Task.3.1. Technical Studies
The following technical analyses, memoranda or reports are in support of the Initial Study (IS) and Mitigated
Negative Declaration (MND): For the purposes of this scope, the study areas for the technical studies are assumed
to cover the limits,provided in the proposed project's geometric exhibit provided in the RFP. Preparation of one
draft,and one final analyses/memorandum/report for each topic area below is specified.
Task 3.1.1. Cultural Resources. Memorandum
An archaeological and historical records review and.literature search at the South Central Coastal Information
Center (SCCIC) of the California Historical. Resources information System, located at California State.University,
Fullerton will be conducted. The SCCIC houses pertinent archaeological site and survey information necessary to
determine if previously recorded. cu IN ra I resources exist within.0.5 mile of the project area. All pertinent .
references will. be reviewed and summarized in the cultural resources memo randum..The cost of the record
search will include hourly initiation and a reimbursable SCCIC cost:
Native American consultation, under Assembly Bill (AB) 52.is necessary for this project. It is .the responsibility of.
the Lead Agency to, conduct this consultation. Per the RFP, LSA will assist with consultation; which is described
below. If the project qualifies as.a Categorical Exemption, it will not be necessary for the Lead Agency to conduct
Native American consultation.
A pedestrian field survey of the approximately 0.6-mile linear, project area will be,conducted in order to identify
and document previously unrecorded resources on Department of Parks and Recreation.(DPR) forms, as well as to
update existing DPR forms in accordance with guidelines established by the State of California Office of Historic
Preservation (OHP).
The results .of the cultural resource record and the Native American consultation will be documented in a
negative cultural resource technical memorandum, This memorandum will discuss the potential for.the project to
impact cultural resources and, if needed, include avoidance measures and other recommendations to minimize
these impacts: This proposal assumes negative findings. If, the results of the record search indicate that one or
more cultural resources have been recorded in the project area, updating the resource(s) will be necessary and a
budget augment will be required to, complete that work and to prepare a more comprehensive positive report.
Task 3.1.2. Paleontological Resources Memorandum
A fossil locality search through the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHMLAC) will, be conducted
to establish the status and extent of previously recorded paleontological resources within the project area, as well
as within, the same or similar deposits as those found in the project area. This locality search will help determine
the types of paleontological resources that may be encountered during project development. Current geologic
maps ofthe project area will be examined; and relevant geological and paleontological literature reviewed. This
MARK Cannon Street Widening Project
® T H O M A S city of orange
literature review will determine which geologic units are. present within the project area and provide additional.
'information regarding the types of paleontological. resources that may occur in those deposits, their scientific
significance, and potential methods to mitigate impacts -to those resources. Based on the information from the
fossil locality search and literature review, a pedestrian survey of the project area will be conducted to note the
sediments and any exposed paleontological resources that may present. The results of the fossil locality search
through the NHMLAC; the literature review, and the field survey will be documented in a paleontological
resources technical memorandum. This memorandum will discuss the potential for the project to impact
paleontological resources and, if needed, include avoidance. measures and other recommendations to minimize
these impacts...
Task 11.3. Biological Resources Memorandum
A. biological resources memorandum will be, prepared that evaluates the effect of the project on biological
resources. in. the study area. Current information from databases, including the California Native Plant Society
Inventory of Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Plants of California, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service's
Information for Planning and Consultation, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's California Natural
Diversity Database: RareFind will be reviewed to identify sensitive or special -status biological resources that have a
potential of occurring. within or adjacent to the. project area..A field survey of the project impact area will be
conducted to ascertain the potential for identified elements to,occur. The results of the database review and field
survey will be documented in the biological resources memorandum and any appropriate avoidance and
minimization measures will be identified. All observable biological and potentially jurisdictional resources will be
identified; however, this scope does not include a formal jurisdictional delineation, bat emergence surveys, or
focused/special-status species surveys. A formal jurisdictional delineation, and bat emergence surveys have been
included as optional tasks.
Task 3.1.4. Arborist Report
An LSA Certified Arborist (certified by the International Society of Arboriculture) will Visit the site to inventory all
accessible trees within,the project limits. The scope of this.proposal is based on evaluating an estimated 30 trees.
Data pertaining to each tree (i.e., species, height, diameter at 4.5 feet above grade, health/structural stability) will
'be recorded on a data sheet and by digital photograph; the location of each will be recorded with a sub -meter
accurate GPS unit. The results. of the tree survey will be compiled into. a Tree Report for use in the planning
process.. The scope of this proposal specifically excludes the preparation of hazard tree analysis or treatment/re-
evaluation of diseased or infested trees.
Task 3.1.5. Jurisdictional Delineation
A routine/preliminary jurisdictional delineation (JD) of the subject property in accordance with the currently..
accepted'United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), and
Regional. Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) delineation methods and guidelines, as referenced below, will be
completed;

