Chambers Group has 67 active employees across a range of technical fields and supporting roles. Services include: • CEQA and NEPA compliance • Habitat restoration and revegetation • Biological surveys and agency consultations • Geographic Information Systems (GIS) • Biological, Cultural, and Marine and Aquatic resources • Environmental planning and permitting • Construction mitigation monitoring C. Scope of Services Environmental Services (including CEQA and NEPA Document Preparation) The following scope highlights the CEQA and NEPA environmental document process. Detailed scope and deliverables will be provided on a project -by -project basis. We understand that the projects would support project applicants, property owners, developers, and City staff. Peer Review Applicant and City -prepared CECIA documents and technical studies will be reviewed by Chambers Group to ensure that each resource area has been adequately analyzed and that questions in the CEQA Appendix G checklist have been answered thoroughly. Chambers Group will review any regulatory information pertinent to the project and call out any changes required based on guidelines published by the Office of Planning and Research if applicable. Either CEQA-level or detailed technical reviews will be completed on technical studies provided depending on the level of effort needed bythe City or Applicant. Chambers Group will also review City and Applicant prepared documents to ensure compliance with the City's General Plan, City Code, specific City plans, and/or Development Code. CEQA Our experienced group of environmental planning staff has an in-depth understanding of CEQA that ensures that we are able to determine the correct CEQA document for the project. Our approach to CEQA is always tailored to each individual project; so, based on the project, level of controversy/complexity, and environmental impacts, we pick the right document to be good stewards of public funds. Public Scoping, Meetings, Hearings, and Participation For typical projects, Chambers Group plans to attend the following: • Project Kick-off meeting with City staff, and other required project attendees • Scoping Meeting (if required) • Public Comment Meeting (if elected) • Public/Comm unity Outreach XJlMI _ Est 1979 • Internal meeting prior to Planning Commission meeting • Planning Commission meeting • City Council hearing for a decision on the project (if necessary) www charnbers9roupinC.c01­n RFP #21-017: On -Call Environmental Review Services for the CHAMBERS Housing Division GROUP City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency Scoping Meeting and/or consultations with agencies are not required by CEQA, but can be a useful tool to supplement required scoping periods. Chambers Group will coordinate with the City, and other agencies deemed appropriate to identify the environmental areas to be evaluated, and the methodological approaches to be used, if requested. A Public Scoping Meeting may be held to present the proposed project to the public and provide them with an opportunity to relay their concerns and suggestions for the environmental studies. A record of these meetings and consultations will be included in the CEQA document. Prior to each meeting, a flyer will be distributed notifying interested persons of the workshop. The focus of these meetings will be to gather concerns of the: • Project stakeholders; • property owners/occupants adjacent to the project site, and • public interest groups, and other concerned individuals. The information gathered during scoping meetings and public comment meetings are helpful in gathering the required information to properly analyze the environmental document for a project, whether it is a Negative Declaration (ND), Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and/or Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR)/Final EIR. Kick -Off and Scoping Meetings After receiving a notice to proceed (NTP) for a project from the City, Chambers Group will be prepared to meet with the City and other relevant parties such as the City consultants and project Applicant(s), at a Project Initiation/Kick-off Meeting to discuss the project and receive all available project information. Chambers Group will work closely with the City to determine what additional data, if any, must be collected in support of the appropriate CEQA document. In addition to CEQA documents, Chambers Group will provide additional related tasks to assist the City such as collaboration with various consultants, State and local agencies, and coordination with the City departments such as the Planning and Building Agency, the Public Works Agency, and the Community Development Agency. CEQA Document Preparation Chambers Group's will provide the City with a tailored approach that adapts to changes in CEQA case law and any CEQA Guideline updates. Our experienced group of environmental planning staff has an in-depth understanding of CEQA that ensures that we are able to determine the correct CEQA document for the project. For example, the Berkeley Hillside Preservation v. City of Berkeley case gives deference to the lead agency for determining when a project may be exempt from CEQA. The summaries below highlight the general approach of CEQA, other technical services, and general administrative support to the City. Preparing the Initial Study (IS) Preparation of an IS Checklist will be completed to confirm the appropriate environmental documentation for a given project. The IS will be prepared using the most recent revision of the IS Environmental Checklist Form suggested in the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G in compliance with CEQA Section 15063. Chambers Group will identify issue areas where no impacts, less than significant impacts, or potentially significant impacts would result from the proposed project. Further analyses will be provided for specific resource areas that may be of concern based on the project area or based on technical analyses provided by outside consultants. These include analyses on a project's consistency and applicability to the City's General Plan policies, zoning, and specifications. The IS will be used as a guide in the decision as to the appropriate environmental documentation to prepare for the project. Chambers Group will provide a recommendation for the appropriate level of CEQA documentation. We understand the importance of being good stewards of public funds and will use our CEQA expertise to ensure that the City is preparing the appropriate CEQA document based on the project impacts and project type. Notice of Exemption (NOE) Chambers Group, in consultation with the City, will determine if there is an appropriate exemption for a project. A project will be analyzed whether it would qualify for a Statutory Exemption (per Article 18) or a Categorical Exemption (CE) under the CEQA, Guidelines. Exclusions granted by the Legislature would be considered statutorily exempt. An IS may be prepared to confirm the preparation of an exemption or provide supplemental environmental analysis for the project. The exemption may also include other technical studies if required by