C ITY OF S AN L EANDRO <br />S AN L EANDRO S HORELINE D EVELOPMENT P ROJECT EIR <br />EXHIBIT A: WORK SCOPE AND COSTS <br /> <br />THE PLANNING CENTER | DC&E 14 <br />MAY 1, 2013 <br /> <br />construction equipment and on-road vehicle exhaust and off-gas (coatings and asphalt) <br />emissions will be compared to BAAQMD’s annual and daily mass emissions thresholds. <br />Mitigation measures will be incorporated into the EIR to reduce potential construction-related <br />air quality impacts for each development phase. <br /> <br />d. Off-Site Construction Health Risk <br />The Planning Center | DC&E will prepare a quantitative evaluation of health risk impacts from <br />construction activities to nearby sensitive receptors. Construction-related toxic air <br />contaminants and particulate matter impacts will be evaluated based on the specific <br />construction-related characteristics of the project (e.g. construction emissions identified in <br />Task 2.c above) and proximity to off-site receptors. Dispersion modeling will be performed <br />using a BAAQMD-accepted computer-based model (e.g. ISCST3 or AERMOD) to determine <br />ground-level concentrations of hazardous air pollutants at the project site. Cancer and <br />toxicity data published by Cal-EPA will be used to estimate long-term and short-term (acute) <br />health risks for off-site sensitive receptors. Mitigation measures to reduce fugitive dust (e.g. <br />BAAQMD’s best management practices), off-gas, and exhaust emissions will be incorporated, <br />as necessary. <br /> <br />e. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis <br />The Planning Center | DC&E will conduct a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Analysis to <br />evaluate potential GHG impacts of the proposed project. The analyses will be prepared in <br />accordance with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s (BAAQMD) CEQA Air Quality <br />Guidelines.2 To ensure streamlined CEQA review for subsequent projects, the approach <br />outlined below is based on BAAQMD’s Guidelines and screening tables for Project-Level <br />analyses. <br /> <br />i. Existing Environmental Setting <br />The environmental setting will describe the effects of climate change within California and the <br />City of San Leandro and will also describe the history of California’s GHG emissions <br />regulation. To establish the baseline environmental setting for GHGs, the EIR will discuss <br />existing GHG regulations in California, including Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32), the Global <br />Warming Solutions Act. The EIR will include a discussion the GHG reduction targets of AB 32 <br />as identified in the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) Scoping Plan and regional per <br /> <br />2 While adoption of the thresholds was set aside until an environmental evaluation is <br />conducted pursuant to a recent court ruling, the BAAQMD’s significance criteria, as outlined in their <br />CEQA Guidelines, are supported by extensive studies and analysis.
