For example, the length of time the City of El Segundo staff takes to ® Collection of additional data complete their review can reduce or extend the project timeline. Similarly, changing the project or introducing new issues mid project can also affect time and cost. While we are confident we can maintain a cost - effective approach with the project, the budget includes several assumptions: The project description is firm and unchanged during the review process. The environmental document will require two review drafts before publication. Within these assumptions, PBS &J has prepared a cost estimate that is competitive, yet accurately reflective of the level of effort required to complete the scope of services requested by the City of El Segundo based on our understanding of the project with the information made available to date. In addition, the proposed budget is based on the assignment of senior individuals to the project. PBS &J does not believe it is in the client's interest to submit an unrealistically low cost proposal, which is made possible by either reducing the scope of work or by assuming that budget augments will be made available at a later date. That said, we are flexible and willing to discuss ways to reduce our preliminary cost proposal, if necessary. For your convenience, we have provided a detailed cost proposal, identifying labor costs by task, by person (job classification), "and by hour, as well as indirect costs, reimbursable expenses and administrative fees. We have also included our standard fee schedule at the end of this section. Factors that would increase the scope of work and estimated costs outlined in this proposal include, but are not necessarily limited to, any of the following: b Attendance at additional meetings b Printing of additional copies of reports Excessive comments on the draft environmental document (beyond the number budgeted) Our cost proposal is valid for 60 days from the date of this proposal and is based on all team members' standard hourly rates. —:Fw r Printed on Recycled Paper an Atkins company W Pes&) Proposal # 0413:017721:1 1 10 412x, 4,1,9 ' Proposal to Provide CEIIA BI)CUM2012ti0h for the hnperial SCII901 Site Assisted LivingAtiolor Housing Project PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE OPTIONED ASSISTED LIVING /SENIOR HOUSING PROJECT IS /MND (OPTION A) S DIE LABOR COST ONMAI e s CLARATIOLU cost iggr s u e, i d TOTAL Crop 1- harmenlet Mono er Pre-M -. n 1,14—lw9 S.W.

Exhibit 6 Scope Of Work Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project METHODOLOGY PBS &J will employ several resources in preparing the environmental document for the Assisted Living /Senior Housing project. Resources will include the following: City of El Segundo and its Consultants: PBS &J will obtain and confirm all project details (i.e., project design, technical studies, etc.) from the City, Applicant, and any other consultants that the City may have retained to prepare technical, economic, or feasibility analyses. PBS &J will review the EIR currently being prepared for the Aquatics Site Feasibility Study, as it is applicable to the proposed project site. PBS &J will also contact the appropriate City agencies and departments in an effort to obtain required information regarding public services and utilities /service systems. Non -City Agencies: PBS &J will coordinate with outside agencies and organizations (i.e., South Coast Air Quality Management District; South Central Coastal Information Center at California State University, Fullerton; County of Los Angeles Natural History Museum; Native American Heritage Commission; Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board; Department of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources; California Department of Transportation; Southern California Gas Company; and Southern California Edison) to obtain necessary information for the proposed project, as applicable. Information from outside sources will assist in analyzing potential project impacts. Non -City Technical Studies and Agency Reports: PBS &J will obtain any technical studies or agency reports that may be applicable to the proposed project and /or the sites that are being considered. Obtaining previously prepared studies that are applicable to the proposed project allows PBS &J to identify commonalities and areas where information sharing can reduce the time, budget, or work needed to produce deliverables. Field Work: PBS &J staff will visit the potential sites to obtain existing setting information as part of preparing the environmental analysis. Site visits will be conducted to determine any potential aesthetics, air quality, 4123.,. biological resources, cultural resources (in particular historic resources), hazards and hazardous materials, noise, recreation, and traffic impacts at a minimum. Internet: PBS &J will research potential project and CEQA issues on the internet. The internet provides a wealth of information about the environment in Los Angeles and can offer details about other similar projects in the vicinity that may be applicable. All information obtained from the internet will be verified from a reliable source prior to inclusion in the environmental analysis. Further details about PBS &J's methodology for gathering information and preparing analysis for the Assisted Living/ Senior Housing project have been provided by CEQA issue areas below in this Section. DATA NEEDS In order to achieve the objectives identified in the RFP, PBS &J does not anticipate needing any City services or staff resources beyond those typically required during a CEQA process. PBS &J staff will obtain and confirm details about the project from the City (and its Applicant) and work with planning staff to prepare the required environmental document. Project details would include, in part, project design features, community outreach feedback, applicable information from the Aquatics Site Feasibility Study EIR, and any other issues that are unique to the proposed project. PBS &J will obtain and confirm any technical studies (i.e., biological, geotechnical, existing Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, drainage, etc.) that have been prepared for the proposed project from the City and consult with the City on the timing of the proposed project in order to accurately model projected air quality, noise, and traffic impacts. We will ensure that we are up to date on the City's community outreach efforts thus far and are knowledgeable about the community's interest in the proposed project. We will contact the appropriate City agencies /departments (i.e., Public Works, Fire Department, Police Department, etc.) to obtain information about the capacity and availability of these agencies /departments to provide for the proposed project. �y PHnted on Recycled Paper an Atkins company l,�J PBS &J Proposal # 0413:017721:1 1 10 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project PROJECT APPROACH The approach of the PBS &J project team is based on meeting the following objectives: Serving as a key element of the City's team to anticipate controversial issues, provide unbiased recommendations, devise solutions to potential impacts and /or other issues that may arise, and provide expert planning, policy, and environmental compliance consultation Committing senior management to the project to provide close coordination with, and accessibility to, the City to ensure technical accuracy, document objectivity, and legal defensibility Complying with CEQA, the current CEQA Guidelines, as well as current case law, and serving as a public educator of CEQA and the CEQA process / Complying with all unique City processing requirements Responding to all significant issues of concern raised by various governmental agencies, private entities, individuals, and community groups Submitting all required deliverables within the mutually agreed -upon time frames Providing the City with regular electronic updates of the documents as they are revised and finalized It is our understanding that the City anticipates preparation of an IS /MND or an IS, NOP, and EIR for the proposed project. The City is considering a proposed conceptual development that involves a two- tiered or optioned approach. Option 1 would consist of a senior living complex with a combination of traditional age - restricted senior housing (age 55 and older) and assisted/ independent living housing on a 5.65 -acre site. The assisted /independent living facility would have a range of 150 to 180 beds with 100 parking