the project. Chambers Group will file the NOE with the Orange County Clerk Recorder. Est 1979 www.chambe1sgr0upinc com RFP #21-017: On -Call Environmental Review Services for the CHAMBERS Housing Division GROUP City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency Negative Declaration (ND)/ Mitigated Negative Declaration (MIND) The process for preparing a ND is the same as a MIND with the exception that a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) is not required under an ND. Therefore, only the MND process is described. A MND will be prepared when a project will have a significant effect on the environment, but such effects can be mitigated to a less than significant. If after preparation of the 15, it is identified that one or more significant impacts would occur, CEQA allows the preparation of an MND when those impacts can be mitigated to a less than significant level. Based on CEQA defined significance criteria, Chambers Group will determine the potential for any adverse or significant adverse impacts and present mitigation measures to reduce any such impacts to a level below significance. Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Preparation of an EIR is a more detailed process and requires more effort than the preparation of a MND. An EIR would be prepared if there is a potential for significant impacts which cannot be mitigated to a level less than significant or if significant public controversy or scrutiny exists. In which case, an EIR would be the more legally defensible document. Preparing an EIR will require completion of several important steps, from study initiation through development of the project description and Draft EIR, to attendance at public hearings and Final EIR preparation. The process for a more complex EIR would likely include additional scoping meetings (if the project is deemed to be controversial), complexity of technical issues, number of alternatives assessed, possibility of extra internal review cycles, more complexity in responding to public comments for the final document, a more in-depth mitigation monitoring plan, and additional public meetings. NEPA We assume that a majority of the environmental documents for the City will be required to also comply with CEQA; however, we have prepared an overview below focusing on compliance with NEPA, should the projects have federal funding or permitting. NEPA Approach The NEPA climate is quickly changing under the current administration, with NEPA regulations being updated more in the past few years than they have since enaction in 1970. Chambers Group staff work hard to stay up to date on the changing regulatory environment surrounding NEPA in order to utilize streamlining opportunities to deliver more concise documents, faster timelines, and lower costs than their competitors. Below is a brief summary of the recent updates to the NEPA regulations and how Chambers Group has adapted. Executive Order 13807 Executive Order (EO)13807 was signed on August 15, 2017 with the purpose of streamlining environmental review and authorization decisions for major infrastructure projects to two years. Following EO 13807, the Department of the Interior signed Secretarial Order (SO) 3355 on August 31, 2017 to streamline the NEPA process for all projects in all Interior Departments, followed by many other Secretaries. In a series of memorandums on implementation of SO 3355, page numbers and timelines of Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Environmental Assessment (EA) documents were limited. EIS documents are required to be 150 pages or less for a standard project and 300 pages or less for unusually complex projects. Additionally, EIS documents must be completed within one year from the issuance of a Notice of Intent (NOI). EA documents are required to be 75 pages or less, excluding appendices, and review of the document is required to be concluded within 180 calendar days from commencement. Chambers Group will actively coordinate with the City and other reviewing agencies to create a detailed schedule including submittal deadlines and review periods in order to maintain compliance with SO 3355 time limits. Further, Chambers Group has internal processes in place to budget page limits in accordance with SO 3355. EO13927 On June 4, 2020, an EO was signed to provide federal agencies the foundation, under the National Emergencies Act, to speed up environmental permitting in response to the National Emergency Concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Outbreak. The EO allows agencies to take all reasonable measures to accelerate actions that will strengthen Est 1979 www.chambersgmupinc com RFP #21-017: On -Call Environmental Review Services for the CHAMBERS Housing Division GROUP City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency the economy and return Americans to work, while providing appropriate protection for public health and safety, natural resources, and the environment, as required bylaw. The leaders of all agencies are directed to use, to the fullest extent possible and consistent with applicable law, emergency procedures, statutory exemptions, categorical exclusions, analyses that have already been completed, and concise and focused analyses, consistent with NEPA, the Council for Environmental Quality's NEPA regulations, and agencies' NEPA procedures. With this knowledge, Chambers Group staff will pursue streamlined NEPA processes and push project timelines to the greatest extent possible to take full advantage of the allowances under EO 13927. Council on Environmental Quality Revisions to NEPA Rules On July 16, 2020, the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) published their final rule to update the regulations for Federal agencies to implement NEPA for the first time in 40 years. The final rule revises, modernizes, and clarifies the regulations with the intention to facilitate more efficient, effective, and timely NEPA reviews by Federal agencies in connection with proposals for agency action. Some key changes to NEPA involve the use of CEs, as well as cumulative impacts and GHG analyses. The final rule provides that agencies may use CEs to define actions that normally do not have a significant effect and may adopt another agency's CE determination or portions thereof if the two actions subject to the determinations are substantially similar. Additionally, the cumulative impacts analysis is no longer required as part of a NEPA review. With respect to GHG, CEQ explains in the preamble to the final rule that "the analysis of the impacts on climate change will depend on the specific circumstances of the proposed action" and that agencies "will consider predictable trends in the area in the baseline analysis of the affected environment." Although cumulative impact analyses are not required, CEQ clarified that consideration of the cumulative and indirect effects of climate change are not precluded by the final rule. NEPA Literature Review and Scoping Meeting(s) After receiving a NTP from the City, Chambers Group will be prepared to meet with the City and project Applicant(s), when applicable, at a Project