(e) Understanding of Project

Our firm has a broad range of experience providing environmental consulting services in support of local water agency projects throughout California. Our experience extends to technical studies, CEQA/NEPA documents, biological and cultural resources studies, agency consultations, and preparing permit applications. Our general approach to the services outlined in the RFP is outlined below. A detailed scope of work will be provided for each individual project assigned under this contract.

General Environmental The preparation of CEQA and NEPA documentation commonly involves review of documents, attending meetings with the lead agency and project applicant, interaction with regulatory agencies, preparation of reports, and attendance at public meetings and hearings. For the CEQA process, this task normally starts with a review of the CEQA Guidelines to assess whether or not a project is exempt from more detailed environmental review. Exemptions are relatively well defined in the Guidelines and include the categories of projects that would not likely result in significant environmental effects. If not exempt, we would complete an Initial Study Checklist to determine the appropriate environmental clearance document under CEQA. For projects where all impacts can clearly be mitigated and where there is not a strong base of public controversy, an ND or MND is prepared. For projects that may result in a significant impact, an EIR is typically the appropriate CEQA document. When an EIR is required, we utilize the IS and scoping process to focus the document on impacts that have the potential to result in significant impacts. For NEPA, appropriate federal agency consultation will be required. Documentation may involve Categorical Exclusions (CEs), EAs, or EISs. In some cases where both CEQA and NEPA apply to a project, and a joint CEQA/NEPA document may be appropriate. In other cases, federal lead agencies prefer to process final review documentation after completion of the CEQA environmental review is finalized.

The scope of work for any environmental document or specialized technical study would depend upon the nature of the project being analyzed and will vary from project to project. We have assumed that most documentation will involve CEQA review, a lesser number will involve NEPA review, and that a range of specialized studies will also be requested.

Alternatives For EIRs, EAs, and EISs, a reasonable range of alternatives will be identified during the course of the study in consultation with City staff. For EIRs, evaluation of alternatives will normally be in less detail than that for the proposed project, though the analysis will provide decision-makers and the public adequate information to decide between alternatives. This section will also identify the "environmentally superior alternative." If the “no project - no building” alternative is determined to be environmentally superior, the EIR will identify the environmentally superior alternative among the remaining scenarios. As noted above, NEPA requires analysis of each project alternative in an equal level of detail so all project alternatives will be analyzed in a single “Environmental Consequences” chapter.

Public Hearings/Meetings From our experience working on many development and public works projects and long range planning programs, we understand the need to effectively engage the public in the planning and environmental analysis process. Communication with the stakeholders will be important in ensuring the success of most large-scale EIRs and EISs. Rincon will prepare materials for, attend and participate, as needed, in all

Page 16 Coachella Valley Water District On-Call Environmental Consultant Services

major public meetings, including public workshops, open houses, and public hearings leading up to certification of the EIRs.

Biological Rincon provides a full range of biological technical services, from simple biological inventories to complex detailed investigations requiring specialized protocol biological studies throughout California. Our comprehensive understanding of, and objective approach to, both the ecological and regulatory facets of biological resource issues ensures high value professional outcomes for our clients. Each project begins with an assessment of the general biological conditions at a site by the Biological Team using readily available literature sources such as online aerial photography, sensitive resource occurrences from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB), Biogeographic Information and Observation System (BIOS – www.bios.dfg.ca.gov), and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Critical Habitat Portal (http://criticalhabitat.fws.gov). Once the basic biological conditions of the site and its vicinity are known, then the appropriate type and intensity level of biological field surveys are determined. We then initiate our activities with a Project Kickoff Meeting to ensure that the Biological Team and the client are equally informed about the nature of the activities proposed and the biological issues of concern. As our Field Studies frequently involve listed species, Rincon staff hold Section 10(a)(1) permits for multiple species and also regularly employ subconsultants with appropriate permits for field studies, as further discussed below.

Field Surveys . Baseline Biological Surveys . Habitat Assessments for Special-Status Species Presence . Botanical Inventories and Focused Special-Status Plant Surveys . Focused and/or Protocol Surveys for Burrowing Owl, Least Bell’s Vireo, Southwestern Willow Flycatcher, Raptors (eagles, hawks, owls), Western Snowy Plover, Coastal California Gnatcatcher, Belding’s Savannah Sparrow, California Least Tern, Steelhead Trout, Tidewater Goby, Arroyo Toad, California Red-Legged Frog, California Tiger Salamander, Western Spadefoot Toad, Western Pond Turtle, Desert Tortoise, Blunt-nosed Leopard Lizard, Flat-tailed and Coast Horned Lizards, Legless Lizard, Two-Striped Garter Snake, Giant Garter Snake, Special-Status Bats (Acoustical Surveys), Mojave Ground Squirrel, various Kangaroo Rats, Pocket Mice, Voles, Woodrats and other Small Mammals, San Joaquin Kit Fox, Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp, Endemic Coastal Dune Invertebrates, Monarch Butterfly, Valley Elderberry Beetle, and Blue Butterflies.

