“Provide a safe and reliable transportation network that serves all people and respects the environment” In addition to identifying substantive City-lead projects that make it safer for people to walk, bike, or take transit, the VMT Mitigation Program should establish clear and simple guidelines to avoid building car-centric infrastructure in the first place. Such as:
• Eliminating car parking requirements, as research looking at the relationship between land-use, parking, and transportation indicates that car parking prioritizes driving above all other travel modes and undermines a community’s ability to choose public transit and active modes of transportation.
• Requiring wide sidewalks, street trees, curb extensions, shaded transit shelters, and pedestrian scale street furniture and lighting on all street facing edges and corners of new or significantly renovated land-use projects.
Caltrans looks forward to reviewing the forthcoming Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR), and our Transportation Planners are also available to discuss or provide any assistance that might be needed while developing this VMT Mitigation Program.
If you have any questions, please contact project coordinator Anthony Higgins, at [email protected] and refer to GTS# 07-LA-2021-03703.

Subject: Notice of Preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Vehicle Miles Traveled Mitigation Program, SCH #2021090175, City of Lancaster, Los Angeles County
Dear Ms. Swain:
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has reviewed the Notice of Preparation (NOP) of a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) from the City of Lancaster (City; Lead Agency) for the Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Program (Project). Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments and recommendations regarding those activities involved in the Project that may affect California fish and wildlife. Likewise, we appreciate the opportunity to provide comments regarding those aspects of the Project that CDFW, by law, may be required to carry out or approve through the exercise of its own regulatory authority under the Fish and Game Code.
CDFW’s Role
CDFW is California’s Trustee Agency for fish and wildlife resources and holds those resources in trust by statute for all the people of the State [Fish & G. Code, §§ 711.7, subdivision (a) & 1802; Pub. Resources Code, § 21070; California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, § 15386, subdivision (a)]. CDFW, in its trustee capacity, has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife, native plants, and habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of those species (Id., § 1802). Similarly, for purposes of CEQA, CDFW is charged by law to provide, as available, biological expertise during public agency environmental review efforts, focusing specifically on projects and related activities that have the potential to adversely affect State fish and wildlife resources.
CDFW is also submitting comments as a Responsible Agency under CEQA (Pub. Resources Code, § 21069; CEQA Guidelines, § 15381). CDFW expects that it may need to exercise regulatory authority as provided by the Fish and Game Code, including lake and streambed alteration regulatory authority (Fish & G. Code, § 1600 et seq.). Likewise, to the extent implementation of the Project as proposed may result in “take”, as defined by State law, of any species protected under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) (Fish & G. Code, § 2050 et seq.), or CESA-listed rare plant pursuant to the Native Plant Protection Act (NPPA; Fish & G. Code, §1900 et seq.), CDFW recommends the Project proponent obtain appropriate authorization under the Fish and Game Code.

Project Description and Summary
Objective: The City is proposing to adopt an ordinance that establishes a VMT Mitigation Program with the intent to reduce Citywide VMT. The VMT Mitigation Program would identify relevant transportation demand management strategies and VMT-reducing projects within the City. These strategies and projects will be funded by future developments that trigger potentially significant VMT impacts under CEQA. Potential VMT-reducing measures may include providing pedestrian/bicycle network improvements, traffic calming infrastructure, improved street connectivity, and City-run programs to incentivize use of alternative travel modes.
Location: The Project location is the entire City of Lancaster. The City is located in the southern region of the Antelope Valley, approximately 60 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles along State Highway 14.
Comments and Recommendations
CDFW offers the comments and recommendations below to assist the City in adequately identifying, avoiding, and/or mitigating the Project’s significant, or potentially significant, direct, and indirect impacts on fish and wildlife (biological) resources.
Specific Comments
1) Joshua tree. Joshua trees (Yucca brevifolia) are known to occur on vacant land within the City. Joshua tree is a CESA-listed candidate species. As a CESA-listed candidate species, western Joshua tree is granted full protection of a threatened species under CESA.
Activities related to infrastructure development may directly remove habitats or indirectly cause added pressures to the habitats in which these species reside, leading to further species decline. Any project activities that involve grading or vegetation removal would likely result in “take” or adverse impacts to western Joshua tree, its seed bank, and its sole pollinator, the Joshua tree yucca moth (Tegeticula synthetica).
CDFW primarily recommends the City avoid impacts to western Joshua tree to the greatest extent feasible. If “take” or adverse impacts to western Joshua trees cannot be avoided during any project activities or over the life of the Project, the City should apply for a CESA Incidental Take Permit (ITP), pursuant to Fish and Game Code section 2080 et seq. Early consultation is encouraged, as significant modification to a Project and mitigation measures may be required to obtain a CESA Permit. The City should consult with CDFW to obtain additional Joshua tree survey requirements. CDFW may require separate CEQA documentation for the issuance of an ITP unless the Project CEQA document addresses all Project impacts to CESA-listed species and specifies a mitigation monitoring and reporting program that will meet the requirements of an ITP. For these reasons, biological mitigation monitoring and reporting proposals should be of sufficient detail and resolution to satisfy the requirements for a CESA ITP.
2) Additional CESA- and Endangered Species Act (ESA)-Covered Species. The City and its surrounding vicinity support CESA- and ESA-listed species. Activities related to infrastructure development may directly remove habitats or indirectly cause added pressures to the habitats in which these species reside, leading to further species decline. CDFW recommends the DEIR discuss the Project’s potential impacts on the following species and DocuSign Envelope ID: 126292A2-D70A-428B-90A4-7A79BB4D08D7 Jocelyn Swain
City of Lancaster
October 6, 2021
associated habitat: tricolored blackbird (Agelaius tricolor), Swainson’s hawk (Buteo swainsoni), and Mohave ground squirrel (Xerspermophilus mohavensis) that are CESAlisted; and least Bell’s vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus) that is ESA- and CESA-listed.
CDFW considers adverse impacts to a species protected by CESA to be significant without mitigation under CEQA. As to CESA, take of any endangered, threatened, candidate species, or CESA-listed plant species that results from the Project is prohibited, except as authorized by State law (Fish & G. Code §§ 2080, 2085; Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, §786.9).
Consequently, if the Project or any Project-related activity during the life of the Project will result in take of a species designated as endangered or threatened, or a candidate for listing under CESA, CDFW recommends that the Project proponent seek appropriate take authorization under CESA prior to implementing the Project. Appropriate authorization from CDFW may include an ITP or a consistency determination in certain circumstances Please refer to Specific Comment #1 regarding consultation with CDFW on ITPs. 3) Species of Special Concern. The City and its surrounding vicinity also support Species of Special Concern. Activities related to infrastructure development may directly remove habitats or indirectly cause added pressures to the habitats in which these species reside, leading to further species decline. CDFW recommends the DEIR discuss the Project’s potential impacts on the following species and associated habitat: California legless lizard (Anniella pulchra), California glossy snake (Arizona elegans occidentalis), burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia), mountain plover (Charadrius montanus), western pond turtle (Emys marmorata), loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus), coast horned lizard (Phrynosoma blainvillii), two-striped garter snake (Thamnophis hammondii), and Le Conte’s thrasher (Toxostoma lecontei).
4) Crotch’s Bumble Bee. The City and its surrounding vicinity also support Crotch’s bumble bee (Bombus crotchii). Project activities related to infrastructure development will involve ground disturbing activities in occupied habitat, which may result in loss of foraging habitat, crushing or filling of active bee colonies, causing the death or injury of adults, eggs, and larvae.
Crotch’s bumble bee has a State ranking of S1/S2. This means that the Crotch’s bumble bee is considered critically imperiled or imperiled and is extremely rare (often 5 or fewer populations). Also, Crotch’s bumble bee has a very restricted range and steep population declines make the species vulnerable to extirpation from the State (CDFW 2017).
Accordingly, Crotch’s bumble bee meets the CEQA definition of rare, threatened, or endangered species (CEQA Guidelines, § 15380). Therefore, take of Crotch’s bumble bee could require a mandatory finding of significance by the City (CEQA Guidelines, § 15065).
The Project’s associated infrastructure development activities have the potential to substantially reduce or adversely modify habitat, impair the viability of populations, and reduce the number and range of the Crotch’s bumble bee. CDFW recommends the DEIR discuss the Project’s potential impacts on the Crotch’s bumble bee and associated habitat. 5) Biologically Significant Sites Inventory. CDFW recommends the City identify and prepare a map of the following areas if present within or adjacent to the City boundary. In addition, the City should consider the Project’s potential impacts on the following areas if present within or adjacent to the Project boundary:
DocuSign Envelope ID: 126292A2-D70A-428B-90A4-7A79BB4D08D7 Jocelyn Swain
City of Lancaster