Initiation/Kick-off Meeting to discuss the project. Chambers Group will receive project plans, and other project related information and studies. This information will be reviewed in order to determine the appropriate NEPA documentation to be prepared. Chambers Group will assist City Staff in developing scoping meetings and identify the appropriate responsible/trustee agencies and other relevant stakeholders should the project require these meetings (such as during the preparation of an EIS. While it is not necessary to conduct scoping meetings during the preparation of Environmental Assessment, this could be helpful in data collection for a project. NEPA Documents Categorical Exclusion (CE) There are certain conditions under which NEPA does not apply to an action. These conditions include, but are not limited to statutory exemptions, emergencies, and classified information. Any of these, and some additional exempted actions, may involve the City to some degree, by way of location of the action within the City. Thus, the City may have a role in the NEPA process as a Review Agency, or as a Lead or Co -Lead Agency. As such, the City may be responsible for preparation of some type of record of environmental consideration, documenting the applicability of the NEPA CE. Environmental Assessment I Findings of No Significant Impact (EAIFONSI) An EA is to be a concise public document that focuses on those environmental areas where potential adverse impacts are anticipated. It will provide sufficient evidence and analysis to determine whether or not an EIS is required. The EA would be limited to an analysis of potential significant environmental issues which area identified through a scoping process with the public and review agencies. The EA will include brief descriptions of the need for the proposed project, alternatives to the proposed project, the environmental impacts of the proposed project and its alternatives, and a listing of agencies and persons consulted. Based on the Final EA, Chambers Group will prepare the FONSI that outlines the reasons why the federal agency has concluded that no significant environmental impacts would result from implementation of the proposed action. The FONSI will inform the decision record for the federal agency. EAs and Compliance Findings - 24 CFR Part 580 Chambers Group will prepare an EA in accordance with HUD's format for EA Determinations and Compliance Findings for HUD -assisted Projects (24 CFR Part 58). Est 7 979 vvww.chambersgr0upinc com RFP #21-017: On -Call Environmental Review Services for the CHAMBERS Housing Division GROUP City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency The EA will be prepared utilizing the format preferred by HUD, which includes the following sections: 1. Project Information 2. Funding Information 3. Compliance with 24 CFR 50.4, 58.5, and 58.6 Laws and Authorities 4. EA Factors 5. Mitigation Measures and Conditions The analysis of the environmental effects and significance will address direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of all the alternatives considered. These include the discussion of the Project's compliance with statutes, executive orders, and regulations listed at 24 CFR 50.4, 58.5 and 58.6, and environmental assessment factors including land development, socioeconomic, community facilities and services, and natural features as appropriate. Upon completion of the EA, Chambers Group will enter the EA and associated documents into the HUD Environmental Review Online System (HEROS). HUD Environmental Review Online System (HEROS) To help Responsible Entities facilitate the environmental review process, HUD's Office of Environment and Energy (OEE) has developed HEROS. HEROS is a web -based system for Responsible Entities to prepare and manage their Environmental Review Records (ERR). HEROS applies to all environmental reviews for HUD -assisted projects. HEROS streamlines the environmental review process for Users by replacing the existing paper -based process with a comprehensive web -based system. Users can create electronic Environmental Review Records and manage their reviews from a single, electronic portal. HEROS facilitates easier organization, sharing, and communications between a Responsible Entity and its partners. Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) An EIS would be required if a federal action would result in the significant effects of the quality of the human environment. Chambers Group would prepare Chambers Group would prepare the NOI for publication in the Federal Register for the Project. The comments received on the NO] will be used to further refine those impact areas that will be analyzed in the EIS, if needed. The comments reviewed will be discussed with the City and federal agency to determine whether the scope of the EIS should be expanded. The NOI, comments received, and all correspondence will be included in the EIS appendices. The HIS will address direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts relevant to the proposed action. Following the public review period, the Final EIS would incorporate comments, responses, and changes to the Draft EIS (DEIS). The EIS process ends with a Record of Decision that outlines that federal agency's decision, describes alternatives considered, and discusses any necessary mitigation or monitoring plans.

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Converse) Converse will generally follow the standard practices of the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (Standard: E1527-13) and HUD Guidelines. The ASTM Standard E1527-13 is intended to satisfy one of the requirements to qualify for the Landowner Liability Protections (LLP) within the scope of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), that is, the practices that constitute all appropriate inquiry (AAI, 40 CFR Part 312) into the previous ownership and uses of the property consistent with good commercial or customary practice. The following Scope of Services is proposed: 1. Review of regulatory agency records, aerial photographs, fire insurance maps, city directories, building permits, USGS topographical maps and other non-standard historical sources. 2. Visual survey of property and adjacent sites for indications of potential for contamination or contamination generators.. 3. A reasonable attempt will be made to interview the owner(s), site manager(s), and major occupant(s), and to contact State or local government officials. 