Re: Proposal to Prepare an Initial Study -Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS -MND) for the
Proposed Hellman Properties Solar PV Electric System
Dear Mr. Bashmakian:
MRS Environmental, Inc. is pleased to submit this proposal to assist the City of Seal Beach in
preparing an IS -MND for a proposed solar photovoltaic (PV) electrical system that would be installed
at the Hellman Ranch Oil and Gas Production Facility (OGPF), located at 711 1st Street Seal Beach,
CA, APN: 095-010-68. Hellman Properties, LLC owns and operates the OGPF on the Hellman Ranch
in Seal Beach, California. The existing Hellman Ranch OGPF site is located east of the San Gabriel
River, and north of Pacific Coast Highway in the City of Seal Beach and covers about 57 acres.
The Hellman Ranch property is zoned Oil Extraction (OE -SPR) (Specific Plan Regulation). The Hellman
Ranch Specific Plan (HRSP) was adopted by the City in October 1997.
Hellman Properties, LLC is proposing to install a 1.5 MW (DC rated) ground mounted, fixed tilt solar
PV system to produce electrical power to offset the operating needs of the various Hellman Property,
LLC oil and gas facilities. The solar PV system would be located on approximately eight acres in the
northwest corner of the property and would generate about 2,683 megawatt -hours (MWh) per year.
The solar PV facility would consist of 55 2x28 solar array tables and one 2x10 solar array table. The
solar array tables would occupy approximately 2.9 acres of the eight -acre area, which includes the
space between the tables. Each solar array table would be supported on seven pilings that would be
set in the ground using a concrete pier 18" in diameter and about 6' deep. The holes for the concrete
piers would be dug with a backhoe equipped with an auger.
The facility would also include 16 inverters, six subpanels, a disconnect switch, and a system
transformer. The powerlines connecting the solar array tables and associated equipment would be
run in conduits that would be installed in an underground trench. The system will connect with the
main SCE powerlines servicing the OGPF.
Construction of the solar PV system would take about five to six months to complete. One month of
this would be for the groundwork to install the concrete piers.

The remainder of this proposal provides the scope of work for each of the task associated with
preparation of the IS -MND; an estimated schedule, and the associated costs.
A. Scope of Work
MRS Environmental, Inc. conducted a review of other similar solar PV projects to determine the type
of CEQA reviews that were conducted and to evaluate what were the key environmental issues.
Seven ground mounted, fixed tilt solar projects were reviewed that ranged in size from 1.75 WM to
over 20 MW. For all these projects, a MND was prepared to comply with the requirements of CEQA.
Some of these projects were in previously disturbed areas, but none were in the confines of an
existing developed industrial site.
Most of the impacts that were found to be less than significant with mitigation incorporated were
associated with construction. These typically related to construction impacts on biological resources,
cultural resource, and in some cases geological/water resources. A few identified agricultural
resource and air quality construction impacts which were unique to the specific site and would not
apply to the proposed Hellman Solar PV Project site. Very few operational impacts were identified
that were consider less thane significant with mitigation incorporated, and when they were, it was
due to specific site issues such as proximity to a scenic road or highway.
Review of these other Solar PV Projects would indicate that the appropriate CEQA document for the
Hellman Solar PV Project would be an MND. These other solar PV Project MNDs along with previous
environmental documents prepared for various projects at the Hellman Ranch OGPF were used to
develop the scope and costing for the Solar PV Project IS -MND.
Each of the major tasks associated with the development of the IS -MND is discussed below.
Project Description
MRS Environmental, Inc. will develop the project description based upon the information the
Applicant has submitted as part of their application with the City. The project description will address
the need for the Project, as well as the Applicant's proposed objectives and actions to implement the
Project. The project description will include details on the construction and operational activities
associated with the proposed Project.
A review of the Applicant's application indicates that it has most of the key information needed to
develop a draft project description. However, some issues such as construction requirements and
schedule will need to be provided.
A draft Project Description will be submitted to the City and the Applicant for review and comments.
In many cases any missing project description data can be provided by the Applicant as part of their
August 1, 2022

Community Development Department
City of Seal Beach
Page 3 of 6
review of the draft project description. The Applicant review of the project description is extremely
important since the project description data will serve as the basis for assessing the impacts
associated with the proposed Project.
Environmental Analysis
The environmental analysis for the IS -MND will use the CEQA initial study checklist questions for
assessing the various environmental impacts. Attachment A provides a list of the CEQA initial study
checklist that will be used for the environmental analysis. This checklist was taken from the
Association of Environmental Professionals (AEP) 2022 CEQA Statues and Guidelines Manual.
