ADDENDUM — CALIFORNIA CLIMATE INVESTMENTS (COI) GRANT PROJECTS
I. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
1. Grant funds shall be used on projects with the primary goal of reducing greenhouse
gases (GHGs) and furthering the purposes of AB 32 (Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006),
California's Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006.
2. Grant funds shall be used on projects limited to specific activities as described in
GHG Grants Procedural Guides.
3. Greenhouse gas reduction must be calculated using the ARB Greenhouse Gas
Quantification Methodology
(https://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/auctionproceeds/calfire ucf 16-17.pdf).
4. Grantee shall report project and benefits information when requested by the State
(e.g., GHG reductions, disadvantaged community benefits, energy/water savings,
and other co -benefits).
5. Grantee shall maintain accurate and detailed records documenting project
description, project location, and schedule, GGRF dollars allocated, and leveraged
funds throughout the duration of the project.
6. Failure of Grantee to meet the agreed upon terms of achieving required GHG
reduction may result in project termination and recovery of funds.
Il. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
All Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) projects are required to monitor and report
on carbon flux. This includes direct emissions, avoided emissions and sequestration. All
such emissions should be monitored and reported separately.
In addition, the Urban & Community Forestry and Forest Legacy Program Grants have
to monitor and report on other metrics. Monitoring should be done at sufficient intervals
to allow periodic reporting per the specific requirements of the individual grant program.
Carbon flux should be expressed as the difference between the pre -project baseline and
the in -progress or completed project at the end of the given monitoring period.
This will require the establishment of a pre -project baseline from which direct emissions,
avoided emissions and sequestration can be periodically measured throughout the
crediting period1 on the project area. Emissions and sequestration measurements should
be expressed as metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent [MTCO2e]. Net Greenhouse
The crediting period is the time period over which the project accrues GHG benefits.
1
-13-
GRANT NUMBER 8GG16417
City of National City
National City Urban Forest Expansion and
Improvement Project
Gas (GHG) benefit of the project will be determined by the sum of the GHG emissions
reductions and sequestration less any GHG emissions resulting from project
implementation. All other metrics should be reported in the appropriate units of measure.
The reporting requirements should determine the timing and frequency of monitoring
actions as described in Table 1.

5. GHG Methodology: Fill in the GHG calculated amounts below. Describe the assumptions used to quantify GHG reductions using
the ARB Quantification Methodology as required in the grant guidelines and found at: https://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/
capandtrade/auctionproceeds/quantification.htm. You are required to attach UTCC runs for species specified and the ARB
calculator output.
5A. Estimated carbon stored (MT CO2e) 12,449
5B. Estimated avoided emissions (MT CO2e)11,445
5C. Estimated project emissions (MT CO2e) 1195
5D Net GHG benefit (MT CO2e). (5A + 5B) - 5C = 13,699
The greenhouse gas (GHG) benefits calculated for this proposal are derived from anticipated planting of 1,700 trees in vacant planting
sites during the life of the project, which are expected to grow over a 40-year period beginning on the first day of the project. Planting
1,700 trees, along with the City's commitment for 9 years of ongoing maintenance and replacement, will result in direct, quantifiable
GHG benefits. The GHG values presented above were calculated using the USDA Forest Service Urban Tree Carbon Calculator (for
sequestered and annual emission reduction values for shade and climate effects) and the California Air Resources Board Greenhouse Gas
Calculator (for emissions and total emission reduction values) and provides estimates at 40 years after the first day of the project. Using
the Tree Carbon Calculator, the Total CO2 Stored value (kg/tree) and annual emissions reduction value (kg/tree) were calculated for 14
representative tree species. The 14 species used in the calculations were derived using the Streets Species Codes crosswalk. The Total
CO2 Stored values for all 1,700 trees were added together to present the Estimate of GHG Sequestered value included above. The
Emission Reductions (CO2 Equivalents) value (kg/tree) was also calculated for the 14 representative tree species. An estimated 50% of
the 1,700, or 850 trees will be planted near buildings and provide GHG emissions reductions. It was assumed that 25-percent of the
trees planted near buildings would be planted in each azimuth location (north, south, east, or west) and that trees would be planted
between 20 and 40 feet from a structure. The Emission Reductions (CO2 Equivalents) values for all 850 trees, using the average of all
aspects for each species, were then added together to present the Estimate of GHG Avoided value included above. GHG totals will be
tracked and reported over the grant period using the Tree Carbon Calculator (for sequestered and annual emission reduction values for
shade and climate effects) and the California Air Resources Board Greenhouse Gas Calculator (for emissions and total emission reduction
values). Project GHG reporting will be completed quarterly for each grant project progress report. Projected direct sequestration will be
reported separately from the calculated value of avoided emissions. For GHG sequestration and avoidance values, the Tree Carbon
Calculator will be used and inputs will be based on the total trees planted to date. Data from planted trees (species, size, age) will be
recorded and entered into the Tree Carbon Calculator and the results for sequestered carbon and avoided emissions will be summed.
For GHG emissions, the report will rely on the estimates provided by the California Air Resources Board Greenhouse Gas Calculator. A
summary calculation will be included in each report.
GHG reduction calculations and modeling were prepared by Scott Stephenson, Registered Professional Forester #2949 and ISA Certified
Arborist.

