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