subdivide four contiguous lots covering approximately 18 1 acres into 88 lots for development of
single family homes on approximately 93 acres. and 8 common lots of open spaces totaling
approximately 83 acres. The project site is located south of Highview Drive and east of Freya Drive.
in a rural residential area with large expanses of undeveloped land. Vacant land borders the site on
the south. east. and west. Single-family homes are located on the north and northwest comers of the
site. A 24-lot subdivision of 110 acres has been approved on the vacant land to the west. The
Redlands General Plan designates the subject site as "Resource Preservation District" with a Park.
This project will require the following City approvals:
1. General Plan Amendment No. 93-change Highview Drive from a "Local Street" to a
Collector Street" and modify Figure 5.2 of the Circulation Element to establish design
standards for Rural Streets and other rural public facilities.
I Agricultural Preserve Removal No. 100-affecting approximately nine acres along the south
border of the project site
3. Zone Change No. 390-changing the existing A- I Agricultural District zoning (5 acre
minimum lot sizes) to R-R Rural Residential District (minimum I acre lot sizes).
4Conditional Use Permit No. 780-for a Planned Residential Development
5. Tentative Tract No. 16361 -Subdivision of the subject property into 88 residential lots and
four common lots
Previous Environmental Review
Several technical studies were prepared by the applicant's consultants that were considered as
reference materials in the Citv*s Initial Study. These included:
a. Hydrology Analysis by Hunsaker & Associates I blett &
b, Preliminary Geologic/Geotechnical Engineering and Fault Investigation by Ne
Associates
c. Traffic Studies by Kunzman & Associates
d- Cultural Resources Study by Robert S. White, with supplemental studies on the purported
Geoglyph
e- Biological Assessments by Thomas Leslie and the Chambers Group, including U.F.W.S.
protocol surveys for the coastal California gnatcatcher
The Initial Study concluded that the potentially significant impacts of the project could be mitigated
to less than significant. and recommended adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration. The Draft
IS' 4ND and the project were reviewed under close public scrutiny at several meetings of the
Environmental Review Committee and Planning Commission. A number of concerns have been
raised by surrounding residents, including a perception of a hasty environmental review process and a
desire for more thorough review of the following issues:

• Traffic impact on Avenue N and Highview Drive and the adequacy of proposed mitigation
measures
• Adequacy of the preliminary geotechnical study and suitability of the soils for residential
development, including the impacts of on -site septic tank- systems
• Feasibilitv of water service
• Impacts on sensitive biological resources, especially on wildlife corridors
• Impact on archaeological resources, and the status of a purported Geoglyph
The Redlands City Council expressed a desire to have the results of the applicant's technical reports
independently verified by qualified specialists under contract to the City. In conjunction with that
direction, the applicant and City have determined that an EIR is warranted for this project.

Proposal to Prepare an EIR for TT 16361 Scope Of Services
Michael Brandman Associates (MBA) and its subconsultants will provide the following services to
complete the EIR process.
Task 1: Project Initiation
Task 1.1: Orientation Meeting/Compile Reference Materials
MBAs Project Director, project manager and other key team members will meet with City staff to
clarifi= and confirm the project description and objectives. identify key contacts at City Hall, discuss
scheduling targets, and to obtain copies of whatever pertinent reference materials, maps and other
data sources have been prepared for this project.
The MBA team will review all of the reference materials and maps to determine whether there are
any important data gaps that need to be resolved in order to complete the EIR. If such gaps are
identified, we will immediately notiN the City and develop a method of obtaining the needed
information without increasing the EIR scope of work and fees, if possible. If that is infeasible, we
will provide a scope of services and fee proposal to develop the necessary information.
Task 1.2: Conduct Field Survey of Project Area
MBA staff will conduct a field survey to observe and photo -document the existing conditions and
character of the project area and surroundings.
Task 2: Define Scope of EIR
Task 2.1 Complete and Distribute the Initial Study and Notice of Preparation
Following our field surveys and review of the project and reference materials obtained during Task 1,
MBA will prepare revisions to the Initial Study prepared by City staff so that the Initial Studv
conclusions properly frame the scope of issues to be addressed in the EIR, and to add further
explanation. where appropriate, to strengthen conclusions regarding less than significant impacts.
This work will include purchase and review of a hazardous waste sites database search to identify any
Locations within the project area where some formal governmental oversight is occurring or has
occurred relative to the release of hazardous wastes or other hazardous materials.
