TASK 5: ENVIRONMENTAL AND PERMITTING Subtask 5.1 – Permit Technical Memorandum Consultant’s environmental and CEQA subconsultant, MIG, will investigate whether the project could be approved with a Categorical Exemption (CE) under Section 15301(b) Existing Facilities, or Section 15302(c) Replacement or Reconstruction, of the CEQA Guidelines. If it is determined that the project could potentially qualify under either of these categories, Consultant will determine whether the project would trigger any of the exceptions to the use of a CE, as specified in (Section 15300.2) of the Guidelines. If any of the exception criteria would be applicable, then the project would not qualify for a CE. If the project was not found to be eligible to use a CE to provide the necessary CEQA clearance, MIG will review the applicable provisions of the CEQA Guidelines for preparation of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) and verify that one of these two types of documents would be required. Consultant and subconsultant will prepare a technical memorandum for City review that documents their research and findings, based on the project plans provided and their knowledge of the CEQA Guidelines, and presents clear findings of the project’s eligibility for either a CE or an Initial Study/ND/MND and includes their recommendations for selection of the proper document. In addition, the memorandum will include an assessment of any required regulatory agency permits, their application procedures and estimated processing times, and mitigation requirements. It is anticipated that the agencies involved will be California Department of Fish and Wildlife, SF Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The subconsultant, MIG, is prepared to prepare the required CEQA documentation, described above, as well as assist the City with agency permitting, as an additional service once the specific requirements are ATTY/AGR.2023.241/BKF Engineers (Price Tract Pump Station Design) (Page 21 of 54)
