Subject: Proposal for Initial Study and Technical Studies and Subsequent Environmental Impact
Report for the Smokey Hollow Specific Plan, Catalyst Project
Dear Ms. Carver:
Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon) is pleased to submit this proposal for environmental services. The City

(EIR) for this project.
Rincon's team of CEQA practitioners and technical specialists will be supported by trusted
subconsultant, Fehr & Peers, they will provide the requisite vehicle miles travelled (VMT) analysis, and
peer review of previous traffic impact analysis.
Our project understanding and proposed workplan is further described herein.
This proposal is in effect for a period of 60 days. If you have questions or would like additional
information, please contact Danielle Griffith at dgriffith@rinconconsultants.com or (562) 719-6467. We
welcome the opportunity to discuss the details of this proposal at your convenience.
Sincerely,

City of El Segundo
Proposal for Catalyst Project
Proposed redevelopment of existing structures within the Smoky Hollow East (SH-E) zoning district of
the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan (SHSP). Both project sites are part of the Catalyst office development.
The project is a proposal to demolish existing structures and construct three new office buildings and
two parking structures in two locations within the SHSP area.
On the 3.24-acre North Site, the project includes: (1) construction of a 33,350 square foot addition to an
existing three-story building at that will be structurally preserved in place, for a total building area of
86,757 square feet ("Grand Building"); (2) demolition of an existing three-story square foot tilt -up
concrete building and construction of a new four-story office building totaling 62,953 square feet ("Holly
Building"); and (3) construction of a new six -story parking structure totaling 156,681 square feet with
474 parking spaces.
On the 1.95-acre South Site, the project includes: (1) demolition all existing structures; (2) construction
of a new three-story office building totaling 93,507 square feet; and (3) construction of a new six -story
parking structure totaling 130,684 square feet with 384 parking spaces and also a 886 square foot cafe
on the ground floor.
The SHSP was approved and a Program EIR was certified for the SHSP in March 2018. In 2020, the City
received an application for a proposed office development called the Catalyst Project (proposed project
or project") within the SHSP (formerly known as the Grand Kansas II Project). The City, as the Lead
Agency, initially determined this new application complied with the SHSP and its Program EIR and
directed MIG to prepare a draft "Consistency Analysis" to determine if the project was consistent with
the SHSP EIR. MIG utilized an abbreviated Initial Study Checklist to perform this analysis.
Subsequently, the City received a number of comments from the public, including a letter from the law
firm Lozeau Drury, regarding the need for additional environmental information and analysis for the
proposed project. After extensive discussion, City staff directed MIG to submit a proposal to prepare a
separate project -level Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (EIR), as the most appropriate CEQA
compliance document for the Catalyst Project. The City has requested Rincon prepare this scope of work
in consideration of the Project and Subsequent EIR as well.
This work program assumes that a Subsequent EIR, under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) will be prepared. Our work program includes the following City -requested technical report:
vehicles miles travelled (VMT) analysis with peer reviewed TIA reports, and an optional Air
Quality/Greenhouse Gas Assessment/Energy and Noise Study.
We understand the City would like to prepare a Subsequent EIR to the previous 2018 Specific Plan
Amendment, Program EIR, rather than a supplemental or new EIR. In accordance with Section 15162 of
the CEQA Guidelines calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. The conditions described
in Section 15162, include the following:
1. Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the
previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental
effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
Page 2
Agreement No. 6031
El Segundo
rr Proposal for Catalyst Project
2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is
undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified significant effects; or
New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been
known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as
complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or
negative declaration;
b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the
previous EIR;
c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be
feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but
the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in
the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or
alternative.
Our approach in preparing the Subsequent EIR is to develop a user-friendly document that identifies
potentially new CEQA impacts that need to be addressed, including Wildfire and Energy, and to address
transportation impacts using VMT as a significance criterion replacing the traditional Level of Service
(LOS) standard (requirement beginning in July of 2020).
The proposed project will be initially evaluated with the preparation of an Initial Study pursuant to the
CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a). To the greatest extent feasible, Rincon will utilize the analysis
contained within the previously certified Program EIR as the basis for the subsequent analysis, allowing
for the assessment of issue areas where there has been minimal change or where existing mitigation still
addresses the potential impacts, thereby reducing costs for the City. The Initial Study analysis will also
include a comprehensive review of the certified EIR mitigation measures. The purpose of the Initial
Study will be to determine the extent to which the environmental impacts associated with the proposed
2018 Specific Plan Amendment tasks were adequately addressed in the original EIR. This process will
confirm whether a Subsequent EIR is the appropriate document as assumed, and which CEQA
environmental topics may need to be focused on for supplemental analysis. Our detailed scope of work
follows.

