EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana On -Coll Environmental Review Services for Housing Division Notice of Determination Within five days of E I R certification and project approval (if any), Rincon will submit the draft Notice of Determination (NOD) to the City for delivery to the County Clerk and/or State Clearinghouse. i:: ll .J X%r- 7,-"� I, For EAs and EIRs, a reasonable range of alternatives will be identified during the course of the study in concert with City staff. For EIRs, evaluation of alternatives will normally be in less detail than that for the proposed project, though the analysis will provide decision -makers and the public adequate information to decide between alternatives_ This section will also identify the "environmentally superior alternative." If the "no project no building" alternative is determined to be environmentally superior, the EIR will identity the environmentally superior alternative among the remaining scenarios. In addition, NEPA requires analysis of each project alternative in an equal level of detail so all project alternatives will be analyzed in a single "Environmental Consequences" chapter. From Rincon's experience working on many similar projects, we understand the need to effectively engage the public in the planning and environmental analysis process. Communication with the stakeholders will be important in ensuring the success of most large-scale EIRs. Rincon will prepare materials for, attend and participate, as needed, in all major public meetings, including public workshops, open houses, and public hearings leading up to certification of the EIRs. Depending on the City's preference, noticing, public circulation, and filing of notices with the County Clerk, and the State Clearinghouse if necessary, will also be part of Rincon's scope of work.

For projects requiring Section 106 review, the following subtasks would typically be performed by Rincon: 1- Coordinate with the City and SHPO as needed to establish the Area of Potential Effects (APE) 2.