spaces. The senior apartment complex would have 130 to 150 units with 150 parking spaces. Access to the site would be from East Imperial Avenue. Option 2 would consist of a more traditional residential development with a mix of 24 single - family dwelling units and 45 multi - family units on private streets. The multi - family units would front East Imperial Avenue and take access from East Imperial Avenue only. 4123. The single - family portion of the project would take access from Walnut Avenue only. In addition to the proposed conceptual project, the following alternatives to the project will be studied if an EIR is required: 1) the "No Project" alternative; 2) a hybrid concept with a 150 -bed assisted living project and 20 single - family dwelling units on individual lots; and 3) a 200 -unit senior apartment/ condominium project. This proposal assumes that preparation of either an IS/ MND or IS /NOP and EIR would involve analysis of both Option 1 and Option 2. Therefore, the following scope of work includes Option A to prepare an IS /MND and Option B to prepare an IS /NOP and EIR. PBS &J will take full responsibility for project initiation and organization, review of existing information (i.e., Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments for the project site, applicable information from the Aquatics Site Feasibility Study EIR, etc.), data compilation, impact assessment, development of mitigation measures, report compilation, monitoring and review for CEQA adequacy, attendance at public meetings and hearings, response to public comments, coordination of the internal project team, and preparation of a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and Errata Sheet (as necessary). Report format and content will be in full compliance with CEQA (as amended through the date of submittal of the draft MND or EIR), the CEQA Guidelines (also as amended through the date of submittal of the draft MND or EIR), and the City's environmental guidelines and procedural requirements. General MND or EIR organization will include a discussion of existing conditions, potential direct and indirect /secondary environmental impacts, and the recommendation of mitigation measures for each affected issue area. All revisions to documents will be prepared using red -line/ strike -out format. To present information in a concise and easily understood format, text will be supplemented with graphics, charts, maps and tables on 8%2x1 l white paper, unless a larger format is critical to the readability of the document. Work products will consist of professionally photocopied reports in comb bindings, which are printed on recycled paper. The majority of graphics, charts, and maps will be presented in black ink, although some m - IIPW 'may Printed on Recycled Pape an Atkins company �J PBS &f Proposal # 0413:017721:1 1 10 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project color graphics may be included to help convey necessary information.

All documents, notices, and maps would be provided on CD in Microsoft Word 2003 format and sent via email as required by the City. Regular electronic updates of the documents would be provided to City staff as drafts are revised and finalized. All documents and plans shall be the property of the City of El Segundo. TASK 1 Participate in Project Startup Activities Members of the PBS &J team will attend one project kickoff meeting with representatives from the City of El Segundo. Specifically, PBS &J's project director and project manager, as well as KHA's project manager, will attend the kickoff meeting. The purpose of the kickoff meeting is to compile the relevant background data and reports; clearly define the proposed project for the purposes of the environmental analysis; begin to compile a list of cumulative projects; discuss the project schedule and important assumptions for achieving the schedule; identify all anticipated discretionary actions; establish early communication among various project team members, as well as the protocols for ongoing communication; and to familiarize the PBS &J project team with the issues and concerns that the City determines to be important issues for analysis in the environmental document. Based on the discussions and issues raised during the kickoff meeting, the PBS &J project management team will refine the scope of work, schedule, and budget, if necessary.

(KHA) will prepare the Traffic Study for the proposed project. PBS &J will prepare the Transportation & Traffic section of the MND or EIR. The following scope of work is based on our initial understanding of the proposed project. The proposed project includes two options for the development of a new assisted living /senior housing facility to meet the current and projected needs of the community and City. The project envisions either a MND or EIR level of analysis for both options, with at least three alternatives analyzed under the EIR. The Traffic Study will address the following conditions: Existing Conditions ® Opening Year • Without Project • With Project — Option 1 • With Project — Option 2 V General Plan Build -out • Without Project • With Project — Option 1 • With Project — Option 2 The Traffic Study will evaluate the traffic- related project impacts of the proposed project (both options) during the morning and evening peak hours on a typical weekday at up to ten (10) study intersections in the project vicinity. KHA will coordinate with City staff to identify the study intersections. The study will also provide an evaluation of the on -site circulation, project access, and compliance with the parking requirements of the Specific Plan development standards. KHA will prepare a study that meets the requirements of the City of El Segundo, and that complies with the Los Angeles County Congestion Management Plan (CMP). The scope of services for the Traffic Study is based on KFI s understanding of the project issues and the study requirements of the City of El Segundo. As part of project initiation, KHA will obtain a complete project description and confirm the to -scale copy of the project site plan, including: Printed on Recycled Paper an Atkins company Si! PBS &J Proposal # 0413:017721:1 1 10 11 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted LivingtSenior Housing Project 6 Number and type of site facilities (i.e., number of dwelling units by type, number of beds in the assisted/ independent living facility, etc.) Building and hardscape footprints Site layout showing all project driveways and parking areas t Parking supply for each of the residences / On -site vehicle flow lines. Any other site features that will affect the flow of traffic into and out of the site 'Ihe following outlines the tasks KHA will perform as part of completing the Traffic Study for the proposed project: Collect current weekday morning and evening peak hour traffic count data for the study intersections. KHA will confer with City staff to consider which traffic count data in the Aquatics Center EIR and other studies in the area (some collected in March 2009 and some collected in February 20 10) are usable for this study. For budgeting purposes, it is assumed that new traffic count data will need to be collected at five (5) study intersections. Develop trip generation estimates for the proposed site uses. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation (8th Edition) publication offers several land use types for residential developments, including Single- Family Dwelling Units, Multi- Family Dwelling Units, Senior Adult Housing — Detached, Senior Adult Housing —Attached, Congregate Care Facility, Assisted Living, and Continuing Care Retirement Community. KHA will provide copies of the descriptions for each land use category for consideration, and confer with City staff and the project team on which are the most appropriate for the proposed project (both options). Develop trip distribution and assignment assumptions for each component of the project. Separate trip distribution assumptions will be developed for the traditional housing, senior housing and the assisted/ independent living components. KHA will submit trip generation and trip distribution assumptions to City staff and the project team for concurrence prior to proceeding with the analysis. 