a) Conservation easements or mitigation lands;
b) U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Threatened & Endangered Species Active Critical Habitat (USFWS 2020);
c) County of Los Angeles Significant Ecological Areas (SEAs); d) Wildlife corridors;
e) Sensitive Natural Communities [see General Comment #3 (Biological Baseline Assessment)];
f) Aquatic and riparian resources including (but not limited to) rivers, channels, streams, wetlands, and vernal pools, and associated natural plant communities; and, g) City parks and open space, particularly areas with undeveloped land.
CDFW recommends the City avoid sites that may have a direct or indirect impact on conservation easements or lands set aside as mitigation. CDFW recommends the DEIR include measures where future infrastructure facilitated by the Project mitigate (avoid if feasible) for impacts on biological resources occurring within SEAs and critical habitat, as well as mitigate for impacts on wildlife corridors, sensitive natural communities, aquatic and riparian resources, and urban forests.
6) Development and Conservation. CDFW recommends the City maximize development where it already exists in order to protect natural lands from development and habitat loss. CDFW recommends the City consider regional and State-wide natural resource conservation strategies outlined in the following reports: Safeguarding California Plan: 2018 Update (CNRA 2018); California State Wildlife Action Plan: A Conservation Legacy for Californians (CDFW 2015); and, California 2030 Natural and Working Lands Climate Change Implementation Plan: January 2019 Draft (CalEPA et al. 2019). 7) Jurisdictional Waters. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory, there are multiple segments of streams, such as Little Rock Wash, running throughout the City (USFWS 2021). As a Responsible Agency under CEQA, CDFW has authority over activities in streams and/or lakes that will divert or obstruct the natural flow, or change the bed, channel, or bank (including vegetation associated with the stream or lake) of a river or stream, or use material from a streambed. For any such activities, the Project applicant (or “entity”) must provide written notification to CDFW pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 1600 et seq.
a) CDFW’s issuance of a Lake and Streambed Alteration (LSA) Agreement for a project that is subject to CEQA will require CEQA compliance actions by CDFW as a Responsible Agency. As a Responsible Agency, CDFW may consider the environmental document of the local jurisdiction (Lead Agency) for the Project. To minimize additional requirements by CDFW pursuant to section 1600 et seq. and/or under CEQA, the environmental document should fully identify the potential impacts to the stream or riparian resources and provide adequate avoidance, mitigation, monitoring and reporting commitments for issuance of the LSA Agreement. Please visit CDFW’s Lake and Streambed Alteration Program webpage for information about LSA Notification (CDFW 2021f).
b) In the event the Project area may support aquatic, riparian, and wetland habitats; a preliminary delineation of the streams and their associated riparian habitats should be included in the environmental document. The delineation should be conducted pursuant DocuSign Envelope ID: 126292A2-D70A-428B-90A4-7A79BB4D08D7 Jocelyn Swain
City of Lancaster
October 6, 2021
to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) wetland definition adopted by CDFW (Cowardin et al. 1970). Be advised that some wetland and riparian habitats subject to CDFW’s authority may extend beyond the jurisdictional limits of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Section 404 permit and Regional Water Quality Control Board Section 401 Certification.
c) In project areas which may support ephemeral or episodic streams, herbaceous vegetation, woody vegetation, and woodlands also serve to protect the integrity of these resources and help maintain natural sedimentation processes; therefore, CDFW recommends effective setbacks be established to maintain appropriately sized vegetated buffer areas adjoining ephemeral drainages.
d) Project-related changes in upstream and downstream drainage patterns, runoff, and sedimentation should be included and evaluated in the environmental document. e) As part of the LSA Notification process, CDFW requests a hydrological evaluation of the 100, 50, 25, 10, 5, and 2-year frequency storm event for existing and proposed conditions. CDFW recommends the environmental document evaluate the results and address avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation measures that may be necessary to reduce potential significant impacts.
8) Wetland Resources. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory, there are a number of wetland sites throughout the City (USFWS 2021).
CDFW, as described in Fish and Game Code section 703(a), is guided by the Fish and Game Commission’s (Commission) policies. The Wetlands Resources policy the Commission “…seek[s] to provide for the protection, preservation, restoration, enhancement and expansion of wetland habitat in California. Further, it is the policy of the Fish and Game Commission to strongly discourage development in or conversion of wetlands. It opposes, consistent with its legal authority, any development or conversion that would result in a reduction of wetland acreage or wetland habitat values. To that end, the Commission opposes wetland development proposals unless, at a minimum, project mitigation assures there will be ‘no net loss’ of either wetland habitat values or acreage. The Commission strongly prefers mitigation which would achieve expansion of wetland acreage and enhancement of wetland habitat values” (CFGC 2005).
a) The Wetlands Resources policy provides a framework for maintaining wetland resources and establishes mitigation guidance. CDFW encourages avoidance of wetland resources as a primary mitigation measure and discourages the development or type conversion of wetlands to uplands. These wetlands include, but are not limited to, those along Amargosa Creek and Little Rock Wash. CDFW encourages activities that would avoid the reduction of wetland acreage, function, or habitat values. Once avoidance and minimization measures have been exhausted, a project must include mitigation measures to assure a “no net loss” of either wetland habitat values, or acreage, for unavoidable impacts to wetland resources. Conversions include, but are not limited to, conversion to subsurface drains, placement of fill or building of structures within the wetland, and channelization or removal of materials from the streambed. All wetlands and watercourses, whether ephemeral, intermittent, or perennial, should be retained and provided with substantial setbacks, which preserve the riparian and aquatic values and functions for the benefit to on-site and off-site wildlife populations. CDFW recommends DocuSign Envelope ID: 126292A2-D70A-428B-90A4-7A79BB4D08D7 Jocelyn Swain
City of Lancaster
October 6, 2021
mitigation measures to compensate for unavoidable impacts be included in an environmental document and these measures should compensate for the loss of function and value.
b) The Fish and Game Commission’s Water policy guides CDFW on the quantity and quality of the waters of this State that should be apportioned and maintained respectively so as to produce and sustain maximum numbers of fish and wildlife; to provide maximum protection and enhancement of fish and wildlife and their habitat; encourage and support programs to maintain or restore a high quality of the waters of this State; prevent the degradation thereof caused by pollution and contamination; and, endeavor to keep as much water as possible open and accessible to the public for the use and enjoyment of fish and wildlife (CFGC 1994). CDFW recommends avoidance of water practices and structures that use excessive amounts of water, and minimization of impacts that negatively affect water quality, to the extent feasible (Fish & G. Code, § 5650).
9) Nesting Birds. CDFW recommends the DEIR include measures where future development facilitated by the Project avoids potential impacts to nesting birds. These avoidance measure should especially consider any development that may occur adjacent to parks, such as Lancaster City Park and Rawley Duntley Park, and open space. Project activities occurring during the bird and raptor breeding and nesting season could result in the incidental loss of fertile eggs or nestlings, or otherwise lead to nest abandonment. a) Migratory nongame native bird species are protected by international treaty under the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918 (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 50, § 10.13). Sections 3503, 3503.5, and 3513 of the California Fish and Game Code prohibit take of all birds and their active nests including raptors and other migratory nongame birds (as listed under the Federal MBTA). It is unlawful to take, possess, or needlessly destroy the nest or eggs of any raptor.
b) CDFW recommends that measures be taken to fully avoid impacts to nesting birds and raptors. Ground-disturbing activities (e.g., mobilizing, staging, drilling, and excavating) and vegetation removal should occur outside of the avian breeding season which generally runs from February 15 through September 15 (as early as January 1 for some raptors) to avoid take of birds, raptors, or their eggs. c) CDFW recommends the DEIR analyze and discuss the Project’s impacts on bird and raptor nesting and breeding habitat. Edge effects should also be analyzed and discussed. CDFW recommends the DEIR disclose the amount of bird and raptor nesting and breeding habitat that would be impacted and lost as a result of the proposed Project. d) If impacts to nesting birds and raptors cannot be avoided, CDFW recommends the DEIR include measures where future development facilitated by the Project mitigates for impacts. CDFW recommends surveys by a qualified biologist with experience conducting breeding bird and raptor surveys. Surveys are needed to detect protected native birds and raptors occurring in suitable nesting habitat that may be disturbed and any other such habitat within 300 feet of the Project disturbance area, to the extent allowable and accessible. For raptors, this radius should be expanded to 500 feet and 0.5 mile for special status species, if feasible. Project personnel, including all contractors working on DocuSign Envelope ID: 126292A2-D70A-428B-90A4-7A79BB4D08D7 Jocelyn Swain
City of Lancaster

site, should be instructed on the sensitivity of the area. Reductions in the nest buffer distance may be appropriate depending on the avian species involved, ambient levels of human activity, screening vegetation, or possibly other factors. e) CDFW recommends the DEIR provide measures to mitigate for impacts on bird and raptor nesting and breeding habitat. Depending on the status of the bird or raptor species impacted, replacement habitat acres should increase with the occurrence of a Species of Special Concern. Replacement habitat acres should further increase with the occurrence of a CESA-listed threatened or endangered species.
General Comments
1) Disclosure. An environmental document should provide an adequate, complete, and detailed disclosure about the effect which a proposed project is likely to have on the environment (Pub. Resources Code, § 20161; CEQA Guidelines, §15151). Adequate disclosure is necessary so CDFW may provide comments on the adequacy of proposed avoidance, minimization, or mitigation measures, as well as to assess the significance of the specific impact relative to the species (e.g., current range, distribution, population trends, and connectivity).
2) Mitigation Measures. Public agencies have a duty under CEQA to prevent significant, avoidable damage to the environment by requiring changes in projects through the use of feasible alternatives or mitigation measures [CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15002(a)(3), 15021].
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15126.4, an environmental document shall describe feasible measures which could mitigate for impacts below a significant level under CEQA. a) Level of Detail. Mitigation measures must be feasible, effective, implemented, and fully enforceable/imposed by the lead agency through permit conditions, agreements, or other legally binding instruments (Pub. Resources Code, § 21081.6(b); CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15126.4, 15041). A public agency shall provide the measures that are fully enforceable through permit conditions, agreements, or other measures (Pub.
Resources Code, § 21081.6). CDFW recommends that the City prepare mitigation measures that are specific, detailed (i.e., responsible party, timing, specific actions, location), and clear in order for a measure to be fully enforceable and implemented successfully via a mitigation monitoring and/or reporting program (CEQA Guidelines, § 15097; Pub. Resources Code, § 21081.6). Adequate disclosure is necessary so CDFW may provide comments on the adequacy and feasibility of proposed mitigation measures.
b) Disclosure of Impacts. If a proposed mitigation measure would cause one or more significant effects, in addition to impacts caused by the Project as proposed, the environmental document should include a discussion of the effects of proposed mitigation measures [CEQA Guidelines, § 15126.4(a)(1)]. In that regard, the environmental document should provide an adequate, complete, and detailed disclosure about a project’s proposed mitigation measure(s). Adequate disclosure is necessary so CDFW may assess the potential impacts of proposed mitigation measures.