6. Narrative. In the sections below, please follow the prompts and provide all relevant information for the project.
6A. Background. Describe the situation in the project area(s) and problems in the project area(s) that need attention.
National City (population: 59,834 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2013 Estimate)) manages an estimated 10,000 trees and 1,700 vacant planting
spaces. A Disadvantaged Community, as defined by CaIEPA, the City is "disproportionately burdened by and vulnerable to multiple
sources of pollution". This is in part due to the City's badly depleted urban forest canopy. This project proposes to replenish this
resource, improving the quality of life for the residents in a City with over 12% pedestrian population, one of the highest in San Diego
County. This project is designed to address this problem by accelerating the City's tree planting goals from 40 trees per year over 40
years, to over 560 trees per year over the next three years and advancing the establishment of a mature urban forest. Benefits derived
from a mature urban forest canopy directly counteract the effects of pollution by conserving energy through strategic shade tree
planting, reducing stormwater runoff through canopy interception, improving water quality and erosion control, beautifying the City,
and improving air quality and calming neighborhoods, among other benefits derived from a well -managed urban forest.
Acknowledging the rapid onset of climate change, the City sees that the GHG benefits of this project, which are maximized with an
aggressive planting schedule and a diverse planting list of carbon hungry, drought -tolerant trees, will transform their urban forest into a
productive carbon sink and counteract the effects of greenhouse gases. The City is particularly affected by high unemployment and
underemployment and has teamed up with the Urban Corps of San Diego, providing youth ages 18-26 with job training, to ensure that
this project is able to address the community's need for employable skilled workers.
The City has already taken steps toward enhancing the urban forest through the implementation of the National City Urban Forest
Management Planning Project, funded by the CAL FIRE Urban & Community Forestry Grant Program for 2014/2105 (Grant Agreement
8GG14423). This project has 5 objectives: 1) create a GIS-based City Tree Inventory, 2) create an Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP)
for the City's forest, 3) update the City's Tree Master Policies and Ordinances, 4) improve the City's Urban Tree Program Website,
providing a web -based tree maintenance scheduling interface for residents, and 5) plant 400 carbon hungry, drought tolerant trees. The
city and contractors are actively engaged in working toward achieving each of these objectives. Other recent efforts include National
City's collaboration with CIRCLE and Tree San Diego in 2016 to plant 165 trees in the City. National City continues to demonstrate their
commitment to reducing GHG and pollutant's in their community by aggressively pursuing every opportunity to expand and improve
their urban forest.
6B. Project Objectives - What are the objectives of the proposed project? How do they address the situations and problems
identified in the background section?
The objectives for the proposed project are directly aligned with the objectives of the Urban Forest Expansion and Improvement grant
type, including:
1) Develop a project that is located within and provides benefits to Disadvantaged Communities to counteract the effects of pollution,
reduce unemployment and underemployment, and provide the benefits of urban forests to those that are most in need.
2) Offset carbon emissions through carbon sequestration and avoided emissions to counteract the effects of greenhouse gases in a City
heavily impacted by the industrial Unified Port of San Diego and the San Diego Naval Base. Creating a more pedestrian friendly
environment will further serve the objective of reducing carbon emissions and build on past projects which have established miles of
walkways and cycling paths.
3) Restore a mature urban forest using a diverse pallet of large, California native and friendly, drought -tolerant trees to provide
economic, environmental, and social benefits within the community.
4) Involve the community in tree planting and care and foster stewardship within the residents while educating residents about the
importance of an urban forest and GHG reduction. Provide adult work skills training, school field trips and workshops, fight the effects
of polluting industries, and commit local businesses to the cause.