Task I Rroj Cl' Girenliialior)
The Rincon team will hold a coordination meeting with the City and Applicant, to: (a) tailor the planning
process to address specific needs and goals of the City; and (b) confirm the scope of technical study
work, deliverables, and schedule. The scope and schedule, including public notification components and
additional tasks, will be refined based on our discussions. Working schedules will be finalized, and
details for scheduled tasks will be discussed. Rincon will prepare an agenda and identify any outstanding
document and information needs and will prepare and circulate a summary identifying action items
after the kickoff meeting. Project initiation also includes internal project setup and initial coordination of
the project team.
The following technical analyses will be prepared by Fehr & Peers and Rincon, and either incorporated
directly into the applicable environmental document or included in a technical report, as indicated
below. Technical reports will be submitted electronically, and one round of revisions based on City and
Applicant comments.
Quality,2.1 Air -- • — Gas • • Energy Studies
To address impacts associated with air pollutant and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, Rincon will
conduct emissions modeling and prepare a report. The air quality and GHG analysis will include the
following tasks:
■ Summarize the existing air quality conditions in the air basin using data for nearby air monitoring
stations available from the California Air Resources Board and South Coast Air Quality Management
District (SCAQMD).
Characterize the state of the climate and relevant federal, state, and local climate change
regulations. Identify the GHGs of primary concern.
■ Summarize the federal, state, and local standards and regulatory review requirements pertinent to
air quality and GHG emissions. Calculate construction and operational emissions of criteria
pollutants and GHGs using CalEEMod. Evaluate the significance of any air quality impacts based on
the air quality thresholds defined by the SCAQMD.
• Evaluate the potential for construction and operational emissions to comprise a significant
contribution to cumulative GHG emissions. The project's emissions will be quantified, and Rincon
will use the City's preferred approach to evaluate the significance of the project's emissions.
• Evaluate the potential for the project to cause odor impacts to off -site uses.
• Evaluate localized air quality impacts to nearby sensitive receptors from construction and operation
using SCAQMD localized significance thresholds methodology.
• Evaluate the potential for localized carbon monoxide (CO) hot spots near congested intersections.
We recommend a screening level analysis of CO impacts that explains that background CO levels in
the area are low, and that project -added vehicle trips on area roadways would not result in an
exceedance of State or federal CO standards. In the unlikely event that a screening analysis
determines that CO emissions may exceed applicable standards, we would notify you immediately
and determine an appropriate course of action with respect to the CO analysis (e.g., preparation of

CO modeling using the CALINE air dispersion model, which Rincon can conduct at an additional
cost).
• Evaluate the proposed project's consistency with SCAQMD's Air Quality Management Plan, the
Southern California Association of Governments' 2020-2045 Regional Transportation
Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy, the City's Climate Action Plan, and the GHG-related goals,
objectives, and policies of the City of El Segundo General Plan.
• Address and incorporate, as relevant, comments received on the project's Consistency
Determination from Lozeau Drury LLP and Soil Water Air Protection Enterprise.
• Evaluate mitigation measures for identified potentially significant air quality and GHG impacts.
The findings of the air quality and GHG analysis will be summarized in a report that documents the
methodology and results of air pollutant and GHG emissions modeling and any recommendations for
the project to reduce air pollutant and GHG emissions. An appendix with technical modeling data will be
included. Our scope of work includes an administrative draft version of the Air Quality and GHG Study,
one round of revisions in response to consolidated comments received from the client, and a final
version of the report. The Air Quality and GHG Study will be transmitted digitally via e-mail; no hard
copies will be provided.
The Energy Study will consider both temporary energy consumption during project construction and
long-term energy consumption during project operation. The energy analysis will be based on the
CaIEEMod modeling prepared for the air quality and GHG emission analyses in the Initial Study. The
evaluation of temporary construction impacts will include quantification of gasoline and diesel fuel
consumption by construction equipment and worker vehicle trips. The evaluation of long-term
operational impacts will include quantification of electricity and natural gas consumption by the built
environment and fuel consumption by project -related vehicle trips. The analysis will qualitatively discuss
whether the project would result in the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy
resources based on project location, project design features, and other factors. The analysis will also
evaluate the project's consistency with state and local plans for energy efficiency and renewable energy,
including the energy -related goals, objectives, policies, and measures of the City's Climate Action Plan
and the City of El Segundo General Plan.
The findings of the energy analysis will be summarized in a report that documents the methodology and
results of energy calculations and any recommendations for the project to reduce the wasteful,
inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources. An appendix with technical calculations
will be included. Our scope of work includes an administrative draft version of the Energy Study, one
round of revisions in response to consolidated comments received from the client, and a final version of
the report. The Energy Study will be transmitted digitally via e-mail; no hard copies will be provided.
Rincon will prepare a construction HRA quantifying potential health impacts associated with temporary
construction activities that generate particulate emissions from off -road diesel equipment. The
construction HRA will rely upon the CaIEEMod run prepared in support of the Air Quality, Greenhouse
Gas and Energy Studies under Task 2.1, as well as site -specific dispersion modeling, which will be
prepared in compliance with SCAQMD's Final Localized Significance Threshold Methodology. The
construction HRA will consider emission of diesel particulate matter associated with both on -site

