, June 06, 2016 1:02 PM To: Katie Lozano <KatieL@rpvca.gov>; jessica <jessboop@cox.net> Subject: palos verdes nature preserve signage Hi, 1. Does this address all signage for all the trail system? 2. Why do the all the signs have information on them about "equestrian, when horses are not allowed on a lot (or even) most of the trails? I feel when there is a sign that includes information about equestrian, then people think that horses are allowed on those trails, when they are not!!!! As an example, the Ocean Trails (Trump development) agreement for their trail system does not allow horses, yet the signs for the preserve/trails within the development, as part of the details listed on the sign mention "Equestrian issues!" 3. Also, there appears there is no information regarding fires (barbecues and briquets) and trash being thrown!! Some of the trails have briquets and trash strewn in the habitat and vegetation..a fire hazard! 4. Also, there are a lot of areas of habitat which has been trampled by people or animals, and a lot of animal waste that has not been picked up. 5. Plus, a lot of the signage has no writing on them anymore, they are just white; the wording is no longer on the sign. As another issue, the bike trails on the street are sometimes used by joggers, or walkers, causing the cyclers to have to stop in the bike lane or move into traffic lanes. Maybe there should be more signage or painting on the pavement of the bike lane stating "bike lane only"H! Thank you for all your assistance. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
