ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Phase IIIA — Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue
1. 0 INTRODUCTION
This Addendum has been prepared in accordancewith the California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA), as amended, to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of the proposed changesto the widening of Bristol Street, from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane as proposed in the Project Final Environmental Impact Statement / Environmental Impact Report ( FEIS / EIR) approved in 1990 ( FHWA- CA- EIS- 89 -01- F; SCH No. 87071509).
This Addendum focuses on the segment of Bristol Street between Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue ( Phase IIIA, or Project) and is limited to the proposed improvements to this segment. This Addendum provides an assessment of potential environmental impacts associated with minor design modifications andthe issueof climate changewhich wasnot addressedin the previouslypreparedand certified FEIS / EIR.
Design modifications to the Project, since approval of the 1990 FEIS / EIR, that are addressed in this Addendum include the following:
The 1990 FEIS/EIR, using decommissioned noise methodology, recommended noise barriers soundwalls) at all easterlyparcel boundariescurrently fronting the eastside of Bristol Street betweenCivic CenterDrive andWashingtonAvenue. However, usingcurrentnoisemodeling methodology (RBF Consulting 2014), noise abatementin the form of noise barriers is not required for the Phase IIIA Project.
For purposes of aesthetic treatment and enhancement, the proposed Project would install an approximately 8 -foot high block wall at approximately the samelocation where soundwalls were previously recommended (asaddressedin the 1990FEIS /EIR).
The proposed Project increases the total right -of -way width from 120 feet to 128 feet. The proposedProject right -of -way cross - section would maintain a curb -to -curb width of 100feet, would accommodatea7 -foot widebike laneoneachsideof theroadway, andwould not affect thenumber or width of vehicular travel lanesascomparedto theright -of -way cross- section addressedin the 1990FEIS/EIR. However, theproposedProject right -of -way crosssection, as compared to the right -of -way cross section addressedin the 1990 FEIS/ EIR, would reduce the width of thesidewalksfrom 10to 8 feetandalsoaccommodatea6 -foot wide parkwayon each sideof Bristol Streetto separatepedestrianandvehiculartravel; aparkwaywasnot includedas part of theroadway crosssectionaddressedin the 1990FEIS /EIR. Acquisition of property resulting from the proposed Project right -of -way is accounted for in this analysis.
Addition of a westbound right - turn lane on Washington Avenue at Bristol Street.
Addition of a cul -de -sac at 9th Street on the west side of Bristol Street.
Full and partial acquisition on both sides of Bristol Street between Civic Center Drive and Washington Avenue.
Changes in land use as part of the Bristol Specific Plan Addendum, as follows:
o Assessor Parcel Numbers ( APNs) 405- 262 - 21, - 22, - 23, - 24, - 25, - 26, - 27, - 28,- 29, - 30, - 31, - 32, and - 33; and 405- 274 -09, - 10, 41, - 12, and - 13) — Land use change from Park to Park with Commercial option.
Additionally, thetopic of greenhousegas (GFIG) emissionswasnot addressedin thepreviouslyapproved 1990 FEIS / EIR as this topic was not a subject matter that required evaluation pursuant to CEQA at that time. As such, this Addendum analyzes the effects of GHG emissions associated with construction and operation of the proposed Project.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTREPORTADDENDUM
BristolStreetWideningPhaseIIIA — CivicCenterDriveto WashingtonAvenue This Addendumto the previously certified 1990FEIS /EIR hasbeenpreparedbecauseProject - related modifications to the Bristol Street alignment do not trigger the need for further environmental analysis in a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR under the requirements CEQA ( refer to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163, respectively).
1. 1 Purpose of an Addendum
Under CEQA, when an EIR hasbeen certified for a project, no SubsequentEIR may be required for that project unlessthe lead agencydetermines, basedupon substantialevidence, that one or more specified circumstanceshasoccurred. Only if oneor moreof the following circumstancesarisesis a Subsequent EIR required, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162:
1. ( 1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revision of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity ofpreviously identified significant effects;
2. ( 2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revision of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
3. ( 3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified ascomplete, shows any of the following:
A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR;
B) Significant effectspreviously examinedwill be substantiallymore severe than shown in the previous EIR;
C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. ( CEQA Guidelines Section 15162[ a])
A Supplement to an EIR ( or Supplemental EIR), which is narrower in scope than a SubsequentEIR, may bepreparedif anyof theabovecriteriaapply, but "[o]nly minorchangesor additionswouldbenecessary to makethe previousEIR adequatelyapplyto the projectin the changedsituation" (CEQA Guidelines Section 15163[ a][ 2]). In the absence of the need to prepare either a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR, an Addendummaybeprepared. Morespecifically, CEQAGuidelinesSection15164states:
a) The lead agency or a responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if somechangesor additionsarenecessarybut noneof the conditions describedin Section 15162 calling for preparationof a subsequentEIR have occurred.
b) An addendumto an adoptednegativedeclarationmay be preparedif only minor technicalchangesor additionsarenecessaryor noneof theconditionsdescribedin Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequentEIR or negative declaration have occurred.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Phase IIIA— Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration. d) The decision making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adoptednegative declarationprior to malting a decision on the project. e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendumto an EIR, the lead agency's findings on the project, or elsewherein the record. The explanation must be supportedby substantialevidence.
This Addendumto the previously certified FEIS/EIR for the approvedProjecthasbeenpreparedbecause the evaluationof the proposedmodifications doesnot result in any of the circumstancesrequiring a Subsequent or Supplemental EIS / EIR. Although the proposed modifications would result in development that differs from that in the 1990 FEIS / EIR, those modifications do not trigger the need for preparation of a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR under the criteria listed in CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163, respectively. Sections 2.0 and 3.0 of this Addendum demonstrate that no substantial changes are proposedin the approvedProject or have occurredin the areaof the Bristol StreetWidening PhaseIIIA Projectthat will requiremajor revisionsto the previously certified 1990FEIS /EIR dueto the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. Specifically, the proposed modifications, as compared to the 1990 FEIS/ EIR, do not result in new or substantially greater significant impacts becausethe scale and nature of the proposed modifications are sufficiently similar to that analyzedin the 1990FEIS /EIR suchthat the impacts of the proposed modifications are within the levels and types of environmental impacts disclosed in the 1990 FEIS / EIR.
In addition, no substantial changes in circumstances under Section 15162( a)( 2) have occurred since the certification of the 1990 FEIS / EIR for the approved Project that would result in new significant impacts or substantially increase the severity of significant impacts previously identified, since the background environmental conditions have not significantly changed since that time. The City of Santa Ana has receivedno information indicating therehasbeena substantialchangein any circumstancesthat would result in a new or substantiallygreatersignificant impact.
Furthermore, no new information, which was not known and could not have been known at the time of the 1990 FEIS/EIR preparation, has been revealed that shows new or substantially greater significant impacts would result ( see CEQA Guidelines Section 15162( a)( 3)). In addition, there are no new or different mitigation measuresor alternativesthat would substantiallyreduceone or more significant impacts of the approved Project but that are not adopted. The proposedmodifications do not identify or require adoption of any further mitigation measuresor alternatives beyond those provided in the certified 1990 FEIS /EIR for the approvedProject, since additional mitigation measuresare either not necessaryor not feasible, and the alternatives analyzed in the 1990 FEIS /EIR represent a reasonable range as required pursuant to CEQA [ see CEQA Guidelines Section 15162( a)( 3)].
This Addendum relies on the certified 1990 FEIS/ EIR and the related administrative record, in addition to the additional documentation included to support the Addendum, including the appendices. The Addendum is to be included or attached to the 1990 FEIS / EIR and is not to be considered as an independent or separate document.
As this Addendum does not identify new or substantially greater significant impacts, circulation for public review and comment is not necessarypursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(c). However, the City Council will consider and adopt or reject this Addendum at a public meeting (refer to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(d)). The findings of the City Council in its resolution of adoption of this Addendum, if adopted, will reflect this Addendum which provides the basis and substantial evidence for ANA 305 -011 ( PER 02) CITY OF SANTA ANA ( 01/ 19/2015) YU PAGE 3

