Hydrology & Water Quality - The EIS/EIR must describe area watersheds, drainages, streams, and water bodies. The potential for impacts from flooding, tsunami, and seiche is likely to be less than significant. Potential impacts to hydrology and water quality from project alternatives generally consist of disruption of storm water flows and water quality issues associated with construction activities (e.g., Santa Ana River crossing) and maintenance and storage facilities for transit vehicles. Implementation of design features and Best Management Practices specified in a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan should be adequate to reduce impacts to less than significant. A quantitative level assessment is proposed, given the site impact and disturbance from project alternatives summarizing setting, conditions, and impacts. Deliverable(s) - Hydrology and Water Quality technical report with anal sis for incorporation into the EIS/EIR. • Land Use & Planning - The Cordoba team will describe existing land uses, zoning, and General Plan designations as well as the Renaissance Plan, field reconnaissance, and aerial photographs. The EIS/EIR will describe whether proposed uses will conflict with adopted zoning, designations, or the terms of other land use plans. Impacts are expected to be less than significant and to require no additional mitigation. Deliverable(s) - Land Use and Planning technical report with analysis for incorporation into the EIS/EIR. Noise and Vibration Study - A noise analysis based on the FTA noise model will be prepared for the project. Base line short and long-term noise readings will be taken at key sensitive receptors. Conclusions will be converted into an EIS/EIR section, utilizing City and FTA noise criteria. In areas with nearby residences, some neighbors may be concerned about changes in not only the loudness but also type of sound. Deliverable(s) - Noise and Vibration technical report with analysis for incorporation into the EIS/EIR. Cultural Resources Technical Reports - The Cordoba team will prepare SHPO compliant technical studies such as the CEQ compliant Overview Report, CEQ Compliant Survey/Inventory Report, and Cultural Resources Data Recovery and Cultural Resources Mitigation & Monitoring Plan. A records search of multiple sources is required, pedestrian surveys for archeology and historic resources, and consultation with relevant agencies and tribes is required. In addition, the City's Historic Resource Commission will be advised of the study findings. The Cultural resource studies, meeting or exceeding Secretary of the Interior Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation (48 FR 44716, September 29, 1983, as amended and annotated), will provide the EIS/EIR with sufficient data to identify the presence of the cultural resources in the project area, evaluate the potential for additional surface or subsurface resources, assess the potential significance of identified resources, and develop measures to mitigate potential adverse effects such as appropriately documenting the most significant resources. The cultural resources section of the EIS/EIR will be based on the following: - An existing data review from the South Central Coast Information Center, the National and State Registers, the City of Santa Ana local resources list, and local historic societies, which will be summarized in an Overview Report 311 Pa