6C. Scope of Work - Describe the approach to be used, the design (methods), and implementation of the
project. Include who will be involved with specific tasks and justify why the approach, methods and
implementation is the most effective way to accomplish the objectives. Include a description of project sign
contents and their locations. (continued on next page)
National City will meet each of the proposed objectives in the following manner:
1) Serving Disadvantaged Communities: National City Public Works Department, with a commitment of active participation from local
residents and community groups, including the Urban Corps of San Diego, will plant all 1,700 planting sites within or accessible from a
CatEPA designated Disadvantaged Community.
2) Offsetting carbon emissions: The City, with the help of a Certified Arborist, has identified 1,700 planting sites which can sustain
carbon -hungry trees and provide shade for cooling of buildings, roads, parking lots, and pathways. A Certified Arborist has assisted with
selecting a diverse planting pallet of carbon -hungry, drought -tolerant trees. Additionally, the City has committed to 9 years of
establishment care for each tree beginning on the first day of the project, exceeding CAL FIRE's required maintenance period by an
additional 6 years.
3) Restoring a mature urban forest: Planting all available 1,700 planting sites within and accessible to the Disadvantaged Community
during the project will advance the establishment of a mature urban forest and the economic, environmental, and social benefits that it
provides. At the City's current rate of planting 40 trees per year, it will take over 40 years to plant all the available planting sites vs the 3
years proposed in this proposal. Tree planting shall adhere to the CAL FIRE "Guideline Specifications for Selecting, Planting, and Early
Care of Young Trees" and irrigation practices shall adhere to the CAL FIRE guide for "Water -Wise Young Landscape Tree Care" in order to
ensure the best chances of success of the project. Suitable planting sites and a diverse, site -appropriate tree species list have been
selected with the assistance of a Certified Arborist. If available, the City will utilize locally sourced, recycled, or non -toxic grey water for
irrigation. No trees will be planted that require excessive long-term watering, fertilizing, exterminating, or controlling of pests and
diseases in order to survive. No trees will be planted that will eventually conflict with overhead or underground utilities or ground -
located infrastructure. No invasive species will be planted. No synthetic fertilizers will be used.
Tree planting and establishment care requirements: The City will seek tree planting services for the majority of the 1,700 trees. The City
will also employ its Public Works Department and leverage partnerships with local community organizations to accomplish a portion of
the tree planting. It is expected that the planting period will occur between early summer 2017 and spring 2020. Trees planted shall
consist of those identified in the tree list. If trees in the tree list are not available from the nursery during that time, the City shall request
from a Certified Arborist and the CAL FIRE Urban Forester approval of alternative large, drought tolerant trees. Nursery tree quality shall
be confirmed as a condition of tree planting contracts. Sites shall be selected as appropriate for the species. As deemed appropriate for
the species, time of year, and planting location, trees may be staked, mulched, or pruned at planting per the CAL FIRE "Guideline
Specifications for Selecting, Planting, and Early Care of Young Trees".
Tree irrigation care requirements: The City will seek irrigation services for 1,200 (1,700 total less approximately 500 trees planted in
irrigated sites) trees. The City will also employ its Public Works Department and leverage partnerships with local community
organizations to accomplish a portion of the tree irrigation. Irrigation is to applied by water truck, or other means available to the City.
It is expected that the irrigation period will commence in early summer 2017 and proceed until all trees have received 3 years of
watering. Those trees planted in 2017 will receive water through the end of summer of 2020. Those trees planted in 2018 will receive
water through the end of summer of 2021. Those trees planted in 2019 will receive water through the end of summer of 2022. And any
trees planted in 2020 will receive water through the end of summer of 2023. Trees shall receive approximately 3 gallons of water per
inch of trunk diameter. Irrigation shall typically be provided during the summer months or other extended dry periods with high
temperatures and low relative humidities. Irrigation may be provided outside of summer months as deemed necessary. Frequency of
watering will be highest in the first year and occur up to 1-3 times per week. Watering frequency will decrease to weekly occurrences in
the second year and bi-monthly occurrences in the third. Any temporary devices used for establishment period irrigation such as tanks,
bladders, irrigation line, or drip nozzles shall be checked regularly for breaks and leaks.

6C. Scope of Work - Continued from previous page
Tree pruning and replacement requirements: The City will seek pruning, stake removal, and tree replacement services for 1,700 trees.
The City will also employ its Public Works Department and leverage partnerships with local community organizations to accomplish a
portion of the tree pruning and replacement. Tree pruning and replacement shall be provided for all trees every third year following
establishment for 3 cycles per tree. Those trees planted in 2017 will receive pruning and replacement care through the end of summer
of 2026. Those trees planted in 2018 will receive pruning and replacement care through the end of summer of 2027. Those trees
planted in 2019 will receive pruning and replacement care through the end of summer of 2028. And any trees planted in 2020 will
receive pruning and replacement care through the end of summer of 2029. Tree planting shall adhere to the CAL FIRE "Guideline
Specifications for Selecting, Planting, and Early Care of Young Trees". Replacement tree species shall be determined by the original
planting list, or a Certified Arborist and CAL FIRE Urban Forester approved alternative large, drought tolerant tree. Planting, irrigation,
and pruning requirement will be consistent with the above stated requirements.
Irrigation facility requirements: The City will seek services for repairs and upgrades for seven existing irrigation systems and for the
installation of two new high efficiency irrigation systems. The City will also employ its Public Works Department and leverage
partnerships with local community organizations to accomplish a portion of the irrigation systems upgrade and new installation. If
available, the City will utilize locally sourced, recycled, or non -toxic grey water for irrigation. System components shall not include
inefficient irrigation valves, pumps, or sprinkler control timers. Irrigation systems shall be checked regularly for breaks and leaks.
4) Involving the community: The City is working with the Urban Corps of San Diego, a local non-profit organization, to engage the public
in the tree planting activities. The Urban Corps has been engaged to incorporate elements of the tree planting project into its jobs
training program for youth ages 18-26. Other community partners contacted during the application process include: Tree San Diego,
Olivewood Gardens, Envrionmental Health Coalition, National City Chamber of Commerce, Local School District Parent Teacher
Associations, Local Neighborhood Councils, and CIRCLE. Additionally, the City will utilize public responses garnered through its web -
based tree maintenance scheduling for residents and hold public workshops to educate the public about the project and seek input
from residents. CAL FIRE required posters and signage will be displayed in publicly visible locations near the project.
All tree planting will occur on city -controlled property and there are no engineered infrastructure components of the project. The
project team will be led by the Department of Public Works, in partnership with City planners, an ISA Certified Arborist, local non-profit
organizations, a Registered Professional Forester (as needed), and area residents. The City will put the specialty services work for the
project out to bid to qualified consultants with demonstrated experience in this type of work and use in-house staff as necessary. The
team will work collaboratively throughout the process and will seek public input through various means, including on-line surveys and
public workshops. The team will consult the CAL FIRE Regional Urban Forester for assistance throughout project implementation, and in
subsequent years, to ensure that the Regional Urban Forester's input is taken into account and that the project is meeting expectations
and consistent with current science and urban forestry best management practices in the region.
This is a project -ready project and the City is ready to move forward immediately. The Department of Public Works has extensive
experience in the area of urban greening and tree planting and maintenance and has adequate capacity to carry out this project. The
project has been designed to supplement and not supplant any locally funded budget item.

