City of Pleasanton P6621.002.000 Storm Damaged Repair Sites March 7, 2024 PROPOSAL FOR ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES Latest Revision March 25, 2024 Page 6 prepare the applications using the City SMP LSAA permit as a reference, using the current CDFW standard forms and attachments, and providing additional supporting information, such as site plans, maps, and the BRTR, all of which are needed to support application processing. WRA will prepare a draft LSAA for each project for City review and comment before submitting a final package upon the City’s approval. Once CDFW issues a draft agreement, WRA will review the draft agreement and make recommendations to Client to accept the agreement or request modifications. Phase 008 – Mitigation Strategy Using the City SMP mitigation requirements as a foundation, WRA will work with the City to determine suitable mitigation opportunities to off-set project impacts, if needed. This task includes meeting with the City to review mitigation opportunities and two site visits to conduct a preliminary reconnaissance of potential mitigation opportunities within the City limits. Should the storm repair projects be determined to be self-mitigating by resource agencies, then mitigation may not be required. Phase 009 – CEQA exemptions WRA will assist the City in determining if any of the four projects qualify for a CEQA Statutory Exemption, such as Section 15269 (Emergency Projects) of the CEQA Guidelines, or if each project qualifies for a CEQA Categorical Exemption. If the project design and avoidance and minimization measures support the application of a CEQA Categorical Exemption, WRA will prepare a separate CEQA Notice of Exemption (NOE) for the CS Project and for the Bernal Project which describes each project and its CEQA exemption status as well as supporting information for the application of the exemption. It is anticipated each project may qualify for at least one Categorical Exemption, such as CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 – Existing Facilities; 15302 – Replacement or Reconstruction; and 15303 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. Each Categorical Exemption will be supported by the Biological Resources Assessment and Cultural Resources Assessment. Each NOE will also include a memo attachment that explains why each project does not meet any applicable exceptions to Categorical Exemptions per CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2. Upon review and approval by the City, each NOE will be filed with the County Clerk and the State Clearinghouse CEQANet portal. However, if either project is found to trigger an exception to a Categorical Exemption, WRA will prepare a separate proposal for a CEQA Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND). WRA will tier from existing documents to the extent feasible, including the City’s General Plan EIR, project geotechnical and hydraulic analyses, and other available reports prepared for the City such as the Mountain Bike Trail Environmental Impact Report. Phase 010 – FEMA Environmental Planning and Historic Checklist The CEQA documentation and supporting technical studies will also be used to complete two separate FEMA Environmental Planning and Historic (EHP) Checklists for each of the federally-funded projects pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Checklists will address the following for each federally-funded project. • CWA Section 404/RHA Section 10 • Clean Water Act Section 401/402 • EO 11988 Floodplains eight-step Process DocuSign Envelope ID: 9D598DAC-5F24-41FA-B827-97D013A47ECADocuSign Envelope ID: CEB20404-63F8-4DC5-AE6A-C5FC89DB6F87
