CEQA Consulting Services— Walnut Pump Station Building EXHIBIT A: SCOPE OF WORK and determine the significance of impacts to the following environmental resource areas: • Aesthetics • Agriculture and Forestry Resources • Air Quality • Biological Resources • Cultural Resources • Geology /Soils • Greenhouse Gas Emissions • Hazards and Hazardous Material • Hydrology /Water Quality • Land Use /Planning �L P LA NN I n • Mineral Resources • Noise • Population /Housing • Public Services • Recreation • Transportation /Traffic • Utilities /Service Systems, and • Mandatory Findings of Significance Each of the environmental issue areas will be assigned a significance rating of "No Impact," "Less than Significant Impact," or "Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated." (Note: if any significance rating is "Potentially Significant Impact," for which feasible mitigation measures do not appear to be available, we will immediately notify the City to determine how to proceed and advise whether or not a MIND remains the appropriate type of CEQA document.) For each issue area, detailed, objective -based analysis will be provided within the Responses to Environmental Checklist section to provide substantive evidence for the conclusion drawn. References will be cited and relied upon as appropriate. Mitigation measures will be identified for any impacts determined to be potentially significant. TASK 3: PREPARE DRAFT INITIAL STUDY Following City review of the Screencheck Draft Initial Study, T &B Planning will revise the document to respond to any comments or questions received from City staff and /or the City's legal counsel. The budget allocated to this task assumes that comments resulting from the City's review will be moderate to minor in nature and will not necessitate substantial revisions to the proposed project. TASK 4: PREPARE MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM T &B Planning will prepare a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) in accordance with State law and City of Santa Ana requirements to ensure the implementation of mitigation measures following project approval. The MMRP will be provided as part of the Draft Initial Study (Task 3). This proposal includes one round of revisions to the MMRP in strikeout /underline format based on comments provided by City staff, and further assumes that any comments provided by the City will be for the most part minor in nature. TASK 5: PREPARE FINAL INITIAL STUDY AND MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION After the second round of review, the City will either deem the Initial Study adequate or request additional revisions. We assume that the Initial Study will be found adequate or require only very minor changes at this point in the process. However, if any substantive issues remain, T &B Planning will arrange a meeting with City staff to discuss the comments and recommend appropriate ways to address remaining concerns. This scope of work assumes that the Initial Study will conclude that a MND is the appropriate type of CEQA Walnut Pump Station April 26, 2013 T &B Planning, Inc. Page 2 of 9
