Home Browse Search

A draft IS/NOP will be submitted to the City for review and comment, and RE Consulting will coordinate with the City to prepare an appropriate mailing list of agencies, organizations, individuals and adjacent landowners for mailing notifications and applicable information. The IS/NOP will be revised based on the comments received from the City and a revised document will be provided. It is anticipated that one round of review and comment will be required. RE Consulting will have copies prepared for distribution and publication for the 30-day NOP public comment period. The IS/NOP and the comment letters received will be included in the EIR as an appendix. It should be noted that if public, organization, or agency comments received during the NOP comment period identifies issues not previously anticipated, refinement of the EIR scope may be required, and will be discussed with City staff. Task 3a. Public Scoping Meeting. RE Consulting will assist the City in a public scoping meeting in compliance with CEQA Public Resources Code Section 21083.9 during the 30-day ISlNOP public comment period. The scoping meeting will provide the public the opportunity to have input into the proposed content of the EIR and provide a preview of any environmental concerns the public may have. RE Consulting will prepare a PowerPoint presentation for the meeting and will also provide comment cards and a sign -in sheet for the public scoping meeting. It is assumed that the City will identify and secure meeting venue location. Task 3 Deliverables: An electronic copy (both MS Word and Adobe PDP) of the IS/NOP; 50 hard copies of the NOP; 15 hard copies of the IS/NOP for the State Clearinghouse; and 10 hard copies of the IS/NOP for the City. PowerPoint presentation, comment cards, and a sign -in sheet for the public scoping meeting. Task 4. Technical Studies Air Quality Technical Study. The project site is located within the South Coast Air Basin (Basin) under the local jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). Urban Crossroads will conduct an air quality analysis in accordance with the procedures and methodologies set forth in the SCAQMD's CEQA Air Quality Handbook. The air quality assessment for the project will include a discussion of baseline air quality information, consisting of a description of climate and meteorological conditions, applicable federal and state standards, existing local and regional air quality, and an overview of the applicable federal, state, and local policies and regulations as they pertain to the project. The impact analysis will include an evaluation of the project's conformance with the most recent air quality management plan (AQMP). Using the most recent version of the California Emissions Estimator Model, a quantitative analysis of the air emissions will be presented, which includes emissions associated with the construction (i.e., on -site construction equipment, fugitive dust, and off -site vendor and worker trips) and long-term operational emissions (i.e., project -related vehicle trips and on -site area source emissions). The estimated construction and operational regional emissions will be quantified and evaluated against the applicable SCAQMD thresholds of significance to determine whether potential air quality impacts would result. In addition, as recommended by SCAQMD, both the construction and operational impact analyses will include an assessment of the project's possible effect on local air quality (including localized carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and fine particulate matter) concentrations at nearby sensitive receptor O_ RE CaF311I1l11g renee@renvconsulting.com
