31 Scope of Work
Scope of Work
Task 1 -Kickoff Meeting
Within one week of receiving the Notice to Proceed, ESA's Management Team will schedule and conduct an
initial kickoff meeting with the City staff and the applicant team. ESA will prepare a meeting agenda prior to the
meeting, and will disseminate meeting minutes within a week after the kickoff meeting. The purpose of the
meeting will be to:
> Review the agreed upon scope of work for the proposed project and establish team roles and clear lines of
communication between the City, ESA, and the applicant and their consultants.
> Establish procedures for communication, product review and task completion.
> Obtain any additional relevant plans, technical reports, ordinances, and studies.
> Provide a list of data needs to the applicant.
> Establish a mutual understanding of the key issues to be addressed in the EIR, and delve into project-
related issues.
> Discuss the project description and objectives as well as possible project alternatives.
> Identify a project schedule and key milestones, including delivery of and review of technical studies.
ESA understands that prior to the start of the environmental documentation process, we will provide a
memorandum to City staff identifying our software and programs that we propose to use for data collection,
documentation and mapping. We will use these software and programs after City staff confirms compatibility
with the City's systems. For all document deliverables, ESA will provide print quality PDFs, web ready PDFs,
and/or editable files depending on the deliverable.
Deliverables:
• Prepare project kickoff meeting agenda.
• Attend project kickoff meeting at City of Diamond Bar.
• Prepare project kickoff meeting minutes.
• Provide a memorandum on software and programs to be used during the environmental documentation
process.
Task 2-Project Description
The formulation of a working description for the project and alternatives is critical to a successful EIR process.
ESA will work closely with City staff to prepare a clear and complete Project Description that articulates the
components of the project as well as the project objectives. ESA will assist City staff in determining the
adequacy of the application materials that were submitted by the project applicant in December 2019 to the
City. The adequacy review will be focused on the details of the project. Based on the information provided by
the applicant and the City, ESA will prepare a description that will clearly describe the components of the
project as well as the timing of each of the project phases in a manner that threads through the EIR analysis. It is
important that the Project Description effectively identify project components that will not be fully defined, but
it is intended to provide a range of land use types and/or size options at the time of the EIR publication.
10 esassoc.com
3 I Scope of Work
Effectively disclosing these parameters is important to the public's confidence in the analysis, the legal
adequacy of the EIR, and the applicant's flexibility in its development over time.
The Project Description will include a regional and local setting, project history, project objectives of the City as
well as the applicant, and characteristics of the project features. The description will also include the intended
uses of the EIR (as required by Section 15124(d) of the State CEQA Guidelines), including a list of responsible,
trustee, and other agencies expected to use the EIR in decision making. A list of approvals for which the EIR will
be used will also be provided.
ESA will finalize the draft Project Description within two weeks after the kickoff meeting, assuming all of the
adequate Project Description details are provided at that time.
Deliverable:
• Submit one electronic copy of the draft Project Description.
Task 3-Native American Outreach and Consultation
ESA will assist the City with Native American consultation as required by Assembly Bill (AB) 52 in order to
identify tribal cultural resources (as defined by PRC Section 21074) and in accordance with PRC Sections
21080.3.1, 21080.3.2, and 21082.3. ESA will request a Sacred Lands File search from the California Native
American Heritage Commission in order to solicit information on sensitive or undocumented traditional/cultural
sites within or in the vicinity of the project. ESA will draft initial consultation letters notifying California Native
American Tribes that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the project site (as
defined in PRC Section 21073) and who have requested in writing to be informed by the City (in accordance with
PRC Section 21080.3.1(b)). The letters will provide an overview of the project, a map depicting the project site
(generated by ESA), and contact information for the primary City contact. The letters will indicate that the Tribe
has 30 days from receipt of the letter to request consultation. ESA assumes that no more than seven Tribes will
require notification, and that the letters will be sent out on City letterhead via certified mail with return receipt
requested (or another acceptable method to track date of receipt).
To assist City staff in conducting a successful AB 52 Consultation, ESA will provide instructions related to the
consultation meeting(s) and documentation of the consultation. We have not included attendance at the
consultation meetings within this scope of work. If the City requests our attendance, a scope and cost augment
can be provided.
Deliverables:
• Obtain a Sacred Lands File search from the California Native American Heritage Commission.
• Mail tribal consultation letters to up to seven Native American Tribes .
• Provide the City with instructions for a successful AB 52 consultation.
