Air Quality/GHG Management
FCS is a leader in preparing air quality and greenhouse gas assessments to support your environmental documents, general plans, sustainability plans and development projects.
Case Study
10x Genomics Development Project
FCS recently prepared an IS/MND and supporting technical analysis for the multi-phased 10x Genomics Development Project, which proposed to redevelop a portion of the Stoneridge Mall site for commercial and office uses, research and development (R&D), light laboratory manufacturing, and a parking structure.

1040 La Brea Avenue Hotel Categorical Exemption
The City of West Hollywood selected FCS to prepare necessary technical studies and the appropriate level of CEQA documentation for the 1040 La Brea Project. FCS completed detailed technical studies, including an Air Quality and GHG Emissions Analysis, Noise Analysis, and Traffic Impact Analysis, and subsequently facilitated the successful completion of a Categorical Exemption pursuant to CEQA.
Warm Springs/South Fremont Community Plan EIR
The Community Plan envisions up to 4,000 dwelling units, 10 million square feet of non-residential uses, 20,000 new jobs, and a 600-student elementary school over a planning horizon of more than 20 years. FCS carefully evaluated ways to avoid or reduce potential impacts through thoughtful planning of this highly constrained site, located between the Union Pacific railroad, BART corridor, and Interstate 880.
San Gorgonio Crossing Project EIR
FCS recently prepared an EIR and associated technical studies to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with construction and operation of the San Gorgonio Crossing Project, which proposes to construct two LEED-certified industrial buildings totaling more than 2.5 million square feet on approximately 229 acres near Cherry Valley, California.
Oakmont of Evergreen Assisted Living Facility Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
FCS provided technical monitoring and survey services to satisfy the requirements of Oakmont of Evergreen Project’s Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). FCS initially provided technical services and secured the CEQA clearance for this project; the client subsequently requested that we provide technical monitoring and survey services during the construction phase of the project.

Carbon Offsets
A carbon offset is a general reference to a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that is used to compensate for or mitigate emissions that occur elsewhere. Offsets can be generated in multiple ways such as: capturing and/or burning the methane (CH4) produced by farms or landfills before it enters the atmosphere, planting trees to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, and improving energy efficiency to reduce energy use and lower corresponding CO2 emissions.
