The clean ground water discharge point at the creek needs to be protected as not to cause erosion of the stream bank. 11. Approval needs to be obtained from Fish and Game, Army Corp. Of Engineers for any . stream bed alterations and work in the creek. 12. All de -watering procedures must meet Regional Water Quality Control Board standards. 13.

Sand bags located in box culvert section of creek need to be checked as to why there appears to be a settled spot in the middle of wall. H SITE AND LANDSCAPE PLANS: 1. All transformers needed for this project shall be indicated on project plans and installed underground on this site or behind the front setback. 2. All irrigation systems and planting shall follow City's water conservation guidelines. 3. Rear landscape area shall drain to street or to a storm drainage system without pumping. 4.
