BACKGROUND: 1998 Comments re: "Notice of Initiation of Studies/Notice of Preparation — SR 22 and I -405 Improvements ": In May 1998 the City received the "Notice of Initiation of Studies/Notice of Preparation — SR 22 and I-405 Improvements ". The City Council authorized the Mayor to sign a comment letter regarding concerns of the City regarding the proposed project on June 22, 1998. A copy of the 1998 comment letter is provided as Attachment 1 for the information of the City Council. The major issues of concern in the 1998 comment letter were: Agenda Item C: My f ument UMSISR 22 DEIR -EIS R cipt.CC Suff Rcp mdm�MG9 -w5 i City Council Staff Report re: Receipt of "State Route 22IWest Orange County Connection Draft Environmental Impact Report and Environmental Impact Statement" September 10, 2001 o Extremely concerned about any right -of -way acquisition that would impact the College Park East neighborhood, north of the I-405 freeway between Seal Beach Boulevard and Valley View Street. This neighborhood is located immediately adjacent to the I-405 Freeway right -of -way, and any further encroachment into this residential neighborhood would be extremely detrimental to the neighborhood and to the City of Seal Beach. o The Initial Study indicated any impacts to prime farmlands "are expected to be less than significant ". Appendix G of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) states that a project will have a significant impact if it would "convert prime" agricultural lands to non - agricultural use or impair the agricultural productivity of "prime" agricultural land. Therefore, any loss of "prime agricultural land" is a significant impact under CEQA, and the Initial Study should be revised to indicate this potential significant impact. ❑ The City requested the air quality analysis include an analysis of CO "hotspots" at adjacent freeway on/off ramp locations, and development of appropriate mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a level of insignificance. ❑ Impacts to existing recreational opportunities should indicate the City of Seal Beach is currently processing a development application for the Bixby Old Ranch Towne Center project which, if ultimately approved by the City Council, would dedicate the existing Bixby Old Ranch Tennis Club to the City of Seal Beach as a public recreation facility. This existing recreation facility is located immediately adjacent to the I-405 Freeway. In addition, this section should indicate if the proposed project would impact the existing bicycle/equestrian trail along the San Gabriel River, which is a regional trail providing access from the pacific Ocean to the San Gabriel Mountains. At this time staff has not reviewed the complete document; that will occur during the next few weeks, in conjunction with the analysis requested for authorization by the City Council for consultant assistance in reviewing this important document in a timely and thorough manner. Project Overview Project Altematives and Potential Areas of Concern to City of Seal Beach: Project Overview: The project under consideration in the DEIR/EIS proposes to improve State Route 22 (SR- 22) from SR -55 to I-405 (20.1 km) and I-405 from SR -22 to I -605 (5.3 km) inclusive of the freeway -to- freeway interchanges, as well as a section of the former Pacific Electric right -of- way between SR -22 in the City of Garden Grove and Bristol Street in downtown Santa Ana (4.5. km), and is known collectively as the SR- 22/West Orange County Connection. SR 22 BEM -EIS Raeipt.CC Staff Repon 2 City Council Staff Report re: Receipt of "Stare Route 22/West Orange County Connection Draft Environmental Impact Report and Environmental Impact Statement- September 10, 2001 The SR- 22/West Orange County Connection has insufficient capacity on the freeway and major adjacent surface streets to handle existing and projected travel demand between the SR -55 interchange and the Los Angeles County fine, and to and from destinations within the corridor. The situation is aggravated by inadequate freeway interchanges, lack of continuous parallel arterial routes and available arterial/intersection capacity, absence of alternatives to single - occupant - vehicle travel (HOV lanes or transit services); and lack of a major program of Transportation System Management (TSM)/Enhanced Bus strategies. Potential transportation improvements considered as part of the SR- 22/West Orange County Connection project include: ❑ A new High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane in both directions between the I405 and SR -55 ❑ An additional HOV lane in both directions of 1405 between 1-605 and SR -22 • Direct freeway -to- freeway HOV connectors between: ❑ I -605 and I-405 (both directions) ❑ 1-405 and SR -22 (both directions) ❑ Eastbound SR -22 and southbound I -5 ❑ Northbound 1 -5 and westbound SR -22 a Eastbound SR -22 and northbound SR -55 - ❑ Southbound SR -55 and westbound SR -22 • A continuous auxiliary lane in both directions of SR -22 between Beach Boulevard and 1 -5 ❑ A new limited- access arterial branching south from SR -22 along the former Pacific Electric right -of -way to central Santa Ana Project Alternatives: The SR- 22AVest Orange County Connection project alternatives involve transportation improvements to the SR -22 corridor, including portions of the 1405 and I -605. Alternatives under consideration include: No Build Alternative — Both CEQA and NEPA require environmental documents to consider a no-action or no-project alternative. This alternative represents the status quo, or what would happen if none of the project elements included in the other alternatives are implemented. The No Build Alternative encompasses only improvements to the transportation network that have already been approved and funded. No capital improvements for SR -22 are included under this alternative. The No Build Alternative represents the existing highway, HOV, bus, fixed guideway, and Advanced Transportation Systems (ATS), plus all transportation improvements programmed to be implemented by 2020, as outlined in OCTA's Fast Forward Long -Range Transportation Plan (FFCP) Baseline Scenario. SR 22 DEn1 -EIS Remipt.CC SmR Repon City Council Staff Report re: Receipt of "State Route 22IWest Orange County Connection Draft Environmental Impact Report and Environmental Impact Statement" September 10, 2001 o TSM/Expanded Bus Service Alternative — The TSM/Expanded Bus Service Alternative includes all of the improvements outlined in the No Build Alternative, in conjunction with additional TSM and transit service strategies in the SR -22 corridor, such as more buses, extended routes, and shorter headways (less time between buses). This alternative does not any capital improvements to the SR -22. o Full Build Alternative (Project Proposed) — The Full Build Alternative includes all of the elements of the No Build and the TSM/Expanded Bus Service Alternatives, as well as the specific project elements discussed above under " Proiect Overview ". ❑ Reduced Build Alternative — This alternative was created by eliminating certain elements of the Full Build Alternative. The three major elements not included in this alternative are: ❑ The new arterial in the Pacific Electric right -of -way into Santa Ana; ❑ The HOV connectors between the SR -22 and I -5; and ❑ The HOV connectors between the SR -22 and SR -55. These elements were eliminated to reduce environmental impacts