4. Prepare report signed by an Environmental Professional for electronic submittal. Phase II Environmental Site Assessment and Soil Testing (Converse) The objectives of a Phase II investigation are to: evaluate the likelihood that potentially hazardous materials are present at the site; assess the nature and concentrations of the chemical compounds; assess the vertical and horizontal extent of impacted soil through testing, as well as the impact to groundwater; determine if the subject property will require some form of remediation and evaluate the most feasible remedial alternative to remediate the site. The scope of services for a Phase II investigation is typically based on the results of a Phase I ESA and/or other Phase II investigations. Est w t�` 1919 www.chambers910upinacom RFP #21-017: On -Call Environmental Review Services for the CHAMBERS Housing Division GROUP City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency Phase II investigations may include the following: a Geophysical Survey, collection and testing of soil, soil vapor, indoor air, and/or groundwater samples, field screening of samples, and/or laboratory analysis of samples. Converse will generally follow the standard practices of the ASTM Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Process (ASTM E1903-19). If a Soil Gas Survey is to be completed, it will be in general accordance with the Advisory -Active Soil Gas Investigations by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control and California RWQCB, dated July 2015. Lead and Asbestos Testing, Monitoring and Clearance (Converse) Asbestos Survey The Asbestos Survey will be limited to the predominant style of accessible materials that are present at the building. Non-destructive sampling methods will be utilized. 1. Visual survey of the structure on -site for suspect asbestos -containing materials and homogeneous areas (areas that have uniform color, texture, and appearance). If construction plans and/or specifications are available, Converse can review these items to help in the identification of potential asbestos -containing materials (ACMs). Suspect materials will be divided into friable and non -friable materials. The homogenous materials will be placed in one of the following Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) categories: • Surfacing Materials (sprayed or troweled -on materials) • Thermal Systems Insulations (materials generally applied to various mechanical systems) • Miscellaneous Materials (any materials which do not fit in the above categories) Accessible interior and exterior areas will be sampled for the presence of asbestos. Destructive sampling will not be performed. Samples of general building components (i.e., visually identical flooring material and ceiling tiles) will be assumed to be representative of materials used throughout the building. Converse will not make a second effort to survey building, or portions of building, not accessible during the field reconnaissance. No destructive sampling methods will be employed during this survey. Therefore, void spaces between walls, floors, ceiling or below soil level will not be observed or sampled. 2. Collect samples of suspect ACMs in representative homogenous areas determined by visual examination and review of plans. Up to 80 bulk samples will be collected following accepted EPA procedures and will be analyzed for asbestos content. The strategy for the collection of asbestos samples will be in accordance with EPA guidance document "Asbestos in Buildings: Simplified Sampling Scheme for Friable Surfacing Materials," EPA 560/5-85-030a, October 1985, 40 CFR 763 (AHERA), and appropriate air pollution control district regulations. According to OSHA Regulation 29 CFR 1926.1101, a minimum of three samples must be collected of each suspect ACM. 3. During the collection of bulk samples, damage to the materials sampled is often necessary to obtain representative samples. Converse will attempt to collect the bulk samples in inconspicuous locations (behind doors, in closets, in corners); however, it will not always be possible, and sample locations will be visible to the owner/occupant/tenant. Converse will patch interior plaster/drywall sample locations and exterior stucco walls with patching materials. However, Converse will not be held responsible for the quality or usefulness of the patching repairs. Samples of vinyl flooring materials will not be patched but will be encapsulated with spray adhesive. In addition to the bulk samples collected from the interiors of the building, samples will be collected from the roofs and exteriors of the building. However, Converse does require written authorization for roof sampling. Please note that puncturing a roof membrane will typically invalidate any warranty for the roof. In addition, Converse does not guarantee the quality or usefulness of roof patching material. 4. Samples collected will be processed for shipment to an accredited laboratory following EPA protocol and chain -of - custody procedures. Samples at the laboratory will be analyzed, on a normal turnaround basis (5 business days), for asbestos content using polarized light microscopy (PLM). The results of the survey will be evaluated to determine if asbestos -containing building materials are present in the collected and analyzed samples. The analytical test results will be presented together with the sample locations, a list �If•/i% Est 1979 m www.chambersgroupinc com RFP #21-017: On -Call Environmental Review Services for the CHAMBERS Housing Division GROUP City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency of materials surveyed found to contain asbestos, and a field generated sample location map. An electronic file (PDF format) of the final document will be provided to the Client. Lead -base Paint (LBP) Survey The LBP Survey will be limited to the predominant style of accessible components that are present in the building. The survey will be performed using a direct reading x-ray fluorescent (XRF) device. Based on Converse's understanding of the property, and the client's needs, budget and schedule as presented, the following Scope of Services is proposed: 1. Visual survey of the areas for representative painted surfaces. Accessible areas will be surveyed. Samples of general building components (i.e., visually identical surface paints) will be assumed to be representative of materials used throughout the building. 2. The limited survey is intended to identify representative painted surfaces. The survey is not intended to identify all painted surfaces or comply with HUD Guidelines, unless stated elsewhere in final project scope of work. The results of the survey will be evaluated to determine if lead is present in the surveyed paints. The XRF logs will be provided in the final report. The logs will contain the following information: paint color of component tested, type of substrate, lead concentration, and condition of paint. The results of the LBP Survey will be incorporated into the Asbestos Survey Report. Lead Risk Surveys Converse will follow HUD Guidance Document Chapter 5 for Risk Assessment and Reevaluation. Scope will include: 1. Determine scope. 2. Interview residents and/or owners. 3. Survey building condition. 4. Determine whether units will be sampled and, if so, select units. S. Conduct visual assessment. 6. Conduct dust sampling. 7. Conduct soil sampling. 8. Conduct paint testing as needed. 9. Sample tap water (optional). 10. Interpret the laboratory results. 11. Analyze data and discuss with client. 12. Prepare report. Limited Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) Caulking Survey The PCB Caulking Survey will be limited to the predominant style of accessible materials that are present at the building. Non-destructive sampling methods will be utilized as the structure is occupied. 