<br />Project Manager. Chambers Group prepared the IS checklist to confirm the appropriate CECtA documentation for the
<br />HVAC improvements and turf replacement at Washington Middle School. The improvements included accessibility
<br />upgrades as required to meet ADA requirements, utility upgrades, and replacement and repairs for the interior and
<br />exterior buildings. The project also included preparation of a Historic Resources Assessment because the school was
<br />listed eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, and the Administration Building and Science and Shop Bullding
<br />are considered character defining features.

<br />Project Manager. Chambers Group is working with the City of Newport Beach in the construction of a pedestrian and
<br />bicycle bridge overcrossing Superior Avenue, a new larger parking lot with a range of 100 to 128 parking spaces and a
<br />fenced dog park on an approximately 3.4-acre site in the City of Newport Beach. The proposed bridge will connect
<br />Sunset Ridge Park to the new asphalt parking lot lorated at the nnrtheast corner of West Coast Highway and Superior
<br />Avenue. Due to the IocaLion of the project and being partially funded by federal funding, Chambers Group is responsible
<br />for preparing CEQA documentation, NEPA documentation and California Coastal Development Permits for the project.
<br />Technical Studies (air quality, GHG emissions, energy and noise analyses, initial site assessments, hazardous materials
<br />analysis, Coastal California Gnatcatcher focused surveys, visual assessment) and a subsequent IS/MND were prepared
<br />as an appropriate CEQA documentation to provide the public and responsible agencies with information about the
<br />potential environmental impacts associated with implementation of the proposed Project. This IS/MND Includes a
<br />prnjpct-level analysis of the potential efferts assnriated with the Prnjpct. As a part of the NFPA documentatinn,
<br />Chambers Group was responsible for coordination with the Caltrans Local District and the resulting preparation of a
<br />Categorical Exclusion as the appropriate form of NEPA documentation.

<br />Project Manager. Meghan is managing the preparation of the IS/MND for the project, which also included incorporating
<br />information from a previously prepared Biological Technical Report also prepared by Chambers Group. The project is
<br />to install an overlook deck as well as a trail extension from the deck to the existing trail network. Trespassing in attempts
<br />to gain access to the view near the cliff edge has become a large issue throughout the preserved open space at Harbor
<br />Point. As a result, the area is littered with trash and the vegetation is becorning highly fragmented due to the increase
<br />in off trail foot traffic. In addition, the unauthorized access to the cliff edge is a public safety hazard, as there is no railing
<br />or fencing present. The proposed overlook location will allow enhanced public access to coastal resources, as well as
<br />reduce the overall disturbance and fragmentation of the surrounding habitat.
