3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST LOCAL City of San Leandro 2035 General Plan The Environmental Hazards Element of the San Leandro (2016a) General Plan contains an overview of air quality in the city and Goal EH-3: Promote and participate in efforts to improve the region's air quality. To support the goal, the element contains the following air quality -related policies and actions potentially relevant to the project: Policy EH-3.1 Clean Air Plan Implementation. Cooperate with the appropriate regional, state, and federal agencies to implement the regional Clean Air Plan and enforce air quality standards. Policy EH-3.4 Design, Construction, and Operation. Require new development to be designed and constructed in a way that reduces the potential for future air quality problems, such as odors and the emission of any and all air pollutants. This should be done by: (a) Requiring construction and grading practices that minimize airborne dust and particulate matter; (b) Ensuring that best available control technology is used for operations that could generate air pollutants; (c) Encouraging energy conservation and low -polluting energy sources; (d) Promoting landscaping and tree planting to absorb carbon monoxide and other pollutants; and (e) Implementing the complementary strategies to reduce greenhouse gases identified in the Climate Action Plan. Action EH-3.4.13 Health Risk Assessments. Implement Bay Area Air Quality Management District Guidelines and State Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment policies and procedures requiring health risk assessments for residential development and other sensitive land use projects within 1,000 feet of major sources of toxic air contaminants, including freeways and roadways with over 10,000 vehicles per day. As appropriate, identify mitigation measures (such as air filtration systems) to reduce the potential exposure to particulate matter, carbon monoxide, diesel fumes, and other potential health hazards. Measures identified in the HRA shall be included in the environmental document and/or incorporated into the site development plan as a component of the proposed project. CHECKLIST DISCUSSION a) Less Than Significant Impact. The applicable air quality plan is the BAAQMD Bay Area 2017 Clean Air Plan. Criteria for determining consistency with the Clean Air Plan are: • The project supports the primary goals of the Clean Air Plan.