Task 4 -Technical Reports
Task 4A-ESA Technical Reports/Evaluations
Ai r Quality Evaluation
The air quality analysis will assess the potential air quality impacts that may arise from implementation of the
proposed project. The proposed project consists of the construction of 11 single-family homes. The construction
Febru ar y 6, 2020 City of Diamond Bar I Crooked Creek Subdivision EIR
environme ntal science associat es
1 1
3 I Scope of Work
activities at the project site along with long-term project operation would result in emissions of criteria air
pollutants (such as particulate matter, and ozone precursors), toxic air contaminants (TACs), and odorous
compounds. As the project site is located within the South Coast Air Basin (Basin), which is under the local
jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), the air quality analysis will be
conducted in accordance with the procedures and methodologies set forth in the SCAQMD's CEQA Air Quality
Handbook .
The air quality impact assessment will include an evaluation of the proposed project's conformance with the
most recent air quality management plan for the Basin. The estimated construction and operational regional
emissions for the project will be quantified using the most recent version of the California Emissions Estimator
Model (CalEEMod) and evaluated against the applicable SCAQMD thresholds of significance to determine
whether potential air quality impacts would result. The calculation of the project's construction emissions will
be based on the amount and types of construction equipment that would be employed at the project site under
each phase of the proposed construction scenario. ESA will work with the City and the Applicant to ensure that
the maximum (worst-case) daily construction emissions under each construction scenario is captured and
presented in the air quality analysis. With regard to operational emissions, the project's mobile-source
emissions will be estimated based, in part, on data provided in the traffic study that will be prepared for the
project. Overall, the estimated construction and operational regional emissions for the project will be quantified
and evaluated against the applicable SCAQMD thresholds of significance. The analysis will identify appropriate
mitigation measures to minimize the project's air quality impacts, as necessary.
As recommended by SCAQMD, both the construction and operational impact analyses will include an
assessment of the project's possible effect on local air quality (including localized carbon monoxide, nitrogen
dioxide, and fine particulate matter) concentrations. The local air quality analysis will be conducted in
accordance with SCAQMD's localized significance thresholds methodology.
Furthermore, impacts associated with localized carbon monoxide hotspots at nearby study intersections to the
project site will be assessed qualitatively as well. Potential odor emissions associated with the project, which
would occur primarily during temporary construction activities at the site, will also be addressed qualitatively in
the analysis. Appropriate mitigation measures will be identified to reduce the project's air quality impacts,
where necessary.
ESA will prepare additional assessments of direct impacts from project construction and operation. Diesel
particulate matter, recognized as a carcinogen by the State of California, would emitted directly from
construction equipment exhaust. A construction health risk assessment (HRA) will focus on chronic carcinogenic
and non-carcinogenic risks in accordance with guidelines developed by the California Office of Environmental
Health Hazard Assessment and SCAQMD. Due to the nature of the proposed use, it is not anticipated that project
operations would consist of sources of toxic air contaminants. Therefore, operational health risks would be
discussed qualitatively. If necessary, ESA will identify mitigation measures, including but not limited to
performance standards to be met by the construction team to reduce off-site health risks.
This scope assumes that a separate technical report will not be prepared. Project assumptions and model
outputs will be attached as a part of the EIR appendix materials.
Cultural Resources Survey
ESA will address potential impacts to cultural resources, including historic, archaeological and paleontological
resources, in support of the EIR. The project site is located within an undeveloped area. Surrounding land uses
include single-family residences constructed in the mid-1960s to the west and northwest, single-family
12 esassoc.com
3 I Scope of Work
residences constructed in the early 1980s to the east and northeast, and vacant land to the south. The Brea
Canyon flood control channel is located to the west. A preliminary review of historic maps and aerial
photographs indicates that the project site has always been undeveloped, and that the Brea Canyon channel
was historically a naturally flowing water course prior to channelization in the mid-1960s . Preliminary review of
geologic maps indicates that the project site is underlain by the Monterey Formation, which has a high
sensitivity for paleontological resources beginning at surface.
ESA will conduct a cultural resources assessment that identifies known archaeological and paleontological
resources, as well as the potential for encountering unknown subsurface resources during construction. Since
the single-family residences and Brea Canyon flood control channel to the west and northwest of the project
site were constructed in the mid-1960s and meet the California Office of Historic Preservation's 45-year age
threshold for consideration as historical resources under CEQA, the assessment will also address the potential
for indirect impacts to adjacent historic resources . ESA's scope of work includes the following tasks.
