SUBJECT: Proposal for Preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
for a Proposed Inert Landfill and Industrial Use Development
Dear Ms. Butler:
In response to your memorandum regarding our proposal to the City for
preparation of the subject EIR, Harland Bartholomew and Associates (HBA) is
pleased to submit additional material and provide clarification of some of the
specific tasks described in our proposal to the City of Arcadia.
Our scope of work is based on the City's request for proposals which noted that
the EIR should focus on: (a) noise; (b) air quality; (c) traffic; (d) groundwater;
(e) geotechnical; and (f) dust/vibration. The City's request did not identify the
need for substantial additional analysis of biological issues nor visual resources.
However, based on our familiarity. with the project site and previous
environmental studies for the site, HBA assumed that these other issues would be
addressed in the EIR relying on previous reports, studies-and plans. However,
our scope of work can be modified, as noted below, to address the specific issues
noted in your memorandum to us.
The following describes our scope of work in response to your memorandum:
• Biology:, Our work program assumed that the EIR would rely o existing
biological assessments that have been conducted of the site for previous�EIRs and
relative to the operations plan that has been prepared. HBA and Engineering-
Science, Inc. (ES), as a subconsultant to HBA, however, can conduct an on-site
biological assessment to update and supplement those previous studies.
Specifically, HBA and ES biologists will conduct an on-site study to identify
existing plant and animal species, assess and evaluate the wetland conditions of
the site (including an evaluation of open water and riparian resources and the
relationship to migratory birds). This assessment will involve the following
professional labor not previously included in our proposed scope of work:
M. Bumgardner (HBA) 40 hours $ 2,800.00
R. Crisologo (ES) 80 hours 7,200.00
other staff(ES) 20 hours 1.200.00
subtotal 140 hours $11,200.00
100 West Walnut Street • Pasadena, California 91124 • (818) 440-8907
Donna Butler

• Visual Impact; Our scope of work is based on the assumption that the
operations plan would provide substantial information regarding the anticipated
grading/fill operations. HBA's planners will prepare a series of before/during/
after renderings of the landfill site to depict the visual conditions of the site
during the fill operations. These renderings will be superimposed over black-and-
white photographs. This assessment will involve the following professional labor
not previously included in our proposed scope of work:
T. Robinson (HBA) 40 hours $1,600.00
• Noise:, The noise study, to be performed by Engineering-Science, will include
both roadway and operational noise.
• Land Use; Our proposed scope of work does include a review and analysis
of land use compatibility.
• Air Quality: Air dispersion modeling is not included in the scope of work
for the assessment of air quality impacts by ES. Dispersion modelling is not an
EIR requirement under CEQA and, moreover, is very rarely performed as part
of an EIR's analysis. However, ES can include dispersion modelling in the EIR
as an additional task to our proposed scope of work.
• Water Quality; Chemical testing of water/ponds is not included in the scope
of work. Testing of the water/ponds is not required under CEQA and, moreover,
is rarely performed as part of an EIR. However, ES is fully capable of doing any
testing directed by the City. ES has a fully equipped laboratory which allows for
testing of any constituent that is a concern. Testing would be an additional task
to our proposed scope of work.
• Geoloav: ES's scope of work for geotechnical analysis of the proposed
project does not include an on-site slope stability study. However, the analyses
to be performed by ES will be in accordance with CEQA and are sufficient for
purposes of the EIR. The analyses of geology/slopes will be based on
information available about the project site, and general information about the
area. In addition, a slope stability study can be performed as an additional task
to our proposed scope of work. .
• Mitigation Monitoring Program: Our proposed scope of work includes the
preparation of a mitigation monitoring program (as noted and described on page
12, Task 4.1).
•

• Findings of Fact: HBA can prepare for the City the necessary Statement of
Overriding Considerations, if necessary, for the following labor costs not included
in our scope of work:
F. Wein 6 hours $ 780.00
S. Reich 10 hours 650.00
Other pinrs. 4 hours 160.00
24 hours $1,590.00
Further, as requested in your memorandum, we have prepared a subtotal of labor
fees for each specific task outlined in our scope of work; the costs of the tasks
described in this letter have been included in this attached table.

