RWRF Flare Application www.scsengineers.com
1 INTRODUCTION
On behalf of the Fresno Department of Public Utilities (the City), SCS Engineers (SCS) has prepared this application for an Authority to Construct (ATC) and Permit to Operate (PTO) to increase the waste gas flaring capacity at the Fresno/Clovis Regional Wastewater Reclamation Facility (RWRF or Facility) located in Fresno, California. This application is for a modification of the RWRF, which is permitted by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (District or SJVAPCD) as Facility C-535.

BACKGROUND
The RWRF serves the wastewater needs of more than half a million people in Fresno and the surrounding area, and is located southwest of Fresno (see attached Figure 1). The Facility’s digesters produce a significant volume of digester gas (DG), some of which is utilized beneficially by burning it in one of the Facility’s hot water boiler used to heat the Facility’s digesters. Any DG that does not go to the hot water boiler is combusted in the Facility’s 1,100-standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) waste gas flare or 1,500 scfm DG flare that is intended to be used at the Facility temporarily.

In order to increase the Facility’s capacity as well as to improve the redundancy of the Facility’s DG system, the City proposes to install two new 2,000-scfm waste gas flares. The turn-down ratio of the new flares will enable operation down to a minimum capacity of 650 scfm, which will provide more flexibility to provide supplemental DG control. A Facility map, showing the location of the existing flares and the proposed location of the new flares, is attached (Figure 2).

With the SJVAPCD currently considering revisions to its flare regulation (SJVAPCD Rule 4311), the City has been in communication with the District regarding expected changes to the rule, including more stringent nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions requirements. Based on the City’s communications with the District, it is not expected that the revised Rule 4311 will be issued prior to permitting of the new flares. Nonetheless, it is the City’s intention to proactively ensure that the new flares will meet the future Rule 4311 requirements.

The revised Rule 4311 is expected to affect existing flares as well as new flares. Therefore, this application also includes a discussion of how the currently permitted RWRF flare with comply with anticipated future Rule 4311 requirements.

RWRF Flare Application www.scsengineers.com
2 PROPOSED PERMITTING ACTION
The proposed permitting action (Project) will involve permitting two new DG flares, changing the permitted operational limitations of the existing 1,100-scfm flare, and retiring the currently permitted temporary flare.

In addition, the City proposes to revise the combined NOx emission limit established for emission units 9, 22, and 44 (Flare Unit 9, a compressor engine (Unit 24), and a trash pump engine (Unit 44), respectively); PTO C-535-9-15, Condition #14. The City proposes a decrease in the current combined limit of 19,272 lbs/yr to 3,432 lbs/yr. The new limit is based on flare unit 9 low-use scenario, Unit 24 engine operation of 1,000 hours per year of, and the permitted operation of 2,160 hours per year for the Unit 44 engine. This proposed NOx limit is included in attached Table 2B (Stationary Source Post-Project Potential to Emit [SSPE2]).

A summary of Project permitting is summarized in the following tables.

Pre-Project Digester Gas Combustion Capacity
Permit Unit Description Capacity (scfm) Capacity (mmBTU/hr) Capacity (mmBTU/yr) 9-15 Waste Gas /

45-0 DG Flare 1,500 58.5 512,460
Total Capacity 2,820 102 895,798

The City will increase the DG combustion capacity by 4,000 scfm, with the addition of two 2,000- scfm flares, as previously noted. However, flare Unit 45 will be taken out of service. It was recently permitted, and was intended to be used temporarily at the facility. In addition, the City proposes to modify operation of the existing flare Unit 9. As discussed at a recent District-sponsored Rule 4311 stakeholders workshop, the District intends to set a maximum operation threshold, below which flares would be exempt from the new Rule 4311 requirements. The threshold under District consideration is 20,000 million BTU’s (MMBtu’s) per year. The City intends to limit operation of flare 9-15 accordingly. The reduction in potential emissions will be discussed in more detail in the next section of the application.

Total Capacity 5,320 177 1,253,934

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED OPERATION AND EQUIPMENT
The new flares will be installed adjacent to the existing flare, as shown on the attached Site Plan, Figure 1.