Records Search-ESA will conduct a records search at the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) to
identify previous cultural resources investigations and previously recorded archaeological resources within the
project site and a 0.5-mile radius, and historic architectural resources within a 0.25-mile radius of the project
site. A paleontological records check will be conducted at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County
(LACM) to identify the potential for fossil-sensitive formations to be impacted by the project. Geologic and soils
maps, and available geotechnical studies will also be reviewed. ESA assumes that the geotechnical evaluation
that was prepared for the previously approved project on the project site will be provided by the City, that
expedited records search will not be necessary, and that records search fees will not exceed $1,250.
Field Survey -ESA will conduct a field survey of the 12 .9-acre project site to identify cultural resources that may
be directly or indirectly impacted by the project. The survey will be conducted by a team of two (one
archaeologist and one paleontologist). All resources identified within the project site during the survey will be
documented and mapped . The adjacent residential streets (Castle Rock Road, Crooked Creek Road, Gold Rush
Drive, and Running Branch Road) will be photographed as part of the survey to assist in the indirect effect
analysis. ESA assumes that no cultural resources will be encountered within the project site as part of the
survey. ESA also assumes that adjacent historic-aged residences and the Brea Canyon flood control channel will
not be documented, and that there will be no direct impacts to these potential resources.
Report Preparation-ESA will prepare a Cultural Resources Assessment Report documenting the methods and
results of the assessment. The report will provide environmental, historic, and cultural contexts for the p roject
site and vicinity; outline the regulatory framework within which impacts to cultural resources will be analyzed;
present the methods and results of the archival research and survey; and summarize the results of the desktop
geo-archaeological review. The report will also provide an assessment of the archaeological sensitivity of the
project site and the potential to encounter subsurface prehistoric or historic-period archaeological resources
during construction, and will also address the potential for indirect effects to adjacent historic resources. The
report findings will include recommendations for additional work or mitigation measures, if any are deemed
necessary. A copy of the final report will be filed with the SCCIC. The results of the paleontological resources
assessment will be documented in a brief Paleontological Resources Assessment Report. The report will contain
the geological and regulatory context, the methods and results of the research and survey, and will provide
recommendations for additional work or mitigation measures, if any are deemed necessary. The findings of
both reports will be summarized under the cultural resources section of the environmental document.

3 I Scope of Work
Biological Resources Survey
ESA will address potential impacts to biological resources including plant and wildlife species, habitat and
native trees. ESA has conducted a preliminary review of the project's Biological Resources Assessment prepared
by LSA dated July 2019 . While ESA believes the LSA assessment addresses many of the potential biological
resources issues, our recent experience in preparing the biological assessment for the City's general plan update
EIR compels us to expand the analysis. Following are the tasks that will be performed to adequately address
potential impacts to biological impacts on the project site.
Literature Review-Although the LSA assessment included a review of state and federal data source sites, ESA
will review the most current versions of these to complete an updated methodology. ESA will also review the
Los Angeles County Se.nsitive Bird Species Working Group list of birds that are considered sensitive at the county
level and e-bird records available on the internet.
Site Inspection-ESA biologists will conduct a general biological survey and habitat assessment of the project
site to identify the biological resources including the presence of sensitive natural communities and/or the
presence of habitats that could support sensitive, endangered, or threatened plant and wildlife species. Any
plant or animal species observed during this survey that are not listed in the LSA assessment will be provided as
an appendix to the EIR.
In addition, the veracity of the vegetation map included in the LSA assessment will be confirmed or the map will
be modified as appropriate. In accordance with industry-accepted standards in California, the EIR discussion
will address vegetation types in terms of their natural community alliances and associations following the
classification system of A Manual of California Vegetation by J.O. Sawyer, T. Keeler-Wolf and J.M. Evens (2009).
It is also highly recommended that a tree survey be conducted for all native trees on the property such that the
EIR may fully disclose impacts to trees protected under the city municipal code and oak and woodlands. This
scope of work includes conducting a tree survey on the project site. A survey of all trees on the property
including those that will be conserved will be conducted.
The LSA assessment included a list of special-status plant species identified as potentially occurring or known to
occur in the project vicinity . The status of these species will be cross-checked with records obtained in the
process of preparing the general plan update EIR biological analysis. In particular, special-status plant species
that bloom in the fall will be reconciled with site conditions .
Greenhouse Gas Assessrnent
The proposed project will generate GHG emissions during construction and operations that could have an
impact on the environment.
