Short descriptions of the services we provided on three relevant projects follows. Included in the descriptions are references that we encourage you to contact to attest to our performance on these projects. Experience and Approach Longacres Master Plan EIS City of Renton Longacres Master Plan EIS 10 March 8, 2024 Quendall Terminals Master Plan Redevelopment SEPA EIS | Renton EA was the lead SEPA consultant and principal author of the SEPA EIS and Mitigation Document for redevelopment of the 21.5-acre site on the shores of Lake Washington. Proposed development would include approximately 800 multifamily residential units, 245,000 sq. ft. of office space, and 30,600 sq. ft. of retail and restaurant space. The site received a Superfund designation from U.S. EPA and will undergo cleanup/remediation prior to redevelopment. The impact analyses in the EIS assumed an existing/baseline condition subsequent to cleanup/remediation, which required EA to develop a thorough understanding of the cleanup process. Other key issues analyzed in the EIS included transportation, aesthetics, land use, water resources, and biological resources. EA Team members conducted peer review of the Applicant Team’s technical reports to ensure that they were complete, accurate, and consistent, and summarized them in the EIS. Date: Completed 2017; Client: City of Renton & Century Pacific LLP; Reference: Vanessa Dolbee, City of Lacey Community and Economic Development Director, (360) 486-5642. 47º North Master Plan Development SEPA SEIS | Cle Elum The approximately 800-acre 47º North site is located in the city of Cle Elum. In 2002, a SEPA EIS was prepared and a Master Site Plan approved for the site. Revisions to the approved Master Site Plan are currently proposed, including development of a mix of residential (707 units), recreational (including a 627-unit RV resort), and commercial uses (150,000 sq. ft.). The City determined that the proposal constitutes a major amendment to the approved Master Site Plan and required preparation of a SEPA Supplemental EIS (SEIS). EA managed preparation of the full-scope SEIS on the project, coordinating the efforts of a team of seven technical consultants. EA subsequently prepared a SEIS Addendum to address further revisions to the proposal. The City elected to take comments on the Addendum, and EA is in the process of preparing a Response Document. There is considerable public interest in the project (over 1,000 comments were received on the Addendum); EA is assisting the City with robust public involvement. Date: Ongoing; Client: Sun Communities; Reference: Richard Weinman, SEPA Responsible Official, (206) 295-0783. WA State Convention Center SEPA/NEPA EIS | Seattle EA managed preparation of the full scope SEPA and NEPA EISs analyzing the impacts of an approximately 1.5 million-sq. ft. addition to the Washington State Convention Center, and approximately 1 million square feet of additional co-development on a four-block site in Downtown Seattle. Five alternatives representing a wide range of development scenarios were evaluated in the EIS documents. In addition to complex land use approvals, the project required vacation of five public rights-of-way and a long-term Washington State Department of Transportation/Federal Highway Administration airspace lease for extension over a portion of Interstate 5. As SEPA/NEPA consultant, EA authored the comprehensive Draft and Final EISs for the proposed development to comply with SEPA and NEPA, coordinated the Section 106 review process, managed the right-of-way vacation process with the City, assisted with the land use approval process, and coordinated public outreach associated with the EISs.