4 I 2 3 •'6 s Distribute the project traffic to the surrounding street system and through the study intersections. Obtain approved and pending project information from the City of El Segundo and surrounding cities. KHA will start with the approved and pending project information compiled for recent studies prepared by KHA for other projects in the vicinity, and will contact each agency to confirm and update this information. Conduct intersection analysis for Opening Year and General Plan Build -out conditions — Without and With the Proposed Project (both options). Intersection analysis will be conducted using the City's approved Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) methodology. In addition, any intersection on a Caltrans facility will be analyzed using the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodology, as required by the Caltrans Guide for the Preparation of Traffic Impact Studies. 0 Identify project impacts, and identify project mitigation, if necessary. 1 The site plan for Option 1 reflects site access to and from Imperial Avenue, a drop -off area for the Assisted Care building (Lot 1) and perimeter parking for the Senior Living building (Lot 2) with multiple pedestrian access points. The project description for Option 2 indicates that the single - family component of the development would take access from Walnut, and that the multi - family component of the development would take access from Imperial Avenue. We will evaluate the proposed site access, on -site circulation provisions for both vehicles and pedestrians, and the project parking for both options. Prepare a stand -alone traffic study summarizing our analysis methodology, study findings, and recommendations. ® Prepare trip generation estimates and comparison tables for the two project alternatives. p Assist in preparation of responses to traffic- related comments (up to 8 hours). 0 Attend up to two (2) project team meetings and three (3) Public Hearings. ®Prfnced on Recycled Paper 9W an Akins company PBS &J Proposal # 0413:017721:11 10 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project x: The Traffic Study's scope of work and budget outlined in this proposal are based on the following assumptions: To -scale site plans and a complete project description, available on -site and off -site improvement plans, record drawings, and existing aerial photographs or topographic maps will be provided to KHA. 2. Any changes or revisions to the site plan or project description once the analysis has begun will require additional or changed analysis, which will constitute additional services, and will require an adjustment to the project schedule and budget. If issues not specifically listed here arise as a result of comments or concerns by citizens or City staff, they will be evaluated as a separate work authorization by KHA, for a fee to be mutually agreed upon prior to initiating work. Architectural History The proposed project would involve the redevelopment of a 1950s school campus to residential uses. Given the project would demolish historic -age buildings, a PBS &J architectural historian will conduct a survey of the project site. All buildings and structures on the campus will be recorded in the field, and interior investigations will be performed where determined feasible and necessary. The history of the campus will be gathered through available documents provided by the City and gathered from the school district and other local repositories to determine their potential significance per CEQA. A cultural resources records search will also be obtained from the South Central Coastal Information Center ( SCCIC). Existing research will be used to the extent possible. Archaeology The SCCIC records search will identify any previously recorded archaeological sites and archaeological investigations within 1/4 -mile of the project area. In accordance with standard professional practice, PBS &J will request a search of the Native American Heritage Commission's (NAHC) sacred lands database to determine if any Native American cultural resources are present 4123. t 1 � on or in the vicinity of the proposed project site. Native American organizations identified by the NAHC will be contacted for their input on the project. Given the urbanized setting of the project, PBS &J anticipates that no Native American issues will arise and the Native American consultation will be an exercise in professional due diligence. This scope of work and budget does not include a pedestrian archaeological survey. `technical Metro Based on the architectural history and archaeological investigations, PBS &J will prepare a Technical Memo summarizing the findings of the investigation and assess the project's potential effects on historical and archaeological resources. The Technical Memo will include a prehistoric, ethnographic, and historic setting for the project area and descriptions and evaluations of any known cultural resources on the project site. Where applicable, recommendations for further study or mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate adverse impacts on cultural resources to less- than - significant levels will be identified. The report will meet the standards of the Office of Historic Preservation for Archeological Resource Management Reports. IS /MND or EIR Section Based on the architectural history and archaeological investigations, PBS &J will prepare the Cultural Resources section for the selected CEQA document. The section will assess the project's potential effects on historical and archaeological resources in accordance with the requirements CEQA. The Cultural Resources section will include a prehistoric, ethnographic, and historic setting for the project area; descriptions and evaluations of any known cultural resources on the project site; a regulatory setting that identifies applicable state, federal, and local regulations that pertain to cultural resources; and an impact analysis of potential project- specific and cumulative effects.

The objective of this task is to prepare a comprehensive, accurate, and objective project -level IS /MND for the proposed project that fully complies with CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines (both as amended throughout submittal of the Draft IS /MND) and all applicable guidance and procedures established by the City of El Segundo for the purpose of environmental review. The main purpose of the Draft IS /MND will be to thoroughly and accurately analyze the environmental impacts of the proposed project at one preferred site. The document will be as free as possible of jargon so that the information it contains is accessible to the City and the public. The methodology and criteria used for determining the impacts of the project will be clearly and explicitly described in the IS /MND, including any assumptions, models, or modeling techniques used in the analysis. The IS /MND will be prepared in conformance with a City- approved Initial Study checklist format, and the NOC would be consistent with Appendix C of the CEQA Guidelines. All sixteen (16) CEQA issue areas, as well as climate change, will be sufficiently analyzed in the IS /MND. All appropriate mitigation measures for these resources would be included in the IS /MND and incorporated into the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. The "Environmental Impact Analysis" section at the end of this Scope of Work discusses each of the following resources in more detail. ► Aesthetics ► Agricultural Resources ► Climate Change / Cultural Resources ► Geology and Soils ► Hazards and Hazardous Materials ► Hydrology and Water Quality ► Land Use and Planning ► Mineral Resources ► Noise ► Population and Housing ► Public Services ► Recreation ► Transportation and Traffic ► Utilities and Service Systems It is assumed that key construction and operational features of the project would be available at the beginning of work on the IS /MND such that an accurate, finite, and stable project description could be prepared prior to beginning substantial work on the IS /MND. This approach has proven to result in the most expeditious preparation and processing of an IS /MND. All technical studies, survey results, data, and public and agency comments will be included as appendix material to the Draft IS /MND. Once comments on the Administrative Draft IS/ MND have been received from the City, PBS &J will incorporate all comments and submit (electronically only) a Screencheck Draft IS /MND to the City for final review before preparing the Draft IS /MND for public review. It is anticipated that comments received on the Screencheck Draft IS /MND would be minimal and mostly editorial in nature. Substantive comments requiring a second round of substantial edits would require an amendment to the budget proposed.

