Environmental Checklist Greenhouse Gas Emissions Initial Study – Mitigated Negative Declaration 45 Table 6 Project Greenhouse Gas Emissions Emission Source Proposed Project (MT CO2e/year) Existing Land Use (MT CO2e/year)* Operational Area <0.1 (<0.1) Energy 588 (24) Solid Waste 99 (9) Water 14 (14) Mobile CO2 and CH4 790 (84) N2O 35 (4) Total 1,526 (135) Net Increase 1,391 BAAQMD Threshold 1,100 Significant Impact? Yes See Appendix B for CalEEMod worksheets, Table 2.2 “Overall Operational - Unmitigated Operational” ( ) denotes subtraction * Estimates for existing onsite uses only take into account the occupied portion of the project site. Therefore, this analysis is conservative. Mitigation Measures Implementation of Mitigation Measure GHG-1 would reduce potential impacts associated with GHG emissions to a less than significant level. GHG-1 GHG Reduction Plan. The project applicant shall reduce operational GHG emissions through implementation of one or both of the following: a. Prior to building permit issuance, develop a project GHG Reduction Plan that reduces annual GHG emissions from the project to below 1,100 MT CO2e per year over the operational life of the project. The plan shall list reduction measures that will be implemented by the project and quantify total operational emissions associated with the project. City staff shall verify the measures are included in site plans and that, with implementation, emissions would be below 1,100 MT CO2e per year. The plan will be implemented onsite by the project applicant and may include, but not be limited to, the following components: 1. Charging stations for alternative fuel vehicles 2. Energy and water efficient equipment, appliances, heating, and cooling 3. Energy efficient lighting 4. Water conservation and recycling 6. Renewable energy production 7. Trip reduction (e.g., employee ridesharing, vanpool/shuttle) 8. Carbon sequestration 9. Recycling and composting of solid waste and/or 342
