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 Page 2 of 4 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 Page 4 of 4 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.
