City of Pleasanton–10x Genomics Project Environmental Checklist and <br />Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration Environmental Evaluation <br /> <br /> <br />FirstCarbon Solutions 33 <br />Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480024/ISMND/wp/21480024 10x Genomics Project Full Screencheck ISMND.docx <br />Construction Air Pollutant Emissions: ROG, NOX, PM10, and PM2.5 <br />California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod), Version 2016.3.2, was used to estimate the <br />proposed project’s construction emissions. CalEEMod provides a consistent platform for estimating <br />construction and operational emissions from various land-use projects and is the model <br />recommended by the BAAQMD for estimating project emissions. Estimated construction emissions <br />are compared with the applicable thresholds of significance established by the BAAQMD to assess <br />ROG, NOX, exhaust PM10, and exhaust PM2.5 construction emissions to determine significance for this <br />impact. <br />As presented in Table 3, construction of the proposed project is tentatively expected to start in <br />September 2021 and conclude in March 2023. The construction schedule displayed in Table 3 <br />represents a construction schedule that was updated on March 15, 2021, and differs from that <br />utilized in the emissions modeling in Appendix A. The emissions modeling contained in Appendix A <br />reflects a construction schedule from January 2021 through July 2022, as provided by the project <br />Applicant. 17 While the construction schedule provided in Table 3 represents a later schedule than <br />that utilized in the emissions modeling supporting this analysis, the earlier schedule utilized in the <br />emissions modeling represents a conservative assessment of emissions from project construction. By <br />assuming an earlier operational year, the construction emission estimates contained herein present <br />a conservative assessment as fuel efficiency with construction fleets generally improves over time as <br />new equipment gradually replaces older equipment. As shown in Table 3, in each project phase, <br />architectural coating and paving activities would start concurrently, and architectural coating <br />activities were anticipated to conclude concurrently with building construction activities. <br />Table 3: Project Construction Schedule <br />Phase Phase Start Date Phase End Date <br />Working Days per <br />Week1 <br />Total Number of <br />Working Days <br />Site Preparation 9/16/2021 12/01/2021 5 54 <br />Grading 02/01/2022 04/01/2022 5 44 <br />Building Construction 04/01/2022 03/01/2023 5 239 <br />Paving 06/01/2022 09/14/2023 5 76 <br />Architectural Coating 06/01/2022 03/01/2023 5 195 <br />Notes: <br />1 Working days per week is assumed to be 5 in the model. The construction schedule displayed above reflects later <br />dates than those provided in the emissions modeling (Appendix A); however, the total number of working days for each <br />construction activity and the occurrence of overlapping activities match those provided by the Project Applicant. The <br />construction schedule presented here represents the anticipated construction schedule for the proposed project as <br />updated by City staff on March 15, 2021. <br />Source: Terrasset. 2020, 2021. 10x Genomics, 1701 Springdale Avenue Redevelopment – Request for Information.
