STAFF REPORT
PUBLIC WORKS SERVICES DEPARTMENT
DATE: August 19, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Paul Cranmer, Public Works Services Director
By: Tiffany Lee, Interim Principal Civil Engineer
SUBJECT: KIZH NATION MONITORING SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR THE GOLDRING
WELL AND PFAS TREATMENT PLANT PROJECT, AND AUTHORIZE
PAYMENT TO THE KIZH NATION FOR MONITORING IN AN AMOUNT NOT
TO EXCEED $51,700
CEQA: Not a Project
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
To enhance the existing water supply infrastructure, Arcadia is partnering with the
City of Sierra Madre to construct a new water supply well within the Arcadia Public
Works Services Department Yard. To comply with Assembly Bill 52, the City notified
California Native American tribes of the Goldring Well and PFAS Treatment Plant
Project and completed consultation with the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians –
Kizh Nation in September 2024. The City and the Kizh Nation agreed to mitigation
measures, which were included in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
Part of that Monitoring Program includes utilizing the Kizh Nation to monitor and
document any findings related to tribal cultural resources during earth movement
activities for the project.
It is recommended that the City Council approve the Kizh Nation Monitoring Services
Agreement for the Goldring Well and PFAS Treatment Plant Project; and authorize
payment to the Kizh Nation for monitoring, in an amount not to exceed $51,700.
BACKGROUND
The City serves water to over 57,000 residents, with water primarily pumped from
the Main San Gabriel Basin, West Raymond Basin, and East Raymond Basin. To
Kizh Nation Monitoring Service Agreement
August 19, 2025

enhance the existing water supply infrastructure, Arcadia is partnering with the City
of Sierra Madre to construct a new water supply well (Goldring Well) in the Main San
Gabriel Basin.
On November 17, 2020, the Arcadia City Council approved a New Joint Groundwater
Production Well Agreement between the Cities of Arcadia and Sierra Madre to jointly
design, construct, operate, and maintain a groundwater production well in the Main
San Gabriel Basin. Per the terms of the Joint Agreement, Arcadia and Sierra Madre
are each responsible for 50% of the cost of all matters related to the new well.
In March 2023, in response to increased concern over Per- and polyfluoroalkyl
substances (“PFAS”), the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) published
proposed regulations that would set Maximum Contaminant Levels (“MCL”) for select
PFAS contaminants. PFAS can be found in products such as food packaging as well
as commercial and household products. Residual from these products often end up
in groundwater and are toxic at relatively low concentrations, thus, presenting a
danger to both human health and the environment. On June 20, 2023, the City
Council approved an amendment to include PFAS treatment for the new well, in
response to PFAS being detected in nearby groundwater sources around the
Goldring Well.
The Goldring Well and PFAS Treatment Plant Project consists of the construction of a
new groundwater production well, a PFAS treatment plant, a new 30,000-gallon
backwash tank with a new 4-inch diameter sewer pipeline, a new 12-inch diameter
ductile iron water main, and a new 30-inch diameter Reinforced Concrete Pipe (“RCP”)
pump-to-waste storm drain pipeline. The storm drain pipe is approximately 1,400
feet in length, starting from the well site, going westerly on Randolph Street, and
connecting to the existing 57-inch RCP within Peck Road. The 12-inch diameter ductile
iron water main and 4-inch sewer main, connect from the well site to the existing
water and sewer mains on Kardashian Avenue.
DISCUSSION
Assembly Bill 52 requires lead agencies to consult with California Native American
tribes and request consultations in writing, prior to the agency’s release of a Notice
of Preparation (“NOP”) of an Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) or notice of a
Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”) or Negative Declaration (“ND”). The City
notified California Native American tribes of the Project and completed consultation
Kizh Nation Monitoring Service Agreement
August 19, 2025
Page 3 of 4
with the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation, in September 2024. The
City and the Kizh Nation agreed to measures to mitigate or avoid significant
environmental effects. These mitigation measures were incorporated into the
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, which was approved by the City
Council on April 1, 2025, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
(“CEQA”). Per the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, monitoring services
from the Kizh Nation will be retained on-site to document any findings related to
tribal cultural resources during ground-disturbing activities. Based on an estimated
50 days of ground disturbance activities, the projected cost for the Kizh Nation
monitoring is approximately $51,700.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action of monitoring does not constitute a project under the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), as it can be seen with certainty that it will have
no impact on the environment.
Pursuant to the provisions of CEQA, an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
(“IS/MND”) was prepared to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated
with the implementation of the Goldring Well and PFAS Treatment Project. The
IS/MND found that there would be either no impact or less than a significant impact
on all resources, with the exceptions of Air Quality, Hazards and Hazardous
Materials, Noise, and Tribal Cultural Resources. These four resource categories were
found to have impacts “Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated.” On April
1, 2025, the City Council adopted the IS/MND for the Project, approved the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program, and authorized the execution of the Notice of
Determination. On April 3, 2025, the Mitigated Negative Declaration/Notice of
Determination was filed with the Los Angeles County Clerk and published with the
State Clearing House. The CEQA process for the Goldring Well and PFAS Treatment
Plant Project has been completed. This action is in furtherance of the adopted
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for this Project.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds have been budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Capital Improvement
Program for the Goldring Well Pipeline and Storm Drain Project, as well as in the
Fiscal Year 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program for the Construction of Goldring
Kizh Nation Monitoring Service Agreement
August 19, 2025

