08/28/2007 Mitigation Impact AIR-1.2: The following construction practices shall be implemented during all phases of construction on the project site and shall be reflected as notes on the project plans prior to issuance of grading or building permits: . Water all active construction areas at least twice daily and more often during windy periods; active areas adjacent to existing land uses shall be kept damp at all times, or shall be treated with non-toxic stabilizers or dust palliatives. . Cover all trucks hauling soil, sand, and other loose materials or require all trucks to maintain at least two feet of freeboard. . Pave, apply water three times daily, or apply (non-toxic) soil stabilizers on all unpaved access roads, parking areas, and staging areas at construction sites. . Sweep daily (preferably with water sweepers) all paved access roads, parking areas, and staging areas at construction sites; water sweepers shall vacuum up excess water to avoid runoff related impacts to water quality. . Sweep streets daily (preferably with water sweepers) if visible soil material IS carried onto adjacent public streets. . Apply non-toxic soil stabilizers to inactive construction areas. . Enclose, cover, water twice daily, or apply non-toxic soil binders to exposed stockpiles (dirt, sand, etc.). . Limit traffic speeds on unpaved roads to 15 mph. . Install sandbags or other erosion control measures to prevent silt runoff to public roadways. . Replant vegetation in disturbed areas as quickly as possible. Mitigation Impact Air-1.3: The following are additional mitigation measures are recommended by the BAAQMD to reduce engine exhaust emissions: . Use alternative fueled construction equipment. . Minimize idling time (5 minutes maximum). . Maintain properly tuned equipment. . Limit the hours of operation of heavy equipment and/or the amount of equipment In use. Finding: Mitigation measures AIR-1.1 through AIR-1.3 include all feasible measures for construction emissions identified by the BAAQMD for large sites. According to the BAAQMD threshold of significance for construction impacts, implementation of the measures would reduce construction related air quality impacts of the project to a less-than-significant level. The City Council of the City of Redwood City adopts AIR-1.1 through AIR-1.3 and finds that implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce construction related air quality impacts of the project to a less- than-significant level.
