3. Environmental Checklist San Leandro Treatment Wetland IS/MND 3-10 February 2024 The 2022 Air Quality Guidelines also contains screening criteria for operational-related CAPs for numerous land use types. They also contain odor screening distances for various facility types, which include manufacturing and industrial facilities. Table 3-3.

Hospitals, schools, convalescent facilities, and residential areas are examples of sensitive receptors. The Proposed Project would be developed within the existing grounds of the WPCP, which is surrounding by Metropolitan Golf Links immediately to the north, Oyster Bay Regional Shoreline wildlife area to the south, and industrial facilities to the east and southeast. Open space and fueling and parking for the OAK airport are located west of the Proposed Project. The nearest sensitive receptors are residences located approximately 0.8 miles south of the Proposed Project. Impact Discussion The Project's potential impacts on air quality are analyzed below, with all potential impacts mitigated to less- than-significant levels. a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan: The CCAA requires that air districts create a clean air plan that describes how the jurisdiction will meet air quality standards. As noted above, the BAAQMD released the 2017 Clean Air Plan. To fulfill State ozone planning requirements, the 2017 control strategy includes all feasible measures to reduce emissions of O3 precursors—ROG and NOx—and reduce the transport of O3 and its precursors to neighboring air basins. The 2017 Clean Air Plan does not include control measures that apply directly to individual development projects. Instead, the control strategy includes control measures related to stationary sources, transportation, energy, buildings, agriculture, natural and working lands, waste management, water, and super-GHG pollutants. The conversion of an existing 6.9-acre wastewater storage basin into a freshwater treatment wetland that would reduce the loading of wastewater-borne nitrogen, phosphorus, and other contaminants such as pharmaceutical compounds to San Francisco Bay