NEW FLARES
The City is currently considering flares manufactured by John Zink Hamworthy Combustion (John Zink). The model will be Zink Ultra Low Emitting (ZULE) flares, with a maximum design capacity of 2,000 scfm of DG, and a maximum heat release design of 67.7 million BTUs per hr (mmBTU/hr).

Design parameters are normalized at 62% methane, for operation with fuel ranging from a low heating value of 455 Btu per standard cubic foot (scf) to 590 Btu/scf. Technical specifications for the ZULE flare are provided in Appendix A.

Note that a final decision on the make and model of the new flares has not yet been made. Once a determination is made, the District will be notified and provide the appropriate technical specifications to the District.

As previously noted, it is expected that ultra-low NOx emission flares will be required by the Rule 4311 revisions. These flares act similarly to other low-emission flares except that they must have more complex burners and specific control of air-fuel ratios to ensure that extremely low NOx emissions are achieved on a consistent basis. The flares will require higher DG pressure than is currently generated within the facility. As such, it is anticipated that the DG will have to undergo compression prior to combustion in the flare.

Another feature of the new flares will be their ability to operate over a wide gas flow range. The flares will be required to have a turn-down range that will enable flare operation down to approximately 650 scfm. This turn-down capability will be needed to enable the flares to be used during times when almost all of the available DG is being diverted to the Facility’s boiler or to other beneficial uses. This scenario would be a typical operating scenario; while much higher gas flow to the flares would be relatively rare, e.g., during outage of the beneficial use equipment.

4 EXISTING FLARE
Based on recent communications with SJVAPCD rule-development staff, we understand that the District is considering exemption provisions for existing flares, including an exemption for small and low-use flares. While the new rule provisions are still in development, the District has indicated it is considering an exemption threshold of 20,000 mmBTU/year or 200 annual hours of operation. The Facility plans to operate the existing flare for backup/supplemental control flare, and to meet the operational thresholds specified in the revised flare rule, as noted for Permit Unit 9.

RWRF Flare Application www.scsengineers.com
5 EMISSIONS
Flaring of DG results in three categories of air pollutants: Criteria Air Pollutants (CAPs), Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs), and Greenhouse Gases (GHGs). This application will primarily address CAP emissions, but will also include brief discussions for HAPs and GHGs.

CRITERIA AIR POLLUTANTS
CAP emissions from the flare combustion of DG consists of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide (CO), NOx, sulfur oxides (SOx), and emissions of particulate matter less than 10 and 2.5 microns in diameter (PM10 and PM2.5). Note that for purposes of this application, PM10 emissions are assumed to be equivalent to PM2.5.

With the exception of VOCs, Project CAP emissions are secondary pollutants, formed during the combustion process; whereas VOCs emitted by the flares consist of trace amounts of VOCs originating in the DG that were not destroyed during combustion. Because of this distinction, and because DG flares are considered emission control devices rather than emission units, only project VOC emissions are subject to the District’s best available control technology (BACT) requirements.

BACT for this project is discussed in detail later in this application.

Pre-Project Emissions
As previously discussed, the project will consist of new emission sources, as well as modification of existing emission sources. Pre-Project potential to emit (PTE) CAP emissions (PE1) for all sources associated with the project are summarized below, including references for additional information about the emission calculations.

(equivalent to permit limits

See attached Table 2B for post-project facility-wide emissions (SSPE2).

Discussion of the District Flare Regulation (Rule 4311) The District is in the process of making revisions to its flare regulation, Rule 4311, as part of its effort to come into attainment with federal ambient air quality standards. This rulemaking process is still in the early stages; with no draft regulation yet issued. However, the City wishes, to the extent feasible, to anticipate the changes expected in the rulemaking, (based on the City’s ongoing communications with District staff and participation in stakeholder events provided by the District.

NOx Limit
The City expects that the required NOx limit for digester gas flares in the revised rule will be a maximum of 0.025 pounds per million BTUs (lb/MMBtu). As such, the City is proposing emissions based on the 0.025 lb/MMBtu NOx limit.