Well and PFAS Treatment Plant Project. Per the terms of the agreement, the City of
Sierra Madre will reimburse the City for half of the monitoring costs.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council determine that this action does not
constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); approve
the Kizh Nation Monitoring Services Agreement for the Goldring Well and PFAS
Treatment Plant Project; and authorize payment to the Kizh Nation for monitoring,
in an amount not to exceed $51,700.

6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
6.1. Despite any language in this Agreement to the contrary, KNRM’s obligations under this Agreement
(including any actual or alleged breach or default by KNRM) do not constitute personal obligations
of the individual partners, directors, officers, members or shareholders of KNRM or the Tribe, or the
partners or members of KNRM or the Tribe. The Lead Agency shall not seek recourse against the
individual partners, directors, officers, members or shareholders of KNRM or the Tribe, or any of
their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability with respect to this Agreement.
6.2. In consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder to the Lead Agency and notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Lead Agency hereby covenants and
agrees for itself and all of its successors and assigns that the liability of KNRM and the Tribe for
KNRM’s obligations under this Agreement (including any liability as a result of any actual or alleged
failure, breach or default hereunder by KNRM or any alleged tort committed in connection with
KNRM’s work), shall be limited solely to KNRM’s insurance coverage as provided in Section 7 of this
Agreement.
6.3. In the event the Lead Agency performs (directly or through a contractor, subcontractor, agent,
representative or otherwise at the Lead Agency ’s direction) or allows to be performed ground-
disturbing work without a monitor present in violation of Mitigations and in breach of this
Agreement, KNRM will suffer substantial harm for which it is impracticable to fix actual damages. To
limit or prevent further harm, the Lead Agency agrees and consents to the immediate issuance of a
Stop Work Order by the Project lead agency, which shall stay in full force and effect unless and until
the Parties resolve the non-compliance events and resulting damages.
6.4. In an effort to liquidate in advance the sum that should represent such damages and to avoid the
additional costs Lead Agency will incur to remedy that breach by redoing all non-compliant ground-
disturbing Project activities with a KNRM monitor present, Lead Agency agrees to pay KNRM a
“Noncompliance Fee” equal to the cost of redoing all non-compliant ground-disturbing Project
activities, plus KNRM’s monitoring fees for monitoring those activities. You acknowledge that you
have been given notice of this Noncompliance Fee and agree that such a fee is fair and reasonable.
7. INSURANCE
7.1. A certificate of general liability insurance coverage can be provided upon request.
7.2. KNRM does not hold an automobile liability policy for the monitors. Vehicles are only used for
transportation to and from the Project Site. Each individual monitor is required to carry automobile