SUBJECT: Proposal for Preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
for a Proposed Inert Landfill and Industrial Use Development
Dear Ms. Butler:
Harland Bartholomew and Associates (HBA) is pleased to submit our proposal to
prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for a proposed inert landfill, on
a former sand and gravel extraction site, and industrial use development. The
proposed project to be evaluated in the EIR consists of two components: (a)
operation of an inert landfill, on an 85-acre site, located on Lower Azusa Road
adjacent to the San Gabriel River; and (b) development of an adjacent 12.5 acre
site located on the south side of Lower Azusa Road for continued use of a public
storage facility on 3-acres, and development of approximately 200,000 square feet
of industrial space on 9-acres. The City has identified the need for an EIR to
evaluate potential environmental impacts associated with operation of the
■ proposed project. Future uses for the 85-acre site, once the landfill operations
are completed, are not proposed at this time. This EIR will evaluate the requests
for approval of a reclamation plan, issuance of a conditional use permit, 'd the
associated operations plan for use of the former quarry site for an inert 1 dfill.
HBA is well-aware of the wide range of planning and environmental issues that
will need to be addressed in the environmental impact report. Substantial studies
of the project site have been completed in the past several years. However this
•
subject EIR will need to reassess potential impacts and provide an in-dependent
evaluation to assure the City of Arcadia an objective and thoroughly adequate
EIR.
Our understanding, based on our conversations and the information provided in
the City's request for proposals, is that the City has identified the following
environmental issues to be assessed in the EIR:
a. Geologic hazards, including seismic risks and liquefaction;
b. Air quality, including dust;
c. Traffic and circulation;
-— d. Noise impacts, including vibration; and
_ e. Groundwater (including water quality).

PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF ARCADIA 3
HARLAND BARTHOLOMEW&ASSOCIATES, INC.
SCOPE OF WORK
.- A. Understanding the Project
The City of Arcadia has received applications from Mr. E.O. Rodeffer for the development of:
(an)an inert landfill on an 85 acre site, formerly a sand and gravel quarry; and (b) the expansion
• T of industrial uses on an adjacent 12.5 acre parcel (this expansion to consist of retaining the
existing public storage facilities as well as developing an additional 200,000 square feet of
industrial space).
•
The proposed parcels are bounded on the west by residential property located in the City of El
Monte. To the north of the site, the City of Irwindale conducts quarrying operations. The San
• - Gabriel River flood control channel and the I-605 freeway bound the site on the east. To the
south lies Lower Azusa Road and vacant industrial property within the City of Arcadia.
■ The proposed project consists of two components. The first component consists of developing
an inert (unclassified) landfill. The landfill will only accept soil, rocks, and other inert fill
materials until the former quarry if filled to capacity in about 8 to 15 years. The quarry pit,
•-, representing the former sand and gravel quarry, is approximately 15- to 165 feet deep. It is
estimated that approximately 11 million cubic yards of material will be required to fill) the pit.
k- Issuance of a conditional use permit by the City of Arcadia and a Solid Waste Facility
Operations Permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board and the San Gabriel River
Watermaster are required for operation of the inert landfill
• Approximately 1,200 truck trips per da will be generated by the proposed project. It is
anticipated that 100 trucks will each make six trips to the landfill daily. These trucks will most
likely carry roadway debris from various demolition sites.
•
The second component of the proposed project will include development of light industrial uses,
in accordance with the City of Arcadia's General Plan and zoning ordinance, on a 12.5 acre site
adjacent to the proposed inert landfill.
•
The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be prepared in accordance with state and City
guidelines, and with AB3180, which requires that all public agencies adopt mitigation monitoring
programs when projects, subject to CEQA, are conditionally approved.
•
B. Approach and Objectives
The proposed inert landfill operations and expanded industrial development may result in
4
PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF ARCADE!