EA proposes that certain elements of the environment to be analyzed in the Longacres Master Plan EIS will utilize the technical information and analysis to be prepared by the Applicant Team, subject to thorough peer review by the EA Team. The EA Team will provide new technical analysis for those elements of the environment that will not be supported by Applicant-prepared technical analysis and information. The table below summarizes our proposed strategy for the EIS technical analyses. As indicated in the RFQ/P, it is anticipated that the EIS will analyze two action alternatives and the No Action Alternative. ELEMENT WITH EA TEAM PEER REVIEW ELEMENT WITH EA TEAM NEW ANALYSIS Earth – Peer Review by EA Team Member AESI Air Quality – New Analysis by EA Water – Peer Review by EA Env. Health (Noise) – New Analysis by Coffman Eng. Critical Areas – Peer review by EA Team Member Raedeke Historic – New Analysis by Fieldwork Studio Transportation – Peer Review by EA Team Member Transpo Cultural – New Analysis by CRC Specific features of EA’s approach to manage preparation of the EIS follow. PEER REVIEW An integral task for the Longacres Master Plan EIS will be to coordinate with the City of Renton regarding the technical information and analysis that will be used in the EIS (i.e., Geotech Report by GeoEngineers, Drainage Report by CPL, Critical Areas/Wetland Report by PACE, Arborist Report by Salish Forestry, and Transportation Report by TENW). The EA Team proposes to use the technical information and analysis prepared by the Applicant’s team to form the basis of the Earth, Water, Critical Areas and Transportation Sections of the Longacres Master Plan EIS. Our proposal assumes that the technical reports will be generally complete and adequate for purposes of SEPA review and that there will be no further explorations/investigations or technical analysis required by the EA Team for the peer reviewed elements. The EA Team will confirm this through a thorough peer review of the Applicant Team’s technical studies at the onset of the project and, as appropriate, through a visual reconnaissance of the site and vicinity. EA is experienced in managing technical peer review, including on large, complex projects, and has developed protocols for overseeing and reporting this review for SEPA EISs. For example, EA has developed a Peer Review Comment and Response Form that provides for a comprehensive and consistent tracking of the peer review comments by the EA Team and corresponding report updates Experience and Approach Longacres Master Plan EIS City of Renton Longacres Master Plan EIS 13 March 8, 2024 by the Applicant Team. The Peer Review Comment and Response Form allows for the efficient compiling of specific peer review comments and tracking of the status of corresponding Applicant Team report updates (an example of our Peer Review Comment and Response Form is included as Appendix A to this Proposal). Our team members are skilled in performing peer review. Should the peer review determine that additional technical analysis is required to ensure that the analysis is suitable to support the EIS, the EA Team will provide detailed comments to direct the additional work required by the Applicant’s team. However, if directed by the City, the EA Team is fully capable of conducting the additional analysis in an expeditious and cost-effective manner. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS For the elements of the environment where the Applicant Team is not anticipated to be preparing supporting technical reports (Air Quality, Noise, Historic Resources, and Cultural Resources) technical reports will be necessary. Accordingly, EA has assembled an excellent team specifically tailored to analyze Air Quality, Noise, Historic Resources, and Cultural Resources. The EA Team members have extensive experience preparing SEPA environmental review, have worked on projects in the City of Renton and vicinity, and have successfully completed SEPA compliance documentation on projects similar to the Longacres Master Plan Project. PHASED APPROACH We propose to provide environmental services for the Longacres Master Plan EIS using a phased approach. This will allow us to pinpoint the scopes of work more effectively, prior to initiating each phase. The primary EIS phases will be: Phase 1 – Project Initiation and EIS Scoping; Phase 2 – Draft EIS; and Phase 3 – Final EIS. More detailed descriptions of the phases follow. Phase 1 | Project Initiation and EIS Scoping EA will implement several First Steps during Phase 1 - Project Initiation and EIS Scoping to facilitate an organized start to the EIS and ultimate completion in an efficient manner. Although specific tasks under the initial phase will be discussed and confirmed by the City of Renton, the types of tasks described below will be critical to effectively initiating the EIS. •Coordinate with the City of Renton to confirm the City’s goals. •Prepare a draft Protocol Document outlining the process for coordination/communication between the project Applicant, the EA Team, and the City during preparation of the EIS. Revise the Protocol Document based on any comments from City. •Coordinate with the City regarding support materials for EIS Scoping (including for