Subject: City of Beaumont On -Call Planning and Environmental Services Dear Grace:
The City of Beaumont's (City) growth and continued transportation improvements since its incorporation in 1912 have molded the City to become an exceptional location for new development and expansion opportunities. This is reflected with the recent focus by the City Council's revitalization of the downtown business corridor with the announcement of the Downtown Business Incentive Program and being the recipient of the Operating Budget Excellence Award. Chambers Group looks forward to witnessing the continued growth and excellence in the City. For the City to service new and expanding businesses, they require on -call environmental consulting services from a qualified consultant who understands not just the stringent environmental regulatory and approval process associated with its projects, but one that will also meet or exceed high expectations —a firm that offers speed of response, local history, regulatory expertise, customer service, and an extreme degree of flexibility. Chambers Group is that firm.
For over 40 years Chambers Group's focus has been helping public government agencies keep their projects in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and other environmental impact regulations related to natural and cultural resources.
In fact, in the last 10 years, we've held over 200 on -call contracts with public agencies. Drawing from this experience and from the firm's proven and streamlined on -call project management process, Chambers Group is prepared to provide the City with on -call environmental consulting services.
Chambers Group is excited to continue to provide CEQA and environmental compliance support services to the City including:
• Peer review of Applicant -prepared CEQA document and technical studies • Peer review of City -prepared CEQA document and technical studies • On -call advisory services for applicability of CEQA review and recommendations for appropriate CEQA compliance
• Notification and consultation with Native American Tribes in compliance with Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) and Senate Bill 18 (SB 18)
• Attendance and presentation at Planning Commission and/or City Council meetings • Providing suggestions to streamline City review and processing of applications • Review of CEQA documents prepared by surrounding jurisdictions for adequacy of analysis and issues important to the City
The Chambers Group team is structured in such a way that is efficient and effective for on -call contracts.
The team will be led by Eunice Bagwan as Project Manager. She will also serve as the primary point -of - Est

contact and will proactively collaborate with the City. Supporting her will be Saraiah Skidmore as the Biological Resources Task Manager and Lucas Tutschulte, Cultural Resources Task Manager.

In addition, Chambers Group has a deep bench of trusted subconsultants that we utilize based on specific project needs and can include in project work based on approval from the City. Alternatively, we would be happy to use the City's preferred subconsultants, as appropriate.
With this letter, Chambers Group certifies under perjury that the firm complies with state and federal non-discrimination requirements. I have the authority to negotiate and contractually bind Chambers Group to the City of Beaumont: Mike McEntee, Chief Operating Officer, 5 Hutton Centre Drive, Suite 750, Santa Ana, CA 92707, [email protected], 949.261.5414.

B. Introduction/Information
CHAMBERS
GROUP
Chambers Group submits this proposal to the City of Beaumont (City) to provide On -Call Planning & Environmental Services. Drawing from our experience of having managed 200 on -call contracts in the last 10 years, and with previous experience in working with the City, we are confident in our ability to apply our streamlined on -call project management process along with our quality client service and collaborative team -work approach to provide the City with the highest standard of environmental documents. In addition to working with the City, Chambers Group has also worked directly with project applicants and their consultants so that projects can move forward. We are excited at the opportunity to leverage the work we have done with the City of Beaumont and look forward to continuing to provide streamlined CEQA review for important development projects within the City.
Understanding
Chambers Group understands that the City is in need of a qualified consultant to provide on -call environmental services. In accordance with California State Laws and regulations, the City requires the implementation of CEQA. The contracted consultant will be responsible for the preparation of Environmental Impact Reports (EIR), Environmental Impact Statements (EIS), Negative Declarations (ND), Mitigated Negative Declarations (MND), technical studies, and other CEQA and NEPA documentation for proposed projects. The contracted consultant is also expected to attend public meetings, regularly interface and communicate with City staff and other City consultants, and attend regularly scheduled coordination meetings, as necessary, when work is in progress. We also understand we will provide services to augment City staff as it relates to CEQA, including review of submitted documents for private developments and assisting with the AB 52 consultation process. Under the direction of the City's Community Development Director, we will serve as a coordinator and will provide the range of expertise necessary to carry out the normal functions of CEQA.