3) Biological Baseline Assessment. An adequate biological resources assessment should provide a complete assessment and impact analysis of the flora and fauna within and adjacent to a Project site and where a Project may result in ground disturbance. The assessment and analysis should place emphasis upon identifying endangered, threatened, sensitive, regionally, and locally unique species, and sensitive habitats. Impact analysis will aid in determining any direct, indirect, and cumulative biological impacts, as well as specific mitigation or avoidance measures necessary to offset those impacts. CDFW recommends avoiding any sensitive natural communities found on or adjacent to a Project. CDFW also considers impacts to Species of Special Concern a significant direct and cumulative adverse effect without implementing appropriate avoid and/or mitigation measures. A Project-level environmental document should include the following information:
a) Information on the regional setting that is critical to an assessment of environmental impacts, with special emphasis on resources that are rare or unique to the region [CEQA Guidelines, § 15125(c)]. An environmental document should include measures to fully avoid and otherwise protect Sensitive Natural Communities from Project-related impacts.
CDFW considers these communities as threatened habitats having both regional and local significance. Plant communities, alliances, and associations with a state-wide ranking of S1, S2, S3 and S4 should be considered sensitive and declining at the local and regional level. These ranks can be obtained by visiting Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program - Natural Communities webpage (CDFWa 2021); b) A thorough, recent, floristic-based assessment of special status plants and natural communities following CDFW's Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating Impacts to Special Status Native Plant Populations and Sensitive Natural Communities (CDFW 2018). Adjoining habitat areas should be included where Project construction and activities could lead to direct or indirect impacts off site; c) Floristic, alliance- and/or association-based mapping and vegetation impact assessments conducted at a Project site and within the neighboring vicinity. The Manual of California Vegetation (MCV), second edition, should also be used to inform this mapping and assessment (Sawyer et al. 2009). Adjoining habitat areas should be included in this assessment where Project activities could lead to direct or indirect impacts off site. Habitat mapping at the alliance level will help establish baseline vegetation conditions;
d) A complete, recent, assessment of the biological resources associated with each habitat type on site and within adjacent areas that could also be affected by a Project. CDFW’s California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) in Sacramento should be contacted to obtain current information on any previously reported sensitive species and habitat (CDFWb 2021). An assessment should include a nine-quadrangle search of the CNDDB to determine a list of species potentially present at a Project site. A lack of records in the CNDDB does not mean that rare, threatened, or endangered plants and wildlife do not occur in the Project site. Field verification for the presence or absence of sensitive species is necessary to provide a complete biological assessment for adequate CEQA review [CEQA Guidelines, § 15003(i)];
e) A complete, recent, assessment of rare, threatened, and endangered, and other sensitive species on site and within the area of potential effect, including California DocuSign Envelope ID: 126292A2-D70A-428B-90A4-7A79BB4D08D7 Jocelyn Swain
City of Lancaster
October 6, 2021
Species of Special Concern, and California Fully Protected Species (Fish & G. Code, §§ 3511, 4700, 5050, and 5515). Species to be addressed should include all those which meet the CEQA definition of endangered, rare, or threatened species (CEQA Guidelines, § 15380). Seasonal variations in use of a Project site should also be addressed such as wintering, roosting, nesting, and foraging habitat. Focused speciesspecific surveys, conducted at the appropriate time of year and time of day when the sensitive species are active or otherwise identifiable, may be required if suitable habitat is present. See CDFW’s Survey and Monitoring Protocols and Guidelines for established survey protocol for select species (CDFWc 2021). Acceptable species-specific survey procedures may be developed in consultation with CDFW and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; and,
f) A recent wildlife and rare plant survey. CDFW generally considers biological field assessments for wildlife to be valid for a one-year period, and assessments for rare plants may be considered valid for a period of up to three years. Some aspects of a proposed Project may warrant periodic updated surveys for certain sensitive taxa, particularly if build out could occur over a protracted time frame or in phases; and, g) A biological resources survey should include identification and delineation of any rivers, streams, and lakes and their associated natural plant communities/habitats. This includes any culverts, ditches, storm channels that may transport water, sediment, pollutants, and discharge into rivers, streams, and lakes. 4) Data. CEQA requires that information developed in environmental impact reports be incorporated into a database which may be used to make subsequent or supplemental environmental determinations [Pub. Resources Code, § 21003, subd. (e)]. Accordingly, please report any special status species and natural communities detected by completing and submitting CNDDB Field Survey Forms (CDFWe 2021). The City should ensure data collected at a Project-level has been properly submitted, with all data fields applicable filled out. The data entry should also list pending development as a threat and then update this occurrence after impacts have occurred.
5) Biological Direct, Indirect, and Cumulative Impacts. CDFW recommends providing a thorough discussion of direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts expected to adversely affect biological resources, with specific measures to offset such impacts. The DEIR should address the following:
a) A discussion regarding Project-related indirect impacts on biological resources, including resources in nearby public lands, open space, adjacent natural habitats, riparian ecosystems, and any designated and/or proposed or existing reserve lands [e.g., preserve lands associated with a Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP, Fish & G. Code, § 2800 et. seq.)]. Impacts on, and maintenance of, wildlife corridor/movement areas, including access to undisturbed habitats in adjacent areas, should be fully evaluated in the DEIR;
b) A discussion of both the short-term and long-term effects to species population distribution and concentration and alterations of the ecosystem supporting the species impacted [CEQA Guidelines, § 15126.2(a)];
DocuSign Envelope ID: 126292A2-D70A-428B-90A4-7A79BB4D08D7 Jocelyn Swain
City of Lancaster
October 6, 2021
c) A discussion of potential adverse impacts from lighting, noise, temporary and permanent human activity, and exotic species, and identification of any mitigation measures; d) A discussion on Project-related changes on drainage patterns; the volume, velocity, and frequency of existing and post-Project surface flows; polluted runoff; soil erosion and/or sedimentation in streams and water bodies; and, post-Project fate of runoff from the Project sites. The discussion should also address the potential water extraction activities and the potential resulting impacts on the habitat (if any) supported by the groundwater.
Mitigation measures proposed to alleviate such Project impacts should be included; e) An analysis of impacts from proposed changes to land use designations and zoning, and existing land use designation and zoning located nearby or adjacent to natural areas that may inadvertently contribute to wildlife-human interactions. A discussion of possible conflicts and mitigation measures to reduce these conflicts should be included in the DEIR; and,
f) A cumulative effects analysis, as described under CEQA Guidelines section 15130.
General and specific plans, as well as past, present, and anticipated future projects, should be analyzed relative to their impacts on similar plant and wildlife species, habitat, and vegetation communities. If the City determines that the Project would not have a cumulative impact, the environmental document should indicate why the cumulative impact is not significant. The City’s conclusion should be supported by facts and analyses [CEQA Guidelines, § 15130(a)(2)].
6) Project Description and Alternatives. To enable CDFW to adequately review and comment on the proposed Project from the standpoint of the protection of plants, fish, and wildlife, we recommend the following information be included in the DEIR:
a) A complete discussion of the purpose and need for, and description of, the proposed Project;
b) CEQA Guidelines section 15126.6(a) states that an environmental document shall describe a reasonable range of potentially feasible alternatives to the Project, or to the location of the Project, which would feasibly attain most of the basic objectives of the Project but would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the Project. CEQA Guidelines section 15126.6(f)(2) states if the Lead Agency concludes that no feasible alternative locations exist, it must disclose the reasons for this conclusion and should include reasons in the environmental document; c) A range of feasible alternatives to Project component location and design features to avoid or otherwise minimize direct and indirect impacts to sensitive biological resources and wildlife movement areas. CDFW recommends the City consider configuring Project construction and activities, as well as the development footprint, in such a way as to fully avoid impacts to sensitive and special status plants and wildlife species, habitat, and sensitive vegetation communities. CDFW also recommends the City consider establishing appropriate setbacks from sensitive and special status biological resources.
Setbacks should not be impacted by ground disturbance or hydrological changes for the duration of the Project and from any future development. As a general rule, CDFW recommends reducing or clustering the development footprint to retain unobstructed DocuSign Envelope ID: 126292A2-D70A-428B-90A4-7A79BB4D08D7 Jocelyn Swain
City of Lancaster