HARLAND BARTHOLOMEW&ASSOCIATES, INC.
significant environmental impacts. The City of Arcadia's Planning Department has identified
the need for an EIR. This EIR will evaluate impacts of each component of the proposed project,
including the landfill and the proposed industrial space for the following: (1) noise(construction
noise and long-term vehicular noise, particularly truck traffic to/from the landfill); (2)air quality
(vehicular/truck generated emissions, as well as dust and particulate emissions due to
grading/covering operations of the inert landfill); (3)traffic(600 inbound and 600 outbound trips
will be generated per day to haul debris to the landfill); (4) water quality (the potential for
contamination of the local aquifer and the San Gabriel River exists); and (5) geo-technical
constraints (potential seismic activity that may destabilize the slopes of the landfill and surface
stability for future development of the landfill site following the completion of the landfill
operations).
The issues to be evaluated in the EIR require technical expertise in areas of noise, vibration, air
quality, water quality and geology/seismicity. Although a number of studies have been
conducted for the project site over the past several years, the approach to be taken by the HBA
project team will be to conduct an independent evaluation of the proposed project's impacts.
The HBA project team consists of experts in the technical disciplines necessary to ensure not
only a legally adequate and defensible EIR. The EIR will address the concerns of the general
public and adjacent cities that have voiced opposition to the previous proposals for landfill
operations at the proposed project site.
The approach proposed by the.HBA project team will involve two steps. First, experienced
senior staff with expertise in.the various technical disciplines will prepare an objective EIR.
Second, the EIR that will describe, in clear and concise terms, impacts of the proposed project.
=; This will ensure that residents and adjacent cities will have a full understanding of the pr ject's
impacts on the environment.
C. Special Considerations - Citizen Participation
To help the community understand the issues and impacts involved in this project, the HBA
project team proposes an extensive citizen participation program. Due to the extremely tec nical
nature of both the proposed project and environmental assessment, it is imperative that the EIR
process and its contents be clearly understood by the public and by community leaders in
Arcadia and adjacent cities. The citizen participation program proposed by HBA will involve:
(a) a public scoping meeting at the initiation of the Draft EIR; (b) a series of meetings with local
homeowners' associations and/or other interested groups in the area to discuss their concerns and
to keep them informed of the results of the impact analysis; (c) solicitation of public comments
on potential impacts and mitigation measures; and (d) press releases.
In the past, there has been substantial opposition to the development of the proposed ect.J
ro'
P
This opposition was based on misconceptions of the proposed project by the public. The
PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF ARCADIA 5
L
i
-1
11 HARL.AND BARTHOLOMEW&ASSOCIATES, INC.
_ purpose of the citizen participation program proposed by HBA is not to quell opposition to the
project, nor to persuade the public to support the project, nor to appease the public; rather, the
purpose is to ensure, to the greatest extent possible, that the public is educated about the EIR
process to prepare the EIR, as well as to keep the public informed so that their comments will
be germane to the issues evaluated in the EIR. Their concerns will be analyzed in the'EIR and
all impacts will be addressed. Addressing citizen concerns will reduce the possibility �Is f a legal
challenge.
D. Methodology and Detailed Scope of Work
TASK 1 - PROJECT SCOPING AND DATA INVENTORY
1.1 Project and Alternatives Description
The City will provide to HBA all available plans, maps, and studies relating to the proposed
project, including the City's requirements for a conditional use permit. HBA will arse ble this
information into a preliminary draft of the project description and submit this to City staff for
review and comment. A meeting will be then held between the City and HBA to refine the
project description and agree on the alternatives and assumptions. HBA will then prepare the
project and alternative descriptions to be used in Task 2.
1.2 Prepare Initial Study and Notice of Preparation
HBA will review the City-prepared draft Initial Study and suggest revisions, if n sary, to
reflect applicable court cases, current legislation and our experience in preparing SIRS on
t■ numerous projects in California. HBA, ES and BA concur that the EIR will most likely "focus"
on the following five issues of concern: geology (including seismic risk and liquefaction); air
quality; water quality, noise; and traffic/circulation.
HBA will then prepare the Notice of Preparation (NOP) as required by CEQA and review the
draft NOP with City staff. HBA will distribute the NOP to affected local and state agencies for
review and comment.