Vista Environmental Services: Air Quality, Energy, GHGs, and Noise Analyses Vista Environmental specializes in air quality, energy, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and noise impact analyses for governmental agencies and the business community and has completed numerous complex studies that conform to both CEQA and NEPA requirements. Vista utilizes California Emissions Estimator Model° (CaIEEMod) (Version 2020.4.0) to calculate air quality and GHG emissions and to estimate energy usage. Vista Environmental's experience includes a wide range of project types, including residential, commercial, industrial, and recreational projects as well as public projects that include specific plans and general plans. Greg Tonkovich with Vista has prepared studies to specific standards and formats such as Caltrans Air Quality and Noise Study Reports and has completed air quality and/or noise analyses in over 200 different local jurisdictions throughout California.
C. Approach
To accomplish the objectives of the scope of services, we will apply our streamlined on -call project management process, client service standards, and collaborative teamwork approach. Upon a Task Order approval and work authorization, Chambers Group will initiate a project kick-off meeting to achieve the following:
• Establish communication and reporting protocols
• Discuss staff roles, responsibilities, and expectations • Gather project description information and all associated pertinent data including schedule and budget
• Address any project concerns or issues
The next steps are listed below to briefly demonstrate the typical workflow during the preparation of a CEQA/NEPA environmental document:
1. Finalize Project Description
2. Review/Scope Potential Significant Issues
3. Attend Formal Scoping Meeting (when required)
4. Prepare Draft CEQA/NEPA Document and Notices and Conduct/Manage Technical Studies
5. Attend Public Hearing on Draft CEQA/NEPA Document
6. Review/Respond to Public Comments on Draft CEQA/NEPA Document
7. Prepare Final CEQA/NEPA Document and Notices
Chambers Group is available to provide support during all stages of CEQA document development and would look to further our approach that engaging early in the process will help shape the scope of the analysis provided and prevent timely and costly re -work during the later stages of project development.
Our quality control and assurance (QA/QC) protocol is integrated throughout the life cycle of the document preparation process. Our objectives are to prepare the necessary environmental document, circulate it, respond to comments, and prepare a final document for circulation and certification.
D. Firm Profile
Founded over 43 years ago, Chambers Group is guided by the principles of the NEPA, CEQA, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, Migratory Bird Treaty Act, National Historic Preservation Act, 4 Est

Commencing in July 2016, Chambers Group has completed a series of task orders to support the City with general CEQA compliance as well as conduct peer review of project applications and CEQA documents. Chambers Group has provided guidance and assistance with the preparation of all required environmental impact documentation (including CEQA documents, Consistency Evaluations, Environmental Check Lists, etc.); preparation and/or peer review of technical environmental reports and analyses (GHG studies, traffic studies, noise studies, surveys, water supply assessments, etc.); participation and testimony in public meetings; consultation on CEQA processes and requirements. The following are examples of task orders under this contract:
High Sands Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) Peer Review CUP2020-0049, Beaumont, CA
Chambers Group conducted peer reviews and AB 52 consultation for the development of a drive-thru- restaurant and a 6,400 square foot office building, and the remodel of an existing car wash on a 2.38 - acre on Highland Springs Avenue, in the City of Beaumont, Riverside County. Highland Springs Avenue will be widened to 55 feet along the vacant parcels, thereby reducing the buildable area of the Project site to 2.31 acres. Chambers Group was able to work with the City and Applicant and their consultant team to ensure that the review comments were completed, and the document was ready for public review.
Legacy Highlands Partially Recirculated Draft EIR (PRDEIR) Peer Review, Beaumont, CA The City of Beaumont certified the Legacy Highlands Specific Plan Project Environmental Impact Report, SCH No. 2005031155 (the 2008 EIR), and approved the Legacy Highlands Specific Plan Project.