The GHG assessment for the proposed project will evaluate the potential impacts associated with the project's
generation of GHG emissions during construction and operations. GHG emissions attributable to the project will
be estimated forthe following sources: construction, area sources, mobile sources, energy consumption
(electricity and natural gas), water consumption, wastewater generation, and solid waste generation, consistent
with the recommendation by the Governor's Office of Planning and Research in its Technical Advisory: CEQA and
Climate Change (2008). Construction-and operations-related GHG emissions will be quantified using .the most
recent version of the CalEEMod computer model. Since neither the City nor SCAQM D have adopted a threshold
of significance that would be applicable to the project, the GHG assessment will evaluate the project's emissions
in the context of the state and local setting, and using the proposed SCAQMD thresholds as appropriate for the
project.
14 esassoc.com
3 I Scope of Work
Furthermore, the project's GHG emissions will also be discussed with respect to the goals and recommended
actions of the state's Climate Change Scoping Plan and other applicable state regulations as well as the City's
Climate Action Plan. If it is determined that the project would need to include design features/mitigation
measures to reduce GHG emissions, ESA will work with the City and the Applicant to identify all applicable
measures.
This scope assumes that a separate technical report will not be prepared. Project assumptions and model
outputs will be attached as a part ofthe EIR appendix materials.
Noise Assessment
Implementation of the proposed project could result in an increase in noise levels within the areas surrounding
the project site during construction as well as during project operations. Additionally, potential vibration
impacts on the immediate surrounding land uses may occur during project construction from the operation of
heavy-duty construction equipment. Nearby sensitive receptors (such as residential use) may be adversely
impacted by increased noise levels from project construction and operations. As part of the project impact
assessment, ESA will evaluate the potential construction and operational noise impacts on the nearby sensitive
uses resulting from the project and develop necessary mitigation measures to minimize the identified noise
impacts on these receptors .
The first step in quantifying the impact a particular project may have on the existing noise environment is
identifying the baseline noise conditions. ESA will conduct up to four short-term ambient noise level
measurements in the project site vicinity using sound level meters that satisfy the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) for general environmental noise measurement instrumentation .
Construction noise levels at the nearest sensitive receptors will be estimated using the Federal Highway
Administration's (FHWA) Roadway Construction Noise Model (RCNM) and based on the type of construction
equipment that will potentially be used , the amount of activity that would occur, and the distance that sensitive
receptors are from the project site (information to be provided by the Applicant team). The potential
construction noise impacts of the project will be evaluated against the applicable noise criteria established in
the City of Diamond Bar's General Plan Noise Element and Municipal Code. Potential vibration impacts
associated with construction activities will also be analyzed using vibration data provided by the Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) for different pieces of construction equipment. If significant noise and vibration impacts on
nearby sensitive land uses are determined, appropriate mitigation measures will be identified to reduce these
impacts.
During operation of the proposed project, increases in noise levels in the project site vicinity would result from
vehicle trips traveling to and from the project site. As such, ESAs noise assessment will conduct traffic noise
modeling using the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Traffic Noise Model to estimate the future traffic
noise levels on the nearby roadways to the project site to evaluate the noise impact on the existing land uses
located in the project site vicinity. The. future project-related traffic noise level increases at existing noise-
sensitive uses fronting the local roadways in the projectvicinity will then be reviewed against the applicable City
noise exposure criteria to determine whether significant noise impacts would occur. If required, appropriate
mitigation measures will be identified to reduce these noise impacts.
This scope assumes that a separate technical report will not be prepared. Project assumptions and model
outputs will be attached as a part of the EIR appendix materials.

Executive Summary
The Executive Summary will include a brief synopsis of the proposed project and project objectives, necessary
actions by the City of Diamond Bar in order to approve the proposed project or issue discretionary permits,
areas of controversy/issues to be resolved, a description of the intent of the MMRP, and an overview of project
alternatives. This chapter will also summarize (in table format) environmental impacts that would result from
implementation of the proposed project, including the level of significance of impacts prior to the incorporation
of mitigation measures, if applicable; proposed mitigation measures that would avoid or reduce project-related
impacts; and the level of significance of impacts after the incorporation of mitigation measures.
Project Description
The information for this chapter will be obtained from Task 2-Project Description. It will be prepared
consistent with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15124 and will provide a detailed description of the proposed
project, including its location, site history, and project background; existing site and land use characteristics;
project objectives; anticipated construction schedule and activities; intended uses of the EIR; and project
approval requirements. Additionally, the Project Description will identify the necessary approvals required for
the development of the proposed project.