1.3 Public Scoping Meeting
The HBA project team will attend a scoping meeting involving residents of the area and adjacent
cities. Working with City of Arcadia staff, HBA will prepare an agenda for the public scoping
meeting and develop an announcement that will be mailed to residents in the project area. The
purpose of the meeting is to solicit comments from the public about environmental issues that
they feel should be addressed in the EIR. Although scoping meetings are not requiri by the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) nor the CEQA Guidelines, HBA b lieves a
PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF ARCADIA 6
: , ..-
HARLAND BARTHOLOMEW&ASSOCIATES, INC.
E
scoping meeting will benefit preparation of the Draft EIR. The intent of the meeting is twofold:
(a) to provide information to the public about the EIR and the EIR process; and (b) to solicit
comments from the public about issues of concern. Therefore, at the scoping meeting, HBA will
describe the purposes of an EIR, how the EIR will be prepared, issues identified by the City's
initial study to be assessed in the Draft EIR, future opportunities for public input and comments,
' and the difference between certification of a Final EIR and approval of the project.
1.4 Inventory Data
HBA will review available studies and plans relating to the proposed inert landfill and industrial
development. In addition, HBA will also perform a site and vicinity inspections, assemble
records, and collect appropriate documents. Further, new data, not available from the City, will
be assembled from other sources. The HBA project team already has visited the site and has
reviewed numerous studies in-house.
Data assembled will be used to describe and analyze the environmental setting of the project site
-. and surrounding vicinity. This data also will be used to identify project impacts. Close liaison
will be maintained with the City staff.
a TASK 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS
Based on the findings of Task 1, the Draft EIR will be prepared in conformance with CEQA and
City requirements. An EIR format that is acceptable to the City will be used. This fopn at will
be concise and easy-to-read. The EIR will discuss, in appropriate detail, CEQA topics identified
in the Initial Study, and issues raised in response to the Notice of Preparation and public scoping
mu meetings.
The following is a description of the work proposed for each element of the EIR. 1 e cost
Tw estimate listed in Section 4 of this proposal is based on the completion of thi scope.
Modifications to the scope, as a result of Task 1 findings, may result in an adjustme t in the
schedule and cost. Each section of the EIR will contain a review of the setting, the i entified
impacts, and proposed mitigation measures. A chapter identifying the mitigation monitoring
program will also be included.
n 2.1 Geologic Hazards
u
ES will:
1. Identify soil and geologic characteristics of the project site;
2. Identify potential environmental impacts which could result from 1 dform
modifications on the project site;
q
PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF ARCADIA 7
Lir
! . . l
HARLAND BARTHOLOMEW&ASSOCIATES, INC.
3. Identify potential earthquake hazards in and around the project area for the
landfill operation and industrial uses proposed; and
4. Recommend mitigation measures to reduce identified earth resource
impacts.
ES, working in close coordination with HBA, will assemble data from available sot rtes to
provide a comprehensive description of the physical environmental setting of the project site and
surrounding environs. ES will also describe the local soils in terms of the soil types present and
their physical characteristics utilizing the U.S. Soil Conservation Service Soils Survey for the
study area. This information will be verified with other available documentation. Short- and
long-term impacts to area soils and drainage system will be evaluated, and mitigation io limit
potentially significant effects will be identified.
The EIR will also provide a description of regional geologic conditions at the site. USGS
quadrangle maps will be utilized as a basis for topographic evaluation. Geologic impacts elating
to the grading for the proposed landfill development will be identified. Impacts resulting from
operation of the inert landfill and associated mitigation measures will be presented.
The project location is in a seismically active region. It is within close proximity to the Sierra
Madre and Raymond Fault Zones, which are classified as either active or potentially activ based
on pst seismic history. The possible adverse effects resulting from future earthquake along
these fault zones, or other more distant faults such as the San Andreas, Whittier-Elsin re and
Newport-Inglewood Fault Zones, could be serious. These effects include, but are not limited
to, ground shaking intensity and liquefaction potential.
ES will review existing published data on geologic and seismic conditions. Based upon our
finding, assessments will be made of potential impacts that are likely to result from geologic
conditions, including impacts associated with seismic hazards. these seismic hazards will be
identified, including both maximum credible and maximum probable earthquakes, associated
ground accelerations, surface rupture potential, and earthquake occurrence prob ability.
Mitigation measures would be developed to address seismic design and loading fact rs, if
needed.