Based on our initial review of the City's Draft Initial Study and the public comments received._ we
have identified the following topics to be addressed in the Draft EIR:
• Aesthetics
• Agricultural Resources
• Air Quality
• Biological Resources
• Cultural Resources
• Geology and Soils
• Hydrology/Water Quality
• Land Use/Planning
• Noise
• Public Services (Police, Fire and Schools)
• Traffic and Circulation
• Utilities ( Water. Sewer and Storm Drainage)
MBA will respond to one set of City staff comments on the Revised Draft IS and finalize the Initial
Study. MBA will then prepare a Notice of Preparation of an EIR (NOP), as required under Section
Michael Srandman Associates
F#Propo,j, dcrc
Proposal to Prepare an EIR for rT 16361 Scope Of Services
15082 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The purpose of the NOP is to request input from public
agencies, special interest groups and other interested parties relative to the scope of the environmental
issues to be evaluated in the EIR, The NOP will include a brief project description with regional
location and project vicinity maps, a copy of the Initial Study, and the name. telephone number and
address of the City's contact person for this project.
MBA will produce and distribute up to 30 NOPs (including the Initial Study) via certified mail to the
State Clearinghouse. responsible and interested public and quasi -public agencies, local property
owners. and other persons and special interest groups identified in a master document distribution list
to be provided by City staff. City staff will be responsible for preparation and publication of a
newspaper notice to announce the release of the NOP and the dates of the 30-day comment period.
Deliverables
* 5 Screencheck Draft Initial Studies and completed NOP forms
* 30 NOPs, containing the City staff approved Initial Study
Task 2.2: Conduct Public Scoping Meeting (Optional Task)
The State CEQA Guidelines do not mandate a public scoping meeting for this type of project:
therefore. this is considered an optional task and is not included in our proposed EIR budget. If the
City prefers to conduct a scoping meeting, MBA will be happy to assist with organizing, announcing
and conducting the "scoping" meeting to explain the purpose of the EIR and the overall EIR process,
and to obtain comments concerning the environmental impact issues to be addressed in the EIR. The
cost for this assistance would be billed on a time and expense basis.
Task 2.3: Evaluate Responses to NOP
Immediately upon conclusion of the 30-day NOP review and comment period. MBA will evaluate all
written comments received to determine whether any additional topics warrant analysis in the EIR.
MBA will consult with City staff to assist in that determination and if changes are needed. appropriate
amendments to our scope of work, schedule and fees will be developed.
Task 3: Prepare Screencheck Draft EIR
The following scope of the EIR is based on our understanding of the project and the key issues as
discussed in the previous section. As noted above, responses to the NOP may necessitate some
revisions to our scope of services. MBA will prepare an EIR to address the key environmental issues
identified s, The EIR will include all elements required by the
of concern ied during the scoping process.
State CEQA Guidelines. in Article 9. Sections 15120 through 15131. Information and analyses to be
provided in each EIR section are described below.
Task 3.1: Introduction/Executive Summary
A brief summary of the proposed project will be presented and the purpose and intent of this focused.
project -level EIR will be explained, including the overall environmental review process and the
process of determining the scope of the EIR, as described under Task 2. Effects found to be not
significant will be specifically listed. based on the results of the Initial Study and NOP process, The
project sponsors and contact persons will be identified. Any documents that have been incorporated
by reference will be identified in this section, pursuant to Section 15150 of the CEQA Guidelines.
A matrix -style summary of the conclusions of the main body of the EIR will be presented, relative to
project and cumulative impacts, recommended mitigation measures and level of impact significance

remaining after incorporation of mitigation measures. Alternatives considered will be summarized.
including identification of the environmentally superior alternative, anv areas of known controversy
will be identified and anv environmental issues remaining to be resolved will be listed.
Task 3.2: Project Description
Information in this section will be derived from the tentative tract map and other application materials
provided by the Croy staff and the project applicant. This section will include:
• Name. address and phone number of project applicant and the primary contact person
• Project Location _ regional location. site location and boundaries (text and maps)
• Statement of Project Objectives
• Project Characteristics — text and illustrations describing the land use, design, infrastructure,
and grading aspects of the proposed project, and the anticipated time for project development.
• Intended Uses of the FIR — identification of Lead and Responsible Agencies and the approvals
for which this EIR is expected to be reviewed by those agencies.