1. Visual survey of the structure on -site for locations and condition of the caulk. Areas to be assessed include: • Caulk used to seal doors, windows and expansion joints including any areas where caulk was removed and/or replaced during past renovations. • Caulk found inside the building on the floor, windowsills, ledges, concrete joints, or other areas. • Interior halls and common use areas, particularly in areas where there is a potential for caulk to be touched or peeled away by a person. • Exterior areas, particularly in areas where there is a potential where the caulk may have impacted soil in a frequently used area such as a garden, play areas, bus stops and children pick up areas. 2. Bulk samples will be submitted to an accredited laboratory and analyzed by EPA Test Method 8082 on a standard turnaround time of five to seven business days. 3. The limited survey is intended to identify representative caulking materials. The survey is not intended to identify all materials. The results of the survey will be evaluated to determine if PCBs are present in the collected and analyzed samples. The analytical test results will be presented together with the sample locations, a list of materials surveyed found to contain PCBs, and a field generated sample location map. XJlMkMW Est 1979 www.chambersgroupinc com RFP #21-017: On -Call Environmental Review Services for the CHAMBERS Housing Division GROUP City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency Inventory of Other Hazardous Materials Converse will inventory the following within the building: • Fluorescent Light Fixtures • Thermostats • Drums and/or containers of Hazardous Materials The fluorescent light fixtures will not be disassembled to access and observe the ballasts. Converse will assume one ballast is located within each florescent light fixture. All homogenous light fixtures will be assumed to be the same through a particular building. Thermostats will not be disassembled to observe if mercury is present or not. The thermostats will only be inventoried. Drums and/or containers of chemicals or hazardous materials will also be inventoried. Unlabeled drums or containers will not be opened by Converse. The inventory will be provided in a section of the Asbestos and LBPSurvey Report. Regulation Converse understands that it may be required to assist the City in working with various outside governmental agencies, including but not limited to, the applicable planning commissions and departments; the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC); RWQCB; SCAQMD; California Department of Education (CDE); Division of the State Architect (DSA); and the Office of Public -School Construction (OPSC). Their many years of experience in this field has yielded the necessary knowledge to nurture such relationships. Their experience with some of these agencies is presented below and on the following page: Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) Converse has completed various assessments and documents that were reviewed and approved by DTSC. Their work for the various school districts has included: • Phase I ESAs and CDE Checklists • PEA Workplans, Human HRAs, and Scoping Documents • Removal Action Workplans and Remedial Action Plans • Public Notices and Health and Safety Plans • Quality Assurance Project Plans • Supplemental Site Investigations, Removal Action Workplans & Removal Action Completion Reports The DTSC has a cost recovery program and those completing assessment activities and cleanups under their oversight execute an agreement for cost reimbursement. A phased approach is implemented with components including: • Preliminary Assessment • Soil and Water Investigations • Interim Remedial Measures • Risk Assessments • Establishing Cleanup Goals and Plans • Implementation and Monitoring Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Like the DTSC, the RWQCB has a cost recovery program. Converse almost always completes the Phase I ESA before the RWQCB is approached. In some cases, it is the findings of the Phase I ESA that initiates the contact (Well Investigation Plan Listing or EPA Superfund Area listed Responsible Party). Converse has completed site investigations and cleanup under the oversight of the RWQCB. 12 Est riot`° 1979 www_chambersgroupinc.com RFP #21-017: On -Call Environmental Review Services for the CHAMBERS Housing Division GROUP City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Converse has complied with permitting requirements for various projects and has prepared permit applications and workplans for compliance with landfill clean closure requirements. They have also generated and submitted asbestos cleanup workplans prior to commencing abatement activities. Other Agencies HUD provides applicable regulation and guidance documents for assessments, surveys, and risk assessments. Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead -Based Paint Hazards in Housing (2012) will be followed. Phase I and II ESAs will be completed in accordance with HUD guidance documents and ASTM Standards E1527 and E1903. Transportation Assessments (LLG) Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis LLG will coordinate with City staff to determine if the proposed Project satisfies any of the VMT screening options per the City's guidelines. If screening options are satisfied, LLG will prepare a brief memorandum indicating how the proposed Project satisfies the City VMT screening. If a full VMT analysis is required, LLG will coordinate with City staff to define the study area as the size and shape of the study area can affect the analysis. They will determine the analysis scenarios and confirm the approach for the VMT analysis. Assuming the use of the Orange County Transportation Analysis Model 5.0 (OCTAM 5.0), LLG will conduct with and without project VMT model runs. The without project scenario will assume existing or community plan/general plan land uses. Compare the project VMT for the project against the City VMT. They will determine the project impact based on the City CEQA Assessment—VMT Analysis Guidelines. If necessary, LLG will recommend appropriate mitigation measures to reduce the impact. They will provide the project team a toolbox of potential mitigation or project alternatives for consideration in the analysis. Utilize the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) standards or the local guidelines and determine if the selected mitigation measures reduce the project's VMT impacts to less than significant. LLG will prepare a draft memorandum, which details all the above -mentioned items, their findings, and conclusions. The draft memorandum will be submitted for the City's review and review by appropriate members of the projectteam. If necessary, they will update the draft memorandum based on Projectteam comments and submit a final VMT analysis memorandum to the City. Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) LLG will confirm the development description of the proposed Project with the project team and work schedule. They will coordinate with City staff to confirm the scope of work for the TIA (i.e., number of study intersections). LLG will visit the project study area and inventory existing roadway conditions. They will research existing historical traffic count data at the key study intersections located within the vicinity of the proposed project site. LLG will conduct AM peak period and PM peak period manual turning movement counts at the key study intersections identified to be evaluated by City staff. They will coordinate with City staff to obtain cumulative project information. They will prepare trip generation forecasts for the proposed Project for a typical weekday over a 24-hour period, as well as for the commuter AM and PM peak hours. The trip generation forecasts will either be estimated based on the application of trip rates included in Trip Generation, loth Edition, published by ITE (2017) or based on the operations of the facility. LLG will develop AM peak hour and PM peak hour "existing plus project", "near -term cumulative plus project" and "long-term plus project" traffic volume projections for the key study intersections. They will prepare AM peak hour and PM peak hour "existing plus project", "near -term cumulative plus project" and "long-term plus project" Level of Service (LOS) calculations at the key study intersections. Where necessary, the traffic study will identify the appropriate intersection improvements to offset the proposed Project's traffic impacts. LLG will then prepare a draft report that details all of the above -mentioned items, their analysis, findings, and conclusions. The draft report will be submitted for review and review by appropriate members of the project team. If necessary, the report will be updated based on project team comments, and a final report will be submitted to the City. _0 Est 1979 13 www.chamhersgroupinc.com RFP #21-017: On -Call Environmental Review Services for the CHAMBERS Housing Division GROUP City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency Sample Implementation Schedule Preparation of CEQA and NEPA Documents Including Categorical Exemptions/Exclusions; Initial Study/Environmental Assessments; Preliminary Environmental Assessments and Studies, Addendums, Revalidations, Environmental Impact Reports, Environmental Impact Statements, and combinations of above, standard schedules would be as follows. • Categorical Exemption 2-4 weeks • IS 4-6 weeks • ND/MND 3-8 months • EIR 8-18 months • CE 2-4 weeks • EA 3 months per Secretarial Order 3355 • EIS 12 months from N01 per Secretarial Order 3355 D.

The Chambers Group team delivers results, notsurprises: Because our business includes regularly renewed on-call/as- needed contracts, we have access to multi -disciplinary staff resources who manage simultaneous tasks at multiple sites. This expedites project schedules and provides consistent, high -quality delivery —from preparing permit packages and environmental documentation to mitigation monitoring. We understand that "On -Call" can apply to a variety of projects types within the City. Our team members have worked for several local agencies. This experience has prepared us to reinforce your staff for whatever task order surfaces. We can mobilize the right specialists to be where you need us even on short-term notice, on multiple tasks, and in several locations. Strict and defined communication procedures are vital for contract success, and as such, Chambers Group will provide the City with a communication protocol, including the chain of communication during all project work with whom and when to contact. This plan is in place to minimize delays during unforeseen circumstances in that other team members can easily step in to perform the needed tasks. Chambers Group realizes that the complex processes necessary to produce legally defensible environmental documentation cannot be accomplished without a close relationship with Project applicants, property owners, developers, and City staff, and an in-depth understanding of the project details and characteristics of the local environment. Chambers Group will work seamlessly with the City staff to meet schedules, work within budget, and produce environmental documentation that is thorough and complete. Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Chambers Group has a well -established QA/QC program ensuring the quality of our work. We evaluate all deliverables based on the scope of work, contract, and client expectations. Quality assurance will document the quality control program, outlining any concerns, issues, and reporting on any corrective steps taken to guarantee a quality deliverable. All deliverables, including daily monitoring forms, will undergo QA/QC by key staff members. Chambers Group has a detailed QA/QC process that articulates goals for deliverables, clearly defines the roles, and develops concise on strategies to use to reach project goals. Our QA/QC process is consistent and effective in its procedures for document review. Project Schedules and Reviews Chambers Group uses Microsoft Project to develop its work schedules. The exact schedule of any task will be based upon the individual project. Schedules include time for review and meetings forthe Citys documents. tWk.wt 1979 0 www chambeisgroupino cam RFP #21-017- On -Call Environmental Review Services for the CHAMBERS Housing Division GROUP City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency As the project progresses, the schedule would be updated and revised as needed, to respond to changing conditions, and only at the City's direction. In response to any conditional changes, Chambers Group will work with the City to determine the cause for any delay and take corrective actions to readjust the schedule. Schedule changes due to circumstances beyond participants' control will be immediately broughtto the attention of the City and readjusted with the City's approval. Actions to ensure schedule adherence may include adding additional technical professionals to complete the task or reassess the direction of the task and utilize new personnel. Chambers Group does not anticipate schedule delays on projects; however, the firm is prepared to address them. Chambers Group is available to provide support during all stages of CEQA and NEPA document development and would look to further our approach that engaging early in the process will help shape the scope of the analysis provided and prevent timely and costly re -work during the later stages of project development. The most effective time to bring a third -party reviewer into the project is with the preparation of a thorough project description. In providing an intensive review of the project description before analysis is done reduces re -work later in the process. A third -party reviewer will identify deficiencies in a project description that would prevent effective and efficient analysis for any resource area. E. Relevant Experience Chambers Group is known for providing technically proficient experts who are responsive and communicative with our clients. Chambers Group has built this reputation on decades of experience preparing appropriate CEQA and NEPA documents for complex projects; preparing required resource agency permit