6. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION (ED) A Project Study Report Equivalent (PSRE) was completed and the project was cleared environmentally in 2014 (Appendix _). Coordination with the appropriate federal agencies is required to determine if an Environmental Revalidation or other appropriate level of clearance is necessary based on the passage of time and changed conditions to the project site. The project funding plan includes Federal, State, and Local funds; therefore, preparation of documents and studies for obtaining compliance with NEPA are required. As all the project funding sources have not been finalized and additional grants are required, the Consultant shall assume NEPA compliance with environmental requirements for both Federal Rail Administration and Federal Highway Administration. Since the Project is expected to eliminate an existing grade crossing, it is anticipated that the Project shall be statutorily exempt from compliance with CEQA. However, in order to ensure the City is minimizing potential effects on environmental resources, businesses and residents in the area, the Project shall require all technical studies that are typically performed as part of the environmental documentation process. The Consultant shall prepare a thorough project description defining the limits of project - related activities, which shall be used as the basis for environmental technical studies conducted for this project. Pursuant to section 21080.13 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15282(g), the state legislature has determined that railroad grade separations shall be statutorily exempt from CEQA documentation and public disclosure requirements. Accordingly, a more formal CEQA environmental document is not required for this project. However, in certain instances and at the discretion of the sponsoring agency, it is sometimes prudent to undertake certain, limited environmental studies in order to better understand and manage the consequences of a particular proposed railroad grade separation. Such is the case for the Santa Ana Blvd. Grade Separation, for which the City and Caltrans has determined that certain selected studies should be undertaken. This scope of work responds to that decision. As part of the scope of services, the Consultant shall prepare a Notice of Exemption (NOE) and provide to the City for approval and submittal to the State Clearinghouse. In addition, once biological, cultural, noise, and community impact reports have been completed and approved by the City, the Consultant shall prepare a letter report summarizing the findings of these reports, as well as general information related to public outreach that was conducted in support of the project. Consultant shall develop Project Vicinity and Project Location Maps, as well as a set of maps that clearly shows the location and features of the alternative under consideration. Additionally, base mapping of the environmental components/data. These components/data include Section hazardous materials sites, and land uses and right-of-way sites. Data from publicly available sources shall be used and adjusted, where appropriate, based on field surveys and observations conducted by the Consultant. Environmental Clearance, Technical studies and other information may be required to be prepared include, but not limited to the following: Natural Environment Studies, Biological
