In particular discuss impacts of landscap- <br /> ing expected to be added on the slopes adjacent to <br /> portions of the subject interchanges. <br /> <br />o Develop mitigation measures for biological issues, <br /> if needed. <br /> <br />Air Quality <br /> <br />o Assemble existing air quality and weather data <br /> from Earth Metrics air quality and meteorological <br /> monitoring programs within the NPID project area <br /> and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. <br /> <br /> <br />
