Section 1—Project Understanding The City of San Juan Capistrano(City)requires the services of a qualified environmental consulting team to prepare an Initial Study(IS)as a requirement for an Orange County Transportation Authority(OCTA) Bikeway Corridor Improvement Program Grant application for the proposed City of San Juan Capistrano Bikeway Gap Closure Project(project). The City of San Juan Capistrano Bikeway Gap Closure Project improves bikeways throughout the City to improve connectivity, safety and ridership. Specifically the project has seven locations that the City is requesting funding under the OCTA BCIP' grant program. These locations are listed below. 1. The Trabuco Creek Bikeway Gap Connection 2. The East Open Space Bikeway Gap Connection 3. Rancho Viejo Road Bikeway Gap Closure 4. La Novia Gap Closure 5. Camino Capistrano Gap Closure 6. The Del Obispo Street Bikeway Gap Connection 7. Alipaz Street Bikeway Gap The project consists of upgrades to existing bikeways listed in the OCTA Commuter Bikeway Strategic Plan for the City of San Juan Capistrano. The proposed project also provides bikeway improvements to systems listed on the OCTA Commuter Bikeway Strategic Plan for proposed bikeways. This project brings connections from the City's bikeway system to bikeways in Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo and future Orange County systems for Rancho Mission Viejo. EI's team will efficiently prepare an IS to assess the potential environmental impacts that may result from development of the proposed project.The IS will comply with the State California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) Guidelines(Section 15000 et seq.)and will include a review of the environmental resource areas identified in Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines. The IS will be streamlined in order to avoid scheduling delays and will include the standard public notice, circulation, and review periods required for IS projects. H. Section 2—Scope of Work EI will prepare an IS that is consistent with Section 15063 of the State CEQA Guidelines for the project. The IS will review all environmental resource areas provided in Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines. EI understands that issues related to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, biological resources, cultural resources, water quality (particularly as it related to water crossings during construction),and transportation and traffic will be of particular concern for the project. EI will research and review all documents,reports,databases,as well as other resources including: • OCTA Commuter Bikeway Strategic Plan; e City of San Juan Capistrano General Plan; • California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices; • Other existing and relevant plans, reports, databases, and studies related to the proposed project site in order to identify the existing context and to evaluate any potential environmental impacts associated with development of the project. Bicycle Corridor Improvement Program 4 , j i Environmental Intelligence,LLC EI's team will use this research to complete an IS that complies with the State CEQA Guidelines, Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines, and includes any specific directives provided by the OCTA and/or the City's Environmental Administrator or project manager. EI will assess the environmental factors that could potentially result in significant impacts. EI will ensure that the IS complies with Section 15063 and Article 6 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The IS will determine if the proposed project has the potential to result in any significant effects on the environment that would require fiuthez environmental analysis in an environmental impact report(EIR). Based on the nature of the project, EI expects that the IS will show that project does not.have the potential to result in any significant effects on the environment and that a Negative Declaration may be prepared for the project. EI's dedicated IS team will be responsible for efficiently completing the tasks identified in the following tasks for the project_ TASK 1:Proiect Management Following authorization from the City to initiate work on the project,EI will coordinate with the City to finalize the scope of work, schedule, and project understanding; attend the kick-off meeting(see Task 4); obtain any existing documents from the City; and to perform a preliminary site visit. EI's project management duties and assignments will be provided for the duration of the tasks that are described in this scope of work(anticipated to be 2 months).Ms.Eimon Raoof Smith will be the City's primary point-of-contact for communication, scheduling, quality assurance, and budget control. The project management duties will include oversight of each of the tasks described below in consultation with the City. EI will remain in consistent communication with the City via email and telephone conversations through the duration of the work efforts. Work Products Weekly Status Emails TASK 2: Prepare an Initial Study The contents of the IS will be consistent with all applicable provisions of 15063 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Executive Summary: EI will prepare an executive summary section that briefly summarizes the project description, overview, project purpose and need, and environmental conclusions. A table displaying the environmental findings, specifically,the potential impacts and mitigation measures (if applicable)will also be provided in this section. Project Description: The project description will be prepared in coordination with the City and will be incorporated