Cumulative Projects Identification
ESA will describe the reasonably foreseeable projects that have been identified in the technical studies prepared
by the applicant's consultants (such as the traffic study and hydrology/drainage report). ESA will work closely
with City staff to ensure the EIR is prepared at the appropriate level of detail and pertinent projects are
evaluated. We assume the City will provide information on all reasonably anticipated projects as well as
projected growth to ESA so cumulative projects can be adequately addressed. Potential cumulative impacts will
be discussed for each technical issue.
Effects Found Not to Be Significant
ESA will describe effects found not to be significant, in accordance with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15128, by
listing them with brief explanations of why they are not significant. Based on a review of the proposed project
and conditions on-and off-site, ESA assumes the following environmental issues areas could be justifiably
"scoped out" of the EIR.
> Agriculture
> Mineral Resources
> Population/Housing
These issues will be discussed in the Initial Study and supporting evidence is expected to be provided to identify
that the proposed project would result in no impacts or less than significant impacts associated with these three
issue areas.
Introduction to the Environmental Analysis
This chapter is introduced by describing the scope and format of the environmental analysis, specifying that
each environmental issue area will contain a description of the environmental setting (or existing conditions),
regulatory framework, thresholds of significance used to determine the nature or magnitude of environmental
impacts, analytical methodology, project-related and cumulative impacts, and feasible mitigation measures
that would avoid or minimize significant environmental impacts.

Guidelines Appendix G.
Aesthetics
An aesthetics analysis with applicant-prepared visual
simulations will be prepared by ESA (previously described
under Task 4) and will serve as the foundation of the
aesthetics/visual information to be included in the EIR. ESA will
include a discussion of the existing conditions, regulatory environment, thresholds of significance that were
used for the evaluation, the impact analysis (both project and cumulative), the recommended mitigation
measures, and the level of significance after mitigation. The visual simulations will be included as figures within
the aesthetics section of the EIR.
Air Qual it y
An air quality evaluation will be prepared by ESA (previously
described under Task 4) and will serve as the foundation of the
air quality information to be included in the EIR. ESA will include
a discussion of the existing conditions, regulatory environment,
thresholds of significance that were used for the evaluation, the impact analysis (both project and cumulative),
the recommended mitigation measures, and the level of significance after mitigation. The air quality modeling
information will be included as an appendix to the EIR.
Biological Resources
ESA will peer review the Biological Resources Technical Report
previously prepared by LSA, which will serve as the foundation
of the biological resources section of the EIR. ESA will
incorporate the information from the biological resources
report, as well as from our supplemental findings (including the tree survey), into the EIR.
ESA will summarize the existing conditions, regulatory environment, thresholds of significance that were used
for the study, the impact analysis (both project and cumulative), the recommended mitigation measures, and
the level of significance after mitigation. The section will be prepared according to accepted scientific and
technical standards consistent with requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and all
other pertinent reviewing agencies and organizations. Of note, the mitigation measures will include those
included in the general plan update EIR that are relevant. ESA will incorporate relevant exhibits prepared for the
study into the EIR. The Biological Resources Technical Report will be included as an appendix to the EIR.

31 Scope of Work
Geology and Soils
According to the RFP, a geotechnical evaluation will be
conducted by the Applicant for the project on the project site .
According to the City, the City's hired consultants will provide a
technical peer review of the evaluation. ESA assumes that the
evaluation adequately addresses the potential geotechnical
hazards such as fault rupture, seismic ground shaking, landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction,
collapse, and expansive soil. ESA will summarize the existing conditions, regulatory environment, and
thresholds of significance that were used for the previous evaluation. ESA will review the impact analysis (both
project and cumulative), recommended mitigation measures, and level of significance after mitigation to
determine if they are applicable to the proposed project. If the information is not, then a general assessment of
potential impacts and mitigation measures will be provided.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The GHG Emissions evaluation prepared by ESA (previously
described under Task 4) will serve as the foundation of the GHG
emissions information to be included in the EIR. ESA will
include a discussion of the existing conditions, regulatory
environment, thresholds of significance that were used for the evaluation, the impact analysis (both project and
cumulative), the recommended mitigation measures, and the level of significance after mitigation. This section
will also include a discussion of the City's Climate Action Plan. The greenhouse gas emissions modeling
information will be included as an appendix to the EIR.
Hazards and .Hazardous Materials /Wildfire
City staff identified that a previous hazardous materials evaluation has been conducted for the project site.
