BACKGROUND:
On October 3, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-47, declaring a state
of local emergency relating to the land movement in the landslide complex. The state of
emergency has been timely renewed and is current.
On May 7, 2024, the City Council extended the Local State of Emergency pursuant to
Resolution No. 2024-20 and approved, among other things, a Public Works Contract with
Malcolm Drilling Inc. (Malcolm) to perform the work of the Portuguese Bend Landslide
Emergency Hydraugers Project (Attachment G).
On August 20, 2024, the City Council approved expanding the scope of the emergency
hydraugers project and considering new alternatives including the installation of deep
vertical dewatering wells (Attachment F).
On October 1, 2024, the City Council approved expanding the scope of work to include
winterization work and the installation of additional vertical deep dewatering wells
(Attachments E).
On December 17, 2024, the City Council approved expanding the scope of work to include
operations and maintenance of the deep dewatering wells through March 31, 2025
(Attachment D).
3
On January 21, 2025, the City Council approved extending the duration of the operations
and maintenance of the deep dewatering wells work through June 30, 2025 and ongoing
fissure filling (Attachment C).
On February 4, 2025, the City Council approved expanding the scope of work to include
in-kind project and construction management services provided by the city to assist the
Abalone Cove Landslide Hazard Abatement District with implementation of their deep
dewatering wells plan. (Attachment B)
On March 18, 2025, the City Council approved continuing the emergency justification for
work and emergency contracting for the Greater Portuguese Bend-Ancient Altamira
Landslide Emergency Project (Attachment A).
DISCUSSION:
Pursuant to Public Contract Code § 22050, the City Manager and Director of Public Works
must report to the City Council at its regular meeting the reasons justifying why the
emergency continues to exist and why action outside of the normal bidding process is
necessary to respond to the emergency. Furthermore, Public Contract Code § 22050
states that the City Council shall, at every regularly scheduled meeting , consider and
reaffirm that there is a need to continue to remediate the emergency until the authorized
emergency repairs have been completed. Accordingly, because the work has not yet
been completed, this item is on tonight’s agenda. This item will be placed on each
subsequent agenda until all aspects of the project are completed.
The current status of the Deep Dewatering Wells program is the following:
• Work is complete for all DDWs as well as the associated test boreholes and monitoring
wells funded by the City Council.
• The total combined water extraction rate of the DDWs is currently at approximately
600 gallons per minute or 0.86 million gallons per day.
• Since the start of the DDW program, approximately 181 million gallons, or 556 acre-
feet of water have been extracted from certain locations around the toe of the
Landslide Complex.
• Water extraction rates are currently lower than recent averages due to slip plane
movement impinging on some wells.
• The re-drilling of DDW-1 and DDW-3 are complete.
• The re-drilling of DDW-5 is in progress.
• DDWs 4 and 6 are being evaluated and could be re-drilled in the near future.
• DDW11 experienced pump failure because of an insufficient water flow rate to keep
the pump cooled. Based on the low production rate of this DDW, the City’s geologists
are advising that this well should not be re-drilled, but rather re-located, should
additional funding become available.

All DDWs will continue to be monitored for pinching/shearing, and re-drilling plans will be
developed as needed.
All planned winterization activities are completed. Monitoring of winterized areas will
continue, including assessments after rain events, and adjustments made in preparation
for future rain events, to the extent possible within the current approved budget.
The emergency conditions necessitating the project continue to exist.
Confirmation of Retaining Consultants to Implement Emergency Landslide
Stabilization Measures
Over the course of approvals by the City Council to implement and expand emergency
landslide stabilization measures (Attachments A through G), the scope of associated
consultant professional and engineering services was comparably adjusted to continue
supporting construction activities.
The City Council is being asked to adopt the attached resolution thereby confirming that
actions taken by the City Manager and City Staff in retaining consultants to implement
emergency landslide stabilization measures is consistent with the authority delegated by
the City Council (Attachment H).
Staff are actively preparing additional contracts as required to complete the scope of
emergency landslide stabilization measures authorized by the City Council to date and
are forthcoming as part of future City Council agenda.
CONCLUSION:
The effects of the ongoing land movement continue to be felt in the Greater Portuguese
Bend-Ancient Altamira Landslide Complex. Staff recommends reconfirming that there is
a need to continue to remediate the emergency identified by City Council -adopted
5
Resolution No. 2024-20 (originally by Resolution No. 2023-47), and reconfirm, by a four-
fifths vote, the need for continuing the work on the Portuguese Bend Landslide
Emergency Project.
ALTERNATIVES:

Project No. 211909002
Mr. Sam Hout
Construction Services, Inc.
20250 SW Acacia Street, Suite 150
Newport Beach, California 92660
Subject: Proposal for Groundwater Sampling, Testing and Reporting
Rancho Palos Verdes Landslide Program
Rancho Palos Verdes, California
References: Order No. R4-2018-0125 General NPDES Permit No. CAG994004, Waste
Discharge Requirements for Discharges of Groundwater from Construction and
Project Dewatering to Surface Waters in Coastal Watersheds of Los Angeles and
Ventura Counties.
United States Environmental Protection Agency’s “Priority Pollutants” list, as listed in
Appendix A of 40 CFR 423.
