Areas of Expertise | Environmental Due Diligence

site selection and analysis
UltraSystems helps its transportation clients determine the environmental regulatory risks
inherent in developing specific sites under consideration. During the site selection
process, UltraSystems employs its talented pool of urban and environmental planners, scientists,
archaeologists, biologists, GIS specialists and other technical staff to perform a site reconnaissance
of baseline environmental resources; assess environmental regulatory
risk associated with developing the site or portions of the site;
and outline regulatory permit and timeline requirements. Our
scientists and planners routinely identify and map constraints
over large areas encompassing several counties, or several
states. We then prepare a report that characterizes
potential resources onsite, highlights any areas of concern,
and specifies anticipated regulatory requirements and
associated timelines. The Environmental Due Diligence
report includes recommendations, as needed, for
further resource studies and agency consultation
to help identify and reduce environmental issues and
to comply with federal, State, and local permitting
requirements. The Environmental Due Diligence report
provides our transportation clients with a tool to
facilitate risk management in their site selection process.

• Air Pollution Control District Authority to Construct Permit
• National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
• Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
• Spill Prevention, Containment, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC)
• California Coastal Development Permit

construction monitoring reporting
We work with our clients to ensure construction compliance with federal,
State, and local regulations, including but not limited to, air quality,
biological resources (i.e., sensitive habitats and species), cultural
resources, encroachment permits, grading permits, noise ordinances,
stormwater BMPs, and wetlands (see representative permit list above).
UltraSystems provides construction staff training to comply with
regulations, ensure sensitive resources are protected during construction
activities, and to prepare required monitoring reports for submittal to
agencies, on schedule. We maintain effective communication with the
agency representatives and our client, and meet scheduled monitoring
deadlines, and obtain agency approval.



stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (sWPPP)
UltraSystems develops general construction Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) to assist clients in complying with Section 402
of the Federal Clean Water Act NPDES regulations. Every construction site
that disturbs one acre or more, or is less than one acre but part of a larger
common plan that would disturb one acre or more, must comply with the
State of California’s General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated
with Construction Activities. The SWPPP must outline the Best Management
Practices (BMPs) planned for use on the site to prevent pollutants from
leaving the project site. The submission of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is
required prior to the issuance of an Improvement Plan, Grading Permit or Encroachment Permit.

Areas of Expertise | Technical Studies

aesthetics/visual studies
UltraSystems conducts visual analyses to provide a basis for assessing
potential project impacts in terms of NEPA and CEQA significance criteria.
The assessment includes (1) an inventory of potentially sensitive viewing
areas, including scenic vistas, major view corridors, historic buildings,
and monuments; (2) visual simulations to show views' appearance once
the project is in place; (3) identification of the project’s potential aesthetic
impacts by comparison of existing views with simulations and in association
with land use regulations; and (4) evaluation of mitigation measures or
revised design features, if significant impacts are identified. UltraSystems'
aesthetic/visual studies meet resource agency guidelines and NEPA and CEQA regulations.

air Quality/greenhouse gas
UltraSystems provides a wide range of air quality regulatory and compliance services. Our
staff experience encompasses a variety of source types, ranging from minor source permitting
and compliance issues to major source permitting and refined impact analysis. Our air quality
assessments analyze the potential for air quality impacts resulting from the planned development
and propose mitigation measures to offset potentially significant impacts, as necessary.

Assessments include:

• Potential short-term construction emissions as well as long-term operational related emissions
based on proposed land use and the project traffic study.
• Regional air quality and land use assumptions and evaluation of potential for carbon monoxide
(CO) “hotspots” to nearby existing and future sensitive receptors.

UltraSystems’ air quality services also include analysis of greenhouses gases (GHG) per Assembly
Bill (AB) 32 (Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006), including:




• Preparing baseline and ongoing inventories of direct and
indirect GHG emissions
• Complying with Air Resources Board mandatory reporting
requirements (for stationary combustion sources emitting
over 25,000 metric tons of CO2 per year, or co-generation/
electric power facilities with a total generating capacity of at
least 1 MW that emit 2,500 metric tons of CO2 or more per
year)
• Developing customized software so that you can update your
inventory every year
• Formulating strategies for decreasing your carbon footprint
• Keeping you up-to-date on changing GHG regulations and
programs

Biological Resources
UltraSystems’ biological resource staff provide expertise in vegetation and habitat mapping, habitat
evaluation, wildlife and plant surveys. Our staff is experienced at general habitat surveys and
special species surveys, including federal and state-listed threatened and endangered species, and
those directed by regional multispecies habitat conservation plans (i.e., Western Mojave Habitat
Conservation Plan, Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan [MSHCP], Western
Riverside County MSHCP). UltraSystems’ biological staff have performed habitat and species surveys,
construction monitoring, and permitting throughout California and have dealt with the requirements
of a wide range of federal, State, and local permitting authorities.