The Field Survey may be an end in itself as biological constraints may be exposed that warrant alternative locations, or the biological inventory may indicate a lack of resources and no further biological assessment is necessary. Such surveys may also be necessary for compliance with permit conditions or agency requirements. In most instances, the biological Field Studies form the basis for preparation of the Biological Assessment (BA) that places the planned activities into the context of these resources and the regulatory framework that controls actions that may affect identified resources of concern. Rincon works closely with public, private, and utility clients to provide quality and cost effective biological resource assessments. BA’s include the results of the field surveys and would typically also contain the following information:

. Dominant plants/vegetation classification description and mapping; . Wildlife observed and anticipated onsite; . Photo-documentation of the existing site conditions;

Page 17 Coachella Valley Water District On-Call Environmental Consultant Services

. Description of site conditions, including habitat types and surrounding development; . Biological resources that meet the definition of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas; . Discussion of physical site characteristics (e.g. topography, soil, wildlife corridors, microclimate); . Mapped locations of identified special-status species; . Identification of all special-status species observed or expected onsite; . Assessment of the potential impacts of the planned activities to habitats and species; . Identification of environmentally preferred alternatives to project design; and . Identification of mitigation measures to minimize and mitigate impacts to biological resources that cannot be avoided.

Biological Resource Assessment Services . Biological Due Diligence Surveys to Identify Project Constraints . Preparation of Biological Resource Assessment reports to support permit applications . Preparation of federal Biological Assessment / Biological Evaluation . Multiple Projects Site Assessment to Identify the Environmentally Preferred Location . Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Mapping

Rincon’s role would be to support CVWD and provide a comprehensive guide to understanding the biological resource issues associated with projects and laying out the alternatives available for project implementation. Once one of the types of Biological Assessments as listed above are prepared, the next step would be to develop one of those actions or alternatives that would meet the objectives of the planned activities, while meeting agency regulations and the CEQA/NEPA responsibilities of minimizing the effect to important biological resources. Rincon has prepared and implemented project specific mitigation and monitoring programs where special-status biological resources (e.g. listed or sensitive species, nesting birds, jurisdictional drainages and wetlands) are present or anticipated.

At the project specific level, we regularly conduct construction and mitigation monitoring where our primary job is to ensure that the construction activities are completed in compliance with permit conditions and to help minimize unnecessary costs and project delays that can be associated with shutdowns resulting from permit noncompliance. Rincon’s trained biologists and construction monitors do this by clearly communicating permit conditions to staff and crew, conducting environmental education programs, proactively coordinating with the resource agencies on conflicting permit conditions, identifying and implementing the appropriate level of monitoring, and documenting the status of mitigation progress. Rincon also has direct “hands-on” experience in the actual construction of mitigation projects, including the design and planning for habitat restoration, in-field design directing contractors, and installation of plant materials and irrigation equipment.

. Independent Third Party Monitoring . Large scale, long term Programmatic Compliance Monitoring . Data Management and Documentation: GIS Mapping, Web page, Database and Written Documentation

As noted above, Rincon has been involved for more than 16 years in water resources and utility-scale compliance with the Clean Water Act, the Porter-Cologne Act, and Fish and Wildlife Code 1600 et. seq. For all of our clients, Rincon routinely conducts delineations of wetlands and other waters of the United States in accordance with the USACE Regional Supplement to the Corps Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region (September 2008), Wetlands Delineation Manual (1987), and USACE’s A Field Guide to the Identification of the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) in the Arid West Region of the Western United States (August 2008). Importantly, Rincon wetland specialists are trained in all three parameters of the delineation protocol: vegetation, soils, and hydrology. This ensures that wetlands are mapped according to USACE’s true jurisdictional limits, not according to vegetative indicators only or in a manner that is strongly biased towards vegetation as is often the case. Further, Rincon wetlands specialists are familiar with the Clean Water Act regulatory framework under which they perform these delineations. Rincon’s wetland specialists are also trained in California Rapid Assessment Method (CRAM) for wetlands surveys. CRAM is a rapid assessment protocol that provides an assessment of wetland condition based on four key attributes, and has been increasingly required by the regulatory agencies for

