< a CITY OF SAN LEANDRO SAN LEANDRO SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT EIR EXHIBIT A: WORK SCOPE AND COSTS approach outlined below is based on BAAQMD's Guidelines and screening tables for Project- Level analyses. a. Regional Operational Emissions. The regional criteria air pollutant analysis will evaluate the change in air quality associated with the proposed project. ♦ Existing Environmental Setting: To establish existing air quality conditions in the project area,the EIR will discuss the regional meteorology with emphasis on local wind patterns that affect air pollutant transport and dispersion. Existing air quality conditions will be described based on the most current five years of air quality data within the San Francisco Air Basin from a monitoring station operated by BAAQMD. The section will include a discussion of the applicable air quality regulations, including Ambient Air Quality Standards(AAQS),and BAAQMD's 2010 Bay Area Clean Air Plan. ♦ Existing Criteria Air Pollutant Emissions Inventory: The existing land uses within the project site generate criteria air pollutant emissions from transportation sources (vehicles and boats), energy (natural gas), and area sources (landscape emissions, consumer products). The existing criteria air pollutant emissions inventory will be developed for the project based on the existing land uses on-site and modeled using the California Emissions Estimator Model(CaIEEMod)for both existing and future("No Project Future Conditions") emissions rates. Trip generation data will be incorporated into the model. Model results from CaIEEMod will be supplemented using OFFROAD2011 for pleasure-crafts(i.e.,boats)based on an estimate of existing boat use at the marina. The 465-berth boat harbor is approximately 40 percent occupied. We will work with the City to obtain an estimate of existing harbor usage (e.g. based on diesel/gas sales at the harbor and/or estimate of average annual daily/weekly use of the marina). • Project Criteria Air Pollutant Emissions Inventory: The Planning Center I DC&E will prepare a quantitative evaluation of project -related criteria air pollutant emissions is warranted. The Shoreline Development Project would generate an increase in criteria air pollutant emissions from transportation sources(vehicles),energy(natural gas),and area sources(landscape emissions,consumer products). The future criteria air pollutant emissions inventory will be developed for each project phase based on the proposed land uses on-site and modeled using CaIEEMod. Trip generation provided by KAI for existing land uses will be incorporated into the model. The net increase in criteria air THE PLANNING CENTER I DC&E 12 MAY 1,2013
