7.B. - Page 50 2 Environmental Analysis Appendix C for more detail). The modeling analysis found that the average daily construction emissions would be well below the BAAQMD significance thresholds. Average Daily Emissions (lbs/day) Project Construction BAAQMD Significance Emissions Threshold for Construction Reactive Organic Gases (ROG) 1.4 54 Nitrogen Oxides (NO.) 9.8 54 PM10 (exhaust) 0.6 82 PM25 (exhaust) 0.6 54 PM10—respirable particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter PM25—fine particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter The BAAQMD considers emissions of PM10 and PM 25 less than significant if emissions from mobile sources are less than the significance levels and identifies Best Management Practices as the significance threshold for control of fugitive dust (see Appendix C). Operational Emissions. Once construction is complete, the operation of both the replacement pump station and the joint-use path would have no regular emissions of criteria or toxic pollutants, except for the testing of the emergency diesel generator up to 50 hours per year and occasional maintenance and landscaping. The estimated emissions from landscaping and maintenance and the proposed 250-kW Tier 3 diesel generator for 50 hours per year with particulate emissions of 0.13 grams/brake horsepower (bhp) hour are more than 100 times lower than the average daily and annual significance levels for ozone precursors and particulates (see Appendix C). The proposed joint-use path would enable residents of approved and proposed Bayfront development projects to have shorter, more direct non-vehicular access to the Downtown area. Residents would be able to walk or ride bicycles to jobs and retail and entertainment destinations as well as have shorter access to public transportation networks. Currently,the driving distance from One Marina to the center of Downtown is 1.5 miles. The proposed joint-use path would reduce the walking and biking distance to 0.75 miles,a 15-20 minute walk. The path would reduce the distance to the Caltrain station from 1.6 miles to 0.9 miles. Point Impact Analysis modeled the mobile source emissions from traffic at One Marina development,with and without the proposed path,using CalEEMod 211.1.1,assuming 231 residential units,three parks, a 14-acre marina, the waterfront esplanade and village walkway, 200 hotel rooms, and 10,000 square feet of retail space. The modeling shows that with the addition of the joint-use path, the improved pedestrian network and the shorter walking distances would result in at least a 2.4 percent reduction in mobile source emissions. This estimate does not take credit for future development in the Bayfront, including Pete's Harbor, or the shorter distances to destinations on Convention Way and Main Street.