1. 3 Project Background
1. 3. 1 Approved 1990 Final EIWEIS
TheCity of SantaAnaGeneralPlandesignatesBristol Streetasa Major Arterial Highwaytravelingin a north -south direction. As a result of significant growth and traffic congestion on Bristol Street, the City of Santa Ana, in the late 1980s, proposed to widen Bristol Street from a four -lane roadway to a six -lane arterialin accordancewith adoptedCountyof Orangeand City of SantaAna standardsfor a Major Arterial Highway. A joint EIS /EIR was preparedand approvedby the City of SantaAna and the California Departmentof Transportation (Caltrans) for the widening of Bristol Streetin 1990. The 1990 Project entailed a 3.9 -mile segment of Bristol Street from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane. Due to significant costsassociatedwith construction and availability of funding, the streetwidening Project was divided into three phases; PhaseI, from Wainer Avenue north to First Street; PhaseII, consisting of the wideningandreconstructionof the bridgewhich crossesSantiagoCreek (northerlylimits of the street wideningProject); andPhaseIII, betweenFirstStreetandMemoryLane. Subsequently, andalsodueto fundingprogrammingandavailability, thePhaseIII segmenthasbeenfurtherdividedinto two separate segments: Phase IIIA, Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue ( the subject of this Addendum),; and PhaseIIIB WashingtonAvenueto 17thStreet. TheBristol Streetwidening segments, asdescribedabove, operateindependently; that is, operationof onesegmentis not dependentonanother.
The 1990 FEIS /EIR ( SCH No. 87071509) was approved on November 19, 1990. The 1990 FEIS / EIR and associatedtechnicalstudies, incorporatedhereinby reference, documentedthe environmentalimpactsof wideningBristol Streetfrom WarnerAvenueto MemoryLanein the City of SantaAna. As statedin the 1990 FEIS /EIR, the purpose and goals of the Bristol Street Widening Project were to:
1. Providesufficientroadwaycapacityto accommodatecurrentandfuturetraffic demand.
2. Improve the performanceand safety of the roadway for the benefit of the motoring public.
3. To reduce current and projected future delays experienced at major intersections and to design intersections to function at acceptable Levels of Service ( LOS).
4. To design the roadway in manner conducive to the provision of public transportation, namelybusserviceprovidedby theOrangeCountyTransitDistrict (OCTD).
1.3. 2 Adopted Transportation Improvement Program
The Approved Project is fully funded and includedasproject numberORA125 in theregional emissions analysisconductedby SouthernCaliforniaAssociationof Governments (SLAG) for theconforming2013 Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) adopted by SCAG on September 19, 2012 and approvedby FHWA onDecember14, 2012. As providedin theFLIP, theApprovedProjectdescription reads as follows:

BRISTOL / WARNER ( ADD NBIEBISB THRU LNS, WB RT TRN LN) AND BRISTOL / FIRST ADD NBISB THRULNS; SB LFTIRTITRNLNS
The Phase IIIA project is a component of the Approved Project. The Phase IIIA Project' s design concept andscopehavenot changedsignificantly from whatwasanalyzedin the RTIP andFTIP. This analysis found that the plan and, therefore, the individual projects contained in the plan, are conforming projects, andwould haveair quality impactsconsistentwith thoseidentifiedin the stateimplementationplans SIPS) for achievingtheNationalAmbientAir Quality Standards (NAAQS). FHWA determinedtheRTIP to conform to the SIP.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Phase IIIA — Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue The Phase IIIA Project' s open to the public year is consistent with ( within the same regional emission analysis period as) the construction completion date identified in the FTIP and / or RTP. The FTIP gives priority to eligible Transportation Control Measures (TCMs) identified in the SIP and provides sufficient funds to provide for their implementation. FHWA determined the TIP to conform to the SIP on December 2010.
The PhaseIIIA Project is also included in the 2013 TIP adoptedby SCAG on September6, 2012 and approved by FHWA on December 14, 2012.
1. 4 Project Description
1.4.1 Bristol Street Widening Phase 111AProject Area
PhaseIIIA of the Bristol StreetWidening Project involves the widening of Bristol StreetbetweenCivic CenterDrive and WashingtonAvenue from four lanesto six laneswith a 128 -foot wide right -of -way cross section including a 14 -foot wide raised landscapedmedian; three 12 -foot wide through travel lanes in eachdirection; a 7 -foot wide ClassII bike lane on eachside of the roadway; a 6 -foot wide parkway; and 8 -foot wide sidewalks with curb ramps for wheelchair access ( pursuant to American with Disabilities Act of 1990 [ADA] requirements) on both sides of the roadway. As Bristol Street approachesthe intersections, the landscaped center median would taper to accommodate right - turn pockets and left - turn lanes in each direction. The proposed Project also includes the addition of a westbound right - turn lane on Washington Avenue at Bristol Street and removal of the eastbound through movement on Washington Avenue at Bristol Streetto matchthe existing condition. Furthermore, a cul -de -sacwould be constructed at 9th Street on the west side of Bristol Street.
Street signs and utilities including electric power lines, telephone poles, and street lighting would be relocated to new locations within the Project area along Bristol Street. Streetfurniture, including benches andbusshelters, would beprovidedatbusstoplocations. Affected treeswould bereplanted.
During the one -year construction period ( anticipated to be mid -2015 to mid- 2016), one lane in each direction would remain open and existing driveway accessesalong Bristol Streetwould be retained at all times. The maximum excavation depthwould be three feet for roadway excavation, and approximately 10 feet for utility /drainageexcavation.
1.4.2 Property Acquisition
As listed in Table 1, a total of 20 properties (parcels) would be fully acquiredasa result of the proposed widening of Bristol StreetbetweenCivic CenterDrive andWashingtonAvenue (refer to Figure 4 for the locationsof affectedproperties). More specifically, the proposedProject, andits associatedright -of -way requirements, would result in the full acquisition by the City of Santa Ana, of 17 single - family residential parcels; two parcels representing commercial / utility uses; and one parcel characterized as office - type use.
Parcel405- 262 -26 is within the project limits; however, this parcelis ownedby the City. The acquisitions would comply with policies pursuant to the Uniform Relocation AssistanceandReal Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 as implemented by the City of SantaAna. The increasein right -of -way width associated with the proposed Project from 120 feet, as addressed in the 1990 FEIS / EIR, to 128 feet would not result in a difference in the number of properties that would be acquired as a result of the proposed improvements.