Rule 4311 Exemption
The City understands that the District expects to eventually make existing flares subject to the lower NOx limit, but is considering setting criteria for low-use flares or emergency back-up flares to be exempted from the expected lower NOx limit. SCS and the City understands that a low-use exemption under District consideration is an operational limit of 20,000 MMBtu/yr. The City is proposing to modify operation of flare unit 9 to be as a low-use or emergency back-up flare, and expects to satisfy

RWRF Flare Application www.scsengineers.com
7 whatever low-use thresholds of emergency back-up criteria established in the revised rule. For this application, post-project emissions from the existing flare have been calculated by assuming a maximum of 20,000 MMBtu/yr of operation, and are presented in attached Table 4B.

NOx Emissions and Concentration of Ammonia in Digester Gas More ammonia in the DG will result in higher NOx emissions; and it is expected that higher ammonia DG conditions could occur if the City increases the amount of anaerobically digestible material accepted into their anaerobic digesters or changes the operation of the anaerobic digestion process.

As such, the City is proposing that the NOx limit for the new flares be contingent upon the concentration of ammonia in the DG. The City proposes to define the threshold for compliance with the NOx limit at an ammonia concentration of 5 parts per million by volume (ppmv) in the DG going to the flares. In order to monitor the ammonia concentration, the City proposes testing for ammonia content on an annual basis within 24 hours of the annual NOx testing. Based on the current operating conditions, the DG ammonia concentration is expected to be less than the 5 ppmv threshold at all times.

One reason for compliance for NOx being contingent upon the presence of ammonia in the DG is feedback obtained from the City’s likely flare manufacturer for the project (John Zink) which has stated that it will not guarantee performance for NOx of less than 0.025 lb/MMBtu with detectable ammonia in the DG feed.

At this time the City does not anticipate elevated ammonia in the DG, and expects that compliance with the proposed NOx limit will be consistently achieved. However, if ammonia levels increase above the proposed 5 ppm limit, the NOx limit may need to be reevaluated, and the flare permit possibly revised.

NOx PTE has been calculated based on the assumption of low ammonia concentration (see attached Table 3).

Post-Project PTE CAP emissions (PE2) for all sources associated with the project are summarized below, including references for additional information about the emission calculations.

Facility-Wide Emissions
Stationary Source CAP Permitted Emissions (for all facility permitted emission units) have been compiled, for both pre-Project (SSPE1) and post-Project (SSPE2), and presented in attached Tables 2A and 2B, respectively.

HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANTS
HAP emissions have been calculated for the Project. Emission factors used to calculate emissions of individual HAPs are from Table B-7 (Pg 20) of the Default EF for Digester Gas Combustion in the December 2016 South Coast Air Quality Management District document, Supplemental Instructions Reporting Procedures for AB2588 Facilities for Reporting their Quadrennial Air Toxics Emissions Inventory Annual Emissions Reporting Program. Calculations are presented on attached Tables 5A and 5B, for pre- and post-Project operating scenarios, respectively, which indicate that pre- and post- Project HAP emissions are approximately equal.

For the previous permitting, which included permitting of DG flare emissions, the District conducted a health risk assessment because the facility’s prioritization score at that time was greater than one.

As described in the District’s Application Review document (Project # C-1170082 & C-1170245, dated January 9, 2019) in the California Health & Safety Code 41700 Section, the District determined that HAP emission increases for that project were less than all three of the District’s significance levels (acute or chronic indices of 1 and a cancer risk of 20 in a million. Note that the cancer risk was also determined to be less than 1 in a million, for that permitting, and as such, toxics best available control technology (TBACT) requirements were not triggered.

The City assumes that the District will again be required to conduct an HRA for this project. Because net HAP emissions for this Project are negligible, the City anticipates that increased HAP emissions from this project will again be found to not pose a significant health risk.

GREENHOUSE GASES
GHGs for the Project have been calculated for this application, and are presented in attached Table

6. Net Project GHGs are approximately 20,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions.

However, only anthropogenic GHGs are regulated pollutants; therefore, methane and nitrous oxide

RWRF Flare Application www.scsengineers.com
9 emissions, but not CO2 emissions, are regulated. Regulated Project GHG emissions total just 101 tons of CO2e.

GHGs were briefly addressed in the District’s previous permitting for the facility. For that permitting action, the District stated in the January 2019 Application Review document cited in the previous Section, that the project will not result in an increase in project-specific GHG emissions. The District concluded that the project would have a less then cumulatively significant impact on global climate change.

