' 3300 Newport Boulevard Newport Beach, California 92660 t 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.