A draft project description will be submitted to City staff for one set of review and comments to
ensure that the environmental impact analyses accurately and fully address the complete scope of the
project. at the appropriate level of detail. Once approved by City staff, if there are changes to the
project description, such as, but not limited to, mixture and intensity of land uses, placement, scope
and location of infrastructure improvements, etc., we may need to revise our scope of services, fees
and schedule accordingly.
Deliverables
• Five (5) copies of a draft Project Description, including illustrations
Task 3.3: Environmental Impact Analysis and Recommended Mitigation Measures
This section of the EIR will present findings and recommendations regarding project and cumulative
environmental impacts. The emphasis will be on the identification of significant impacts that would
result from project implementation. Impact significance will be determined by defining the changes
to the environmental baseline that would result from project implementation and comparing that
changed environmental condition to a standard or threshold of significance. Impacts will be
evaluated in proportion to their severity and probability of occurrence. Thresholds of significance
will be based on any such standards that have been officially adopted by the City or other public
agencies with primary authority relative to the impact in question. and/or those thresholds set forth in
the Initial Study Checklist contained in the current State CEQA Guidelines.
If the proposed project incorporates specific design or implementation measures intended to mitigate
potentially significant environmental effects, such measures will be noted and an assessment of the
project's "net impact significance" following implementation of the applicant's proposed mitigation
measures will be made. Where impacts are found to be significant. MBA will develop measures to
mitigate such effects to below a level of significance. if feasible. All recommended mitigation
measures will be defined to represent a close nexus between the measure and a legitimate
{-ovemmental interest.. and will be directly proportional to the level of impact resulting from the
project. Any impacts that would remain significant. even after implementation of all mitigation
measures, will be noted.
Our approach to the analysis of each of the environmental impact topics to be addressed in the EIR is
presented below° and in the following pages.

Aesthetics
Existing public views of the project site will be photographed and described in narrative terms. to
establish the level of visibility of this site from surrounding public vantage points. The significance
of those vantage points will be assessed in terms of the size and frequency of the viewing audience
and with respect to the visual relationship of this site to any scenic vistas it may occur within. Any
significant scenic features that occur on site, such as native oak trees, rock outeroppings or other
distinctive geographic features, will be photographed and described in narrative terms. These efforts
will establish a context from which to assess the significance of the projects impacts with respect to
scenic vistas and scenic resources. The proposed oak tree replacement program and landscaping
program will be considered as a mitigating factor for permanent changes to the natural landscape that
will result from project implementation.
Potential glare or other adverse effects that could result from night lighting introduced into this area
by the proposed residential development will be assessed.. and required compliance with existing City
lighting standards will be explained.
Air Quality
:Michael Brandman Associates (MBA) will prepare a stand-alone air quality study, and will
summarize that report in the air quality section of the EIR. The report will follow the methodology
recommended by the South Coast Air Quality Management District in their CEQA Handbook.
Construction phase and long-term emissions calculations will be computed with the latest URBEMIS
model, developed by the California Air Resources Board. This proposal assumes that all necessary
data inputs concerning grading volumes, equipment, work crew, import/export, etc. will be provided
by the applicant's civil engineer.
Agricultural Resources
MBA will complete a State of California Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) Model to
assess the significance of converting this vacant, formerly agricultural land into residential
development.
Biological Resources
MBA staff biologists will conduct a professional peer review of the biological assessments prepared
for the project applicant. This will include a thorough review of the report findings and research
methods and a full field survey of the project site to determine the biological characteristics and
suitability for habitat that supports sensitive plants or animal species, and to identify any habitat
linkages ("wildlife corridor") to other sensitive habitats outside of the project site. No federal or state
protocol surveys to determine presence/absence of any listed species will be performed. The
emphasis will be on corroborating the findings of the previous biological assessments and to identify
any important deficiencies that may be present. This task includes one field survey. If additional
surveys or other research are required to resolve any identified deficiencies in the prior assessments.
MBA will submit a fee proposal to the City and obtain authorization to proceed with such additional
work.
When our peer review is completed and we are satisfied that we have sufficient information to
properly assess impacts to biological resources. we will prepare the Biological Resources section of
the EIR. based on well supported information in the prior assessments and any additional findings and
conclusions reached through our independent review effort. This proposal and the associated cost
estimate assume that there are no serious deficiencies in the applicant's technical studies that require
additional research or analysis in order to complete the Draft EIR. Please also note that the scope of
work for peer review effort does not include any meetings with City staff or attendance at any public
meetings or hearings. If they are requested to attend any meetings, the costs would be billed on a
time and expense basis, in accordance with our most current fee schedule.