The document will be as free as possible of jargon so that the information it contains is accessible to the City and the public. The methodology and criteria used for determining the impacts of the project will be clearly and explicitly described in each section of the EIR, including any assumptions, models, or modeling techniques used in the analysis. The Draft EIR will include the following sections: 6 Contents 0 Introduction ® Executive Summary, including a comprehensive summary table of impacts and mitigation measures, areas of controversy, issues to be resolved, and a summary discussion of the proposed project and its alternatives / Project Description, including project objectives, project location(s), project characteristics, and required approvals b Introduction to the Analysis b Environmental Analysis • Environmental Setting • Regulatory Framework (applicable federal, State, local, plans, policies, and standards) • Thresholds of Significance • Project Environmental Impacts (short -term, long- term, direct, and indirect) • Mitigation Measures (for potentially significant environmental issues) • Level of Significance after Mitigation • Cumulative Environmental Impacts (short -term, long -term, direct, and indirect) Alternatives (up to three alternatives will be analyzed as per the RFP) ® Long -Term Implications (including growth- inducing impacts, a summary of project- related and cumulative significant and unavoidable impacts, and significant �® Princed on Recycled Paper PBS &J Proposal #0413:017721:1.110 an Atkins company Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project irreversible environmental changes or commitments of resources) b List of EIR Preparers ► References ► Technical Appendices It is assumed that key construction and operational features of the project would be available at the beginning of work on the EIR such that an accurate, finite, and stable project description could be prepared prior to beginning substantial work on the EIR. This approach has proven to result in the most expeditious preparation and processing of an EIR. The scope of work for the environmental issue areas expected to be analyzed in the Draft EIR is further described at the end of this Scope of Work in the "Environmental Impact Analysis" section, with an emphasis on unique and /or important components of the environmental analysis. In order to ensure a common understanding of the scope and content of the EIR, PBS &J will prepare a comprehensive list of each of the thresholds that would be evaluated in the EIR, as well as every impact statement that would be addressed to respond to each of the thresholds for review and approval by the City prior to beginning work on the EIR (some thresholds may contain more than one impact statement). Cumulative Impacts Cumulative impacts will be specified in the individual technical sections of the EIR. The cumulative analysis will be qualitative in nature and will be based upon known projects, either approved, proposed (applications on file), or reasonably foreseeable, within a defined area around the proposed project, as determined by the factors relevant to each environmental issue area. The cumulative impact assessment will be based on potential development projects that may, in combination with the proposed project, create cumulatively considerable environmental impacts, as required by Section 15130 of the 2007 CEQA Guidelines. Other CEQA Sections ► Summary. This section will be in tabular format and will briefly describe the impacts of the proposed 4123. project, the level of significance of impacts, recommended mitigation measures, and the level of significance after the recommended mitigation measures are implemented. Long -Term Implications. The EIR will discuss all significant unavoidable adverse impacts. The EIR will discuss any potential growth- inducing and irreversible impacts of the proposed project. Potential sources of growth inducement and their corresponding impacts, such as removal of obstacles to growth will be qualitatively analyzed, to the extent that they are applicable. Alternatives. In order to accurately define alternatives, PBS &J will work with the City to first clearly articulate project objectives. The EIR can then most effectively assess alternatives in light of CEQAs mandate to reduce significant project impacts while meeting the project's basic objectives. PBS &J proposes a two- tiered approach to the alternatives analysis, which is to (1) describe the alternatives screening process and (2) describe and analyze those alternatives selected for detailed study. This will allow the EIR to demonstrate the consideration given to a sufficiently broad range of alternatives. The alternatives screening process will provide an opportunity for the EIR to describe the process used to identify alternatives. The section will describe a range of alternatives initially considered, including their ability to meet "screening criteria." Alternatives not carried forward for detailed analysis will be identified, and the reason for rejection of these alternatives will be specified. For those alternatives described in detail, the EIR will qualitatively address the environmental impacts that would result. PBS &J will work closely with City staff to develop at least three alternatives to the proposed project (as per the RFP), including (1) No Project alternative (including the No Project /No Development alternative and the No Project /Reasonably Foreseeable Use alternative), 2) a hybrid concept with a 150 -bed assisted living project and 20 single - family dwelling units on individual lots, and 3) a 200 -unit senior apartment /condominium project. The alternatives will be provided in a sufficient level of detail for comparison with the proposed project. Each �. �"lyy Printed on Recycled Paper t�`f P65&J Proposal # 0413:017721:1 110 an Atkins company Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project alternative will be evaluated with respect to each key impact category. The advantages and disadvantages of each alternative and the reasons for rejecting or recommending the alternative will also be discussed and the environmentally superior alternative will be identified. During the course of the environmental analysis, minor variations to the proposed project that could have the effect of reducing or eliminating environmental concerns may become apparent. These variations will be recommended, where feasible. ► Appendices. All technical studies, survey results, data, and public and agency comments will be included as appendix material to the Draft EIR. Once comments on the Administrative Draft EIR have been received from the City, PBS &J will incorporate all comments and submit (electronically only) a Screencheck Draft EIR to the City for final review before preparing the Draft EIR for public review.