would provide for a total of up to 2,868 dwelling units (1,107 single family residential units and 1,761 active adult, low density residential units), 100 acres (approximately 1.20 million square feet) of commercial/industrial uses, a 20 acre school site, various neighborhood parks, undeveloped open space, and all supporting infrastructure and utilities. The EIR was published in 2007. In 2009, the Superior Court of California, County of Riverside released a Statement of Decision to revise portions of the EIR, thus, a Partially Recirculated Draft EIR (PRDEIR). Chambers Group reviewed the PRDEIR and the associated Water Supply Assessment to confirm that the requested analyses were completed to comply with the Statement of Decision. The reviews were completed, and the document was circulated for public review.
In addition to reviewing the PRDEIR, Chambers Group provided feedback on the response to comments after the public review period.
General Plan Update (GPU) EIR Peer Review and AB 52 Consultation Chambers Group contributed to the preparation of all 20 resource areas of the City of Beaumont's EIR for the GPU 2040. This included the Executive Summary, Introduction, Project Description, Environmental Impact Analysis, Consistency with Regional Plans, Alternatives, and other CEQA Considerations sections. The EIR included a discussion of the City's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) fair share of regional housing needs. The RHNA was a mandated State Housing law that is part of periodic process of updating the housing elements of the General Plan. On behalf of the City, Chambers Group reviewed and edited the GPU EIR to ensure it would meet all of the requirements of as outlined in the CEQA's guidelines, Section 15166, for preparing an EIR for a general plan. Chambers Group also assisted the City in conducting AB 52 and SB 18 consultation, which requires public agencies to consult with Native American tribes that are traditionally and culturally affiliated to a project area or geographic area of jurisdiction. Following consultation, Chambers Group successfully completed an expedited review of all sections of the EIR within the requested timeframe which allowed the document to be circulated for public review and be approved by City Council within the year.
Hidden Canyon Industrial Park Plot Specific Plan Updated Site Plan Review, Beaumont, CA The City of Beaumont requested the assistance of Chambers Group to support the City for the Hidden Canyon Industrial Park Plot Plan. The Project proposes to construct a 2.89 million square foot warehouse project in two buildings. A CEQA review was conducted for the Hidden Canyon Specific Plan in 1995. The EIR was prepared and certified. An addendum was prepared and certified to the EIR by the City in 2012 during plan modifications. A letter was received requiring further explanation on the Project's compliance / or non-compliance with CEQA. Chambers Group provided support to City Staff in reviewing the proposed project plot plan and preparing Staff reports and presentations. Chambers Group cited Section 15183 of the CEQA guidelines which demonstrated that the Project was consistent with the Specific Plan and required no further action, allowing the project to move forward. Further, Chambers Group attended and answered questions from elected officials and the public at planning commission and City Council meetings.
Southwest Corner 8th and Highland, Beaumont, CA
Chambers Group conducted a peer review of the CEQA document and associated technical reports for the development of a 3,500 square foot quick service restaurant, gas station, and convenience store.

Reports reviewed include IS/MNDs, EIRs, Addendums, air quality/GHG analyses, biological resources reports, cultural resources, noise studies, water supply assessments, and traffic studies. Examples of various task orders including projects relating to specific plan developments, cannabis cultivation, commercial resort development, and industrial development projects.
Because of the cultural sensitivity of the City, Chambers Group conducted Tribal Consultation on behalf of the City to comply with Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52). Chambers Group coordinated with the Native American Tribes (Tribes) that requested to be consulted for projects within the City. This effort includes preparation of AB 52 letters, scheduling tribal consultation calls, as well as discussing locations of TCRs within the City.
The peer review and tribal consultation process of several projects within the City overlapped with the release of Executive Order N-54-20 as a response to the pandemic in early 2020. Chambers Group worked with the Tribes to ensure that they received adequate time to review the environmental documents and provide recommendations to mitigate TCRs while keeping the City and project Applicants updated on the statuses of the projects.
GPU EIR Addendum, Desert Hot Springs, CA
Chambers Group is assisting the City of Desert Hot Springs in preparing an Addendum to the City's General Plan Update. The City prepared and adopted the GPU in May 2020. The City is proposing a zone change for four parcels, two are currently developed and two are vacant. The land use and zone change would allow expanded development for commercial uses for the vacant parcels and will update the zoning of the two developed parcels to be consistent with existing uses. Chambers Group will be reviewing the GPU's EIR to determine if the Project meets the criteria set forth in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines which requires the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. In addition to preparing an Addendum, the Project will include the preparation of an Air Quality, GHG and Noise to supplement their analysis.

