17060 P a g e | 23 Proposal for Storm Drain Pump Station Improvements Projects BRADFORD PUMP STATION Task 8.2 – Regulatory Permitting Task 8.2.1 CWA Section 404 Permit Application The environmental specialist subconsultant will prepare an application for a Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), San Francisco City. This scope of work assumes the Project will qualify for a Nationwide Permit (NWP) under NWP 7, Outfall Structures, NWP 33, Temporary Construction, Access, and Dewatering, and/or, NWP 43, Stormwater Management Facilities. The environmental specialist subconsultant will prepare the following items in support of the USACE permit application: 1. Cover Letter. The cover letter will briefly describe the maintenance project and activities that are subject to permitting. The cover letter will describe the contents of the permit application package. 2. Nationwide Permit Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Form. This is the standard permit application form for USACE NWPs 31, 33, and 43. 3. Supporting Documents (completed under the subtasks described below): Supporting documents that will be attached to the permit application include a biological resources report (Task 8.4.2), an aquatic resources report (Subtask 8.4.3), and a cultural resources report (Task 8.4.4). Deliverables: Draft USACE NWP Application submitted to City for review (electronic) Revised USACE NWP Application submitted to USACE (electronic) Up to two (2) conference calls Task 8.2.2 Biological Resources Report The environmental specialist subconsultant will prepare a biological resources report documenting existing biological resources at the Project area. The report will describe dominant habitats, general plant and animal occurrence, potential for occurrence of special-status plant and animal species, and the distribution and quality of sensitive/regulated habitats. This report will provide a basis to describe the likely resources that could be impacted by the Project or future maintenance. The biological resources report will provide a basis to support CWA Section 404 permit application and the USACE’s Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 7 consultation with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) regarding potential direct and indirect impacts to federally listed species. The biological resources report will also support the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Fish and Game (F&G) Code 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement (under Subtask 8.2.6 below). A draft biological resources report will be submitted to the City for review and comment. Following City review, the environmental specialist subconsultant will revise and finalize the report. Deliverables: Draft and Revised Biological Resources Report (electronic) Task 8.2.3 Jurisdictional (Wetland) Delineation The environmental specialist subconsultant will prepare a preliminary jurisdictional delineation (wetland delineation) for the Project. The wetland delineation will be prepared in accordance with the USACE 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual and the 2008 Arid West Regional Supplement. The environmental specialist subconsultant will review existing information, e.g., topographic maps, previous delineation reports, etc., that may help support the determination of the extent of waters/wetlands. The environmental specialist subconsultant will conduct a site visit to map wetlands and other waters of the U.S./State. The environmental specialist subconsultant will prepare a draft wetland delineation report for review by the City and revise based on comments received. The wetland delineation is intended to support the CWA Section 404 and 401 application packages. ATTY/AGR.2021.257/Wood Rodgers, Inc. (Bradford Storm Drain Pump Station Design) (Page 34 of 40)
