Proposal for CEQA Analysts July 26, 2021 Garry Avenue Business Park Pace 6 5. Greenhouse Gas — Kimley Horn 6. Noise — Kimley Horn 7. Trip Generation & VMT — Kimley Horn 8. Phase 1 ESA 9. Geotechnical Report We assume the City will provide all of these technical reports at the time of project initiation. EPD will review the studies for adequacy for CEQA analysis, not a full peer review of the analysis. Therefore, the CEQA adequacy review will focus on: 1. the appropriateness of the methodology and analysis; 2. confirming the. conclusions are supported by factual and clearly disclosed evidence; 3. consistency among reports based on the approved project description and accurate representation of project -related information; and, 4. whether the analysis meets the applicable CEQA provisions and the State CEQA Guidelines. EPD will provide written comments on the technical studies, which EPD assumes the City will review and supply to the applicant along with any City department comments on the studies. EPD assumes that the applicant's consultant team will complete all necessary and requested revisions and forward a revised technical document with responses to the comments for each study. EPD will review the revised reports to ensure that all necessary and required comments have been addressed and resolved. One round of review is assumed. EPD Prepared Technical Studies The followingadditional studies are proposed in support of the CEQA document. 2.2: Cultural Records Search 2.3: Health Risk Assessment 2.4: Historical Resources Assessment 2.5: 2.2. Cultural Records Search The project site has been fully developed. Although unlikely, the potential for cultural resources discovered during earth moving construction activities could occur due to the timeframe when the existing improvements were constructed and the likelihood that cultural or tribal monitoring did not occur. EPD will perform a non - qualified consultant record search request to the South -Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) located on the California State University Fullerton campus. The record search would provide additional information regarding whether cultural resources have been discovered within a VA mile radius of the project site, providing cultural resource sensitivity in the project area. Due to circumstances related to COVID-1 9 policies, the SCCIC has restricted access and hours. This is resulting in delays in the receipt of information regarding previously recorded cultural resources. It is noted that the timeframe for receipt of this information is currently six to eight weeks. 2.3. Health Risk Assessment (optional) The project is not located near sensitive receptors. If the project generates less than 100 new daily heavy- duty truck trips (dependent on the ITE trip rates used in the traffic analysis), the potential health risk from project -related truck traffic will be addressed qualitatively, using the recommendations from the CAPCOA "Health Risk Assessments for Proposed Land Use Projects. If the project's truck trips exceed 100 per day, a