spaces for vegetation and wildlife and provide connections for wildlife between properties and minimize obstacles to open space;
Project alternatives should be thoroughly evaluated, even if an alternative would impede, to some degree, the attainment of the Project objectives or would be more costly (CEQA Guidelines, § 15126.6); and,
d) Where the Project may impact aquatic and riparian resources, CDFW recommends the City consider alternatives that would fully avoid impacts to such resources. CDFW also recommends alternatives that would allow not impede, alter, or otherwise modify existing surface flow; watercourse and meander; and water-dependent ecosystems and vegetation communities. Project-related designs should consider elevated crossings to avoid channelizing or narrowing of streams. Any modifications to a river, creek, or stream may cause or magnify upstream bank erosion, channel incision, and drop in water level and cause the stream to alter its course of flow. 7) Translocation/Salvage of Plants and Animal Species. Translocation and transplantation is the process of moving an individual from a project site and permanently moving it to a new location. CDFW generally does not support the use of, translocation or transplantation as the primary mitigation strategy for unavoidable impacts to rare, threatened, or endangered plant or animal species. Studies have shown that these efforts are experimental and the outcome unreliable. CDFW has found that permanent preservation and management of habitat capable of supporting these species is often a more effective long-term strategy for conserving sensitive plants and animals and their habitats. 8) Compensatory Mitigation. An environmental document should include mitigation measures for adverse Project related direct or indirect impacts to sensitive plants, animals, and habitats. Mitigation measures should emphasize avoidance and reduction of Project-related impacts. For unavoidable impacts, on-site habitat restoration or enhancement should be discussed in detail. If on-site mitigation is not feasible or would not be biologically viable and therefore not adequately mitigate the loss of biological functions and values, off-site mitigation through habitat creation and/or acquisition and preservation in perpetuity should be addressed. Areas proposed as mitigation lands should be protected in perpetuity with a conservation easement, financial assurance and dedicated to a qualified entity for long-term management and monitoring. Under Government Code, section 65967, the Lead Agency must exercise due diligence in reviewing the qualifications of a governmental entity, special district, or nonprofit organization to effectively manage and steward land, water, or natural resources on mitigation lands it approves.
9) Long-term Management of Mitigation Lands. For proposed preservation and/or restoration, an environmental document should include measures to protect the targeted habitat values from direct and indirect negative impacts in perpetuity. The objective should be to offset the Project-induced qualitative and quantitative losses of wildlife habitat values. Issues that should be addressed include (but are not limited to) restrictions on access, proposed land dedications, monitoring and management programs, control of illegal dumping, water pollution, and increased human intrusion. An appropriate non-wasting endowment should be set aside to provide for long-term management of mitigation lands.

RE: Notice of Preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Program. (SCH No. 2021090175)
Dear Jocelyn Swain,
On behalf of the Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters ( “Commenter” or “Southwest Carpenters”), my Office is submitting these comments on the City of Lancaster (“City” or “Lead Agency”) Notice of Preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Report (“NOP”) (SCH No. 2021090175) for the Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Program (“Project”).
The Southwest Carpenters is a labor union representing more than 50,000 union carpenters in six states, including California, and has a strong interest in well-ordered land use planning, addressing the environmental impacts of development projects and equitable economic development.
Individual members of the Southwest live, work and recreate in the City and surrounding communities and would be directly affected by the Project’s environmental impacts.
Commenter expressly reserves the right to supplement these comments at or prior to hearings on the Project, and at any later hearings and proceedings related to this Project. Cal. Gov. Code § 65009(b); Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 21177(a); Bakersfield Citizens for Local Control v. Bakersfield (2004) 124 Cal. App. 4th 1184, 1199-1203; see Galante Vineyards v. Monterey Water Dist. (1997) 60 Cal. App. 4th 1109, 1121.
City of Lancaster – Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Program October 11, 2021
Commenter incorporates by reference all comments raising issues regarding the environmental impact report (“EIR”) submitted prior to certification of the EIR for the Project. Citizens for Clean Energy v City of Woodland (2014) 225 Cal. App. 4th 173, 191 (finding that any party who has objected to the Project’s environmental documentation may assert any issue timely raised by other parties).
Moreover, Commenter requests that the Lead Agency provide notice for any and all notices referring or related to the Project issued under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), Cal Public Resources Code (“PRC”) § 21000 et seq, and the California Planning and Zoning Law (“Planning and Zoning Law”), Cal. Gov’t Code §§ 65000–65010. California Public Resources Code Sections 21092.2, and 21167(f) and Government Code Section 65092 require agencies to mail such notices to any person who has filed a written request for them with the clerk of the agency’s governing body.
The City should require the Applicant to provide additional community benefits such as requiring local hire and use of a skilled and trained workforce to build the Project.
The City should require the use of workers who have graduated from a Joint Labor Management apprenticeship training program approved by the State of California, or have at least as many hours of on-the-job experience in the applicable craft which would be required to graduate from such a state approved apprenticeship training program or who are registered apprentices in an apprenticeship training program approved by the State of California.
Community benefits such as local hire and skilled and trained workforce requirements can also be helpful to reduce environmental impacts and improve the positive economic impact of the Project. Local hire provisions requiring that a certain percentage of workers reside within 10 miles or less of the Project Site can reduce the length of vendor trips, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and providing localized economic benefits. As environmental consultants Matt Hagemann and Paul E.
Rosenfeld note:
[A]ny local hire requirement that results in a decreased worker trip length from the default value has the potential to result in a reduction of construction-related GHG emissions, though the significance of the reduction would vary based on the location and urbanization level of the project site.
City of Lancaster – Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Program October 11, 2021
March 8, 2021 SWAPE Letter to Mitchell M. Tsai re Local Hire Requirements and Considerations for Greenhouse Gas Modeling.
Skilled and trained workforce requirements promote the development of skilled trades that yield sustainable economic development. As the California Workforce Development Board and the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education concluded:
. . . labor should be considered an investment rather than a cost – and investments in growing, diversifying, and upskilling California’s workforce can positively affect returns on climate mitigation efforts. In other words, well trained workers are key to delivering emissions reductions and moving California closer to its climate targets.1
Recently, on May 7, 2021, the South Coast Air Quality Management District found that that the “[u]se of a local state-certified apprenticeship program or a skilled and trained workforce with a local hire component” can result in air pollutant reductions.2 Cities are increasingly adopting local skilled and trained workforce policies and requirements into general plans and municipal codes. For example, the City of Hayward 2040 General Plan requires the City to “promote local hiring . . . to help achieve a more positive jobs-housing balance, and reduce regional commuting, gas consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions.”3
In fact, the City of Hayward has gone as far as to adopt a Skilled Labor Force policy into its Downtown Specific Plan and municipal code, requiring developments in its Downtown area to requiring that the City “[c]ontribute to the stabilization of regional construction markets by spurring applicants of housing and nonresidential developments to require contractors to utilize apprentices from state-approved, joint 1 California Workforce Development Board (2020) Putting California on the High Road: A Jobs and Climate Action Plan for 2030 at p. ii, available at https://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/ wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Putting-California-on-the-High-Road.pdf 2 South Coast Air Quality Management District (May 7, 2021) Certify Final Environmental Assessment and Adopt Proposed Rule 2305 – Warehouse Indirect Source Rule – Warehouse Actions and Investments to Reduce Emissions Program, and Proposed Rule 316 – Fees for Rule 2305, Submit Rule 2305 for Inclusion Into the SIP, and Approve Supporting Budget Actions, available at http://www.aqmd.gov/docs/defaultsource/Agendas/Governing-Board/2021/2021-May7-027.pdf?sfvrsn=10 3 City of Hayward (2014) Hayward 2040 General Plan Policy Document at p. 3-99, available at https://www.hayward-ca.gov/sites/default/files/documents/General_Plan_FINAL.pdf.
City of Lancaster – Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Program October 11, 2021
labor-management training programs, . . .”4 In addition, the City of Hayward requires all projects 30,000 square feet or larger to “utilize apprentices from state-approved, joint labor-management training programs.”5
Locating jobs closer to residential areas can have significant environmental benefits. As the California Planning Roundtable noted in 2008:
People who live and work in the same jurisdiction would be more likely to take transit, walk, or bicycle to work than residents of less balanced communities and their vehicle trips would be shorter. Benefits would include potential reductions in both vehicle miles traveled and vehicle hours traveled.6
In addition, local hire mandates as well as skill training are critical facets of a strategy to reduce vehicle miles traveled. As planning experts Robert Cervero and Michael Duncan noted, simply placing jobs near housing stock is insufficient to achieve VMT reductions since the skill requirements of available local jobs must be matched to those held by local residents.7 Some municipalities have tied local hire and skilled and trained workforce policies to local development permits to address transportation issues. As Cervero and Duncan note:
In nearly built-out Berkeley, CA, the approach to balancing jobs and housing is to create local jobs rather than to develop new housing.” The city’s First Source program encourages businesses to hire local residents, especially for entry- and intermediate-level jobs, and sponsors vocational training to ensure residents are employment-ready. While the program is voluntary, some 300 businesses have used it to date, placing more than 3,000 city residents in local jobs since it was launched in 1986.

