REV: 11-07-23 SK <br />The regulatory setting (laws or local ordinances that might <br />apply to the project’s effects on biological resources); <br />Existing biological conditions (including existing habitats, <br />potential for occurrence of special-status plants and animals, any <br />potentially jurisdictional or sensitive habitats, and any other <br />biological resources that might be of concern); <br />A description of the methods used to perform the biological <br />resources evaluation; <br />An analysis of biological resources impacts as defined by the <br />CEQA checklist; and <br />Mitigation measures as needed to avoid significant impacts to <br />biological resources. <br />The biological resources report will be utilized to complete to the biological <br />resources section of the IS/MND, and to support permit applications from <br />resource agencies with jurisdiction over the project as needed. <br />Cultural Resources. MIG is teaming with Basin Research Associates <br />to prepare a focused Historic Properties Survey Report/Finding of Effect <br />Report (HPSR/FOE) to satisfy both federal and state requirements. The <br />completion of an HPSR/FOE document will allow the project proponent <br />to partially satisfy the regulations of the USACE for implementing <br />Section 106 of the NHPA of 1966 as amended (54 U.S.C. § 306108). <br />Section 106 studies provide the information necessary to satisfy the <br />legal requirements for environmental documents or categorical <br />exclusions under NEPA. Further information on Basin’s scope of work <br />are detailed below (see Task 5. Cultural Resources Due Diligence). <br />Noise. The project might include a roof-mounted emergency <br />generator and is directly adjacent to residential land uses (Township <br />Apartments). MIG anticipates temporary construction activities would <br />occur in accordance with Redwood City code requirements pertaining to <br />noise levels, allowable construction hours, etc. (City Code Chapter 24, <br />Division 3, Noise). MIG’s analysis would focus on how the new <br />stormwater pump station, including roof-mounted generator, would meet <br />applicable standards, which would be confirmed with the City. MIG’s <br />scope of work includes ambient noise monitoring to assist with the <br />identification of appropriate noise standards and potential noise control <br />requirements that may be needed to meet City standards. <br />Task deliverables: administrative Draft IS/EA, Attendance at <br />Interagency Meeting, Biological Resources Report (optional <br />federal Biological Assessment, if required), Focused Historic <br />Properties Survey Report/Finding of Effect Report (HPSR/FOE). <br />Public Draft IS/MND/EA/FONSI: MIG will respond to one round of <br />consolidated comments on the IS/EA and then produce a screen check version <br />ATTY/AGR.2023.241/BKF Engineers (Price Tract Pump Station Design) (Page 36 of 54)
