1. About Aspen Environmental Group

Aspen is an expert environmental services firm focused on the provision of services to clients responsible for building, maintaining, or regulating infrastructure and public works projects. Since the company’s incep-tion in 1991, Aspen’s multidisciplinary staff has provided environmental compliance, impact assessment, planning, and mitiga-tion services for a wide variety of federal, state, and local clients. Aspen has effectively managed many large, complex, and high-profile projects involving large teams of subconsultants on behalf of public clients.

Aspen’s focus on specific types of projects provides us with the knowledge, insight, and understanding needed to efficiently prepare environmental analyses that meet project needs, disclose important information to the public, and fully conform to all applicable federal, state, and local requirements.

Aspen has provided environmental compliance services for a wide variety of infrastructure, public works, and industrial projects across the western US, including water, energy, flood control, and telecom-munications infrastructure, as well as many types of public facilities. Aspen has extensive experience managing large-scale IDIQ and on-call contracts with such clients as U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Land Management, Western Area Power Administration, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife. One of Aspen’s primary services is compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). In addition, Aspen provides expertise needed for successful compliance with the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, Endangered Species Act, and other federal and state environmental laws.

Aspen is known for the quality of our work products and has developed an effective Quality Assurance Program. High standards have been a foundation of Aspen’s ongoing commitment to providing quality products and services to our clients. As such, Aspen routinely performs quality audits, performance monitoring, and reviews of project deliverables. Aspen’s Quality Assurance Program has been integral to our developing and producing high-quality work products for agency and private clients and has been tested and refined over several years through our work on numerous on-call projects, and with hundreds of other documents for federal, State and local government agencies.

2 CONTRACT NO. 47QRAA22D00EH

SIN 541620 Environmental Consulting Services

Aspen regularly serves in the role of prime contractor to federal, state, and local agencies for CEQA and NEPA projects and routinely manages a team of specialists for the purpose of conducting detailed and comprehensive environmental impact analyses.

Aspen’s project management and CEQA/NEPA experience is complemented by the expertise and experience of our staff members in collecting data and performing analyses for environmental impact assessment documents and supporting environmental documentation, including specialized services such as biological resources, cultural resources, geographical information systems (GIS) mapping, public participation (noticing, advertising, scoping meetings, public meetings, hearings, etc.), and permit documentation for compliance with the entire range of state and federal environmental regulations. In addition, Aspen prepares Mitigation Plans and has a team of mitigation monitors to ensure adherence to all mitigation requirements during construction.

Aspen specializes in the preparation of environmental impact report (EIR) and environmental impact statement (EIS) documents and has a highly successful track record in producing technically sound and legally defensible environmental analysis documents. We provide all notices, documentation, and ser-vices needed for CEQA and NEPA compliance, as necessary. Aspen also provides comprehensive ser-vices related to regulatory permit acquisition, including expertise in the efforts necessary for project-specific approvals, including providing compliance monitoring required during pre-construction, construction, and post-construction phases.

We have extensive experience in the management and preparation of the entire range of CEQA and NEPA compliance documents and activities, including Initial Studies (ISs), Negative Declarations (NDs), Mitigated NDs (MNDs), EIRs, and public notices and meetings for CEQA, and Environmental Assess-ments (EAs), Findings of No Significant Impact (FONSIs), EISs, Records of Decision (RODs), scoping meetings, public hearings, and Federal Register notices for NEPA. We have successfully prepared all of these types of documents and conducted these activities for many different agencies. The bulk of our experience has come under task-order contracts, so we have developed efficient procedures for managing these contracts.

An understanding of environmental legislation is critical to effectively manage most environmental assessment projects, because most agency projects trigger necessary responses or actions to a wide range of other legislation. Aspen has substantial knowledge regarding the requirements of the following state and federal regulations related to natural resources as a result of our past work with various public agencies:

Coastal Zone Management Act, Federal Coastal Consistency Determination, California Coastal Act

Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act (USACE)

California Fish and Game Code (Sections 1600- 1607) Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreements

Federal Clean Water Act (CWA), Section 404 Permits (Nationwide, Regional General, Standard

CEQA

Aspen’s expertise and extensive experience has been gained over many years and is detailed below with respect to CEQA compliance functions, types of projects, our range of clients, and key issue areas:

Categorical Exemption documentation; ISs, NDs, MNDs, and Draft and Final EIRs;

Preparation and distribution of required notices, including Notices of Preparation, Notices of Com-pletion, and Notices of Determination;

Project descriptions and formulation of feasible alternatives;

Field studies and research;

Our projects have included all areas of California, from urban areas with concerns related to air quality, traffic, noise, and environmental justice, to rural and wilderness areas where biological resources, recreation use, and scenic vistas were the primary concerns. In each of our completed projects, we demonstrated our ability to perform the following critical functions:

Evaluation and analysis of project alternatives, cum-ulative impacts, and growth-inducing effects;

Comprehensive analyses of all relevant environ-mental issues;

Support to the Lead Agency in CEQA compliance and public participation;

Management of technical specialists from within Aspen and from subcontractor teams; and

4 CONTRACT NO. 47QRAA22D00EH

Production of high-quality environmental documents synthesizing and editing information developed by technical specialists;

NEPA

NEPA requires EIS preparation only for “proposals for legislation and other major federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.” A federal agency must, therefore, evaluate and screen each proposed action to determine whether NEPA applies, and if it does, whether an EIS must be prepared. First, an agency must determine if the proposed action is categorically excluded or otherwise exempt from NEPA. Second, if the action is not excluded, the agency must determine whether the proposed action may “significantly affect the quality of the human environment.” This step involves preparing an EA to determine whether the proposed action would result in any significant environmental effects. Finally, the agency will either (1) file a FONSI if there are no impacts or they have been suitably mitigated, or (2) prepare an EIS.

Aspen staff are experts in all the technical and procedural requirements of NEPA and supporting federal legislation. Aspen has over 30 years of experience managing, preparing, and processing a wide variety of environmental impact assessment documents for many local, state, and federal government entities.

The factors that differentiate us from other environmental consulting firms include our extensive recent and relevant NEPA process work and our project management process that is designed and adjusted to very efficiently conduct projects. Aspen’s repertoire of experience, expertise, and resources make us more than capable of handling all technical and procedural requirements necessary for successful compliance with NEPA and supporting federal legislation.

CEQA/NEPA Joint Documents

Since Aspen’s formation over 30 years ago, we have gained a reputation for successful management of large and challenging joint document projects. . A project that is subject to CEQA will also be subject to NEPA when it: (1) is jointly carried out by a federal agency; (2) requires a federal discretionary permit, entitlement, authorization, or federal funding; or (3) occurs on federal land. Federal agencies are encour-aged under NEPA to cooperate with State and local agencies when a project is subject to both NEPA and CEQA and to perform an independent review of any prepared CEQA documents when it is preparing its own NEPA document. A joint EIS/EIR or a joint FONSI/Negative Declaration can be produced to satisfy the requirements of both Acts, if the involved lead agencies sign a Memorandum of Understanding to apply whichever requirements are more stringent.

Supporting Environmental Regulations. Aspen has expertise in handling supporting environmental leg-islation (both federal and state) for NEPA and CEQA. Understanding supporting federal regulations is critical to working with agencies because each proposed project triggers a different set of related environmental requirements, depending on the type and location of the activity being proposed. Each federal agency has an obligation to inquire as to which other environmental requirements may be applicable to an action, and to list, in the EIS, all federal permits, licenses, and other entitlements that are needed.

CONTRACT NO. 47QRAA22D00EH 5