6D. Project Timeline - Provide a project timeline. Do not list specific dates or months due to uncertainty in when
projects may begin. Plan on projects ending no later than March 30, 2020.
It is anticipated that this project will commence in June 2017 and end no later that March 30, 2020. The City expects that planting will
commence in 2017 and complete no later than March 30, 2020 and that the establishment period care for all trees planted will end by
March 30, 2023. The city will continue to provide pruning, stake removal/adjustment, and replacement services every three years
following tree planting for 3 cycles per tree. The City expects that the last tree pruning cycle will occur in 2029 for those trees planted in
2020.

An ambitious tree planting schedule, the selection of carbon hungry site -appropriate trees, and the City's long-term commitment to
tree maintenance will ensure that the following project co -benefits are maximized as the urban forest matures.
Improved air quality: Approximately 350,000 vehicles are exported out of the Unified Port of San Diego annually and exports are
expected to increase to over 400,000 vehicles by 2017. This project will improve the air quality for the City's large pedestrian population I
by removing air polluting by-products of the port's industrial activity. Additionally, a cooler urban environment will be more pedestrian
friendly and encourage human powered forms of transportation, reducing vehicle emissions.
Improved public health: The City has received requests from PTAs, school boards, and other community groups to plant trees in the
western part of the City, where many schools are located and many pedestrian facilities have been developed over the last three years.
Additionally, the City has been removing the heavily polluting industries from the western part of the City via a Planning Ordinance.
This project, in combination with the Ordinance, and recent development of pedestrian facilities, will encourage active forms of
transportation while simultaneously removing pollutants that impact the health of susceptible pedestrian and school populations.
Enhanced active transportation: The City has received comments from the San Diego Naval Base that tree planting and further
development of cycling facilities is needed to provide a more pedestrian friendly environment for the over 30,000 Navy personnel that
commute to the base daily. The Navy and the City are both working to encourage forms of active transportation and reduce vehicle
miles traveled by Navy commuters. The cooler urban environment and improvements in aesthetic beauty and air quality will create a
more pedestrian friendly environment and encourage human powered forms of transportation. National City has over 12% pedestrian
population, one of the highest in San Diego County.

8. Project Co -Benefits - continued from previous page.
Jobs: The partnership with the Urban Corps of San Diego will provide jobs training opportunities for youth ages 18-26. The expansion
of the City's urban forest will require maintenance and care. The City's commitment to providing maintenance and replacement
services, in addition to their long-term commitment to urban forest management as evidenced by the ongoing development of the
Urban Forest Management Plan, will result in lasting jobs which require specialty training and provide tangible benefits, such as
reductions in unemployment, to the community.
Stormwater reduction: Through canopy interception and improved soil infiltration, advancing the establishment of a mature urban
forest will reduce stormwater runoff.
Improved water quality: Stormwater reduction through improved infiltration and canopy interception replenishes fresh ground water
supplies. Receiving waters of San Diego Bay will take in fewer pollutants over time.
Other co -benefits: It has been demonstrated in similar projects that the communities receive numerous additional co -benefits including
higher property values, reduction of heat island effects, and reduced road maintenance costs.

B. Project Co -Benefits - continued from previous page.
Jobs: The partnership with the Urban Corps of San Diego will provide jobs training opportunities for youth ages 18-26. The expansion
of the City's urban forest will require maintenance and care. The City's commitment to providing maintenance and replacement
services, in addition to their long-term commitment to urban forest management as evidenced by the ongoing development of the
Urban Forest Management Plan, will result in lasting jobs which require specialty training and provide tangible benefits, such as
reductions in unemployment, to the community.
Stormwater reduction: Through canopy interception and improved soil infiltration, advancing the establishment of a mature urban
forest will reduce stormwater runoff.
Improved water quality: Stormwater reduction through improved infiltration and canopy interception replenishes fresh ground water
supplies. Receiving waters of San Diego Bay will take in fewer pollutants over time.
Other co -benefits: It has been demonstrated in similar projects that the communities receive numerous additional co -benefits including
higher property values, reduction of heat island effects, and reduced road maintenance costs.
9. Certifications & Forms- The following certifications must be filled out and signed by the appropriate person.

