Environmental Consulting Services (200 East First American Way) I City of Santa Ana scope of work. The short-term noise measurements will be conducted at potentially sensitive noise receivers and the long-term measurement will be conducted on the project site. to Evaluate construction noise based on construction equipment data to be provided by the City and noise modeling methods recommended by the U.S. Department of Transportation. • Model conditions using traffic data provided by LLG, traffic noise along project-adjacent roadways and noise generated by the neighboring land uses, using the most recent version of the FHWA-approved traffic noise prediction model. Key roadway segments will be assessed, to adequately determine existing and future conditions. • Predict noise from the on-site operations (i.e., traffic, parking lot, and project equipment) at the nearest noise- sensitive land uses using data from similar, prior projects and available published data. e Give special consideration to nearby sensitive receptors, including existing residences and hotel. The significance of noise impacts will be assessed based on relevant thresholds (City of Santa Ana, State and federal). If significant noise impacts are identified, mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a less-than- significant level (where feasible) will be recommended. The findings of the noise analysis will be included in a technical report provided as an Appendix to the EIR and summarized in the noise section of the EIR. Cultural Resource Evaluation ICF recommends that a records search, locality search, site visit, and assessment report be prepared to evaluate the potential for archeological and paleontological resources to be found on the project site. This evaluation will: ¦ Conduct research records at the South Central Coastal Information Center of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS). o Survey the site in accordance with professional standards and methodologies. For costing, we assume no resources will be identified in the field requiring evaluation. • Will follow the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology's guidelines related to paleontological resources, which are widely accepted as an industry standard. ¦ Assess the project-related risks to paleontological resources by utilizing published geologic and paleontological literature and museum databases, likely including the databases of the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History, San Bernardino County Museum, University of California Riverside, California Academy of Sciences, and University of California Museum of Paleontology in Berkeley. The findings of the cultural resource evaluation will be included in a technical report provided as an Appendix to the EIR and summarized in the Cultural Resource section of the EIR. Task 5. Prepare Administrative Draft EIR To utilize time most efficiently, preparation of the technical studies would occur concurrently with preparation of the Administrative Draft EIR. ICF will prepare a fully edited Administrative Draft EIR for the City's review and comment. The Administrative Draft EIR will include all of the required components as outlined in the CEQA Statutes and Guidelines and will incorporate relevant case law and recent legislation. ICF will also consult with responsible agencies, review available information, and prepare the appropriate analysis for the respective issues. The EIR will focus on the potentially significant environmental impacts identified in the IS/NOP. The EIR will synthesize the previously identified technical studies and provide a qualitative analysis of the other environmental resource areas. The EIR will include a discussion of the existing conditions/affected environment, environmental impacts, levels of significance of the impacts, and appropriate mitigation measures for each environmental Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on de title page of this proposal.
