SUBJECT: INITIAL ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY FOR SUPERIOR AVENUE WIDENING AND REALIGNMENT
Dear Don:
LSA is pleased to submit this proposal to prepare an expanded Initial
Study for the proposed realignment and widening of Superior Avenue. The primary
purpose of this study is to identify potential adverse impacts on the environment
and to suggest necessary mitigation measures. If the study concludes that the
proposed project including any recommended mitigation measures will not have a
significant effect on the environment, then a negative declaration may be issued.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
LSA will address the following potential environmental issues:.
1. Soils /Geology. Existing studies on adjacent sites will be reviewed,
and potential impacts identified. Potential mitigation measures will
include recommendations for detailed on -site studies which may be
required during project engineering phases.
2. Grading. The proposed project will include a significant amount of
grading. The amount of cut and fill (if any) will be quantified.
Potential disposal sites and haul routes for surplus cut will be
discussed. This will include possible disposal on adjacent sites
including the parcel containing the existing roadway.
The aesthetic impacts of the proposed grading will be analysed.
Alternative grading plans will be discussed and landscape plans
will be reviewed.
Our analysis will be based on grading concepts and grading plans to
be prepared by the project engineer.
3. Land Use. Existing and proposed land uses on adjacent sites will be
identified, and potential impacts on those land uses will be analysed.
4. Traffic. A complete traffic analysis will be prepared by Basmaciyan-
Don Webb
July 24, 1979
Page 2
Darrell, Inc. Data on existing conditions including traffic
volumes, roadway capacities, accident rates, and roadway con-
ditions will be collected. The data will be analysed and major
constraints and deficiencies identified. The proposed project
will be reviewed with regard to adopted circulation plans and
future roadway projects in the vicinity. Project related im-
pacts including access to adjacent parcels, impacts on adjacent
streets, and construction impacts will be reviewed, and mitiga-
tion measures proposed. Finally, graphics will be prepared show-
ing the existing intersection, the interim intersection which,
will exist following the widening of Coast Highway.
In addition to preparing the traffic analysis, the consultant
will review and discuss the project with Caltrans as necessary.
5. Air Quality. An air quality analysis will be prepared in a
format acceptable to Caltrans and the AQMD. This analysis will
include a review of potential carbon monoxide concentration
based on the CALINE II dispersion model and the EMFAC 5 emis-
sion factor generation mode.
6. Noise. A noise analysis will be prepared in a format acceptable
to Caltrans and the State clearinghouse. The analysis will model
existing and projected noise levels and identify areas which may
be significantly impacted.
7. Archaeology and Paleontology. Archaeological and paleontological
surveys will be conducted in a manner acceptable to the State Of-
fice of Historical Preservation. These surveys will include a
records search and a field survey. Mitigation measures will be
recommended for any resources which are discovered within the pro-
ject area.
B. Drainage: Drainage and runoff from the new roadway will be reviewed.
Particular attention will be paid to the adequacy of drainage fac-
ilities on the northerly side of Coast Highway, and to water quality
impacts on Newport Bay. This analysis will be based on information
to be supplied by the project engineer.
SCHEDULE
LSA can complete this study within six (6) weeks of authorization to pro-
ceed provided that all of the information requested from the project engineer is
received at least three (3) weeks prior to the due date. This schedule will al-
low the city to complete the environmental requirements for this project by
December, 1979.