Chambers Group is excited to continue to provide CEQA and environmental compliance support services to the City including:
• Peer review of CEQA documents and technical studies
Applicant and City -prepared CEQA documents and technical studies will be reviewed by Chambers Group to ensure that each resource area have been adequately analyzed and questions in the checklist have been answered thoroughly. Chambers Group will review any regulatory information pertinent to the project and call out any changes required based on guidelines published by the Office of Planning and Research if applicable. Either CEQA-level or detailed technical reviews will be completed on technical studies provided depending on the level of effort needed by the City or Applicant. • Notification and consultation with Native American Tribes in compliance with Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) and Senate Bill 18 (SB 18)
Chambers Group has considerable experience in cultural and paleontological resources management related to archaeology (both historic and prehistoric), built environments, ethnography, and fossil remains for public and private sector clients including areas within Riverside County. Chambers Group can lead the consultation efforts or provide general support during the outreach process. Given that tribes in the region may overlap for various projects, we can coordinate meetings directly with the tribes to discuss project -specific concerns and mitigation measures. • On -Call Services and Meetings
In addition to peer reviewing documentation, our services include close interactions with the City to streamline City review and applications, attending project meetings, and attending presentations at Planning Commission and/or City Council meetings. Chambers Group will provide the City with on -call advisory services for the applicability of CEQA review and recommendations for appropriate CEQA compliance. We understand the importance of face-to-face interaction and we will provide support to both the City and Applicants during project reviews and approval.
Additionally, Typical tasks of this On -Call contract may include CEQA/NEPA documentation preparation and/or technical studies needed. Technical studies will be prepared on a project -by -project basis. The information below provides Chambers Group's technical approach to accomplish the items outlined in the scope of services and includes technical approaches typically required for projects.
Environmental Studies and Minor Environmental Documentation Chambers Group's environmental planners, in association with other members of our team, have decades of experience providing CEQA compliance services for planning and development (residential, commercial, industrial) projects, water and sewer projects, transportation projects, buildings, parks, storm drains, restoration activities and other engineering -type projects.

experience with proven management techniques that focus on flexibility, responsiveness, and accountability.
Chambers Group also realizes that the complex processes necessary to produce legally -defensible environmental documentation cannot be accomplished without a close relationship with City staff, and an in-depth understanding of the City, project details, and characteristics of the local environment.
Chambers Group will work seamlessly with City staff to meet schedules, work within budget, and produce environmental documentation that is thorough and complete.
Because we expect the majority of environmental documentation required will be in compliance with CEQA, the approaches delineated below are regarding CEQA compliance. If, however, a project is proposed that will receive federal funding or requires approval from a federal agency, a NEPA document will be required. Our approach to NEPA documents follow closely our CEQA approach and every attempt will be made to combine efforts for both processes, saving both time and costs.
CEQA Categorical Exemption
For the purpose of this scope, it is assumed that the City will have made the initial determination that a project is categorically exempt. However, Chambers Group does have experience advising agencies whether a project is categorically exempt. Chambers Group will prepare the supporting statements and required forms for filing of the Categorical Exemption (CE).
CEQA Initial Study
An IS is typically prepared to determine the appropriate environmental document for a project which could be an ND, MND, or EIR. An IS would include a description of the project, including the location of the project; an identification of the environmental setting; a preliminary identification of environmental effects by use of a checklist, matrix, or other method, with some evidence to support the entries; and a preliminary discussion of the ways to mitigate the significant effects identified, if any. The IS also includes a discussion of the environmental factors outlined in the Appendix G checklist. The results of the IS will determine the appropriate environmental document and/or technical studies required to analyze the project to ensure its compliance under CEQA.
CEQA Negative Declaration/Mitigated Negative Declaration There are instances when an IS and MND can be large and complicated, as in construction on undeveloped land within sensitive cultural resource areas or projects that may involve controversial matters. Technical studies may be required to support the findings in the IS and to develop mitigation measures. These studies could include biological resources technical reports, archaeological resources technical reports, historic structures evaluations, noise studies, air quality studies, geotechnical and traffic studies, all of which can be performed with Chambers Group's project team. Chambers Group's approach includes brief reconnaissance -level field studies by an environmental analyst, biologist, and archaeologist to determine if more detailed technical studies are required.
Environmental Impact Report
In the event a project may warrant the preparation of an EIR, Chambers Group will review and prepare the needed technical studies, notices, and drafts in accordance with CEQA guidelines. Such documents will include technical reports, a draft EIR, a notice of preparation, responses to comments, mitigation and monitoring plans, and the final EIR. Chambers Group will coordinate with our subconsultants, and approved subconsultants of the City to prepare legally defensible environmental documents for City projects.