Jurisdictional Area Determinations and Regulatory Permit Assistance . Jurisdictional Determinations . Waters of the United States and 3-Parameter Wetland Delineations . Arid Lands Waters/Wetlands Delineations . Fish and Wildlife Riparian Habitat Determinations . State Waters Determinations, including Isolated Waters . California Rapid Assessment Method (CRAM) Surveys . Regulatory Permits Acquisition

Rincon has extensive experience survey for, monitoring, and permitting projects that have the potential to impacted rare, threatened, or endangered plant and wildlife species that are protected under federal, state, or local laws and regulations, including those listed under the federal and state Endangered Species Acts (ESA). Our in-house experts have the skills and capabilities to detect, identify, and evaluate the potential for determining the presence or abundance of special-status species in an area, which requires an in-depth understanding of their habitat preferences, activity cycle, and life history. ESA- listed rare, threatened, or endangered species typically require specialized protocol surveys that often involve multiple site visits. Biologists conducting protocol surveys are required to have specific experience with these species and must be approved by the resource agencies. Activities that may cause “take”, or adversely affect a listed species, require a permit by USFWS and/or the CDFW. The details of any “take” authorization are subject to negotiation between the resource agencies and the project sponsor. Rincon biologists have extensive experience conducting habitat assessments, surveying, and handling special-status species. We have also developed a network of on-call species specialists to provide any necessary support for projects throughout California. Our ability to work closely with the resource agency staff has been key to our timely completion of special-status species review. As is demonstrated in our individual staff qualifications, many Rincon Staff Biologists possess the permits, certifications, or have other demonstrated expertise to execute the tasks identified above. Our team includes experts in wildlife biology, fisheries, botany, wetland science, restoration ecology, cultural

Page 19 Coachella Valley Water District On-Call Environmental Consultant Services

resources, and regulatory compliance. We are approved by the USFWS to perform protocol-level surveys for numerous federally listed species that may require “take” permits due to a project-specific need to handle and/or relocate these species, including the California red-legged frog; and are broadly experienced at conducting protocol-level surveys for listed species that do not require take permits, including the least Bell’s vireo.

Cultural Rincon staff includes archaeologists who meet or exceed the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for prehistoric archaeology, historic archaeology, and history supported by qualified paleontologists, archaeological and paleontological technicians, GIS staff, technical editors, and document production specialists. When analyzing projects for the City our specialists will consider the full spectrum of cultural resources, including archaeological, built environment, and traditional cultural properties. Rincon will provide assistance to CVWD to ensure compliance with CEQA, NEPA, Sections 106 and 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), and other federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Services may include:

. Cultural Resource Surveys . CRHR and NRHP Eligibility Evaluations . Archaeological Site Testing . Historic Built Environment Resource Evaluation . Archeological Data Recovery Programs . Phase I, II, and III Paleontological Resources Analysis . Construction Monitoring . Native American Consultation (consistent with AB 52 and SB 18)

Field Surveys Each cultural resource survey begins with an assessment of the general conditions at a project site by conducting a records search at the regional CHRIS information center. If it is determined that a project site has been surveyed in the last five years, the records search may be sufficient. If not, Rincon archaeologists conduct an intensive pedestrian survey of the project area. Any newly identified cultural resources are recorded on DPR Series 523 forms and submitted to the client and regional CHRIS information center. Results of field surveys are written up in a technical report following Archaeological Resource Management Reports (ARMR): Recommended Contents and Format (ARMR Guidelines) developed by the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP).

Native American Consultation Rincon has considerable experience providing Native American consultation services in compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 18, Assembly Bill (AB) 52, and the NAGPRA. We regularly consult with the Native American community to assess Tribal sensitivities regarding projects and consider their valuable input when planning cultural resource studies. We have worked with California Indian Tribes throughout the state to ensure Tribal input is considered and projects designed to meet both regulatory requirements and Tribal concerns.

Archaeological Evaluations Rincon cultural resources specialists conduct resource evaluation for NRHP/CRHR and local historic register eligibility through archival research, thorough recordation, and archaeological testing, when necessary. Rincon archaeologists conduct Phase II archaeological testing using fieldwork methods including mapping and photodocumentation, surface collection, excavation of shovel test pits, hand-

Page 20 Coachella Valley Water District On-Call Environmental Consultant Services

powered auger pits, and standard test units. The archaeologists prepare soil profiles and collect samples for further analysis. Our cultural resources laboratory is equipped to manage all sizes and types of collections and to prepare collections for permanent curation in federally qualified facilities. Rincon’s staff includes technical specialists in lithic and faunal analysis, historic artifact analysis, shell speciation and analysis, and collections management. We offer a large pool of highly qualified specialty subcontractors with the full range of capabilities including chemical dating, remote sensing, ethnographic studies, rock art interpretation and documentation, ground stone analysis, and other similar services.