a potential meeting), including slides/boards, information on the SEPA process/EIS Elements/EIS Alternatives/schedule/opportunities to comment, handouts, and Scoping comment forms. •Attend and participate in an EIS Scoping meeting, if held. Experience and Approach Longacres Master Plan EIS City of Renton Longacres Master Plan EIS 14 March 8, 2024 • Coordinate with the City of Renton during the EIS Scoping comment period, and prepare a Scoping Document summarizing comments received, and discussing the elements of the environment and alternatives to be analyzed in the Draft EIS. • Participate in a project Kick-off Meeting with the City, the Applicant, and the EA Team key personnel and technical leads to meet (virtually or in-person) and gain a full understanding of the proposal and the City’s expectations as SEPA lead agency. • As available, complete an initial round of peer review of the existing Applicant technical analyses for the project (including: Geotech Report by GeoEngineers, Drainage Report by CPL, Critical Areas/Wetland Report by PACE, Arborist Report by Salish Forestry, and Transportation Report by TENW ). If draft technical reports are not completed at this point in the process, coordinate with the City and Applicant technical team to review technical report outlines documenting methodologies to be utilized and topics of analysis. The Peer Review Comment and Response Form will be provided and discussed. • After completion of EIS scoping and an initial round of coordination with the Applicant Team, prepare a “Scope of Work/Methods and Assumptions Memo” describing the methods to be used and any additional investigations and technical analysis required for the elements of the environment to be studied in the EIS. Arrive at a consensus with the City on the methods/assumptions. We propose to meet with the City and Applicant Team to discuss the Scope/Methods Report. • Create an “Information Needs Memo” (This Memo will be the framework moving forward with the EIS analyses and has been a proven and valuable tool to achieve an efficient start to the SEPA process. It ensures a consistent understanding of data needs, responsible parties, and due dates). • Establish a Detailed EIS Schedule with team milestones, and circulate to the EA Team, City, and Applicant. • Prepare Draft EIS Chapter 2 (Description of the Proposed Action and Alternatives) for distribution to the City and Applicant for review/concurrence. Upon completion, Chapter 2 will be distributed to the EA Team and Applicant Team to provide a consistent understanding of the proposal for SEPA analysis. • Prepare an EIS Work Plan that includes: the Protocol Document, description of the project and alternatives, Detailed EIS Schedule, Detailed Scope of Work/Methods and Assumptions Report, and Information Needs Memo. In a sense, the Work Plan will consolidate the results of the initial phase in a single document. The Final Work Plan will be circulated to the City, EA Team, and Applicant Team. Phase 1 Deliverables • Protocol Document • Support Materials for EIS Scoping • Scoping Document.

Tasks that EA will accomplish during this phase include: •Serve as the principal author of the Draft EIS. This will include preparing the Fact Sheet, Chapter 1 (Summary Chapter), Chapter 2 (Description of the Proposed Action and Alternatives), Chapter 3 (Affected Environment, Environmental Impacts, Mitigation Measures, and Significant Unavoidable Adverse Impacts). The Draft EIS will consist of the analysis by the EA Team (Air Quality, Noise, Historic Resources, and Cultural Resources), and incorporation of peer review analyses prepared by the Applicant Team (Earth, Water, Critical Areas, and Transportation). •Conduct two rounds of peer review of the Applicant Team’s technical reports. The Peer Review Comment and Response Form will be utilized to document and track comments until the reports are ready to be included in the Draft EIS. •Prepare the 1st Preliminary Draft EIS for review by the City of Renton (and possibly also by the Applicant). •Based on comments received, prepare the 2nd Preliminary Draft EIS for final review by the City. •Based on comments received, coordinate production of the For-issuance Draft EIS. •Help prepare for and assist the City in conducting the Draft EIS public meeting, if held, (either in-person or virtually) during the Draft EIS public comment period to obtain verbal comments and additional written comments (e.g., EA can produce meeting handouts and boards, help set up the meeting, and make a presentation at the meeting). •Regularly meet and coordinate with the City, and as allowed the Applicant (via email, phone, and virtual meetings). EA will directly prepare or oversee preparation of the SEPA analyses required for the Draft EIS, in accordance with the Detailed Scope of Work/Methods and Assumptions approved by the City in Phase 1 of the EIS. The EA Team will ensure that the technical analyses that support the EIS are conducted in accordance with applicable regulations, industry standards, and best management practices. EIS sections will be prepared by the EA Team that will describe existing conditions, analyze the EIS alternatives, and identify mitigation measures. Certain technical analyses will be prepared