related primarily to right -of -way acquisition. A copy of the "Summary", `Table of Contents ", "List of Tables" and "List of Figures" are provided as Attachment 2 for the information of the City Council, interested citizens, and the EQCB. hl addition, a "Briefing Book" has been distributed by Caltrans and OCCA, and this document provides a summary of project alternatives, project benefits, project impacts and right -of -way needs, proposed soundwalls, public review and outreach, cost estimates and time schedule. A copy of the "Briefing Book" is provided as Attachment 3. Potential Areas of Concern to City of Seal Beach: - In a preliminary scan of the subject DEIR/EIS staff has identified the following areas of concern that will require detailed review, analysis, and formulation of comments and concerns in a draft comment letter for EQCB and City Council consideration: Potential acquisition of 6 homes within College Park East along Almond Avenue east of Almond Park. Design alternatives will be investigated to eliminate the necessity of acquiring any residential structures within the City, and preliminary discussions with Caltrans has already been initiated by City staff to discuss this major concem of the City. Potential design alternatives to be investigated by staff/consultants will include but not be limited to: ❑ Realignment of freeway design to the south, requiring additional land acquisition from the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station; not impacting College Park East. SR 22 DEIR -EIS Rweip.CC Seen Report City Council Staff Report re. Receipt of "State Route 221West Orange County Connection Draft Environmental Impact Report and Environmental Impact Statement" September 10, 2001 ❑ Reduction in the width of Almond Avenue and the use of approved design variations in lane width for the freeway lanes to not require a taking of the indicated residential structures. This could result in no parking on the southerly side of Almond Avenue east of Almond Park. o Aesthetic impacts of Noise Walls upon College Park East residential community and park facilities, including Old Ranch Tennis Club, which is to dedicated to the City by the Bixby Ranch Company. ❑ Aesthetic impacts upon College Park East and Leisure World of the proposed freeway -to- freeway HOV connectors at I -405 to I -605 and at I -405 to SR -22. a Noise impacts of realignments of travel lanes, including noise impacts of any elevated HOV connectors. ❑ Light and glare impacts of realigned travel lanes and any elevated HOV connectors. ❑ Potential phasing issues in the design/construction of the Seal Beach Boulevard overpass at the I-405. a Potential impacts to city pump stations and water reservoir facilities adjacent to the I-405 and SR -22. This could have significant cost impacts to the City. Other areas of concern may be discussed in final City comment letter upon further review and analysis of the DERVEIS document. Request for Consultant Assistance in Reviewing DEIR/EIS and Preparing City Comment Letter: Staff has contacted Culbertson, Adams & Associates regarding the provision of consultant review services to assist in this effort. Culbertson, Adams & Associates prepared the EIR for the Bixby Old Ranch Towne Center Project and is familiar with the traffic, noise, air quality, and aesthetic issues of the City and the College Park East community. Their previous experience with the environmental issues and concerns of this area of the City would be extremely helpful to staff, and they have the capability of responding to this work assignment. Staff is recommending the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Culbertson, Adams & Associates to undertake a review of the subject document and assist staff in preparing a comment letter for EQCB and City Council review and approval, in an amount not to exceed $7,500.00. Existing staff responsibilities will not allow for a full staff review of the subject DEIR/EIS.

The City of Seal Beach has funding approval through Measure M, the Growth Management Areas (GMAs), the County of Orange Master Plan of Arterial Highways, and other funding sources for a bridge - widening project at Seal Beach Boulevard. The City is currently processing a Daft OR for the Bixby Old Ranch Towne Center Project, and will begin the public hearing process for the requested General Plan amendments and Zone Changes for the proposed project in July-August, 1998. Development Impact fees from the proposed project would provide the majority of the local matching funds for the bridge widening project. The City of Seal Beach is concerned about coordination issues relating to the bridge widening project and the impacts of the various alternatives bung considered by OCTA and Caltrans in relation to this portion of the project area. The City requests early consutation between our staff and OCCA/Caltrans staff to resolve issues of concern. The City takes this opportunity to go on record as being extremely concerned about any right-of-way acquisition that would impact the College park Fart neighborhood, north of the I-405 freeway between Seal Beach Boulevard and Valley View Street. This neighborhood is located immediately adjacent to the 1-405 Freeway right -of -way, and any further encroachment into this residential neighborhood would be extremely detrimental to the neighborhood and to the City of Seal Beach.

IM In reviewing the "Notice of Preparation ", the City has three comments regarding the Initial Study Checklist. The first comment relates to page 13, Item l.d. - Affect agricultural resources. It is noted that the Initial Study indicates any impacts to prime farmlands "are expected to be less than significant". Appendix G of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) states that a project will have a significant impact if it would "convert prime" agricultural lands to non - agricultural use or impair the agricultural productivity of " prime" agricultural land. Therefore, any loss of "prime agricultural land" is a significant impact under CEQA, and the Initial Study should be revised to indicate this potential significant impact. Secondly, page 19 discusses air quality impacts. The City requests the air quality analysis include an analysis of CO "hotspots" at adjacent freeway on/off tamp locations, and development of appropriate mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a level of insignificance. Lastly, page 29 discusses impacts to existing recreational opportunities. This section should be revised to indicate the City of Seal Beach is currently processing a development applici don for the Bixby Old Ranch Towne Center project which, if ultimately approved by the City Council, would dedicate the existing Bixby Old Ranch Tennis Club to the City of Sea] Beach as a public recreation facility. This existing recreation facility is located immediately adjacent to the 1-405 Freeway. In addition, this section should indicate if the proposed project would impact the existing bicycle/equestrian trail along the San Gabriel River, which is a regional trail providing access from the Pacific Ocean to the San Gabriel Mountains. Please provide copies of future documentation regarding this project to Mr. Lee Whittenberg, Director of Development Services, City of Seal Beach, 211 Eighth Street, Seal Beach, CA 90740, if you have any questions regarding this matter please contact Mr. Whittenberg at (562) 431 -2527, extension 213.

