Attention: Mr. Richard Greenwood, Geophysical Coordinator

Subject: Field Operations Report for the Hyperion 1-Mile Outfall Repair Project Construction-Progress

Multibeam Surveys Conducted in July 2017

Reference: Geophysical Survey Permit PRC-9306

Gentlemen:

This Field Operations Report is prepared in compliance with the requirements of Geophysical Survey Permit

PRC-9306 issued to MBC Applied Environmental Sciences (MBC) by the California State Lands Commission on

March 2, 2016.

MBC conducted multibeam sonar surveys of an area approximately 150 feet by 1,100 feet (~3.7 acres) offshore

of Playa Del Rey, California. Surveys were performed as progress completion surveys. Ten surveys were

performed by the TechCom International (TCI) survey vessel using a hull-mounted R2Sonic Model 2020

multibeam sonar and one survey by the Gahagan and Bryant Associates (GBA) survey vessel “Tati B.” using a hull-mounted R2Sonic Model 2024 multibeam sonar system. All sonar equipment was low energy. All surveys

were conducted during daylight hours (7am-7pm) on July 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 24, 2017 by TCI

and on 21 July 2017 by GBA. The survey area was located in front of the Hyperion Treatment Plant southeast of

Marina del Rey and extended from the 15-foot depth contour to approximately the 35-foot depth contour. Track

lines for the TCI vessel multibeam surveys are shown in Figure 1 and for the GBA vessel multibeam survey in

Figure 2. Logs of daily weather and sea state conditions and wildlife observations are provided in Attachment A.

All Mitigation Measures were addressed in the Survey Plan submitted prior to work; biological surveys are

reported below.

On each date the survey vessel was used to scout the area to identify any marine mammals/reptiles, commercial

fishing activities/equipment, or environmental hazards that may be encountered during the survey. California sea

lions (Zalophus californianus) were observed resting on the mid-outfall sea buoy outside of the construction and

survey protection zone and common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) were seen before the survey was initiated on

7/16. No other marine mammals or reptiles were observed prior to the start of the survey, and no environmental

hazards were identified except avoidance of the outfall in shallow water where it reached the surface. The survey

caused no accidents, injuries or damage to or loss of property.

As required by Permit PRC-9306, a marine wildlife monitor was present on the survey vessel to document any

encounters with marine mammals and/or reptiles and describe the outcome of those encounters. The observer

on the TCI sonar vessel moved over from the construction barge to perform the sonar observations on dates TCI

surveyed. On one date (7/11/17) when weather conditions were too rough for the personnel transfer, the observer

maintained position on the barge and the vessel transited immediately adjacent to, and within a 50-foot distance

of, the barge and maintained constant radio contact. Ms. Katie Wyssman was the observer on July 6, 7, 10, 11,

Hyperion 1-Mile Outfall Sonar Surveys – Marine Wildlife Observer Summary

16, 18, and 24; Ms. Cristina Robinson on July 14 and 20; Ms. Jennifer Smith on July 13; and Ms. Jen Rankin on

July 21 – all are qualified marine wildlife observers.

There was no disturbance or modified activity by the sea lions during survey activities. One sea lion surfaced

adjacent to the outfall immediately after the sonar was turned off on 7/16; it stayed in the area for about 15 minutes

and no unusual activity by the individual was observed. Common dolphins were recorded on one occasion outside

of the protection zone (of 152 m) prior to the survey; the survey delayed until they had not been observed for 10

minutes. Marine mammal sightings are summarized in Table 1, and observation notes are included in Attachment

A. Trackline start and stop coordinates are presented in Table 2 for TCI and Table 3 for GBA.. Exhibit H

information is presented in Attachment B.