2.2 Air Quality
ES will:
1. Identify and quantify air emission contaminants (including dust and
particulate matter) resulting from development of the proposed projects.
Construction, stationary, and vehicular emissions will be compared with
regional air impact significance criteria;

t!
2. Identify the potential air quality impacts related to objectionable odors from
the project site;
3. Recommend mitigation measures to reduce identified air quality impacts to
a level of insignificance; and
4. Evaluate the proposed project -*for consistency with the Air Quality
Management Plan (AQMP).
A summary of the climatological characteristics of the project area will be described by ES in
the EIR. The existing air quality environment for the proposed project will also be described.
Compliance with state and federal air quality regulations for ozone, nitrogen oxid s, carbon
monoxide, sulfur oxides, and particulates will also be discussed. Based on the 'r quality
analysis of the proposed project, air quality impacts to both the local planning area and the South
Coast Air Basin will be evaluated. Mitigation measures to reduce impacts from inc eased air
pollutants will be recommended.
2.3 Water Quality
ES will assemble data from available sources to provide a description of the hydrol
project site. ES will also conduct an on-site inspection previously repo gy of the
Specifically, ES will pection to confirm reviousl re data.
1. Identify potential impacts related to storm runoff and erosion resulting from
earth moving activities at the project site;
2. Identify potential impacts related to water quality resulting from possible
increased turbidity of discharged water, and contaminant migration from low-
level contaminants deposited in the landfill;
3. Evaluate the design of the proposed landfill lining for its potential to effect
water quality; and
4. Recommend mitigation measures to reduce identified water quality impacts
to a level if insignificance.
ES will describe existing water resources in the project area, including surface and groundwater.
Impacts will be identified and appropriate mitigation measures recommended, for which ES will
consult with appropriate environmental regulatory/resource agencies, where necessary.
2.4 Noise
Ambient noise levels in the area of the proposed project will be established by ES using existing
sources. Field measurements will be conducted where existing data is found inadequate in order
to provide a representative description of the ambient noise. Activities that may potentially
s generate noise impacts will be identified. Based on the identification of potential noise impacts,
PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF ARCADIA 9
7

specific mitigation measures Will be recommended. The following efforts will be conducted to
satisfy requirements for this EIR:
1. Ultimate noise levels resulting from projected traffic volumes of the proposed
project will be calculated;
2. Potential impacts of increased vehicular noise resulting from traffic volumes
and roadway widening will be assessed;
3. Potential impacts resulting from increased noise levels on existing and
potential development; and
4. Mitigation measures to reduce identified noise impacts to a level of
insignificance will be recommended.
-
2.5 Traffic and Circulation
Based on existing traffic count information provided by the City, analysis of the existing travel
conditions in the vicinity of the proposed landfill and industrial uses will be perfomed by
Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. (BA) and HBA. The results will provide a basis for e aluating
future travel conditions.
BA and HBA will forecast peak hour and daily traffic entering and exiting the projec site and
adjacent area. Traffic volumes generated under future density requirements and City o Arcadia
requirements will be compared. Additional vehicular trips will be distributed to the existing
T
street system and added to background traffic to project future traffic volumes.
Using traffic forecasts, BA and HBA will perform capacity analyses of the intersec ons and
street segments likely to be affected by the project. HBA will then assess impac of the
proposed project on the existing street system. Actions necessary to mitigate imp.cts, and
identify will be recommended and impacts that cannot be mitigated will be identified.
TASK 3 - CEQA TOPICS
3.1 Cumulative Impacts
Using a list of reasonably foreseeable cumulative projects to be provided by the City, BA will
evaluate the potential impact of these collective projects, in association with the proposed
project. Cumulative projects will include evaluation of pending applications for development
in the area of the proposed project. It is anticipated that several cumulative project may be
collectively evaluated. The discussion of cumulative impacts will be included in ch issue

3.2 Significant Environmental Effects Which Cannot Be Avoided Should the oject Be
Implemented
This section will focus on those impacts which cannot be mitigated to a level of insignificance
by mitigation measures recommended in the EIR. Impacts which cannot be mitigated will be
-11 identified and discussed. This section will assist in defining the overall project im acts for
subsequent preparation of the Statement of Overriding Considerations, if necessary.
