James O’Connell <br />Red Morton Community Park Regional Stormwater Capture Project, Redwood City, CA – Phase 2B <br />5 September 2, 2022 <br />also describe the sources that were consulted to obtain background information on the project area, <br />and the methods used to determine the likelihood of species occurrence. <br />Biological Impacts and Avoidance and Minimization Measures – an assessment of potential project <br />impacts on biological resources and a response to the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G questions related <br />to biological resources. The report will include a list of avoidance and minimization measures as <br />needed to ensure that the project remains in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local <br />regulatory requirements. <br />The budget includes one round of review of the Biological Resources Evaluation by the project team for <br />project description accuracy and feasibility of avoidance measures. <br />b. Prepare USACE 404, RWQCB 401, and CDFW1602 Applications. Based on our understanding of resource <br />agency jurisdiction and information gained during the Interagency Meeting, the project requires <br />authorization from the USACE, RWQCB and CDFW for construction of the diversion structure within the <br />creek channel. <br />Application packets will include the permit application form, engineering drawings, and the following <br />information: <br />Description of the overall project, including a site plan and other project plans; <br />Surface area in acres of waters of the U.S. and State, adjacent wetlands (if any), and adjacent riparian <br />vegetation that will be temporarily or permanently impacted by the proposed project (if any); <br />Method of vegetation clearing (if any) within the temporary/permanent impact areas; <br />Cross-section and lateral view of the project activity within the creek channel; <br />A description of water diversion methods to be used during construction if water is in the channel; <br />Best Management Practices incorporated into the project to prevent impacts to water quality and <br />biological resources; <br />A Biological Resources Evaluation; <br />Final environmental documentation for CEQA or written explanation as to what stage of <br />environmental compliance the project is in; and <br />Permit application fees for RWQCB and CDFW. The fees depend on the cost of the project, and we <br />can help estimate them. These fees should be provided directly by Redwood City, to ensure they are <br />correctly credited to the project. <br />We will rely on Craftwater and/or Redwood City to provide the following information: <br />Site plan; <br />Construction materials and methods; <br />Source and composition of materials used to construct any features within agency jurisdiction (the <br />channel); <br />Cross-section drawing of any features within agency jurisdiction; <br />A description of methods used to divert water around the project area if needed; <br />A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and/or Best Management Practices to prevent water <br />pollution; and <br />Estimated project costs. <br />We will complete each application, respond to one round of comments from the project team, and provide the <br />application packages to Redwood City to submit to the appropriate resource agencies with the permit application <br />fees. We can assist staff with the upload process if needed. <br />ATTY/AGR.2022/Amend. No. 2/Craftwater Inc (Red Morton Stormwater Capture) (Page 8 of 10)
