1.0 Project Understanding and Approach
1.1 Project Understanding
ECORP Consulting, Inc appreciates the opportunity to respond to the Request for Proposal (RFP)
for the Standard Pacific Homes Residential Development. We understand that the project
applicant, Standard Pacific Homes, has submitted a number of technical studies, prepared by
reputable consultants, to facilitate environmental analysis according to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Prior to preparing this proposal, ECORP staff reviewed the
project information made available to potential bidders by the City An ECORP staff biologist and
CEQA specialist also made a pre-bid visit to the site, in order to better identify and clarify issues
for the proposal The documents reviewed included
• a Traffic Impact Study by Urban Crossroads,
• a Preliminary Noise Study by Urban Crossroads,
e a Geotechnical Investigation by Geocon;
• an Environmental Site Assessment by Carlin Environmental Consulting,
• a Cultural Resources Assessment by Archaeological Associates;
e a Hydrology Summary Report by Hicks and Hartwick,
o a General Biological Assessment by TeraCor;
a a San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat Presence/Absence Trapping Study by ENVIRA, and
a an Independent Review Letter Report by Tom Dodson & Associates
Based on the analysis of the project in the technical reports, the City has determined that the
project has the potential to significantly affect the Federally -listed (Endangered) San Bernardino
Merriam's kangaroo rat (SBKR) (Dipodomys mernami parvus)
ECORP Consulting, Inc.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS
1 2 Approach to CEQA Compliance
It is our understanding that the City has requested that the CEQA contractor prepare the Initial
Study for the proposed project to determine the appropriate CEQA document for the project
(either a Mitigated Negative Declaration [MND] or an Environmental Impact Report [EIR]) There
are advantages and disadvantages to each document The MND requires less public review time;
however it offers less legal protection for the City and requires the applicant to mitigate all
impacts The EIR requires more public review time, but offers greater legal protection and does
not require mitigation of all impacts It is probable that the City will not be able to make a
decision on which document to pursue without the information and analysis that will be provided
in the Initial Study
ECORP Consulting's approach to the preparation of the EIR is to use the existing documentation
prepared for the project as the primary source of information We have identified a few areas
where additional or supplemental technical studies may be required, described below. We have
provided the scope and cost for these studies as optional tasks (see Sections 3.2.1 and 3 2 2)
Biological Resources. Multiple biological resources studies have been performed on the
proposed project site The primary biological resources issue for the development of the site is
the presence of the Federally -listed (Endangered) SBKR (Dipodomys merrrami parvus). In
October 2003, protocol -level trapping surveys were on the site conducted by a permitted
biologist and failed to detect SBKR on the project site Subsequently, an unauthorized trapping
effort (i.e., a consultant inadvertently trapped on the Standard Pacific TT 16689 site) did identify
SBKR on the northern portion of the project site An attempt was made to exclude SBKR from
the southern portion of the site by installing a fence However, it's not clear whether SBKR may
already have existed in the more southerly portions of the site at that time. The City
subsequently hired a consultant to perform a peer review related to the SBKR issues for the site
This consultant concluded that the biologist who monitored the fencing may not have been
appropriately qualified (i.e., permitted by USFWS) and that there is still no conclusive evidence
that SBKR may not exist in multiple areas of the site (Dodson 2005). Therefore they
recommended a protocol -level trapping study of the entire site We are proposing an additional
SBKR habitat assessment by Mr Stephen Montgomery (S.JM Biological Consultants). Based upon
the previous SBKR documentation for the site, we may recommend protocol -level trapping
throughout the site This trapping effort is included as an optional task (see Section 3 2 1)
ECORP Consulting, Inc.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS
Eligibility Evaluations for On -Site Structures The cultural resources assessment prepared
by Archaeological Associates mentioned the agricultural -related structures on the site only in
passing, describing them as"modern" No information was given on how this determination was
made We have proposed a reconnaissance -level survey by an archaeologist that specializes in
architectural history/historic archaeology as part of the Initial Study process This
reconnaissance -level visit is included in our proposal If it is determined that the structures may
not be warranted, ECORP will conduct an evaluation to determine if the structures are eligible for
listing The evaluation is included as an optional task (see Section 3.2 2)

3.0 Scope of Work
The project will be evaluated at the completion of Task 2 to determine if an MND or an EIR is the
appropnate environmental document As requested in the RFP, this scope of work assumes that
the Initial Study will recommend the preparation of an EIR.