Dear Mr. Hout:
In accordance with your request, we have prepared this proposal to continue providing
environmental consulting services for the Rancho Palos Verdes Landslide Program for the City of
Rancho Palos Verdes, California. Our proposed scope of services includes the collection of a mixture
of groundwater, rainwater, and City of RPV municipal drinking water supply within the Portuguese
Bend Landslide area and analysis for hydrogen and oxygen isotope densities (H2 [Deuterium] and
O18, respectively). The purpose of this sampling and analytical program is to assess chemical
“signatures” that can potentially provide clues to the origins and age of the groundwater found within
different areas of the Portuguese Bend that may be contributing to the landslide.
Additionally, we are proposing to collect groundwater samples at up to four additional dewatering
wells for analysis of various constituents of concern. The purpose of this sampling and testing is to
evaluate the general chemistry and potential contaminants in the groundwater for evaluation of
discharge into a nearby surface water body under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit for ultimate discharge into the ocean, in accordance with discharge requirements
set by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB).
H-13
Ninyo & Moore | Rancho Palos Verdes Landslide Program, Rancho Palos Verdes, California | 211909002 | October 25, 2024 2
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Based on our understanding of the proposed project and our experience, our scope of services will
be as follows:
Task 1 – Isotope Testing
• Perform project coordination and management, including client communication and meetings,
coordination with laboratories, and providing project schedule updates and budget tracking.
• Collect groundwater samples from approximately 18 vertical or horizontal dewatering wells
throughout the Portuguese Bend area, place samples in laboratory-supplied 40-mil VOA
containers, and transport them to the UC Davis Stable Isotope Facility for analyses. We also
estimate that three rainwater and three municipal drinking water samples will be collected each
event, for a total of 24 samples per event.
• Analytical laboratory testing of water samples for densities of Deuterium and O18 will be
conducted by the UC Davis Stable Isotope Facility by continuous-flow Isotope-Ratio Mass
Spectrometry (IRMS).
• Following receipt of the laboratory data over several events during the rainy season, a summary
letter report will be prepared, that will describe our field methodologies, sampling procedures,
discussion of findings, and conclusions. The report will include analytical results in tabular form,
a figure showing the sample location, and recommendations for groundwater disposal, as
appropriate. The report will be signed by a Ninyo & Moore, California-licensed, Professional
Geologist or Civil Engineer.
Task 2 – RWQCB Testing
• Perform project coordination and management, including client communication and meetings,
coordination with laboratories, and providing project schedule updates and budget tracking.
• Collect groundwater samples from approximately four different vertical dewatering wells, place
samples in laboratory-supplied containers and place within an ice-cooled chest, and transport
samples under chain-of-custody protocol to Enthalpy Analytical. We estimate that four samples
will be collected over two separate events.
• Analytical laboratory testing of sample collected from wells will include parameters required by
the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board’s Order No. R4-2018-0125 General
NPDES Permit No. CAG994004, Waste Discharge Requirements for Discharges of
Groundwater from Construction and Project Dewatering to Surface Waters in Coastal
Watersheds of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.
• Following receipt of the laboratory data, a letter report will be prepared, that will describe our
field methodologies, sampling procedures, discussion of findings, and conclusions. The report
will include analytical results in tabular form with comparison to applicable screening levels, a
figure showing the sample location, and recommendations for groundwater discharge options,
as appropriate. The report will be signed by a Ninyo & Moore, California-licensed, Professional
Geologist or Civil Engineer
ASSUMPTIONS
The following assumptions have been used in the preparation of this scope of services:
H-14
Ninyo & Moore | Rancho Palos Verdes Landslide Program, Rancho Palos Verdes, California | 211909002 | October 25, 2024 3
• Laboratory testing will be conducted on a normal turn-around time. For Deuterium, this can take
up to six weeks according to the UC Davis Lab. Several of the chemical analyses may need
additional time and the results will be provided as soon as they are received.
• Uninhibited access will be provided to dewatering wells during normal business hours
• Up to three (3) events for Isotope sampling (24 samples per event) and two (2) events for
RWQCB sampling (2 samplers per event) are assumed for cost estimating purposes
SCHEDULE
We will begin our services upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed (NTP), and can schedule initial field
work activities within one week of the NTP. Laboratory testing for Deuterium can be completed
approximately six weeks after completion of the fieldwork and submission of samples. Analysis for
RWQCB constituents of concern can be completed within 1-2 weeks of sample submission,
depending on the analytical method. Our summary letter reports will be completed within two weeks
of receipt of the final laboratory testing results.
FEES
Our consulting services will be provided on a time-and-materials basis in accordance with our
contract Schedule of Fees. We estimate the fee for the proposed scope of services (Three events
of Isotope sampling, testing and reporting and Two events of RWQCB sampling, testing and
reporting) will be approximately $16,500.00 (Sixteen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars) for the Isotope
Testing and $25,000 (Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars) for the RWQCB Testing. Note that there may
be cost savings if Isotope sampling events are combined with RWQCB Testing events.
Ninyo & Moore appreciates the opportunity to provide services on this project and we look forward
to working with you.
Respectfully submitted,
NINYO & MOORE