needed, these carrots are matched by sticks, since the city is not shy about negotiating corporate participation in First Source as a condition of approval for development permits.
The City should consider utilizing skilled and trained workforce policies and requirements to benefit the local area economically and mitigate greenhouse gas, air quality and transportation impacts.
Also, the City should require the Project to be built to standards exceeding the current 2019 California Green Building Code and 2020 County of Los Angeles Green Building Standards Code to mitigate the Project’s environmental impacts and to advance progress towards the State of California’s environmental goals.
I. THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
A. Background Concerning the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA has two basic purposes. First, CEQA is designed to inform decision makers and the public about the potential, significant environmental effects of a project. 14 California Code of Regulations (“CCR” or “CEQA Guidelines”) § 15002(a)(1).8 “Its purpose is to inform the public and its responsible officials of the environmental consequences of their decisions before they are made. Thus, the EIR ‘protects not only the environment but also informed self-government.’ [Citation.]” Citizens of Goleta Valley v. Board of Supervisors (1990) 52 Cal. 3d 553, 564. The EIR has been described as “an environmental ‘alarm bell’ whose purpose it is to alert the public and its responsible officials to environmental changes before they have reached ecological points of no return.” Berkeley Keep Jets Over the Bay v. Bd. of Port Comm’rs. (2001) 91 Cal.
App. 4th 1344, 1354 (“Berkeley Jets”); County of Inyo v. Yorty (1973) 32 Cal. App. 3d 795, 810.
Second, CEQA directs public agencies to avoid or reduce environmental damage when possible by requiring alternatives or mitigation measures. CEQA Guidelines § 15002(a)(2) and (3). See also, Berkeley Jets, 91 Cal. App. 4th 1344, 1354; Citizens of Goleta Valley v. Board of Supervisors (1990) 52 Cal. 3d 553; Laurel Heights Improvement Ass’n v. 8 The CEQA Guidelines, codified in Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, section 150000 et seq, are regulatory guidelines promulgated by the state Natural Resources Agency for the implementation of CEQA. (Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 21083.) The CEQA Guidelines are given “great weight in interpreting CEQA except when . . . clearly unauthorized or erroneous.” Center for Biological Diversity v. Department of Fish & Wildlife (2015) 62 Cal. 4th 204, 217.
City of Lancaster – Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Program October 11, 2021
Regents of the University of California (1988) 47 Cal. 3d 376, 400. The EIR serves to provide public agencies and the public in general with information about the effect that a proposed project is likely to have on the environment and to “identify ways that environmental damage can be avoided or significantly reduced.” CEQA Guidelines § 15002(a)(2). If the project has a significant effect on the environment, the agency may approve the project only upon finding that it has “eliminated or substantially lessened all significant effects on the environment where feasible” and that any unavoidable significant effects on the environment are “acceptable due to overriding concerns” specified in CEQA section 21081. CEQA Guidelines § 15092(b)(2)(A–B).
While the courts review an EIR using an “abuse of discretion” standard, “the reviewing court is not to ‘uncritically rely on every study or analysis presented by a project proponent in support of its position.’ A ‘clearly inadequate or unsupported study is entitled to no judicial deference.’” Berkeley Jets, 91 Cal. App. 4th 1344, 1355 (emphasis added) (quoting Laurel Heights, 47 Cal. 3d at 391, 409 fn. 12). Drawing this line and determining whether the EIR complies with CEQA’s information disclosure requirements presents a question of law subject to independent review by the courts. (Sierra Club v. Cnty. of Fresno (2018) 6 Cal. 5th 502, 515; Madera Oversight Coalition, Inc. v.
County of Madera (2011) 199 Cal. App. 4th 48, 102, 131.) As the court stated in Berkeley Jets, 91 Cal. App. 4th at 1355:
A prejudicial abuse of discretion occurs “if the failure to include relevant information precludes informed decision-making and informed public participation, thereby thwarting the statutory goals of the EIR process.
The preparation and circulation of an EIR is more than a set of technical hurdles for agencies and developers to overcome. The EIR’s function is to ensure that government officials who decide to build or approve a project do so with a full understanding of the environmental consequences and, equally important, that the public is assured those consequences have been considered. For the EIR to serve these goals it must present information so that the foreseeable impacts of pursuing the project can be understood and weighed, and the public must be given an adequate opportunity to comment on that presentation before the decision to go forward is made. Communities for a Better Environment v. Richmond (2010) 184 Cal. App. 4th 70, 80 (quoting Vineyard Area Citizens for Responsible Growth, Inc. v. City of Rancho Cordova (2007) 40 Cal. 4th 412, 449–450).
City of Lancaster – Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Program October 11, 2021
B. Due to the COVID-19 Crisis, the City Must Adopt a Mandatory Finding of Significance that the Project May Cause a Substantial Adverse Effect on Human Beings and Mitigate COVID-19 Impacts
CEQA requires that an agency make a finding of significance when a Project may cause a significant adverse effect on human beings. PRC § 21083(b)(3); CEQA Guidelines § 15065(a)(4).
Public health risks related to construction work requires a mandatory finding of significance under CEQA. Construction work has been defined as a Lower to Highrisk activity for COVID-19 spread by the Occupations Safety and Health Administration. Recently, several construction sites have been identified as sources of community spread of COVID-19.9
SWRCC recommends that the Lead Agency adopt additional CEQA mitigation measures to mitigate public health risks from the Project’s construction activities.
SWRCC requests that the Lead Agency require safe on-site construction work practices as well as training and certification for any construction workers on the Project Site.
In particular, based upon SWRCC’s experience with safe construction site work practices, SWRCC recommends that the Lead Agency require that while construction activities are being conducted at the Project Site:
Construction Site Design:
• The Project Site will be limited to two controlled entry points. • Entry points will have temperature screening technicians taking temperature readings when the entry point is open. • The Temperature Screening Site Plan shows details
regarding access to the Project Site and Project Site logistics for conducting temperature screening.
• A 48-hour advance notice will be provided to all trades prior to the first day of temperature screening.

CONSTRUCTION SITES HIGHLIGHT NEED FOR CONTINUED VIGILANCE IN SECTORS THAT HAVE REOPENED, available at https://www.sccgov.org/sites/ covid19/Pages/press-release-06-12-2020-cases-at-construction-sites.aspx.
City of Lancaster – Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Program October 11, 2021
• The perimeter fence directly adjacent to the entry points will be clearly marked indicating the appropriate 6-foot social distancing position for when you approach the screening area. Please reference the Apex temperature screening site map for additional details.
• There will be clear signage posted at the project site directing you through temperature screening.
• Provide hand washing stations throughout the construction site.
Testing Procedures:
• The temperature screening being used are non-contact
devices.
• Temperature readings will not be recorded.
• Personnel will be screened upon entering the testing center and should only take 1-2 seconds per individual.
• Hard hats, head coverings, sweat, dirt, sunscreen or any other cosmetics must be removed on the forehead before
temperature screening.
• Anyone who refuses to submit to a temperature screening or does not answer the health screening questions will be
refused access to the Project Site.
• Screening will be performed at both entrances from 5:30 am to 7:30 am.; main gate [ZONE 1] and personnel gate
[ZONE 2]
• After 7:30 am only the main gate entrance [ZONE 1] will continue to be used for temperature testing for anybody gaining entry to the project site such as returning personnel, deliveries, and visitors.
• If the digital thermometer displays a temperature reading above 100.0 degrees Fahrenheit, a second reading will be taken to verify an accurate reading.
City of Lancaster – Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Program October 11, 2021
• If the second reading confirms an elevated temperature, DHS will instruct the individual that he/she will not be allowed to enter the Project Site. DHS will also instruct the individual to promptly notify his/her supervisor and his/her human resources (HR) representative and provide them with a copy of Annex A.
Planning
• Require the development of an Infectious Disease
Preparedness and Response Plan that will include basic
infection prevention measures (requiring the use of personal protection equipment), policies and procedures for prompt identification and isolation of sick individuals, social distancing (prohibiting gatherings of no more than 10
people including all-hands meetings and all-hands lunches) communication and training and workplace controls that
meet standards that may be promulgated by the Center for Disease Control, Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, Cal/OSHA, California Department of
Public Health or applicable local public health agencies.10 The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Carpenters International Training Fund has developed COVID-19 Training and Certification to ensure that Carpenter union members and apprentices conduct safe work practices. The Agency should require that all construction workers undergo COVID-19 Training and Certification before being allowed to conduct construction activities at the Project Site.
SWRCC has also developed a rigorous Infection Control Risk Assessment (“ICRA”) training program to ensure it delivers a workforce that understands how to identify and 10 See also The Center for Construction Research and Training, North America’s Building Trades Unions (April 27 2020) NABTU and CPWR COVIC-19 Standards for U.S Constructions Sites, available at https://www.cpwr.com/sites/default/files/NABTU_ CPWR_Standards_COVID-19.pdf; Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (2020) Guidelines for Construction Sites During COVID-19 Pandemic, available at https://dpw.lacounty.gov/building-and-safety/docs/pw_guidelines-construction-sites.pdf. ..
City of Lancaster – Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Program October 11, 2021
control infection risks by implementing protocols to protect themselves and all others during renovation and construction projects in healthcare environments.11 ICRA protocols are intended to contain pathogens, control airflow, and protect patients during the construction, maintenance and renovation of healthcare facilities.
ICRA protocols prevent cross contamination, minimizing the risk of secondary infections in patients at hospital facilities.
The City should require the Project to be built using a workforce trained in ICRA protocols.
C. The City’s Local Hiring Policies Should be Extended to Further Help Reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled Within the City of Lancaster The City should consider utilizing its workforce policies and requirements to not only benefit the local area economically, mitigate greenhouse gas, air quality and transportation impacts but also to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT).
Currently, in the City of Lancaster “[e]very contractor submitting a bid to the city for a public works contract shall agree to make a good faith effort to hire qualified individuals who are local residents in sufficient numbers so that (with respect to such public works contract) no less than fifty (50) percent of the total construction workforce, including any subcontractor workforce, measured in construction work hours, is comprised of local residents.”12
As transportation consultant Norman Marshall notes:
“These construction hiring preferences should be extended to non-City construction projects using CEQA based on the greenhouse gas emissions calculated in CalEEMod. The number, length, and vehicle class of worker trips during construction are used in CalEEMod emission calculations. With local hiring preferences, the default trip length value could be overridden with a lower value, and constructionrelated greenhouse gas emissions (and VMT) would be reduced.” September 30, 2021 Smart Mobility Letter to Mitchell M. Tsai re Comments on Lancaster Vehicle Miles Traveled Mitigation Program.
Further, transportation consultant Norman Marshall states in that same letter that the 11 For details concerning SWRCC’s ICRA training program, see https://icrahealthcare.com/. 12 City of Lancaster Municipal Code Chapter 3.36 City of Lancaster – Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Program October 11, 2021
City’s local requirement are too broad because they extend outside the City’s jurisdiction. The City of Lancaster Municipal code defines as local resident “an individual who is legally domiciled in the Antelope Valley.”13 The Antelope Valley encompasses 3,000-square-mile along the Northern Los Angeles County and southern Kern County.”14
According to Mr. Marshall “[t]his is a large geographic area and consideration should be given to further prioritizing either workers living in the City or living within a certain radius of the construction project. For example, the City of Los Angeles has prioritized hiring within 5 miles in local hiring rules.” If the City has any questions or concerns, feel free to contact my Office.
Sincerely,

