McDonald's at Santa Clara Avenue Project TASK 2 TECHNICAL ANALYSES/STUDIES Subtask 2.1 Peer Review of Existine Technical Studies We understand thatthe Applicant will prepare and provide to Psomas a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP); Hydrology and Hydraulics Report; Geotechnical Report; and Traffic Analysis. Upon receipt of the studies, Psomas' Project Manager and technical experts will conduct a peer review of the studies for adequacy and compliance with CEQA. Upon review of each of the studies for CEQA adequacy, a Memorandum will be prepared and submitted to City staff summarizing the comments and recommendations of the Project Manager and technical experts, as appropriate. If additional studies/reports are prepared by the Applicant and provided to Psomas for peer review and incorporation into the IS/MND, a budget augment will be required (through the contingency budget) for the additional peer review. Subtask 2.2 Deliverables • Electronic Copies (email) of Peer Review Memoranda Subtask 2.2 Pronosed Technical Analvses Several technical analyses will be prepared as part of IS/MND sections by Psomas' in-house technical experts in support of an adequate environmental document, consistent with CEQA requirements. These analyses include Air Quality, Energy, Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions, and Noise. The scopes of the said analyses are provided below. Additionally, South Environmental as a subconsultant to Psomas will prepare a Historic Built Environment Assessment to analyze the Project's potential impacts related to historic resources. The scope is provided below. Air Oualitv and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Psomas will develop Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions analyses based on a review the Project site plans, traffic study, and related Project data. Pso nas will prepare a Data Needs Request for the Project team to provide data relative to phasing, construction methods, grading quantities, building energy use, stationary sources, vehicle traffic, and Project features related to the required technical analyses. Based on information provided, Psomas will draft reasonable worst -case scenarios for anticipated construction activities (i.e., most intensive phase, type of construction, construction start and completion dates, anticipated soil export and import, equipment mix) and long-term operations to be used as the basis of the air quality modeling. Psomas will conduct the air quality analysis consistent with the South Coast Air Quality Management District's (SCAQMD's) recommended methods for CEQA analyses and will evaluate the Project's contribution to regional emissions to the air basin as well as localized concentrations to uses proximate to the Project site. For the regional emissions analysis, Psomas will calculate the Project's construction and operational criteria pollutant regional (mass) emissions using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CaIEEMod). Model results will be compared with the SCAQMD's CEQA regional emissions thresholds to determine the potential for Project related impacts to the air basin's regional emissions. For theanalysis of potential impacts to the local area proximate to the Project site, the SCAQMD requires that Project -related construction emissions be evaluated against the localized significance thresholds (LSTs). LSTs are used to determine whether sensitive uses near the Project site are exposed to air pollution that exceeds the ambient air quality standards (AAQS). For the operations phase of the Project, it is expected that a qualitative analysis will demonstrate that the Project would not generate traffic congestion at a major intersection at a magnitude that would cause a local carbon monoxide (CO) a.wrw«aincnr 05.m.