Preparation of Technical Studies and Special Studies
It is anticipated that during development of Initial Studies and minor environmental documentation, air quality, energy, GHG, and noise analyses will be required. It is expected that if other technical studies are required such as hydrology/water quality, traffic, or geotechnical, the City will use approved consultants identified under those categories. Our approach to these is as follows:
Air Quality/GHG — Vista Environmental
Beaumont is located within the South Coast Air Basin and the air emissions in the Air Basin are regulated by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). Specifically, the City is responsible for the assessment and mitigation of air emissions resulting from its land use decisions. The City relies on the expertise of the SCAQMD and utilizes the SCAQMD CEQA Handbook as the guidance document for the environmental review of plans and development proposals within its jurisdiction.
The approach used for air quality analyses are dependent on if it is to be prepared for CEQA, NEPA, or Caltrans standards but typically includes identifying the air quality setting, obtaining the criteria pollutant concentrations from the nearest monitoring station, providing a summary of all applicable air quality regulations, identifying the applicable thresholds of significance, evaluating and quantifying regional criteria pollutant emissions from construction and operations through use of CaIEEMod, evaluating localized criteria pollutant concentrations through use of SCAQMD Look -Up Tables or through use of AERMOD, providing an odor analysis that identifies potential odor sources and sensitive receptors that may be impacted, and determining if any thresholds have been exceeded and, if necessary, providing mitigation to reduce impacts to less than significant levels.
The approach used for GHG emissions analyses typically includes identification of GHG pollutants and their impacts to climate change, identification of applicable plans, policies and regulations and thresholds of significance, evaluation, and quantification of GHG emissions from construction and operations through the use of CaIEEMod, determination of any thresholds have been exceeded, and if necessary develop mitigation to reduce impacts to less than significant levels, and provide a consistency analysis to determine if the project would conflict with any applicable plan for reducing GHG emissions.
Biological Resources
Chambers Group's biology task may utilize our deep bench of well-rounded biologists allowing for scheduling of simultaneous tasks at multiple sites. Our biological resources staff hold permits from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) for collecting select species, conducting protocol surveys of sensitive species, and following specialized habitat evaluation procedures. The biology staff includes botanists and restoration ecologists who survey for sensitive plant species as well as specialize in restoration, revegetation, and soil analysis. In addition, Chambers Group staff are certified to perform wetland delineations.
Chambers Group biologists will prepare biological technical documents, develop mitigation measures during the final design to avoid, minimize, and/or compensate for impacts to biological resources, and prepare any required restoration and mitigation monitoring plans. Chambers Group biologists will coordinate with wildlife agencies and assist in a full range of consultant services under federal and state endangered species acts. Our staff provides permit assistance for all project aspects (including a U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers [USACE] Clean Water Act Section 404 permit, CDFW Section 1602 Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement, and Regional Water Quality Control Board [RWQCB] Section 401 Water Quality Certification). In addition, our staff will communicate and coordinate with the City's engineer and environmental staff, resource agencies, and construction contractors regarding project Est

schedules and the effects of design changes on the environment. Our staff will anticipate issues and provide solutions to avoid conflict.
Cultural/Paleontological Resources
The cultural resources task will be supported by our in-house archaeological, historical resources and paleontological staff. The team is well equipped to respond to a wide range of cultural resources -related situations and provide expeditious resolution to complex challenges. The firm's staff is highly trained in all aspects of cultural resources, historic preservation and paleontological laws. Moreover, all team members have been trained in the Assembly Bill 52 (AB -52) requirements regarding Native American Tribal Cultural Resources and Consultation, part of the CEQA environmental review effective July 1, 2015.
Additionally, the Chambers Group team meets or exceeds the Secretary of the Interior's standards and guidelines for archaeology, history, and historic architecture and meets the professional standards in paleontology. The team has conducted thousands of cultural and paleontological resource assessments, including survey, testing, data recovery, and construction monitoring.
The Chambers Group team has considerable experience in cultural and paleontological resources management related to archaeology (both historic and prehistoric), built environments, ethnography, and fossil remains for public and private sector clients. Chambers Group has worked throughout Riverside County and is very familiar with the types of cultural and paleontological resources within this area. In addition, our firm has had experience in coordinating directly with tribes that have interests within the Beaumont community. These tribes include but are not limited to: Cahuilla, Luiseno, Morongo, Kumeyaay, and Serrano.
Our experience includes:
• CEQA AB 52 Native American consultation and Tribal Cultural Resources • Sacred Lands file searches with the Native American Heritage Commission • Conducting small to large-scale record searches and archival research • Cultural resources inventory surveys and site assessments • Paleontological resources inventory surveys and site assessments • Mobile tablet -based survey and inventory capabilities • Historic district identification and nominations