1. 4. 3 Changes as Compared to the Approved Project
It shouldbe noted that Project phasinghasbeenrevised from the original three phasesidentified in the 1990 FEIS /EIR. Construction phasing of the entire Project segmenthas been further subdivided as follows:
St. Andrew Place to McFadden Avenue ( Constructed in 2002) Elm Streetto Memory Lane (Constructedin 2003)
Pine Street to 3rd Street ( Constructed in 2009)
Phase I: McFadden Avenue to Pine Street ( Constructed in 2011)' Phase II: 3rd Street to Civic Center Drive ( Constructed in 2014) Phase IIIA: Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue
Phase IIIB: Washington Avenue to 17d' Street
Phase IV: Warner Avenue to St. Andrew Place
Phase V: 17"' Street to Elm Street
The proposedstreetwidening designconfiguration for the currentPhaseIIIA segment (proposedProject addressed herein) differs from the original configuration of the 1990 FEIS / EIR, as follows:
The 1990FEIS /EIR, using decommissionednoisemethodology, recommendednoisebarriers soundwalls) at all easterly parcel boundaries currently fronting the east side of Bristol Street between Civic Center Drive andWashington Avenue. However, using current noisemodeling methodology (RBF Consulting2014), noiseabatementin the form of noisebarriersis not required for the Phase IIIA Project.
For purposes of aesthetic treatment and enhancement, the proposed Project would install an approximately8 -foot high block wall atapproximatelythe samelocation wheresoundwallswere previously recommended (as addressedin the 1990 FEIS /EIR).
The proposed Project increases the total right -of -way width from 120 feet to 128 feet. The proposed Project right -of -way cross - section would maintain a curb -to -curb width of 100 feet, would accommodatea 7 -foot wide bike lane on eachsideof theroadway, andwould not affect the numberor width of vehiculartravel lanesascomparedto the right -of -way cross - section addressedin the 1990FEIS /EIR. However, the proposedProjectright -of -way crosssection, as compared to the right -of -way cross section addressed in the 1990 FEIS /EIR, would reduce the width of the sidewalks from 10 to 8 feet and also accommodate a 6 -foot wide parkway on each side of Bristol Streetto separatepedestrianandvehicular travel; a parkway wasnot included as part of theroadway crosssectionaddressedin the 1990FEIS /EIR. Acquisition of property resulting from the proposedProjectright -of -way is accountedfor in this analysis.
Addition of a westbound right - turn lane on Washington Avenue at Bristol Street.
Removal of eastbound through movement on Washington Avenue at Bristol Street to match existing condition.
Addition of a cul - de -sac at 9th Street on the west side of Bristol Street.
Full and partial acquisition on both sides of Bristol Street between Civic Center Drive and Washington Avenue.

Description of Project:
The City of SantaAna is proposingto widen the Bristol Streetbetween Civic Center Drive and Washington Avenue from four lanes to six lanes with a 128 -foot wide right- of-way cross section including a 14 -foot wide raisedlandscapedmedian; three 12 -foot wide through travel lanes in each direction; a7 -foot wide ClassII bike laneoneachsideof theroadway; a6 -foot wideparkway; and8 -foot wide sidewalks with curb ramps for wheelchair access ( pursuant to American with Disabilities Act of 1990 [ADA] requirements) on both sidesof the roadway. As Bristol Streetapproachesthe intersections, the landscaped center median would taper to accommodate right - turn pockets and left -turn lanes in each direction. The proposed Project also includes the addition of a westbound right - turn lane on Washington Avenue at Bristol Street and removal of the eastbound through movement on Washington Avenue at Bristol Streetto match the existing condition. Furthermore, a cul- de-sacwould be constructedat 9th Street on the west side of Bristol Street. The proposed Project would also install an approximately 8 -foot- high block wall at approximately the same location where the soundwall was previously recommended asaddressedin the 1990FEIS /EIR). The wideningwould requirefall acquisitionsof 20 parcelsfronting Bristol Streetasdetailedin Table 1 (PropertyAcquisitions) of this Addendum.

Mandatory Findings of Significance
A summary of impacts of the previously approved Project and the mitigation measures imposed is provided along with an analysisof thepotential impactsresulting from theproposedProject andwhether thoseimpactssubstantiallyexceedsthosediscussedin the previously approved1990FEIS/EIR.
3. 1 Aesthetics
This section corresponds with Section IV - Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures, Subsections A - Landform Modification, G - Urban Landscaping, J - Light and Glare, and K - Aesthetic Considerationsof the previously approved 1990 FEIS /EIR. a.) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? The proposedProject would not result in any significant modifications or changesfrom the previously approved 1990FEIS /EIR. The Project is located within a highly developedurban areaof the City of Santa Ana. No scenic vistas are located within the Project area. No impact to scenic vistas would result from the proposed Project.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.

