RE; Proposal for Third Party CEQA Peer Review Consulting Services for the
Amendment to Environmental Assessment No. 971
Data Center Expansion Project at 444 N. Nash Street, El Segundo, California
Dear Eduardo;
Michael Baker International, Inc. (Michael Baker) appreciates this opportunity to submit our proposal in
response to your request for Michael Baker to conduct a peer review of the 444 N. Nash Street Data
Center Expansion Project (Project) California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Initial Study/Mitigated
Negative Declaration (IS/MND) prepared for the Amendment to Environmental Assessment No. 971.
Michael Baker regularly evaluates the best environmental planning practices being utilized in California
and conducts peer reviews of technical reports for effective CEQA practices and implementation. This
scope has been prepared based on the documents you provided (draft Project Description, Project
Planning Application Form, Public Review Draft IS/MND on the prior data center project, and the
associated Resolution 2728).
1.0 R11:1CJE "'I"' I QII CIII C IN'lI) A,Illgll) LYINDEIRST NDIIIINC
The property at 444 N. Nash Street was approved to be developed as a data center in 2008 and underwent
subsequent expansions approved in 2011 and most recently in 2013. The 2013 expansion activities were
reviewed in the CEQA IS/MND (Environmental Assessment No. 971) and approved through Resolution No.
2728.
Based on the draft Project Description (February 15, 2022) prepared for the forthcoming IS/MND (or
Subsequent IS/MND) for the proposed Project, Michael Baker understands that the Project proposes
further expansion of the data center facility to increase the number of onsite backup diesel generators to
15 units. No modifications to land use, building floor area, or structures are anticipated; however, some
earthwork and installation of ancillary facilities to support the additional generator would be required,
such as removing existing concrete, grading and drainage work, and installing the generator foundation
and housing.
The original Project IS/MND (2013) addressed the prior expansion to the data center facility, for which
the approved expansion activities are still under construction, as of February 2022. As a result, the draft
Project Description (February 15, 2022) for the Amendment to the Environmental Assessment identifies
the existing baseline conditions and future baseline conditions in the analysis.
This scope focuses on conducting a third -party peer review of the proposed Project IS/MND and
supporting documentation associated with the previous project approvals.
