3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST <br />City of San Leandro 1388 Bancroft Avenue Project <br />November 2018 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration <br />3.0-21 <br />There are no intersections in San Leandro with the potential to have traffic volumes of more than 44,000 vehicles per hour, nor does the city have intersections where vertical and/or horizontal mixing is substantially limited and there is the potential to have traffic volumes of <br />more than 24,000 vehicles per hour. As discussed below in subsection 3.16, Transportation/ <br />Traffic, the project would generate fewer daily trips than the existing medical office buildings on the project site. Therefore, the project would not increase area congestion and the project would be consistent with the Alameda County Congestion Management <br />Program. Therefore, the impact from project-generated localized concentrations of <br />mobile-source CO would be less than significant. <br />Impact Conclusion <br />With implementation of mitigation measure MM AQ-2, the project would not expose <br />sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. The impact would be less than <br />significant with mitigation incorporated. <br />e) Less Than Significant Impact. Heavy-duty construction equipment used for the <br />construction of the project would emit odors. However, construction activity would be <br />short term and finite in nature. Equipment exhaust odors would dissipate and would be <br />minimized by the implementation of mitigation measures MM AQ-1 and MM AQ-2, which would reduce diesel exhaust emissions and control fugitive dust. For these reasons, <br />construction of the project would not create objectionable odors affecting a substantial <br />number of people. <br />For operational odor impacts, the project would not include any land uses which are identified as an odor source in the BAAQMD (2017a) CEQA Air Quality Guidelines. <br />Therefore, the project would not create objectionable odors affecting a substantial <br />number of people, and the impact would be less than significant. <br />Mitigation Measures <br />MM AQ-1 During construction activities, the project applicant and/or its contractor shall <br />ensure that the BAAQMD’s Basic Construction Mitigation Measures are <br />implemented. The City shall ensure grading plan notes include these <br />requirements prior to issuance of a grading permit and shall monitor compliance during construction through site inspection(s). <br />• All exposed surfaces (e.g., parking areas, staging areas, soil piles, graded <br />areas, and unpaved access roads) shall be watered two times per day. <br />• All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material off-site shall be covered. <br />• All visible mud or dirt track-out onto adjacent public roads shall be removed <br />using wet power vacuum street sweepers at least once per day. The use of dry power sweeping is prohibited. <br />• All vehicle speeds on unpaved roads shall be limited to 15 miles per hour. <br />• All roadways, driveways, and sidewalks to be paved shall be completed as <br />soon as possible. Building pads shall be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used.
