However, the 1998 HVSP FEIR does not <br />define sensitive receptor nor make a finding as to the impact of the project on sensitive receptors. <br />FirstCarbon Solutions (FCS) performed an Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas analysis to consider the <br />potential of the proposed project to expose sensitive receptors to asbestos, fugitive PM and diesel <br />particulate matter (DPM) emissions during construction, emissions of toxic air contaminants (TACs) <br />during operation, and CO hotspots. FCS found that neither existing nor new sensitive receptors <br />would be exposed to substantial air pollutant concentrations due to CO hotspots, asbestos, or <br />existing or proposed operational emissions (see Appendix B for details). FCS found that fugitive PM <br />emissions would be mitigated through the measures included in the 1998 HVSP FEIR, as refined and <br />enhanced. Furthermore, emissions of DPM during construction would not result in a new impact, <br />since construction fleets now already have average emissions lower than the corresponding Tier III <br />engine standards that would otherwise be imposed as mitigation. <br />Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any peculiar effects and would not result in new <br />or more severe impacts beyond what was previously analyzed in the 1998 HVSP FEIR. <br />d) Odors <br />Would the project: Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors or) adversely affecting <br />a substantial number of people? <br />The 1998 HVSP FEIR did not address potential impacts from odors. The 2018 analysis found that <br />there was the potential for objectionable odors during construction of the proposed project, but <br />that the impact would be less than significant due to the short-term nature of the activities and the <br />relatively low intensity of construction activities. Operation of the proposed project would not be <br />expected to result in objectionable odors. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any <br />peculiar effects and would not result in new or more severe impacts related to odors beyond what <br />was previously analyzed in the 1998 HVSP FEIR. <br />FEIR Mitigation Measures <br />The following mitigation measures were adopted as part of the 1998 HVSP FEIR (Appendix A) and <br />would apply to the project. <br />MM D1 During the construction period, all active unpaved construction areas (residential, <br />golf course, roads, and infrastructure) shall be watered as needed, or treated with <br />soil stabilizers, in order to avoid dust, and exposed stockpiles of dirt or sand shall be <br />enclosed, covered, or treated with dust-preventives.
