Subt sk 1.2 - Prepare Year 4 Monitoring Report
ICF will prepare a Year 4 monitoring report based on the results of the site visit. The Year 4
monitoring report will be based on the template developed by ICF for the Year 1 monitoring report.
The Year 4 monitoring report will include the name, title and affiliation of the person(s) conducting
the monitoring and preparing the report, ground -level photographs taken at photo documentation
points, relevant maps, data summary tables, and comparison to Year 4 performance standards. The
Year 4 monitoring report will also include observed problems with the mitigation site,
recommended remedial actions, and a description of the effectiveness of previous remedial actions,
as applicable.
Deliverable
Year 4 Monitoring Report. ICF will prepare three iterations of the Year 4 monitoring report:
administrative draft for City review, draft for City and EPA review, and final. The administrative
draft report will be provided electronically to the City. The draft and final report will be provided
electronically and as hard copy to the City and EPA (two hardcopies to the City and one hardcopy to
EPA).
Schedule
Per the Mitigation and Monitoring Plan for the Lower Kern River (September 2004), performance
monitoring will be conducted in the late spring (i.e., May /June), when plant species are most
identifiable. Maintenance- related site visits to follow -up on remedial actions will be conducted in
the late spring (simultaneous with performance monitoring) and fall. In addition, hydrological site
visits will be conducted in February and March to document presence of wetland hydrology where
applicable. Because this window has already passed, a hydrological site visit will be conducted in
late spring (simultaneous with performance monitoring).
The administrative draft Year 4 monitoring report will be prepared within three weeks after
completion of the second maintenance site visit in the fall. The draft Year 4 monitoring report will
be prepared within three weeks after receipt of comments from the City on the administrative draft
monitoring report. The final monitoring report will be prepared within three weeks after receipt of
comments from the City and EPA on the draft monitoring report.

Isabella Lake D
Located approximately
42 miles northeast of
Bakersfield, Isabella
Lake is one of the largest
man -made reservoirs in
California. Isabella Lake
was created in 1953 by the
construction of two earthen
dams on the Kern River in
northeastern Kern County.
Today Isabella Lake
provides flood protection
for the City of Bakersfield
and the surrounding
region, and provides a
primary water resource
for numerous water users
in Kern County.
The U.S Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento �istrict:(l>$RF err cuoeratior�ry
with the "U.S. 'Forest Service, Sequoia National Forest (USFS), 'mlends , f6.
prepare a Oraft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Federal action to
address dam safety concerns, including seismic, seepage and hydrologic issues
at the Isabella Lake main and auxiliary dams.
The USACE will be conducting initial public scoping meetings to present the results of
investigations on the Isabella Lake Dams' deficiencies and the preliminary risk reduction
measures that are being considered in the formulation of the remediation alternatives.
There will also be a discussion of the EIS process, Q & A and an opportunity to submit
comments and solicit community input regarding environmental issues of concern.