Cultural Resources
MBA's Senior Archaeologist will review the cultural resource surveys and reports prepared for the
project applicant. and conduct a full site field survey, to confirm that proper research methods and
documentation were completed. To address the issue of the purported geoglyP h raised by the Malki
Museum, a review of historical and current aerial photos will be conducted in the Fairchild collection
at Whittier College, to determine if there are any documented signs of earth art within the project site.
A joint field survey will be conducted with representatives of the Malki Museum and Citv staff, to
evaluate any ground surface features that may have been noted as potential geoglyphs during the
aerial photo research. If evidence of such features is observed. MBA suggests that a mitigation
strategy be developed in consultation with the Serrano andior Cabuilla tribes. Based on our findings.
we will prepare the Cultural Resources section of the EIR.
This proposal and the associated cost estimate assume that there are no serious deficiencies in the
applicant's technical studies that require additional research or analysis in order to complete the Draft
EIR. Please also note that the scope of work for our subconsultant's peer review effort does not
include any meetings with City staff or attendance at any public meetings or hearings. If they are
requested to attend any meetings. the costs would be billed on a time and expense basis, in
accordance with the most current fee schedule for their firm.
Geology and Soils
Earth Consultants will conduct a professional peer review of the geotechnical studies completed for
the applicant. They will perform the following tasks:
1. Review the geotechnical report prepared for the site by Neblett & Associates, as well as
pertinent. readily available reports and maps on the geology and seismicity of the area.
Analyze vintage sets of stereoscopic aerial photographs from the Fairchild Collection to look
for landforms that may be indicative of faulting and landsliding.
3. Conduct a brief site reconnaissance to get acquainted with the property
4. Review the engineering solutions, if any, proposed by the geotechnical engineer to mitigate
the constraints that have been identified onsite.
5. Prepare a letter report that summarizes their conclusions regarding the adequacy of the
geotechnical report prepared for the project by Neblett & Associates.
Please note that no subsurface work is included in the scope of work for Earth Consultants.
If any serious deficiencies are identified by Earth Consultants, we will submit a fee proposal to
complete the work necessary to develop the required information, or explore other ways of obtaining
that information. This proposal and the associated cost estimate assume that there are no serious
deficiencies in the applicant's technical studies that require additional research or analysis in order to
complete the Draft FIR. Please also note that the scope of work for our subconsultant's peer review
effort does not include any meetings with City staff or attendance at any public meetings or hearings.
If they are requested to attend any meetings, the costs would be billed on a time and expense basis, in
accordance with the most current fee schedule for their firm.
MBA will prepare the Geology/Soils section of the EIR, based on the information contained In the
Neblett reports. and any additional information and,,or analysis that may be provided by Earth
Consultants.
Hydrology/Water Quality
Huitt-Zollars will conduct a professional peer review of the Hydrology study prepared for the
applicant. to confirm the adequacy and accuracy of the methodology and findings, and to identify any

associated cost estimate assume that there are no serious deficiencies in the applicant's technical
studies that require additional research or analysis in order to complete the Draft EIR. Please also
note that the scope of work for our subconsultant's peer review effort does not include any meetings
with Citv staff or attendance at any public meetings or hearings. If they are requested to attend any
meetings, the costs would be billed on a time and expense basis, in accordance with the most current
fee schedule for their firm.
MBA will prepare the Hydrology section of the EIR, based on the information contained in the
Hunsaker report(s), and any additional information and/or analysis that may be provided by Huitt-
Zollars. The focus of this section will be on changes to surface hydrology and the adequacy of the
proposed storm drainage and flood control system. This section will also discuss long-term water
quality considerations resulting from the conversion of this undeveloped land to a residential
community. Required compliance with applicable State and City regulations will be described.
Land Use/Planning
This section will address consistency with the Redlands General Plan. the Southeast Area General
Plan Amendment, and the City's master parks and traits plans.
Noise
Giroux & Associates will prepare a stand-alone Noise Study that will discuss potential impacts to
neighboring residences, including short-term, construction noise impacts and long-term noise impacts
resulting from increased vehicular traffic along local roadways. MBA will summarize the results of
this report in the Noise section of the EIR.