The purpose of the proposed SR- 22/West Orange County Connection project is to mprove mobility and enhance safety within the corridor, while minimizing environmental and economic impacts. Under existing conditions, SR -22 does not meet the capacity needs of the area. To provide a higher level of operation for existing and anticipated traffic volumes, the alternatives for the proposed SR- 22NJest Orange County Connection improvements include incorporating up -to -date technological traffic control systems, enhancing interchanges and ramp configurations, improving auxiliary highway lanes and adjacent arterials, providing high - occupancy - vehicle (HOV) lanes and allowing atldtiional travel mode choices. Potential impacts include those related to cultural and biological resources, community cohesion, residential and non - residential displacements, transportation and circulation, noise, parks, and visual resources. Comments should be sent to Leslie Manderscheid at the address shown above by State Route 221Nest Orange County Connection DEIR/EIS S.0 SUMMARY S.1 INTRODUCTION This Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (DEIR/EIS) identifies the pur- pose and need for the State Route 22NVest Orange County Connection (SR- 22NVOCC), describes the alternatives being considered to address the purpose and need, and documents the potential environ- mental effects of these alternatives pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This DEIR/EIS is divided into two volumes: Volume I, which includes the analysis, and Volume II, which includes public scoping meetings minutes, and public notices. Technical reports are under separate cover. SR -22 is an existing . six -lane freeway in Orange County that provides connections to five major freeways: Interstate 605 (1-605), Interstate 405 (1 -405), Interstate 5 (1 -5), State Route 57 (SR -57), and State Route 55 (SR -55). Built in the 1960s, SR -22 is one of only two east/west freeways in Orange County. As a re- sult of its unique orientation, it crosses most of the major north/south arterial corridors in the central county and, consequently, has become a vital link in providing mobility to Orange County residents, work- ers, and visitors. The SR -22 West Orange County Connection project length is approximately 21 kilometers (13 miles) and extends from 1 -605 to SR -55 . The SR- 22NVest Orange County Connection passes through seven juris- dictions. From west to east along SR -22, these jurisdictions are: Los Alamitos, Orange County (unincor- porated community of Rossmoor), Seal Beach, Westminster, Garden Grove, Santa Ana, and Orange. The study area is also located immediately adjacent to Tustin.

The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is a responsible agency un- der CEQA, and is a co- applicant with Caltrans for Transportation Congestion Relief Program (TCRP) funding. The State Route 22 (SR- 22)NVest Orange County Connection project alternatives involve transportation improvements to the SR -22 corridor, including portions of 1-405 and 1-605. Four alternatives are currently under consideration: No Build Alternative, Transportation System Management/Expanded Bus Service Alternative, Full Build Alternative, and Reduced Build Alternative. Potential transportation improvements considered as part of the SR- 22NVest Orange County Connection project include: • a new High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane in both directions between 1-405 and SR -55 • an additional HOV lane in both directions of 1405 between 1 -605 and SR -22 • direct freeway -to- freeway HOV connectors between • 1 -605 and 1 -405 (both directions) • 1405 and SR -22 (both directions) • Eastbound SR -22 and southbound 1 -5 • Northbound 1 -5 and westbound SR -22 Summary i August 2001 State Route 221West Orange County Connection DEIPJEIS • Eastbound SR -22 and northbound SR -55 • Southbound SR -55 and westbound SR -22 • a continuous auxiliary lane in both directions of SR -22 between Beach Boulevard and 1 -5 • a new limited- access arterial branching south from SR -22 along the former Pacific Electric right -of- way to central Santa Ana 5.1.1 CURRENT OPERATING HOV FACILITIES IN ORANGE COUNTY HOV lanes are currently available on all freeways in Orange County with the exception of SR -22 In November 1985, SR -55 became the first freeway in Orange County to dedicate one lane of traffic in each direction to high occupancy vehicles (HOVS). The HOV lanes extend 11.6 miles in each direction for a total of 22.6 miles of HOV lanes on SR -55. On SR -57, there is a total of 23.4 miles of dedicated HOV lanes which were opened in two phases. The portion extending from the 1- 5/SR- 22/SR -57 interchange to Lambert Road opened in .June 1992. In August 1997 the HOV lanes in each direction were extended to the Los Angeles County Line. On 1-405, four phases of HOV lanes have been opened over a span of nine years. The first segment from 1 -5 to SR -73 opened in May 1989. Three months later, the second segment from SR -73 to the 1- 40511-605 separation opened. By the time the fourth segment was completed in October 1998, a total of 48.6 miles of HOV lanes were added to 1-405. In October 1992, drivers of HOV vehicles began taking advantage of HOV lanes on 1 -5. A seven -mile HOV lane in each direction remained the only segment on the Interstate for four years until subsequent segments opened in May and July1996. Two more segments followed and the HOV lanes were com- pleted in September 2000. 1 -5 has a total of 69.6 miles of HOV lanes. S.2 PURPOSE OF THE DEIR/EIS The goals of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) are to assure that governmental actions or activities promote the general welfare, to allow people and nature to live in productive harmony, and to fulfill the social, economic, and environmental require- ments of present and future generations. Under CEQA, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is pre- pared when a project may have impacts to the environment that cannot be mitigated below the thresholds of significance. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is prepared under NEPA to address the envi- ronmental impacts which are likely to result from implementation of the Federal action and to consider reasonable mitigation for adverse impacts. The DEIR/EIS is distributed to the public, potentially affected agencies, and other interested parties. Following an opportunity for the public, agencies, and interested parties to comment, a Final EIR/EIS (FEIR/EIS) would be prepared, which incorporates responses to all comments received and identifies the lead agency's Preferred Alternative. Although CEQA and NEPA share many similarities, there are differences between them that would have to be satisfied for this joint environmental document. CEQA has thresholds of significance, to be used as bases for determining mitigation. NEPA determines level of significance based on context and intensity. Under NEPA, all impacts are discussed regardless of any thresholds amount and include mitigation measures where reasonable. This DEIR /EIS is organized in a manner that satisfies both CEQA and NEPA regulations. The "Summary of Impacts Table (5.5 -1)" in the Summary (S.0) section describes the impacts to environmental resources for each alternative (No Build, TSM /Expanded Bus Service, Full Build and Reduced Build). The "Impact" Summary ii August 2001 State Route 221VVest Orance Countv Connection DEIPJEIS and "Mitigation" columns in the Summary of Impacts Table discuss environmental issues to comply with CEQA and NEPA. The "Level of Significance after Mitigation (CEQA only)" column discusses specifically the level of significance for CEQA compliance. Section 4.0, titled "Environmental Consequences ", is di- vided into fifteen subsections, one for each affected