Sagecrest's work plan details our approach to developing, managing, and - implementing all actions for the Peer Review as follows: Task 1 - Kick-Off Meeting/Request for Information The Sagecrest project manager will meet with the City project manager to discuss the project and request/receive all project related materials necessary to conduct the IS/MND Peer Review. Task 1 Deliverable(s): Attendance at kick-off meeting Task 2 - Technical Studies Peer Review Upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed (NTP), Sagecrest will review the Fiscal Impact and Economic Benefit Analysis, Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas, and Energy Study, Noise Study, General Biological Habitat Assessment, Jurisdictional Determination and Consistency Analysis Report, and Phase I Environmental Site Assessment prepared by the Applicant's consulting team. The purpose of this review is to ensure the technical studies adequately identify and, if necessary, mitigate all potential impacts from the proposed project in accordance with the City of Santa Ana and CEQA guidelines. Each technical study will be reviewed by specific technical specialists. The peer review deliverable will include mark-up PDF versions of the reports as well as preparation of a brief memorandum of findings that will include a bulleted list of general comments followed by bulleted lists of specific comments for the report, broken down by individual section. Finally, the peer reviews will conclude with a summary that highlights any issues identified in the reports and recommendations for moving forward. No supplemental background research will be completed as part of the peer review. Should additional research or tasks be required, Sagecrest will include appropriate recommendations in the peer review memorandum. Sagecrest assumes up to three rounds of peer review for the technical studies. The following tasks describe the sub-tasks for each technical study under Task 1.