3. Resolution
Explanation
In 2015, the City of National City was awarded an Urban & Community Forestry Greenhouse
Gas Reduction Fund grant in the amount of $276,685 through the California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) to develop an Urban Forest Management Plan for
National City. On October 20, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2015-159,
accepting the grant and authorizing the City Manager to execute the grant agreement. The
grant required a local match of $26,400 funded through the General Fund.
The scope of work includes conducting a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based City tree
inventory estimated at 10,000 trees, developing a long-range Urban Forestry Management
Plan, updating corresponding City Council policies and ordinances, creating a National City
Urban Forest webpage, and providing a web -based tree maintenance scheduling interface for
residents. The tree inventory has been completed. Staff anticipates completing the remaining
project components and closing out the grant by the end of Fiscal Year 2018.
On December 16, 2016, the Engineering Division submitted a project proposal for a CAL FIRE
grant in the amount $650,800 to plant and maintain approximately 1,700 trees. The grant
requires an in -kind local match of $219,375 for City Public Works Parks Division to maintain the
trees after the plant establishment period.
On May 22, 2017, staff was informed by Cal Fire that National City has been awarded the grant
in the full amount of $650,800. The grant will fund the purchase, planting and initial
maintenance of the 1,700 trees, to be performed by a contractor, over a three year period. A
portion of the grant funds will be used to install drip irrigation systems and water meters for
certain locations to assist with tree establishment. As previously stated, long-term
maintenance will be performed by City Public Works Parks Division.
City Council resolution accepting the terms of the agreement, such as committing to
maintaining the trees after the initial plant establishment period, is required to receive the
grant funds. City staff has reviewed and accepted the provisions of the grant agreement. It
shall be noted that while one such provision is a "hold harmless" provision, staff has
determined that the risk to the City is minimal since CAL FIRE's involvement in the project is
limited to submittal reviews, meetings, site visits and project accounting.

ADDENDUM — CALIFORNIA CLIMATE INVESTMENTS (CCI) GRANT PROJECTS
I. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
1. Grant funds shall be used on projects with the primary goal of reducing greenhouse
gases (GHGs) and furthering the purposes of AB 32 (Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006),
California's Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006.
2. Grant funds shall be used on projects limited to specific activities as described in
GHG Grants Procedural Guides.
3. Greenhouse gas reduction must be calculated using the ARB Greenhouse Gas
Quantification Methodology
(https://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/auctionproceeds/calfire ucf 16-17.pdf).
4. Grantee shall report project and benefits information when requested by the State
(e.g., GHG reductions, disadvantaged community benefits, energy/water savings,
and other co -benefits).
5. Grantee shall maintain accurate and detailed records documenting project
description, project location, and schedule, GGRF dollars allocated, and leveraged
funds throughout the duration of the project.
6. Failure of Grantee to meet the agreed upon terms of achieving required GHG
reduction may result in project termination and recovery of funds.
II. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
All Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) projects are required to monitor and report
on carbon flux. This includes direct emissions, avoided emissions and sequestration. All
such emissions should be monitored and reported separately.
In addition, the Urban & Community Forestry and Forest Legacy Program Grants have
to monitor and report on other metrics. Monitoring should be done at sufficient intervals
to allow periodic reporting per the specific requirements of the individual grant program.
Carbon flux should be expressed as the difference between the pre -project baseline and
the in -progress or completed project at the end of the given monitoring period.
This will require the establishment of a pre -project baseline from which direct emissions,
avoided emissions and sequestration can be periodically measured throughout the
crediting period1 on the project area. Emissions and sequestration measurements should
be expressed as metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent [MTCO2e]. Net Greenhouse
The crediting period is the time period over which the project accrues GHG benefits.
1
-13-
GRANT NUMBER 8GG16417
City of National City
National City Urban Forest Expansion and
Improvement Project
Gas (GHG) benefit of the project will be determined by the sum of the GHG emissions
reductions and sequestration Tess any GHG emissions resulting from project
implementation. All other metrics should be reported in the appropriate units of measure.
The reporting requirements should determine the timing and frequency of monitoring
actions as described in Table 1.

