Technical Studies Sample Clauses

Technical Studies. As discussed in Task 5, this scope assumes the use of submitted technical studies to support the environmental analysis. All studies will be peer reviewed under Tasks 2 and 5, above. Depending on the results of the peer review findings of the technical studies and after County and Contractor review, it is assumed that any deficiencies in the studies will be provided by the technical consultants (authors of the technical studies identified on Attachment A-1. After revision and approval by the County and Contractor, the technical reports will be revised, and the draft technical studies will then be incorporated into the Administrative Draft EIR. This scope of work assumes that the technical studies will be included as appendices to the EIR to allow for sufficient public review and input. (Also, see optional studies identified and proposed scopes of work for this effort in Attachment A-2)

Technical Studies. Each collegiate shall have 7 organizational units led by a chair. These units shall be as follows:

Technical Studies. When directed by the Government, the Contractor may be required to perform system/project development efforts; conduct or support investigations; conduct testing; conduct or perform demonstrations; and conduct special studies and/or technical analyses including but not limited to analysis of industrial and technological trends, advancements, or limitations, and their impact upon systems that are covered by the FPS4 contract. These efforts may include:

Technical Studies. 2.12.1.1 UPDATES TO BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES STUDIES TO MEET CALTRANS REQUIREMENTS CONSULTANT will utilize the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) project planning tool and Critical Habitat online mapper to obtain a preliminary list of federally listed species known to occur on and within the general vicinity of the Biological Study Area. Using information obtained during the literature review and field assessment, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ will prepare a Natural Environment Study (Minimal Impact) (NES[MI]) report in accordance with Volume 3 of the Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference and California Environmental Quality Act/National Environmental Policy Act guidelines. Specifically, the NES(MI) report will summarize the information and results obtained during the literature review, document all plant, wildlife, and vegetation communities observed during the field survey, and determine the potential for any special-status species to occur on or within the vicinity of the project site. In addition, the NES(MI) report will provide an analysis of anticipated project-related impacts to biological resources, documentation to demonstrate consistency with the MSHCP, and identify any additional biological surveys, mitigation measures, and/or regulatory approvals that may be required prior to implementation of the proposed project. • NES(MI) (One electronic file). 2.12.1.2 UPDATES TO CULTURAL RESOURCES STUDY TO MEET CALTRANS REQUIREMENTS This task accounts for additional services above and beyond those provided in Task 2.3, above, to adjust the cultural and paleontological documentation to meet Caltrans NEPA requirements. As part of this task, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will obtain approval by Caltrans of an Area of Potential Effects (APE) Map, Section 106 Native American consultations, geomorphology analysis, preparation of an Archaeological Survey Report (ASR), a Historic Resources Evaluation Report (HRER), a Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR), and a combined Paleontological Identification and Evaluation Report (PIR/PER). Key elements of the work program are as follows: • APE Map • Cogstone will prepare a draft Area of Potential Effects (APE) Map in coordination with the City and respond to three rounds of comments from Caltrans.

Technical Studies. We would request that any background studies be provided at the start of the CEQA process. We would review these and avoid duplication of effort while providing objective, third-party review. While we have not yet seen these studies, we assume that they will address many of the impact criteria to be evaluated in the IS/MND. We would like to request a geotechnical study as soon as possible.

Technical Studies. It is assumed that ground disturbing activities are required and therefore the following technical studies are anticipated. However, the need for technical studies will be confirmed as part of the PEAR that is prepared. All technical studies will be consistent with meeting the requirements of CEQA and NEPA, as well as those of related environmental statutes and regulations. The technical studies will be prepared to cover both related statutory documentation requirements and to support preparation of a joint NEPA/CEQA document required for project approval.

Technical Studies. The CONSULTANT will prepare both the draft and final environmental documents in compliance with CEQA and NEPA procedures per the Caltrans SER, as well as Caltrans District 5 and FHWA guidelines.

Technical Studies. This task includes preparation of the traffic study by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Transportation Consulting; review of the geology and soils study prepared by the applicant by GeoSoils; and the review of the hydrology and drainage study provided by the applicant and preparation of a utility study by KPFF Consulting Engineers. The approach for the preparation or review of these studies is described below.

Technical Studies. Task 4.1: Air Quality Analysis
