Consultant will perform aerial photography and prepare a topographic map at 1”=40’ scale, with two foot contour intervals. It. is anticipated that the aerial weeks of notice to proceed if the weather is clear. It is our understanding that enough area to accommodate alternative alignments is to be mapped, so our proposal indudes the whole of the Veterans Memonat Park, APNs 212-010-05 and 11. Deliverable: Blueprints for plancheck as required in Table I, 40-scale mylar, diskette AutoCAD Ver. 14 (or current version) photography =n be flown and the topographic mapping be prepared within eight Task II. Consultant will prepare preliminary alignments at 40-scale using the existing sewer alignment City drawing number DWG 294-1s and the alignment alternatives from the Proposed Faraday Alignment Study dated 2-4-88 and revised 3-3-88. This preliminary alignment will be used in the preparation of the preliminary environmental studies. Deliverable: Blueprints for plancheck as required in Table 1, 40-scale mylar, diskette AutoCAD Ver. 14 (or current version) Task 111. Consuttant will review necessary environmental information related to me project available from the City and other sources. These documents include the preliminary road alignment studies that have been prepared for the project, previous environmental documentation for the Macario Canyon Park, and other related studies included in the City’s existing environmental database. Consultant will survey the project area and surrounding areas to identify local conditions of the natural environment, land use, traffic and general environmental setting of the project. Biological resources and cultural resources memorandums will be prepared and provided to the City based on the reconnaissance to assist in determining a preferred alignment for the Faraday Avenue extension. 0 0 A. Impacts to biological resources will be described in terms of: sensitive plant and animal species present on site that may be affected by the project: and any new federal and state listings of endangered plant and animal species associated with the site. Mitigation measures will be developed, including project design elements which avoid or significantly reduce impacts where appropriate. A standard wetland delineation report meeting Army Corps of Engineers protocol will be prepared covering the identified portion of the wetlands on-site. . The Consultant team has recently conducted a general survey in vicinity of the project area as part of the Municipal Golf Course EIR. However a detailed biological sunrey will need to be prepared for the project area. Of particular interest is fhe destruction of wetlands, Least Bell’s Vireos, and Gnatcatchers, as well as the extent of sage scrub that may be impacted. Two sensitive plants have also been identified on a nearby site in spring 1997 surveys conducted by the Consultant team. Consultant will be responsible for preparing and processing all permits, as applicable with resource agencies affected by the proposed project. These permits are anticipated to include Department of Fish and Game Streambed Alteration (1601) and U. S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 permits. B. Consultant wifl prepare the archeological resources assessment for inclusion in the EIR, including a complete literature review, records search, cuftural resource survey of previously unsurveyed areas, relocate previously recorded cultural resources and spot check high probability areas. The cultural -resources report will meet the qualifications for cultural resource professionals and report preparation required by City guidelines. The majority of the project site was surveyed for archaeoiogical and pa’leontological resources through previous environmental analysis associated with the Macario Canyon Park and Carlsbad Municipal Golf Course, however additional surveys will need to be conducted to supplement the existing survey of the area. The fee for the cultural resources report is given as an estimate, not to be exceeded without City authorization, due to uncertainty of resources encountered. Deliverable: Reports in draft form to be distributed as detailed in Table 1, 5 original copies of the final report and one unbound copy with exhibits. C. The City has not made a final determination as to the environmental documentation that will be required for the project and will rely upon the Consultant prepared lnitial Study (Environmental Impact Assessment - Part I). Due to the project’s potential to impact significant biological and cultural resources, it is anticipated that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) may be required. However, a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be prepared instead of an EIR depending on conclusions reached following completion of an Initial Study. rev. 10/22/97 18 0 0 A detailed project description and Notice of Preparation (NOP) will be prepared and submitted for review by City staff, to insure that Consultant understands all aspects of the project before beginning detailed analyses.

The project objectives and statement of justification, and final project description will be prepared after consultation with City staff. Based on the findings of the Initial Study, the City will determine whether an MND or EIR will be prepared as environmental documentation for the project. The final project description, Initial Study and NOP will be submitted to the City for distribution to other public agencies and interested parties. .

The environmental impacts and mitigation measures section will discuss the environmental settings, basis (or thresholds) for determining' impact significance, significant 'environmental effects and unavoidable adverse impacts, mitigation measures for each of the project impacts, level of significance after mitigation (residual impact), and the MMRP relationship for organized in accordance with the CEQA guidelines. Each enGronmental factor with potentially significant effects will be discussed in the following sections: Environmental setting, induding the current state of the environment and any applicable local or regional plans affecting the environmental factor. Thresholds of significance to describe the standards or criteria which act as the basis for determining whether or not a project impact is significant. Consultant will work directly with City staff to develop thresholds based on existing City policy and standards, or other recognized impact standards. This section provides an important part of the evidence in the record that courts seek when determining whether or not an agency has property found an effect to be significant or not significant. Project-level and cumulative environmental impacts wifl be qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed to the extent possible. Where it is possible to quantitatively measure impacts (e.g., acreage of vegetation), factors approved by the City will be utilized. Whenever appropriate, the quantitative analysis will be based on the City standards with input regarding threshold standards for the affected service providers (i.e.. Carlsbad Municipal Water District, etc.). Mitigation measures will be distinguished between mitigation measures induded in the EIR and other measures not included but which could reasonably be expected to reduce adverse impacts if included in the proposed project. Where several mitigation measures are available, the basis for selecting from among will be discussed. The discussion of mitigation measures will provide the background for findings under section 15091(a) of the CEQA guidelines. Mitigation measures will be discussed in sufficient detail to provide the basis for a mitigation monitoring and reporting program. The environmentat factors to be analyzed in the EIR are: 1. Land use compatibility is anticipated to be generally compatible in terms of: land use compatibility between the proposed roadway extension and adjacent uses; and conformance with current City plans, policies and ordinances, including the General Plan, Circulation Element, Scenic Corridor Guidelines, Landscape Guidelines, and Open Space/Conservation/Resources Management Pian.