Region (version 2.0) and the 1987 Corps Wetland Delineation Manual. The jurisdictional limits of non -wetland
waters of the United States (WOTUS) will be delineated according to the revised definition of "waters of the
United States" (i.e., final Navigable Waters Protection Rule), which was published in the Federal Register on April
21, 2020, and became effective on June 22, 2020.
The extent of any jurisdictional streambed and, if present, any associated riparian habitat subject to review by
CDFW under Section 1602 of the California Fish and Game Code will also be delineated. Any waters of the State
(WOTS) that are identified as jurisdictional by the RWQCB and that might not otherwise be considered
jurisdictional by the USACE and/or CDFW will be delineated. The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB)
recently adopted the State Wetland Definition and Procedures for Discharges of Dredged or Fill Material to Waters
of the State, which became effective on May 28, 2020. Any RWQCB permit application submitted after May 28,
2020, must comply with these procedures. As such, any features that meet the new State wetland, definition will
be delineated in accordance with the current definition and procedures. The jurisdictional limits of non -wetland
WOTS will be identified following the applicable RWQCB guidelines.
Following the completion of the JD fieldwork, the field data collected will be analyzed to determine whether
potential jurisdictional drainages on site are ephemeral, intermittent, or perennial based on the USACE's current
methods/guidelines. A technical report will be prepared presenting the methodologies and results of the JD
fieldwork and subsequent analyses. This will include a geographic information system (GIS) based graphic showing

acoustic records will be used to verify bat presence and, when possible, to identify species. The acoustic
monitoring will be done with full -spectrum Pettersson D-240X and Wildlife Acoustics EM3+ ultrasound detectors,
with calls recorded on digital media recorders for later analysis. It is not possible to identify every call to species
using this system. Some calls are fragmentary and inappropriate for analysis, while others overlap two or more
potential species. In addition, not all bats recorded will be those exiting or entering the bridge in question. Some
are foraging bats en route to or from other structures. It is important, therefore, to have observers on site in
order to correlate calls with visual observations.

The potential impacts to bats from construction activities cannot be adequately assessed, nor can appropriate
species -specific minimization measures be determined, without adequate knowledge of the size(s) and species
composition, including any seasonal variation if present, of any bat colonies roosting within a given bridge
structure. Therefore, one nighttime survey should be performed during the fall/winter season to determine the
numbers and species of bats roosting within each structure containing suitable roosting habitat to assess its
potential for use as a hibernacula. The other survey should be performed during the maternity season (between
April 1—August 31), but preferably during the period between June 1 and August 15, in order to determine the
numbers and species of any bats utilizing the bridge as a maternity roost. Separate seasonal surveys are needed
because species composition and numbers of bats often change seasonally at a given roost site. These surveys
would serve as preconstruction surveys for the project.
The results of all bat surveys will be documented in a letter report that will include a species list and graphic (if
applicable). The report will also include recommended measures to minimize direct impacts to roosting bats;
these measures will be consistent with typical bat -related CDFW measures for wildlife protection included in.
Streambed Alteration Agreements. Minimization measures that may be required by the resource agencies
commonly include, but are not limited to, seasonal restrictions on specific work activities, humane
eviction/exclusion of bats from directly affected work areas during the fall months preceding construction
activities, and installation of alternative roosting habitat to mitigate for impacts to roosting habitat. Therefore, in
order to avoid potential construction delays, it is useful to, be aware of any potential scheduling limitations as far
in advance of construction as possible. This proactive approach also facilitates coordination with the resource.

Analysis requirements will be provided based on the sensitivity of the area directly adjacent to the project site,
City vibration standards, and the FTA recommendations.
Noise levels, generated from aircraft operations in the project vicinity and vehicular traffic will be evaluated.
Aircraft noise will be assessed based on the project location and the location of the airport noise contour. For
vehicular traffic, the proposed project is not anticipated to generate new vehicular traffic trips. However,
vehicular traffic on Cannon Street may increase due to area growth and traffic currently using other existing
routes being attracted to the improved road. Noise impacts from vehicular traffic will be assessed using the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model for the noise impact analysis.
Model input data needed include average daily traffic (ADT) volumes, peak -hour traffic volumes, percentages of
autos and medium and heavy trucks, vehicle speeds, ground attenuation factors, and roadway widths. The 24-
hour weighted average Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) along Cannon Street that would be affected will
be tabulated. Traffic parameters necessary for the model input will be obtained from the traffic study prepared
for this project.
Avoidance or minimization measures designed to reduce short- and long-term noise and vibration impacts to