Site Mitigation Services Rincon’s expertise extends to the design and implementation of mitigation plans for CEQA and NHPA compliance. While resource avoidance and preservation are the preferred method of resource protection, when impacts are unavoidable, mitigation through monitoring or data recovery may be required. Rincon’s qualified staff has considerable experience with formulating and implementing mitigation plans. We have prepared Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Programs (MMRPs) for projects throughout California and are regularly called upon to provide qualified archaeological paleontological monitoring staff to support land development projects throughout the state.

Data Recovery Our personnel also offer considerable experience with designing and implementing data recovery programs for compliance with CEQA and sections 106 and 110 of the NHPA. Rincon recently completed a large data recovery effort on a 5-acre parcel in San Diego County to support new residential development along the San Diego River. The mitigation effort recovered multiple human cremations, which has required considerable close coordination with the Kumeyaay Indians to repatriate the remains. Laboratory studies are ongoing.

Monitoring We regularly conduct construction and mitigation monitoring where our primary job is to aid the client to stay in compliance with cultural and paleontological resource regulations. Rincon’s trained archaeologists do this by clearly communicating regulations to staff and crew, conducting environmental education programs, identifying and implementing the appropriate level of monitoring, and documenting the status of mitigation progress. Rincon’s specialists are also experienced in preparing, presenting, and implementing Worker’s Environmental Awareness Programs (WEAPs) for all sizes and types of projects to ensure non-professionals are aware of the importance of preserving our valuable cultural resources.

Collections Management Rincon’s inventory of resources and equipment includes a fully equipped archaeological laboratory to clean, process, analyze, catalog, and house collections of artifacts and the data compendia that accompany them prior to their transfer to a qualified curation facility. Collections are tracked from their recovery in the field until their curation. Rincon holds valid curation agreements with multiple qualified curation facilities located within Metropolitan’s service area.

Regulatory Guidance Rincon’s staff includes archaeologists, historians, and architectural historians with the regulatory experience to assist our clients in complying with the legal requirements of cultural resource studies. We have provided services throughout California that meet federal, state, and local agency requirements, including CEQA, CEQA Plus, the California Public Resources Code (PRC), NEPA, NHPA, NAGPRA, SB 18, AB 52, and the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA).

Page 21 Coachella Valley Water District On-Call Environmental Consultant Services

Government Consultation Rincon’s staff has consulted and coordinated with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and other local, state, and federal agencies on projects ranging from small surveys to large mitigation undertakings. Our staff experience in the federal realm, combined with our history of providing services to state and local agencies, ensures our familiarity with the special requirements of participating agencies for cultural resource projects. Rincon maintains standing FLPMA and ARPA permits with federal and state agencies in the Southwest.

Paleontological Resources When starting a construction project, especially one that involves excavation, what lies below the surface of the ground may simply be just dirt or there may be hidden clues to the past in the form of fossils. Many local (General Plans), State (CEQA) and Federal (Federally-owned or managed land) agencies have requirements for the preservation of paleontological resources (fossils). Completing a Phase I Paleontological Resources Analysis (Phase I PRA) is an important part of any project, especially ones involving excavation activities and within areas of mapped fossil potential. Many California counties (e.g., Riverside County and San Diego County) have included a list of fossil potential within their general plan or initial study guidelines and thus require Phase I PRAs prior to construction activities within areas of known high or unknown fossil potential. Fossil-bearing rock units and the fossils themselves are often hidden so it is important that geologic maps be examined, existing formations be determined, and fossil potential be assessed.

Phase I PRA’s consists of four elements:

. Map analysis, . Assessment of fossil potential, . Institutional records search, and . Peer-reviewed literature review

Phase I PRAs includes identification of geological formations present within the construction footprint (surficial and below ground) in order to assess fossil potential. Institutional (University of California Museum of Paleontology, Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History, San Diego Museum of Natural History) and literature (peer-reviewed) searches are completed to determine already existing paleontological resources within the project site area or within existing formations in surrounding areas. If necessary, reconnaissance surveys can be completed and included in the Phase 1 PRA. Reconnaissance surveys include ground verification of exposed rock units, hand excavation to examine rocks with potential to contain fossils and mapping of expected sensitive areas. Monitoring, mitigation and curation recommendations are provided.

