the City of Pleasanton a technical assessment evaluating potential project construction-related air <br /> quality impacts. The evaluation shall be prepared in conformance with the BAAQMD methodology <br /> in assessing air quality impacts. If construction-related criteria air pollutants are determined to have <br /> the potential to exceed the BAAQMD thresholds of significance,as identified in the BAAQMD CEQA <br /> Guidelines, the City of Pleasanton shall require that applicants for new development projects <br /> incorporate mitigation measures to reduce air pollutant emissions during construction activities to <br /> below these thresholds. <br /> • AQ-2: Prior to issuance of construction permits, development project applicants that are subject to <br /> CEQA and exceed the screening sizes in BAAQMD's CEQA project applicants that are subject to <br /> CEQA and exceed the screening sizes in BAAQMD's CEQA Guidelines shall prepare and submit to <br /> the City of Pleasanton a technical assessment evaluating potential air quality impacts related to the <br /> project's operation phase. The evaluation shall be prepared in conformance with the BAAQMD <br /> methodology in assessing air quality impacts. If operation-related criteria air pollutants are <br /> determined to have the potential to exceed the BAAQMD thresholds of significance, as identified in <br /> BAAQMD's CEQA Guidelines, the City of Pleasanton Community Development Department shall <br /> require that applicants for new development projects incorporate mitigation measures to reduce air <br /> pollutant emissions during operational activities. <br /> • AQ-3:Applicants for future non-residential land uses within the city that: 1) have the potential to <br /> generate 100 or more diesel truck trips per day or have 40 or more trucks with operating diesel- <br /> powered TRUs,and 2)are within 1,000 feet of a sensitive land use(e.g.,residential,schools,hospitals, <br /> nursing homes), as measured from the property line of a proposed Project to the property line of the <br /> nearest sensitive use, shall submit a health risk assessment(HRA) to the City of Pleasanton prior to <br /> future discretionary project approval. The HRA shall be prepared in accordance with policies and <br /> procedures of the State Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment and the Bay Area Air <br /> Quality Management District. If the HRA shows that the incremental cancer risk exceeds 10 in one <br /> million(10E-06),PM2.5 concentrations exceed 0.3µg/m3,or the appropriate noncancer hazard index <br /> exceeds 1.0, the applicant will be required to identify and demonstrate that mitigation measures are <br /> capable of reducing potential cancer and noncancer risks to an acceptable level,including appropriate <br /> enforcement mechanisms. <br /> • AQ-4:Applicants for residential and other sensitive land use projects(e.g., hospitals, nursing homes, <br /> day care centers)in Pleasanton within 1,000 feet of a major sources of toxic air contaminants(TACs) <br /> (e.g., warehouses, industrial areas, and roadways with traffic volumes over 10,000 vehicle per day), <br /> as measured from the property line of the project to the property line of the source/edge of the nearest <br /> travel lane, shall submit a health risk assessment (HRA) to the City of Pleasanton prior to future <br /> discretionary project approval. The HRA shall be prepared in accordance with policies and procedures <br /> of the State Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) and the Bay Area Air <br /> Quality Management District. The latest OEHHA guidelines shall be used for the analysis, including <br /> age sensitivity factors, breathing rates, and body weights appropriate for children ages 0 to 16 years. <br /> If the HRA shows that the incremental cancer risk exceeds ten in one million (10E06), PM2.5 <br /> concentrations exceed 0.3 µg/m3, or the appropriate noncancer hazard index exceeds 1.0, the <br /> applicant will be required to identify and demonstrate that mitigation measures are capable of <br /> reducing potential cancer and non-cancer risks to an acceptable level(i.e.,below ten in one million or <br /> a hazard index of 1.0), including appropriate enforcement mechanisms.Measures to reduce risk may <br /> include but are not limited to: <br /> - Air intakes located away from high volume roadways and/or truck loading zones. <br /> - Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems of the buildings provided with appropriately <br /> sized maximum efficiency rating value(MERV)filters. <br /> 13 <br />
