| 1 | 7.1 | Kelly Farm Mitigation Bank | BPU- Agenda Item | KELLY FARM CALIFORNIA TIGER SALAMANDER MITIGATION BANK UPDATE
Staff will provide a brief update on the development of the California tiger salamander mitigation bank on Kelly Farm.
The Laguna Treatment Plant (LTP) and many of the city-owned farms are located within the Santa Rosa Plain which is home to endangered species, including the California tiger salamander (CTS), and rare plants, including Sebastopol meadowfoam, Burke’s goldfields, and Sonoma sunshine. When the City undertakes a project located at these facilities, projects need to be designed to avoid impacts to these sensitive species, or the City needs to purchase mitigation credits from a privately held mitigation bank to offset the impacts. Over the last ten years, the cost of CTS credits has continually increased. The City has planned projects that may require significant mitigation credits, including the LTP Flood Protection Project. The purchase of mitigation credits can add a large cost to projects and extend the time that it takes to obtain regulatory permits, thus delaying the start of projects.

| 1 | 9.2 | A Place to Play - Amendment No. 2 | BPU- Report | REPORT - APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO PROJECT WORK ORDER WITH GREEN VALLEY CONSULTING ENGINEERS - EMERGENCY WELL PUMP STATION - A PLACE TO PLAY - CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION
BACKGROUND: The A Place To Play well project includes the conversion of an existing test well to an emergency ground water well and pump station. Construction began in July 2020 with a design based on past water quality data that was obtained when the well was initially constructed. As construction on the conversion and pump station progressed, subsequent water sampling analyses detected arsenic levels above the State maximum contaminant level (MCL) for public drinking water supplies. Construction was suspended in November 2020 to explore water treatment options that would reduce the arsenic concentrations below the regulatory limit.
Construction commenced February 2022, and progressed until November of 2022, when an electrical material procurement delay caused the project to fall into suspension. Construction was suspended from November 2022 until March 2024.
The 2022-2024 suspension extended th | approved | Pass |