Noise — Vista Environmental
The approach used for noise analyses typically includes identifying noise sources in the project study area, obtaining noise measurements of the existing ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project site, evaluating construction -related noise impacts at the nearby sensitive receptors through use of FHWA's Roadway Construction Noise Model (RCNM), utilizing FHWA's RD -77-108 or TNM noise models to model traffic noise increases created by the project, utilizing reference noise measurements and standard drop-off rates or the SoundPlan model to analyze noise impacts from non -transportation noise sources, and determining if any thresholds have been exceeded and, if necessary, providing mitigation to reduce impacts to less than significant levels.

and verification of all inputs utilized in the FHWA and RCNM noise models. The peer review consisted of two rounds of comments, with the second round to ensure that appropriate revisions were made after the first round of comments.
Monroe Storm Drain, Stage 4 Project, Riverside, CA
Principal. Greg prepared an air quality and greenhouse gas analysis for Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District that analyzed the removal of an exposed trapezoidal channel and construction of 2,070 feet of reinforced concrete box (RCB) channel. The air quality analysis utilized CaIEEMod to analyze the project's regional criteria pollutant and GHG emissions and SCAQMD's Mass Rate LST Look -up Tables to analyze the project's local criteria pollutant impacts from construction activities. The analysis found that less than significant air quality and GHG emissions impacts would occur from construction of the proposed project.
North Norco Channel Line NB, Stage 3 Project, City of Norco, CA Vista Environmental prepared an Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Technical Memorandum and Noise Technical Memorandum for channel improvements to an existing 1,750 -foot long channel located along the westerly extension of Gallop Way, east of Interstate 15. The air quality and GHG memo addressed each of the CEQA checklist questions for air quality and GHG emissions through calculating the project's regional construction and operational air and GHG emissions with the CaIEEMod model and utilized SCAQMD's Mass Rate LST Look -up Tables to analyze the project's local criteria pollutant impacts from construction activities. The analysis found that construction and operational activities would create less than significant air quality and GHG emissions impacts. The noise memo addressed each of the CEQA questions for noise and vibration through obtaining of noise measurements in the project vicinity to document existing conditions, utilization of the FHWA's RCNM model to analyze the noise impacts from construction activities and provided a determination if the project would comply with the local noise ordinance. No significant construction or operational noise or vibration impacts were found.
Devil's Gate Reservoir Sediment Removal and Management Project, Pasadena, CA Prepared a health risk assessment (HRA) and noise impact analysis for the removal of approximately 2.9 million cubic yards of sediment plus a maintenance plan that would include the annual removal of 13,000 cubic yards of sediment. The HRA utilized emission rates calculated from the EMFAC2011 model and AERMOD View to calculate the diesel particulate matter (DPM) concentrations from four construction alternatives and operations at the nearby sensitive receptors. No significant construction or operational health risks were found. The noise analysis utilized the FHWA's RCNM model to analyze the noise impacts from onsite construction activities and utilized the FHWA RD -77-108 model to analyze the noise impacts associated with the haul trucks on the roads to the sediment depository locations. The analysis found that a significant noise impact may occur due to the differing jurisdictions allowable construction times and the analysis provided mitigation limiting the time construction activities may occur. The analysis also found that a significant vibration impact may occur and provided mitigation that limited the type of equipment that can operate within 180 feet of an offsite structure. With incorporation of the proposed mitigation all noise and vibration impacts were reduced to less than significant levels.