Subject: Local Hire Requirements and Considerations for Greenhouse Gas Modeling Dear Mr. Tsai,
Soil Water Air Protection Enterprise (“SWAPE”) is pleased to provide the following draft technical report explaining the significance of worker trips required for construction of land use development projects with respect to the estimation of greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions. The report will also discuss the potential for local hire requirements to reduce the length of worker trips, and consequently, reduced or mitigate the potential GHG impacts.
Worker Trips and Greenhouse Gas Calculations
The California Emissions Estimator Model (“CalEEMod”) is a “statewide land use emissions computer model designed to provide a uniform platform for government agencies, land use planners, and environmental professionals to quantify potential criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with both construction and operations from a variety of land use projects.”1 CalEEMod quantifies construction-related emissions associated with land use projects resulting from off-road construction equipment; on-road mobile equipment associated with workers, vendors, and hauling; fugitive dust associated with grading, demolition, truck loading, and on-road vehicles traveling along paved and unpaved roads; and architectural coating activities; and paving.2
The number, length, and vehicle class of worker trips are utilized by CalEEMod to calculate emissions associated with the on-road vehicle trips required to transport workers to and from the Project site during construction.3 1 “California Emissions Estimator Model.” CAPCOA, 2017, available at: http://www.aqmd.gov/caleemod/home. 2 “California Emissions Estimator Model.” CAPCOA, 2017, available at: http://www.aqmd.gov/caleemod/home. 3 “CalEEMod User’s Guide.” CAPCOA, November 2017, available at: http://www.aqmd.gov/docs/defaultsource/caleemod/01_user-39-s-guide2016-3-2_15november2017.pdf?sfvrsn=4, p. 34. 2 Specifically, the number and length of vehicle trips is utilized to estimate the vehicle miles travelled (“VMT”) associated with construction. Then, utilizing vehicle-class specific EMFAC 2014 emission factors, CalEEMod calculates the vehicle exhaust, evaporative, and dust emissions resulting from construction-related VMT, including personal vehicles for worker commuting.4
Specifically, in order to calculate VMT, CalEEMod multiplies the average daily trip rate by the average overall trip length (see excerpt below):
“VMTd = Σ(Average Daily Trip Rate i * Average Overall Trip Length i) n Where:
n = Number of land uses being modeled.”5
Furthermore, to calculate the on-road emissions associated with worker trips, CalEEMod utilizes the following equation (see excerpt below):
“Emissionspollutant = VMT * EFrunning,pollutant
Where:
Emissionspollutant = emissions from vehicle running for each pollutant VMT = vehicle miles traveled
EFrunning,pollutant = emission factor for running emissions.” 6 Thus, there is a direct relationship between trip length and VMT, as well as a direct relationship between VMT and vehicle running emissions. In other words, when the trip length is increased, the VMT and vehicle running emissions increase as a result. Thus, vehicle running emissions can be reduced by decreasing the average overall trip length, by way of a local hire requirement or otherwise.
Default Worker Trip Parameters and Potential Local Hire Requirements As previously discussed, the number, length, and vehicle class of worker trips are utilized by CalEEMod to calculate emissions associated with the on-road vehicle trips required to transport workers to and from the Project site during construction.7In order to understand how local hire requirements and associated worker trip length reductions impact GHG emissions calculations, it is important to consider the CalEEMod default worker trip parameters. CalEEMod provides recommended default values based on site-specific information, such as land use type, meteorological data, total lot acreage, project type and typical equipment associated with project type. If more specific project information is known, the user can change the default values and input projectspecific values, but the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) requires that such changes be justified by substantial evidence.8 The default number of construction-related worker trips is calculated by multiplying the 4 “Appendix A Calculation Details for CalEEMod.” CAPCOA, October 2017, available at: http://www.aqmd.gov/docs/defaultsource/caleemod/02_appendix-a2016-3-2.pdf?sfvrsn=6, p. 14-15. 5 “Appendix A Calculation Details for CalEEMod.” CAPCOA, October 2017, available at: http://www.aqmd.gov/docs/defaultsource/caleemod/02_appendix-a2016-3-2.pdf?sfvrsn=6, p. 23. 6 “Appendix A Calculation Details for CalEEMod.” CAPCOA, October 2017, available at: http://www.aqmd.gov/docs/defaultsource/caleemod/02_appendix-a2016-3-2.pdf?sfvrsn=6, p. 15. 7 “CalEEMod User’s Guide.” CAPCOA, November 2017, available at: http://www.aqmd.gov/docs/defaultsource/caleemod/01_user-39-s-guide2016-3-2_15november2017.pdf?sfvrsn=4, p. 34. 8 CalEEMod User Guide, available at: http://www.caleemod.com/, p. 1, 9. 3 number of pieces of equipment for all phases by 1.25, with the exception of worker trips required for the building construction and architectural coating phases.9Furthermore, the worker trip vehicle class is a 50/25/25 percent mix of light duty autos, light duty truck class 1 and light duty truck class 2, respectively.”10 Finally, the default worker trip length is consistent with the length of the operational home-to-work vehicle trips.11 The operational home-to-work vehicle trip lengths are:
“[B]ased on the location and urbanization selected on the project characteristic screen. These values were supplied by the air districts or use a default average for the state. Each district (or county) also assigns trip lengths for urban and rural settings” (emphasis added). 12 Thus, the default worker trip length is based on the location and urbanization level selected by the User when modeling emissions. The below table shows the CalEEMod default rural and urban worker trip lengths by air basin (see excerpt below and Attachment A).13

D-84 – D-86. 4 As demonstrated above, default rural worker trip lengths for air basins in California vary from 10.8- to 19.8- miles, with an average of 16.47 miles. Furthermore, default urban worker trip lengths vary from 10.8- to 14.7- miles, with an average of 11.17 miles. Thus, while default worker trip lengths vary by location, default urban worker trip lengths tend to be shorter in length. Based on these trends evident in the CalEEMod default worker trip lengths, we can reasonably assume that the efficacy of a local hire requirement is especially dependent upon the urbanization of the project site, as well as the project location.
Practical Application of a Local Hire Requirement and Associated Impact To provide an example of the potential impact of a local hire provision on construction-related GHG emissions, we estimated the significance of a local hire provision for the Village South Specific Plan (“Project”) located in the City of Claremont (“City”). The Project proposed to construct 1,000 residential units, 100,000-SF of retail space, 45,000-SF of office space, as well as a 50-room hotel, on the 24-acre site. The Project location is classified as Urban and lies within the Los Angeles-South Coast County. As a result, the Project has a default worker trip length of 14.7 miles.14 In an effort to evaluate the potential for a local hire provision to reduce the Project’s construction-related GHG emissions, we prepared an updated model, reducing all worker trip lengths to 10 miles (see Attachment B). Our analysis estimates that if a local hire provision with a 10-mile radius were to be implemented, the GHG emissions associated with Project construction would decrease by approximately 17% (see table below and Attachment C).
Local Hire Provision Net Change
Without Local Hire Provision
Total Construction GHG Emissions (MT CO2e) 3,623
Amortized Construction GHG Emissions (MT CO2e/year) 120.77 With Local Hire Provision
Total Construction GHG Emissions (MT CO2e) 3,024
Amortized Construction GHG Emissions (MT CO2e/year) 100.80 % Decrease in Construction-related GHG Emissions 17%
As demonstrated above, by implementing a local hire provision requiring 10 mile worker trip lengths, the Project could reduce potential GHG emissions associated with construction worker trips. More broadly, any local hire requirement that results in a decreased worker trip length from the default value has the potential to result in a reduction of construction-related GHG emissions, though the significance of the reduction would vary based on the location and urbanization level of the project site.
This serves as an example of the potential impacts of local hire requirements on estimated project-level GHG emissions, though it does not indicate that local hire requirements would result in reduced construction-related GHG emission for all projects. As previously described, the significance of a local hire requirement depends on the worker trip length enforced and the default worker trip length for the project’s urbanization level and location.