emissions from construction equipment and off -site hauling emissions, as appropriate. Rincon will
determine average annual concentrations during the construction period at the nearest sensitive
receptors and "fenceline" receptors. Chronic and carcinogenic health risk calculations will be based on
standardized equations from contained in the State Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment
Guidance (2015) using either in-house spreadsheets or the revised Hotspots Analysis and Reporting
Program Version 2 (HARP 2) available from California Air Resources Board (CARB). As appropriate, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency guidance regarding application of early -life exposure adjustments may
be applied. If health risks are found to exceed SCAQMD significance criteria, Rincon will recommend
construction mitigation measures to reduce the severity of health risk impacts to off -site receptors, to
the degree feasible. Operational health risks would be addressed qualitatively based on
recommendations from the CARB 2005 Air Quality and Land Use Handbook.

The Noise and Vibration Technical Study will be conducted in accordance with City of El Segundo
guidelines, standards, and ordinances. The report will consider both temporary construction and long-
term operational noise from the project. The noise analysis will include the following tasks:
• Conduct a field survey to ascertain noise levels at key locations within the project area and vicinity.
Rincon staff will collect up to four short-term (15-minute) and one long-term (24-hour) ambient and
traffic noise -level measurements on the project site to characterize noise level associated with
existing traffic and project area activity. No vibration measurements are proposed.
a Conduct an analysis of construction activities to assess noise and vibration levels at adjacent
properties, based on equipment types and operations provided by the client. Vibration levels will be
calculated in terms of peak particle velocity for structural evaluations and for human annoyance
evaluations.
• Estimate future vehicular traffic noise levels using the Federal Highway Administration Traffic Noise
Model (FHWA TNM) acoustic algorithms. The traffic noise analysis will assess noise generated by
existing and future project related traffic affecting future noise -sensitive receivers and changes in
noise levels along roadways affected by project related traffic. The results of the model will be
expressed in community noise equivalent levels (CNEL).
Prepare an analysis of the potential for on -site noise generators (e.g., HVAC noise, etc.) to impact
adjacent uses using the Sound PLAN model to develop noise level contours. The Sound PLAN
modeling will consider potential impacts to off -site receivers. Source noise levels for identified
equipment will be obtained from equipment specification sheets provided by the client or
designated representative. If specific equipment has not been selected, Rincon can assist in the
development of a list of typical equipment anticipated to be included in the project based on
previous experience.
■ If significant impacts are identified, identify appropriate mitigation measures. As necessary, the
analysis will calculate the necessary barrier heights, operational restrictions, window and door
requirements, or other mitigation options to reduce noise levels to standards set by the City.
Prepare a Noise and Vibration Study that will contain the following information: (1) a brief project
description; (2) an explanation of study methodology; (3) a discussion of the existing noise levels
and local noise criteria; (4) a summary of noise impacts; and, (5) identification of mitigation
measures, as necessary. The Noise and Vibration will be transmitted digitally via e-mail; no hard
copies will be provided.

