Task 7--Incorporate Supplemental Traffic Analysis into En- vironmental Document Caltrans requested that the results of the TJKM Supplemental Analysis be incorporated into the ED. This effort required a series of meetings with various Caltrans Project Develop- ment and Highway Operations Branch staff to reach an agree- ment as to which conclusions to include in the Traffic Report and the ED. The conclusions of the TJKM Traffic Report were developed and incorporated into the documents Task 8--Air Quality.

The format of the traffic section started with one outline, was completely revised to another layout, and then was totally revamped once again to a third, different format. However, the information contained in each version is nearly identical, only the organization and layout was revised.

CH2M HILL was never given a single, marked up copy of the document clearly stating pro- posed revisions. CH2M HILL staff members were required to attend several meetings with Caltrans and City representa- tives to repeatedly review text sections, develop revisions, and at times rewrite the text to their satisfaction on the spot. These meeting resulted in revised Purpose and Need Section; revised Area of Potential Effect Figures which were