The environmental analysis will provide a detailed discussion of the level of impact for each initial
study checklist item that would apply to the proposed Project. In some cases, the checklist items
would not apply to the proposed Project. In these cases, the reason for an item not being applicable
to the proposed Project will be discussed. Based upon the environmental analysis each checklist item
will be classified as follows:
• Potentially Significant Impact,
• Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated,
• Less Than Significant Impact, or
• No Impact.
Mitigation measures will be developed for all the checklist items that are found to be less than
significant with mitigation incorporated. It is expected that most of the impacts that will require
mitigation will be associated with construction, since operation of the solar PV system is for the most
part passive. Based upon other solar PV MNDs, and past environmental documents for projects on
the Hellman Ranch OGPF the key issue areas in the IS -MND will be biological and cultural resources.
The most recent biological and cultural studies done for the property were done in 2019. Hellman
Properties, LLC will need to update these studies to current conditions and to address the proposed
Solar PV Project site.
Public Draft IS -MND
Once the environmental analysis is complete, an Administrative Draft IS -MND will be prepared for
submittal to the City for review and comment. A preliminary outline of the IS -MND is provided in
Attachment B. As part of the Administrative Draft IS -MND a mitigation monitoring program will be
prepared that includes all the identified mitigation measures. Attachment C contains a draft
structure for the mitigation monitoring program.

It has been assumed that a MS Word copy of the Administrative Draft IS -MND will be provided to the
City and that comment and edits will be provided in the MS Word document. Any of the technical
appendices that are not created in MS Word or were prepared by the Applicant will be proved as pdf
files.
MRS Environmental, .Inc. will update the IS -MND based upon the City's comments on the
Administrative Draft IS -MND and provide the City with a Final Public Draft IS -MND that can be issued
for the required 30 -day comment period. MRS Environmental, Inc. will provide up to 10 hard copies
of the main volume of the Public Draft IS -MND. The hard copies will contain a CD that has all the
technical appendices in pdf format. The City will be provided with a pdf version of the Public Draft
IS -MND that can be placed on their website.
Response to Comments and Final IS -MND
MRS Environmental, Inc. will be responsible for developing written responses to the comments
received on the Public Draft IS -MND. As needed, the IS -MND document will be updated to address
the comments received. MRS Environmental, Inc. will submit to the City an Administrative Final IS -
MND for review and comment. It has been assumed that a MS Word copy of the Administrative Final
IS -MND will be provided to the City and that comment and edits will be provide in the MS Word
document.
MRS Environmental, Inc. will update the IS -MND based upon the City's comments on the
Administrative Final IS -MND and provide the City with a Final IS -MND. MRS Environmental, Inc. will
provide up to 10 hard copies of the main volume of the Final IS -MND. The hard copies will contain a
CD that has all the technical appendices in pdf format. The City will be provided with a pdf version of
the Final IS -MND that can be placed on their website.
For the last two MNDs prepared for projects at the Hellman Ranch OGPF (Tank Farm Project and Gas
Plant Project) between 15 and 20 comment letters were received on each MND. These were much
larger projects that involved the development of oil and gas infrastructure with greater construction
and operational impacts. Based upon this level of comments, MRS Environmental, Inc, has assumed
that up to 10 comment letters would be received on the Public Draft IS -MND that contained no more
than 45 unique comments.
Hearing Support
MRS Environmental, Inc. has included time for attendance at one Planning Commission hearing. Time
has also been included to review staff report material.

during such period, shall Developer propose to enter into any future relationship with the
Environmental Consultant or with any City official, employee, or contractor. This shall not
prevent Developer's consulting with Environmental Consultant as permitted by Section 5
of this Agreement.
(b) Developer's Representations and Warranties. Developer makes the
following representations and warranties for the twelve (12) month period preceding the
submission of its application for the Project. Developer represents and warrants that it
has not entered into any arrangement to pay financial consideration to, and has not made
any payment to, the Environmental Consultant or any of the Environmental Consultant's
agents or employees. Developer further represents and warrants that it has not entered
into any arrangement to pay financial consideration to, and has not made any payment
to, any City official, agent, or employee that would create a legally cognizable conflict of
interest as defined in the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov. Code, § 87100 of seq.).

(4) City, not Developer, shall pay employees and contractors assigned to
work on the application from a City account.
(d) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the processing of Developer's
application for the Project is not contingent on the hiring of any specific contractor.
Section 2. The Deposit; Additional Advances.