directly by the EA Team (Air Quality, Noise, Historic Resources, and Cultural Resources), others by Experience and Approach Longacres Master Plan EIS City of Renton Longacres Master Plan EIS 16 March 8, 2024 the Applicant Team (Earth, Water, Critical Areas, and Transportation) with peer review by the EA Team. The technical reports will be included in the Appendices to the Draft EIS and summarized in the Draft EIS text. Based on the City of Renton RFQ/P and project information provided by the City, EA has identified the following key approaches for the areas to be studied in the EIS. Earth – AESI Technical Analysis prepared by Applicant Team; Peer Review provided by EA Team member AESI For the Earth element of the EIS, AESI will perform peer review services of the Applicant-prepared information, including the Geotechnical Report to be prepared by GeoEngineers. AESI will: 1) attend a kickoff meeting with the City and team members; 2) coordinate and attend meetings with team members, the Applicant, and City of Renton staff, as needed; 3) obtain and review available, relevant information, including the Applicants geotechnical report, historic mapping/imagery of the site and surrounding areas, recent geologic mapping, geological hazards maps, and development plans; 4) perform a site reconnaissance to field-verify data presented in the Applicant’s geotechnical report and other site features relevant to the study; 5) review and assess the subsurface characterization, engineering analysis and recommendations for the EIS Alternatives provided in the Applicant’s geotechnical report, identify and data gaps, and provide comments utilizing the Peer Review and Response Form (two rounds assumed); and 6) summarize findings in the Draft EIS section. Water Resources – EA Technical Analysis prepared by Applicant Team; Peer Review provided by EA For the Water Resources element of the EIS, EA will perform peer review services of the Applicant- prepared information, including peer review of the Drainage Report to be prepared by Coughlin Porter Lundeen (CPL). For this peer review effort, EA will follow a similar process to that described for Earth, including: 1) obtain and review available, relevant information, including the Drainage Report to be prepared by CPL, critical areas maps, and development plans; 2) review and assess available data and identify data gaps; 3) perform a site reconnaissance to field verify data presented in the CPL report, and other site features relevant to the study, as necessary; 4) complete an assessment of water resources/stormwater drainage, and assess impacts associated with development, and identify any needed mitigation, and provide comments utilizing the Peer Review Comment and Response Form (two rounds assumed); and 5) summarize findings in the Draft EIS section. Air Quality – EA New Technical Analysis prepared by EA For the Air Quality element of the EIS, EA will provide an air quality impacts analysis for each of the three EIS Alternatives. Renton is located in King County, which is in attainment for the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for all criteria pollutants and is therefore not subject to the requirements of General Conformity (40 CFR Part 93). Direct air emissions from the alternatives under consideration will arise largely from demolition and construction activities. After completion of construction, indirect air emissions will arise largely from vehicle traffic to and from the site and on-site fuel burning equipment used for building heat (if any). EA will model and create an annualized inventory of direct and indirect emissions for all project years using ACAM (Air Conformity Assessment Model) or a similar application. Although General Conformity does not apply to the project, its de minimis emission threshold will be used as benchmarks for assessing the Experience and Approach Longacres Master Plan EIS City of Renton Longacres Master Plan EIS 17 March 8, 2024 significance of air quality impacts. EA will also evaluate climate changes based on GHG emissions calculations. The findings of the Air Quality analysis will be summarized in the Draft EIS section. Noise – Coffman Engineering New Technical Analysis prepared by Coffman Engineering Coffman Engineering will prepare preliminary draft, draft, and final reports describing the Noise impact analysis. The analysis will: 1) characterize the affected environment including noise-sensitive properties, applicable noise limits, and baseline conditions; 2) calculate sound levels from proposed operations, associated traffic, and construction activities to identify environmental noise impacts; 3) recommend noise mitigation measures for operations and construction; and, 4) identify significant unavoidable adverse noise impacts. The findings of the Noise analysis will be summarized in the Draft EIS section. Critical Areas – Raedeke Associates Technical Analysis prepared by Applicant Team; Peer Review provided by Raedeke Associates For the Critical Areas element of the EIS, Raedeke Associates will perform peer review services of the Applicant-prepared information, including the Critical Areas/Wetland Assessment to be prepared by PACE and the Arborist Report to be prepared by Salish Forestry.

