a°�• °sr Bridge Structural Design Services Caltrans for transmittal to Caltrans Head Quarters and the Federal Highway Administration. The Final CE will consist of the revised Draft CE and the technical reports prepared for the project. Prepare Administrative Initial Study (IS) - The results of the technical studies will be presented in a IS. We will prepare an administrative IS incorporating the findings of the technical studies for submittal to the project engineer and the City for review (6 copies). Public Review - We will prepare a draft public distribution list based on input from the City. The IS/MND will be circulated for public review and submitted to the Office of Planning and Research (OPR) (up to 50 copies) per the distribution list once the list has been approved by the City. We will prepare and publish a Notice of Intent to adopt a Negative Declaration for the Draft IS/MND. We will plan and budget for attendance at three public meetings (Public information/ workshop, Planning Commission, and City Council) as well as for preparation for these meetings. The Draft Response to Comments will be prepared for submittal to the project engineer and the City. Prepare MND - The DMJM Harris team will be prepared for submittal to the Santa Ana City Council for review and approval. As part of the process for the Final MND, we will prepare response letters to agencies that submitted comments on the Draft IS/MND, prepare and file a Notice of Determination (NOD). Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) - We will prepare a draft and a final MMP in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15097 for use in ensuring implementation of the mitigation measures for the project. Task 4.4: Permit Compliance: It is anticipated that a routine jurisdictional delineation tailored to the site characteristics and conducted in accordance with current agency standards will be adequate. Concurrently, we will determine the extent of any streambed areas subject to review by CDFG under Section 1600 et seq. of the California Fish and Game Code. The results of the delineation will be presented in a detailed report that will include mapping of the jurisdictional areas. The results of the delineation are subject to verification by the Corps and CDFG. Because the bridge spans the Santa Ana River, it is anticipated that the following permits will be required: • Section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP) authorization from the Corps • Section 401 water quality certification from RWQCB • Section 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement from CDFG The DMJM Harris team will prepare permit application packages accordingly. Each application packet will be reviewed with the project team, and any required changes will be made prior to submittal to the respective agencies. DMJM HARRIS I AECOM It is anticipated that the permit application will include the following tasks. Task 4.5: Section 404 NWP Package. The jurisdictional delineation report prepared by our team will be the basis of the existing documentation of site conditions. • We will submit an NWP Preconstruction Notification (PCN) package, which includes a cover letter to the Corps, an explanation of the project, a description of impacts, the site plan, and applicable graphics. • We will coordinate with the project team and prepare a written statement explaining how avoidance and minimization of impacts to waters of the U.S. can be achieved on the project site per General Condition 13. • A description of the best management practices during construction and long-term maintenance activities. • A copy of the hydrologic report detailing (Q 10 and Q100) for pre- and postconstmction will be prepared by the project engineer. • Complete copies of the Sections 401 application and 1602 notification will be included. • We will prepare all necessary graphics and other supporting materials with assistance from the project engineer and applicant as needed. Wherever feasible, existing materials will be used to minimize costs. • Project site photographs showing typical conditions of the site will be provided per Regional Condition 2. • A site plan overlaid with jurisdictional drainages showing locations and extent of impacts. • Many of the same materials used for the 404 package can be submitted as part of the 401 application and the 1602 notification. Only minimal mitigation measures are anticipated for impacts to jurisdictional areas. If deemed necessary by the agencies, a conceptual habitat MMP will be prepared and submitted. The final mitigation plan will be based on feedback from the applicable federal and State agencies. The scope of work for the plan is submitted as an optional task. Task 4.6: Section 401 Water Quality Certification Application. We will prepare and submit a water quality certification application, which will include the following materials: We will use information prepared for the 404 package to provide a complete project description. This will include the purpose, location, total site acreage, types of water bodies on site, and total acres of waters of the U.S. We will prepare an assessment of water quality impacts addressing types of fill material to be discharged, impacts to beneficial uses of the water body, any expected water diversions, and potential pollutants associated with the new land use. Standard Regional Board application form. A complete copy of the hydrologic report prepared by the project engineer and detailing discharges (Q10 and Q100) for pre- and postconstruction. 04601 324.5557 16