Given that the previous hazardous materials evaluation was prepared more than 10 years ago, ESA will update
the record search. ESA will review reasonably ascertainable records to determine if the project site is included
on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. Records to be
reviewed include: federal and state regulatory agency lists of hazardous waste generators, including the
"Cortese List ", leaking underground storage tanks (USTs), landfills, military reservations, contaminated surface
waters, and Superfund sites. These lists will also be reviewed to assess whether there were prior investigations
or events and conditions, or institutional or engineering controls on the property and in the immediate vicinity,
relating to spills, discharges, or other activities resulting in contamination or presence of hazardous materials.
ESA will research historical information sources to develop a history of general types of previous uses of the site
and surrounding area . The review may also include discretionary physical setting sources, e.g. for geologic and
hydrogeologic information. This information may provide insight to the significance of offsite sources of
contamination in relation to the site. Where discretionary hydrogeologic information is available and rev iewed,
where possible, we will estimate the regional direction of groundwater flow and discuss how this might affect
the potential for identified offsite sources of contamination to impact the site.
ESA will perform a reconnaissance of the site to observe its current use with the unaided eye, and thereby
obtain information indicating the likelihood of identifying evidence of hazardous materials or hazardous
conditions in connection with the project site. The site reconnaissance will inspect the site for evidence of
materials suggesting hazardous materials or waste, discolored soil or water due to chemical spills, stressed
vegetation due to chemical spills and underground storage tanks. Locations with visibly obvious oil staining will
be photographed. The periphery of the site will be viewed from all adjacent public thoroughfares.

31 Scope of Work
In addition to determining the presence of hazardous materials on the project site, ESA will also address
hazards such as airport safety hazards and emergency response plans. Based on our review of the California
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) Fire Hazard Severity Zones. CalFire has designated the
project site within a Local Responsibility Area and classified the site as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. In
accordance with the CEQA Guidelines, a fire hazards evaluation will be required to address the Wildfire
threshold questions. ESA assumes that the Applicant will initiate the preparation of the evaluation, and ESA
would incorporate the documentation within the EIR.
Hydrology and Water Quality
Based on a review of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps for the
project site, ESA understands that a project is designated as an
area determined to be outside the 100-year flood plain. Thus, the
potential for the project site to experience flooding is relatively
low and is not designated as a flood hazard area.
After our CEQA Adequacy review in Task 4 of the Hydrology/Hydraulics Report prepared by the project
applicant's consultants, ESA will incorporate the information into the EIR. ESA assumes that the report will
include information that addresses all of the potential hydrological and water quality issues addressed in
Section IX, Hydrology and Water Quality, iri Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines as well as in the California
State Water Resources Control Board's MS4 Permit. The existing conditions, regulatory environment, thresholds
of significance that were used for the study, impact analysis (both project and cumulative), recommended
mitigation measures, and level of significance after mitigation will be summarized. ESA will incorporate relevant
exhibits prepared for the report into the EIR. The Hydrology/Hydraulics Report and the Low Impact
Development (LID) Plan/Report conforming to NPDES requirements will be included as appendices to the EIR.

1 Land Use and Planning
ESA understands that the project site is designated as Low
Residential (RL) in the City's zoning ordinance and has an
underlying General Plan designation of Low Residential (RL).
Although the proposed land use is consistent with the existing
zoning and general plan designations, ESA will review the policies and plans that are applicable to the project
and assess whether the project will conflict with them. The land use section will include an evaluation of the
compatibility of the proposed design features with the adjacent single-family residences.
Noise
The noise evaluation prepared by ESA (previously described
under Task 4) will serve as the foundation of the noise
information to be included in the EIR. ESA will summarize the
existing conditions, regulatory environment, thresholds of
significance that were used for the evaluation, the impact analysis (both project and cumulative), the
recommended mitigation measures, and the level of significance after mitigation. The noise modeling
information will be included as an appendix to the EIR.
Public Services
To determine whether adequate public services could be provided to serve the project site, letters describing
the proposed project will be sent to the service providers. ESA will address potential impacts on fire protection
services (County of Los Angeles Fire Department), police (County of Los Angeles Sheriff's Department), schools

3 I Scope of Work
(Walnut Valley Unified School District), parks and recreation (City of Diamond Bar Parks and Recreation
Department), and libraries (County of Los Angeles Public Library) by requesting current information on existing
and planned service levels, staffing levels, and response times. The ability of existing public services to meet
demands of the proposed project will be described. If required, any additional capacity, services, or personnel
will be discussed. Further, any unique public service needs due to the proposed use of the site will be discussed.
