Contract No. GS-10F-0229N 3

About Aspen Environmental Group Aspen is an expert interdisciplinary 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 inception in 1991, over 98 percent of Aspen’s work has been related to infra-structure, public works, and industrial projects, particularly energy and water infrastructure. Aspen’s focus on specific types of projects provides us with the knowledge, insight, and understanding needed to efficiently prepare environ-mental 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 analysis, permitting, and compliance services for a wide variety of infrastructure, public works, and industrial projects across the western US, including water, energy, flood control, and telecommunications infrastructure, as well as many types of public facilities. 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.

541620 - Environmental Consulting Services

Aspen regularly serves in the role of prime contractor to local, state, and federal 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 its staff members in collecting data and performing analyses for environmental impact assessment documents and supporting environmental documentation, including specialized services such as 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 services needed for CEQA and NEPA compliance, as necessary. Aspen also provides comprehensive services 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.

Contract No. GS-10F-0229N 4

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 Assessments (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 environmen-tal assessment projects, because most agency projects trigger necessary responses or actions to a wide range of other legislation. Aspen has substantial knowledge regarding the require-ments 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 Individual), including preparation of Formal Wetland Delineation Reports, which involve Minimum Standard Guidelines

Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board

(RWQCB)

Section 402 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NDPES) permits from the State Water Resources Control Board, through the local RWQCB

Contract No. GS-10F-0229N 5

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, No tices of Completion, and Notices of Determination;

Project descriptions and formulation of feasible alternatives;

Field studies and research;

Engineering evaluation of projects to determine specific impact parameters;

Feasibility studies of alternatives and mitigation measures;

Mitigation measure development, evaluation, implementation, and mitigation monitoring; and

Public participation, including website creation and maintenance, notices for mail and media, public workshops and hearings, stakeholder meetings, fact sheets and brochures, graphic displays, and non- English language materials.

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, cumulative impacts, and growth-inducing effects;

Comprehensive analyses of all relevant environmental issues;

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

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

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

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 25 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

Contract No. GS-10F-0229N 6 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 25 years ago, we have gained a reputation for successful management of large and challenging joint document projects, as illustrated by our completion of CEQA and NEPA compliance documents for projects such as the Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project EIR/EIS, Sunrise Powerlink Project EIR/EIS, Devers-Palo Verde No. 2 Transmission Project EIR/EIS, the Pacific Pipeline EIR/EIS and the Alturas Transmission Line EIR/EIS. We prepared our first two joint CEQA/NEPA documents for the CPUC about 15 years ago, for the Pacific Pipeline and Alturas Transmission Line projects. S ince then, we have prepared several others, including the: Antelope-Pardee EIR/EIS, Devers-Palo Verde EIR/EIS, Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project EIR/EIS, and Sunrise Powerlink Project EIR/EIS. We are recently prepared the EIR/EISs for the proposed West of Devers Upgrade Project and the Coolwater-Lugo Transmission Project.

Our CEQA/NEPA projects have covered all areas of California. We have staff experienced with urban areas who are especially versed in addressing the concerns of high-minority and low-income populations, and we have conducted numerous projects in low-density, rural areas where biological resources, recreation use, and scenic vistas have been the primary concerns.

Joint Environmental Reviews. Use of NEPA and CEQA Simultaneously. 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 encouraged 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 legislation (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.
