Proposal for CEQA Services Associated with McFadden and Fairview Development Project (2022-37-RFP) ECORP Consulting, Inc. Proposal for CEQA Services for the McFadden and Fairview Development Project (2022-37-RFP) PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK Task 1 - Project Management and Coordination During the course of the Project, as needed, ECORP will attend up to five hours of Project meetings on a virtual platform or conference calls with the City, provide technical support, prepare Project status reports and updated schedules, and maintain appropriate communication with the client and team members. Task 1 Deliverables: ♦ Ongoing coordination throughout the contract. Task 2 — Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Assessment The assessment of air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will quantify short-term (i.e., construction) and long-term (i.e., operational) emissions generated by the Proposed Project using the most recent version of the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) software. CaIEEMod is a statewide land use emissions computer model designed to quantify pollutant emissions associated with operations from a variety of land use projects. Project criteria air pollutant emissions will be compared to the thresholds of significance promulgated by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), including SCAQMD's recommended Localized Significance Thresholds (LSTs). LSTs were developed in response to SCAQMD Governing Boards' Environmental Justice Enhancement Initiative (1-4). The LST methodology assists lead agencies in analyzing localized impacts associated with project -specific level proposed projects. In the case of the GHG analysis, Project GHG emissions will be assessed against the SCAQMD numeric industrial land use threshold of 10,000 metric tons of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) annually. Additionally, the Proposed Project will be evaluated for consistency with the California Air Resources Board 2022 Scoping Plan (the City of Santa Ana Climate Action Plan, a comprehensive strategy for the City to reduce GHG emissions, does not align with Statewide goals beyond 2020, and therefore will not be employed in the Project analysis). ECORP proposes to evaluate potential air quality and GHG-related impacts in a technical report. The analysis will be supported by modeling documentation, which would be included as an appendix to the technical report. ECORP will complete the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Assessment within 3 to 6 weeks of receiving a notice -to -proceed and all needed documentation such as a traffic study, if prepared, and a finalized Project Description and Site Plan.