3.3 Alternatives to the Project
Proposed Proj
P
In accordance with CEQA, discussion of alternatives to the proposed project and condi 'onal use
permit which could feasibly attain the basic objectives of the project will be included in the EIR.
Alternatives will be analyzed relative to their potential for anticipated impacts and benefits over
the proposed project. This section will also address potential impacts resulting f>lom each
-' alternative. Each alternative will be assessed for its feasibility.
3.4 Relationship Between Local Short-term Uses of Man's Environment and Maintenance
and Enhancement of Long-term Productivity
This section will,discuss the aspects of short-term use of the land and its resources relative to
potential long-term productivity of the land. For example, the EIR will address the s ort- and
long-term impacts of development of the 85-acre project site as a landfill and the adja nt 12.5
acre site for industrial uses relative to the short- and long-term factors associa ed with
maintaining land under current city requirements.
3.5 Any Significant Irreversible Environmental Changes Which Would be Involv d in the
Proposed Action Should It be Implemented
Those impacts which would become permanent, should the proposed inert landfill and • dustrial
development be approved and developed, will be addressed. The discussion will focus on those
resources which will be irreplaceably consumed.
3.6 Growth-inducing Impacts of the Proposed Action
The EIR will include a discussion of direct and indirect growth-inducing impacts associ.ted with
the proposed inert landfill and the proposed industrial uses. The analysis will go be and the
obvious secondary effects(such as induce expansion of housing and population)and wil identify
other known aspects of the project which may actually encourage or accelerate the rate •f growth
or intensity of development. A discussion of both demographic and economic impac . will be
presented.

TASK 4 - PREPARATION OF THE DRAFT EIR
4.1 Administrative Draft EIR
HBA will prepare an administrative Draft EIR for review by City staff. Comments rc-ceived
during this internal review will be incorporated and the Draft EIR subsequently prepared. It is
anticipated that only one round of revisions between the administrative and final Draft EIR will
be required.
Impact analyses will be formatted per the City's recommendation, or as mutually agreed upon.
Each topical discussion will address the environmental setting relative to that issL e, the
anticipated potential environmental impacts (both beneficial and adverse) and associated
mitigation measures. Cumulative impacts will be addressed under each environmental topic, as
appropriate.
As required by State law, the EIR will include a monitoring program for all mitigation measures
recommended in the EIR. Mitigation measures recommended to minimize or eliminate impacts
identified in the impact analysis will be discussed. They will be compared with parameters of
the proposed project's conceptual design that are intended to eliminate or reduce impacts Data
relevant to these environmental topics will be presented in textual, tabular, or graphic f•rm to
describe environmental conditions of the project site.
In addition to the project description and the impact analysis sections previously discus the
EIR will contain all the sections mandated by CEQA, Section 21100. The following opical
sections will be included in the EIR:
• Executive Summary
• Project Description and Characteristics
• Environmental Setting, Environmental Impacts,and Mitigation M-. ures
• Cumulative Impacts
• Significant Environmental Effects Which Cannot Be Avoided
• Alternatives to the Project

4.2 Executive Summary
1 HBA will prepare an Executive Summary, concise description ption of the proposed landfill and
industrial development and its related impacts and recommended mitigation measures The
Executive Summary will contain a master list of significant adverse impacts and recommended
mitigation measures. The Executive Summary is most effective as a tool for rapid introluction
to the project and its most significant issues for the City Council and Planning Commission and
the general public. The master list of mitigation measures will outline expected requirements,
thus providing a basis for the CEQA-required mitigation monitoring program.
4.3 Draft EIR
HBA will provide the City of Arcadia with fifty (50) 3-ring loose leaf copies in binders and fifty
(50) comb-bound copies of the Draft EIR for distribution by the City's Planning Departr lent to
City departments, the California Office of Planning and Research (OPR), local agenci s and
cities, and the public.
