CITY OF SAN LEANDRO SAN LEANDRO SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT EIR EXHIBIT A: WORK SCOPE AND COSTS capita transportation targets for the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC)for the Bay Area for passenger vehicles under Senate Bill 375 (SB 375). The EIR will also include a discussion of the City of San Leandro's Climate Action Plan,adopted December 2009. ii. Existing Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory The existing land uses within the project site generate GHG emissions from transportation sources (vehicles and boats), energy (natural gas and indirect emissions from purchased electricity),area sources(landscape emissions,consumer products), indirect emissions from water use and wastewater generation, and indirect emissions from waste disposal. The existing GHG emissions inventory will be developed for the project based on the existing land uses on-site and modeled using the CalEEMod for both existing and future ("No Project Future Conditions") emissions rates. Trip generation data for existing land uses will be incorporated into the model. Model results from CalEEMod will be supplemented using OFFROAD2011 for pleasure-crafts (i.e., boats) based on an estimate of existing boat use at the marina. At present,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). iii. Project Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory The Planning Center I DC&E will prepare a quantitative evaluation of project-related GHG emissions. The evaluation will include potential emissions from transportation sources (vehicles), energy (natural gas and indirect emissions from purchased electricity), area sources (landscape emissions, consumer products), indirect emissions from water use and wastewater generation,and indirect emissions from waste disposal. GHG emissions from the construction inventory developed for criteria air pollutants (see Task 1.c) will also be identified. Cumulative air quality impacts will also be described. We assume that changes in carbon sequestration associated with changes in land cover (vegetation)would compose a de minimus portion of the GHG inventory;and are therefore,not included. The future GHG inventory will be developed for each project phase-based on the proposed land uses on-site and modeled using CalEEMod. Trip generation data for existing land uses will be incorporated into the model. The model will also account for reductions in emissions as a result of federal, state, and regional GHG regulations that have been adopted and/or are identified in the CARB Scoping Plan. Additional reductions from Project Design Features (such as mixed-use features,increase in energy efficiency,etc.)will be modeled,as available. The GHG emissions inventory for the project will be compared to BAAQMD's per capita GHG THE PLANNING CENTER I DC&E 15 MAY 1,2013
