3. SCOPE OF WORK may be required to prepare the EIR. If necessary, ESA will prepare a memorandum that identifies any remaining information requirements. The intent in this task will be to make maximum use of available information, but also to verify and supplement it as necessary to insure the accuracy, objectivity, and completeness of the EIR. As part of this task, and in conjunction with the Alternatives Meeting identified in Task 2, above, ESA will confirm with City staff the final assumptions to be used in the EIR analyses concerning the project description, the range of alternatives to be examined, impact significance criteria, the bases for cumulative impact analyses, and any other analytic assumptions that may require further resolution. On the basis of this consultation, the review of public and agency scoping comments, and the evaluation of available information conducted as part of this task, ESA will identify any appropriate recommendations for revising the scope of work, and will prepare any necessary scope revisions. The project team will prepare the Administrative Draft EIR on the bases of the information, criteria and analyses developed in Task 2. The Administrative Draft EIR will be prepared in accordance with current CEQA Guidelines and case law. Fifteen (15) copies and one (1) original of the ADEIR will b~ submitted to City staff for review. The following discussion presents the proposed outline of the EIR and strategic considerations related to the preparation and presentation of individual sections.

The Introduction will also describe briefly the role of the E!R in the overall planning process, and the procedural steps by which the EIR and the project application will be processed. Summary Thc Summary will describe the project and the alternatives, and will provide a summary table and narrative that outline the project's significant environmental effects, mitigation measures that would reduce or avoid those effects, residual levels of impact significance after mitigation, and principal of public controversy. As suggested by CEQA Ouidelines, the Summary will be limited to approximately 15 pages. Abbott Laboratories West Coast Research Center EIR 3-3
