SAN LEANDRO SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT DRAFT EIR <br />CITY OF SAN LEANDRO <br />AIR QUALITY <br />■ Cover all trucks hauling soil, sand, and other loose materials or require all trucks to maintain at <br />least 2 feet of freeboard (i.e., the minimum required space between the top of the load and the <br />top of the trailer). <br />■ Sweep daily (with water sweepers using reclaimed water if possible) or as often as needed all <br />paved access roads (e.g., Monarch Bay Drive and Fairway Drive), parking areas and staging areas <br />at the construction site to control dust. <br />■ Sweep public streets daily (with water sweepers using reclaimed water if possible) in the vicinity <br />of the Project site, or as often as needed, to keep streets free of visible soil material. <br />■ Hydro -seed or apply non-toxic soil stabilizers to inactive construction areas. <br />■ Enclose, cover, water twice daily, or apply non-toxic soil binders to exposed stockpiles (dirt, sand, <br />etc.) <br />■ Limit vehicle traffic speeds on unpaved roads to 15 mph. <br />■ Replant vegetation in disturbed areas as quickly as possible. <br />■ Install sandbags or other erosion control measures to prevent silt runoff from public roadways. <br />The City of San Leandro Building Official or their designee shall verify compliance that these measures <br />have been implemented during normal construction site inspections. <br />Significance After Mitigation: Less than significant. Mitigation Measure AIR -2 would require adherence <br />to the current BAAQMD's basic control measures for reducing construction emissions of PM and <br />would ensure impacts from fugitive dust generated during construction activities are less than <br />significant. <br />AIR -3 During operation, the Project would not violate any air quality standard <br />or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality <br />violation. <br />Long-term air pollutant emissions generated by a mixed-use development are typically associated with <br />the burning of fossil fuels in cars (mobile sources); energy use for cooling, heating, and cooking (energy); <br />and landscape equipment (area sources). The primary source of long-term criteria air pollutant emissions <br />generated by the Project would be emissions produced from Project -generated vehicle trips. The Project <br />would generate a total of 9,046 average daily trips during a weekday and 8,171 average daily trips on the <br />weekend, which is a net increase of 6,525 additional average daily trips during a weekday and 5,764 <br />additional average daily trips on the weekend compared to existing conditions. Table 4.2-7 identifies the <br />net increase in criteria air pollutant emissions associated with the Project. <br />As shown in Table 4.2-7, the net increase in operational emissions generated by the Project would not <br />exceed the BAAQMD daily or annual thresholds. Consequently, the Project would not cumulatively <br />contribute to the nonattainment designations of the Air Basin, and regional operational phase air quality <br />impacts would be less than significant. <br />4.2-26 DECEMBER 2014 <br />