There are no state- designated scenic highways within the Project area, nor is the Project area visible from anyscenichighways. No impactsareanticipatedin thisregard.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
c.) Substantiallydegradethe existingvisualcharacteror quality of'thesiteandits surroundings? The proposed Project is located in a highly urbanized area of the City of SantaAna. Although the proposed Project would result in modifications to the visual character of the area resulting from the wideningof Bristol Streetandresultantpropertyacquisitions, aswell asthe additionof an 8 -foot high block wall at approximatelythesamelocationwherethesoundwallwaspreviouslyaddressedin the 1990 FEIS /EIR, the Project would not result in substantial changes in visual character as analyzed in the 1990 FEIS /EIR. Implementation of mitigation measures as included in the previously approved 1990 FEIS /EIR, including installation of a block wall as describedabove, would ensurethat impacts are reduced to a less than significant level.
Although the proposed block wall is no longer warranted for purposes of noise abatement based on the updated Project noise analysis ( RBF Consulting, 2014), the wall, as further described in the 1990 FEIS /EIR, was taken into consideration as a Project - related component in the context of providing improvedvisual continuity within the Bristol Streetcorridor; not constructingthe proposedblock wall would detractfrom providinganaestheticallyunified streetscapealongtheProjectcorridor.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
d.) Createa newsourceof substantiallight or glare that would adverselyaffect day or nighttime views in the area?
Light and glare are currently generatedfrom various sourceswithin the Project area (e.g., commercial and retail businesses, signage, streetlighting, andparkinglot lighting). TheproposedProjectdoesnot involve the constructionof any structuresother than relocation of street lighting fixtures. Therefore, no new sources of light or glare are anticipated with implementation of the proposed Project. The proposed Project would not generate additional daytime or nighttime illumination beyond that currently experienced within the area. Implementation of the proposed Project would not create more significant light andglareimpactsthanpreviously analyzedin the 1990FEIS /EIR.

3. 3 Air Quality
This section corresponds with Section IV - Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures, SubsectionsFI - Air Quality andV - Constructionhnpactsof the previously approved1990FEIS /EIR. a.) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? The Bristol Street Widening Project is fully funded and included in SCAG's 2012 Regional Transportation Plan titled 2012 -2035 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy RTP /SCS): Towards a Sustainable Future ( 2012 RTP) ( RTP ID ORA125). The project is also currently listedin SCAG's financially constrained2013FederalTransportationImprovementProgram (2013FTIP) for fiscal year2012/2013 — 2015/2016.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Phase IIIA— Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue determine whether or not a project would contribute to air pollutant violations. If a project exceeds the regional air pollutant thresholds, then the project would substantially contribute to air quality violations in the SCAB. In addition, a project would also contribute to air pollutant violations if localized emissions resultin anexceedanceof theambientair quality standards (AAQS).
Based on the Air Quality AssessmentReport performed by URS Corporation (2013a) for the Project, short -tern emissions generated during Project - related construction activities would not exceed the SCAQMD regional emissionsthresholdsfor any of the criteria pollutants and also would not substantially elevate localized concentrations of thesepollutants. Consequently, the Project would be consistentwith the Air Quality ManagementPlant (AQMP). Long -tern emissionsgeneratedby the Project would not exceed the SCAQMD thresholds for regional emissions and would therefore also not contribute to an increasein frequency or severity of air quality violations.
The proposed Project would be consistentwith the Major Arterial designation of the City of SantaAna General Plan Circulation Element and the County of Orange's Master Plan of Arterial Highways.
Additionally, the Project would improve traffic flow and result in a reduction in air pollutant emissions.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
b.) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation?
Short- tern emissions were modeled for the construction phase of the proposed Project. Construction activities associatedwith the Project would include demolition of pavement and buildings, fine grading, trenching, paving, anddevelopmentof ancillary structures. During constructionactivities, emissionsfrom heavy equipment exhaust, delivery trucks, and fugitive dust would be generatedfor a short duration. To accurately determine the significance of air quality impacts from construction activities, construction emissions are quantified and compared to the significance thresholds set by the SCAQMD. Project - specific data, such as constructiontimelines and dimensionsof the Project site, along with general operating guidelines, were used as inputs to the SCAQMD' s California Emissions Estimator Model CalEEMOd) (version 2011.1.1) to quantify construction emissions. As shown in Table 2, emissions calculated by this model were compared to the SCAQMD' s regional significance thresholds to determine whether project emissionswould result in a significant air quality impact.
As shown in Table 2, emissions attributable to construction of the proposed Project were found to be below the significance thresholds adoptedby the SCAQMD for all the analyzed air pollutants. Because emissions were found to be below the SCAQMD' s significance thresholds, Project related constriction emissions are not consideredby the SCAQMD to result in a significant air quality impact. In addition, mitigation measuresincludedin the 1990FEIS /EIR would furtherreduceconstruction - relatedair quality impacts.

