As shown in Table 5, Phase 1 grading activities and Phase 2 pavement <br />removal activities would generate the greatest volume of exhaust emissions during project <br />construction. These activities would occur across the entire project site. The Maximum Impacted <br />Sensitive Receptor (MIR) during construction would be at the multi-family residences approximately <br />130 feet east of the project site across from Stoneridge Mall Road. <br />Table 8 provides the estimated health and hazard impacts from construction emissions at the MIR <br />for each sensitive receptor age group. The estimates shown in Table 10 include the application of <br />BMPs recommended by the BAAQMD and required by MM AIR-1; however, it should be noted that <br />implementation of MM AIR-1 would only reduce PM2.5 fugitive dust emissions and not PM2.5 <br />exhaust. <br />Table 8: Estimated Health Risks and Hazards—Unmitigated Construction <br />Sensitive Receptor Age Group <br />Cancer Risk <br />(risk per million) <br />Chronic Non- <br />Cancer Hazard <br />Index1 <br />Annual PM2.5 <br />Concentration <br />(µg/m3) <br />Infant 17.54 0.03 0.16 <br />Child 3.37 0.03 0.16 <br />Adult 0.52 0.03 0.16 <br />Risks and Hazards 21.43 0.03 0.16 <br />BAAQMD Thresholds of Significance 10 1 0.3 <br />Exceeds Individual Source Threshold? Yes No No <br />Notes: <br />1 Chronic non-cancer hazard index was estimated by dividing the annual DPM concentration (as PM2.5 exhaust) by the <br />reference exposure level of 5 µg/m3. <br />Source: Appendix A. <br /> <br />As shown above in Table 8, the proposed project’s construction DPM emissions would exceed the <br />BAAQMD’s cancer risk but would not exceed the BAAQMD’s chronic non-cancer hazard index or <br />annual PM2.5 thresholds of significance at the maximum impacted receptor for any of the sensitive <br />receptor age groups analyzed. Therefore, the proposed project would be required to implement MM <br />AIR-2 to ensure that construction emissions would not result in significant health impacts to nearby <br />sensitive receptors. <br />MM AIR-2 would require the use of Tier 4 Final engines for select construction equipment, including <br />excavators, sweepers and scrubbers, trenchers, graders, scrapers, aerial lifts, cement and mortar <br />mixers, cranes, forklifts, welders, pavers, rollers, and off-highway trucks. Equipment tiers refer to a <br />generation of emission standards established by the EPA and ARB that apply to diesel engines in off- <br />road equipment. The “tier” of an engine depends on the model year and horsepower rating; <br />generally, the newer a piece of equipment is, the higher the tier number it is likely to have. Excluding <br />engines greater than 750 horsepower, Tier 1 engines were manufactured generally between 1996 <br />and 2003. Tier 2 engines were manufactured between 2001 and 2007. Tier 3 engines were