3 1 Task 1— Project Kickoff, Preparation of a Project Description
Within 5 working days of the Notice to Proceed, ECORP will attend a project kickoff meeting with
the City planning staff, project applicant, and any others requested by the City (such as public
works staff). We have assumed we will receive copies of previously -prepared technical reports
for the project at this meeting
ECORP will prepare a project description based on information provided by the project applicant.
The project description will describe the project's location, characteristics, and construction
scenario ECORP will provide three copies of the project description to the City for review and
comment The revised version of the project description will be contained in the Initial Study
Alternatives to the project will be developed in Task 3, if an EIR is determined to be the
appropriate CEQA document
3.2 Task 2 — Initial Study
A CEQA Initial Study is generally used to determine which CEQA document is appropriate for a
project (Negative Declaration [ND], Mitigated Negative Declaration [MND], or EIR) However, an
Initial Study may also be useful even if the Lead Agency has already concluded that an EIR is
required CEQA Guidelines Section 15063 (a)(1) states,
If the lead agency can determine that an EIR will clearly be required for the
project, an initial study is not required but may still be desirable.
The Initial Study can be used to eliminate resources from discussion in the EIR that are clearly
not affected by the proposed project. ECORP will prepare an Initial Study for the proposed
project, and provide written justification of answers.

To determine the scope of the project impacts, and if the impacts can be mitigated, additional
study for air quality, biological resources, and cultural resources may be required at the Initial
Study stage The scopes of work for these resources are provided below, and their costs are
provided in the cost estimate for the Initial Study We have also provided optional tasks for
additional technical studies for biological resources and cultural resources, which are discussed in
Sections 2 2 1 and 2 2 2 The costs for these resources are presented separately from our main
cost estimate.
Air Quality. Included in ECORP's cost estimate for Task 2 is an analysis of the air quality impacts
of the construction and operation of the proposed project According to the SCAQMD webpage,
the screening tables in Chapter 6 of the CEQA Air Quality Handbook should no longer be used
under any circumstances because they are based on obsolete mobile source emission factors and
trip generation data. Methodologies in the Appendix to Chapter 9 of the CEQA Air Quality
Handbook or use a land use model should be used until new screening tables are developed
Emissions associated with the construction phase of the project will be estimated The emissions
estimates will be based on information provided by the project design team with regard to
construction requirements, and/or will be developed based on standardized approaches as
presented in the South Coast Air Quality Management District's CEQA Air Quality Handbook for
construction of single-family residential developments. The significance of the emissions based
on appropriate significance criteria developed by the City of Redlands and the South Coast Air
Quality Management District's CEQA significance thresholds. Where required, SRA will evaluate
mitigation measures to reduce potential impacts associated with construction. This assessment
will address criteria pollutant impacts
Operational impacts associated with the project mainly include increases in traffic and area
sources such as energy use. Based on the traffic analysis provided by the applicant, SRA will
evaluate the potential for a significant air quality impacts associated with traffic. In the event
that the traffic analysis projects a degradation in LOS at any affected intersection to LOS E or
worse, SRA will conducted a detailed CO "hot spots" analysis to determine the potential for an
exceedance of the CO standard The analysis will be conducted in accordance with Caltrans
guidelines. For the purpose of providing a cost estimate, SRA assumes that one intersection will
be evaluated for CO "hot spots."