Public Services (Police, Fire and Schools)
This section will estimate the increased demand on fire protection, police, and the local public school
district. and will determine whether this project would necessitate, or contribute to the need for, any
new public facilities or expansions to existing facilities that could have significant environmental
effects.
Traffic, Circulation and Parking
Kimlev-Horn and Associates (KEA) will conduct a professional peer review of the Traffic study
prepared for the applicant, to confirm the adequacy and accuracy of the methodology and findings,
and to identify any serious deficiencies that need to be resolved for the purpose of the EIR.
MBA will prepare the Traffic/Circulation section of the EIR, based on the information contained in
the Kurtzman Associates* report and any additional information and/or analysis that may be provided
by KHA. The focus of this section will be on project -level impacts to the existing and planned
circulation system, relative to the Civys level of service standards.
Utilities
MBA will consult with City staff in the Public Works and Municipal Utilities Departments to identify
the scope and location of all off -site utilities improvements required to provide adequate water, sewer
and storm drainage service to this proposed subdivision project. MBA will also contact the purveyors
of electricity_ natural gas, cable television and telephone service to determine the scope of any
required off -site improvements. Once the off -site improvements have been identified, we will assess
the significance of the environmental effects associated with construction of those improvements,
Cumulative Impacts
An evaluation of cumulative effects, with respect to each of the main environmental topics discussed
above, will be provided in its own EIR section. For example, we will evaluate this project's
cumulative effects on public school facilities with respect to the existing enrollment forecasts and
long range facilities needs assessments developed by the local school district, if available.

Proposal to Prepare an EIR for TT 16361 Scope Of Services
Cumulative traffic. noise and air quality impacts will be assessed on the basis of an assumed growth
rate in background traffic volumes.. plus additional traffic that would be generated by other planned or
pending projects that would affect the same aspects of the circulation system affected by the proposed
plan. The assessment of impact significance will be based on a careful consideration of the project's
consistency with or mandatory compliance with adopted regulator programs and standards that
address the cumulative impact in question. as well as the incremental effect represented by
implementation of the proposed specific plan amendment.
Growth Inducing Impacts
Growth inducing effects typically result from an investment in public infrastructure andF'or a change
in land use policies to permit new or additional development. Growth can also be indirectly induced
through economic ripple effects. for example, when a major employer moves into a community.
demand for local housing rises and other businesses who may have a relationship with the major
employer might establish a facility nearby. For this project, it appears that the focus will be on
potential growth inducing effects with respect to surrounding undeveloped land that could benefit
from utilities and roadway extensions included in the proposed project.
Alternatives to the Proposed Project
This section will provide a comparison of the environmental impacts associated with the proposed
project. a No-Project'No Development Alternative and two Design Alternatives that would reduce or
avoid one or more of the significant impacts associated with the proposed project design.
The impact comparison will be presented mainly in a qualitative perspective; however, quantitative
comparisons will be provided with respect to trip generation, air pollutant emissions, and water and
wastewater demand. Following a succinct narrative that compares the environmental impacts of each
alternative with those of the proposed project. the comparisons will be summarized in a matrix
format. for the reader's convenience. The environmentally superior alternative will then be
identified.
Report Preparation Resources
This section will consist of three elements. as follows.
Organizationg and Persons Contacted. All persons and organizations consulted with or from whom
information was obtained during preparation of this EIR will be identified.
EIR Preparation Staff. The key City staff members responsible for managing the EIR process will
be identified. along with the key members of the Environmental Consultant team.
Bihliograpkr: All documents.. maps and other information materials cited as references or otherwise
used as an information source during preparation of the EIR will be listed. A statement will also be
provided to notify readers that the references are available for review by contacting the City- of
Redlands Planning Department.
Appendix
The appendix will be bound separately from the Draft EIR, to reduce the bulk of the main document,
and also to facilitate selective distribution of these reports to those who have some statutory authority
relative to the subject matter or to those with a special interest. The appendix will contain the
following and possibly other elements:
• Initial Study rNOP and responses to the NOP
• Technical Studies Prepared for the Applicant
• Hazardous Waste Sites Database Search Results
• Air Quality Study

Task 3.5: Produce and Submit Screencheck Draft EIR
This task will consist of the support staff efforts required to compile, assemble and produce versions
the first screencheck draft EIR and Appendix materials.