environment such as air quality, cultural resources, and hazardous waste. This section discusses impacts to environmental resources for all alternatives un- der consideration and describes mitigation measures. Under each subsection, there are separate discus- sions on level of significance for the CEQA process. S.3 PURPOSE AND NEED FOR THE PROJECT The purpose of the proposed SR- 22/West Orange County Connection project is to improve both existing and future mobility and enhance safety throughout the corridor while minimizing environmental and eco- nomic impacts. The study area includes SR -22, bounded by SR -55 and the Los Angeles county line and the interchanges between SR -22 and the connecting freeways within these same boundaries. The project seeks to accomplish the following goals: • Improve mobility and reduce congestion n the SR- 22NVest Orange County Connection study area • Maximize cost - effectiveness of the SR- 22NVest Orange County Connection improvements • Minimize adverse and maximize beneficial environmental impacts to SR- 22/West Orange County Connection communities • Minimize negative and maximize positive economic impacts to SR- 22ANest Orange County Connec- tion communities Currently, the SR -22 corridor has insufficient capacity on both the freeway and major adjacent surface streets to handle existing and projected 2020 travel demand between the SR -55 interchange and the Los Angeles County line, and to and from destinations within the proposed project area. The situation is ag- gravated by a lack of continuous parallel arterial routes and available arterial /intersection capacity. There is little incentive or opportunity for individual drivers to switch from single- occupancy vehicles (SOVS) to carpooling or transit without dedicated facilities for this purpose. That is, if SOV drivers cannot decrease their commute times because there are no dedicated lanes for high - occupancy vehicles (HOVs) or buses only, they are more likely to forego carpooling or using transit in favor of driving alone. In addition, there are no major programs in the SR -22 corridor to implement Transportation System Management (TSM), Transportation Demand Management (TDM), and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) strategies. With projected population and employment growth trends indicating increased transportation volumes, this situation is expected to worsen. The proposed SR- 22NVest Orange County Connection improvements are anticipated to provide a higher level of operation for existing and anticipated traffic volumes by incor- porating up -to -date technological traffic control systems and other transportation transportation improve- ments, and offering additional travel mode choices. Section 1.0 of this document includes further information about the SR- 22/West Orange County Connec- tion purpose and need. S.4 PROJECT ALTERNATNES During the Major Investment Study (MIS) process for the SR- 22NVest Orange County Connection project, an extensive number and variety of potential transportation strategies for addressing the project's purpose and needs were evaluated and screened until the remaining four alternatives were carried forward for analysis in this document. These four alternatives are briefly described below and are described in more detail in Section 2.0, which also covers the alternative screening process. The entire alternative screen- ing process is documented in the MIS (available at Caltrans, OCTA, and major libraries). Summary iii August 2001 State Route 2ZWest Orange County Connection _ DEIR/EIS S.4.1 No Build Alternative Both CEOA and NEPA require environmental documents to consider a no-action or no- project alternative. This alternative represents the status quo, or what would happen if none of the project elements included in the other alternatives were implemented. The No Build Alternative for the SR- 22M/est Orange County Connection project represents the future baseline condition in the year 2020. The No Build Alternative encompasses only improvements to the transportation network that have already been approved and funded. No capital improvements for SR -22 are included under this alternative. The No Build Alternative incorporates all of the elements of the OCTA 1998 FastForward Long -Range Transportation Plan (FFTP) Baseline Scenario. The FFTP Baseline Scenario also includes the 1995 Combined Transportation Fund- ing Program (CTFP) data. In addition, the No Build Alternative includes all city or developer projects not in the 1995 CTFP that have been approved and funded. Throughout this document, the other project al- tematives are compared to this No Build Alternative as a baseline condibon.2 Also included in the No Build Alternative are all of the elements of the No Build and Transportation Sys- tem Management (TSM) alternatives defined in OCTA's The Corridor Major Investment Study Final Evaluation Report, which was adopted by the OCTA Board on June 9, 1997.3 Descriptions of these ele- ments are contained in the MIS Evaluation Report. The No Build Alternative represents the existing high- way. HOV, bus, fixed guideway, and Advanced Transportation Systems (ATS), plus all transportation im- provements programmed to be implemented by 2020, as outlined in OCTA's FFTP Baseline Scenario. On February 12, 2001, SCAG released a Letter of Completion for the SR -22 West Orange County Connec- tion Final MIS. According to the SCAG letter, "the range of alternatives studied in the SR -22 West Or- ange County Connection Final MIS Evaluation Report is sufficient to meet the requirements of the region- ally significant transportation investments study (RSTIS) guidelines. Adequate public involvement was utilized in the planning process through workshops and public hearings. Moreover, public agency in- volvement was facilitated by numerous meetings and RSTIS Peer Review Group Meetings." S.4.2 TSM /Expanded Bus Service Alternative The TSM /Expanded Bus Service Alternative includes all of the improvements outlined in the No Build AI- temative, such as OCTA's FFTP Baseline Scenario and the No Build and TSM alternatives. In conjunc- tion with these improvements, the TSM/Expanded Bus Service Alternative incorporates additional TSM and transit service strategies in the SR -22 corridor, such as more buses, extended routes, and shorter headways (less time between buses). The TSM alternative represents implementation of lowercost capi- tal improvements, such as increased bus service with associated arterial improvements. The TSM/Expanded Bus Service Alternative does not include any capital improvements to SR -22. S.4.3 Full Build Alternative The Full Build Alternative includes all of the elements contained in the No Build and TSM /Expanded Bus Service ARematives, as well as specific elements that address HOV system connectivity. This alternative would add an HOV lane in each direction on SR -22. The SR -22 HOV connectors were added September 1997 with the expansion of the project, which included the West Orange County Connection. This ele- ment was incorporated in response to public outreach, which identified HOV system completion as a high priority. HOV connectors, in particular, were perceived as important, especially in regards to the safety and efficiency of the system. The HOV connectors allows the system to accommodate long distance travel for carpools and buses, while enabling the smooth flow of vehicles between freeways to avoid chokepoints at major interchanges. It would also provide an additional HOV lane in each direction on 1405 between 1{05 and SR -22. It would provide direct freeway -to- freeway HOV connectors between 1-005 and 1405, between 1405 and SR -22, between SR -22 and 1 -5, and between SR -22 and SR -55. The Full Build Alternative would also construct a new arterial in the former Pacific