(a) Establishing and Supplementing Deposit. Within three (3) business days
following execution of this Agreement, Developer shall provide to City an initial deposit of
$ 55.268 ("Initial Deposit"), to be allocated pro. rata to reimburse City for Eligible
Expenses, as defined in Section 3(b). City shall monitor its expenses and the balance in
the deposit account and whenever it believes, in good faith, that there will be insufficient
funds to pay all of City's expenses for the next ninety (90) days, City may make a written
request for additional funds ("Additional Advances), which shall state the existing balance
and the additional amount requested. City may request the funds it reasonably believes
necessary to cover a period not exceeding ninety (90) days. The deposit account shall
generally maintain a minimum balance of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00). The Initial
Deposit and Additional Advance funds are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
3
"Deposit." Developer shall make the Additional Advance within five (5) business days of
City's written request therefor. If Developer fails to timely make the Additional Advance,
City may cease all additional work by staff and consultants on the Entitlements, until City
received the Additional Advance from Developer.
(b) Eligible Expenses. The Deposit shall be used to reimburse City for costs
incurred by City in connection with the following (all of which shall be deemed "Eligible
Expenses"): (1) preparing necessary CEQA reports and documents for the Project, and
additional supporting documentation, as necessary and appropriate in accordance with
CEQA; (ii) distributing the CEQA documentation to responsible agencies and others;
(III) noticing and holding public hearings and considering public comments on the CEQA
documents and reports; (iv) considering approval or certification of such CEQA
documents and reports and other documentation through a City Council Resolution in
accordance with CEQA; (v) preparing, negotiating, and approving the Entitlements and
conditions of the Project, including without Iimitation, the environmental documents;
(A) preparing and negotiating all further legal documents in connection with the
transaction, including, without limitation, technical reports, reclamation plans,
development agreements, owner participation agreements, leases, franchise
agreements, waste hauling agreements, franchise ordinances, and similar agreements
and instruments, as applicable; (vii) litigation and other legal costs associated with the
Project; (viii) the fees and expenses of any consultants employed by City in connection
with the Project; (ix) studies, reports, and design services related to development of any
Project -related infrastructure; and (x) any and all other actions reasonably taken by City
in connection with development of the Project.
(c) Administration of Deposit. The Deposit may be commingled with other
funds of City for purposes of investment and safekeeping. The Deposit shall not accrue
interest. City shall administer the Deposit and use the Deposit to reimburse City for
Eligible Expenses. City shall maintain satisfactory accounting records as to the
expenditure of the Deposit at all times and shall provide Developer with monthly costs
reports.
(d) Unexpended Funds. Upon approval of all necessary Entitlements, the
expiration of all applicable appeal periods, and if a legal or administrative challenge is
made to the Entitlements, then upon the resolution of such challenge in accordance with
Section 8, City shall return any then -unexpended portion of the Deposit to Developer,
without interest, less an amount equal to any unpaid Eligible Expenses previously
incurred by City.
Section 3. Compliance with CEQA Guidelines: Independent Judament
CEQA Guidelines Sections 15074 and 15090 require the lead agency to exercise
its independent judgment in approving environmental documents. Payment of the cost
of preparation of the environmental documents by Developer does not undermine the
independent preparation of the environmental documents by City so long as any
consultant hired to prepare the environmental documents is under contract to and
directed by City (Pub. Resources Code, § 21082.1(a).) Accordingly, it is understood that
0
any such consultant hired by City to prepare environmental documents, shall be under
contract to and directed by City, and Developer shall not attempt to direct, influence, or
otherwise control the consultant in the performance of the work. Developer shall direct
any questions or concerns Developer may have to City.
Section 4. Developer's Rights Concerning Expenses and Review of
Documents.
(a) Statements of Account. City shall provide Developer a summary of
expenditures made from the Deposit, and the unexpended balance thereof, whenever
requesting any Additional Advance and within ten (10) business days of receipt by City of
a written request therefore submitted by Developer. On a monthly basis, City shall
provide Developer with a cost report, including copies of each statement or invoice
received from any consultant whose costs are chargeable as Eligible Expenses.
(b) Review of Documents. City shall .give Developer at least ten (10) days'
notice of, along with copies of, any proposed contract with the environmental consultant,
change orders, contract amendments, and comments on the environmental documents
received from third parties so that Developer shall have the opportunity to provide
comments prior to City finalizing, filing, or otherwise releasing the environmental
document and responses to comments. Developer may review draft copies of all other
reports and studies funded through this Agreement. Developer may discuss issues with
City or its consultants and may make comments orally. City shall also use reasonable
efforts to permit Developer's review with respect to agendas and staff reports for all open
City Council, Planning Commission and other public body meetings at which the Project
or related matters are to be considered, and by providing Developer with draft copies
thereof priorto or concurrently with the transmission of such documents to the appropriate
body. It is expressly understood that consultants retained by City are under contract
solely with City, and City is free to disregard Developer's comments and exercise its
independent judgment in making payments to the consultants or revising or accepting the
consultant's work product, without any liability whatsoever to Developer therefor.