The City assumes that the small amount of Project GHG emissions for this permitting action will also be deemed to have a less than significant impact on global climate change.

REGULATORY DISCUSSION
The following SJVAPCD, state, and federal rules and regulations are applicable to this permitting.

Explanation is provided to illustrate how the proposed project will comply with each potentially applicable requirement.

PROHIBITORY RULES
Rule 4101 Visible Emissions
No visible emissions are typically expected from normal DG flare operations.

Rule 4102 Nuisance
Public nuisance conditions are not expected from the proposed operations. In addition, compliance is assured by the following condition in the facility’s PTO C-535-0-3:

No air contaminant shall be released into the atmosphere, which causes a public nuisance.

Rule 4201 Particulate Matter Emission Rate
No PM emissions that would violate Rule 4201 are expected under typical DG flare operating conditions.

Rule 4311 Flares
This regulation limits VOC, NOx, and SOx emissions from flares. The currently permitted facility DG flares are required to comply with the requirements of this rule, including emission limitations, monitoring, testing, and recordkeeping. Compliance is assured by various conditions included in the flare permits. It is expected that similar conditions will be included by the District in the ATCs that will be issued for the project’s two new flares and the modification of the existing flare, to ensure compliance for these flares with Rule 4311. The proposed VOC and NOx emission factors comply with the current rule; furthermore, as previously discussed, this application is intended to ensure that the flares will also be in compliance with the lower NOx emission limitations to be included in the revised rule, which the District expects to issue in the near future.

RWRF Flare Application www.scsengineers.com
10 Rule 4801 Sulfur Compounds
This regulation prohibits discharge into the atmosphere of sulfur compounds at concentrations exceeding 0.2 % by volume as SO2. This limit is equivalent to 2,000 ppmv. For the new project flares an emission rate of 0.0614 lb-SOx /MMBtu (calculated emission rate associated with a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentration of 200 parts per million by volume (ppmv) in the DG). As detailed in the January 2019 Application Review for Project # C-1170082 & C-1170245, this emission rate is equivalent to a SO2 flare exhaust rate of just 38.5 ppmv. Therefore, the proposed flare PTE SOx emissions satisfies this regulation.

RULE 2201 NEW AND MODIFIED STATIONARY SOURCE REVIEW
RULE
The proposed permitting action involves modification of stationary sources that result in an increase in emissions of one or more pollutants; therefore, it is subject to new source review pursuant to District Rule 2201.

The requirements under Rule 2201 that are potentially applicable to the proposed project include the following:
 Section 3.18 of Rule 2201 (Federal Major Modification)  Section 3.24 of Rule 2201 (Major Source)
 Section 3.36 of Rule 2201 (SB288 Major Modification)
 Section 4.1 of Rule 2201 (Best Available Control Technology)  Section 4.5 of Rule 2201 (Emission Offset Requirements)  Section 5.4 of Rule 2201 (Public Notification Requirements) Major Source Determination (Rule Section 3.24)
The Facility is considered a Major Source for NOx. See attached Table 2C.

Federal Major Modification (Rule Section 3.18)
The Facility is a Major Source for NOx. Modifications are considered major if Project emissions (SSIPE) are significant for pollutants for which the Facility is major. For NOx, the significance threshold is 0 (zero) lbs/yr, per Rule 2201 Table 3-1; however, SSIPE for NOx is less than zero.

Therefore, Project NOx emissions do not exceed the significance threshold, and the Project is not considered a Federal Major Modification for NOx. See attached Table 2E. Federal Major Modifications are subject to offsets for any pollutants triggering Federal Major Modification status; therefore, offsets are not triggered by Federal Major Modification requirements. However, NOx does trigger offset requirements due to the NOx SSPE1 exceeding the offsets threshold, as discussed in application Section 6.2.6. Therefore NOx offsets have been estimated (see attached Table 2H) and will be provided as required for this permitting action.

Additional Requirements for Federal Major Modification
(Rule Section 4.15)
Because the Project is not a Federal Major Modification, additional requirements specified in Rule Section 4.15 are not applicable to the Project.