Full analysis will be included for both Option 1 and Option 2 of the proposed conceptual development. Aesthetics (Raul Henderson) Aesthetics (defined as any element, or group of elements, that embodies a sense of beauty), views, daytime glare, and nighttime illumination are related elements in the visual environment. Visual impacts of a project include the provision of objective visual resources (such as project design elements) and the subjective viewer response to those changes in the visual environment. The environmental analysis will provide a description of views to and from the site, supplemented by photographs. Under Option 1, the proposed project would introduce 3 -story structures (35 feet) with parapets and other auxiliary structures such as elevator shafts and mechanical screens that go up to 45 feet in height. Under Option 2, the multi - family units would be 35 feet in height and the single - family units would be 26 feet in height. Under either Option, the proposed structures would be greater in height than existing structures on the project site. Therefore, PBS &J will analyze whether both options of the proposed project would substantially degrade the existing 4123 a s visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings due to grading, height, bulk, massing, or architectural style or building materials; location in a visually prominent area; degradation of the visual unity of the area; or degradation of views from roadways or adjacent uses. Existing sources of light and glare will also be described. The environmental analysis will analyze whether the proposed project would create a new source of substantial light or glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area. PBS &J will evaluate changes in ambient lighting levels, including hot spots and spillover onto adjacent areas, particularly nearby residential uses and other sensitive receptors. Substantial light can be caused by lighting to illuminate signage or architectural features, or for wayfinding purposes, and substantial glare can be caused by the use of reflective building materials. Auk - 1thire d Resources (Allison ,X, Studin) The project site has not been utilized for agriculture purposes in roughly the last sixty years, and it is not designated as prime farmland, farmland of statewide importance, unique farmland, or local importance and is not subject to a Williamson Act contract. These issues will be discussed and supported with documentation. However, if preparing an EIR, Agricultural Resources will likely be scoped out in the IS/NOP. Air Quellity (GeoC€reyH. Hornek) The City of El Segundo is located in the South Coast Air Basin and is within the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The air pollutants of greatest concern in the South Coast Air Basin are ozone, NOx, COx PM10, and PM25. The air quality analysis will provide an introductory discussion of the air pollutants of concern in the region, summarize local and regional air quality, describe pertinent characteristics of the air basin, and provide an overview of the physical conditions affecting pollutant buildup and dispersion in the City and /or basin. The setting will also discuss the sources, types, and health effects of air pollutants. PBS &J will use the results of the traffic study, information regarding construction phases, schedules, and equipment, an Printed on Recycled Paper an Atkins com WJW PBS &J Proposal # 0413:017721:1 110 p y Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project as well as information regarding specific activities and hours of operation to model the potential impacts of the proposed project on air quality. By conducting the air quality modeling early in the environmental review process, PBS &J can determine whether there will be significant impacts to air quality, and if these impacts can be mitigated. If impacts to air quality are determined to be less than significant (with or without mitigation), PBS &J will either scope out air quality in the Initial Study (if an EIR is to be prepared) or prepare an air quality analysis part of an IS /MND. The EIR budget provided as part of this proposal does not assume that Air Quality will be scoped out during the Initial Study process. If Air Quality is ultimately scoped out of the EIR document, PBS &J can revise the budget provided herein to reflect this change. Local carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations will be modeled at up to five intersections to be selected in coordination with the City of El Segundo. Local CO impacts associated with each option's project traffic will be predicted using the CALINE -4 program and compliant with the recommendations of the Caltrans Transportation Project -Level Carbon Monoxide Protocol (Revised December 1997). The CALINE-4 computer dispersion model will be applied to the five intersections most affected by each option's project traffic, and nearby proximity to sensitive receptors. The air quality analysis will also evaluate potential air quality impacts of project - related construction activities. An 18 to 24 month construction schedule is anticipated for the proposed project. However, it is our understanding that uses (i.e., assisted living /senior apartments) may be built concurrently or independently. According to the proposed project's Preliminary Grading Plan, approximately 32,650 cubic yards of soil will be exported from the project site. The potential emissions impact of this excavation and off - site transport on air quality will be analyzed as part of the modeling and analysis. The maximum expected equipment to be in use during each phase of construction will be used to quantify maximum daily emissions. Emissions will be compared to the thresholds of significance presented in the SCAQMD Handbook. Mitigation measures for construction - related particulates will follow guidance from the SCAQMD CEQA Handbook In addition to the air 41 23 e 9 . emission thresholds established by SCAQMD, potential localized impacts for certain criteria pollutants with regard to project - related emissions are calculated using a separate method. For smaller projects (less than 5 acres), localized significance thresholds (LSTs) were developed in response to the SCAQMD Governing Board's Environmental Justice Enhancement Initiative I -4. LSTs represent the maximum emissions from a project that are not expected to cause or contribute to an exceedance of the most stringent applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard, and are developed based on the ambient concentrations of that pollutant for each source receptor area and distance to the nearest sensitive receptor. A LST screening analysis using the SCAQMD provided mass -rate lookup tables only applies to projects that are 5 acres or less in size and are only applicable to COX NOX, PM 10, and PM2,5. For this project, an analysis of localized concentrations of relevant criteria air pollutants (LSTs) during construction activities would also be conducted in compliance with the recommendations of the SCAQMD Final Localized Significance Thresholds Methodology (2003). The regional criteria pollutant analysis will examine vehicular and stationary sources associated with operation of both options of the proposed project. Based on estimated vehicle trips, vehicular emissions of carbon monoxide, ozone precursors (reactive organic gases and oxides of nitrogen), and small particulate matter (PM10) will be predicted and quantified using EMFAC 2007 emission factors and the California Air Resources Board's URBEMIS 2007 software, which will then be compared to the SCAQMD significance thresholds to determine whether each option of the proposed project would violate a State or federal air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation. The criteria pollutant emissions from future stationary sources (such as HVAC equipment) will also be estimated in the same manner. The SCAQMD's regulatory structure to evaluate and offset these emissions will be described. The air quality analysis will also qualitatively evaluate the potential exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations where each option of the project may cause emissions of identified pollutants in excess of the pounds per day or tons per quarter standards established by the SCAQMD. Mitigation measures will Panted on Recycled Paper MU �Pai &J Proposal #oai3:oinzi:11.10 an Atkins company Proposal to Provide CEDA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project be identified for potentially significant impacts, and their effectiveness will be quantified to the extent feasible. Potential conflicts with or potential to obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan where it may cause or contribute to emission of identified air pollutants in excess of levels stated in the plan or where it may fail to implement a remedial or mitigation measure required under the plan will be analyzed. The cumulative net increase of criteria pollutants for which the project region is in non - attainment will be analyzed to determine if the project emissions, considered