Supplemental Maintenance Facility Site Analysis Activities • Identify sites • Perform supplemental analysis – Traffic impacts, displacements, noise, air quality and capital costs • Re-circulate portions of Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) related to maintenance facilities to satisfy California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) • Conduct Environmental Assessment (EA) to satisfy requirements of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) • Conduct community meetings 5
Supplemental Analysis of Maintenance Facility Sites Schedule Public Input Public Meeting #1 Public Meeting #2 Public Hearing February 24, 2010 Late March 2010 TBD • Identify potential Receive testimony Screen universe of sites on environmental Re-circulate potential sites • Identify/prioritize review of short list EA/ Revised evaluation criteria of sites (4) DEIR Perform supplemental analysis Complete Environmental Assessment (EA)/Revised DEIR 6
Maintenance Facility includes: • Administrative office building • Maintenance building for daily servicing, preventive maintenance, repairs, parts storage • Paint and body shop • Cleaning facilities • 100 – 200 employees on site • Ongoing operations, overlapping shifts 7
Minimum Requirements of the Maintenance Facility • 15 acres or more • Rectangular Shape • Accommodate minimum of 60 cars • Next to Railroad, preferably near alignment – Operating Cost – Accessibility 8
Samples of Potential Sites We’d like your ideas 9
Maintenance Facility Evaluation Criteria • Impacts to Residences • Compatibility with Adjacent Land Uses/Local Plans • Displacements • Proximity to Right-of-Way (Rail Access) • Roadway Access • Minimize Environmental Hazard • Minimize Environmental Impacts (Noise) • Cost • Ease of Land Assembly • Expandability • Impacts to the Roadway System • Impacts to the Railway System • Impacts to other Transportation Facilities What criteria are important to you? 10
