dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. FCS will use BAAQMD thresholds of significance to evaluate the <br /> project's construction and operational GHG emissions. In addition, FCS will analyze the project's <br /> consistency with the City of Pleasanton's Climate Action Plan as required by CEQA.Changes to the <br /> project that occur after completing the modeling analysis that require re-modeling will be considered <br /> additional work that is not covered by this scope of work. <br /> Assess Odor Exposure <br /> The analysis will assess odor exposure to nearby residents.The discussion will compare the project to the <br /> screening criteria and buffer distances prescribed by BAAQMD and the California Air Resources Board <br /> (ARB). FCS will provide a qualitative analysis of the project's potential to generate an odor impact. Based on <br /> the project land uses(i.e., residential), it is not anticipated that the project would result in an odor impact. <br /> Assess Carbon Monoxide Hotspot Impacts <br /> FCS will use the BAAQMD's screening criteria for carbon monoxide(CO) hotspots,which is anticipated to <br /> be sufficient to dismiss any potential impacts. However, in the case that potential CO hotspots are <br /> identified, FCS will use dispersion modeling to quantify impacts according to BAAQMD guidance under a <br /> revised scope of work and budget. Quantitative CO Hotspot modeling would be considered additional <br /> services, if required. <br /> Construction-Related Health Risk Assessment <br /> Based on the area of land to be disturbed, land uses developed, and proximity to sensitive receptors, FCS <br /> anticipates that a construction-related Health Risk Assessment (HRA)will be necessary to evaluate the <br /> project's construction-related toxic air contaminant (TAC)emissions. FCS will prepare a construction HRA <br /> based on the recommended BAAQMD's Health Risk Assessment Guidelines(HRA Guidelines) (BAAQMD <br /> 2016) and Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment's(OEHHA) Risk Assessment Guidelines <br /> (OEHHA 2015).The following tasks will be required for the construction HRA: <br /> FCS will perform the following tasks as part of this analysis. <br /> • Define what a sensitive receptor is and identify nearby sensitive receptors. <br /> • Identify health risk standards and acceptable cancer and acute and chronic non-cancer risk <br /> thresholds from diesel emissions that are detailed in BAAQMD's thresholds of significance. <br /> • The following subtasks will be utilized to perform the construction-related HRA: <br /> Calculate the on-site construction equipment diesel equipment PM2.5 and total organic gases <br /> emissions rates that were calculated in the AQ Analysis prepared for the proposed project. <br /> Calculate the daily construction truck trip estimates used in the AQ Analysis and calculate each <br /> truck trip's PM2.5 emissions rates through use of the EMFAC2017 model. <br /> - Model the diesel PMz 5 concentrations at representative nearby sensitive receptors associated <br /> with the on-site construction equipment and off-site truck emissions up to 1,000 feet from the <br /> project site through utilization of the AERMOD model, using the emissions rates provided in the <br /> previous steps and the methodology described in the HRA Guidelines. <br /> NORTH AMERICA I FUROPE I AFRICA 1 AUSTRALIA I ASIA <br /> FIRSTCARBONSOLUTIONS.COM <br />
