<br />ATTACHMENT A - (Alternative Urban Areawide Review) <br /> <br /> <br />A. The Services - <br /> <br />Alternative Urban Areawide Review <br /> <br />Overview <br />SRF will prepare an AUAR for City approval and distribution addressing the potential <br />environmental impacts of the TCAAP Master Plan. SRF will prepare two minor sub-alternatives <br />to the Master Plan, addressing minor variation in site plan design or development density. The <br />AUAR will be completed under Minnesota EQB rules and with the City of Arden Hills serving <br />as the Regulatory Governmental Unit (RGU) for the AUAR. <br /> <br />Base Study and Optional Tasks <br /> <br />Completion of the AUAR will draw upon previous analysis completed by the U.S. Army and/or <br />the City of Arden Hills and its consultants, as well as information and analysis developed in the <br />associated Master Development, Traffic Impact Study, and Stage One processes, and the <br />contamination studies and remediation plans completed by others under separate contracts. This <br />specifically includes data gathering from other sources (Natural Heritage Database, State Historic <br />Preservation Office file search, soils inventories and previous Applied Ecological Services <br />studies), summaries of analysis completed under other tasks or by other consultants (traffic <br />studies, utility and infrastructure analysis, stormwater, contamination, vehicle-generated noise <br />and air quality impacts). Analysis will be completed in consultation with the City of Arden Hills <br />and the environmental agencies responsible for reviewing (and potentially regulating) impacts <br />identified within the AUAR. <br /> <br />A preliminary draft AUAR document and mitigation plan will be prepared for City review. <br />Revisions will be made in response to City comments and the Draft AUAR and Mitigation Plan <br />will be finalized for agency distribution and public review. SRF will conduct an open house <br />during the comment period to facilitate public comment. <br /> <br />Following the public comment period, responses to substantive comments received will be <br />prepared for City review. The Final AUAR and mitigation plan will be prepared addressing <br />substantive comments as well as further updates to the Master Plan. Following City approval, <br />the Final AUAR and Mitigation Plan will be distributed in accordance with EQB rules. <br /> <br />Public Involvement <br /> <br />A specific list of project stakeholders/participants will be identified as well as appropriate <br />methods for obtaining input. At a minimum, SRF will participate in two public open houses, <br />provide technical reports and AUAR-related materials in pdfformat for use on the City project <br />website, and provide six newsletter articles on AUAR-related topics at key milestones in the <br />project. <br />\\Metro.inet.us\ardenhills\Planning\Community Development\TCAAP\Consultants\SRF w AUAR\AUAR Services Contract 4w2-07.doc <br /> <br />8 <br />