Wetland Delineation and Permitting
UltraSystems provides expertise in delineating wetlands in compliance with Section 404 of the
Federal Clean Water Act, regulated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and Section
1602 of the California Fish and Game Code, regulated by the California Department of Fish and

high water mark (OHWM) and the methodology in the USACE 1987 wetland delineation manual.
This methodology requires that a jurisdictional wetland contain hydrophytic vegetation, hydric
soils, and appropriate hydrology. CDFG jurisdiction is determined by the presence of hydrophytic

of these jurisdictions and to calculate impacts associated with project development. From there,
we prepare a jurisdictional delineation report describing baseline conditions and analysis of
potential project impacts to each jurisdictional feature, including methods, results, and graphics
depicting the approximate size and location of any jurisdictional areas. The report is consistent
with the requirements of USACE and CDFG and is the necessary documentation for developing and
processing Section 401 and 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act permits and obtaining a Section
1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement.




habitat mitigation and monitoring Plans
UltraSystems prepares Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Proposals
(HMMPs) for projects requiring habitat restoration to mitigate impacts
to biological resources and wetlands as required to comply with resource
agency authorizations (i.e., USACE, RWQCB, CDFG, USFW. The HMMP
involves a detailed description of baseline biological resources and the
environmental setting, existing functions and values of the affected
areas, mitigation goals and strategies, implementation plan, performance
criteria, maintenance and monitoring specifications and contingency plans.
The HMMP also describes site preparation activities, such as amending and redistributing topsoil,
seeding and planting, and provides recommendations for temporary irrigation systems and fencing,
including detailed construction drawings and specifications. Installation methods, maintenance
procedures, and performance monitoring and reporting requirements are defined in the report, with
the objective of achieving the overall goals and performance standards of the habitat restoration
activity.

cultural resources
UltraSystems cultural resource capabilities include archaeological
and historic site identification and evaluation, mitigation design and
implementation, construction monitoring and compliance, and all aspects
of regulatory compliance support. We assist our clients in regulatory
compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Sections
106 and 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), the
Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA), the Native American
Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and other State environmental assessment laws and
regulations. We also have extensive experience with Native American consultation.

Environmental site assessment
UltraSystems provides Environmental Site Assessments (ESA) services
related to the identification of hazardous materials, including Phase I
Environmental Due Diligence and Phase II Site Characterization Studies.
Some of these assessments are included as part of the CEQA and NEPA
process and many are performed for on-going businesses or property
ownership transfers.




geographic information systems (gis)
UltraSystems utilizes spatial analysis and mapping techniques
to record significant features of the project study area, such as
biological resources, land use coverage, topography, hydrology,
geology, and artifact densities. Our GIS capabilities enable us to
locate, record, and present significant amounts of project data
and perform sophisticated modeling and spatial analysis to
guide decision-making in site development.

land use
UltraSystems’ land use planners routinely assess land use characteristics of the project site and
vicinity, local comprehensive land use designations and zoning, plans and policies, and the project’s
conformance with applicable plans and policies for compliance with resource agency requirements
and NEPA and CEQA guidelines. We provide an assessment of proposed land use changes, land use
compatibility issues, short-term construction impacts, and cumulative impacts associated with long-
term land use trends in the project area.

noise and vibration
During the planning, construction and operations phases, our noise experts quantify and evaluate
the noise and vibration generated by facilities as well as their impact on nearby homes, schools,
hospitals and other sensitive receptors. Throughout the life of a project, we ensure compliance with the
applicable legislation, standards, guidelines and project specifications. Our noise services include:

• Noise contour mapping
• Noise modeling and monitoring
• Noise source compliance testing
• Design of noise abatement measures
• Exposure criteria, standards and regulations
• Compliance during construction
• Noise complaint investigation

socioeconomics/Environmental Justice
UltraSystems performs regional economic impact analyses of project sites using the Economic Impact
Forecast System (EIFS). Our specialists collect socioeconomic data (e.g., population, employment,
housing, tax base, etc.) and perform the required socioeconomic impact analyses using the EIFS impact
models. The analysis examines the effects of the proposed project on the availability of local housing
and local infrastructure (i.e., traffic, school, hospitals, municipal services, etc.), as well as effects on
population, short- and long-term employment, housing demand and availability, and the tax base. In
addition, to comply with Executive Order 12898 for environmental justice, UltraSystems routinely
assesses project impacts on minority or low-income populations in the project area.