Deliverables
• Ten (10) copies of Screencheck Draft EIR
• Five (5) copies of Screencheck Draft Appendix
Task 4: Respond to City Staff Comments, Prepare and Distribute
Draft EIR for Public Review
After receipt of one consolidated set of City staff comments on the screencheck document, MBA will
make necessary revisions, and provide copies of the second draft EIR and Appendix with all changes
shown in highlighted text, for final review and comment by City staff. Following receipt of final
comments from City staff. MBA will produce the required number of copies of the official Draft EIR
and Notice of Completion (NOC) form. MBA will be responsible for distributing copies of the Draft
FIR to the public agencies, persons and groups included on this project*s distribution list.
If our analysis determines that there are no State Responsible or Trustee Agencies that have some
discretionary authority over some aspect of this project approval, circulation of the Draft EIR through
the State Clearinghouse (SCH) is not necessary. In that case, the public review period would be 30
days.
If one or more State Responsible or Trustee agencies are identified. the Draft EIR will be circulated
through the SCH for a 45-day review and comment period. To reduce document production and
distribution costs, technical appendix will be distributed to a selected number of recipients, such as
the SCH and special interest groups who commented on the Draft IS/Tv1ND. A transmittal will be sent
with all Draft EIRs that will indicate how and where copies of Appendix materials and/or additional
Draft EIRs can be purchased, if desired. MBA will also distribute the NOC to all persons. businesses.
agencies and groups on the master distribution list developed during Task I. City staff will be
responsible for preparing and publishing a Notice of Availability of the Draft EIR in the local
newspaper.
Deliverables
* Five (5) copies each of the revised Screencheck Draft FIR and Appendix
* One draft Notice of Completion Form
* The number of copies of the Draft EIR and NOC that will be needed is not known at this time:

D. Work Conducted in the City of Redlands and Surroundings
Within the last five years, MBA has completed and/or is currently working on the following projects
within the city and neighboring areas.
Redlands Sports Park and San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat Conservation Program
Project is a master plan for phased development of a multi -use, active sports park and flood control
facilities. on approximately 108 acres of City -owned land near the Redlands Airport, on cleared,
fallow and existing7 citrus grove land. MBA prepared an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the
1
City. to satisfy the City's Lead Agency obligations under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). Since a portion of this project's flood control improvements are being funded by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), MBA has prepared an Environmental
Assessment, to satisfy FEMA's environmental review responsibilities pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Due to the presence of the endangered San Bernardino kangaroo
rat (SBKR) on the sports park footprint. MBA is preparing a Biological Assessment, including a
conservation program to provide quality habitat, and minimize impacts to this species under a Section
I
/ consultation with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. MBA also participated in the master plan
development of the park site to ensure that environmental impacts were nummized, including on -site
impacts to the kangaroo rat. The Final EIR was certified, and approval of the EA is pending the
outcome of the Section 7 consultation process.
Glen Helen Specific Plan EIR
MBA assisted County staff in the preparation of an EIR for the Glen Helen Specific Plan. The County
of San Bernardino initiated the Specific Plan for 3,400 acres (in the Glen Helen community of
unincorporated San Bernardino County). The site includes one of the largest remaining
wetlandfriparian woodlands in San Bernardino County. Environmental issues included seismic and
geologic hazards, wind and water erosions, fire hazards, traffic analysis, infrastructure development.
,,eo -
an extensive wetlands, and endangered species, including California gnatcatcher, San Bernardino
kanizaroo rat, and slender -homed spineflower.
Seven Oaks Dam Water Conservation Study EIS/EIR, San Bernardino County
The Seven Oaks Dam Water Conservation Project proposes to retain water in the dam for a longer
period of time to allow for increased groundwater recharge opportunities. Issues addressed in the
EIS/"EIR included water, biological resources, cultural resources, air and noise quality, land use,
recreation, transportation, public health and safety, and energy.
