adopted Bay Area Air Quality District (BAAQMD) CEQA Guidelines, the proposed project is well below the operational criteria pollutant screening size and the PM,o construction - related screening criteria. Therefore, a detailed operational air quality assessment and a construction assessment for PM are not required. The project is above the operational screening levels for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. DJP &A will prepare an operational GHG emissions analysis using the BAAQMD Greenhouse Gas Model (BGM). Project design features that would reduce global GHG emissions (associated with energy use and water use in buildings as well as vehicle miles traveled) will be identified as avoidance and /or mitigation measures, as appropriate. Based on the BAAQMD screening tables, the minimum allowable setback from an air toxic pollutant source for a less than significant exposure risk is 95 meters. The project site is adjacent to existing housing which could be exposed to air toxics during construction. In addition, the proposed project will be located adjacent to El Camino Real, which could expose future residents of the project site to air toxins as well. To address the community risk impacts, Illingworth and Rodkin will complete a screening level modeling using the Cal3QHCR dispersion model to predict cancer risk and PM25 exposure. Cancer risks, chronic and acute hazards and annual PM2.5 concentrations would be predicted at the project site and at adjacent properties. These levels would be compared to the BAAQMD thresholds for single source and cumulative source impacts. If significant impacts are identified, based on the technical analysis, mitigation measures will be identified. 6. Meetings This scope of work includes Principal and/or Project Manager attendance at up to five meetings with the project team and/or City staff, one public scoping meeting, and four public hearings. If our attendance is needed at additional meetings, it can be added to the scope, upon your approval, on a time and materials basis. C. PREPARATION OF MITIGATION, MONITORING OR REPORTING PROGRAM AND OF FINDINGS 1. Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program In accordance with state law and the CEQA Guidelines, we will prepare a Mitigation, Monitoring or Reporting Program (MMRP) that identifies when mitigation measures will be implemented, who will be responsible for implementing them, and who will provide oversight. The MMRP will be completed and submitted to City staff prior to the Planning Commission hearing on the project. 2. Findings Although we are not attorneys and cannot prepare findings, we will assist your attorney and /or City staff in compiling information from the EIR for findings required under CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, if requested to do so. Because of our desire to avoid an appearance of a conflict of interest, we cannot assist in preparing a Statement of Overriding Considerations, should one be required. We can advise you on documentation to support such a statement. D. NOTICE OF DETERMINATION DJP &A will prepare the Notice of Determination (NOD) and submit it to the State Clearinghouse and the County Clerks office five days after the City Council makes a final decision on the proposed ©g 0 11011 Q ®a
