James O’Connell <br />Red Morton Community Park Regional Stormwater Capture Project, Redwood City, CA – Phase 2A <br />5 June 14, 2021 <br />Tier III or IV emissions standards will be necessary to demonstrate project construction activities would <br />not result in significant adverse health risks to student or residential receptors. <br />•Biological Resources and Jurisdictional Waters: The IS will present a comprehensive biological resource <br />setting discussion, a summary of applicable regulations and permits required, and mitigation measures <br />included in the project to avoid any impacts to biological resources. Should the resource agencies <br />require a biological resources report and/or jurisdictional waters delineation, the biology section will <br />present this information. <br />•Cultural /Tribal Cultural Resources: Our team Archaeologist will evaluate potential impacts to cultural <br />and tribal cultural resources consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5. The project is anticipated <br />to involve excavation at depths of 10 feet or more below ground surface near Arroyo Ojo, and creeks are <br />generally known to be areas with a high potential to contain recorded and/or unrecorded cultural and <br />tribal resources that may be encountered or discovered during development activities. Our team, <br />therefore, will request a search of the California Historical Resource Information System (CHRIS)and the <br />Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File (SLF) to determine if there are known <br />cultural/tribal cultural resources in or near Red Morton Park. In addition, as required by CEQA, local <br />tribes will be contacted as directed by the NAHC as an extension of the SLF search to identify potential <br />tribal cultural resources that may not be known by the NAHC due to their specific importance to an <br />individual tribe. Due to the anticipated depth of excavation, Our team will also conduct a paleontological <br />search with the Museum of Paleontology at UC Berkeley. MIG anticipates that standard measures for <br />the protection of recorded (i.e., known) and unrecorded (i.e., unknown) resources, such as stop work <br />provisions, will be incorporated into the project as Best Management Practices or mitigation measures <br />to render impacts on cultural/tribal cultural resources a less than significant impact. <br />•Noise: The IS will describe the existing noise and vibration environment in the project vicinity and <br />applicable City noise regulations, including General Plan policies related to noise. Our team will conduct <br />up to two short-term noise measurements to characterize the noise environment at and in the vicinity <br />of Red Morton Park. Our team will evaluate construction-related noise and vibration levels at sensitive <br />receptor locations, as well as potential increases in noise levels along local roads that may be used for <br />site ingress/egress and soil hauling (e.g., Roosevelt Avenue). The analysis will identify typical <br />construction equipment sound levels, quantify peak and typical construction activity noise levels, and, if <br />necessary, identify best management practices or mitigation measures consistent with that contained in <br />the City’s plans, policies, or regulations (e.g., restricted work hours, truck routing or trip restrictions, <br />sound walls) that will reduce the magnitude of potential construction noise impacts to less than <br />significance. The proposed project may result in long-term operational noise from pumps and/or <br />equipment necessary to clean and filter the storm water. Our team will evaluate the potential noise <br />levels associated with this equipment. The team anticipates pumps and other operational equipment <br />will not result in significant operational noise levels at sensitive residential or educational receptor <br />locations so long as this equipment is enclosed in a building or other shelter. <br />•Recreation: The IS will evaluate the proposed project’s temporary disruption to Red Morton Community <br />Park athletic facilities. The analysis will consider where existing athletic practices, games, etc. will be <br />temporarily relocated to and whether this relocation will result in the accelerated deterioration of <br />existing parks or other recreation facilities. Given the temporary nature of the project, we anticipate this <br />ATTY/AGR.2021/Amend No. 1/Craftwater Inc (Page 8 of 16)