RWRF Flare Application www.scsengineers.com
11 SB 288 Major Modification (Rule Section 3.36)
The Facility is a Major Source for NOx and CO. A project is considered an SB 288 Major Modification if Project emissions (SSIPE) are above the respective thresholds, per Rule 2201 Table 3-5, for any pollutant for which the Facility is major. There is no such threshold established for CO. For NOx, Project emissions are below the SB 288 threshold. Therefore, the Project is not considered an SB 288 Major Modification. See attached Table 2D.

BACT (Rule Section 4.1)
Section 4.1 of Rule 2201 requires the use of the Best Available Control Technology (BACT) for the control of CAP emissions from any new or modified emission unit, which has an increase in PTE emissions exceeding 2 pounds in any one day (lb/day). In accordance with District definitions, an emissions control device is not an emission unit. As such, any emissions associated with a control device are not subject to BACT. NOX, CO, SOx, and PM are all secondary pollutants, resulting directly from the combustion of the DG in the flare; and are therefore, not subject to BACT.

VOCs are components of the fuel (DG), and VOC emissions from the flare are trace quantities of those VOCs that were not destroyed during combustion (typically less than 2 percent of the total VOCs in the DG). VOC emissions from flares are, therefore, subject to BACT. As shown on attached Table 3, each flare has a PTE for VOCs of more than 2 lb/day; therefore, the new flares are subject to BACT for VOCs.

In the District’s January 9, 2019 Application Review document for Project # C-1170082 & C- 1170245, it was stated that flare unit 45 met BACT requirements for VOC, per District BACT guideline 1.4.4 B. That document also indicated that flare emissions were based on a 98% destruction efficiency for VOCs. The flare’s permit includes a VOC limit of 0.0027 lb/MMBtu. For this application, the same emission factor, 0.0027 lb/MMBtu is proposed and a 98% destruction efficiency is assumed, for the new flare. Therefore, the new flares should satisfy BACT for VOCs.

Emission Offset Requirements (Rule Section 4.5)
Per Section 4.5, emission offsets are triggered for NOx and SOx emissions. Amounts requiring offsetting as well as total offsets required have been estimated. See attached Tables 2G and 2H.

For both NOx and SOx, SSPE1 exceeded the offsets threshold; therefore, the total increase in emissions is required to be offset. For NOx, because the facility is major for NOx, the increase is calculated using HAE as the baseline; for SOX, which is not a major pollutant, PE1 emissions are used as baseline emissions. A distance multiplier of 1.5 was conservatively assumed; however, the appropriate multiplier must be determined when the emission reduction credits (ERCs) locations are known.

The City understands that any required ERCs must be provided to the District before an ATC can be issued.

Public Notification Requirements (Rule Section 5.4
The Project triggers public notification requirements because Project emissions (SSIPE) of SOx exceed 20,000 lbs/yr. See attached Table 2I for details.

RWRF Flare Application www.scsengineers.com
12 OTHER PERMITTING RULES
Rule 2410 Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) As shown on attached Table 2F, this project does not result in a new PSD major source; therefore, this project is not subject to the requirements of Rule 2410 Rule 2520 Federally Mandated Operating Permits
The Facility is subject to this rule, and has a Title V Operating Permit. It is the City’s understanding that this permitting action is considered a Minor Modification to the Title V Permit. The City has indicated on the attached ATC/PTO application form that a Certificate of Conformity (COC) is requested; and as such, the application review process will include the required 45-day review by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The City further understands that, upon receiving from the District an ATC for this permitting, the City will be required to submit a Title V form for an administrative amendment to its Title V Permit prior to commencing the construction/operation authorized by the ATC.

CALIFORNIA HEALTH & SAFETY CODE 41700
The SJVAPCD Risk Management Policy for Permitting New and Modified Sources (APR-1905) specifies if an increase in emissions is associated with a proposed new source or modification, the District is required to perform an analysis to determine the possible impact to the nearest resident or worksite. If the District determines a total facility prioritization score of greater than one, a health risk assessment (HRA) will be required in order to determine if T-BACT must be applied to the project.

As previously discussed, in Section 5.2, the District determined for a recent permitting action, that the facility had a prioritization score of greater than one. As such, the City expects that an HRA will be required for this project. Based on HAP emission calculations, Pre- and Post-Project HAP emissions are approximately equal (see attached Tables 5A and 5B). With no significant net increase in HAPs, the City anticipates that the Project will not pose a significant health risk.