Electric right-of-way in Gar - 2 Both the FFTP and CTFP are available at OCTA. 3 Discussion of the MIS is in Section 1.2.7. The Corridor MIS Final Evaluation Report is available at OCTA. Summary iv August 2001 State Route 22IWest Orange County Connection DE/R/EIS den Grove and Santa Ana, on land currently owned by OCTA. This arterial, which would connect SR -22 with both Santa Ana Boulevard and Civic Center Drive, would provide direct access to and from SR -22 and downtown Santa Ana. The Full Build Alternative also includes selected design improvements to en- hance the operational characteristics of the SR -22 facility in certain locations that currently create bottle- necks for motorists. These include elements such as interchange spacing, shoulder widths, and median widths that must be approved by Caltrans. Under the Full Build Alternative, the freeways within the SR- 22NVest Orange County Connection project would maintain standard lane widths with some excep- tions to advisory and mandatory design standards such as interchange spacing, shoulder widths, and median widths that must be approved by Caltrans.4 SAA Reduced Build Alternative The Reduced Build Alternative includes all of the elements contained in the No Build and TSM /Expanded Bus Service Alternatives, as well as some of the elements of the Full Build Alternative. The Reduced Build Altemative was created by eliminating certain elements of the Full Build Alternative from the project design. The three major elements not included in the Reduced Build Alternative are the new arterial in the former Pacific Electric right -of -way, the HOV connectors between SR -22 and 1 -5, and the HOV connectors between SR -22 and SR -55. These elements were eliminated to reduce environmental impacts related primarily to right -of -way acquisition. The Reduced Build Alternative also includes selected design im- provements to enhance the operational characteristics of the SR -22 facility in certain locations as de- scribed in the Full Build Alternative. The horizontal alignment of the Reduced Build Alternative varies slightly from the Full Build Alternative in the eastern Garden Grove/western Orange area. S.5 PROJECT IMPACTSIMITIGATION Table S.5 -1 summarizes the potential environmental impacts anticipated for each alternative of the pro- posed project, organized by topic and alternative. These topics are fully discussed in Sections 3.0 and 4.0, and in the technical analyses. The proposed SR -22 West Orange County Connection project has potential community (right -of -way), cultural, noise, and visual environmental impacts. The community im- pacts would generally be addressed with relocation assistance. Impacts to cultural resources are relative to the Pacific Electric (PE) Arterial in the Full Build Alternative, The noise impacts would be addressed with the implementation of noise barriers. The removal of existing vegetation would be associated with visual impacts, and all efforts would be made to preserve existing landscaping. Where possible, new landscaping would be placed where it can be sufficiently maintained and irrigated. These impacts long their mitigation measures are further discussed in Section 4.0 of the DEIR/EIS and the technical reports. Recognizing that this project is in response to the increased demands placed on the SR -22 both by local land use development as well as by regional demands for an east -west corridor, the impacts that it may cause are more than balanced by the benefit it is providing. Additionally, construction of the proposed SR -22 HOV connectors would improve east -west mobility between Orange and Los Angeles Counties, thereby indirectly improving mobility on other freeways such as 1 -5, 1-405, IE05, SR -55, and SR -57 that connect to the SR -22 freeway. S.6 COORDINATION WITH RESOURCE AGENCIES One of the goals of CEOA/NEPA is to ensure early coordination and consultation with resource agencies. Depending on the environmental impacts to a resource, one or several resources agencies may be con- tacted during the environmental document phase for consultation to address potential project impacts to resources. If the resource agency determines an impact to its resources, the project proponent may be required to obtain applicable permits. Although the permit process may not occur unfit a later phase in the 4 The Full Build Alternative is referred to as the "Build Alternative" in the technical reports, which were prepared before the development of the Reduced Build Alternative. The Reduced Build Alternative is addressed in addenda to each technical report. Summary v August 2001 State Route 221 West Orange County Connection DEIR/EIS project, early coordination is required. This would allow the project proponent and the resources agency to determine the required permit(s) and methods to minimize the potential impacts to the resources. During the early phase of the SR -22 WOCC proposed project, Caltrans initiated coordination with several resources agencies to determine the possible required permits. The regulatory agencies were contacted as part of the coordination and consultation efforts: A. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ( USFWS): As part of the coordination and consultation efforts, in June 2000 Caltrans contacted USFWS requesting information on sensitive/listed species that potentially occur within the limits of the SR- 22M/est Orange County Connection study area. B. California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG): A Section 1601 Streambed /Lake Alteration Agreement from CDFG may be required if there is diversion or obstruction in the natural Flow or change of the bed, channel, or bank of any river, stream, or lake, or use of any material from a streambed, designated by the Department as an existing fish or wildlife resource. C. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE): Caltrans, OCTA, and the SR- 22/West Orange County Connection consultants have informally consulted with the Corps regarding permitting for the various project elements. Specifically, a draft NEPA/Section 404 Permit Process Determination Preliminary Information Package was prepared. The Section 404 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) process was not applied because of the anticipated applicability of a nationwide 404 per- mit D. State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO): Caltrans has provided the Historic Property Survey Report, Historic Architectural Survey Report, and the Negative Archaeological Survey Report to FHWA for transmittal to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). The SHPO conclusion on the HPSR and Determination of Effect Finding of Adverse Effect (DOEIFOE) documentation are as follows: • SHPO concurs with FHWA's determination that the Full Build Alternative, with its proposed Pacific Electrical Arterial component, would have an adverse effect on the Pacific Elec- triGSanta Ana Bridge (a National Register eligible property) if selected as the preferred alter- native; • SHPO concurs that the Reduced Build Alternative, if selected as the preferred alternative, would have no effect on historic properties.. summary vi August 2001 h Q a m= NQ m H Q f m J Q omv q E mE 0 C Rk -Z Z JCgmf 0c m°c mVL > �Ea3 a 5m3 5c o - m° c c u im m E a m E° o �! xc'E°m m q m E „Bv °cmv� —o.. qm °E m Eqs .2 =0S TEq m` E m a v c m i '° m u c N N e e a Ems E u o.m m.°_n �Em— co m u m m E 'a5 m w m noa o.�a m o 0 m ° `m o= Er - -` �uE Imoma> u2. a -0 w m m ma m a3 °m c Nmo E' 3g�'° Qom`oq om'm"y E� mPm am r ami imp 5 P a Po °c> me amp °a m F3 o m m t u 2 m N q a m m E m c m g o m E m a o o g d v c E E E o° E° m :� Imoaav gcm E p"m mN. :o EaoQ N c'o Im m m_m'°° w,`e$uSad o om 'mmcaacm� 2omy aE T P � q'cam O j �• O N C m m>° a N O- a g m b mmm � E E �N °9cm �'mx�EmO ai c3am o3�Na Ln_coo ` m..

