Ms. Rachel Juba April 14, 2025 Page 3 Potential Contamination Assessment Available studies and desktop data will be reviewed to assess the potential for contaminated materials or hazardous waste within the Study Area. This will include the potential for encountering contamination during construction as well as handling hazardous materials that may be stored onsite during or following construction. Fish, Wildlife, Plant Communities, and Sensitive Ecological Resources Assessment Information from desktop analysis will be used to assess the potential for the Project to impact these resources and identify any necessary mitigation measures. This will include a review of both state and federally protected species and potential habitat. No onsite surveys are proposed with this task. Historic Properties and Visual Impact Assessment Information from the State Historical Preservation O ffice, Office of the State Archeologist, and other readily available public data will be used to determine if there is potential to impact culturally significant or historic properties, parks, or if there will be visual impacts to the surrounding viewshed. This task does not include a Phase I Cultural Resource Study nor on- site survey. Based on our understanding of the site and proposed development, we do not expect there will be visual impacts per the AUAR guidelines. Noise Analysis The AUAR will include a desktop assessment of potential noise impacts resulting from the Project. A detailed noise study is not proposed. Air Quality, Climate Resiliency, and Greenhouse Gas Assessment WSB will provide a climate adaptation and resiliency assessment and greenhouse gas (GHG) and carbon footprint assessment. These assessments will use publicly available information to evaluate the sustainability, climate adaptation, and resilience implications of the Project and assess the potential GHG impact per guidance from the Environmental Quality Board (EQB). These impacts may include temperature, heat islands, precipitation, flood risk, cooling degree days, and other potential sources of vulnerability including socio-economic risks. The GHG analysis will consider Scopes 1 (energy and emissions produced by development), 2 (energy and emissions produced for development), and 3 (supply chain emissions), as well as emissions type. Best practices and experience drawn from other projects will also inform the analysis. Cumulative Potential Impacts WSB will review other recent past or reasonably foreseeable future projects within proximity to the AUAR Study Area and determine whether those projects could combine with development within the Study Area and result in cumulative potential effects. This s ection will also outline whether any cumulative potential effects can be reasonably planned for and mitigated, or whether they would combine to create a significant environmental impact. Final AUAR and Mitigation Plan This task will involve revising the AUAR document and mitigation plan based on the comments received during the 30-day review process and responding to these comments. This task assumes that the comments will not require additional significant analysis as part of the AUAR. This task assumes one round of review by City staff and one document revision based on City comments.
