<br />Pleasanton Gateway Environmental Checklist <br /> <br />Issues (Continued) <br /> <br /> Less Than <br />Potentially Significant Less Than <br />Significant With Mitigation Signil1cant No <br />Impact Incorporated Impact Impact <br />D D [K] D <br /> <br />e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial num- <br />ber of people? <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />a-d) The proposed project is expected to generate short-term impacts related to construction activities. <br />Initially, short-term impacts will be due to mobilization, clearing and grubbing, site grading, and <br />trenching for on-site infrastructure leading to the construction of the building and site improve- <br />ments. During construction some equipment may exceed some of the established BAAQMD <br />emissions standards, however, it is required that all construction equipment meet all current ex- <br />haust standards for emission reductions to maintain compliance to the NO" To mitigate short <br />term construction impacts the project will be rcquired to provide dust control measures to reduce <br />dust emissions and PMIO: <br /> <br />· Enclose, cover or water all soil piles minimally twice daily, or as otherwise determined <br />by the City Engineer. <br />· Water all haul roads twice daily. <br /> <br />Long-term operational emissions would be generated by both stationary and mobile sources as a <br />result of normal day-to-day activities on site subsequent to construction completion. Stationary <br />area source emission would be generated by the vehicles queued in the two drive-through aisles <br />and operation of landscape maintenance equipment. However, Mobile source emissions would <br />be generated by motor vehicles traveling to and from the project site. Therefore, this would be a <br />less-than-significant-impact. <br /> <br />c) The proposed project will result in the construction of a commercial development and is not ex- <br />pected to produce post construction objectionable odors, Odor control devices will be required <br />on all restaurants as a means of controlling cooking odors, Therefore, this would be a less-than- <br />significant-impact. <br /> <br />4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES <br /> <br />Environmental Setting <br /> <br />Wetlands are regulated under federal, state and local laws, regulations and policies, Primary wetland <br />regulatory compliance is under the federal Clean Water Act, the California Department of Fish and <br />Game (CDFG), United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and California Environmental Qual- <br />ity Act (CEQA). <br /> <br />The Clean Water Act requires avoidance of wetlands whenever a practicable alternative exists. For un- <br />avoidable impacts, the regulatory agencies have policies calling for mitigation to provide "no net loss" <br />of acreage or habitat value. Under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, a permit must be obtained for <br />the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States. <br /> <br />Pleasanton Gateway Initial Study <br /> <br />Page 16 of 37 <br /> <br />November 8, 2006 <br />
