Calculations use unrounded totals. <br />2 Calculated by dividing the total lbs. of emissions by the total number of working days of construction (381). <br />Source: CalEEMod Output (see Appendix A). <br /> <br />As shown in Table 4, the average daily construction emissions from all construction activities are <br />below the BAAQMD thresholds of significance; therefore, project construction would have a less <br />than significant impact regarding emissions of ROG, NOX, exhaust PM10, and exhaust PM2.5. As <br />previously discussed, the proposed project must implement MM AIR-1 for BMPs recommended by <br />the BAAQMD to reduce potential impacts related to fugitive dust emissions from construction <br />equipment. Therefore, project construction would have a less than significant impact with <br />incorporation of MM AIR-1. <br />Operational Emissions <br />Operational Air Pollutant Emissions: ROG, NOX, PM10, and PM2.5 <br />Operational emissions would include area, energy, and mobile sources. Area sources would include <br />emissions from architectural coatings, consumer products, and landscape equipment. Energy <br />sources include emissions from the combustion of natural gas for water heaters and other heat <br />sources. Mobile sources include exhaust and road dust emissions from the automobiles that would <br />travel to and from the project site. Stationary sources include emissions from stationary source <br />equipment, such as back-up generators, that would require a permit issued by the BAAQMD. As the <br />proposed project includes a back-up diesel generator, stationary source emissions are included in the <br />annual emissions summary displayed in Table 7. Pollutants of concern include ROG, NOX, PM10, and <br />PM2.5. <br />Project operations were analyzed assuming operations would commence immediately following the <br />completion of each project phase’s construction. As previously stated, the anticipated construction <br />schedule displayed in Table 3 represents a construction schedule updated from that utilized in the <br />emissions modeling contained in Appendix A. While the construction schedule provided in Table 3 <br />represents a later schedule than that utilized in the emissions modeling supporting this analysis, the <br />earlier schedule utilized in the emissions modeling, which reflects the anticipated construction