The impact of the project upon the ability of the service providers to maintain acceptable service levels will be
discussed, anticipated impacts will be assessed, and mitigation measures, if necessary, will be provided.
Recreation
ESA will evaluate the potential effects of the proposed project on
existing and planned recreational facilities in the vicinity of the
proposed project. An analysis of whether the increase in residential
population will result in physical deterioration of existing facilities
or if the project will require the construction of expansion of existing recreational facilities that might have an
adverse effect on the environment will be conducted . Mitigation measures will be provided, if necessary.
Tr a n s portation /Traffic
ESA understands that the project applicant 's consultant will be
preparing a traffic study for the proposed project, and City staff
will provide a peer review. ESA will summarize the existing
conditions, regulatory environment, thresholds of significance
that were used for the study, impact analysis (both project and cumulative), recommended mitigation
measures, and level of significance after mitigation. ESA will incorporate relevant exhibits prepared for the
report into the EIR. The Traffic Impact Study will be included as an appendix to the EIR.
Tribal Cultural Resources
Tribal cultural resources will be analyzed in a standalone section
of the EIR in accordance with the recent revisions to Appendix G
(as approved by the Office of Administrative Law on September
27, 2016). The analysis will be based on the results of Assembly
Bill (AB) 52 consultation with tribal representatives who have requested notification of projects within the City
pursuant to PRC 21080 .3.1 as described in Task 3 above. Non-confidential documentation obtained during the
consultation will be included in an appendix to the EIR. Confidential information will not be included in the EIR,
but will be provided to the City.
Utilities and Service System s
ESA will evaluate potential impacts associated with utilities and service systems (water, wastewater, drainage
and landfill facilities as well as water supply) that provide service to the project site as addressed in Section
XVIII, Utilities and Service Systems, in Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines. ESA will incorporate the
information from the Applicant-prepared Stormwater Report and Sewer Area Study into this section. Service
demands will be quantified, where possible, and the impact on existing and planned utility systems will be
described. ESA will consult with utility providers. Policies provided in the City's General Plan and standard City
requirements will be evaluated as to their effect of mitigating or avoiding significant effects. Additional
mitigation measures will be proposed, if needed, to reduce any significant effects.

Other CEQA Sections
Alternatives. As discussed in Task 5 above, the EIR will include a discussion of alternatives to the proposed
project. The EIR will include an assessment of alternatives in light of CEQA's mandate to reduce significant
project impacts while meeting the project's basic objectives . As stated previously, ESA will evaluate up to three
alternatives to the proposed project. The EIR will qualitatively address the environmental impacts that would
result The alternatives will be provided in a sufficient level of detail for comparison with the proposed project.
Each alternative will be evaluated with respect to each key impact category. The advantages and disadvantages
of each alternative and the reasons for rejecting or recommending the alternative will also be discussed, and the
environmentally superior alternative will be identified . During the course of the environmental analysis, minor
variations to the proposed project that could have the effect of reducing or eliminating environmental concerns
may become apparent. These variations will be recommended, where feasible.
Long-Term Implications. The EIR will discuss all significant unavoidable adverse impacts. Potential growth-
inducing and irreversible impacts of the proposed project will also be discussed. Potential sources of growth
inducement and their corresponding impacts, such as removal of obstacles to growth, will be qualitatively
analyzed to the extent that they are applicable.
Energy. Section 21100 (b) of the State CEQA Guidelines requires that an EIR include a detailed statement setting
forth mitigation measures proposed to minimize a project's significant effects on the environment, including
but not limited to measures to reduce the wasteful, inefficient, and unnecessary consumption of energy.
Appendix F of the State CEQA Guidelines states that, in order to ensure that energy implications are considered
in project decisions, the potential energy implications of a project shall be considered in an EIR, to the extent
relevant and applicable to the project. In accordance with Appendix F of the State CEQA Guidelines, ESA will
provide a summary of the anticipated energy needs at project build out conditions, impacts, and conservation
measures, and potential electricity and natural gas demand. ESA will also describe policies, design standards,
and mitigation measures that would reduce the wasteful, inefficient, and unnecessary consumption of energy.

approved distribution list. If additional NOAs and Draft EIR CDs are required to be distributed, ESA will identify
the additional costs within a brief augment proposal and will distribute them subsequent to City approval.