As shown in Table 3, air pollutant emissions would be less under the With- Project Alternative as opposed to the No Project Alternative due to the lower emission rates associated with higher average vehicle speeds. The SCAQMD has established significance thresholds to determine whether the operations phase of projects would result in significant impacts to regional air quality. The proposed Project would result in air pollutant emissions which are below these significance thresholds and would result in a beneficial impact on air pollutant emissions due to improvements in operational phaseefficiencies along Project roadway segmentsfor the 2015 Project opening year.
Emissionsoccurringduringthe2035designyearwerealsoquantifiedbasedon theLOS, averagevehicle speed and emission rates that would occur with and without the proposed Project. As shown in Table 4, air pollutantemissionsoccurringunderthe With- ProjectAlternativewould be lessthanunderthe No Project Alternative due to lower emission rates associated with higher average speeds. Consequently, the Proposed Project for the 2035 Project design year would likewise result in emissions which are below the SCAQMD' s significance thresholds and would result in a beneficial impact relative to greenhouse gas GHG) emissionsdue to improvements in operationalphaseefficiencies along Project roadway segments.

c.) Result in a cumulatively considerablenet increase of any criteria pollutantfor which theproject region is non - attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard including releasing emissions which exceedquantitative thresholds for ozoneprecursors) ? The SCAB is designatedby the EPA and the State asbeing nonattainment for 03, PM10, and PM2,5. In accordance with SCAQMD methodology, any project that does not exceed or can be mitigated to less thanthe daily thresholdvaluesdoesnot add significantly to a cumulativeimpact. As mentionedabove, the development of the proposed Project demonstrates that construction and operational activities would not result in emissions in excess of SCAQMD' s threshold values. Since the proposed Project would not exceed the SCAQMD' s significance thresholds for construction activities or the operations phase, the SCAQMD does not consider emissions from the Project's emissionsto add significantly to any cumulativeimpact.

The improvement in LOS would result in increases in average vehicle speed and reductions in the amount of delay vehiclesexperienceat intersectionstherebyresultingin both lower emissionsand lower emissions rates associated with higher vehicle speeds. As such, the Project would continue to result in a beneficial impact. Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzedin the 1990FEIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No additional new mitigation measures are required.
d.) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? A project could have the potential to expose sensitive receptors to elevated pollutant concentrations if it would causeor contributesubstantiallyto elevatedpollutant concentrationlevelsor placethe Projectin an area with elevated pollutant concentrations. An evaluation of air pollutant emissions as it affects local sensitive receptors has been conducted for both the construction and operations phases of the Project.
Localized Construction Impacts
Localized air pollutant emissions are evaluated relative to the exposure of local sensitive uses to air pollutant concentrations generated by the proposed Project. These are pollutant concentrations which can be directly correlatedto the health -basedambientair quality standards. This differs from regional emissionswhich were discussedpreviouslyin that regionalemissionsareusedto assesshow much air pollution is generated within an air basin and does not have a direct correlation with health effects.
Localized Significance Thresholds (LSTs) have been developedby the SCAQMD for nitrogen oxides NOx), carbon monoxide ( CO), PMIo, and PM2.5• The LSTs determine whether project - related emissions would substantially contribute to or exceed the ambient air quality standards and expose sensitive receptors to excessive concentrations of air pollutants. The LSTs differ based on distance such that a greaterallowancein air pollutant emissionsis allowed for constructionactivities occurring further from a sensitive use and a lesser allowance in emissions is given for construction activities occurring closer to sensitive uses.
Only short -termemissionsoccurringat theProjectsitefor theProject's constructionphasewereincluded to determine if sensitive receptors local to the Project site would be adversely affected. Emissions generatedby constructionactivities disperserapidly with distancefrom the constructionsite. Individual construction phases were compared against the SCAQMD' s LST significance criteria. As shown in Table 5, Projectemissionswould not exceedthe EST screeninglevel criteria for CO, nitrogendioxide (NO2), PMIO, or PM2.5. Becauseemissionsassociatedwith this alternativewould be lessthanthe LST, onsite construction emissions would not be expected to exceed the federal or California AAQS at the nearest sensitive receptors. As such, no significant air quality impacts related to localized air pollutants would occur from the construction phase.

Intersection Hot - Spots
While the proposed Project would not result in any direct sources of localized emissions due to the roadway streetlighting being powered by electricity, changesin LOS or traffic volumes due to the Project may causeindirect sourcesof localized emissions. While emissionsof motor vehicleshaveimproved due to morestringentvehicleemissionsstandardsandtheuseof cleanerburningfuels, they continueto bethe primary source of local emissions within the study area. Localized areaswhere ambient concentrations exceed national and/ or state standards for CO are known as hotspots. The SCAQMD defines typical sensitive receptors as residences, schools, playgrounds, childcare centers, athletic facilities, long -term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers, and retirement homes.
BecauseCO is producedin greatestquantitiesfrom vehicle combustionanddoesnot readily disperseinto the atmosphere, adherence to AAQS is typically demonstrated through an analysis of localized CO concentrations. Areas of vehicle congestion have the potential to create pockets of CO called " hot spots." These pockets have the potential to exceed the state one -hour standard of 20 parts per million ( ppm) or the eight - hour standard of 9 ppm. Note that the federal levels are based on one- and eight - hour standards of 35 and 9 ppm, respectively. Thus, an exceedance condition would occur based on the state standards before the federal standards.
The following intersectionswere modeled for CO hotspots as detailed in the Air Quality Assessment Report ( URS 2013a):
Bristol Street and 17"' Street
Bristol Street and Washington Avenue
As shown in Table 6, both the 1- and 8 -hour CO concentrationsat the intersectionsthat were affectedby the proposedProjectwould besubstantiallybelow the California andfederalAAQS for CO.