It provides connections to five major freeways in Orange County: 1 -605, 1-405, 1 -5, SR- 57 and SR -55. • Built in the 1960s, SR -22 is one of only two east/west freeways in the county. • Due to its unique orientation, it crosses most of the major north /south arterial corridors in central Orange County. • SR -22 passes through seven jurisdictions: Los Alamitos, Orange County (unincorporated community of Rossmoor), Seal Beach, Westminster, Garden Grove, Santa Ana and Orange. 2 SR- 221West Orange County Connection PURPOSE AND NEED The purpose of the State Route 22 / West Orange County Connection (SR- 22NVOCC) is to improve mobility and better accommodate existing and future traffic demand within the SR -22 corridor. The project aims to: • Improve operations in the SR- 22NVOCC study area in light of future travel demand; • Maximize cost - effectiveness of improvements; • Minimize adverse environmental and economic impacts to communities while maximizing project benefits. The SR -22 is the only freeway that has not been the recent focus of major corridor improvements. The area has insufficient capacity on both the freeway and major adjacent surface streets to handle existing and projected 2020 travel demand; Y': lack of parallel roadways and available arterialrintersection capacity mits mobility; SR -22 is the only major freeway in the county that does not have carpool lanes for commuters. 3 SR- 221West Orange County Connection PROJECT MILESTONES December 9, 1996 The OCTA Board authorizes a Major Investment Study (MIS), preliminary engineering, and environmental analysis and documentation for the widening of the SR -22. September 1997 Extensive outreach is conducted to engage the public, cities to July 1998 and regional agencies in the MIS process, revealing SR -22 improvements as a top priority as well as a preference for freeway alternatives. January 26, 1998 The OCTA Board approves MIS alternatives for study, including No Build, transit, general purpose lanes, High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, direct connectors, and an arterial link using OCTA's Pacific Electric right of way (PE Arterial). November 9, 1998 The OCTA Board elects to study three alternatives — No Build, Transportation Systems ManagementlExpanded Bus, and a Build option. The Build Alternative includes carpool lanes on SR -22, HOV connectors at 1 -40511 -605, 1- 405/SR -22, SR- 22/1 -5 and SR- 22/SR -55 as well as the PE Arterial. April 26, 1999 The Build Alternative is augmented with a chokepoint project at the SR- 57 /SR- 22fThe City Drive. January 24, 2000 The OCTA Board adds a Reduced Impact Build option due to extensive right of way impacts associated with the Build alternative. This option eliminates the PE Arterial and the SR- 22/1 -5 and SR- 22/SR -55 HOV connectors. July 6, 2000 Governor Gray Davis signs Assembly Bill 2928 resulting in the Transportation Congestion Relief Program (TCRP), which includes $206.5 million for HOV lanes on SR -22. January 25, 2001 Caltrans, District 12 assumes the role of "lead agency" to complete the environmental process. August 31, 2001 Caltrans releases the Draft Environmental Impact Report and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIR /S). SR- 22IWest Orange County Connection DESCRIPTION OF ALTERNATIVES A) NO BUILD ALTERNATIVE The No Build Alternative is the no- action or no- project alternative that provides a baseline scenario for comparison with other alternatives. The No Build: • Represents the future baseline condition in the year 2020; • Includes transportation improvements that have already been approved and funded; Does not include any capital improvements for SR -22. B) TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT /EXPANDED BUS ALTERNATIVE (TSM /EXPANDED BUS) The TSM /Expanded Bus Alternative includes all of the improvements in the No Build Alternative and incorporates additional operational and transit service enhancements. The TSM /Expanded Bus Alternative: Includes more buses, extended routes and less time between buses as well as operational improvements to parallel streets such as signal synchronization, ramp metering, and other intelligent transportation system measures; Does not include any capital improvements to SR -22 5 SR- 22NUest Orange County Connection C) FULL BUILD ALTERNATIVE The Full Build Alternative includes all of the elements of the No Build and TSM /Expanded Bus Alternatives, as well as specific elements that address HOV system connectivity. The Full Build: • Adds an HOV lane in each direction on SR -22 from Valley View to SR -55; • Adds continuous auxiliary lanes westbound from Brookhurst Street to Beach Boulevard and eastbound from Beach Boulevard to 1 -5; • Provides direct freeway -to- freeway HOV connectors between 1 -605/1 -405, 1- 405/SR -22, SR- 22/1 -5 and SR- 22/SR -55; • Introduces a new arterial along the former Pacific Electric right -of -way (PE Arterial) in Garden Grove and Santa Ana, and; • Includes design improvements to maximize freeway operations.