5C. Estimated project emissions (MT CO2e) li 95
5D Net GHG benefit (MT CO2e). (5A + 5B) - 5C = J,699
The greenhouse gas (GHG) benefits calculated for this proposal are derived from anticipated planting of 1,700 trees in vacant planting
sites during the life of the project, which are expected to grow over a 40-year period beginning on the first day of the project. Planting
1,700 trees, along with the City's commitment for 9 years of ongoing maintenance and replacement, will result in direct, quantifiable
GHG benefits. The GHG values presented above were calculated using the USDA Forest Service Urban Tree Carbon Calculator (for
sequestered and annual emission reduction values for shade and climate effects) and the California Air Resources Board Greenhouse Gas
Calculator (for emissions and total emission reduction values) and provides estimates at 40 years after the first day of the project. Using
the Tree Carbon Calculator, the Total CO2 Stored value (kg/tree) and annual emissions reduction value (kg/tree) were calculated for 14
representative tree species. The 14 species used in the calculations were derived using the Streets Species Codes crosswalk. The Total
CO2 Stored values for all 1,700 trees were added together to present the Estimate of GHG Sequestered value included above. The
Emission Reductions (CO2 Equivalents) value (kg/tree) was also calculated for the 14 representative tree species. An estimated 50% of
the 1,700, or 850 trees will be planted near buildings and provide GHG emissions reductions. It was assumed that 25-percent of the
trees planted near buildings would be planted in each azimuth location (north, south, east, or west) and that trees would be planted
between 20 and 40 feet from a structure. The Emission Reductions (CO2 Equivalents) values for all 850 trees, using the average of all
aspects for each species, were then added together to present the Estimate of GHG Avoided value included above. GHG totals will be
tracked and reported over the grant period using the Tree Carbon Calculator (for sequestered and annual emission reduction values for
shade and climate effects) and the California Air Resources Board Greenhouse Gas Calculator (for emissions and total emission reduction
values). Project GHG reporting will be completed quarterly for each grant project progress report. Projected direct sequestration will be
reported separately from the calculated value of avoided emissions. For GHG sequestration and avoidance values, the Tree Carbon
Calculator will be used and inputs will be based on the total trees planted to date. Data from planted trees (species, size, age) will be
recorded and entered into the Tree Carbon Calculator and the results for sequestered carbon and avoided emissions will be summed.
For GHG emissions, the report will rely on the estimates provided by the California Air Resources Board Greenhouse Gas Calculator. A
summary calculation will be included in each report.
GHG reduction calculations and modeling were prepared by Scott Stephenson, Registered Professional Forester #2949 and ISA Certified
Arborist.

