Energy use consumed by the <br />proposed project was estimated and includes natural gas, electricity, and fuel consumption for the <br />proposed project construction and operation. Energy calculations are included as part of Appendix D. <br />Would the project: <br />a) Result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or <br />unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation? <br />Less than significant impact. A discussion of the proposed project’s energy use is presented below. <br />The proposed project's energy use was estimated and includes electricity and fuel consumption for <br />the proposed project. Energy calculations are included as part of Appendix D of this Draft IS/MND. <br />Construction Impacts <br />The anticipated construction schedule was conservatively assumed to begin in September 2021 and <br />conclude March 2023. If the construction schedule moves to later years, construction emissions <br />would likely decrease because of improvements in technology and more stringent regulatory <br />requirements as older, less efficient equipment is replaced by newer and cleaner equipment. The <br />proposed project would require site preparation, grading, building construction, architectural <br />coating, and paving. The construction phase would require energy for the manufacture and <br />transportation of building materials, preparation of the site (e.g., site clearing, and grading), and the <br />actual construction of the building. Petroleum-based fuels such as diesel fuel and gasoline would be <br />the primary sources of energy for these tasks. <br />The types of on-site equipment used during the construction of the proposed project could include <br />gasoline- and diesel-powered construction and transportation equipment, including trucks, <br />bulldozers, front-end loaders, forklifts, and cranes. Construction equipment is estimated to consume <br />a total of 54,533 gallons of diesel fuel over the entire construction duration (Appendix D).