Pasadena, CA 91101
Subject: Comments on Lancaster Vehicle Miles Traveled Mitigation Program Dear Mr. Tsai:
The City of Lancaster is seeking comments on a Citywide Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Program. I make the following recommendations:
1) Given the extremely long commutes into the City of Lancaster and especially out of the City of Lancaster by its residents, it should be a priority to reduce the number of long commutes which I call greenhouse gas superspreader events by:
a. Working to improve jobs/housing balance by prioritizing developments that are jobs rich and incentivizing mixed-use development over residential-only development. b. Considering modifying the City’s construction local hire requirements to further prioritize either City residents or workers living within a certain distance of the job site. c. Extending the local hire requirements to non-City construction projects using CEQA. 2) I also recommend that the TDM mitigation program encourage pedestrian and bicycle improvements, traffic calming, telecommuting and trip reduction programs. 2 City of Lancaster Commuting Patterns
In 2020, the City of Lancaster adopted a VMT baselines and thresholds as required by SB 743. The resolution adopted is based on a May 27, 2020 report prepared by Fehr and Peers entitled Transportation Analysis Updates in Lancaster. The figure below is reproduced from this report.
The accompanying text states:
As shown in Figure 1, approximately 75% of Lancaster residents work outside the City, and approximately two-thirds of people who work in Lancaster live outside the City according to data provided by the Census Bureau. Nearly 15,000 Lancaster residents are employed within the City, accounting for a quarter of Lancaster commuters. (p. 7) The Fehr and Peers report further states:
These commute characteristics have implications for the City’s VMT metrics because they affect the distance that commuters need to travel to reach their jobs. As shown in the tables below, people who live in Lancaster typically have a longer commute than people who work in Lancaster, which suggests that many people who work in Lancaster but do not live there reside close by, while many people who live in Lancaster travel great distances for work. (p. 8)
3 I have summarized the table in Tables 1 and 2 of the Fehr and Peers report in the figure below.
Commute Distances for Workers Living in Lancaster and Workers Working in Lancaster As shown in the Figure above, over 60% of commutes for those working in Lancaster are less than 25 miles but only 40% of commutes for those living in Lancaster are less than 25 miles.
High percentages of commutes in both directions are greater than 50 miles (21.7% for those working in Lancaster and 27.7% for those living in Lancaster). These are round trips of greater than 100 miles. 0%

4 Trips greater than 50 miles in length comprise only 1.5% of all household trips in the six-County Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) region including Lancaster.
Household Trip Lengths from California Household Travel Survey Note: vertical scale shows that over 60% of trips are 0-5 miles in length These 1.5% of trips greater than 50 miles in length are responsible for a quarter of total VMT made by residents in the region. In terms of greenhouse gas emissions, these trips can be considered “superspreader” events. Any effective VMT mitigation by the City of Lancaster must specifically target these long trips.
Jobs Housing Imbalance
In general, cities are jobs centers where there is higher in-commuting from surrounding suburbs and rural areas than out-commuting. The City of Lancaster instead is jobs poor. The huge regional housing shortage issues have forced workers to live far from their jobs – including in the City of Lancaster. As this problem is primarily caused by the failure to allow sufficient housing close to jobs centers elsewhere in Southern California, the City of Lancaster cannot solve this problem on its own.
Nevertheless, any opportunity to reduce the jobs-housing imbalance should be seized upon. This includes prioritizing developments that are jobs rich (as likely is already being done). It also includes incentivizing mixed-use development over residential-only development. The Fehr and Peers report includes a list of potential VMT mitigation strategies based primarily on a 2010 California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) publication, Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures.
Mixed use has an estimated VMT reduction of 9% - 30%.

5 Local Hire Requirements
As discussed above, there are many long commutes both into and out of the City of Lancaster. When a local worker fills a job within the City instead of a long-distance commuter, this can reduce VMT in two ways: 1) reducing the commuting VMT to the Lancaster workplace, and 2) saving that worker from having to commute outside the City.
The Census Bureau tabulates workers and jobs by residential and work location within 20 employment categories. The City of Lancaster has a net deficit of jobs within every one of these 20 categories.1 In some cases, the totals are small, e.g., mining. There are seven categories where the net deficit is greater than 1500:
• NAICS sector 23 – Construction
• NAICS sectors 31-33 – Manufacturing
• NAICS sector 42 – Wholesale Trade
• NAICS section 44-45 – Retail Trade
• NAICS sector 56 – Administrative and Support
• NAICS sector 72 – Accommodations and Food Services
• NAICS sector 92 – Public Administration
Increasing the proportion of jobs in any of these sectors held by City residents would reduce VMT.
There is a particular opportunity in the Construction sector. The City already requires local hiring preferences in public works contracts (City of Lancaster Municipal Code Chapter 3.36). This requires:
Every contractor submitting a bid to the city for a public works contract shall agree to make a good faith effort to hire qualified individuals who are local residents in sufficient numbers so that (with respect to such public works contract) no less than fifty (50) percent of the total construction workforce, including any subcontractor workforce, measured in construction work hours, is comprised of local residents.
In the code “local” is defined as “an individual who is legally domiciled in the Antelope Valley.” This is a large geographic area and consideration should be given to further prioritizing either workers living in the City or living within a certain radius of the construction project. For example, the City of Los Angeles has prioritized hiring within 5 miles in local hiring rules.
These construction hiring preferences should be extended to non-City construction projects using CEQA based on the greenhouse gas emissions calculated in CalEEMod. The number, length, and vehicle class of worker trips during construction are used in CalEEMod emission calculations. With local hiring preferences, the default trip length value could be overridden with a lower value, and constructionrelated greenhouse gas emissions (and VMT) would be reduced. 1 Census data were tabulated at the Census Tract level. Census Tract boundaries do not match the City boundaries.
I extended the Census area to include the additional area in the Tracts outside the City limits. 6 Other VMT Mitigation Strategies
The Fehr and Peers report includes a list of potential VMT mitigation strategies based primarily on a 2010 California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) publication, Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures.
Small Impacts
Some of the strategies included offer only small VMT reductions but are now considered good planning practice everywhere. These include:
• Provide pedestrian network improvements 0-2%
• Provide traffic calming measures 0.25 – 1%
Moderate Impacts
The report lists “telecommuting and alternative work schedules” with a potential VMT reduction of 0.07 – 5.5%. Experience during the pandemic has shown that the reduction from telecommuting can be even greater. It is too early to know what the long-term telecommuting picture will be, but it could make a large dent in the 50+ mile commutes.
The report lists “commute trip reduction programs” as reducing VMT by 1 –-6.2 percent. This covers a wide range of transportation demand management (TDM) activities. TDM programs for proposed developments should be reviewed in the CEQA process
Large Range of Potential Impacts
Some of the strategies have a large range of impacts. Mixed use (9 – 30%) discussed above is a good strategy for the City of Lancaster. Some other strategies with wide ranges are good planning but are likely only to offer modest VMT reduction in the City. These include:
• Increase density 0.8% to 30%
• Increase transit accessibility 0.5 – 24.6%
• Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) Network – 0.5 – 12.7% I recommend that the TDM mitigation program encourage pedestrian (and bicycle) improvements, traffic calming, telecommuting and trip reduction programs.

Norman L. Marshall

EDUCATION:
Master of Science in Engineering Sciences, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH, 1982 Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA, 1977 PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: (32 Years, 18 at Smart Mobility, Inc.) Norm Marshall helped found Smart Mobility, Inc. in 2001. Prior to this, he was at RSG for 14 years where he developed a national practice in travel demand modeling. He specializes in analyzing the relationships between the built environment and travel behavior and doing planning that coordinates multi-modal transportation with land use and community needs.
Regional Land Use/Transportation Scenario Planning
Portland Area Comprehensive Transportation System (PACTS) – the Portland Maine Metropolitan Planning Organization. Updating regional travel demand model with new data (including AirSage), adding a truck model, and multiclass assignment including differentiation between cash toll and transponder payments.
Loudoun County Virginia Dynamic Traffic Assignment – Enhanced subarea travel demand model to include Dynamic Traffic Assignment (Cube). Model being used to better understand impacts of roadway expansion on induced travel.
Vermont Agency of Transportation-Enhanced statewide travel demand model to evaluate travel impacts of closures and delays resulting from severe storm events. Model uses innovate Monte Carlo simulations process to account for combinations of failures.
California Air Resources Board – Led team including the University of California in $250k project that reviewed the ability of the new generation of regional activity-based models and land use models to accurately account for greenhouse gas emissions from alternative scenarios including more compact walkable land use and roadway pricing. This work included hands-on testing of the most complex travel demand models in use in the U.S. today.
Climate Plan (California statewide) – Assisted large coalition of groups in reviewing and participating in the target setting process required by Senate Bill 375 and administered by the California Air Resources Board to reduce future greenhouse gas emissions through land use measures and other regional initiatives.
Chittenden County (2060 Land use and Transportation Vision Burlington Vermont region) – led extensive public visioning project as part of MPO’s long-range transportation plan update.
Flagstaff Metropolitan Planning Organization – Implemented walk, transit and bike models within regional travel demand model. The bike model includes skimming bike networks including on-road and off-road bicycle facilities with a bike level of service established for each segment.
Chicago Metropolis Plan and Chicago Metropolis Freight Plan (6-county region)— developed alternative transportation scenarios, made enhancements in the regional travel demand model, and used the enhanced 8 model to evaluate alternative scenarios including development of alternative regional transit concepts.
Developed multi-class assignment model and used it to analyze freight alternatives including congestion pricing and other peak shifting strategies.
Municipal Planning
City of Grand Rapids – Michigan Street Corridor – developed peak period subarea model including nonmotorized trips based on urban form. Model is being used to develop traffic volumes for several alternatives that are being additional analyzed using the City’s Synchro model City of Omaha - Modified regional travel demand model to properly account for non-motorized trips, transit trips and shorter auto trips that would result from more compact mixed-use development. Scenarios with different roadway, transit, and land use alternatives were modeled.
City of Dublin (Columbus region) – Modified regional travel demand model to properly account for nonmotorized trips and shorter auto trips that would result from more compact mixed-use development. The model was applied in analyses for a new downtown to be constructed in the Bridge Street corridor on both sides of an historic village center.
City of Portland, Maine – Implemented model improvements that better account for non-motorized trips and interactions between land use and transportation and applied the enhanced model to two subarea studies.
City of Honolulu – Kaka’ako Transit Oriented Development (TOD) – applied regional travel demand model in estimating impacts of proposed TOD including estimating internal trip capture.
City of Burlington (Vermont) Transportation Plan – Led team that developing Transportation Plan focused on supporting increased population and employment without increases in traffic by focusing investments and policies on transit, walking, biking and Transportation Demand Management.