Environmental Impact Report, Hawarden Project at Lake Arrowhead
MBA is currently preparing an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for a proposed residential housing
development in the community of Lake Arrowhead. The County of San Bernardino Land Use
Services Department (LUSD) is seeking to allow the development of 58 single-family residential lots
and four lettered common lots for roads and open space on 39.8 acres, with a Conditional Use Pen -nit
application to request approval for a 20-foot high, 500.000-gallon concrete water reservoir (partially
buried in the ground). 52 feet in diameter, on one lot in the Tentative Tract in the Lake Arrowhead
Planning Area. The project is proposed to be developed in three phases. An Initial Study for the
project has been completed, and based upon the analysis provided in the Initial Study, the County has
determined that an FIR must be completed and certified prior to project approval. As the County
determined that the following concerns either lacked adequate information for a full analysis or had
potentially significant effects. MBA is focusing on aesthetics, biological resources, soil erosion, land
use and olanniniz. and mandatory findings of significance. Also of concern is the federally listed
Southern Rubber Boa and issues regarding the preservation of this species and its habitat.

Riverside Drive Initial Study/Environmental Assessment
MBA performed an Initial Studv/Environmental Assessment (IS/EA) for an underground storm drain
system located in the City of Ontario. California. according to guidelines set forth by the Southern
California Integrated Watershed Program and the Emergency Watershed Program administered by the
Natural Resource Conservation Service. The City of Ontario identified the project d the Lower
Cucamonga Spreading Grounds as part of their - c an
I ultimate master plan of storm drain facilities within
the Master Plan of Drainage for the New Model Colony (2000). The project consists of approximately
10.200 feet of underground storm drain tributary to theLowerCucamonga Spreading Grounds that
crosses through Delhi sands, MBA worked with Dr. Rudi Mattom of Agresearch. Inc. to assess the
suitability of the Delhi sands for the Delhi sands fly flower -loving (DSF). The site was determined to
be unoccupied and unsuitable for DSF. 1 44- 1
Habitat Conservation Plan and Environmental Assessment for the Delhi Sands Flower -loving
Fly (DSF) in Colton and Rialto, California
MBA worked with the client in developing the HCP and in negotiating with the USFWS concerning
details of the conservation measures and dedicated conservation area for the DSF. MBA prepared the
EA for the project and the HCP. The approval of the HCP and issuance of federal endangered species
incidental take permits allowed development of five separate projects on 32.8 acres in the two cities,
and provided I I acres of dedicated land for conservation of the DSF. The completion of the HCP has
set the stage for a resolution of conflicts between endangered species conservation of DSF and
development in the Rialto and Colton area, The dedicated Conservation Area is within a larger area
of DSF habitat, and is a kev parcel in developing a larger reserve for DSF conservation. The
Conservation Area will be managed by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
Pacific Rail Metal Shredding Operation Focused EIR
MBA is preparing a focused FIR for the City of Colton related to the installation and operation of a
metal shredding facility, at an existing scrap metal operation. MBA utilized an initial study to screen
out those impacts that would be less than significant, and therefore, did not warrant further'
environmental review. The issues to be addressed in the EIR include noise, air quality including air
toxics from diesel emissions, traffic. water quality and hazardous materials.
E. Pending or Settled Legal Challenges Concerning MBA -Prepared
Environmental Documents
Integral to the quality assurance function is the legal defensibility of the document. A legally
defensible environmental document avoids or reduces costly court delays. Our professional
environmental staff is kept abreast of new legal challenges to the CEQA and NEPA processes and are
well versed in all aspects of CEQA and NEPA case law. MBA senior staff participates directly in
IeL),islative review and revisions to CEQA and NEPA through the activity of professional associations.
,%�any of the projects for
which MBA has prepared environmental documents are highly controversial:
therefore. a number have been challenged in court. However. no environmental document prepared
by iMBA has ever been found legally inadequate.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Geologic Reviewer for the City of Diamond Bar, California. The City of Diamond Bar, located in
eastern Los Angeles County. encompasses vaned terrain from ranging from flatland to moderately steep
hillsides. Consequently, a I wide range of geologic conditions 'impact projects within the City. including
landslides. slope instability. compressible soils. liquefaction, and expansive soils. Development projects
submitted to the City typically include commercial sites. schools, parks. single-family home sites on large
parcels. and small to large mass -graded residential tracts. Review services provided to the City included:
• Developed guidelines for preparation and review of geotechnical reports'.
• Reviewed geotechnical reports submitted to the Cite (preliminary. tentative tract, grad -mg plan review -
as -graded reports- and environmental impact reports).-
• Reviewed project grading plans and notes for conformance with geotechnical recommendations.
• Performed field observation during grading. followed by progress reports to the City;
• Attended public hearings:
• Met with members of the Building and Safety Department;

investigation_ and anaivsis of the site required a strong. cooperative relationship with regulator_, agencies,
the developer, the civil engineer, and the oil field operator.