If monitoring and mitigation become necessary following a Phase I PRA indicating areas of high fossil potential, a monitoring and mitigation plan (Phase III PRA) can be prepared. A Phase III PRA can be implemented prior to the start of construction or during construction if fossils are discovered. The process involves monitoring during excavation, logging of stratigraphic information, location of any fossils discovered, and collection of fossils. A monitoring schedule can be established prior to construction and mitigation can be performed if fossils are discovered during construction activities. Typical mitigation includes the collection and preparation of fossils for curation in-house or by an appropriate institution for long-term curation and storage.

Page 22 Coachella Valley Water District On-Call Environmental Consultant Services

Clean Water Act Permit We routinely conduct delineations of wetlands and other waters of the United States in accordance with the current USACE protocol. Importantly, Rincon wetlands specialists are trained in all three parameters of the delineation protocol: vegetation, soils, and hydrology. This ensures that wetlands are mapped according to USACE’s true jurisdictional limits, not according to vegetative indicators only or in a manner that is strongly biased towards vegetation, as is often the case. Further, Rincon wetlands specialists are familiar with the Clean Water Act regulatory framework under which they perform these delineations. We know which NWPs apply to particular types of projects, the impact thresholds which those NWPs cannot exceed, the terms and conditions of the NWPs (including ancillary authorizations needed for authorization), and the conditions under which an Individual Permit or Letter of Permission may be required and/or most advantageous. We are also available to prepare Water Quality Certification applications for submittal to the RWQCB and Streambed Alteration Agreement notifications for submittal to the CDFW on behalf of CVWD.

Air Quality Analysis Air quality analyses will be prepared using the methodologies described in the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) CEQA and Federal Conformity Guidelines. Both temporary construction impacts and long-term operational impacts will typically be addressed.

The evaluation of temporary construction impacts will employ standard methodologies and include an assessment of fugitive dust impacts as well as emissions associated with heavy construction equipment. Maximum daily construction emissions and potential long-term emissions will be quantified using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod). Overall emissions will be compared to SCAQMD and/or or County of Riverside thresholds to determine their significance. The analysis of long-term impacts will also address the possible creation of carbon monoxide (CO) “hot spots”, consistency with air quality management plans, and odors. For certain projects preparation of a health risk assessment (HRA) may also be warranted to determine whether site inhabitants or adjacent sensitive receptors may be exposed to excess cancer risk or other long-term health effects.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) analyses for projects will typically include:

. Overview of the types of GHGs and sources and potential environmental effects of GHGs and global climate change (GCC) . Overview of the current regulatory framework around GHGs/GCC, including Assembly Bill (AB) 32, Senate Bill 97 (SB) 97, and SB 375, as well as 2010 amendments to the CEQA Guidelines . Quantification of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) units associated with construction and operation (emissions will be estimated for construction activities, motor vehicle trips, natural gas combustion, electricity use, water demand, and solid waste generation) using CalEEMod . Comparison of emissions to applicable thresholds . Discussion of the project’s consistency with applicable plans and policies

Noise Studies The typical methodology used in noise assessment work initiates with the collection of existing data in the form of previously prepared studies and the local jurisdiction’s Noise Element. When appropriate, noise measurements are taken along roadways and within the project site to provide a sample of the current sound level environment. Measurements are taken with an integrating sound level meter and Rincon has the capability of conducting 24-hour measurements. If traffic noise is a concern, the actual

Page 23 Coachella Valley Water District On-Call Environmental Consultant Services

measurements are compared to the noise levels predicted by the noise model and the model adjusted accordingly, if necessary, to reflect local acoustical conditions.

Rincon uses several different noise prediction models, depending on the nature of the analysis and complexity of the project and the noise environment. Traffic noise models that we use include the Federal Highway Administration Traffic Noise Model (TNM ver 2.5), Caltrans LEQv2 and SOUND32 noise models, or an in-house spreadsheet model that uses the mathematical algorithms from the TNM or Caltrans California Vehicle Noise Emission Levels (CALVENO). Barrier attenuation of existing or proposed sound walls are estimated using Fresnel numbers to account for diffraction around the sound barrier, or by using the TNM or SOUND32 models. For most projects, we would use our in-house model because of its speed and ease of use as compared to the much more complex TNM. We also have an in-house spreadsheet model for the quantification of noise from railroad operations.