Task 3.1.9. Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emission Analysis Memorandum
An analysis that assesses the project's potential impacts on air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will
be conducted. Baseline and project setting meteorological and air quality data in the South Coast Air Basin area
provided by the California Air Resources Board (CARE) and climatological and air quality profile data gathered by
the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) will be utilized for the description of existing ambient
air quality. Air quality data from the Anaheim air quality monitoring station for the past 3 years will be included to

the analysis will use assumptions based on standard construction practices. Standard measures for construction
activities recommended by the. SCAQMD will be identified and incorporated as part of the proposed project's
standard conditions.
A localized significance analysis will be prepared to evaluate the potential impacts on the nearby sensitive

sources.
The proposed project would add an additional thru-lane in one direction and widen sections of the roadway, thus
improving the level of service. These changes are not expected to generate new vehicular traffic trips. However;
vehicular traffic on Cannon Street may increase due to area growth and traffic currently using other existing
routes being attracted to the improved road. The air quality and GHG analysis will compare the emissions from

Bridge borings will be excavated using a truck -mounted or track -mounted drilling rig equipped with 8-inch
diameter hollow -stem augers or 4-inch rotary -wash drill rods. Asphalt concrete cold -patch will be used to replace
asphalt that is removed by excavations; and quick -set cement will be used to replace concrete that is removed by
excavations.
EMI will drill shallow hand auger borings (5-foot deep) every 500 feet along the proposed new pavement
locations to collect bulk samples; a total of three shallow borings will be drilled for the project.
Traffic Control: In order to perform borings along Cannon Road, traffic control will be provided following CA
MUTCD guidelines.'lt is our.assumption that Traffic control plans will not be -required.
EMI will prepare a boring location plan and this plan will be used to.se'cure encroachment permit from City of
Orange. It is our assumption that this encroachment permit will be a no -fee permit. Since the borings will be
locatedalong the street, it is our assumption that encroachment permits from County of Orange or Orange.
County Flood Control District will not be required. Any.other permits, if required, will be secured by others.
EMI.field personnel will collect soil samples for laboratory testing, including bulk samples of near -surface soils and
small disturbed and relatively undisturbed ring samples of deeper soils. The small disturbed and relatively,
undisturbed soil samples will be collected using,split-spoon samplers at a vertical interval.of about 5 feet,
alternating between the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) sampler and the Modified California Drive (MCD)
sampler. Samples of subsurface soils will be logged during the field investigation, secured in their containers, or
collected in plastic bags, and transported to the EMI laboratory.
Task 8.3. Laboratory Testing
Field logs of the boreholes will be reviewed to select representative soil samples for.laboratory testing. Various
laboratory tests will be performed on soil samples to determine or derive their physical and engineering
characteristics. Anticipated laboratory tests include in -situ density and moisture content, grain size, Atterberg
Limits, UU triaxial, direct she consolidation, R-value, and soil corrosion tests. Laboratory tests will.be conducted
in general accordance with American Society for Testing.and Materials (ASTM) standards or California Test
methods.
Task.8.4. Geotechnical Engineering Analyses
Results obtained from the field explorations and laboratory testing will be used to characterize subsurface soils
and conditions and create idealized soil profiles for design purpose. The following analyses will be performed.for
the project: .
• Evaluation of seismicity and estimation of Peak Ground Acceleration based on the Caltrans design criteria,,
and recommendation of an ARS curve for the bridge structural design.
• Assessment of soil liquefaction potential, seismic settlement, and lateral spreading.
• Foundation analysis for bridge.
• Assessment of global slope stability and settlement of embankments..
• Evaluation of soil corrosivity conditions and recommendations for mitigation measures.
• Design of pavement structural section in accordance with the Caltrans method.

Task 9.1. Landscape Concept Plan
Mark Thomas will gather information during meetings with City staff to understand their goals for the project.
Mark Thomas will obtain electronic base plans and as -built landscape and irrigation plans and verify them with
observable field conditions. Additionally, we will review City design standards and specifications to identify
Specific landscape requirements identified and discuss in a meeting with City maintenance staff to identify their
goals for the planting design and maintenance concerns. Based on the collected information, Mark Thomas will
prepare three (3) alternative landscape design options. Each option will include a 500' section of typical landscape
