Common use of ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS Clause in Contracts

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS. This task requires the Consultant to conduct any technical studies necessary to evaluate and assess impacts of the HST Alternatives and No Project Alternative as part of the EIR/EIS process(es), addressing both alignments and proposed station locations. The Consultant will provide a scope of work for each technical study and impact topic required by CEQA and NEPA that include, but are not limited to: • Traffic and Circulation • Travel Conditions • Air Quality • Noise and Vibration • Energy • Electromagnetic Fields and Electromagnetic Interference • Land Use and Planning, Communities and Neighborhoods, Property, and Environmental Justice • Agricultural Lands • Aesthetics and Visual Resources • Public Utilities • Hazardous Wastes and Materials • Cultural and Paleontological Resources • Geology and Soils • Hydrology and Water Resources • Biological Resources and Wetlands • Section 4(f) and 6(f) Resources (Public Parks and Recreation, Waterfowl Resources, and Historic Sites) • Cumulative and Secondary Impacts Evaluation • Construction Impacts • Economic Growth and Related Impacts Exhibit 2 to Attachment 3 • Unavoidable Adverse Environmental Impacts Technical reports should be prepared for each topic of environmental analysis and include a description of the existing environmental conditions (Affected Environment) that could be affected by the No Project and HST Alternatives. The Consultant will propose measures that will be used to define the study area. The various technical studies and corresponding impacts analyses will be incorporated into the Administrative Draft EIR/EIS document(s). As part of the Draft EIR/EIS document(s), the Consultant shall identify and describe in detail all appropriate mitigation measures required to mitigate for the HST Alternative. The Work Plan should identify anticipated fieldwork needed as part of the site-specific environmental analyses and incorporate this into the project schedule. A preferred HST Alternative will be identified as well as any incremental stages of improvement. The HST Project EIR/EIS document(s) will evaluate in detail the potential for incremental phased implementation leading to completion of the preferred HST Alternative. Site-specific environmental impacts will be addressed to enable the Authority to reach decisions on the ultimate configuration of the corridor for all involved rail services as well as any incremental phases of development after the completion of environmental documents.