cumulatively, will increase the level of any criteria pollutant above the existing ambient level. Clle(agrc ( Rasaurtes (IC�rl L. Clsmundsan) Based on our site visit, it is unlikely that any native vegetation exists on the proposed project site. It is also unlikely that any sensitive species or habitats are located on the proposed project site. While there are ornamental trees located on the project site and in the public right -of -way at the project site that could be directly or indirectly affected by construction activities, it is highly unlikely that they would provide suitable habitat for nesting migratory birds. To ensure that no impacts to migratory birds would occur, the environmental document will include a mitigation measure that requires preconstruction surveys for nesting migratory birds. This mitigation will be included in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program prepared for the project. Additionally, the environmental analysis will consider the removal of multiple mature trees and determine any potentially significant impacts of doing so. According to the 2009 Phase I and Phase 11 Environmental Site Assessment Report, the project site is not located within any national wetlands. These issues will be discussed and supported with documentation. However, if preparing an EIR, Biological Resources will likely be scoped out in the IS /NOP. Climate Change (Michael fL Hendrix) Climate change will be addressed using a methodology that PBS &J has and is currently using on other projects of similar size and upon confirmation with the lead agency. 4 1 2 3 • . s Based upon recent guidance from the California Air Resources Board and the California Office of Planning and Research, the environmental document should make a good -faith effort to (1) estimate the greenhouse gas emissions for the proposed project; (2) establish a link between the project's greenhouse gas emissions and potential impacts; (3) identify mitigation measures that would apply to the proposed project as published by the California Climate Action Team, California Attorney General's Office, and California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA); and (4) make a significance determination. To that end, PBS &J will utilize the most current protocol guidance from the California Climate Action Registry (currently version 3.1) to estimate the project's contribution in terms of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions, which taken into account carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrogen dioxide emissions. Project emissions associated with construction, vehicular use, utility use (electricity, natural gas, and water), and solid waste will be estimated. Additional guidance with respect to global warming (or climate change) has been published in a "white paper" by the Association of Environmental Professionals entitled `Alternative Approaches to Analyze Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Global Climate Change in CEQA Documents" (Final Draft, June 29, 2007), which was authored by PBS &J's Climate Change Expert, Michael Hendrix. Other useful guidance is also provided in "Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate Change: CEQA Catches up with Science, Celebrities, and Product Placement" (California Land Use Law and Policy Reporter, June 2007) and by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The recently issued thresholds for Climate Change, set forth by the Office of Planning and Research, will be included in the EIR. It should be noted that PBS &J is cognizant of the fact that the state of art for this issue is rapidly changing, and we must be compliant with the currently acceptable methodologies for analysis. PBS &J would request that the scope of climate change be discussed at the kickoff meeting to confirm PBS &J's approach, due to the precedent- setting nature of this analysis for future environmental documents. �y Princed on Recycfed Paper tjJ P8S &J Proposal # 0413:017721:111 G an Atkins company Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project rulfut"al Resources (Amber L. Grady and Denise jurich, PPA) The Cultural Resources section will include a prehistoric, ethnographic, and historic setting for the project area; a description of the buildings, landscaping, and site conditions as a whole; a regulatory setting that identifies applicable State, federal, and local regulations that pertain to cultural resources. The results of the survey and report prepared as part of Subtask 2B will be summarized in the Cultural Resources section of the environmental document. GeO109Y CMd Soils (Georgye Burwasser, PG) This section will be prepared using any geological information submitted by the City (i.e., Subsurface Soil Investigation Reports; Phase I1 Soil Sampling Investigation Reports, etc.), as well as available geologic and /or soils maps, published literature, stereoscopic aerial photographs, and information, reports, and /or plans with information regarding geology and /or soils for the proposed project site. Typically, for urban infill projects, enough data can be gathered such that a detailed geological study is not required, and further, standard construction techniques and the rigorous requirements of the Uniform Building Code, the California Building Code, and the City's Municipal Code provide enough protection to ensure that significant impacts do not result. Accordingly, these techniques and standards will be identified and discussed with respect to the proposed project, and additional mitigation measures, if required, will also be presented. The geology and soils section will report the type and magnitude of seismic activity typical in this portion of Los Angeles County, including the location of the nearest earthquake fault. In addition, the suitability of the on -site soils for the proposed development will also be identified and discussed, particularly as they may present potential risks to future occupants. According to the RFP, the overall slope of the project site from the northeast to the southwest is roughly five percent. The project site is graded in two pads with a 2:1 slope separating the pads. The proposed grading (roughly 37,000 cubic yards of soil) will eliminate the bench and create a more natural transition. Based on the information collected, soils and geologic conditions will be discussed, and potential impacts will 41 23 be identified. These issues will be discussed and supported with documentation. However, if preparing an EIR, Geology and Soils will likely be scoped out in the IS/NOP. 41t71 r s' Wd Hazardous Maferrafs (Ruta K. Thomas, 1?.EA) Historic use of the proposed project site as agricultural land and a school that may have resulted in the use, transport, or disposal of hazardous materials will be determined. The potential for past agricultural use and more current school use to contaminate the proposed project site will be assessed and summarized in the environmental document. According to the Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Report prepared for the project site by Leighton Consulting, Inc. in January 2009, four soil samples were collected at 0.5 feet below ground surface at the project site and analyzed for pesticides due to past agricultural use at the site. The assessment revealed no evidence of recognized environmental contamination in connection with the project site. The project site was not listed on any hazardous material databases. The Report went on to state that in general, observations should be made during any future site development for areas of possible contamination such as, but not limited to, the presence of underground facilities, buried debris, waste drums, tanks, and staining soils or odorous soils. Should such materials be encountered, the Report recommends that further investigation and analysis may be necessary. Since the hazardous materials database check was conducted over one year ago (dated December 1, 2008) and five sites with leaking underground storage tanks were listed within a 0.50 -mile radius of the project site, PBS &J has included the task of having Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR) run an updated hazardous materials database check to confirm that no new hazardous material activities have taken place within the project vicinity. If it is determined that this database check is not necessary, we can revise the budget included herein. The environmental document will describe planned uses at the project site (under both Options) that could create hazards for existing or future residents or occupants, such as those associated with the use, disposal, transportation, a (, Printed on Recycled Paper cif PBS &J Proposal # 0413:017721:11 10 an Atkins company Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project or potential upset of hazardous materials, including those typically used for commercial cleaning. Federal, State, county, and City laws and regulations governing hazardous materials will be summarized. The environmental document will also evaluate the extent to which both options of the project could impair or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan, or expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires, the latter of which is highly unlikely. Hydrofogy and Water Quti€€ (S� farina M. Cool:., Ph.D.) Existing hydrologic conditions will be identified, including the extent and nature of the existing watershed, groundwater recharge and supply, drainage conditions, and water quality. According to the Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Report, the depth to groundwater in the project area ranges from 9 1. 