Community Impact/Socio-Economic Assessments Environmental Justice and Community Impact Assessment capabilities include evaluation of minority, low-income, and sensitive populations; project effects to residential housing, commercial developments, agricultural lands, and community facilities; disruption or division of existing communities; economic impacts in terms of local and regional jobs; tax effects to school districts and city and county jurisdictions; and assessment of impacts to environmental justice communities of concern, including evaluation of disproportionate effects to minority and low-income communities.

Farm Land Impacts Analysis Farm Land Impacts Analysis capabilities include the review of existing agricultural land conditions (i.e., soil productivity, historical agricultural uses, and agricultural resources); the evaluation of Important Farmland and Williamson Act maps, and Natural Resources Conservation Service soil survey maps for the study area; the preparation of tables summarizing soil agricultural characteristics and Important Farmland designations; and a summary of the temporary and permanent impacts to farmland from the project.

maintenance and protection of traffic. Work products include concept plans, improvement plans, traffic safety recommendations, and evaluations of traffic control devices and other traffic related intersection and roadway design features.

Modeling & Simulations Urban Crossroads, Inc. has always maintained in-house traffic modeling expertise. They actively develop, maintain and run a variety of locally recognized traffic forecasting models using tools such as TransCAD™, and CUBE. Their core staff has been together over fifteen years and has performed major modeling assignments for the cities of Newport Beach, Menifee, Moreno Valley, Hemet, Lake Elsinore, San Juan Capistrano, Irvine, Indian Wells, Indio, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Banning, Beaumont, Coachella, Huntington Beach, and the towns of Mammoth Lakes and Apple Valley. To support these work efforts, Urban Crossroads has developed expertise in land use, socio-economic datasets and network topology using ESRI® GIS software.

Circulation Planning Urban Crossroads, Inc. has performed general plan circulation element / citywide traffic studies for numerous local jurisdictions, including the recently completed General Plan Circulation traffic studies for the City of Menifee and Rancho Santa Margarita. Typical activities include evaluation of land use alternatives, circulation system planning, as well as the preparation of goals, policies, and implementation programs. Their outstanding work was recognized in 2008 in the form of a national award by the American Planning Association for our technical traffic analysis effort as part of the Newport Beach General Plan update process.

Traffic Calming As the area wide traffic increases and cut-through or diverted traffic spreads to nearby neighborhoods, traffic calming studies are often conducted as a means to identify solution for traffic in these sensitive areas. Using professional engineering guidelines, Urban Crossroads will develop measures to satisfy local criteria.

Complete Streets The increasingly inter-modal aspects of transportation are addressed by Urban Crossroads on an integrated basis. Urban Crossroads staff has prepared detailed studies of on-road and rail transit services (including corridors and stations), and developed community circulation plans which successfully incorporate pedestrian and bikeway networks. The Urban Crossroads multidisciplinary approach is responsive to AB 1356, the California Complete Streets Act of 2008. This law requires cities and counties to include complete streets policies in their general plans so that roadways are designed to safely accommodate all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians, transit riders, children, older people, and disabled people, as well as motorists. Sustainable transportation networks are designed to improve the balance between environmental goals, community objectives, and performance (mobility and safety). Urban Crossroads, Inc. provides context sensitive design guidance related to the integration of land use and transportation strategies that ensure the reduction of vehicle emissions by residents, employees and patrons.

Visual Impact Analysis Analysis of aesthetic impacts will commonly address the following topics:

. Changes in visual character . Impacts to vistas from public and private viewing areas

Page 25 Coachella Valley Water District On-Call Environmental Consultant Services

. Increased light and glare . Shading/shadows . Consistency with adopted design guidelines

Analysis of aesthetic impacts typically involves photo-documentation of the site and surroundings and determination of whether or not the proposed project is consistent with the visual character of the area, adversely affects identified visual resources, alters views from important view locations, or otherwise adversely affects visual conditions in the area. Depending upon the nature of the project, Rincon can prepare shadow modeling that illustrates the effect of building height and massing with respect to shading of adjacent properties. We can also prepare photo-simulations of proposed projects. Such simulations can be helpful in communicating the effects of a project and have become expected for controversial projects. The topic also involves shadows, light, and glare. Rincon has produced outstanding shadow-modeling rendered by our in-house AutoCAD professionals.

Hazardous Materials/Initial Site Assessments Technical studies prepared by Rincon may include Phase I/II Environmental Site Assessments, asbestos surveys, lead based paint survey, and remediation as summarized below.

Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments and Remediation Hazards analysis will typically involve the preparation of a Phase I ESA and, if recognized environmental conditions are identified, Phase II testing. The scope of work for a Phase I ESA is established by ASTM standard 1527-13 and consists of four elements: records review, site reconnaissance, interviews, and report preparation. Pursuant to ASTM practice, Phase I ESAs do not include any inquiries with respect to asbestos, lead-based paint, lead in drinking water, regulatory compliance, cultural and historic resources, industrial hygiene, health and safety, ecological resources, endangered species, indoor air quality, or high voltage power lines. Phase II testing would involve testing of soil and/or groundwater to determine the magnitude and extent of any onsite contamination. If contamination exceeding regulatory action levels is identified, the Phase II report would typically include recommendations for remediating any potentially hazards. Typical approaches involve removal or treatment of the contaminated material.

Asbestos Survey If necessary, asbestos surveys will be conducted by an EPA accredited Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) asbestos inspector. The first step to the survey would be to complete a visual inspection of the facilities to identify the possible presence of building materials that may contain asbestos. After suspect building materials are identified, homogeneous sampling areas will be identified for each suspect building material. Homogeneous sampling areas are defined as areas in which suspect building materials are uniform in texture, construction or application date, and general appearance. Data will be presented by homogeneous area according to location as well as material type and the presence of asbestos. Representative bulk samples will be collected from each homogeneous sampling area. All samples will be collected using EPA sampling procedures as defined in the Simplified Sampling Scheme for Friable Surfacing Materials USEPA, 1985 and the AHERA located in 40 CFR part 763.

Lead Based Paint Survey If necessary, a lead containing paint survey will be conducted by a California Department of Public Health (CDPH) accredited inspector. First a visual survey will be conducted to identify the presence of suspect materials that may contain lead. After the suspect materials are identified, homogeneous

Page 26 Coachella Valley Water District On-Call Environmental Consultant Services

sampling areas will be identified for each suspect material. Homogeneous sampling areas are defined as areas in which suspect materials are uniform in texture, construction or application date and general appearance. After each suspect material is identified, lead paint readings will be obtained. Lead paint readings will be collected in accordance with Chapter 7 of the HUD Guidelines for Evaluation and Control of Lead Based Paint Hazards in Housing and U.S. EPA 40 CFR part 745 and Title X of the 1992 Housing and Community Development Act.

Asbestos and Lead Based Paint Survey Report Following completion of the surveys a final report will be prepared that documents the findings of the results. The report will identify the presence, condition, and area of asbestos containing material and lead based materials. If asbestos or lead based materials are present, Rincon can provide environmental oversight, monitoring, sampling and/or testing for constituents of potential concern during abatement or project construction.

Representative projects that Rincon has completed for Metropolitan under this Environmental Services On-Call Contract include but are not limited to those listed below. In addition to these projects, Rincon has also provided on-site trainings for Metropolitan staff on topics relevant to ongoing project work, including the California Rapid Assessment Method (CRAM) for Wetlands and Navigating Nesting Bird Regulations in Project Design and Construction. • F.E. Weymouth Water Treatment Plant Upgrades Project. Currently providing environmental compliance monitoring services in support of ongoing upgrades at the Weymouth WTP. This multi-year contract includes construction monitoring services for a variety of construction projects at the site. To date, these include the Chemical Upgrades Project, 2MW Solar Project, and, Filter Rehabilitation Project. Expertise in nesting birds issues, arborist services, noise and air quality have all been provided to date in support of this project. As part of another project at the Weymouth site, Rincon previously provided compliance documentation and general construction monitoring for construction activities associated with the Southern California Edison 66kV electrical upgrades at the F.E. Weymouth Treatment Plant in La Verne, California. In addition, Rincon previously provided consulting services related to bats at the Weymouth WTP. In late 2013, Metropolitan was planning to complete a seismic upgrade of Filter Building 2 that would require removal of the first three bottom layers of the roof tiles and upgrades to the rain spouts. Bats had been found roosting in the roof tiles of adjacent Filter Building 1 and bat guano was found on the ground adjacent to the filter basins as well as on the roof tiles. Rincon identified 7 bat species with potential to occur at the treatment plant or in adjacent roosting habitat, 5 of which are considered a California Species of Special Concern (SSC). Rincon was tasked with determining which species were present and to provide recommendations for methods to manage in place, remove or exclude bats at these structures. • Santa Ana River Bridge Seismic Retrofit and Routine Maintenance Project. Prepared an IS-MND with technical peer review and incorporation of a biological technical report, provided permitting support, and conducted focused avian and bat surveys. The IS-MND examines two seismic retrofit options, each describing a different construction methodology for performance of the seismic upgrades. The IS-MND also evaluates long-term access road maintenance and vegetation management activities proposed beneath and adjacent to the bridge to facilitate maintenance of the structure following the retrofit project. This multi-option analysis was provided to meet Metropolitan’s need for flexibility in the final project design and construction methodology. As part of the scope of work, Rincon also provided advice and information regarding the regulatory permitting process for the project. Focused bat surveys determined the potential for roosting bats and addressed agency comments received during document preparation. Rincon has prepared two addenda to the IS-MND to date to reflect minor alterations in the project since it was approved. Rincon staff also conducted the environmental compliance monitoring for the construction phase of the project, including monitoring and the potential relocation of listed species in compliance with the Incidental Take Permit for the project. In addition, Rincon prepared the Nesting Bird Plan for the project. • Palos Verdes Reservoir Upgrades Project. Prepared an IS-MND along with associated technical studies for Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions for this project. Key issues for this project included construction-related impacts from noise and air emissions as well as the potential for construction activities to affect recreational resources near the site. In addition, transport and disposal of the removed lining was a key issue analyzed in the documentation. The presence of PCBs in sealants historically used during maintenance activities and the potential for these to cause waste to be classified as hazardous was considered.

