FCS will also make revisions to ensure that the Administrative Draft EIR reflects current <br />CEQA guidance, regulatory databases, and modeling practices. Specifically, the following work will be <br />required to update the Administrative Draft EIR: <br />The Project Description and associated graphics will be revised to reflect the updated site plan. All other <br />sections of the Administrative Draft EIR will be reviewed and appropriate edits made. <br />Air Quality/GHG — Air quality emissions will be remodeled to utilize the latest version of CalEEMOd <br />and account for new BAAQMD thresholds and 2022 Scoping Plan updates. The results of the re- <br />modeling will be incorporated into the Air Quality/GHG analysis in the EIR. <br />Biology — FCS will review the applicant -provided BRA for adequacy and will confirm whether the <br />methodologies used as well as the analysis and recommendations/conclusions are adequate for <br />use in the preparation of the EIR. FCS will identify any scope refinements or additional technical <br />analysis is required. <br />Cultural — FCS understands a Historic Resource Evaluation was prepared for the property by Ward <br />Hill, and Phase I Archaeological Resources Assessment was prepared by the Basin Research <br />Associates. FCS assumes these studies will remain sufficient and adequate, and that only updates <br />to the CHRIS and NAHC records searches will be required. FCS will also request that the UC <br />Berkeley Museum of Paleontology (UCMP) conduct a records search for the property, the results <br />of which will be included in the Geology section of the EIR. <br />Geology and Soils — Ninyo & Moore, previously subcontracted on this project, will review readily <br />available published regional maps and reports regarding geology and geologic hazards which may <br />impact the project site; review the geotechnical and geologic aspects of the referenced <br />background documents pertaining to the proposed development that have been provided for <br />review as well as the previous Ninyo & Moore review in 2019; and prepare a letter to summarize <br />the geotechnical peer review. <br />Hazards — FCS will perform an updated radius search to determine the presence of previously <br />unidentified underground storage tanks or hazardous materials sites. <br />Hydrology — Balance Hydrologics engineers will review the project proponent's <br />hydrology/stormwater management report and supporting calculations and modeling for <br />consistency with pertinent regulatory requirements including those from the City, Alameda Clean <br />Water Program, Alameda County Zone 7 Flood Control, and the San Francisco Bay Regional Water <br />Quality Control Board and will evaluate the proposed stormwater control plan to ensure <br />NORTH AMERICA I EUROPE I AFRICA I AUSTRALIA I ASIA <br />FIRSTCARBONSOLUTI ONS.COM <br />
