● Application package will include key attachments which BCDC will need in order to deem the application complete, including documentation of CEQA compliance, property ownership information, and a list of parties interested in the project ● Request data and attachments needed for the application as part of the environmental data request list prepared under Task 2.1. ● Participation in up to three meetings with BCDC, not including the Interagency Meeting (Task 5.2), which BCDC will be invited to attend but whose attendance cannot be guaranteed Subtask 5.5 - Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification Permitting – San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board ● Request a separate pre-filing meeting with the RWQCB and submitting a draft permit application as part of the pre-filing meeting request ● Prepare a draft application and will request the pre -filing meeting on the City’s behalf. In addition to the details we provide to the Corps, this draft application will need to be supplemented with the following: ○ Any hydrologic technical studies prepared by other consultants. ○ Stormwater management plans and other documentation prepared by others on the team to demonstrate that the project will not affect downstream water quality or quantity. ○ Documentation of CEQA compliance (NOE or NOD). ○ A compensatory mitigation approach (see Task 2.9). ● The application will include a narrative alternatives analysis demonstrating that avoidance and minimization of impacts to waters of the U.S. and waters of the state have been incorporated into the project design and that the proposed project is the Least Environmentally Damaging Practicable Alternative. This type of alternatives analysis required for permitting differs from the analysis of alternatives that is typically done during the preliminary design phase and CEQA ● Prepare the alternatives analysis with substantial input from the project team. Following what we expect to be no more than two rounds of draft application submittals, comments, and responses between CONSULTANT and the RWQCB by email, CONSULTANT will prepare a final application to be submitted to the Water Board concurrently with submittal of the Section 404 permit application to the Corps. CONSULTANT does not expect the RWQCB to require a formal Section 404(b)(1) Alternatives Analysis. Preparation of a Section 404(b)(1) Alternatives Analysis is included under Task 8.10 as a contingency task. Subtask 5.6 – Clean Water Act Section 404 and Rivers and Harbors Act Section 10 Permitting – U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ● Obtain a Clean Water Act Section 404 permit and Rivers and Harbors Act Section 10 permit. If the impacts analysis described under Task 2 confirms that the project will result in under 0.5 acre of net fill in waters of the U.S., we assume that the appropriate permit mechanism will be either a Nationwide Permit or Letter of Permission ● Prepare a permit application that meets the ACE’s various requirements. The application will include the same narrative alternatives analysis demonstrating that avoidance and minimization of impacts to waters of the U.S. have been incorporated into the project design and that the proposed project is the Least Environmentally Damaging Practicable Alternative. CONSULTANT does not expect the ACE to require a formal Section 404(b)(1) Alternatives Analysis. Preparation of a Section 404(b)(1)
