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