Geologist/author for the Technical Background Report prepared for the Cite of Moorpark Seismic
Safer -, Element. Bounded by two major active fault systems. the City of Moorpark is located in one of the
most seismically active areas of California. Historically an auricultural communitx. the citv's valley_ s and
gentiv rolling hills have experienced an increase in residential and commercial development in recent years.
'North of the cixv. moderate to steep hillside terrain is currently poised for several major hillside
de%elopment projects. As a result. the city must contend with the numerous natural hazards associated with
their area, including primary and secondary fault rupture.. earthquake ground shaking effects such as slope
failures and liquefaction. unstable foundation soils. drainage and flooding issues. landslides. and wildfires.
The Technical Background Report included a discussion of the city's susceptibility to these and other
hazards, the potential impact to lifelines and critical structures. and discussed various mitigation strategies
that could be used to formulate hazard reduction plans and policies on safe. environmentall_ sensitive
development.
Geologist/Project Manager for several residential developments within the former West Coyote Oil
Field, a 700-acre hillside area that spans portions of the cities of La Habra, La Mirada and Fullerton,
California. This extensive project included single-family and multi -family housing units. an 18-hole golf
course. equestrian center, water reservoirs. commercial areas and park sites, as well as the preservation of
several canvons containing coastal sage habitat and several endangered species. Services included several
phases of field investigation m order to provide land planners and design engineers with recommendations
for creating grading designs that would utilize favorable geologic aspects of the site while planning
nonstructural development for the problematic areas. The most significant impacts to the project were
potentially active faults. numerous landslides, potential instability in planned cut slopes. and thick deposits
of compressible soils. These issues were evaluated with over 150 exploratory trenches and borings. using
on this data, a characterization of fault patterns was developed, the three-dimensional geometry of the
landslides was anal•zed, and the extent of settlement in deep alluvium was determined. As a result, a
significant redesign of the grading plan was undertaken in order to reduce the amount of remedial grading
needed.
Geologist/Project Manager for a geological and geotechnical feasibility study, Montebello Hills Oil
Field, City of Montebello, California. This project design included single and multifamily homes. senior
housing, a school, a park site. two reservoirs and commercial areas. This investigation involved an aerial
photo analysis. literature review. detailed geologic mapping. explorator drilling, and laboratory testing in
order to identifV any- geologic "fatal flaws" or constraints to planning and design of the project. The
`eolog%- and soil engineering characteristics of the site were then summarized in a report suitable for future
use in the environmental impact report for the project. The principal geotechnical issues included natural
and graded slope stability. seismic hazards. and compressible soils.
Geologist for the preliminary investigation of the 80-acre Diamond Ranch High School site, located in
the City of Diamond Bar, California. Services included an analysis of historical aerial photographs.
geologic field mapping, logging of exploratory borings and trenches. interpretation and analysis of the
collected data. and development of remedial grading measures. Principal concerns were the mitigation of
large landslides and the stabilization of cut slopes in steep terrain of the Puente Hills_ The project included
cut slopes up to 200 feet high with design cuts up to I50 feet deep. A rock rippabihty and ground water
analysis were also crucial for the construction budget. This project, required numerous meetings with
design team members. school board representatives. city personnel. and the public.
Kay St. Peters, RG, CEG
Project Consultant/Geologist
Geologist for portions of the Newport Coast Development, a large, master -planned residential
community overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Crystal Cove State Park in Newport Beach, California.
Services for this project included planning, scheduling. and conducting- geologic mapping and exploratot-v
excavations in steep- rugged terrain-. analysis of existing natural slopes as ,vell as planned graded slopes:
and preparation of preliminary geological reports. This work required a cooperative effort between
members of the client's consultant team in order to develop Viable solutions for safely building the project
adjacent to ecologically sensitive hills and canyons containing large landslides and difficult slope stability
issues.
Geologist for a portion of the Eastern Transportation Corridor through the Cities of Orange and
Tustin, California. Services included detailed geologic mapping, organizing and conducting subsurface
field investigations- and assisting in the preparation of the materials report used for construction of the
multi -lane com*dors and East Orange Interchange. This project. which included numerous bridges and a
tunnel. passes through some of the steepest terrain in the Santa Ana mountains. resulting in cut slopes and
fill embankments in excess of 100 feet high.