into the IS by El. This section will provide a detailed project overview, project location, project characteristics, construction scenario, and relevant project elements. EI will use the project description to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of the project. Environmental Assessment: EI will complete a focused environmental assessment that will include an introduction as well as an analysis of the CEQA issue areas.EI will utilize all relevant existing information(as appropriate)for assessing the environmental impacts associated with the proposed project. All resource areas will include an assessment of: 1) environmental setting; 2) applicable laws, regulations, and standards; 3) significance criteria; 4) impact analysis (both construction and operational); and 5) mitigation measures (if applicable). Maps, graphics, tables, and figures will 5 i Environmental Intelligence,LLC also be provided in the sections, where relevant. The environmental assessment section of the IS will include a discussion of project's potential to result in impacts related to the following resources: Aesthetics - EI will assess the visual resources within the project area (including scenic highways, scenic resources,and scenic vistas),and describe sensitive receptors. The project is expected to be consistent in its design and relevant components with the existing bikeway trails in the area.EI will use relevant information including the site plans,City's General Plan and State of California Officially designated State Scenic Highways to determine whether the project will substantially damage scenic highway resources,substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and the surrounding area, or create new sources of light or glare. EI will complete a site visit to assess and record the current site conditions for this analysis. Air Quality / Greenhouse Gas Emissions - EI will evaluate the air quality conditions and greenhouse gas emissions relevant to the project.The conditions within the City's area—the South Coast Air Basin and South Coast Air Quality Management District(SCAQMD)will be assessed,sensitive receptors will be identified, and the potential for the proposed project to violate or exceed existing plans, California Ambient Air Quality Standards, or state attainment(according to the California Air Resources Board;GARB),will be assessed for the project.Although there would be the potential for short-term construction related impacts the project consists of improvements to bikeway trails, which would be expected to reduce the vehicle miles traveled per year. This shift would be expected to result in a long-term positive air quality and greenhouse gas emissions impacts. i EI has retained the services of Terry A. Hayes Associates (TAHA)to prepare an Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis. This analysis will focus on the emission benefits realized by implementing bikeway improvements projects. The City has indicated that the proposed project would result in a regional decrease of 793,682 vehicles miles traveled per year. TAHA will quantify the associated decrease in criteria pollutants and ozone precursors using the CARB's EMFAC2011 model. EMFAC2011 is the latest emission inventory model for motor vehicles operating on roads in California. This model reflects CARB's current understanding of how vehicles travel and how much they pollute. The EMFAC2011 model can be used to show how California motor vehicle emissions have changed overtime and are projected to change in the future.Both construction and operational emissions associated with the project will be evaluated. The assessment will include a comparison of regional (e.g., equipment and truck trips) and local (e.g., equipment) construction emissions to the significance thresholds established by the SCAQMD. Construction assumptions will be established in coordination with the City. The findings of the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis will be incorporated into the Air Quality section and Greenhouse Gas Emissions section (which will follow Geology and Soils)of the IS. e Biological Resources-EI will describe all existing general and sensitive biological resources that may be impacted by the project. This section,will include a review of the California Natural Diversity Database, the California Native Plant Society resources, Orange County _ Natural Communities Conservation Plan/Habitat Conservation Plan, as well as other databases and resources that are related to biological resources, including but not limited to additional documents, surveys;plans,policies, and other resources that are maintained by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and California Department of Fish and Wildlife. EI will also 6 t " Environmental Intelligence,LLC describe any local, regional, or other conservation plans that may be relevant to the analysis of the project. This proposal assumes that EI will complete one biological resources survey (to assess the biological resources including the wildlife, biological habitat and the City's creeks, riparian habitat, and creekbeds i.e. San Juan Creek and Trabuco Creek which would be located alongside that by the project). • Cultural Resources - EI has retained the services of Cogstone's archaeological and paleontological specialists to provide support for the completion of the cultural resource section of the IS. This section will include a records search and review of background research at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, South Central Coastal Information Center at California State University, Fullerton, and through Native American consultations, as well