IN WITNESS WHEREOF, THE PARTIES HAVE EXECUTED THIS AMENDMENT ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE: GHD INC BY: DATE: PRINT NAME: CITY OF UKIAH BY: DATE: SAGE SANGIACOMO, CITY MANAGER ATTEST BY: DATE: KRISTINE LAWLER, CITY CLERK March 25, 2022 Matthew G. Kennedy COU No. 2122-118-A1 Apr 1, 2022 Kristine Lawler (Apr 1, 2022 09:16 PDT) Kristine Lawler Apr 1, 2022 The Power of Commitment GHD Inc. 12557341 City of Ukiah Ref: COU No. 2122118 Our ref: 12557341 February 17, 2022 Tim Eriksen Public Works Director / City Engineer City of Ukiah 300 Seminary Avenue Ukiah, CA 95482 RE: Great Redwood Trail Phase 4, Environmental Studies and Permitting Dear Mr. Eriksen, The City of Ukiah is currently in the planning phase to construct Phase 4 of the Great Redwood Trail. The Phase 4 Trail is approximately 1.9 miles long and may impact jurisdictional aquatic features including swales and culvert crossings. Based on our current understanding of the project, it is assumed that permits from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Regional Water Quality Control Board, and United States Army Corps of Engineers may be required in order to construct the project. This scope of work is provided to prepare field work and technical studies to determine potential habitat and aquatic features, necessary permit applications, and subsequent coordination with the regulatory agencies. Task 7A: Environmental Fieldwork and Studies Biological Resources Memo GHD will prepare a Biological Resources Memo to support the permit applications. The memo will summarize the potential for special status plants and wildlife, habitats, and Sensitive Natural Communities to occur within the project area. The memo will compile data found during database surveys described above as well as any available maps, databases, literature specific to local ecology, and any additional information from the client pertaining to the site shall be reviewed. Recommendations for further actions or mitigation measures to protect biological resources during project implementation will conclude the memo. Aquatic Resources Delineation GHD, in coordination with Jane Valerius Environmental Consulting, will conduct a delineation of potential wetlands and waters of the United States and/or State in accordance with the USACE 1987 manual, the Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast Region Supplement, the 2020 Navigable Waters Protection Rule and the State Wetland Definition and Procedures for Discharges of Dredged or Fill Material to Waters of the State adopted by the State Water Resources Control Board on April 2, 2019. Field work for the delineation will be conducted on the same day as the initial habitat assessment described below. A delineation report will be prepared that describes the findings of the delineation and can be submitted to USACE for jurisdictional determination. The report will include a delineation map, data sheets, and supplemental information to support the delineation analysis. The delineation will include all the information required by USACE and Water Board to make a formal jurisdictional determination. As part of the report, the following information is required: a locality map; USGS quad sheet or copy with the project boundary outlined; and a delineation map on an aerial or topographic base. GHD will prepare the figures to support the delineation report. TASK 7B: Environmental Permitting CDFW - 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement GHD will prepare a draft Streambed Alteration Agreement application in accordance with Fish and Wildlife Code Section 1602. CDFW requires a Streambed Alteration Agreement for projects with the potential to adversely affect existing fish or wildlife resources. The draft application will be submitted to the City for review and comment. GHD will incorporate comments received into the final application and complete the EXHIBIT 1 12557341 | Proposal for Environmental Studies and Permitting 2 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement application package for online submittal to CDFW. If the City does not yet have an online Environmental Permit Information Management System (EPIMS) account, GHD will guide the County through the registration process. All application materials will be submitted to CDFW through their online EPIMS Portal and GHD will coordinate with the local agent assigned to the project. It is anticipated that this agency coordination will continue throughout the permitting process. RWQCB - 401 Water Quality Certification GHD will prepare a draft CWA Section 401 Permit (Water Quality Certification) application pursuant to the requirements of the North Coast RWQCB for projects that may impact Waters of the State. The draft permit application will be submitted to the City for review and comment. Following incorporation of all comments by the City, the application package will be submitted to the North Coast RWQCB. GHD will coordinate closely with the RWQCB regional office throughout the permitting submittal process. USACE - 404 Nationwide Permit GHD will prepare a CWA Section 404 Nationwide permit application to be submitted to the USACE as required for projects with the potential to impact federal Waters. A draft CWA 404 NWP permit application will be prepared pursuant to the requirements for a Section 404 Army Permit (33 CFR Part 323). It is anticipated that NWP 14, for linear transportation, will best apply to the project; however, that will be confirmed with USACE staff once the project is initiated during pre-application coordination with the agency. Following incorporation of comments by the City, GHD will revise the draft application into a final submittal package.