As discussedpreviously, the proposedProjectwould not result in air pollutant concentrationsthat exceed the SCAQMD' s LSTs for construction activities. In addition, the operations phase of the Project would not result in CO hotspots. As such, the construction and operations phases of the Project would not result in significant impacts to air quality which would expose sensitive receptors to substantial air pollutant concentrations.

3. 5 Cultural Resources
This section corresponds with Section IV - Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures, Subsection T - Cultural Resources, of the previously approved 1990 FEIS /EIR. a.) Cause a substantial adversechange in the significance of a historical resource as defined in 15064. 5?
A HistoricPropertySurveyReport (AppliedEarthworks, 2015) waspreparedfor theProjectto document identification, recordation, and evaluation efforts for architectural resources, such as buildings, structures, objects, districts, and linear features within the Project area. The Historic Property Survey Report concludeswith thefinding that noneof the propertieswithin the Area of PotentialEffect (APE) appearto meet the criterion for listing in the National Register of Historic Places or California Register of Historical Resources ( CRHR). The historic - period properties within the APE also have been evaluated in accordancewith Section 15064.5(a)(2) -(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, using the criteria outlined in Section 5024. 1 of the California Public Resources Code ( CPRC), and do not appear to be historical resources for purposes of CEQA. Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in greater impacts than previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
b.) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to 15064. 5?
Due to the limited area of disturbance, within an existing developedand urban area, and limited depth of proposed excavations, the potential to uncover archaeological resources is considered low. However, implementation of mitigation measuresas included in the previously approved 1990 FEIS/EIR would reduce impacts to archaeological resources yet uncovered or undiscovered. The proposed Project would not result in archaeologicalimpacts greaterthan previously analyzed in the 1990FEIS /EIR.
Mitigation Measures

c.) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature?
As documentedin ChapterVI, ResourcesElement, of the County of Orange GeneralPlan, the Project site is not located in an area of paleontological sensitivity. Also, the proposedProject would involve only shallow excavation. Furthermore, since the Project areais already developed, the potential for discovering paleontological resourcesduring construction is low. Soils occurring in the Project area are mostly QuaternaryAlluvium.

3. 7 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
This section corresponds with Section IV - Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures, SubsectionsH - Air Quality, andV - Construction Impacts of the 1990FEIS/EIR. a.) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment?
Greenhouse gas emissions ( GHG) were not evaluated in the 1990 FEIS/ EIR. Construction activities would consume fuel and result in the generation of GHG emissions. Construction of the Project is anticipated to occur over a one - year period. Construction - related GHG emissions would cease upon completion of the Project. Due to the length of construction activities, GHG emissions associated with construction activities are anticipated to be minimal. Because construction emissions are not substantial and would cease after completion of construction, GHG emissions would not be significant.
Furthermore, the Project proposes intersection widening of Bristol Street at 1701Street and Washington Avenue, thereforeonly carbondioxide (CO2) emissionsfrom mobile - sourcesareevaluated. Similar to the other criteria pollutants, the highest emissions would occur between 0 to 10 miles per hour ( mph) and 50 mph and above. Because the Project would improve traffic flow within the Project area, the Project would result in reducedCO2emissions. Consequently, GHG emissionsassociatedwith the Project would be less than significant.
Mitigation Measures
No mitigation measures are required.
b.) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adoptedfor the purpose of reducing the emissions ofgreenhouse gases?
The proposedProject would not conflict with applicable plans, policy, or regulations adoptedfor the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHG. The proposed Project would result in improved traffic flow, reduced vehicle idling times, and congestion. Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in new impacts to GHG.

