Thanks Karen
I will pass these on to Lee and Scott; containment and erosion are our primary concerns here as well.

Subject: buberl site-initial thoughts
Hi Eric,
I saw the notice of the public hearing for the JA Holdings, LLC for the CUP for the landscaping business at Lot 5, Block 1
Kern Center.
Below are some thoughts based on what you sent over a couple weeks ago:
• This property has access to the large parcel across the ravine. Will the landscaping operations expand into this
parcel?
• The temporary stock piles located just east of the drainage break on the property. Truck traffic,daily operations
of retrieving materials, and stormwater runoff are the primary sources for contaminant migration toward the
ravine or off site to the street.
• Perimeter sediment control should be implemented along the downgradient western edge of the pile area to
prevent sediment migration. A healthy stand of dense vegetation along the western sloping portion of the site
could function to filter stormwater runoff prior to discharge to the ravine.
• Site housekeeping such as vehicle washing (with proper disposing of wash water), and street sweeping should
be implemented for sediment control.
• There is mention of future storage bunkers in the letter from the City's Planning consultant. These will go a long
way to containing contaminants from the stock piled materials if arranged to prevent material or rain water
runoff from migrating toward the ravine.