El Segundo
Proposal for Catalyst Project
The State Office of Planning and Research (OPR) has finalized the revisions to the CEQA Guidelines in
accordance with Senate Bill (SB) 743. In response to SB 743, Project VMT per employee will be estimated
based on Southern California Association of Government's (SLAG) 2016 Regional Transportation Plan
(RTP) travel demand model. As the City of El Segundo has not yet adopted VMT standards and thresholds,
the Project's VMT will be analyzed using OPR's recommended significance threshold and compared
against regional VMT data. VMT analysis will be conducted for both Existing and Cumulative conditions.
Based on the VMT analysis, potential VMT impacts will be identified. If the project creates VMT impacts
(according to OPR's significance threshold), travel demand management/trip reduction strategies will be
identified. Mitigation measures will likely focus on travel demand management (TDM) strategies for
employees and we will evaluate their potential effectiveness in trip reduction. Where empirical data is
available, we will quantitatively assess the benefits of the measures using our TDM+ tool, which allows
developers to estimate how a Transportation Demand Management plan affects vehicle trip generation
and corresponding VMT.
The results of the analysis will be documented in a transportation memorandum that will be provided to
the City. This memo will summarize the findings of the VMT analysis. A finalized copy of the memo will
be submitted following one round of edits from the City of El Segundo.
Task 3 hilrid Study
The IS will be prepared using the City's preferred environmental checklist format and will address each
checklist item. The analysis in the IS will use existing data and analyses, including technical reports
provided to Rincon from the SHSP, and previous environmental documents in the site vicinity, to the
extent practical. Where appropriate, in relation to established thresholds of significance, impacts will be
quantified. A determination of significance will be made for each topic, and program and project -level
mitigation measures will be provided for any significant effects identified. Rincon will use the CEQA
Guidelines to assess potential environmental impacts (e.g., No Impact, Less than Significant, Less than
Significant with Mitigation, and/or Significant and Unavoidable) for each required topic.
Our general approach to analyzing the topics in the current CEQA checklist is described below. As
appropriate for each topic, applicable mitigation measures will be identified. Based on the following the
subjects in the EIR will be determined:

Rincon will respond to one round of review of the Administrative Draft Initial Study prior to preparing
the final Initial Study. It is expected that consolidated comments will be received in an electronic
editable Word document.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15163(c), a Subsequent EIR shall be given the same kind of notice
and public review as is given to a draft EIR under CEQA Guidelines Section 15087. The NOP is intended to
alert other public agencies about the undertaking, and to solicit their input on the scope of the Draft
Subsequent EIR. Rincon will submit a final PDF copy of the NOP to city staff for posting on its website
and for distribution to public agencies. It is assumed that the City will distribute the NOP using the City's
distribution list. Rincon will review and make suggestions regarding the list, as requested, and be
responsible for filing the NOP with the County Clerk and State Clearinghouse/OPR. As required by CEQA,
the NOP will circulate to responsible and trustee agencies for 30 days.
During the 30-day NOP review process, the team will assist the City with facilitating a public scoping
meeting to inform the public on the environmental issues they should expect to see addressed in the EIR
as well as gather public input. Rincon will make a brief presentation on the environmental review
process, then record all public comments received. These comments will be summarized in a
memorandum to be included as a Subsequent EIR appendix.
The Subsequent EIR to a certified EIR only needs to contain the information necessary to make the
previous EIR adequate for the project as revised. Therefore, the format of the Administrative Draft
Subsequent EIR will follow that of a focused EIR, concentrating on only those topics found to require
minor additions or changes as a result of the proposed Specific Plan Amendment. Our general report
structure will include all the required sections of an EIR: Introduction; Executive Summary; Project
Description and Environmental Setting; Analysis, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures; Alternatives
Analysis; Cumulative Impacts; and Other CEQA Sections.
The number of impacts to be analyzed and the depth of analysis will be a function of the Initial Study
conclusions, responses to the NOP, and staff direction based on current needs, and those still
adequately addressed by the Subsequent EIR. New potential impacts will be identified, and mitigation
measures will be prepared or modified to reduce significant impacts to a less -than -significant level,
when feasible. For each potentially significant impact identified, the team will develop, in coordination
with City staff and the broader consultant team, Specific Plan goals and/or policies to avoid or reduce
identified impacts as self -mitigating policies. New or modified mitigation measures will be developed
only if self -mitigating policies are determined not feasible or reasonable.
The alternatives analysis will focus on reexamining the 2018 EIR alternatives and revise the alternatives
and associated analysis only as necessary based on the changes from the SHSP. Potential new
alternatives would then be assessed as to their ability to reach the City's identified project objectives
and if these alternatives would have additional or other impacts beyond the proposed project. As
needed, an alternatives matrix will be developed to provide an easy way to compare each of the
alternatives to one another and the project for each impact area.
Following internal City staff comments on the Administrative Draft Subsequent EIR (up to two rounds of
review), the team will incorporate appropriate revisions to the Administrative Draft Subsequent EIR and