The EA STR selected for this project, Rich Schipanski, has extensive experience on SEPA review for urban office and mixed-use projects, and specific experience in City of Renton. Senior management at EA will ensure QC by meeting regularly with the SEPA Project Manager, Michele Sarlitto, to assess progress and discuss emerging issues. EA also conducts periodic audits of Experience and Approach Longacres Master Plan EIS City of Renton Longacres Master Plan EIS 20 March 8, 2024 projects at phases to ensure compliance with all QC program requirements. By implementing these QC procedures, trends will be identified before they become issues and course corrections will be implemented early on. In parallel with our internal QC processes, Michele will be in regular communication with the City of Renton to review progress, gauge satisfaction, and troubleshoot any communications and quality issues. All tasks and deliverables related to the Longacres Master Plan EIS will be performed under Michele’s close management, in coordination with the City, and in accordance with the agreed schedule. COMMUNICATION The foundation for effective communication by the EA Team will be to communicate proactively and regularly to identify and resolve potential problems before they become major issues. The beginning of the EIS process, including the Kickoff Meeting during Phase I - Project Initiation and EIS Scoping, will be an important early communication opportunity and will help to ensure clear understanding of the project by all EA Team members. Assignment of roles, responsibilities, and lines of communication will be established. EA Project Manager, Michele Sarlitto, will communicate regularly with the City, the team, and as allowed, the Applicant throughout the EIS process via meetings/conference calls, email, and phone. Effective written communication will be important for the EIS too. EA is proud of how effectively we communicate the results of complex technical information/analysis in easily understandable language. SCHEDULE CONTROL Quick and responsive products are often required to meet project and planning schedules; EA has a proven track record in meeting these requirements. To attest to our record of meeting tight time frames, we completed the Fort Lawton Redevelopment Project EIS in approximately nine months to meet City of Seattle schedule requirements. EA Project Manager, Michele Sarlitto, will be responsible for working with the City to develop and adhere to the project schedule. At the onset of the EIS effort, Michele will develop staffing plans and projections of staffing needs. The Kickoff Meeting at the initiation of the EIS process will be a key opportunity for her to ensure that all EA Team members understand the required schedule. She will keep the City and Applicant up to date on project progress through regular conference calls/meetings and monthly progress reports. Following is a list of the key deliverables that the EA Team assumes that we will prepare in each phase of the EIS. Phase 1 – Project Initiation Phase 2 – Draft EIS Phase 3 – Final EIS • Communication Protocol Memo • Preliminary DEIS (2 Versions) • Response Strategy Memo • Detailed Schedule • For-Issuance DEIS • Preliminary FEIS (2 Versions) • Information Needs Memo • For-Issuance FEIS • Detailed Scope/Methods Report • Scoping Document • Draft Ch. 2 – Project Description The general schedule below shows that we estimate that the EA Team could complete the Longacres Master Plan EIS in less than one year (8-11 months). This could be accomplished by: proper up-front planning, beginning work on the Draft EIS during Phase 1 (e.g., initiating the Project Experience and Approach Longacres Master Plan EIS City of Renton Longacres Master Plan EIS 21 March 8, 2024 Description), and gaining buy-in on Preliminary Draft EIS and Final EIS review cycles from the City (and possibly the Applicant). The actual EIS schedule will depend on the amount and nature of any additional technical analysis that is required (based on EIS Scoping and detailed peer review), the number/duration/substance of review cycles of the preliminary Draft and Final EISs, and whether the DEIS public comment period is extended beyond the required 30 days.

