Section 2: Scope of Work (continued) PROPOSED WORK PROGRAM David Evans and Associates (DEA) proposes to assist the City of Santa Ana in preparing the EIR for the proposed School and Community Facilities Redevelopment Plan. DEA environmental services will be comprehensive and legally adequate. It will start with a preliminary review and Initial Study for the proposed plan and will end with the preparation of the Notice of Determination. At the end of the work program, all documents, computer files and materials used for the project will be provided to the City for future use and reference. The EIR for the proposed Redevelopment Plan will be a program EIR which will address the impacts of different projects planned under the proposed Redevelopment Plan. This will include school facilities, parks and other community facilities which will be constructed over a period of time, depending on the availability of redevelopment funds. The program EIR will provide a general view of the impacts associated with all individual projects and will discuss impacts which may be individually insignificant but cumulatively adverse. It will also allow the development of area -wide mitigation measures to address the collective impacts of the Plan. Future projects under the Redevelopment Plan shall be evaluated in the light of this EIR, to determine if additional or more specific analysis is required according to CEQA. This program EIR can also serve as the basis for an initial study on future projects under the plan. It may be incorporated by reference by subsequent EIR's on the Redevelopment Plan or used by supplemental EIR's for projects with significant impacts that were not analyzed in this program EIR. Another component of this work program involves public participation through the conduct of community workshops. The public will have an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed Plan and the findings of the environmental review during community workshops held throughout the planning process. The knowledge of City actions and programs will provide a broader frame of mind on the proposed creation of the city-wide redevelopment project. It will allow residents to better understand the plan, with consideration for the advantages and disadvantages of the proposal. The following work program describes the approach and methodology that David Evans and Associates, Inc. will use to prepare the Environmental Impact Report for the proposed School and Community Facilities Redevelopment Plan. The work program for completing the EIR will consist of ten primary tasks: Task 1: Project Organization/Notice of Preparation Task 2: Preparation of the Project Description Task 3: Environmental Impact Analysis Task 4: Mitigation Measures and Monitoring Program City of Santa Ana Redevelopment Plan EIR 2-3
