06/07/2004 <br />Mitigation: The Project shall retain a qualified archaeologist to monitor <br />Project - related ground- disturbing activities. In the event that subsurface cultural <br />resources are encountered during such activities, work in the immediate vicinity shall be <br />stopped, the retained archaeologist shall evaluate the finds, and the Project shall <br />implement the measures set forth in Mitigation 14 -1. <br />Findings: Implementation of Mitigation 14 -1 will reduce the significance <br />of the Project's potential impact to cultural and historic resources to a less -than- <br />significant level. <br />XII. AIR QUALITY <br />A. Construction Emissions <br />Potential Impact: Project construction activities would generate exhaust <br />emissions and fugitive particulate matter emissions that would affect local air quality <br />(Impact 15 -1). <br />Mitigation: The Project shall be required to implement fugitive dust <br />control measures recommended by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and <br />described in Mitigation 15 -1. <br />Findings: Implementation of Mitigation 15 -1 will reduce the air quality <br />impacts related to construction emissions to a less- than - significant level. <br />B. Project and Cumulative Impacts on Regional Emissions <br />Potential Impact: The additional vehicular traffic generated by the <br />Project would produce regional emissions exceeding Bay Area Air Quality Management <br />District thresholds of significance for reactive organic gases, nitrogen oxide and PM10 <br />(Impact 15 -2). <br />Mitigation: The Project shall implement the transportation demand <br />management mitigations identified in Chapter 7 of the FEIR and shall require office, <br />retail, and residential components of the Project to implement additional mitigation <br />measures to encourage pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes of travel, as more fully <br />described in Mitigation 15 -2. <br />Findings: Implementation of the measures described in Mitigation 15 -2 is <br />expected to reduce Project emissions by approximately fifteen percent. However, it is <br />not feasible to reduce Project - generated traffic to a level which does not increase <br />emissions by a significant amount, so that even with implementation of these measures, <br />the impact of Project- associated emissions is expected to remain at a significant level <br />and to contribute to a significant unavoidable cumulative impact. <br />1289 \02 \179278.2 34 <br />Atty /Reso /Reso.1470 14590 <br />060804 Muff # 304 Bin 26 <br />