Section 5. No Obligation to Adopt or Certify Environmental Documents or
to Approve Project Entitlements.
The provisions of this Agreement shall in no way obligate City to adopt or certify
the environmental documents or take any action approving the Project. City shall use its
independent judgment in determining whether to approve the Entitlements and
environmental documents. City may determine during the course of processing the
Project application that final approval will require issuance of other permits in addition to
those listed as the Entitlements in Recital B of this Agreement, due to changes in
applicable state law, the Seal Beach Municipal Code, the proposed Project, or other
applicable regulations or documents. In the event that City adopts the environmental
documents, City shall use its independent judgment in determining the significance of any
impacts, approving any mitigation monitoring and reporting program, adopting a
statement of overriding considerations, or taking any other action. City shall not be liable
5
to Developer in any manner whatsoever therefor, other than for providing the accounting
of expenses as provided in this Agreement.
Section S. Agreement Not Debt or Liability of City.
It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that this Agreement is not a debt or liability
of City. City shall not in any event be liable hereunder other than to return the unexpended
and uncommitted portions of the Deposit as provided in Section 3(d) of this Agreement,
and to provide an accounting under Section 5(a) of this Agreement. City shall not be
obligated to advance any of its own funds with respect to the environmental documents
or for any of the other purposes listed in Section 3(b) of this Agreement. No City official,
officer, employee, or agent shall be personally liable to Developer under this Agreement
to any extent.
Section 7. Indemnification and Hold Harmless.
(a) Non -liability of City Concerning Entitlements: The Parties acknowledge that
there may be challenges to the legality, validity, and adequacy of the Entitlements and/or
this Agreement in the future; and if successful, such challenges could delay or prevent
the development of the Project. City shall have no liability under this Agreement for
Developer's inability to develop the Project as the result of a judicial determination that
the CEQA determination, the City's action on the Entitlements, or any portions thereof,
are invalid, inadequate, or not made in compliance with law.
(b) Participation in Litigation: Indemnity. Developer agrees to indemnify,
protect, defend, and hold harmless City and its officials, officers, employees, agents,
elected boards, commissions, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, from
any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, writs of mandamus, liabilities, losses,
damages, penalties, obligations, expenses, and any other actions or proceedings
(whether legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative, or adjudicatory in nature), and
alternative dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to, arbitrations,
mediations, and other such procedures), including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and
costs (herein the "Claims and Liabilities7), arising from or related to this Agreement or the
Entitlements; and Developer shall be responsible for any monetary judgment arising
therefrom, whether such Claims and Liabilities are brought under CEQA, planning and
zoning laws, the Subdivision Map Act, Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1485 or 1094.5,
or any other federal, state, or local statute, law, ordinance, rule, regulation, or any decision
of a competent jurisdiction. Developer may be required to deposit funds to cover its
indemnification obligation or to provide other security. If Developer fails to timely pay
such funds, City may abandon the action without liability to Developer and may recover
from Developer any attorneys' fees and other costs for which City may be liable for
abandonment of the action. City shall provide Developer with notice of the pendency of
such action and request that Developer pay for the costs to defend such action. It is
expressly agreed that City may utilize the City Attorney's office or use other legal counsel
of its choosing, and Developer shall promptly pay or reimburse City for any reasonable
legal costs and fees incurred by City. if Developer fails to do so, City may defend the
action and Developer shall be liable to City for the cost thereof, but if City chooses not to
T
defend the action, City shall have no liability to Developer. Developer's obligation to pay
the defense costs of City shall extend until final judgment, including any appeals.
Notwithstanding Developer's indemnity for Claims and Liabilities, City may abandon any
litigation following an adverse judgment or settle any litigation brought against it in its sole
and absolute discretion, and Developer shall remain liable, other than in the case where
judgment adverse to City and Developer's position has been rendered, or where a
settlement has been negotiated that is materially adverse to the Project. In the case of a
settlement without an adverse judgment, City may still settle the litigation contrary to
Developer, and shall then be responsible for its own litigation expense, but shall bear no
other liability to Developer. If Developer chooses to reduce the scope of the Project or
abandon the Entitlements in order to settle any such litigation, City shall reasonably
cooperate in effecting a settlement.
(c) Exception. The obligations of Developer under this Section shall not apply
to any claims, actions, or proceedings arising through the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of City, its members, officers, or employees.
(d) Survival of Indemnity Obligations. All indemnity provisions set forth in this
Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