as a review of geological maps, prior paleontological studies and describe any existing archaeological or paleontological resources that occur in the project vicinity and provide ananalysis of potential impacts of the project on these resources:This section will also identify whether the project would be expected to result in a substantial adverse change to historical or archaeological resources as defined in Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines; or would disturb or destroy unique paleontological resources, geological features; or human remains. A field survey for the presence of cultural or paleontological resources is not required for preparation of an IS. However, a technical memo will be prepared and will provide the result and recommendations for the project. • Geology and Soils- EI will assess the potential for the project to expose people or structures to risks related to fault rupture, seismic ground shaking, seismic-related ground failure (including liquefaction), and geotechnical factors. EI will utilize information including a review of the ridgelines located in the City, the State Hazards Map and the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist to asses these potential impacts. • Hazards and Hazardous Materials -EI will review an Environmental Data Report as well as the appropriate lists and databases to determine whether the project: 1) would create a significant hazard to the public or environment through routine transport-,use, or disposal of hazardous materials, accidental release; 2) would emit or handle hazardous materials within 0.25 mile of an existing or proposed school; 3)would be located on a site that is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to the Government Code Section 65962.5; 4) would.be located within an airport land use plan, within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport or a private airway; 5)would impair or interfere with an adopted emergency response or evacuation plan; or 6) would expose people or structures to risks involving wildland fires. • Hydrology and Water Quality — The City's San Juan Creek and Trabuco Creek may be subject to pollutants and sediments carried in the runoff from project efforts. EI will assess the potential for the project to: 1)violate water quality standards; 2) create or contribute to runoff — a review of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and County Drainage Area Master Plan; 3) alter drainage or discharge; or 4) degrade water quality, J specifically as it pertains to a review of the City's Water Master Plan and San Juan Creek f Watershed Management Study. EI will further assess the potential for the project to impact !i the floodplains or result in flooding, 100-year flood hazards, flood hazards (based upon I Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Maps), or inundation by seiche,tsunami,or mudflow(based upon the site's location). • Land Use and Planning- EI will evaluate the potential for the project to result in impacts to land use and planning including: 1) dividing an established community; 2) conflicting with 7 Environmental Intelligence,LLC applicable land use plans, policies, or regulations including the City's General Plan, County of Orange General Plan, and City Zoning Ordinances or 3) conflict with the Orange County Natural Communities Conservation Plan/Habitat Conservation Plan. The project would be consistent with the existing land uses. ■ Mineral Resources -EI will assess the potential for the project to result in impacts related to mineral resources including the loss of availability of a known mineral resources or the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resources. • Noise-EI will provide an analysis of the potential noise receptors in the project vicinity and evaluate any impacts to these receptors that would be associated with implementation for the project. EI will determine the potential for the project to expose people to excessive or potentially significant noise levels or vibration or result in increases in the temporary or permanent ambient noise levels during construction — operational noise impacts are anticipated to be negligible. • Population and Housing-Using statistical information provided by the U.S. Census Bureau and related data, EI will evaluate whether the project has the potential to result in impacts related to population and housing including inducing substantial population growth, displacing numbers of existing housing,or displacing substantial numbers of people. Public Services - EI will assess whether the project would result in substantial adverse impacts associated with fire protection, police protection, schools, parks, or other public facilities by creating a need for altered or new facilities and staff or by altering the service ratios,response times,or other public service performance measures or objectives. • Recreation-The proposed improvements to the existing bikeway trails are expected enhance the existing recreational facilities. EI will evaluate the potential for the project to increase the use of existing recreational facilities that would result in or accelerate substantial physical deterioration or include the construction or expansion of recreational facilities that could have adverse physical effects on the environment. • Transportation and Traffic-EI will assess whether the project would result in impacts related to transportation and traffic. The project will utilize standards as set out in the OCTA Commuter Bikeway Strategic Plan and California Department of Transportation adopted California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (California MUTCD) 2012. The