Red Morton Park Regional Stormwater Capture Project Redwood City, CA Noise: The IS will describe the existing noise and vibration environment in the project vicinity and applicable City noise regulations, including General Plan policies related to noise. The Consultant will conduct up to two short-term noise measurements to characterize the noise environment at and in the vicinity of Red Morton Park. The Consultant will evaluate construction -related noise and vibration levels at sensitive receptor locations, as well as potential increases in noise levels along local roads that may be used for site ingress/egress and soil hauling (e.g., Roosevelt Avenue). The analysis will identify typical construction equipment sound levels, quantify peak and typical construction activity noise levels, and, if necessary, identify best management practices or mitigation measures consistent with that contained in the City's plans, policies, or regulations (e.g., restricted work hours, truck routing or trip restrictions, sound walls) that will reduce the magnitude of potential construction noise impacts to less than significance. The proposed project may result in long-term operational noise from pumps and/or equipment necessaryto clean and filterthe storm water. The Consultant will evaluate the potential noise levels associated with this equipment. The team anticipates pumps and other operational equipment will not result in significant operational noise levels at sensitive residential or educational receptor locations so long as this equipment is enclosed in a building or other shelter. Recreation: The IS will evaluate the proposed project's temporary disruption to Red Morton Community Park athletic facilities. The analysis will consider where existing athletic practices, games, etc. will be temporarily relocated to and whether this relocation will result in the accelerated deterioration of existing parks or other recreation facilities. Given the temporary nature of the project, Consultant anticipates this impact will be less than significant; however, the temporary disruption to field use and team sporting events is likely to be an issue of interest and concern to the public. Transportation: The Consultant will evaluate the proposed project's potential impacts to traffic and transportation. Since most of the proposed project's traffic impacts will be associated with construction activities and will occur during off peak hours, Consultant anticipates new traffic counts, vehicle miles travelled (VMT) analysis, and a full traffic impact analysis will not be necessary for the project. To evaluate the proposed project's potential traffic and transportation impacts, Consultant will review up to two project alternatives for information regarding the project's construction duration (total days and hours per day), construction truck haul routes, number and type/size of trucks per day for each phase of construction, number of workers per day for phase of construction, construction staging and worker parking areas, and other known construction plan data that may affect traffic or mitigate potential traffic impacts. For each alternative, Consultant will summarize the daily and peak hour vehicle trip generation potential for each construction phase and, based on local knowledge and engineering judgment, estimate whether there are potential traffic impacts on local roadways or nearby intersections. For this task, the Consultant will review and rely on recent average daily traffic (ADT) and selected intersection peak hour counts that are available from the City. Consultant will also evaluate project access points and up to four intersections along construction haul routes for adequate turning radii and other safety issues. Following completion of all environmental analyses, the Consultant will compile the Administrative Draft IS, complete with accompanying draft MND (prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15071) and submit the document to the City for review and comment. To complete the Consultant scope of work within the identified budget and schedule estimates, Consultant has assumed: Task 2 studies will be complete and available for review, reference, and use prior to the start of the preparation of the Administrative Draft IS/MND, including survey work, geotechnical evaluations, a Phase 1 study, hydrogeological studies, utility research, hydraulic modeling, and water quality studies; Consultant will prepare one Administrative Draft IS/MND for review by the City; The Administrative Draft IS/MND will evaluate a single preferred regional stormwater capture project (i.e., multiple alternatives will not be evaluated in the CEQA document) ATTY/AGR.2020.309/Craftwater Inc (Page 22 of 34)
