The revisions include: (1) description of various SBKR impact minimization measures included in the project design; (2)re-calculation of impacted acreage and presentation of revised figures; (3) discussion of maintenance activities and potential impacts to SBKR, which will be included as covered incidental takes within the scope of the Section 7 consultation now underway; (4) statement of broader objectives for the proposed conservation area included in this project;and (5) replacement of exhibits with new exhibits showing additional site plan detail and added on-site conservation areas, with related text revisions. Following the ERC meting on January 21, additional communications and document and exhibit revisions were required, as a result of further clarifications and revisions to the proposed project discussed with your Public Forks Department staff. The changes to the Biological Assessment can be handled within our existing budget for the Section 7 consultation effort; however, these changes were not anticipated in the EIR/EA budget and there is not sufficient budget left to cover our costs to mare the required EIR/E:-k revisions. We are, therefore, requesting an amendment to our existing professional services agreement to provide additional budget to reimburse ISA for these additional services. b) -Mee ting and. I earin s. The entire budget for attendance at meetings with City staff and at public hearings has been expended. "I"his resulted from attending a number of extra meetings with City staff to discuss project description changes and other critical issues that were not anticipated in the original scope of work. We are requesting an amendment to our existing —f-si services agreement to provide additional budget to reimburse TMBA for the costs E E g V E Kern ounty U.a':'r-- Mr,John Jaquess,City Planner February 18,2003 Page 2 of attending the remaining hearings and meetings that will occur during the balance of the EIR/E-A process. C-) Document RgyroductionZDistribution costs. The size of the Appendix is about five times what was estimated in the original budget ,-745 pages vs. 150 pages) and the number of color exhibits in both the Appendix and EIR/IE—N is larger than expected- Since this is a joint CEQA/NERN document,more copies of the Draft EIR/E-k and Appendix are required than originally estimated. This *includes additional copies for distribution of the EN pursuant to FE-NiNs direction, 22 additional copies of the Draft EIR/EA requested by the Ciq,, and increased TNIBA costs to produce and submit 15 copies of the Draft EIR/F-A,and Appendix to the State Clearinghouse. As a result, the costs to reproduce and distribute the number of Screencheck, draft and final documents listed in our current agreement xiill be substantially higher than the costs listed in our existing agreement. Wre are requesting an amendment to our existing professional services agreement to provide additional budget to reimburse RIBA for these higher costs. The amounts of each of the requested budget adjustments are itemised on the following page. Please call me if-,7-ou have any questions regarding this request, at 714.508.4100.
