~ ~ SCOPE OF WORK, cont. ~ Hazards and Hazardous Materials The EIR will describe the hazardous materials currently handled at Sequoia Hospital and any changes ~ in hazardous material use or generation proposed by the project, based upon information provided to DJP&A by the applicant. The EIR will describe the current health and safety policies and procedures employed by the hospital to reduce impacts and the potential for the project to result in hazardous ~ materials impacts, as a result of increases in use of hazardous materials and/or the generation of hazardous waste. The EIR will also address the potential for project construction to result in hazardous materials impacts from existing sources of contamination, based upon a Phase I ~ Environmental Site Assessment completed under separate contract with the applicant and provided to DJP&A. Mitigation measures will be identified for any significant hazardous materials impacts. ~ Public Services The EIR will describe the existing public services serving the project site, including police and fire ~ protection, schools, and recreational facilities, and any increases in demand for public services resulting from the project. ~ Utilities and Services The EIR will describe the anticipated demand for utilities and services, including water, sanitary ~ sewer, storm sewer, and garbage, based upon information provided by the applicant's engineer and/or available from the City staff. Mitigation measures will be identified, as necessary, for significant impacts. ~ Hydrology and Water Quality ~ The project site is not located in a flood zone or adjacent to a stream channel. The EIR will describe the existing drainage on the site and the proposed drainage of the project, based upon information provided by the applicant's civil engineer. The EIR will describe the measures included in the project ~ to reduce impacts to stormwater quality, in conformance with the NPDES permit requirements. This discussion will be based upon information provided by the project civil engineer, prepared under separate agreement and provided to DJP&A. Mitigation measures for drainage and stormwater ~ quality impacts will be identified, as necessary, for significant impacts. Noise ~ The EIR will evaluate the noise impacts to and from the project, based upon a Noise Impact Study to be prepared by Illingworth & Rodkin. To accurately describe variations in the noise environment and ~ at adjacent receptors, existing on-site noise levels will be monitored over a 24-hour period to quantify ambient noise levels, and short-term noise measurements will be made at additional locations on and around the site. The study will calculate the incremental increase in roadway traffic noise that would ~ result from project-generated traffic and from cumulative traffic. The noise study will also evaluate any increases in noise levels from increased ambulance trips to the project. The study will describe the noise generated by the existing loading dock and the effect proposed changes to the loading dock ~ will have on operational noise levels. The study will identify and assess noise generated by the Sequoia Hospital Campus Project/Precise Plan EIR Scope of Services ~ David J. Powers & Associates, Inc. Page 8