Biological Resources Our scope of work for the Initial Study includes a habitat assessment for
SBKR on the entire property by Steve Montgomery, who holds a USFWS permit to trap and
handle SBKR and a CDFG MOU to trap and handle SBKR Based on this habitat assessment, he
12
ECORP Consulting, Inc.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS
will recommend if additional SBKR trapping studies will be required to confirm the
presence/absence of the species on the site, particularly on the southern portion of the property.
The scope of work for this trapping study is in Section 3 2 1, as an optional task If the City
agrees with this approach, this optional task will be conducted and the results will be presented
in the Initial Study
Cultural Resources, A reconnaissance -level survey of the agricultural buildings/structures on
the site will be conducted as part of the scope of work for the Initial Study The structures within
the project area will be examined by a Historic Archaeologist to assess their approximate date of
construction based on architectural characteristics and construction materials and techniques If
there is a possibility that the buildings were constructed prior to 1955, then ECORP will conduct
the optional task described in Section 3 2.2. This task will better determine the age of the
buildings and if they are eligible for listing
Also included in the cost for the Initial Study are records searches for paleontological resources
with the San Bernardino County museum and Native American resources with the Native
American Heritage commission These records searches were not provided with the applicant -
submitted reports We have assumed, for costing purposes, that the City or applicant can
provide ECORP with a copy of the archaeological resources records search conducted by the
applicant's consultant
3.2.1 Optional Task - San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat Studies
Based upon review of the previous biological studies, the proposed assessment by Mr Stephen
Montgomery, and upon authorization by the City of the optional task, a USFWS protocol -level
trapping study for SBKR will be conducted by a USFWS permitted biologist. Following completion
of the study, a report detailing the methods and results of the surveys will be submitted to the
City and the USFWS. The results of the trapping study will be incorporated into the Biological
Resources section of the Initial Study.
3.2.2 Optional Task - Eligibility Evaluations for On -Site Structures
If the structures appear to be of historic age (i.e , over 50 years old), based on the
reconnaissance -level survey included as part of the Initial Study, additional research will be
conducted to determine the exact dates of construction and to evaluate them for significance to
the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) Evaluation methods will include archival
13
ECORP Consulting, Inc.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS
research to determine if the structures are associated with any significant events or persons in
local history and detailed field recordation of the structures An evaluation report will be prepared
documenting the methods and results of the study The report will provide recommendations on
the CRHR eligibility of the structures, and if considered they are considered eligible, will assess
impacts to the structures from the proposed development of the parcel, and recommend
mitigation measures as applicable
3.3 Task 3 — Notice of Preparation/Administrative Draft EIR
3.3.1 Notice of Preparation
ECORP will prepare the Notice of Preparation, soliciting participation in determining the scope of
the EIR. The Initial Study will be attached to the NOP ECORP will distribute 50 copies of the
approved IS/NOP package for distribution to the County Clerk, various public agencies whose
approval and/or comments are required (Responsible Agencies), agencies with resources affected
by the project (Trustee Agencies), and interested parties and groups Within the 30 -day public
review and comment period, Responsible Agencies, Trustee Agencies, and members of the public
may provide comments about the EIR contents and the project in general
3.3.3 Administrative Draft EIR
An Administrative Draft EIR will be submitted to the City for review and comment prior to the
preparation of the Draft EIR. The EIR will be prepared using technical and environmental reports
provided by the Applicant, the air quality analysis, and the results any optional tasks chosen by
the City The EIR will include the topics for which impacts were identified either as "potentially
significant" or "less than significant with mitigation incorporated" in the Initial Study checklist. It
is important to carry forward the mitigation required in the Initial Study to the EIR, so that it will
be documented in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). However, it is our
approach that the majority of the documentation in the EIR will be for those issues where more
information or analysis was required, and a determination of significance could not be made in
the Initial Study
The EIR will also analyze up to three alternatives' an alternative of less intensive development,
an alternative with more intensive development, and the No Project Alternative We have
assumed that the applicant would provide any engineering data required for the alternatives
development.