On-Call Environmental and Soil Testing Services Riverside Community College District Rincon Consultants was selected to provide services for two separate consulting lists with the Riverside Community College District: Environmental Services and Soils Testing Services. Serving a 540 sq. mile area and seven cities in western Riverside County, the District has enrollment of more than 40,000 students each year. The District operates three separate colleges: Moreno Valley College, Norco College, and Riverside City College, and three other learning centers in the surrounding communities. Rincon will be provided services to complete various new and renovation building projects for the District.

City of Claremont As-Needed Environmental Review Services City of Claremont In summer of 2010, Rincon was selected for both of the City’s on-call environmental documentation contracts. One contract is for preparation of EIRs, and the other is for small environmental documents (CEs, NDs, MNDs) and technical studies (arborist surveys, air quality/GHG analysis, noise studies, etc.). To date we have prepared a number of EIRs examining the Claremont Colleges and several MNDs examining City properties. The original contract was then renewed through 2017.

Water District Experience Groundwater Reliability Improvement Program Advanced Water Treatment Facility Construction Project Water Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD) Rincon provided comprehensive environmental compliance monitoring services to WRD concerning the demolition of existing structures and the rough grading of the 5.2 acre site on which the Advanced Water Treatment Facility (AWTF) is to be built. The scope of this work included the monitoring, testing and abatement oversight of Environmentally Regulated Materials(ERM: lead and asbestos); the monitoring and testing of site soils in compliance with the Soils Management Plan (SMP) developed for the project; and general Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP) monitoring of construction activities. Specific MMRP issue areas monitored included Air Quality, Biological Resources (including

Page 36 Coachella Valley Water District On-Call Environmental Consultant Services

performing nesting-bird surveys), Cultural Resources (including oversight by a Native American Monitor), Noise, and Transportation and Traffic; issue areas requiring special attention during this phase of the work included noise mitigation and mitigation associated with native species of nesting birds.

Rincon is currently providing general MMRP compliance services for the initial construction aspects of the AWTF, which include the installation of the Brine Disposal pipeline within San Gabriel River Parkway, and the installation of two groundwater monitoring wells that will be used to evaluate the flow of reinjected groundwater within the aquifers. Environmental compliance monitoring was performed in a fashion consistent with the Demolition Phase of the project, except that: 1) paleontological monitoring was also required as part of the oversight of the monitoring-well drilling; and 2) ERM monitoring was not required during this phase of the work.

Casitas Municipal Water District Pipeline Relocation Project Water Resource Engineering Associates Casitas Municipal Water District (CMWD) replaced a 14-inch water pipeline used for the delivery of drinking water from CMWD to Solimar, Faria, and Seacliff communities. Rincon provided a habitat assessment, wetland delineation, CEQA checklist and coordination with the California Coastal Commission in support of the project. .The project utilized trenchless excavation or a Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) technique to replace the pipeline and as a result, surface disturbing activities were designed to be limited to only the drill sites. A unique and potential inadvertent impact of HDD project is a release of drilling fluids/mud (water/bentonite mixture), a non-toxic non-hazardous substance, above ground, known as a frac-out. This potential impact was assessed and addressed within the Habitat Assessment developed for the project.

Rincon biologists completed a habitat assessment of the unnamed drainage 0.5 mile inland of the town La Conchita on the Pacific Coast.