Citywide Vehicle Miles Traveled Mitigation Program
Hi, my name is James Powell l'm oh local union carpenter from the Antelope Valley. Just like many other workers in this valley, I get up early in the morning to go to work because most jobs that pay a living wage are often many miles away from home. This causes me to spend more time commuting then time spent with my family. I often miss out on family and community activities. lt is great to see the city of Lancaster train to address this problem and provide the people of this great valley with jobs they can go to, right here in the City of Lancaster.
Will you believe that one sure way to addressed and mitigate the problem of traffic and pollution is to implement a citywide policy that would:
Require developers to utilized contractors that participate in local hire program for ALL construction projects within the City of Lancaster.
lmplement skilled and trained workforce requirements through certified apprenticeship on all construction projects in the City of Lancaster.
Local hire and skilled and trained workforce requirements reduce construction related environmental impact while benefiting the local economy.
Local skilled and train workforce requirements can boost economic growth, development and mitigate transportation and green gas impacts by minimizing miles traveled.
Just this year the south coast air quality management District found that the use of local state certified apprenticeship program or a skilled and trained workforce with local hire component can result in air pollution reductions.

Citywide Vehicle Miles Traveled Mitigation Program
Hi, my name issteven mcClenthen l'm a localunion carpenterfrom theAntelopeValley.Just like manyotherworkers in this valley, I get up early in the morning to go to work because most jobs that pay a living wage are often many miles away from home. This causes me to spend more time commuting then time spent with my family. I often miss out on family and community activities. lt is great to see the City of Lancaster trying to address this problem and provide the people of this great valley with jobs they can go to, right here in the City of Lancaster.
We believe that one sure way to address and mitigate the problem of traffic and pollution is to implement a city-wide policy that would:
Require developers to utilize contractors that participate in local hire program for ALL construction projects within the City of Lancaster.
lmplement skilled and trained workforce requirements through certified apprenticeship on All construction projects in the City of Lancaster.
Local hire and skilled and trained work force requirements reduce construction related environmental impacts while benefiting the local economy.
Local skilled and trained work force requirements can boost economic growth, development and mitigate transportation and green gas impacts by minimizing miles traveled.

Citywide Vehicle Miles Traveled Mitigation Program
Hi, my name is Daniel Acosta l'm a local union carpenter from the Antelope Valley. Just like many other workers in this valley, I get up early in the morning to go to work because most jobs that pay a living wage are often many miles away from home. This causes me to spend more time commuting then time spent with my family. I often miss out on family and community activities. lt is great to see the City of Lancaster trying to address this problem and provide the people of this great valley with jobs they can go to, right here in the City of Lancaster.
We believe that one sure way to address and mitigate the problem of traffic and pollution is to implement a city-wide policy that would:
Require developers to utilize contractors that participate in local hire program for ALL construction projects within the City of Lancaster.
lmplement skilled and trained workforce requirements through certified apprenticeship on All construction projects in the City of Lancaster.
Local hire and skilled and trained work force requirements reduce construction related environmental impacts while benefiting the local economy.
Local skilled and trained work force requirements can boost economic growth, development and mitigate transportation and green gas impacts by minimizing miles traveled.

Subject: Citywide Vehicle Miles Traveled Mitigation Program Hi, my name is Josue Solis Quinones l'm a local union carpenter from the Antelope Valley. Just like many other workers in this valley, I get up early in the morning to go to work because most jobs that pay a living wage are often many miles away from home. This causes me to spend more time commuting then time spent with my family. I often miss out on family and community activities. lt is great to see the City of Lancaster trying to address this problem and provide the people of this great valley with jobs they can go to, right here in the City of Lancaster.
We believe that one sure way to address and mitigate the problem of traffic and pollution is to implement a city-wide policy that would:
Require developers to utilize contractors that participate in local hire program for ALL construction projects within the City of Lancaster.
lmplement skilled and trained workforce requirements through certified apprenticeship on All construction projects in the City of Lancaster.
Local hire and skilled and trained work force requirements reduce construction related environmental impacts while benefiting the local economy.
Local skilled and trained work force requirements can boost economic growth, development and mitigate transportation and green gas impacts by minimizing miles traveled.
Just this year the South Coast Air Quality Management District found that the use of local state certified apprenticeship program or a skilled and trained work force with local hire component can result in air pollution reductions.

Josue Solis Quinones

Attn: Andrew Salas, Chairman
PO Box 393
Covina, CA91723
RE: lnitial Native American Consultation for the Citywide Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Program, Lancaster, Los Angeles County, California
Dear Mr. Salas:
The City of Lancaster (City) is proposing to adopt an ordinance that will establish a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Program with the intent to reduce Citywide VMT. The VMT Mitigation Program would identify relevant transportation demand management strategies and VMT-reducing projects within the City to be funded by future developments that trigger potentially significant VMT impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Potential VMT-reducing measures may include providing pedestrian/bicycle network improvements, traffic calming infrastructure, improved street connectivity, and City-run programs to incentivize use of alternative travel modes. No ground disturbance is proposed as part of this program.
The proposed program must complywith California Public Resources Code $ 21080.3.1 (Assembly Bill 52 of 2014 IAB 52]), which requires local governments to conduct meaningful consultation with California Native American tribes that have requested to be notified by lead agencies of proposed projects in the geographic area with which the tribe is traditionally and culturally affiliated.
The input of the Gabrielefio Band of Mission lndians - Kizh Nation Tribe is important to the City's planning process. Under AB 52, you have 30 days from receipt of this letter to respond in writing if you wish you consult on the proposed program. lf you require any additional information or have any questions, please contact me via e-mail at [email protected].
Thank you for your assistance.

Jocelyn,
We have reviewed the Draft EIR for the City of Lancaster’s VMT Mitigation Program and have no comments. Appendix 11 of the EIR included a list of potential active transportation projects that can play a vital role in reducing VMT, and we will work with Candice and other City staff to look for opportunities to leverage the City’s efforts and extend these improvements in our unincorporated areas in North LA County.

Subject: Comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Program Project, SCH #2021090175, Los Angeles County Dear Ms. Swain:
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has reviewed the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Program (Project) from the City of Lancaster (City). Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments and recommendations regarding those activities involved in the Project that may affect California fish and wildlife. Likewise, we appreciate the opportunity to provide comments regarding those aspects of the Project that CDFW, by law, may be required to carry out or approve through the exercise of its own regulatory authority under the Fish and Game Code.
CDFW’s Role
CDFW is California’s Trustee Agency for fish and wildlife resources and holds those resources in trust by statute for all the people of the State [Fish & G. Code, §§ 711.7, subdivision (a) & 1802; Pub. Resources Code, § 21070; California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, § 15386, subdivision (a)]. CDFW, in its trustee capacity, has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife, native plants, and habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of those species (Id., § 1802). Similarly, for purposes of CEQA, CDFW is charged by law to provide, as available, biological expertise during public agency environmental review efforts, focusing specifically on projects and related activities that have the potential to adversely affect state fish and wildlife resources.
CDFW is also submitting comments as a Responsible Agency under CEQA (Pub. Resources Code, § 21069; CEQA Guidelines, § 15381). CDFW expects that it may need to exercise regulatory authority as provided by the Fish and Game Code, including lake and streambed alteration regulatory authority (Fish & G. Code, § 1600 et seq.). Likewise, to the extent implementation of the Project as proposed may result in “take”, as defined by State law, of any species protected under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) (Fish & G. Code, § 2050 et seq.), or CESA-listed rare plant pursuant to the Native Plant Protection Act (NPPA; Fish & G. Code, §1900 et seq.), CDFW recommends the Project proponent obtain appropriate authorization under the Fish and Game Code.