Ioana was also a member of Acoustical Consultants’ Working Group assisting City of Seattle DPD (now DCI) in revisions to the Seattle Noise Ordinance. Sound Transit Noise & Vibration Compliance Review; Seattle, WA—Ioana reviewed the first draft report of Noise and Vibration Compliance testing submitted by Sound Transit to the City of Tukwila. A report was submitted to the City confirming whether the measurement and data-processing methodology used by Sound Transit conformed to the Monitoring and Compliance Testing Plan approved by the city. The report also commented on proposed sound mitigation measures for locations where measured sound levels did not comply with the criteria, and listed considerations to be included in Sound Transit’s follow-up monitoring. Boeing Renton Comprehensive Plan EIS Sound Analysis ; Renton, WA—Completed the noise analysis in support of the DEIS for the proposed Boeing Renton Comprehensive Plan. The site area included approximately 275 acres of Boeing property and approximately 15 acres of contiguous, privately -owned property. The site area was located adjacent to the south shore of Lake Washington, generally between the Renton Municipal Airport and Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park. For purposes of environmental review, four redevelopment scenarios were developed that encompassed a full range of land uses that the site could potentially accommodate in the future, intended to represent an overall envelope of potential redevelopment for analysis in the EIS. Ioana evaluated potential noise impacts associated with redevelopment under the four EIS alternatives. The alternatives were evaluated against a baseline condition based on existing measured sound levels. Seattle Center Redevelopment EIS Sound Analysis; Snohomish County, WA— Ioana performed the sound analysis for the Seattle Center Redevelopment EIS, including short-term and long-term sound level measurements of center events to characterize sound levels at eight off -site analysis locations under existing conditions and environmental sound modeling of the proposed alternatives. Sound levels from vehicle traffic were calculated from the transportation analysis using the FHWA traffic noise model. The analysis concluded that noise mitigation would be required under all alternatives, including mitigation of sound amplification systems as well as architectural design of outdoor performance venues to mitigate noise impacts to off-site locations.

Margaret has completed over 350 CRM overviews, surveys, and testing projects for private, and public local, state, and federal agencies. Margaret has provided CRM consulting services for numerous municipalities, environmental and engineering firms, and agencies throughout western Washington including in Renton. Margaret has successfully completed numerous assessments for EIS projects in Washington State. She regularly works with public agencies and private firms, local Tribal communities, and DAHP to execute projects on time, within scope and budget, and in adherence to professional standards. Rainier Avenue South Transit Improvement Project; City of Renton; Renton, WA—Margaret conducted a preliminary cultural resources assessment to support compliance with Section 106 of the NHPA for City of Renton road improvements that were receiving funding from the Federal Highway Administration. Through background research, Margaret found that the project’s paleoenvironmental context and proximity to recorded archaeological sites suggested that potentially significant archaeological resources could be encountered by the project. Margaret presented project specific recommendations, including subsurface testing prior to construction, to ensure that archaeological deposits would not be impacted by project activities. Renton Housing Authority 2016 Capital Facility Program; Renton Housing Authority; Renton, WA—Margaret conducted background research to identify any recorded archaeological or historic sites within the project and to assess potential effects to historic properties under Section 106 of the NHPA for this U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development-funded project. The project was considered to have a very low potential to affect archaeological sites. One property over 45 years in age was identified and documented on a historic property inventory form. The property was not recommended not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, and DAHP concurred with this recommendation. No further cultural resources work was recommended or required. Talaris Draft EIS; 4000 Property, LLC; Seattle, WA—Under Margaret’s direction, CRC completed a cultural resources assessment for the Draft EIS of proposed redevelopment of the Talaris property in the Laurelhurst neighborhood of Seattle. The project sought to retain and reuse Seattle Landmarks on the property as feasible, and construct a new subdivision. CRC conducted analysis of existing information pertaining to recorded cultural resources and the potential for as-yet unrecorded cultural resources in the s tudy area, such as archaeological site and survey records, geological maps, ethnographic reports, and historical maps. CRC also conducted an archaeological survey of the property including subsurface investigations. Measures were recommended to avoid, minimize, and mitigate significant impacts to cultural resources from the proposed alternatives.
