Lilburn Corporation will conduct a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment focusing on
the area where construction activities will occur. The purpose of a Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is to determine and assess environmental issues
associated with prior uses of the property that may impact the owner's future use and
liability. At the conclusion of the site assessment, a report documents the observed
potential impacts to the subject property that may have altered the site's ecology,
environment, functional use, or economic value. The assessment only includes visual
observations and inquiry into public records. No testing of soil, air, or water or any
other matter is used to render a technical opinion in a Phase I Assessment. The
environmental assessment prepared will follow the guidelines established by the
American Society for Testing and Materials Standard Practice manual for the Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment process (ASTM Designation E 1527).

available documents on the soils of the project area, the original biological assessment,
and any previously completed environmental documents.
NRA, Inc. will conduct a one-day field survey to evaluate and measure the extent of the
drainages on site. Areas of potential jurisdiction will be evaluated according to u.s.
Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG)
criteria. Potential jurisdictional areas will also be evaluated for a federal nexus as
required by the Corps.
Areas displaying potential wetland indicators will be evaluated according to the routine
delineation procedures described in the Corps Manual. At each point, dominant plant
species will be identified and soils examined. Notes will be taken on hydrologic
conditions, including such hydrologic indicators as recent sediment deposits, evidence
of inundation (such as accumulations of vegetation debris showing deposition by
water), and surface scour. General site characteristics will also be noted. Wetlands
meeting the definition of the CDFG will also be evaluated and documented.
NRA, Inc. will include an analysis of the potential impacts of the proposed project on
the jurisdictional drainages. The analysis will include those sections of drainages
directly impacted by the project as well as indirect impacts to the drainage system.
Mitigation measures will be recommended for the potential impacts identified during
the study, including mitigation measures for elimination or minimization of impacts to
the drainages, where possible. The development of detailed implementation measures,
such as off-site drainage replacement, project redesign and mitigation monitoring, is not
included in this SOW.
The NES and Jurisdictional Delineation Analysis will be prepared as a stand alone
report and the results incorporated into the revised PEAR.

both a regional level air quality analysis and a project level air quality analysis are
required for the project.
The regional air quality analysis focuses on the project inclusion and consistency with
the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the Regional Transportation Improvement
Program (RTIP). This analysis will focus on showing that the project is included in the
RTP and RTIP and is consistent with the plans that are included in these documents. A
quick check indicates that this project is included in the RTIP, and this will facilitate the
regional analysis.
The project level analysis will focus on three topics; 1) carbon monoxide (CO)
operational impacts, 2) particulate (PM2.s and PMIO) operational impacts, and 3) Mobile
Source Air Toxics (MSAT). In California, the procedure for performing a CO analysis is
detailed in the Transportation Proiect-Level Carbon Monoxide Protocol (Protocol)
developed by the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California,
Davis. The US EP A deemed the Protocol as an acceptable option to the mandated
quantitative analysis. The Protocol incorporates ~93.1l5 - 93.117, ~93.126 - 93.128 into its
rules and procedures. This protocol will be used for the CO analysis.
The PM2.s and PMlOhotspot analysis is required per the Federal Air Quality Act
Transportation Conformity Requirements (40 CPR 51.390 and Part 93) and the
implementation of the new PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standard. The EP A
final rule that establishes the transportation conformity criteria and procedures for
determining which projects must be analyzed for local air quality impacts in PM2.s and
PMIO non-attainment and maintenance areas was published in the Federal Register on
March 10, 2006. A guidance document for PM2.s Hotspot Analysis was published by the
EP A on March 30, 2006. The first part of the EP A guidance is to determine if the project
is a "project of air quality concern (POAQC)." This step requires a finding by SCAG's
Transportation Conformity Working Group (TCWG). Mestre Greve and Associates will
fill out the required form, which contains a project description, a summary of required
traffic data, and other information depending on the project. On past submittals Mestre
Greve and Associates has also found it necessary to write an addendum to the submittal
that details why the project is not a POAQC. Mestre Greve and Associates will then
participate in the TCWG meeting when they review the application, and provide any
subsequent information requested. The P.M. 2.5 findings are required to circulate for
public review for 30 days, support will be provided for this effort!. We feel strongly that
this project should be classified as "not a POAQC," and our cost is based on the
assumption that the TCWG will concur.
The FHW A has issued a memorandum entitled "Interim Guidance on Air Toxic
Analysis." The analysis requires the combination of traffic data, emission factors, speed

data, project length and speciation data to project the amount of air toxics generated. We
will follow their published methodology and perform the MSA T analysis as required.
The air quality assessment will be presented in a report that includes background on the
regulatory framework, the existing air environment, as well as documenting the CO,
MSA T, and PM2.5/ PMIO analyses. The costs include one review and revisions by the City
and one review cycle with Caltrans and FHW A.
Deliverables:

Task 2.2.5
Noise Assessment
Lilburn Corporation, in conjunction with Mestre Greve and Associates will prepare the
Noise Assessment as requested by Caltrans.
The noise analysis will be prepared in a manner consistent the Caltrans "Traffic Noise
Analysis Protocol" and FHW A Technical Advisories. The FHW A and Caltrans noise
criteria are based on the peak hour of noise, and are in terms of the hourly equivalent
level or Leq. The standard is essentially, that the peak hour Leq should not exceed 66
dBA for residential uses and 71 dBA for commercial uses with outdoor areas of frequent
human use. The existing noise environment will be described through a noise
measurement survey and computer modeling assessment of existing roadway noise
sources. Short-term noise measurements, with concurrent traffic counts, will be made at
up to 4 sites. The site selection will focus on the residential uses and commercial uses
with outdoor areas of frequent human use along the project's limits. The FHWA's
Traffic Noise Model (TNM) will be used for calculations of the Leq noise levels. The
future noise exposure for the project will be developed and compared to the existing
noise levels. These results will be presented in a tabular format showing the resultant
noise levels at sensitive receptors potentially impacted by the project. Noise attenuation
may be required in those sensitive areas where the Caltrans LEQ noise standards are
approached or exceeded. If needed, the preliminary location of a sound barrier and the
height of the barrier will be determined.
The TNM Model will be used for all of the computations. The barrier analysis will be
conducted at a level of detail consistent with preliminary engineering plans. Typically, a
final barrier study (not included in this scope) is conducted as part of the final
engineering plans which finalizes the barrier heights and precisely determines the
starting and stopping points of the barrier. This work effort also includes one round of
responding to City comments, and one round of responding to Caltrans and FHW A
comments and making revisions to the report as necessary. Once the original round of
Caltrans comments are properly responded to, any additional coordination with
Caltrans and FHW A will be an extra cost.

SUBJECT: University Parkway, (SBd-215-i'M 11.63) EnvirOlunental Services Scope of Work
Dear Mr. Gonzalez:
Lilburn Corporation is pleased to submit the following proposal to prepare environmental
studies for the University Parkway Freeway On-ramp project in response to the July 19, 2006
(Received on February 20,2007) California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) comments
to the May 2006 Draft Preliminary Environmental Analysis Report (PEAR). Our objective is to
complete these studies as detailed below in accordance with Caltrans guidelines for the resulting
issuance of a Categorical Exemption.
Task 1: Visual Impact Assessment
Lilburn Corporation will prepare a Visual Resource Assessment (VIA) based upon the VIA
guide prepared by Caltrans. Based upon our initial review and evaluation of the project, we
anticipate the Brief VIA format will be acceptable to Caltrans. This report format will entail
evaluating the project based upon ten criteria contained within the Caltrans guide and reporting
the results in memo form. Results ofthe VIA will be incorporated into the revised PEAR.
Task 2: Phase I Site AssessmentlInitial Site Assessment
Lilburn Corporation will conduct a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment focusing on the area
where construction activities will occur. The purpose of a Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment (ESA) is to determine and assess environmental issues associated with prior uses of
the property that may impact the owner's future use and liability. At the conclusion of the site
assessment, a report documents the observed potential impacts to the subject property that may
have altered the site's ecology, environment, functional use, or economic value. The assessment
only includes visual observations and inquiry into public records. No testing of soil, air, or water
or any other matter is used to render a technical opinion in a Phase I Assessment. The
environmental assessment prepared will follow the guidelines established by the American
Society for Testing and Materials Standard Practice manual for the Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment process (ASTM Designation E 1527).

