James O’Connell <br />Red Morton Community Park Regional Stormwater Capture Project, Redwood City, CA – Phase 2B <br />4 September 2, 2022 <br />will be stamped by a registered civil engineer in the State of California. Project specifications and cost estimates <br />will be stamped with the original signature and stamped by a registered civil engineer. <br />One (1) set of hard copies on bond paper will be provided to the City. In addition, the project team will provide <br />the City with the following: electronic AutoCAD files on CD; CD with specification Microsoft (MS) Word files and <br />PDFs; and a construction cost estimate in MS Excel format. Final deliverables can be modified at the discretion of <br />the City. <br />Task 8. Permitting Support <br />Task 8.2 Pre-filing Meeting with RWQCB <br />The RWQCB currently requires a pre-filing meeting request 30 days before submitting any application. We will <br />coordinate the setup of the meeting date with the Redwood City Project Manager as well as prepare required <br />materials and attend the meeting. <br />Task 8.3 Prepare Technical Reports and Permit Applications <br />It is anticipated that the Red Morton Park Stormwater Capture project will require a Nationwide Permit from the <br />U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, a Water Quality Certification <br />from the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act and the state <br />Porter Cologne Act, and a Streambed Alteration Agreement from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife <br />(CDFW) under Fish and Game Code Section 1602. We will prepare the technical reports and permit applications <br />for Redwood City to submit to the agencies. Redwood City will be the applicant and will also be responsible for <br />submitting the permit fees. This task includes the following subtasks: <br />a. Biological Resources Evaluation. The biological resources evaluation is a general assessment of the <br />biological resources onsite, including special-status habitat and species. It responds to the California <br />Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) checklist questions for biological resources, and provides measures to <br />reduce any potentially significant project impacts. We will use information already developed for the <br />Initial Study to prepare a stand-alone Biological Resources Evaluation document to append to the permit <br />applications. <br />The Biological Resources Evaluation will include the following information: <br />Project Description – an explanation of the project based on information provided by Craftwater and <br />Redwood City, a map of the location, and the project plans. <br />Regulatory Setting – a list of the federal, state and local biology-related regulations that pertain to the <br />project. <br />Environmental Setting – a detailed description of the project site including its location, topography, <br />soils, surrounding lands, and the plant and wildlife habitats that are present. This section will describe <br />both the common and special-status plants and wildlife that are present or have the potential to occur <br />on the site based on habitat type and quality. It will include detail regarding each of the special-status <br />plants and wildlife having a moderate to high potential to occur on the project or in its general vicinity. <br />It will include the results of queries of various databases maintained by the resource agencies and <br />others. <br />Methods – the methods section will include a description of the date and time of the field survey, field <br />survey techniques that were used, the weather during the survey, and any site conditions that may <br />have constrained the biologist’s ability to conduct a complete assessment. The methods section will <br />ATTY/AGR.2022/Amend. No. 2/Craftwater Inc (Red Morton Stormwater Capture) (Page 7 of 10)
