FIRSTCARBON Proposal SOLUTIONS FCS INTERNATIONAL,INC. HIDDEN CANYON RESIDENCES AND PRESERVE EIR Project and CEQA Re-initiation Task 1: Review updated plans, and revise and complete administrative draft EIR FCS will review the updated plans submitted in March 2023, and will make revisions to reflect the updated project. FCS will also make revisions to ensure that the Administrative Draft EIR reflects current CECIA guidance, regulatory databases, and modeling practices. Specifically,the following work will be required to update the Administrative Draft EIR: The Project Description and associated graphics will be revised to reflect the updated site plan. All other sections of the Administrative Draft EIR will be reviewed and appropriate edits made. • Air Quality/GHG—Air quality emissions will be remodeled to utilize the latest version of CalEEM0d and account for new BAAQMD thresholds and 2022 Scoping Plan updates.The results of the re- modeling will be incorporated into the Air Quality/GHG analysis in the EIR. • Biology—FCS will review the applicant-provided BRA for adequacy and will confirm whether the methodologies used as well as the analysis and recommendations/conclusions are adequate for use in the preparation of the EIR. FCS will identify any scope refinements or additional technical analysis is required. • Cultural—FCS understands a Historic Resource Evaluation was prepared for the property by Ward Hill, and Phase I Archaeological Resources Assessment was prepared by the Basin Research Associates. FCS assumes these studies will remain sufficient and adequate, and that only updates to the CHRIS and NAHC records searches will be required. FCS will also request that the UC Berkeley Museum of Paleontology (UCMP) conduct a records search for the property, the results of which will be included in the Geology section of the EIR. • Geology and Soils—Ninyo & Moore, previously subcontracted on this project, will review readily available published regional maps and reports regarding geology and geologic hazards which may impact the project site; review the geotechnical and geologic aspects of the referenced background documents pertaining to the proposed development that have been provided for review as well as the previous Ninyo & Moore review in 2019; and prepare a letter to summarize the geotechnical peer review. • Hazards—FCS will perform an updated radius search to determine the presence of previously unidentified underground storage tanks or hazardous materials sites. Hydrology—Balance Hydrologics engineers will review the project proponent's hydrology/stormwater management report and supporting calculations and modeling for consistency with pertinent regulatory requirements including those from the City, Alameda Clean Water Program,Alameda County Zone 7 Flood Control, and the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board and will evaluate the proposed stormwater control plan to ensure NORTH AMERICA I EUROPE I AFRICA I AUSTRALIA I ASIA II FIRSTCARBONSOLUTIONS.COM