applications, preparing mitigation plans; and monitoring construction activities for compliance. Conducting environmental analyses and documentation for development projects, including complex and sensitive projects, is Chambers Group's specialty. We are experienced in preparing appropriate CEQA documents and technical studies. Chambers Group's staff has ongoing relationships with many State and local agencies, and the firm maintains an understanding evolving environmental legislation and meeting the stringent requirements of federal, State, and local regulatory agencies. Our team of technical experts will provide scientific objectivity, environmental expertise, defensible environmental analysis, and technical documentation to support the City in meeting its augmentation of staff in the review and approval process of development project goals. Chambers Group's environmental planners in association with other members of our team have decades of experience providing CEQA compliance services on privately initiated development such as residential development, commercial development, mixed use development, energy and communications and also agency -sponsored projects such as transportation upgrades and improvements, parks, stormwater, and municipal planning projects. Our team combines our experience with proven management techniques that focus on flexibility, responsiveness, and accountability. Many of our planners currently serve on their respective Chapter of the Association of Environmental Professionals (AEP) Board which allows our planning team to stay informed of the rapidly changing regulatory environment. Several staff members hold positions on the AEP Board of Directors. This gives ourteam immediate access to the AEP Legislative Committee which closely tracks and responds to pending legislation. We use this access and knowledge to help our clients stay ahead of upcoming changes and hot buttons as we navigate the CEQA process. Chambers Group realizes that the complex processes necessary to produce legally defensible environmental documentation cannot be accomplished Without a close relationship with City staff, and an in-depth understanding of the project details and characteristics of the local environment. We work seamlessly with project Applicants and City staff to meet schedules, work within budget, and produce environmental documentation that is thorough and complete. Our team offers experience from being on both sides of the counter. 17 Est 1979 www.chambersgroupinc com RFP #21-017: On -Call Environmental Review Services for the CHAMBERS Housing Division GROUP City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency Compiled Listing of Relevant Chambers Group Project Experience in the last 5 years Project Location Client Contact Phone Completion AT&T Highway 127 EA and Baker, CA Forkert Engineering & Forkert, Mike (714) 963-6793 03/10/16 Technical Studies Surveying, Inc. x229 Temecula Library Expansion JD survey and report Temecula, CA David Evans & Associates Powell, Gavin (951) 294-9346 09/01/18 Peters Canyon Regional Park CEQA IS/MND for GDP/RMP Orange, CA County of Orange Richardson, Tuan (949) 585-6451 07/13/20 Beaumont Brookside RV- ENV2018-0005 Beaumont, CA Cityof Beaumont Taylor, Christina Y (951) 572-3212 11/30/18 Peters Canyon Fire Archeological Surveysg Tustin, CA Countyof Orange Richardson, Tuan (949) 585-6451 02/10/20 Irvine School District PA6N MMRP Irvine, CA Irvine Unified School District Hernandez, Ed (949) 279-4656 08/01/19 AB 52 Consultation forvarious Beaumont, CA Cityof Beaumont Taylor, Christina Y (951) 572-3212 09/30/18 projects Beaumont Self Storage IS/MND Peer Review.

Building 1 is proposed to include 41 one -bedroom units, and six two -bedroom units. Building 2 includes 18 one -bedroom units. The project will provide a total of 59 one -bedroom units that average 709 gross square feet in size and six two -bedroom units that average 871 gross square feet in size. The 3.9-acre project site is currently home to Blessed Sacrament Episcopal Church, a well -established anchor in the community. The purpose of the project is to provide low- and moderate -income housing to seniors ages 62 and up earning less than 60 percent of the AMI. Seniors have specialized housing needs and fixed incomes that are not able to meet the demand of market -rate housing. The project provides the opportunity for seniors to live in a safe, supportive, and affordable environment. Developing a housing community with rent -restricted units for senior residents would also enable the City to meet the unique housing need of senior residents and advance the City's effort to meet their RHNA of 231 units for low and very low-income households. Preparation of this document helped the Orange County Housing and Community Development Department secure grants to build the proposed housing. The HUD Environmental Review Online System (HERDS) was utilized with this project. Orchard View Gardens EA, Buena Park, CA Client: County of Orange, Craig Fee, OC Housing & Community Development, (714) 480-2918 The Project involves the development of 65 affordable units for senior citizens and one exempt (i.e., market -rate) manager's unit. These units would assist senior citizens with low and moderate incomes, by providing affordable housing. The project would also help the City meet their Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The Project involves the subdivision of the existing parcel into two new parcels. The southern parcel (Parcel 1) would maintain St. Joseph's Episcopal Church and surface parking on 1.44 acres. The newly created 1.76-acre parcel occupying the eastern and northern portion of the site (Parcel 2) would be developed with a primary residential apartment building with a 3,000-square-foot community center and nine single -story casitas that would be located within three single -story buildings, accommodating 66 residential units in total. Preparation of this document helped the Orange County Housing and Community Development Department secure grants to build the proposed housing. HEROS was utilized with this project. Mountain View Affordable Housing Community Project, City of Lake Forest, Lake Forest, CA Client: County of Orange, Reference: Craig Fee, OC Housing & Community Development, (714) 480-2918 The Project involves the demolition of an existing office building located at 24551 Raymond Way and construct a 71- unit affordable housing apartment complex on the proposed 1.965-acre site. The development will provide several recreational amenities, including an approximately 2,050-square-foot community center, a small playground for young children, outdoor fireplace with seating areas, and large activity lawn. The Project requires approval of a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Tentative Parcel Map, Site Development Permit, Affordable Housing Agreement, and Planned Sign Program. The Project proposes to provide affordable units to households earning less than 60% of the Area Median Income, of which 12 of the units will be set aside for Permanent Supporting Housing. HEROS was utilized with this project. 