Department requested and has received a letter to confirm substantial conformance from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for California MUTCD 2012 edition. While the project would be anticipated to have construction related traffic,the City anticipates that the project would reduce traffic in the region by approximately 793,682 vehicles miles per year. Specifically,EI will evaluate the potential for the project to: 1)conflict with applicable plans, ordinances, or policy;2)conflict with traffic congestion management programs(including the City General Plan, Department of Transportation, and relevant traffic related material); 3) alter air traffic patterns; 4) create hazards due to design features; 5) result in inadequate emergency access; or 6)conflict with alternative transportation policies,plans,or programs. • Utilities and Service Systems—EI will assess how the project may affect utilities and service systems. This analysis will focus on the unlikely potential for the project to exceed wastewater treatment, water supply,and solid waste requirements,or require additional storm water facilities. This section will also identify the proj.ect'.s ability to alter the utilities and service systems demand in comparison to existing uses,and will assess the project's potential 8 Environmental Intelligence,LLC impacts to utilities and service systems based on 'previously published and existing information regarding the utilities and service systems. Other CEQA Considerations: This analysis will include a review of unavoidable impacts, irreversible impacts, and growth inducing impacts. The evaluation will review the potential cumulative impacts based upon existing or reasonably foreseeable projects in the surrounding area. This section will also include a discussion of whether the project would have growth inducing impacts, significant environmental impacts or effects. Additionally, the analysis will analyze the mandatory findings of significance which include: degrading, threatening, reducing, or eliminating the quality of the biological environment or California history or prehistory; resulting in cumulatively considerable impacts; or resulting in substantial direct or indirect adverse effects on human beings. Appendices:EI, in coordination with the City,will prepare,review,and compile the appendices for the IS. GIS/Graphics: Preparation of the IS will be supported by EI's in-house geographic information systems(GIS)and graphics team to depict the relevant information for the project.EI will create various GIS graphics and maps for the assessment using AutoCad, Google Earth Files, Facility Inventory Maps,ArcGIS,and PDFs. References: All pertinent materials, studies, or persons consulted in the preparation of the IS shall be listed within a separate section of the IS. The identity of all Federal, State, and local agencies, or other organizations and private individuals consulted in the IS preparation and the identity of all persons, firms, and City staff preparing the IS by contact or other authorization, shall also be listed in the report. EI will further ensure that references to these sources within the text of the appropriate sections are made by footnote or other means acceptable to the City. Following receipt of up to two rounds of comments(one draft and one final)from the City on the IS,EI will incorporate the City's comments and provide the final IS.

I I 2 i SANS SILVERMAN environmental planners SENIOR ASSOCIATE Education University of California,Los Angeles,School of Public Health,Master of Science,Environmental Health,2001 University of California,Santa Barbara,Bachelor of Science,Environmental Studies,1999 Mr. Silverman joined TAHA in 2006 as a Senior Environmental Scientist. His specialties are greenhouse gas analysis and preparing air quality and noise analyses for commercial, residential, and industrial development along with transportation projects. Mr. Silverman's thorough knowledge of air quality analysis methodology includes comprehensive familiarity with the regional and localized estimation methodology set forth by the South Coast Air Quality Management District, application of various computer models (e.g., CalEEMod, EMFAC, AERMOD, Caline-4, and CAL3QHC), health risk assessments (HRAs), and construction and operation emission inventories. His knowledge of noise analysis methodology includes noise monitoring, noise models (e.g., Sound2000), and mobile (Federal Highway Administration RD-77-108 noise calculation formulas)and stationary source analyses. Mr. Silverman's air quality and noise reports follow a general format Mr. Silverman typically assesses regional construction emissions using California Air Resources Board's (CARE) URBEMIS2007 emissions inventory model. Localized construction concentrations are estimated using similar methodology as regional emissions and analyzed using SCAQMD localized significance threshold guidance. Regional operational emissions are calculated using average daily traffic and CARB's CalEEMod or EMFAC models. Localized carbon monoxide concentrations are calculated using EMFAC and either the CAL30HC or CALINE4 dispersion models. Mr. Silverman also analyzes toxic air contaminants, odors, project consistency with air quality management plans, and cumulative emissions. In addition, Mr. Silverman estimates greenhouse gas emissions from mobile and stationary sources. The typical noise analysis includes ambient noise monitoring, quantification of construction noise levels at nearby sensitive receptors, mobile source noise calculations, and quantification of operational noise sources(e.g., recreational activity,mechanical equipment,and parking lots).