Results of the Phase I ESA will be summarized into the Caltrans Initial Site Assessment (ISA)
format and incorporated into the revised PEAR.
Task 3: Natural Environment Study (NES)
Lilburn Corporation, in conjunction with Natural Resources Assessment, Inc. (NRA, Inc.) will
update the Biological Analysis previously prepared for the interchange improvements. This
includes aerial photos, information from San Bernardino County, California Natural Diversity
Data Base (CNDDB), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) md California Department of
Fish and Game (CDFG), as well as data provided in other environmental reports from projects in
the surrounding area.
NRA, Inc. will review the most up to date version of the Natural Environmental Study Report
(NESR) to ensure compliance with current Caltrans requirements. The existing biological
assessment will be supplemented to include those items required by the NES. These items
include the following:
. An updated data request.
. Discussion of regional and local sensitive resources,
. An assessment of impacts to sensitive resources impacted by the project.
. Description of appropriate mitigation for impacts to sensitive resources, as appropriate.
NRA, Inc. will review up to date aerial photos and topographic maps, as well as available data
from the City of San Bernardino, California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (Corps) and the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Existing relevant information regarding the property, will also be reviewed including available
documents on the soils of the project area, the original biological assessment, and any previously
completed environmental docunlents.
NRA, Inc. will conduct a one-day field survey to evaluate and measure the extent of the
drainages on site. Areas of potential jurisdiction will be evaluated according to U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers (Corps) and California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) criteria. Potential
jurisdictional areas will also be evaluated for a federal nexus as required by the Corps.
Areas displaying potential wetland indicators will be evaluated according to the routine
delineation procedures described in the Corps Manual. At each point, dominant plant species will
be identified and soils examined. Notes will be taken on hydrologic conditions, including such
hydrologic indicators as recent sediment deposits, evidence of inundation (such as accumulations
of vegetation debris showing deposition by water), and surface scour. General site characteristics

will also be noted. Wetlands meeting the definition of the CDFG will also be evaluated and
documented.
NRA, Inc. will include an analysis of the potential impacts of the proposed project on the
jurisdictional drainages. The analysis will include those sections of drainages directly impacted
by the project as well as indirect impacts to the drainage system.
Mitigation measures will be recommended for the potential impacts identified during the study,
including mitigation measures for elimination or minimization of impacts to the drainages, where
possible. The development of detailed implementation measures, such as off-site drainage
replacement, project redesign and mitigation monitoring, is not included in this SOW.
The NES and Jurisdictional Delineation Analysis will be prepared as a stand alone report and the
results incorporated into the revised PEAR
Task 4: Air Quality Assessment
Lilburn Corporation, in conjunction with Mestre Greve and Associates will prepare the Air
Quality Analysis as requested by Caltrans. The Caltrans comments indicate that both a regional
level air quality analysis and a project level air quality analysis are required for the project.
The regional air quality analysis focuses on the project inclusion and consistency with the
Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the Regional Transportation Improvement Program
(RTIP). This analysis will focus on showing that the project is included in the RTP and RTIP and
is consistent with the plans that are included in these documents. A quick check indicates that
this project is included in the RTIP, and this will facilitate the regional analysis.
The projecI level analysis will focus on three topics; i) carbon monoxide (CO) operational
impacts, 2) particulate (PM2.5 and PMIO) operational impacts, and 3) Mobile Source Air Toxics
(MSAT). In California, the procedure for performing a CO analysis is detailed in the
Transportation Proiect-Level Carbon Monoxide Protocol (Protocol) developed by the Institute of
Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis. The US EPA deemed the Protocol
as an acceptable option to the mandated quantitative analysis. The Protocol incorporates ~93.115
- 93.117, ~93.126 - 93.128 into its rules and procedures. This protocol will be used for the CO
analysis.
The PM25 and PMIO hotspot analysis is required per the Federal Air Quality Act Transportation
Conformity Requirements (40 CFR 51.390 and Part 93) and the implementation of the new
PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standard. The EPA final rule that establishes the
transportation conformity criteria and procedures for determining which projects must be

