LSA ASSOCIATES, INC. An LSA archaeologist will conduct a pedestrian field survey of portions of the property that are not obscured by asphalt, concrete, or buildings for evidence of prehistoric (Native American) or historic (non -Native American) archaeological materials. Negative findings are stipulated for archaeological resources. If archaeological resources are identified, LSA will advise the client and prepare a contract amendment. LSA will re-evaluate the property for significance in accordance with California Register and local criteria for designation. The buildings and associated features will be recorded on State of California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) forms (523A, Primary Record; and 523B, Building, Structure, and Object Record). LSA will prepare a technical report that will describe the research and field methods used, provide a historic context, evaluate historic resources identified in the project area, and assess the potential of the project to impact any historic resources. In addition, the report will provide mitigation recommendations if appropriate. The completed DPR forms will be attached as an appendix. LSA will provide two (2) bound copies and one (I) electronic copy of the final report. LSA key staff involved in this project will be Casey Tibbet, M.A., who will act as task manager and lead architectural historian and Bill Bell, who will conduct most of the research. Ms. Tibbet meets the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualification Standards in the fields of architectural history and history. Other Issues: Agricultural Resources, Biological Resources, Geology and Soils, Hydrology and Water Quality, Mineral Resources, Public Services, Recreation, and Utilities/Service Systems. Given the project location and the nature/intensity of the use proposed. these environmental topics are not anticipated to result in potentially significant impacts, although some level of impact may be identified and must be analyzed. LSA will describe the existing conditions and provide a limited assessment of these impacts on the environment. Analyses of these topics will be based on readily available existing information contained within the City's General Plan and other applicable City plans/EIRs or available studies relevant to the general project area. TASK 2. DRAFT INITIAL STUDYINEGATIVE DECLARATION LSA's Project Manager will meet with City staff to receive comments on the Administrative Draft Screencheck IS/Negative Declaration (ND).

The purpose of this review will be to verify that the City is satisfied with the new and revised text. At the preprint stage, no substantive changes to technical analyses or conclusions are provided for in the schedule or budget. Legal advertising, reproduction, and distribution of the IS/ND and filing of the Notice of Intent will be conducted by LSA. H \ROBLITILL-S\NEGDECNinter Santa Ana MND Proposal-doc 02/19/08rn A-4
