The Cordoba team will design and maintain the Administrative Record for the project, which will be maintained at the URS Santa Ana office. This will be maintained in electronic and hard copy format. The Administrative Record will be transferred to the City upon Certification of the EIR and Record of Decision regarding the EIS. Deliverable(s) - Regular team conference calls and meetings per an agreed schedule Task 10.3 Regular Conference Calls / Meetings By the time the project reaches the detailed environmental stage, frequent communication among the environmental team members, the project designers, the public involvement coordinators, and city staff is essential to ensure that the environmental analysis, presentation of impacts, and recommended mitigation is consistent with the project description of the alternatives, which is frequently evolving as additional details are made known. Communication will take place on a weekly basis. We will also be responsible for maintaining communication with the environmental resource agencies in coordination with the City of Santa Ana. Deliverable(s) - Regular team conference calls and meetings per an agreed schedule Task 10.4 Field Surveys, Technical Data Collection, & Technical Studies The following reports/technical studies will be prepared consistent with CEQA, CEQA, and NEPA standards and protocols: • Aesthetics & Visual Assessment - Photomontages and other sight line impact assessments will be prepared. Impacts of the project alternatives on aesthetic values are highly subjective. This project area is characterized by a built up urban setting. The presence of the alternatives may be objected to by some people as being dramatically different and potentially discordant visual element. Deliverable(s) - Technical Report with up to 8 photo -simulations and analysis for incorporation into the EIS/EIR. • Geology, Soils, Minerals, Geological Hazards, and Hazardous Materials Technical Report - A Geology & Geological Hazards Technical Report that also includes the hazardous materials assessment will be prepared. Deliverable(s) - Technical Report covering Geology. Soils Minerals Geological Hazards, and Hazardous Materials with analysis for incorporation into the EIS/EIR. Air Quality Impacts Technical Report - Being in the South Coast Air Basin, an Air Quality Impact Assessment (AQIA) Report will be prepared. Criteria pollutants and non - attainment status for the basin necessitate a close look at long and short-term impacts. The combined sources of particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, and nitrogen oxides will be assessed for each alternative and compared to regional emission limits specified by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). Further, given the passage of recent State legislation and success of several lawsuits, the Cordoba team will include a qualitative analysis of project impacts on greenhouse gases. Deliverable(s) - Air Quality Impact Assessment technical report with Qualitative GHG analysis for incorporation into the EIS/EIR. 291 Page