4.4 Citizen Participation Program
As part of HBA's citizen participation program, we propose two major efforts to occur at this
stage: (a)press releases; and (b) meetings with homeowners' associations and/or residents in the
area of the proposed landfill and industrial uses. HBA will prepare draft press rel s and
review the draft with City staff. The press releases will be sent to all local news apers
(including the San Gabriel Valley section of the Los Angeles Times, the Pasadena Star News
and local Arcadia papers) to inform the public about the availability of the Draft EIR. Th press
releases will include a concise summary of the proposed project, potential impacts and mi gation
measures. Concurrent with the press releases, HBA will work with City staff to arrange series
of meetings with residents in area of the proposed project to discuss the findings of th Draft
EIR and the process available to the public to comment on the Draft EIR. Copies Hof the
Executive Summary of the Draft EIR will be made available to those who attend these m tangs.
For purposes of budgeting, HBA assumes that there will be three meetings, with a total
attendance of approximately 150 people.
TASK 5 - FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
At the conclusion of the public review period for the Draft EIR, HBA will attend up o five
public hearings, including hearings conducted by the Arcadia Planning Commission on th: Draft
and Final EIR and by the City Council. The preparation of the Final EIR will be initi•ted as
written comments are received and oral testimony provided at the public hearings on th- Draft
FIR. Responses will be provided to all environmental comments in order to ensur. legal
adequacy of the document and answer expressed environmental concerns.

BUDGET AND SCHEDULE 3
As requested by the City of Arcadia, the attached cost proposal is provided for the Scope of
Services proposed by Harland Bartholomew & Associates (HBA) for preparation of the 'focused
EIR for the proposed inert landfill and industrial development. The total cost to compete the
Scope of Work for the EIR is $80,640.00
The attached budget provides the information requested by the City. Specifically, the attached
budget specifies hours by person. Further, as requested by the City, the budget notes tike total
for direct costs.
Assuming HBA receives written authorization to proceed by mid-September, 1991, HBA will
prepare the final Initial Study and distribute the Notice of Preparation by October 1, 1991. HBA
will then be able to submit the administrative Draft EIR to City of Arcadia staff.for review and
comment by mid-December, 1991. Then, assuming HBA receives City staff comments on the
administrative Draft EIR within 10 working days, HBA will be able to submit the Drafti EIR to
the City for distribution in early January, 1992. HBA anticipates a 30-day public review period;
'however a 30 day review period requires approval of all reviewing agencies. HBA will
coordinate with the Regional Water Quality Control Board and the South Coast AQMD to seek
their approval of a 30 day review period rather than a 45 day review that they typically ¶equest.
The Planning Commission's first public hearings on the Draft EIR will be.held in late J uary,
1992. The Planning Commission can then conduct its second public hearing after the lose of
• the 30-day review period for the Draft EIR. The completion of the Final EIR is depen ent on
the number of comments (including written received during the 30-day public review period and
oral testimony given at the Planning Commission's public hearings) received on the Draft EIR.
HBA, BA and ES will devote the staff resources necessary to achieve this schedue. We
anticipate that the City Council can conduct public hearings on the Final EIR in Febru and
March, 1992, with the Final EIR certified in March, 1992.
HBA, Barton-Aschman and Engineering-Science provide unusual - capabilities in project
management for small and large projects. This translates into an excellent record of su ss in
technical quality and on-time and within-budget completion of projects. Our firms fully
committed to meeting difficult schedules and has established an excellent track record in this
regard. Whether accommodating an accelerated or normal schedule, the HBA, BA and ES
approach is based on organizing a group of highly qualified, full-time staff members assembled
from the Pasadena office, and supported, as needed, in certain disciplines by others ialists
from other offices to meet the specific and unique needs of a.project. Our project mana ement
resources provide an orderly and systematic method for individual assignment of work fforts,
and ensure that work is conducted using the highest level of talent and experience. To ensure
on-time and within-budget performance, HBA, BA and ES supports each project team with
•
computer-generated performance reports and support staff, enabling project managers to make
timely correction, if necessary, to meet critical project completion dates and budgets.

