DUDEK Task 5. Scoping Meeting Dudek will work with City staff to organize and participate in a scoping meeting to solicit public input on the scope of the EIR or EIR/EIS. We will work with City staff to determine the most appropriate format for the scoping meeting (i.e., open house or community presentation) and prepare all materials necessary for the scoping meeting (e.g., PowerPoint presentation, comment cards, sign -in sheets, handouts, poster boards). We will provide a translation of notices and materials into Spanish, if necessary. Task 6. Administrative Draft EIR The EIR or EIR/EIS will include a discussion of the existing physical and regulatory setting and impact analysis, including methodology and thresholds, mitigation measures, and residual impacts following the implementation of the mitigation measures. As described, the impact analysis will focus on the environmental issues that are determined to result in potentially significant impacts during the NOP or NOP/NOI and scoping processes. The impact analysis will be based on CEQA Guidelines Appendix G and the latest guidance from the City. The impact analysis will be based on both quantitative and qualitative analysis, and may require the preparation of technical studies or the synthesis of existing available studies to support the analysis. The EIR or EIR/EIS will include all required content pursuant to CEQA/NEPA, including an alternatives analysis, cumulative impacts analysis, and an assessment of growth -inducing impacts. Dudek will work closely with the City (and as necessary, the federal lead agency) to identify and screen a reasonable range of alternatives for analysis in the EIR or EIR/EIS. These alternatives will be based on their ability to feasibly attain most of the project objectives while avoiding or substantially lessening the potentially significant environmental impacts of the proposed project. The cumulative impacts analysis will focus on the potential for environmental impacts from this project, along with other proposed and reasonably foreseeable projects in the area. The list of cumulative projects will be developed in coordination with City staff. The project's contribution to the overall cumulative baseline will be evaluated and discussed, and cumulatively considerable impacts will be identified. We will also summarize the significant unavoidable impacts resulting from the project, and will identify any significant irreversible changes and irretrievable commitments of the environment, and will provide an explanation of issues found not to be significant during the IS process, as well as effects that were studied in the EIR that were determined to be less than significant. We will submit the administrative draft EIR, or EIR/EIS, to the City (and federal lead agency) for review. Following the review of the document by City staff (and federal lead agency) and the incorporation of any comments and revisions requested, we will prepare a public draft EIR for public review. Tasks 7. Preparation and Transmittal of Public Review Draft EIR or EIR/EIS Dudek will work with City staff to secure a mailing list, and prepare the notice of availability and appropriate transmittal letters. Dudek will also prepare the notice of completion (for State Clearinghouse involvement) and post the notice of availability with the County Clerk. Dudek will distribute the documents to the approved mailing list in both hardcopy and CD format, as directed by City staff. Document distribution will use certified mail, regular mail, and FedEx or other form of distribution that can provide tracking records. We will also coordinate with federal agency staff for publication of the notice in the Federal Register, provide draft notices for distribution to area newspapers, and provide electronic versions suitable for posting to the City's website.
