2010 - Existing Condition Analysis KOA will not conduct additional traffic counts. The 2010 existing conditions will be represented by the old counts based on the understanding that the 2010 counts are less than the old counts due to the economic meltdown, The old counts should represent more conservative conditions. Sample comparison table and explanation with why we are not recounting and recalculating all intersections will be included in the updated report. The City will provide traffic counts conducted in October 2009 for KOA to conduct the comparison analysis. 2012 - Project Built Out Condition Analysis KOA will contact the City to obtain the updated the cumulative project lists and update the analysis accordingly. 2035 - General Plan Build Out Condition Analysis KOA will use OCTAM 3.3 model to generate 2035 volumes. Post processing will be performed in order to obtain a set of 2035 volume data for operational analysis. KOA has recently completed another study in City of Santa Ana, however, the study area is not within the close proximity of this project. Revise Cut -Through Traffic The revision will be based on the analysis scenarios indicated in Task I through Task 3. It is assumed that the Traffic Impact Study will be reviewed by the City only, and require no more than one revision based on City input. Task 4 — Hazardous Materials Records Search The EIR, as prepared by URS to date, incorporates the results of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) prepared in 2007 (as contracted directly from Empire Homes to LandAmerica Assessment Corporation). Given the date of the above -reference Phase I ESA, URS will conduct an updated regulatory database search (e.g., Environmental Data Resources, Inc.) to identify any potential hazardous waste and materials concerns that were not otherwise identified in that 2007 Phase I ESA. The EIR will be updated to state that a subsequent regulatory database search was performed to supplement the initial Phase I ESA. This proposal does not include preparation of an updated Phase 1 ESA, or level of reporting or investigation not otherwise described herein. Task 5 — Update Draft Ells_ for Public Circul This task involves updating the pertinent sections of the Draft EIR to account for the updated technical studies as described herein (Le,, traffic, hazardous waste, and air quality). It is assumed that the updated EIR will be reviewed by the City no more than once prior to public circulation. Task 6 — Prepare Notice of Completion and Circulate Draft EIR URS will prepare the Notice of Completion for the City's transmittal to the State Clearinghouse and County Clerk's Office. It is assumed that the City will update the Draft EIR distribution mailing list that was previously compiled (by the City) as part of URS' original contract. It too is assumed that the project proponent and/or City .will mail copies of the Draft EIR to those individuals and agencies to whom it