_ Landfill Gas Control Design - Orange County: A private developer wished to
construct a condominium complex atop a complete sanitary landfill in Orange
County, California. The site was adjacent to a greenbelt and park facilities and
partially occupied by 52 dwelling units at the southerly portion within 10 ft of the
completed landfill. An additional 229 units were planned for the northwest edge
of the site. Engineering Science was selected to examine the potential hazards
from landfill produced gases, such as methane and hydrogen sulfide and to
develop a landfill gas venting system. Among the tasks performed by
Engineering-Science were a review of grading, utility and building lans; a
— review of soils and geology reports previously prepared; an examin lion of
potential gas migration characteristics adjacent to the landfill; and prep lion of
a report on gas migration. Engineering-Science also provided design riteria,
— design and construction supervision of the landfill gas venting system, in pection
of construction procedures in hazardous areas, ongoing gas monitori g, and
consultation with the developer and public agencies as required.
Landfill Study - Santa Barbara, California: An existing sanitary andfll,
acquired by .the City of Santa Barbara for development as a part, as not
compacted adequately during placement of wastes and thus was not co sidered
sufficiently stable to permit construction of the park f cilities.
Engineering-Science was retained to determine the efficacy of using co trolled
addition of water to the landfill to bring about accelerated settling of the refuse,
which ranged up to 50 ft in depth. The material was uniformly wet ed, the
resulting rate of settlement evaluated, and the number of--wettings req,ired to
attain the desired degree of compaction determined. In addition to se tlement
determinations, gas monitoring was conducted to determine the extent of gas
generation and migration resulting from the watering operation. On the asis of
the information obtained, a plan was developed for utilization of the land ill site,
within the context of the proposed development scheme, which uld be
_ implemented prior to complete stabilization of the in-place material, a plan
included methods of control to protect proposed facilities from a cessive
concentration of gas caused by landfill decomposition; methods of cons ction
and maintenance to preclude structural damage due to differential settle ent of
the landfill surface; and a program of periodic preventive mainten ce and
monitoring of the landfill area to ensure satisfactory utilization of the area Without
adverse effects.
Los Osos/Baywood Class III Landfill - County of San Luis bispo:
Engineering-Science was retained to perform the Solid Waste Assessme t Test
(SWAT) for the Los Osos Landfill. Both water and air swat requiremen were
met by this.scope of services. During the study, several scenarios foil future
disposal of solid waste in the landfill service area were evaluated.

leachate is being generated by a closed Class III landfill, and to characte ' local
_ water quality beneath the site. This study was designed to bring the land ill into
compliance with groundwater monitoring requirements of the Solid Waste
Assessment Test (SWAT) program as established by the Calderon Bill in itle 23
of the California Administrative Code (CAC). Five wells were in tailed,
completed and developed on the site and groundwater samples were obtai ed for
analysis. Site hydrogeology and soil characterization were determined con urrent
with well installation. Analysis of groundwater gradient was made through
collection of water level data subsequent to well installation. It was determined
that landfill leachate was adequately contained within the confines of the landfill
and that there would be no adverse impacts to water quality in other wells in the
vicinity.
Palo Alto Landfill EIR - City of Palo Alto: The City of Palo Alto, Cali ornia,
retained Engineering-Science to prepare both an EIR and other data neces for
the continued use of an existing landfill. Consideration was given to th short-
and long-term effects on the local land resources, water quality, air quality, noise,
traffic, ecology, aesthetics, human interest and cultural factors. Public
involvement was encouraged during the conduct of the study. The level of public
concern and the awareness exhibited by groups and individuals in the City elped
broaden and strengthen the findings and conclusions of the study.
National Governors Association Solid Waste Disposal Assessment: In
cooperation with the Solid Waste Management Subcommittee of the Ntional
Governors Association, Engineering-Science conducted an assessment of 2 states
to determine responses to specific solid waste disposal issues. Info ation
gathered for each state included total solid waste produced, component br- . out
of utility solid waste, disposal techniques utilized, costs of solid waste di posal,
:. and environmental and regulatory constraints to disposal. Another maj•r data
gathering activity involved case study analysis of six coal-fired generating s •tions
selected in different regions of the United States. Each of the stations lected
■ in different regions of the United States. Each of the six facilities was ex. fined
for composition and quantity of solid waste generated, component and to • cost
of current conventional disposal practices, land availability and suitabi ity of
- disposal sites, geology of major land areas within the study ar- ., and
environmental and regulatory constraints.