13 CEQA
The City of Fresno intends to request a determination that this Project is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review. A copy of the Notice of Exemption (NOE) will be provided to the District upon issuance. The City understands that the District cannot issue a permit for the Project until it receives documentation that CEQA requirements have been satisfied.

APPLICATION FORMS AND PERMIT APPLICATION FEES
District Forms
A SJVAPCD Authority to Construct/Permit to Operate Application Form and three Flare forms, one for each new flare and one modified operation of the existing flare, have been completed and are provided in Appendix B.

District Fees
This permitting is subject to a filing fee of $87 for each permit unit. Permitting of two new emission units and modification of one existing emission unit is proposed in this application. As such, Title V fees totaling $261 is required. The City will provide payment of application fees directly to the District.

Title V Forms
 The following Title V Forms have been completed and are provided in Appendix C:
 Application for Title V Modification Form (TVFORM-008)  Title V Modification – Compliance Certification Form (TVFORM-009) Title V Fees
A nonrefundable fee of $23 per emission unit is required. Permitting of two new emission units and modification of one existing emission unit is proposed in this application. As such, Title V fees totaling $69 is required. The City will provide payment of application fees directly to the District.

The City understands that an application evaluation fee, based on staff hours required for the application evaluation, will also be required to be paid prior to the District’s issuance of modified an ATC for this Project.

The City requests that an invoice for filing fees as well as subsequent application evaluation fees be emailed or mailed to the City contact listed below. Mr. Arthur also requests that he be copied on all communications associated with this application.

Re: City of Fresno Waste Gas Flare Project – 185705162, Fresno County Dear Ms. Mahoney:

A record search of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File (SLF) was completed for the information you have submitted for the above referenced project. The results were negative. However, the absence of specific site information in the SLF does not indicate the absence of cultural resources in any project area. Other sources of cultural resources should also be contacted for information regarding known and recorded sites.

Attached is a list of Native American tribes who may also have knowledge of cultural resources in the project area. This list s
hould provide a starting place in locating areas of potential adverse impact within the proposed project area. I suggest you contact all of those indicated; if they cannot supply information, they might recommend others with specific knowledge. By contacting all those listed, your organization will be better able to respond to claims of failure to consult with the appropriate tribe. If a response has not been received within two weeks of notification, the Commission requests that you follow-up with a telephone call or email to ensure that the project information has been received.

If you receive notification of change of addresses and phone numbers from tribes, please notify me. With your assistance, w
e can assure that our lists contain current information.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at my email address: [email protected].

Sincerely,
Nancy Gonzalez-Lopez
Cultural Resources Analyst

Dear Elizabeth D. Kipp
Reference: Invitation to Provide Comments and Information Regarding the City of Fresno Regional Wastewater Reclamation Facility Waste Gas Flare Project ISMND.

On behalf of the City of Fresno Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (Stantec) is conducting cultural resources investigations for the Wastewater Reclamation Facility Waste Gas Flare project (Figure 1). Stantec requested a search of the sacred lands file by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) as part of the cultural resources’ investigations for the project. The NAHC reported that the lands file search was negative and identified the Big Sandy Rancheria of Western Mono Indians on a list of Native American contacts for the project area.

The City will be constructing and operating a new low emissions flare on 0.13-acre of land area adjacent within the existing facility. The existing waste gas flare will be retained to provide redundant backup capabilities to meet operational needs. The proposed new low emissions flares will be constructed adjacent to the existing flare unit. The new waste gas flares will be sized and operated to burn all excess waste gas to a 99 percent destruct coefficient and will meet or exceed permit requirements established by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, There will be minimal ground disturbance associated with this project.

On behalf of the City of Fresno, Stantec is soliciting comments and/or information regarding the project site from the Tribe.

Any information that you can provide regarding traditional cultural properties, values, or other cultural resources within the project area will assist the cultural resources inventory process and facilitate protection of any sensitive resources. Information received in response to this letter will be kept confidential and will not be made available to the public.

Please provide any questions, comments, or information to Stantec Alisa Reynolds, Principle, Cultural Resources. Responses may be made by phone at (650) 678-3239 or email at [email protected]
