Irvine High Rise Condominiums
Redevelopment of a former manufacturing plant property into high rise
condominiums south of Interstate 405 at Jamboree in Irvine. The
regulatory environment was CEQA and local. This work was performed
for two private developers
The Rosedale Project (Monrovia Nursery Specific Plan)
The Rosedale Project is a primarily residential development of more than
500 acres in Azusa on lands formerly used for a commercial plant
nursery. It was controversial and took over 15 years to get approval.
The regulatory environment was CEQA and local. We won this project
based on our qualifications and provided services to the City of Azusa as
both client and lead agency.
Newport Road Extension Project
A road extension to serve the expanding housing areas near Menifee in
Riverside County. Monitoring required in sensitive areas. Isolated
prehistoric artifacts and a historic trash pit were discovered. The
regulatory environment was CEQA and local. We won this project based
on our qualifications and provided services to the Riverside County Land
and Transportation Management Agency as both client and lead agency.
Zanja Madre
An access road next to the Gold Line approach to Chinatown station, to
provide access and storage for trains in the rail yard to the east, was
being constructed. An important early water conveyance system from the
Los Angeles River to the plaza of the fledgling City of Los Angeles was
revealed. We were the on-call cultural resources firm and responded to
the unanticipated discovery. The regulatory environment was CEQA and
local. This work was performed partially as a subcontractor to Ultra
Systems Environmental and partially through a direct sole source
contract to Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
Eastside Gold Line Extension Project
The Eastside Gold Line Extension is a six mile project bringing the Gold
Line subway into East Los Angeles. Paleontological and archaeological
monitoring was required by project conditions. The regulatory
environment was NHPA section 106 and NEPA. This work was
performed partially as a subcontractor to Ultra Systems Environmental
and partially through a direct sole source contract to Metropolitan
Transportation Authority.
Repairs To Oil Pipelines In The Angeles Forest
Winter 2005 rains caused landslides which ruptured oil pipelines passing through the
National Forest. The only access is a historic roadway thus the Forest Service
requires all impacts to be monitored, even for emergency repairs. In addition,
numerous cultural resources are present in the National Forest and any impacts to
those require mitigation. The regulatory environment was NHPA section 106 and
NEPA. We performed this work for Pacific Energy Systems with the Angeles National
Forest as the lead agency.