If the geophysical survey equipment is operated at or above a frequency of 200 kilohertz (kHz), safety zone monitoring and enforcement is not required; however, if geophysical survey equipment operated at a frequency at or above 200 kHz is used simultaneously with geophysical survey equipment less than 200 kHz, then the safety zone for the equipment less than 200 kHz must be monitored. The onboard MWMs shall have authority to stop operations if a mammal or turtle is observed within the specified safety zone and may be negatively affected by survey activities. The MWMs shall also have authority to recommend continuation (or cessation) of operations during periods of limited visibility (i.e., fog, rain) based on the observed abundance of marine wildlife. Periodic reevaluation of weather conditions and reassessment of the continuation/cessation recommendation shall be completed by the onboard MWMs. During operations, if an animal's actions are observed to be irregular, the mon~or shall have authority to recommend that equipment be shut down until the animal moves further away from the sound source. If irregular behavior is observed, the equipment shall be shut-off and will be restarted and ramped-up to full power, as applicable, or will not be started until the animal(s) is/are outside of the safety zone or have not been observed for 15 minutes.

For nearshore survey operations utilizing vessels that lack the personnel capacity to hold two (2) MWMs aboard during survey operations, at least twenty-one (21) days prior to the commencement of survey activities, the Pennittee may petition the CSLC to conduct survey operations with one (1) MWM aboard.

The vessel will then immediately communicate by radio or telephone all details to the vessel's base of operations, and shall immediately report the incident. Consistent with Marine Mammal Protection Act requirements, the vessel's base of operations or, if an onboard telephone is available, the vessel captain him/herself, will then immediately call the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Stranding Coordinator to report the collision and follow any subsequent instructions. From the report, the Stranding Coordinator will coordinate subsequent action, including enlisting the aid of marine mammal rescue organizations, if appropriate. From the vessel's base of operations, a telephone call will be placed to the Stranding Coordinator, NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Southwest Region, Long Beach, to obtain instructions. Although NOAA has primary responsibility for marine mammals in both State and Federal waters, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) will also be advised that an incident has occurred in State waters affectina a orotected soecies.

geophysical operators shall coordinate with the CLSC, California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), and any other appropriate permitting agency regarding proposed operations within MPAs. The scope and purpose of each survey proposed within a MPA shall be defined by the permit holder, and the applicability of the survey to the allowable MPA activities shall be delineated by the permit holder. If deemed necessary by CDFW, geophysical operators will pursue a scientific collecting permit, or other appropriate authorization, to secure approval to work within a MPA, and shall provide a copy of such authorization to the CSLC as part of the required presurvey notification to CSLC. CSLC, CDFW, and/or other permitting agencies may impose further restrictions on surve activities as conditions of a roval. Permittees shall develop and submit to CSLC staff for review and approval an OSCP that addresses accidental releases of petroleum and/or non-petroleum products during survey operations. Permittees' OSCPs shall include the following information for each vessel to be involved with the survey: • Specific steps to be taken in the event of a spill,

including notification names, phone numbers, and locations of: (1) nearby emergency medical facilities, and (2) wildlife rescue/response organizations (e.g., Oiled Wildlife Care Network);

• Description of crew training and equipment testing procedures; and

• Description, quantities, and location of spill response e ui ment onboard the vessel.

Vessel fueling shall only occur at an approved docking facility. No cross vessel fueling shall be allowed.

All California waters; as a survey permit condition, the CSLC shall require Permittees to provide the USCG with survey details, including information on vessel types, survey locations, times, contact information, and other details of activities that may pose a hazard to mariners and fishers so that USCG can include the information in the Local Notice to Mariners, advising vessels to avoid potential hazards near survey areas. Furthermore, at least twenty-one (21) days in advance of in-water activities, Permittees shall post such notices in the harbormasters' offices of re ional harbors. To minimize interaction with fishing gear that may be present within a survey area: (1) the geophysical vessel (or designated vessel) shall traverse the proposed survey corridor prior to commencing survey operations to note and record the presence, type, and location of deployed fishing gear (i.e., buoys); (2) no survey lines within 30 m (100 feet) of observed fishing gear shall be conducted. The survey crew shall not remove or relocate any fishing gear; removal or relocation shall only be accomplished by the owner of the gear upon notification by the survey operator of the potential conflict.