TRASK AVE WESTMINSTER BLVD CIVIL CENTER DR SANTA ANA BLVD SR- 22NUest Orange County Connection D) REDUCED IMPACT BUILD ALTERNATIVE The Reduced Impact Build Alternative eliminates certain elements of the Full Build Alternative to reduce environmental impacts that are primarily related to right -of -way acquisition. • Three major elements not included in the Reduced Impact Build Alternative are the SR- 22/1 -5 HOV connector, the SR- 22/SR -55 HOV connector and the PE Arterial. • The Reduce Impact Build Alternative includes all of the elements in the No Build and TSM /Expanded Bus Alternatives. • The Reduced Impact Build Alternative includes design improvements to maximize freeway operations. &MIF AUX LANE NE AU %LANE CONNECTORS 6051405 CONN 721405 ECTORS AUXILIARY LANES NOV uuxvEs i -- i--�i © neuarLaNEs i SR- 22/West Orange County Connection Feature SR -22 High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes '(TCRP Project) 1 -405/1 -605 HOV Connectors SR -22/1 -405 HOV 'Connectors - SR- 22/1 -5 HOV Connectors SR- 221SR -55 HOV` Connectors Pacific Electric Arterial ALTERNATIVE FEATURES (As Compared with "No Build ") Full Reduced Build Impact TSM Build X X X X X X X X Beach Boulevard ramp X X Southbound (SB) SR -57 to Westbound(WB) SR- ,..X X: 221The City Drive Chokepoint Improvement Collector-Distributor Eastbound (EB) SR -22 to X X 1 -5 IN Description /Purpose Corridor -wide HOV to close system gap Direct HOV ramp, avoid weaving of HOV trips between freeways Direct HOV ramp,,avoid weaving Direct HOV ramp, avoid weaving Direct HOV ramp, avoid weaving East -west expressway to /from downtown Santa Ana to ease congestion at SR -22 and 1 -5 Eliminate traffic conflicts between motorists travelingSB on SR -57 to WB on SR -22 and those exiting at The City Drive Transition zone to separate SR -22 through trips from on /off trips along EB SR -22 at Bristol and 1 -5 Additional capacity to accommodate short distances between on /off ramps west of 1 -5 Improve operations, safety Improve operations, safety Includes signal synchronization on parallel facilities, ramp metering, changeable message signs, etc. Add express bus service along freeway and parallel routes Continuous auxiliary lanes X X 1 -5 to Beach Boulevard Beach Boulevard ramp X X improvement Brookhurst Street ramp X X ,improvement Operational Improvements/ Intelligent Transportation X X X Systems Expanded Bus X X X "TSM = Transportation Systems Management IN Description /Purpose Corridor -wide HOV to close system gap Direct HOV ramp, avoid weaving of HOV trips between freeways Direct HOV ramp,,avoid weaving Direct HOV ramp, avoid weaving Direct HOV ramp, avoid weaving East -west expressway to /from downtown Santa Ana to ease congestion at SR -22 and 1 -5 Eliminate traffic conflicts between motorists travelingSB on SR -57 to WB on SR -22 and those exiting at The City Drive Transition zone to separate SR -22 through trips from on /off trips along EB SR -22 at Bristol and 1 -5 Additional capacity to accommodate short distances between on /off ramps west of 1 -5 Improve operations, safety Improve operations, safety Includes signal synchronization on parallel facilities, ramp metering, changeable message signs, etc. Add express bus service along freeway and parallel routes SR- 22/West Orange County Connection LOCAL ELEMENTS Several local projects are being considered as part of the SR -22 West Orange County Connection. These include improvements at Harbor and Seal Beach Boulevard as well as local components of the SR- 22fThe City Drive chokepoint project. A) Harbor Boulevard Bridge reconstruction is needed to widen and lengthen the structure to accommodate additional lanes proposed by the SR- 22/WOCC and Harbor Boulevard Smart Street projects. B) Seal Beach Boulevard The 1-405 /Seal Beach Boulevard overcrossing would require reconstruction to accommodate a future 1 -405/1 -605 HOV connector. C) SR -22 1The City Drive The SR- 22/The City Drive project element would redesign major freeway bottleneck area and includes both regional and local components. Regional elements include improving traffic flow between southbound SR -57 and westbound SR -22. Local elements include ramp improvements at The City Drive and a realignment of Metropolitan Drive. 10 SR- 221West Orange County Connection INTERCHANGE IMPROVEMENTS - BROOKHURSTAND BEACH Design improvements are included to maximize operations and improve identified chokepoints.

The proposed project, designated in the "Full Build Alternative" and the "Reduced Build Alternative" indicate the potential acquisition of 6 homes within Seal Beach to allow the proposed project to proceed. These proposed alternatives would directly impact your property, as identified in the DEIR/EIS. The City Council will be considering a staff report on the proposed project on Monday, September 10 at 7:30 P.M. At that time the City Council will be requested to take several actions to allow staff and the reviewing bodies of the DEIR/EIS, the City Environmental Quality Control Board and the City Council, to formulate a letter of issues and concerns regarding the project proposal and the adequacy of the environmental documentation. A copy of that City Council Staff Report is provided as an attachment for your information. As indicated in the Staff Report, several issues have been identified by City staff that will be addressed in the final comment letter on the DEIR/EIS that will be submitted by the City Council. The major issue is the proposed taking of the 6 identified residences within the City of Seal Beach. Staff will work very closely with the City retained consultants and our engineering staff to identify alternative designs to the proposed project to hopefully eliminate the need for any property acquisitions of private properties within the City. A timeline has been proposed by staff to allow for fuller public participation in the review and comment process regarding this DEIR/EIS. A City- sponsored community meeting will be held in the City Council Chambers on Tuesday, September 18 between 7:00 and 5:00 P.M. to provide a presentation of the project and the project alternatives. This C.WyD umnaW -22 DMR -ElMop y OwnerLtw.dwcLwma -o1 Letter re: Dmft EIRIEIS —SR -22 west Orange County o nect001 community presentation will focus on the overall project, with an emphasis as to impacts directly affecting the City of Seal Beach. The purpose of this community meeting to provide information regarding the proposed development and the process that is ongoing during the EIRBIS public review time period and the following decision process by Calaans and OCTA. I would urge you to attend this meeting if possible so that our staff would have an opportunity to meet you personally and discuss matters of concern to you. We understand this process may be confusing and upsetting- it our desire to provide sufficient information to you and the other residents that would be directly impacted by the proposed project to allow you to understand the process and provide comments to Caltrans and OCTA regarding specific impacts to you and your family. Please contact my office at your earliest convenience if you require additional information or have questions regarding the enclosed staff report. I can be reached at (562) 431 -2527, extension 300. In addition Mr. Ise Whittenberg, Director of Development Services, can also respond to questions and concerns you may have regarding this matter. Mr. Whittenberg can be reached at (562) 431 -2527, extension 313. Please do not hesitate to contact either of us regarding this issue. Sincerely, n B.