1 to 94.05 feet below ground surface. The groundwater flow direction was found to be multi - directional. The groundwater depth may vary due to the potential presence of discontinuous perched aquifers. The groundwater depth and direction of flow may also vary depending on extraction activities and natural or artificial recharge rates. Furthermore, the varied topography at the project site, as well as its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, the groundwater flow direction in the vicinity of the project site is likely to be variable. Surface water resources will be described for the project area. Existing and planned drainage and flood control facilities will also be described. According to the 2009 Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Report, the project site is not located within the 100- or 500 -year floodplain zone. However, if updated research indicates the project site is in fact located within a 100 - or 500 -year floodplain zone, the 100- and 500 -year floodplains within the project vicinities will be mapped, and any exposure of structures to the 100 -year floodplain will be evaluated. Typically, studies are not conducted in areas that are unlikely to pose a significant threat of flooding. During our site visit, we observed a narrow drainage channel on -site that parallels the developed portion of the campus on the west side. It appears that the channel dumps directly into the parking lot. Due to the 41 2 3 19 terrain of campus, water likely drains to the channel from the hillside and athletic field. The potential increase in the rate of runoff as a result of the proposed project will be described and compared to pre - development conditions. As discussed previously in this section, the overall slope of the project site from the northeast to the southwest is roughly five percent. The project site is graded in two pads with a 2:1 slope separating the pads. The proposed grading (roughly 37,000 cubic yards of soil) will eliminate the bench and create a more natural transition. The environmental document will analyze whether the proposed project would adversely alter the existing drainage pattern of the site, such that flooding, erosion, or other degraded water quality conditions would occur. As would be expected, impacts related to erosion are not considered likely, particularly assuming compliance with the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program during construction activities. A description of existing water quality conditions will be compiled based on existing data or inquiries to local agencies. The environmental document will address potential changes in surface water and groundwater quality as a result of site development. PBS &J will discuss the applicability of relevant water quality regulations to reduce potential effects. In addition, this section will determine whether the project would result in a rate of flow that exceeds any downstream storm drain facility's capacity. The risk of inundation by seiches, mudflows, and tsunamis will also be addressed in the environmental document. However, the risk of inundation by seiches or mudflows is considered highly unlikely given that there is no nearby water body that could result in a seiche (the Pacific Ocean is 1.6 miles west of the project site), and similarly, there are no mountain ranges in close enough proximity to result in mudflows at the project site. The issues identified above will be discussed and supported with documentation in the environmental document. However, if preparing an EIR, Hydrology and Water Quality will likely be scoped out in the IS /NOP. Printed on Recycled Paper Pas &) Proposal # 0413:017721:1110 an Atkins company Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Livin g/ Senior Housing Project Land Use and Ptartraing (Jessie Barltiley) The Land Use section of the environmental document will describe the consistency of the proposed land use with the Citys General Plan. The land use section will describe existing land uses, intensities, and patterns in the vicinity of the project site and the compatibility of the proposed project with existing development. The environmental document will evaluate any potential conflicts between the proposed development and surrounding uses. These conflicts could include a use that would create a nuisance for adjacent properties or result in incompatibility with surrounding land uses, such as difference in the physical scale of development, noise levels, traffic levels, or hours of operation. The environmental document will evaluate the extent to which adopted City development standards or proposed design standards would eliminate or minimize potential conflicts between the proposed project and adjacent uses. As described in Section 3, the proposed project includes the following planning entitlements: A Specific Plan to allow a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.75 for Option 1 and increased density for Option 2 A General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to re -zone the property from PRD to 540 East Imperial Avenue Specific Plan b A Zone Text Amendment to establish development standards for the Specific Plan 6 A Subdivision to re- configure the existing six parcels into seven new parcels with a "for condominium purposes" designation for Option 1 and /or a subdivision for 30 lots for Option 2 i A Development Agreement in order to implement the proposed project The potential impacts of the above requirements will be discussed in the environmental document. Nlinerof Resources (George Bunvasser, PG) The environmental document will analyze the potential for the proposed project to result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource or a locally important mineral resource recovery site. Additionally, according to the Phase 4123...E I and Phase II Report, the project site is not located within an oil producing area; however, it is located between the El Segundo and Hyperion Oil Fields. No oil or gas wells were found to exist on or adjacent to the project site. During Leighton's site visit in 2009, signs for a petroleum pipeline were observed along the north side of East Imperial Avenue. Potentially significant impacts are not anticipated, however, this issue will be included in the environmental document as per CEQA. If preparing an EIR, Mineral Resources will likely be scoped out in the IS/NOP. NOISO (GeoPtrey H. Hornek) PBS &J will use the results of the traffic study, information regarding construction phases (18 to 24 months; uses may be built concurrently or independently), schedules, and equipment, as well as information regarding specific activities and hours of operation to model the potential noise impacts generated by the proposed project. Existing ambient daytime noise levels will be measured at locations (to be selected in coordination with the City) within and around the proposed project site to establish current baseline noise levels. These locations will be identified on a map. The daytime noise levels will be measured using a Larson -Davis Model 814 precision sound level meter, which satisfies the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for general environmental noise measurement instrumentation. Potential impacts of surrounding uses (i.e., dog park across East Imperial Avenue) on the proposed project use will also be analyzed and discussed. Noise will be characterized in the following terms: h L q, the equivalent energy noise level, is the average acoustic energy content of noise for a stated period of time; for evaluating community impacts, this rating scale does not vary, regardless of whether the noise occurs during the day or the night Lmin, the minimum instantaneous noise level experienced during a given period of time Lm_, the maximum instantaneous noise level experienced during a given period of time Existing 24 -hour noise levels will be calculated for various roadway segments in the project vicinities using Printed on Recycled Paper an Atkins company PBS &J Proposal # 0413:017721:1 1 10 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project the Federal Highway Administration Highway Noise Prediction Model (FHWA -RD -77 -108) and current traffic counts from the traffic report prepared for the project. The model will calculate the average noise level at specific locations based on traffic volumes, average speeds, roadway geometry, and site environmental conditions. Vehicle noise energy rates in the FWHA model will be modified to incorporate rates utilized by Caltrans, which better represent vehicle