FIRSTCARBON Letter <br /> SOLUTIONS Proposal <br /> FCS INTERNATIONAL,INC <br /> regulations and policies/programs in the City of Pleasanton General Plan and any proposed policies <br /> included in the Housing Element update and other features that reduce air quality and GHG emissions <br /> impacts. For impacts identified as potentially significant, FCS will propose mitigation measures to reduce, <br /> minimize or avoid the impact. FCS will provide a significance finding before and after mitigation for all <br /> potential impacts. <br /> Subtask 4.2: Biological Resources Analysis <br /> FCS Biologists will prepare an analysis of biological resources that will be incorporated directly into the <br /> Program EIR.The Biological Resource section will include (1)a discussion of potentially occurring <br /> biological resources; (2) a program-level analysis of constraints and potential program-related impacts; <br /> and (3)a discussion proposing program-level mitigation measures. <br /> The discussion of potentially occurring biological resources will be based on a desktop-level review of all <br /> available information, including documentation and databases maintained by the East Alameda County <br /> Conservation Strategy(EACCS), California Department of Fish and Wildlife, United States Fish and <br /> Wildlife Service, and the California Native Plant Society. Biological resources analyzed will include <br /> special-status plant and animal species and their habitats, sensitive natural communities,and aquatic <br /> resources including potentially jurisdictional wetlands and other waters. <br /> The program-level analysis of constraints and potential program-related impacts will be based on <br /> potentially occurring biological resources identified and will include an analysis of anticipated impacts on <br /> a conceptual level. <br /> Program-level mitigation measures designed to reduce biological resources impacts will be proposed <br /> where appropriate, consistent with the guidance of the EACCS. Both an evaluation of the potential <br /> mitigation measures and a discussion of their effectiveness will be provided.The information will be <br /> incorporated directly into the Biological Resources section of the Program EIR.This Scope of Work does <br /> not include field surveys,delineations, or preparation of a stand-alone Biological Resources Assessment. <br /> Subtask 4.3: Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources Analyses <br /> City of Pleasanton contains a number of significant cultural resources, including historic period buildings, <br /> archaeological sites, and historic ranching sites. Additionally,there are known Native American Tribal <br /> Cultural Resources (TCRs)within the City and a high potential for as yet undiscovered resources, <br /> especially in proximity to creeks,streams, and other waterways. Building on previous studies, FCS will <br /> conduct an analysis of potential impacts to cultural and historic resources in the program area, <br /> considering the mitigating effects of existing regulations and policies/programs in the City of Pleasanton <br /> General Plan and any proposed policies included in the Housing Element update. Given that project-level <br /> details have yet to be determined, at this stage,a regulatory-level assessment will be conducted that will <br /> focus solely on potential impacts relating to anticipated land use and zoning changes. <br /> NORTH AMERICA I EUROPE I AFRICA I AUSTRALIA I ASIA 9 <br /> FIRSTCARBONSOLUTIONS.COM <br />