ESA will prepare the Notice of Availability (NOA) for review and approval by City staff. A final version of the NOA
will be sent to the City in a PDF format and one hard copy of the NOA will accompany each distributed copy of
the Draft EIR as described above . ESA assumes the City will post the NOA and the Draft EIR on the City's website
as well as publish the NOA in one of the local newspapers such as the San Gabriel Tribune or the Los Angeles
Times. CEQA requires the newspaper publication of the NOA to occur for a minimum of one day. As described

Task 7-Preparation of Final Environmental Documents
Tas~ 7 A -Oraft Response to Comment~
The objective of this task is to prepare written responses to comments received on the Draft EIR that raise
significant environmental issues and submit them for City staff review after the dose of the public comment
period. The responses to comments will be prepared based on the State CEQA Guidelines.
ESA assumes that the City will compile and transmit all written comments on the Draft EIR throughout the
public review period as one unified set of comments following the dose of the public review period. ESA will
prepare a matrix of comments, which will include the comment letter, the comment number within the
comment letter, the issue area of the Draft EIR to which it applies, and whether the response will be an
individual response or a topical/master response. ESA assumes that the applicant's consultants who prepared
the technical reports will be availaple to assist in responding to comments provided on their specific analysis, if
needed. Responses that are within this proposal's scope of work and budget consist of explanations,
elaboration, or clarification of the data contained in the Draft EIR with a budgeted effort of up to 40 hours for
ESA technical staff to prepare responses and an additional 8 hours for ESA publication staff to produce the Draft
Response to Comments document.
The Response to Comments document will include all comments letters, responses to those comments, and
standard introductory material. All comments will be numbered (to indicate comment letter and comment
number), and the responses to those comments will be similarly numbered to allow easy correlation. In
addition, where the text of the Draft EIR must be revised, the text will be isolated as "text changes" in the Errata
Section of the Response to Comments document t, indicating deleted text by strikeout and inserted text by
double-underline. The text of the Draft EIR will not be revised. ESA will transmit the Draft Response to
Comments document to City staff for review and comment.

Task 78-Fina l Response to Comments (F inal EIR)
After City staff provides comments on the Administrative Final EIR, ESA will revise the document and prepare
the "Proof Check" Final Response to comments. The revisions will be prepared in conformance with this scope
of work. If additional revisions are required based on factors such as substantive changes to the proposed
project, changes to the alternatives' project descriptions, or changes in report format, additional funds may be
required. This scope of work includes providing an electronic copy of the "Proof Check" Final Response to
Comments Document, which will show the revisions in track changes that have occurred from the Draft
Response to Comments Document. This will allow City staff to focus on the revisions. After City review and
approval for distribution of the Final Response to Comments (Final) EIR, ESA will reproduce five hard copies and
20 COs. The hard copies will be provided to the City and the CDs will be distributed to those that have
commented on the Draft EIR. The remaining COs will be provided to City staff. If additional hard copies or CD are
required, ESA can provide additional copies after City approval of a scope and budget augment.
ESA will also provide a draft version of the Notice of Determination (NOD) to City staff for submittal to the
County Clerk, if the project is approved.
Delivera bles:
• Submit one electronic copy of the "Proof Check" Final Response to Comments (Final EIR) to City staff.
• Reproduce and distribute five hard copies and 20 COs of the Final Response to Comments (Final EIR).

l ask fC-Findinqs of ~acts and Ov8rrid;ng Considerations
Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, the lead agency must adopt findings for each of those
significant effects identified in the EIR. The effects that were determined to be less than significant and no
impacts will not be addressed . Accordingly, ESA will prepare the Findings of Fact necessary to allow for
certification of the EIR. This task assumes one round of review/City comment on the Draft Findings of Fact.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15093, the lead agency is required to adopt a Statement of Overriding
Considerations outlining the economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of the project that
outweigh its environmental consequences if the decision makers elect to override significant and unavoidable
adverse impacts and proceed with approval of the project. As such, ESA will prepare the Statement of Overriding
Considerations with input from City staff regarding the benefits of the project. This task assumes one round of
review/City comment on the Draft Statement of Overriding Considerations.
The final version of the Findings of Fact (including the Statement of Overriding Considerations) will be provided
in a digital version including all exhibits and graphics, in a web-supportable format.
Deliverables:
• Submit one electronic copy of the Draft Findings of Fact (including the Overriding Considerations).
• Submit one electronic copy of the final version of the Findings of Fact (including the Overriding
Considerations).
