This is a joint project with the City of <br />Irvine, with Santa Ana designated as the lead agency. The project will <br />support the circulation network needed to accommodate future development <br />occurring within both cities (Exhibit 1). <br /> <br />The Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Assessment for the <br />project was released for a 45-day public review period in March 2004. <br />During this review period, Caltrans and FHWA indicated that potentially <br />contaminated properties associated with the preferred alternative should <br />be evaluated further by additional on-site soil sampling and testing. The <br />results of this testing will be used to estimate the magnitude and cost of <br />any cleanup that may be required and will assist in the development of <br />mitigation measures. <br /> <br />The estimated cost for the required services is $150,000. The recommended <br />action is needed to recognize the City of Irvine's contribution of <br />$75,000. The City of Santa Ana's $75,000 share of the cost is funded in <br />the existing project budget. <br /> <br />rIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental <br /> <br />impact associated with this action. <br /> <br />208-1 <br />