6. Narrative. In the sections below, please follow the prompts and provide all relevant information for the project.
6A. Background. Describe the situation in the project area(s) and problems in the project area(s) that need attention.
National City (population: 59,834 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2013 Estimate)) manages an estimated 10,000 trees and 1,700 vacant planting
spaces. A Disadvantaged Community, as defined by CaIEPA, the City is "disproportionately burdened by and vulnerable to multiple
sources of pollution". This is in part due to the City's badly depleted urban forest canopy. This project proposes to replenish this
resource, improving the quality of life for the residents in a City with over 12% pedestrian population, one of the highest in San Diego
County. This project is designed to address this problem by accelerating the City's tree planting goals from 40 trees per year over 40
years, to over 560 trees per year over the next three years and advancing the establishment of a mature urban forest. Benefits derived
from a mature urban forest canopy directly counteract the effects of pollution by conserving energy through strategic shade tree
planting, reducing stormwater runoff through canopy interception, improving water quality and erosion control, beautifying the City,
and improving air quality and calming neighborhoods, among other benefits derived from a well -managed urban forest.
Acknowledging the rapid onset of climate change, the City sees that the GHG benefits of this project, which are maximized with an
aggressive planting schedule and a diverse planting list of carbon hungry, drought -tolerant trees, will transform their urban forest into a
productive carbon sink and counteract the effects of greenhouse gases. The City is particularly affected by high unemployment and
underemployment and has teamed up with the Urban Corps of San Diego, providing youth ages 18-26 with job training, to ensure that
this project is able to address the community's need for employable skilled workers.
The City has already taken steps toward enhancing the urban forest through the implementation of the National City Urban Forest
Management Planning Project, funded by the CAL FIRE Urban & Community Forestry Grant Program for 2014/2105 (Grant Agreement
8GG14423). This project has 5 objectives: 1) create a GIS-based City Tree Inventory, 2) create an Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP)
for the City's forest, 3) update the City's Tree Master Policies and Ordinances, 4) improve the City's Urban Tree Program Website,
providing a web -based tree maintenance scheduling interface for residents, and 5) plant 400 carbon hungry, drought tolerant trees. The
city and contractors are actively engaged in working toward achieving each of these objectives. Other recent efforts include National
City's collaboration with CIRCLE and Tree San Diego in 2016 to plant 165 trees in the City. National City continues to demonstrate their
commitment to reducing GHG and pollutant's in their community by aggressively pursuing every opportunity to expand and improve
their urban forest.
6B. Project Objectives - What are the objectives of the proposed project? How do they address the situations and problems
identified in the background section?
The objectives for the proposed project are directly aligned with the objectives of the Urban Forest Expansion and Improvement grant
type, including:
1) Develop a project that is located within and provides benefits to Disadvantaged Communities to counteract the effects of pollution,
reduce unemployment and underemployment, and provide the benefits of urban forests to those that are most in need.
2) Offset carbon emissions through carbon sequestration and avoided emissions to counteract the effects of greenhouse gases in a City
heavily impacted by the industrial Unified Port of San Diego and the San Diego Naval Base. Creating a more pedestrian friendly
environment will further serve the objective of reducing carbon emissions and build on past projects which have established miles of
walkways and cycling paths.
3) Restore a mature urban forest using a diverse pallet of large, California native and friendly, drought -tolerant trees to provide
economic, environmental, and social benefits within the community.
4) Involve the community in tree planting and care and foster stewardship within the residents while educating residents about the
importance of an urban forest and GHG reduction. Provide adult work skills training, school field trips and workshops, fight the effects
of polluting industries, and commit local businesses to the cause.
-20-
6C. Scope of Work - Describe the approach to be used, the design (methods), and implementation of the
project. Include who will be involved with specific tasks and justify why the approach, methods and
implementation is the most effective way to accomplish the objectives. Include a description of project sign
contents and their locations. (continued on next page)
National City will meet each of the proposed objectives in the following manner:
1) Serving Disadvantaged Communities: National City Public Works Department, with a commitment of active participation from local
residents and community groups, including the Urban Corps of San Diego, will plant all 1,700 planting sites within or accessible from a
CaIEPA designated Disadvantaged Community.
2) Offsetting carbon emissions: The City, with the help of a Certified Arborist, has identified 1,700 planting sites which can sustain
carbon -hungry trees and provide shade for cooling of buildings, roads, parking lots, and pathways. A Certified Arborist has assisted with
selecting a diverse planting pallet of carbon -hungry, drought -tolerant trees. Additionally, the City has committed to 9 years of
establishment care for each tree beginning on the first day of the project, exceeding CAL FIRE's required maintenance period by an
additional 6 years.
3) Restoring a mature urban forest: Planting all available 1,700 planting sites within and accessible to the Disadvantaged Community
during the project will advance the establishment of a mature urban forest and the economic, environmental, and social benefits that it
provides. At the City's current rate of planting 40 trees per year, it will take over 40 years to plant all the available planting sites vs the 3
years proposed in this proposal. Tree planting shall adhere to the CAL FIRE "Guideline Specifications for Selecting, Planting, and Early
Care of Young Trees" and irrigation practices shall adhere to the CAL FIRE guide for "Water -Wise Young Landscape Tree Care" in order to
ensure the best chances of success of the project. Suitable planting sites and a diverse, site -appropriate tree species list have been
selected with the assistance of a Certified Arborist. If available, the City will utilize locally sourced, recycled, or non -toxic grey water for
irrigation. No trees will be planted that require excessive long-term watering, fertilizing, exterminating, or controlling of pests and
diseases in order to survive. No trees will be planted that will eventually conflict with overhead or underground utilities or ground -
located infrastructure. No invasive species will be planted. No synthetic fertilizers will be used.
Tree planting and establishment care requirements: The City will seek tree planting services for the majority of the 1,700 trees. The City
will also employ its Public Works Department and leverage partnerships with local community organizations to accomplish a portion of
the tree planting. It is expected that the planting period will occur between early summer 2017 and spring 2020. Trees planted shall
consist of those identified in the tree list. If trees in the tree list are not available from the nursery during that time, the City shall request
from a Certified Arborist and the CAL FIRE Urban Forester approval of alternative large, drought tolerant trees. Nursery tree quality shall
be confirmed as a condition of tree planting contracts. Sites shall be selected as appropriate for the species. As deemed appropriate for
the species, time of year, and planting location, trees may be staked, mulched, or pruned at planting per the CAL FIRE "Guideline
Specifications for Selecting, Planting, and Early Care of Young Trees".
Tree irrigation care requirements: The City will seek irrigation services for 1,200 (1,700 total less approximately 500 trees planted in
irrigated sites) trees. The City will also employ its Public Works Department and leverage partnerships with local community
organizations to accomplish a portion of the tree irrigation. Irrigation is to applied by water truck, or other means available to the City.
It is expected that the irrigation period will commence in early summer 2017 and proceed until all trees have received 3 years of
watering. Those trees planted in 2017 will receive water through the end of summer of 2020. Those trees planted in 2018 will receive
water through the end of summer of 2021. Those trees planted in 2019 will receive water through the end of summer of 2022. And any
trees planted in 2020 will receive water through the end of summer of 2023. Trees shall receive approximately 3 gallons of water per
inch of trunk diameter. Irrigation shall typically be provided during the summer months or other extended dry periods with high
temperatures and low relative humidities. Irrigation may be provided outside of summer months as deemed necessary. Frequency of
watering will be highest in the first year and occur up to 1-3 times per week. Watering frequency will decrease to weekly occurrences in
the second year and bi-monthly occurrences in the third. Any temporary devices used for establishment period irrigation such as tanks,
bladders, irrigation line, or drip nozzles shall be checked regularly for breaks and Teaks.

