Due to the location of the project and being partially funded by federal funding, Chambers Group is responsible for preparing CEQA documentation, NEPA documentation and California Coastal Development Permits for the project. Technical Studies (air quality, GHG emissions, energy and noise analyses, initial site assessments, hazardous materials analysis, Coastal California Gnatcatcher focused surveys, visual assessment) and a subsequent IS/MND were prepared as an appropriate CEQA documentation to provide the public and responsible agencies with information about the potential environmental impacts associated with implementation of the proposed Project.

Harbor Point Park Lookout and Trail Extension, CEQA Documentation, Dana Point, CA Project Manager. Meghan is managing the preparation of the IS/MND for the project, which also included incorporating information from a previously prepared Biological Technical Report also prepared by Chambers Group. The project is to install an overlook deck as well as a trail extension from the deck to the existing trail network. Trespassing in attempts to gain access to the view near the cliff edge has become a large issue throughout the preserved open space at Harbor Point. As a result, the area is littered with trash and the vegetation is becoming highly fragmented due to the increase in off trail foot traffic. In addition, the unauthorized access to the cliff edge is a public safety hazard, as there is no railing or fencing present. The proposed overlook location will allow enhanced public access to coastal resources, as well as reduce the overall disturbance and fragmentation of the surrounding habitat. EXHIBIT 2
