The ECR will be included with <br />the CE and it is assumed that this document will be reviewed as part of the City and Caltrans review of the CE. <br />Deliverables: Notice of Exemption <br />Five (5) copies each of Draft and Final Categorical Exclusion and MMRP <br />Optional Scope for Environmental Assessment/Finding of No Significant Impact, if required <br />If for some reason a NEPA CE were found to be not appropriate for the proposed project then an Environmental <br />Assessment/ Finding of No Significant Impact (EA/FONSI) would be prepared. Under this scenario the previously <br />identified Section 4.0 (Environmental Document) scope would be replaced with this Section 4.0 scope of work. In <br />addition, the following modifications would be made to the meeting and project management tasks for the project. <br />Environmental Assessment/Finding of No Significant Impact <br />Draft Environmental Assessment <br />It is assumed that if a NEPA CE is not agreed upon by Caltrans then the appropriate document for the proposed project <br />will be an Environmental Assessment (EA) followed by a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). If a higher-level <br />document is required then a separate scope and fee will be provided for preparing the increased level of documentation. <br />Utilizing the information contained in the technical reports, along with additional information and analyses that are <br />performed, as necessary, a Screencheck Draft EA will be prepared based on the current version of the NEPA-only <br />document annotated outline that is available at the time that the document is initiated. The Screencheck Draft EA will <br />be submitted to the City and Caltrans for review. Along with the Screencheck Draft EA, the external QA/QC form and <br />environmental document checklist will be prepared and submitted. The QA/QC form and checklist are assumed to be <br />included with each submittal. <br />Following the incorporation of comments from the City and Caltrans the Draft EA will be prepared and submitted for <br />City and Caltrans review. Following this review the revised Draft EA will be prepared and submitted for City and <br />Caltrans review. Following this review any comments will be addressed and a revision workshop will be conducted, if <br />needed. Following the workshop the second revised Draft EA will be submitted to the City and Caltrans for <br />concurrence and for the Caltrans NEPA QC review. Following the incorporation of comments from the Caltrans <br />NEPA QC review the final Draft EA will be submitted for Caltrans review and approval/concurrence. It is assumed <br />that the project will qualify as a regular and not a complex EA. It is assumed that 30 hard copies and one original of <br />the Final Draft EA will be printed for circulation, including the 15 copies to be submitted to the State Clearinghouse. It <br />is assumed that technical studies will be provided on CD only for inclusion with the documents that are made available <br />at the City, Caltrans, and the local library. ICF Jones & Stokes will utilize a distribution list developed with the City <br />and Caltrans for distribution. It is assumed that distribution to agencies will consist of a CD and not hard copies of the <br />document. All other recipients would receive the Notice of Availability (NOA) only. The NOA will be mailed to <br />property owners and residents living within 500 feet of the proposed project using a mailing list generated and provided <br />by AECOM's right-of-way consultant or the City. <br />Deliverables: Screencheck EA (two copies City; eight copies Caltrans). <br />Draft EA (two copies City; eight copies Caltrans). <br />Revised Draft EA (two copies City; eight copies Caltrans). <br />Second Revised Draft EA (two copies City; eight copies Caltrans). <br />Final Draft EA for approval/concurrence (two copies City; eight copies Caltrans). <br />Final Draft EA 30 hard copies and one electronic (pdf) Draft EA for availability <br />(including the 15 copies for submittal to the State Clearinghouse) (Volume 1); 15 <br />CDs with technical studies; 100 CDs with Final Draft ED <br />It is assumed that up to 100 notices will be distributed. <br />Notice of Availability/Notice of Opportunity for Public Hearing <br />While the final Draft EA is being reviewed by the City and Caltrans a Notice of EA Availability and Notice of <br />Opportunity for Public Hearing announcing the publication of the EA will be prepared for publication.