noise levels in California. The analysis of operational noise impacts will address future noise levels at the project site and in the project vicinities. Future noise levels along the roadway segments in the project vicinities will be calculated to determine whether traffic generated by the project causes a substantial increase in noise at off -site locations. Noise levels generated during construction will be estimated based upon anticipated construction schedules, techniques, and building types, and all assumptions in the noise analysis will be consistent with what is assumed in the air quality and transportation /traffic analyses. The potential for construction noise to impact nearby noise - sensitive land uses (i.e., residences to the west, south and east) will be characterized by quantifying anticipated noise levels (e.g., based on distance). Furthermore, vibration impacts from project - related construction activities will also be evaluated if any pile- driving or other vibration - inducing activities occur. For any impacts that exceed identified significance thresholds, feasible mitigation measures will be identified, which may include modification of construction techniques or hours, changes in project design or layout, provision of temporary or long -term barriers to noise transmission, or limitations on outdoor nighttime activities. Population and Housing (Jessie Markley) The proposed project would not displace housing but would introduce new housing under either option. Therefore, the proposed project could alter the population, employment, and housing characteristics for the area through a change in land uses. As part of the project, a Subdivision is required to re- configure the existing six parcels into seven new parcels with a "for condominium 4123. purposes" designation for Option 1 and /or a Subdivision for 30 lots for Option 2. The potential population increase associated with the proposed project will be estimated using the number and type of dwelling units proposed (for each option) and the employment generation (and associated population growth, if any) will be estimated. The EIR will evaluate the project's consistency with any housing affordability requirements. The EIR will summarize the employment and housing characteristics of the city and region based on existing documentation and will be utilized to determine potential project impacts. Applicable General Plan policies regarding population, housing (including affordable housing), and employment opportunities will be described and analyzed in the EIR. The environmental document will address potential impacts of the project on police and fire department response capabilities and time. The environmental document would also address - proper site access and circulation, location and number of fire hydrants, and fire prevention devices and systems that would be installed. The proposed facilities would have a larger number of employees than the current closed facilities. However, the proposed project is not anticipated to increase City population significantly. Since there is no anticipated significant increase in population with the proposed project, impacts on schools and libraries is anticipated to be minimal. This will be substantiated in the environmental document. However, the potential impacts of demolishing an existing school may create impacts."This issue will be analyzed in the environmental document. If preparing an EIR, Public Services will likely be scoped out in the IS /NOR.

During our site visit, the athletic field on- site appeared to be maintained and in use. The potential impacts as a result of losing the on -site athletic field will be discussed in the environmental document. The environmental document will update the list of existing and planned park/recreational facilities in the area, and determine whether there is a significant increase in the demand for parkland /recreation facilities generated by the proposed project, which is considered unlikely. Transportation to an 'rr affic (Kirnley -Horn and. Assoclatt -5, Inc., and Kimberly M. Avila, A.1CP) As indicated under Subtask 2A above, KHA will produce a stand -alone Traffic Study that provides recommendations for the mitigation of project impacts, if any. The report will include the appropriate maps showing the study area(s), study intersections, and locations of the cumulative projects, diagrams showing peak hour turning movement volumes at the study intersections for each scenario, and trip distribution percentages. All calculations will be provided. PBS &J will respond to comments received from El Segundo staff. The MND or EIR will summarize the results of the Traffic Study. Utilities & Service Systems (David S. Beauch: sup) The analysis of wet utilities (sewer, water, and storm drain) will focus on the adequacy of existing City systems to accommodate the proposed project. With respect to sewer, this section of the environmental document will address whether the sewage generated by either option of the proposed project would exceed the wastewater treatment requirements of the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board. In addition, PBS &J would also coordinate with the City to ensure that the wastewater treatment provider has adequate capacity to serve the proposed project's projected demand, in addition to the provider's existing commitments. Similarly, the environmental document will address whether the wastewater generated by either option of the project would require the expansion of existing wastewater treatment facilities or the construction of new wastewater treatment facilities. If inadequate wastewater treatment is identified, measures to provide adequate wastewater treatment will be identified. 4123 In terms of storm drainage, this section of the environmental document will address whether implementation of either option of the proposed project would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems, either immediately downstream of the project site or at a potentially constrained confluence of storm drains further downstream. If inadequate storm drain capacity is identified, measures to eliminate impacts (such as the on -site detention, retention, and /or filtration) and /or upgrading the storm drain facilities will be identified. Water quality impacts would also be addressed in the environmental document. There is overlap in the CEQA thresholds with respect to the analysis of impacts to storm drainage: there is a threshold identified in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines for this issue in both hydrology and water quality and utilities and service systems. Typically, we address it in one of the two locations, and we refer to the analysis in the other location. A water supply assessment will not be required, since none of the requirements identified in Section 10912(a) of the Water Code would be triggered, such as the provision of at least 500 residential uses or a shopping center of more than 250,000 square feet. The environmental document will evaluate whether adequate water supply is available to serve the project site by providing the following analysis: P Anticipated water demand ® Water entitlements and water sources, including groundwater resources and wells Need for additional water supply, treatment, and /or conveyance infrastructure improvements needs to serve the proposed project t* Wastewater flow using factors provided from the City's Public Works Department The environmental document will provide a description of existing and future landfill capacity at the landfills that accept waste from the City of El Segundo and describe any regulations associated with State - mandated waste reduction requirements. The amount of solid waste that could be generated by the proposed project will be quantified based on factors developed in consultation with the City. m / Printed on Recycled Paper Vl PBS &J Proposal # 0413:017721:1110 an Atkins company 4*123•.. Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project Projected solid waste will be compared to existing and future landfill capacity to determine whether the changes in land use would substantially shorten the life of the landfill or necessitate expansion of the landfill. PBS &J will also contact Southern California Gas Company and Southern California Edison for information concerning existing and planned energy infrastructure and sources that would serve the project site. This information will be summarized in the environmental document. Based on factors provided by the service providers, the environmental document will quantify estimated energy use for either option of the proposed project. This demand will be discussed with the service providers to determine whether there is ample supply, which is almost always the case. If preparing an EIR, Utilities and Service Systems will likely be scoped out in the IS /NOR. As an optional task, PBS &J could prepare a full Wet Utilities Technical Study for the proposed project. The scope of work and budget for this task would be provided separately if and when such a study is deemed necessary.
