SCOPE OF WORK DJP&A will prepare an IS that addresses the environmental issues required by the state CEQA Guidelines and the City of Redwood Ciry's requirements. The IS will include a project description, a description of the existing environmental conditions, a discussion of environmental impacts associated with the proposed development (based on CEQA thresholds of significance and the CEQA Checklist), and identification of proposed and possible mitigation measures. Up to five copies of the Administrative Draft IS will be provided to the City for review and comment. DJP&A will revise the Administrative DraR IS based on comments received from Ciry staff. After revision, an electronic screen check version of the document will be sent to the Ciry for final approval. Once final approval is received, the document will constitute the IS and a maximum of 35 bound hard copies and one electronic copy (PDF) will be reproduced and delivered to the City of Redwood City for circulation to public agencies and the public, and posting on the Ciry's website. After the public review period, we will respond to comments received on the IS, if necessary. The IS will evaluate the environmental impacts of the proposed industrial project, focusing on the following issues: Transporlation Preliminary trip generation counts have determined that the existing industrial operations on the project site generate more traffic trips than the Airgas operations. As such, a full transportation impact analysis is not required. The IS will address on-site transportation issues based on a limited traffic analysis prepared by Hexagon Transportation Consultants. The analysis will focus on site access, circulation, and parking. Mitigation measures will be developed as required to teduce identified impacts. Hazardous Materials The proposed project site is located within close proximity to a residential neighborhood. Given the nature of Airgas' operations, an analysis of potential gas releases from the site will be prepared by Belinda Blackre, P.E., R.E.A. A preliminary release scenario of the most significant gas identified at the facility will be analyzed to determine any potential impact to the nearby residences. The analysis will be based on inventory data provided by the applicant. If significant impacts aze identified, based on the technical analysis, mitigation measures will be identified. Hydrology and Water Qualiry The IS will describe the existing storm drainage conditions in the project area and will address the changes in storm drainage conditions from implementation of the project, based upon information provided by the applicant. The infortnation will include existing and fumre (with project) azeas of pervious and impervious surfaces and a list of proposed stormwater control measures. Construction related impacts will also be addressed. Mitigation measures will be identified to minimize significant hydrological and water quality impacts, as appropriate.