analyzed for local air quality impacts in PM2.5 and PMIO non-attainment and maintenance areas
was published in the Federal Register on March 10, 2006. A guidance document for PM2.5
Hotspot Analysis was published by the EPA on March 30, 2006. The first part of the EPA
guidance is to determine if the project is a "project of air quality concern (POAQC)." This step
requires a finding by SCAG's Transportation Conformity Working Group (TCWG). Mestre
Greve and Associates will fill out the required form, which contains a project description, a
summary of required traffic data, and other information depending on the project. On past
submittals Mestre Greve and Associates has also found it necessary to write an addendum to the
submittal that details why the project is not a POAQC. Mestre Greve and Associates will then
participate in the TCWG meeting when they review the application, and provide any subsequent
information requested. The P.M. 2.5 findings are required to circulate for public review for 30
days, support will be provided for this effortl. We feel strongly that this project should be
classified as "not a POAQC," and our cost is based on the assumption that the TCWG will
concur.
The FHW A has issued a memorandum entitled "Interim Guidance on Air Toxic Analysis." The
analysis requires the combination of traffic data, emission factors, speed data, project length and
speciation data to project the amount of air toxics generated. We will follow their published
methodology and perform the MSAT analysis as required.
The air quality assessment will be presented in a report that includes background on the
regulatory framework, the existing air environment, as well as, documenting the CO, MSA T, and
PM2.5/PMIO analyses. The costs include one review and revisions by the City and one review
cycle with Caltrans and FHW A.
Task 5: Noise Assessment
Lilburn Corporation, in conjunction with Mestre Greve and Associates will prepare the Noise
Assessment as requested by Calirans.
The noise analysis will be prepared in a manner consistent the Caltrans "Traffic Noise Analysis
Protocol" and FHW A Technical Advisories. The FHW A and Caltrans noise criteria are based on
the peak hour of noise, and are in terms of the hourly equivalent level or Leq. The standard is
essentially, that the peak hour Leq should not exceed 66 dBA for residential uses and 71 dBA for
commercial uses with outdoor areas of frequent human use. The existing noise environment will
be described through a noise measurement survey and computer modeling assessment of existing
roadway noise sources. Short-term noise measurements, with concurrent traffic counts, will be
made at up to 4 sites. The site selection will focus on the residential uses and commercial uses
with outdoor areas of frequent human use along the project's limits. The FHW A's Traffic Noise

Model (TNM) will be used for calculations of the Leq noise levels. The future noise exposure for
the project will be developed and compared to the existing noise levels. These results will be
presented in a tabular format showing the resultant noise levels at sensitive receptors potentially
impacted by the project. Noise attenuation may be required in those sensitive areas where the
Caltrans LEQ noise standards are approached or exceeded. If needed, the preliminary location of
a sound barrier and the height of the barrier will be determined.
The TNM Model will be used for all of the computations. The barrier analysis will be conducted
at a level of detail consistent with preliminary engineering plans. Typically, a final barrier study
(not included in this scope) is conducted as part of the final engineering plans which finalizes the
barrier heights and precisely determines the starting and stopping points of the barrier. This work
effort also includes one round of responding to City comments, and one round of responding to
Caltrans and FHW A comments and making revisions to the report as necessary. Once the
original round of Caltrans comments are properly responded to, any additional coordination with
Caltrans and FHW A will be an extra cost.
Task 6: Cultural Assessment
Lilbum Corporation in conjunction with McKenna et al will prepare the Caltrans requested
Cultural resource investigations. Based upon the comments contained in the Caltrans memo
dated July 19, 2006, we anticipate the preparation of an Area of Potential Effects Map (APE),
Archaeological Survey Report (ASR), Historic Resources Evaluation Report (HRER), and a
Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR).
In addition, we will coordinate these efforts with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO)
as well as coordinate inquiries with the Native American Heritage Commission. Our efforts will
include a Paleontological Overview of the project area and preparation of a Historic Cultural
Visual Assessment as required by Section 106 guidelines.
Results of the Cultural Assessment will be incorporated into the revised PEAR.
Task 7: Coordination of Categorical Exemption (CEQA)/Categorical Exclusion (NEP A)
Based upon the results and information gathered as outlined in Tasks I through 6, Lilburn
Corporation will coordinate completion of necessary documentation for adoption of a CEQA
Categorical Exemption and NEP A Categorical Exclusion.
Task 8: Project Management/Coordination
Management of the project includes on-going coordination with T.y. Lin International,
preparation of memos, and meeting preparation and attendance. In order to maximize our efforts
LILBURN

to conduct the environmental evaluation and keep the project on track, we propose to attend up
to eight meetings with T.y. Lin International and City staff at milestone intervals. Project
management also includes interaction with our subconsultants, monitoring of their schedule, and
review of their work products.
Lilbum Corporation will coordinate with T.y. Lin on the completion of the above tasks.
Additional coordination may be required with the USFWS, CDFG, Army Corps of Engineers,
and the City. Many of the studies proposed to be performed under this scope of work will require
assess to Caltrans property. This access is typically permitted through a Caltrans issued
Encroachment Permit. Lilbum Corporation and their subconsultants will attempt to obtain the
necessary encroachment permit in a timely manner. Permit application costs and/or bonding
requirement by Caltrans cannot be estimated at this time and therefore will be additional costs
billed as a pass through.
Schedule
We anticipate the field survey portions of this Scope of Work can be completed within six weeks
from authorization to proceed and receipt of authorized Encroachment Permit. Air Quality and
Noise Assessment schedules are dependent upon receipt of an approved Traffic Analysis but can
be completed within six weeks of said receipt. Poor weather conditions or prohibited access may
inhibit the completion of the field studies or unduly affect field observations.