38580 9th St. East Property NEPA, Palmdale, CA Client: City of Palmdale; Reference Name: Sarah Mailes, (661) 267-5368 The Project is to eliminate blight for the Project site, on a spot basis through property acquisition and clearance and demolition of the vacant, unsightly 1,715 square foot building, associated parking lot and paved walkways. The Project site is situated in a central part of the City of Palmdale. The Project is funded by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program through HUD. Environmental review was conducted to comply with CEQA and NEPA and all HUD rules and regulations that govern the environmental review process, as described in 24 CFR Part 58. Chambers Group conducted the Environmental Assessment Determinations and Compliance Findings for HUD -assisted Projects 24 CFR 21 Est www.chambersgroupinc com RFP #21-017: On -Call Environmental Review Services for the CHAMBERS Housing Division GROUP City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency Part 58 and associated technical studies to assist the City in completing the Environmental Assessment analyzing the potential effects on the human environment. Irvine Unified School District (IUSD), Irvine, CA Client: Irvine Unified School District; Reference Name: Jesse Barron, (949) 936-5316 Chambers Group provided IUSD with professional environmental services for CEQA compliance for modernization projects, new construction projects, and upgrade projects. One project in particular with a hazardous material component included: Planning Area 6 North Elementary School Environmental Services. Irvine Unified School District proposed to build a new elementary school, PA6 North Elementary School to address the increasing enrollment demands for the District within the Orange County. PA 6 North Elementary will accommodate a maximum of 1,000 students with 75 staff members and will provide K-6th grade educational services. The District contracted the preparation of a Preliminary Endangerment Assessment (PEA) for the project that included oversight with the Department of Toxic Substances Control to oversee its preparation in accordance with the California Education Code. Chambers Group prepared an IS/MND, including technical studies for air quality, noise, cultural resources, geological and other hazards evaluation, and additional discussions that complied with Title 5, Section 14010 of the California Code of Regulations. The project was approved by the California Department of Education.

Vista Soleada Supplemental EIR, Riverside County, CA The Vista Soleada Project is located on approximately 80 acres adjacent to the City of La Quinta, in Riverside County. The project originally involved the development of 230 residential units, however, after discovering tribal cultural resources on the project site, the Supplemental EIR looked at the impacts of removing 32 residential units from the plans, and construction of a Cultural Resources Preservation Lot. Implementation of the Project Characteristics that were developed in the agreement with the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indian (TMDCI) Tribe, impacts to archeological resources or TCRs would be less than significant. The project included a General Plan Amendment from Agricultural to Medium Density Residential and Commercial Retail uses, Specific Plan Approval, and Zone Change. Liberty Lane Apartment Project IS/MND and Environmental Assessment, Redlands, CA The Liberty Lane Apartment Project involves the development of an 80-unit apartment project intended to provide affordable housing for veterans, individuals with special needs, and low-income households. The 4.7 acre vacant and unimproved Project site is located on the southwest corner of West Lugonia Avenue and Texas Street in the City of Redlands. The Project comprises six 2-story residential buildings, allowing for 60 one -bedroom units, 19 two -bedroom units, and 1 three -bedroom unit; and a 1-story community building. Major issues identified for this project included cultural resources, traffic, and noise. Environmental Assessment Determinations and Compliance Findings (in compliance with 24 CFR Part 58 for HUD -assisted projects) were also prepared for this project. Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood and Conservation Plan (EHNCP) EIR, Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino County, CA The EHNCP Plan Area (Plan Area) is located along the northeastern edge of Rancho Cucamonga (City). The 4,393 acre Plan Area includes the 3,176 acre Upper Band and 1,217 acre Lower Band areas. Approximately 305 acres located in the western edge and southeast corner of the Plan Area are currently within the City, and the remaining 4,088 acres consists of unincorporated area in the County of San Bernardino within the City's Sphere of Influence. The EHNCP Project would include the annexation of the portions of the Plan Areas not currently within the City and the adoption of the EHNCP as a Specific Plan to create a framework to provide for the conservation of additional open space in the Rural Conservation Area (RCA) and development in the Neighborhood Area (NA). Roughly 3,565 acres of the Plan Area would provide for conservation within the RCA and the northern NA, and roughly 828 acres of the NA would allow for development as further detailed. The Plan would concentrate development in a pattern of compact, walkable new neighborhoods in the NA and implement the City's existing General Plan land use designations in the RCA. The Plan would permit the development of up to 2,900 residential units and 180,000 square feet of neighborhood shops and restaurants in the NA, along with a new K-8 School and other public facilities and limit development in the RCA to a 22 Est 1979 wwvv.chambers91_0upinc com RFP #21-017: On -Call Environmental Review Services for the CHAMBERS Housing Division GROUP City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency maximum of 100 units on privately owned property! n the RCA.

The SCAQMD Look -Up Tables were utilized for the localized analysis and the SCAQMD's Risk Tool V1.103 was utilized to calculate the cancer risk from gasoline dispensing activities at the nearby homes. The analysis found that the project would result in less than significant air quality, energy or GHG emissions impacts. The noise report analyzed construction noise levels with the FHWA RCNM, utilized the FHWA-RD-77-108 model to analyze operational vehicular noise and utilized reference noise measurements of similar gas station facilities and typical noise propagation rates to analyze noise impacts from the proposed project to the nearby homes. A significant nighttime noise impact was found to be created by the proposed air/water machine and mitigation was provided that restricted the operation of the Air/Water machine during the nighttime noise sensitive hours of 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. In addition, the noise analysis analyzed construction and operation -related vibration impacts, which found that the proposed pile driving during construction would create a significant vibration impact. Mitigation was provided that required the use of sonic pile drivers.
