16 would potentially remain significant and thus are subject to further environmental review in a full CEQA review. Incorrect Application of Water‐Related Operational Mitigation Measures Review of the CalEEMod output files demonstrates that the “Callan and E 14th Street Infill Checklist Project Operations” model includes the following water‐related operational mitigation measures (see excerpt below) (Appendix A, pp. 179‐180): As previously mentioned, the CalEEMod User’s Guide requires any changes to model defaults be justified.28 However, the “User Entered Comments and Non‐Default Data” table fails to provide a justification for inclusion of water‐related operational mitigation measures. Furthermore, the use of low‐flow appliances and a water efficient irrigation system are not included as formal mitigation measures in the Checklist. As such, we cannot guarantee that they would be implemented, monitored, and enforced on the Project site. As a result, the inclusion of the above‐mentioned water‐related operational mitigation measures in the model is incorrect. By including several unsubstantiated water‐ related operational mitigation measures, the model may underestimate the Project’s water‐source operational emissions and may constitute a significant impact that remains substantially unmitigated. Diesel Particulate Matter Health Risk Emissions Inadequately Evaluated The Checklist concludes that the proposed Project would result in a less‐than‐significant health risk impact based on a quantified construction health risk analysis (“HRA”). Specifically, the Checklist estimates that Project construction would result in a mitigated excess cancer risk of 4.9 in one million, which would not exceed the BAAQMD threshold of 10 in one million (see excerpt below) (p. 4‐19, Table 4‐4). 28 CalEEMod User Guide, available at: http://www.caleemod.com/, p. 2, 9 131
