Bella Terra Residential Community and Temple Project Tribal Consultation. If requested bythe City, Psomas will provide tribal consultation support as needed to the City to fulfill the agency -to -agency consultation requirements of Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) and Tribal Cultural Resources (TCR) as well as Senate Bill (SB 18). AB 52 requires a Lead Agency to provide formal notification to tribal representatives that are traditionally and culturally affiliated to the geographic area where a Project is located. This task assumes the preparation of up to eight letters on the City letterhead; one round of review by the City; and up to four hours of telephone consultation in concert with the City, as needed to consult with Tribes. The tribal representatives have 30 days to request consultation upon receiving the AB 52 notification letter, and they have 90 days to request consultation for SB 18. Psomas can provide further support related to AB 52 and SB 18 consultation, such as additional meetings, minutes, or additional site visits, subject to a Side Letter Amendment. This process would require re- submission to legal for review and signatures. The results of the records searches, site walk, and tribal consultations will be compiled and --described-in the-appropriate-sections-of-the-require-d-environm-ental-document.—If-p-otent[al ----- — significant impacts to resources are identified, Psomas will recommend mitigation measures to address those impacts. This scope of work does not include evaluations of historical properties. Evaluation of properties will require a Side Letter Amendment. This process would require re -submission to legal for review and signatures. Enery Psomas will develop an Energy Analysis for the Project, which wilt include a discussion of the regulatory setting, energy demands, Project energy efficiency measures, impact assessment, and mitigation measures, if necessary. The regulatory setting will include a discussion of the local, State, and federal policies and regulations that apply to the Project. The discussion of Project related energy demands will include quantification of anticipated energy consumption from the Project's construction and operations phases. Construction phase energy demand is due to diesel and gasoline consumption used during the development of the Project. The operations phase of the Project would consume energy related to lighting and heating needs as well as vehicle trips. Potential impacts will be assessed relative to Project consistency with the Energy Element of the City of Santa Ana General Plan and State of California Energy Efficiency Standards. An environmental analysis section for Energy will be prepared to discuss the findings of the quantitative energy analysis. Quantification sheets detailing Project energy consumption will be provided as an appendix. Noise Psomas will prepare a noise and vibration analysis to evaluate potential impacts attributable to the Project. Psomas will visit the Project sito to identify existing noise sources and to measure existing noise levels at the Project site boundaries. A total of eight short-term noise measurements (20 minutes each) will be collected from at least four different locations to characterize ambient noise levels at each of the site boundaries. Psomas will model construction noise levels at the nearest sensitive land uses using the Federal Highway Administration's Roadway Construction Noise Model (RCNM) based on information provided in the Data Needs Request. Analysis of potential vibration impacts will be assessed based on methods established by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).