6C. Scope of Work - Continued from previous page
Tree pruning and replacement requirements: The City will seek pruning, stake removal, and tree replacement services for 1,700 trees.
The City will also employ its Public Works Department and leverage partnerships with local community organizations to accomplish a
portion of the tree pruning and replacement. Tree pruning and replacement shall be provided for all trees every third year following
establishment for 3 cycles per tree. Those trees planted in 2017 will receive pruning and replacement care through the end of summer
of 2026. Those trees planted in 2018 will receive pruning and replacement care through the end of summer of 2027. Those trees
planted in 2019 will receive pruning and replacement care through the end of summer of 2028. And any trees planted in 2020 will
receive pruning and replacement care through the end of summer of 2029. Tree planting shall adhere to the CAL FIRE "Guideline
Specifications for Selecting, Planting, and Early Care of Young Trees". Replacement tree species shall be determined by the original
planting list, or a Certified Arborist and CAL FIRE Urban Forester approved alternative large, drought tolerant tree. Planting, irrigation,
and pruning requirement will be consistent with the above stated requirements.
Irrigation facility requirements: The City will seek services for repairs and upgrades for seven existing irrigation systems and for the
installation of two new high efficiency irrigation systems. The City will also employ its Public Works Department and leverage
partnerships with local community organizations to accomplish a portion of the irrigation systems upgrade and new installation. If
available, the City will utilize locally sourced, recycled, or non -toxic grey water for irrigation. System components shall not include
inefficient irrigation valves, pumps, or sprinkler control timers. Irrigation systems shall be checked regularly for breaks and leaks.
4) Involving the community: The City is working with the Urban Corps of San Diego, a local non-profit organization, to engage the pi
in the tree planting activities. The Urban Corps has been engaged to incorporate elements of the tree planting project into its jobs
training program for youth ages 18-26. Other community partners contacted during the application process include: Tree San Diego,
Olivewood Gardens, Envrionmental Health Coalition, National City Chamber of Commerce, Local School District Parent Teacher
Associations, Local Neighborhood Councils, and CIRCLE. Additionally, the City will utilize public responses garnered through its web -
based tree maintenance scheduling for residents and hold public workshops to educate the public about the project and seek input
from residents. CAL FIRE required posters and signage will be displayed in publicly visible locations near the project.
All tree planting will occur on city -controlled property and there are no engineered infrastructure components of the project. The
project team will be led by the Department of Public Works, in partnership with City planners, an ISA Certified Arborist, local non-profit
organizations, a Registered Professional Forester (as needed), and area residents. The City will put the specialty services work for the
project out to bid to qualified consultants with demonstrated experience in this type of work and use in-house staff as necessary. The
team will work collaboratively throughout the process and will seek public input through various means, including on-line surveys and
public workshops. The team will consult the CAL FIRE Regional Urban Forester for assistance throughout project implementation, and in
subsequent years, to ensure that the Regional Urban Forester's input is taken into account and that the project is meeting expectations
and consistent with current science and urban forestry best management practices in the region.
This is a project -ready project and the City is ready to move forward immediately. The Department of Public Works has extensive
experience in the area of urban greening and tree planting and maintenance and has adequate capacity to carry out this project. The
project has been designed to supplement and not supplant any locally funded budget item.

6D. Project Timeline - Provide a project timeline. Do not list specific dates or months due to uncertainty in when
projects may begin. Plan on projects ending no later than March 30, 2020.
It is anticipated that this project will commence in June 2017 and end no later that March 30, 2020. The City expects that planting will
commence in 2017 and complete no later than March 30, 2020 and that the establishment period care for all trees planted will end by
March 30, 2023. The city will continue to provide pruning, stake removal/adjustment, and replacement services every three years
following tree planting for 3 cycles per tree. The City expects that the last tree pruning cycle will occur in 2029 for those trees planted in
2020.

IX Other co -benefits
An ambitious tree planting schedule, the selection of carbon hungry site -appropriate trees, and the City's long-term commitment to
tree maintenance will ensure that the following project co -benefits are maximized as the urban forest matures.
Improved air quality: Approximately 350,000 vehicles are exported out of the Unified Port of San Diego annually and exports are
expected to increase to over 400,000 vehicles by 2017. This project will improve the air quality for the City's large pedestrian population
by removing air polluting by-products of the port's industrial activity. Additionally, a cooler urban environment will be more pedestrian
friendly and encourage human powered forms of transportation, reducing vehicle emissions.
Improved public health: The City has received requests from PTAs, school boards, and other community groups to plant trees in the
western part of the City, where many schools are located and many pedestrian facilities have been developed over the last three years.
Additionally, the City has been removing the heavily polluting industries from the western part of the City via a Planning Ordinance.
This project, in combination with the Ordinance, and recent development of pedestrian facilities, will encourage active forms of
transportation while simultaneously removing pollutants that impact the health of susceptible pedestrian and school populations.
Enhanced active transportation: The City has received comments from the San Diego Naval Base that tree planting and further
development of cycling facilities is needed to provide a more pedestrian friendly environment for the over 30,000 Navy personnel that
commute to the base daily. The Navy and the City are both working to encourage forms of active transportation and reduce vehicle
miles traveled by Navy commuters. The cooler urban environment and improvements in aesthetic beauty and air quality will create a
more pedestrian friendly environment and encourage human powered forms of transportation. National City has over 12% pedestrian
population, one of the highest in San Diego County.

of the City's urban forest will require maintenance and care. The City's commitment to providing maintenance and replacement
services, in addition to their long-term commitment to urban forest management as evidenced by the ongoing development of the
Urban Forest Management Plan, will result in lasting jobs which require specialty training and provide tangible benefits, such as
reductions in unemployment, to the community.
Stormwater reduction: Through canopy interception and improved soil infiltration, advancing the establishment of a mature urban
forest will reduce stormwater runoff.
Improved water quality: Stormwater reduction through improved infiltration and canopy interception replenishes fresh ground water
supplies. Receiving waters of San Diego Bay will take in fewer pollutants over time.
Other co -benefits: It has been demonstrated in similar projects that the communities receive numerous additional co -benefits including
higher property values, reduction of heat island effects, and reduced road maintenance costs.
9. Certifications & Forms- The following certifications must be filled out and signed by the appropriate person.