The proposedProject would be required to comply with the NPDES program for the SantaAna Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Construction Activities
Gradingand excavationand useof hazardousmaterialsduring Project - relatedconstructionactivities would create potential sources of polluted discharge. The construction contractor is required to conforin to the requirements of the General Permit for Discharges of Storm Water Associated with Construction Activity. Pursuantto theCWA, in 2009theStateWaterQualityControlBoardissueda statewideGeneral Construction Permit for stonnwater discharges from construction sites (NPDES No. CAS000002; Order ANA 305 -011 ( PER 02) CITY OF SANTA ANA ( 01/ 19/2015) YU PAGE 43
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTADDENDUM
Bristol Street Widening Phase IIIA — Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue No. 2009 - 2009 -DWQ, amended as Order No. 2012 - 0006 -DWQ). Under this General Construction Permit, discharges of stormwater from construction sites with a disturbed area of one or more acres are requiredto either obtain individual NPDES permitsfor stormwaterdischargesor to be coveredby the General Construction Permit. In addition, BMPs specified in the Caltrans Storm Water Management Plan are also applicable. The construction contractor is required to conform to the requirements of the General NPDES Permit for Construction Activities and any subsequentGeneral Permit in effect at the time of Project construction.
As part of the statewide NPDES permit, the construction contractor would be required to implement BMPs into their construction operationsto reducepotential water quality impactsto the maximum extent practicable through preparation of a SWPPP. The General Construction Permit contains requirements that BMPs must meet, including:
Erosion Control
Erosion control, also called stabilization, is the protection of the soil surface so that soil particles do not becomedetachedby wateror wind; andtrappingsoilparticlesthatdobecomedetachedandaremovedby water or wind.
Non - Stormwater Management
Non - stormwater management is the reduction or avoidance of discharges other than stormwater, such as from cleaningof vehicles and equipment, and spills of hazardousmaterialsand hazardouswastes. Non - stormwater management includes requirements for the use and storage of hazardous substances so as to avoid spills and minimizes pollution by cleaning spills that do occur.
The SWPPP contains BMPs chosen for a project based on the specific activities that would be conducted as part of that project, and the amounts of stormwater and non- stormwater runoff that are anticipated, and the projected Risk Level. The 1990 FEIS / EIR included a mitigation measure to control stormwater runoff associated with construction activities. Impacts would be less than significant and would be similar to thoseidentified in the 1990FEIS/EIR. Moreover, the Projectwould comply with the updatedNPDES requirements, as described above.
Operational Phase
VehiculartravelalongtheimprovedProjectcorridorhasthepotentialto degradewaterquality, including increases in such pollutants as oil, gasoline, grease, lead, and dust. Discharge from the Project site to stormwater facilities would consist of non -point sources. Stormwater quality is generally affected by the length of time since the last rainfall, rainfall intensity, urban uses of the area, and the quantity of transported sediments. Typical urban water quality pollutants usually result from motor vehicle operations, oil and greaseresidue. The majority of pollutant loads are usually washedaway during the first flush of the storm occurring after the dry seasonperiod. Due to the nature of the proposed Project, occurring within an existing developed area, Project impacts are not considered adverse. Therefore, impacts to water quality would be similar to those identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation Measures
No new additional mitigation measures are required.
b.) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of' the local groundwater table level (e.g., theproduction rate ofpre- existing nearby wells would drop to a level that would not support existing land usesor planned usesfor which permits have beengranted)?

The proposed Project would not result in impacts beyond those identified in the 1990 Final EIS/ EIR in this regard, and does not have the potential to degrade the environment, reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, threaten plant or animal communities, reduce or restrict endangered plant or animal speciesor eliminate important examplesof major periods of California history or prehistory. b.) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewedin connection with the effectsofpast projects, the effectsof other current projects, and the effects ofprobable future proiects)?
Given the nature and scope of the proposed Project, and in consideration of mitigation measures that are included in the 1990FEIS /EIR, theProjectwould not involve impactsthat arecumulatively considerable. c.) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
Construction - related activities are anticipated to have somerelatively minor, temporary impacts which can be mitigated with implementation of measures included in the 1990 FEIS / EIR. Furthermore, potential long -term ( operational) impacts would be reduced to less than significant levels through implementation of required mitigation measures.

BristolStreetWideningPhaseIIIB — WashingtonAvenuetoI7 Street Modified Initial Study Checklist
The following Modified Initial StudyChecklistis basedon theCalifornia EnvironmentalQuality Act CEQA) Initial Study Checklist. It is modified to evaluatethe proposedProjectchangesfor which environmental impact reports /statements have previously been completed to assist in the determination of the need for supplemental environmental documents, in this case, a Subsequent or Supplemental EIS /EIR or an Addendum under Public Resources Code 21166 and Guideline Sections 15162, 15163, and 15164, respectively. For purposesof this study, referencesto "theproposal' in the left hand column questions refer to the modifications to the Project ( proposed Project) as compared the Project improvements evaluated in the 1990 FEIS/ EIR.
The first four columns to the right of the modified checklist questions identify whether the proposed Project changes would result in new impacts, and if so whether these impacts would be less than significant, less than significant after mitigation, or significant.
The fifth column asks whether or not the impacts associated with Project changes, if any, were sufficiently disclosedin thepreviousenvironmentaldocuments (Not Addressed).
Finally, the last column indicateswhetheror not a Subsequentor SupplementalEIR is needed.
Moreover, a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR would be needed if there were new significant unmitigatedor substantiallymore severeimpactswhich would result from the Projectchangesand which were not sufficiently disclosed in the previous environmental documents.
Discussion in support of the conclusions indicated on the checklist is provided in Chapter 3.