It provides connections to five major freeways in Orange County: 1 -605, 1405, 1 -5, SR- 57 and SR -55. • Built in the 1960s, SR -22 is one of only two east/west freeways in the county. • Due to its unique orientation, it crosses most of the major north /south arterial corridors in central Orange County. • SR -22 passes through seven jurisdictions: Los Alamitos, Orange County (unincorporated community of Rossmoor), Seal Beach, Westminster, Garden Grove, Santa Ana and Orange. 2 SR- 22WVest Orange County Connection PURPOSE AND NEED The purpose of the State Route 22 / West Orange County Connection (SR- 22/WOCC) is to improve mobility and better accommodate existing and future traffic demand within the SR -22 corridor. The project aims to: • Improve operations in the SR- 221WOCC study area in light of future travel demand; • Maximize cost - effectiveness of improvements; • Minimize adverse environmental and economic impacts to communities while maximizing project benefits. The SR -22 is the only freeway that has not been the recent focus of major corridor improvements. • The area has insufficient capacity on both the freeway and major adjacent surface streets to handle existing and projected 2020 travel demand; • A lack of parallel roadways and available arterial /intersection capacity limits mobility; • SR -22 is the only major freeway in the county that does not have carpool lanes for commuters. 3 SR- 221West Orange County Connection PROJECT MILESTONES December 9, 1996 The OCTA Board authorizes a Major Investment Study I1 I! II (MIS), preliminary engineering, and environmental analysis and documentation for the widening of the SR -22. September 1997 Extensive outreach is conducted to engage the public, cities to July 1998 and regional agencies in the MIS process, revealing SR -22 improvements as a top priority as well as a preference for freeway alternatives. January 26, 1998 The OCTA Board approves MIS alternatives for study, including No Build, transit, general purpose lanes, High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, direct connectors, and an arterial link using OCTA's Pack Electric right of way (PE Arterial). November 9, 1998 The OCTA Board elects to study three alternatives — No Build, Transportation Systems Management/Expanded Bus, and a Build option. The Build Alternative includes carpool lanes on SR -22, HOV connectors at 1 -405/1 -605, 1- 405/SR -22, SR- 22/1 -5 and SR- 22/SR -55 as well as the PE Arterial. April 26. 1999 The Build Alternative is augmented with a chokepoint project at the SR- 57 /SR- 22/The City Drive. January 24, 2000 The OCTA Board adds a Reduced Impact Build option due to extensive right of way impacts associated with the Build alternative. This option eliminates the PE Arterial and the ' SR- 22/1 -5 and SR- 22/SR -55 HOV connectors. July 6, 2000 Governor Gray Davis signs Assembly Bill 2928 resulting in the Transportation Congestion Relief Program (TCRP), which includes $206.5 million for HOV lanes on SR -22. January 25, 2001 Caltrans, District 12 assumes the role of "lead agency" to complete the environmental process. August 31, 2001 Caltrans releases the Draft Environmental Impact Report ' and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIR/S). I1 I! II SR- 22rWest Orange County Connection DESCRIPTION OF ALTERNATIVES A) NO BUILD ALTERNATIVE The No Build Alternative is the no- action or no- project alternative that provides a baseline scenario for comparison with other alternatives. The No Build: • Represents the future baseline condition in the year 2020; • Includes transportation improvements that have already been approved and funded; • Does not include any capital improvements for SR -22. B) TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT /EXPANDED BUS ALTERNATIVE (TSM/EXPANDED BUS) The TSM /Expanded Bus Alternative includes all of the improvements in the No Build Alternative and incorporates additional operational and transit service enhancements. The TSM /Expanded Bus Alternative: • Includes more buses, extended routes and less time between buses as well as operational improvements to parallel streets such as signal synchronization, ramp metering, and other intelligent transportation system measures; • Does not include any capital improvements to SR -22. r SR- 22NUest Orange County Connection C) FULL BUILD ALTERNATIVE The Full Build Alternative includes all of the elements of the No Build and TSM /Expanded Bus Alternatives, as well as specific elements that address HOV system connectivity. The Full Build: • Adds an HOV lane in each direction on SR -22 from Valley View to SR -55; • Adds continuous auxiliary lanes westbound from Brookhurst Street to Beach Boulevard and eastbound from Beach Boulevard to 1 -5; • Provides direct freeway -to- freeway HOV connectors between 1 -605/1 -405, 1405/SR -22, SR- 22/1 -5 and SR- 22/SR -55; • Introduces a new arterial along the former Pacific Electric right -of -way (PE Arterial) in Garden Grove and Santa Ana, and; • Includes design improvements to maximize freeway operations.

These include improvements at Harbor and Seal Beach Boulevard as well as local components of the SR- 22/The City Drive chokepoint project. A) Harbor Boulevard Bridge reconstruction is needed to widen and lengthen the structure to accommodate additional lanes proposed by the SR- 22/WOCC and Harbor Boulevard Smart Street projects. B) Seal Beach Boulevard The 1-405 /Seal Beach Boulevard overcrossing would require reconstruction to accommodate a future 140511 -605 HOV connector. C) SR- 22/The City Drive The SR- 221rhe City Drive project element would redesign major freeway bottleneck area and includes both regional and local components. Regional elements include improving traffic flow between southbound SR -57 and westbound SR -22. Local elements include ramp improvements at The City Drive and a realignment of Metropolitan Drive. 11 10 SR- 22/West Orange County Connection INTERCHANGE IMPROVEMENTS - BROOKHURST AND BEACH Design improvements are included to maximize operations and improve identified chokepoints.
