6.1.B. - Page 16 vicinity. The IS will summarize any responses related to this effort. We assume thaf na issues will arise. � Conduct archi�al researcl� on his#ory of site. � Standard mitigation measures for archaeologicaf or paleontolog�cal resources will be icleniified. GeolagylSoils The following scop� of wark assumes that the City will pravide a Geotechnical fnvestigation submitted to City by the Applicant. Consultant will conduct the following tasks: • Peer review and e�aluate the Geotechnical Investigation submitted to the City by the Applicant by Cor�sultant's professional engineer. • Report the type and magnitude of seismic acti�ity typical ir� the Sar� Francisco Bay Area, the standards to be rr�et by propose� str�ctures to resist damage during seismic e��nts, and design features to be incorporated in the proposed project to comply with thosa standards. • Evaluate the g�ohazard risks from devefapment at the project s�te, using available geologic andlor snils maps, published literature, and ather i�formativn, reports, and/o� plans. The main issue that will be analyzed is the seismic and geotechnicai safety of the proposed b�ildings. � Assess potential project geohazard impacts in light of existing �egulations and paiicies tl�a# woufd serve to minimize poter�tial impacts. Pertinent regulatary requiremen#s will be explicitly identified so that the nexus between regulations and minimized impacts is apparent. in ger�eral, construction of development similar to the proposed project has little or no efFect on the geology of an area, but is stiil subject to seismic grounds�aking and locaf soil conditions, including gro�and ascflla#ion anc! long-term and differential sektlement. Standard design and construction tecF�niques ar�d compliance with City standards (including applicable po�tions of the California Building Code and the National Pol�utanf Discharge Eiimination System [NPDES]) typically eliminate or minimize saismic and geotechnical hazards. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Consultant wil! apply BAAQMD threshofds #o determine the contribution of Greenhouse Gas {GHG} emissians firom the praposed project and will suggest reduction measures necessary to either meet regulatory requirements or reduce emissions to the greatest exter�t possible. GHG emiss�ons of construction and operatior� of the project will be determined based on BAAQMD me#hodalogy and guidance. Consul#ant will conduct the fvllowir�g tasics: • Describe clim�te c#�ange concepts, the science that supports #hese concepts, and each GHG as wel! as the project's confribution to the farmation of these gases. ■ Descri#�e �he current regulatory setting. � Obtai� a�l relevant projecf ancf site bac�Cground information including base graphics showing site vicinity, proposed praject, and adjacent land uses; and traffic generation within the project-specific traffic study.
