115 until a method could be found to spread the cost, such as a part of the North Pleasanton Assessment District expenses. He stated he feels strongly that a balanced community should be formed. Mr. Callahan stated he is extremely disappointed that the opponents felt they had not been properly notified or informed as he has used every means available to insure that all Pleasanton residents had access to every available information, and that he is still willing to meet with anyone to further explain the project and to answer any questions they may have. He stated there will be a regional traffic study as part of the Assessment District Environmental Impact Report which will include the entire Livermore-Amador Valley. Mr. Callahan stated he disagreed with the technical comments presented tonight relative to noise and air quality. He stated that noise standards were adopted that are reasonable and can be enforced. He stated there are 26 bus stops within the business park to provide for ample mass transit. Mr. Callahan stated that the set of conditions imposed on this business park will give ample power to the City for control of development. Dr. Mike Hogan, Earthmetrics, stated that the noise standards proposed were those recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency as the most stringent, realistic levels attainable. He stated that after mitigation there would be primarily benefi- cial impacts as noise levels in most areas would decrease and virtually all are ex- pected to be able to meet the 60 dB Ldn standard. He stated the air quality figures presented by one speaker were incorrect, that the Valley is one of the better air quality areas in the bay area, with only ozone a problem. He stated the smog im- pacts are not potentially significant. Mr. Hogan stated that two speakers alluded to carbon monoxide emissions percentage increases; he stated these were misleading because of the previously vacant land. He stated the air quality levels in the re- port are correct. Mr. Hogan stated the model used for the report has been used and approved in more than 60 projects in the last several years and he had been in con- tact with ABAG and the Bay Area Air Quality ManagementDistrict. He felt the model used for CO modelling had a magnitude of error of 1.2-1.6. There being no further testimony, Mayor Butler declared the public hearing closed.
