� � � �-Z1 � SCOPE OF WORK, cont. � operation of the hospital's existing and proposed central plants. It is our understanding that no helipad or helicopter arrivals/departments aze planned for the project; therefore, this scope of work does not include any analysis of helicopter flight noise. Short-term construction noise impacts will be � assessed. Noise impacts will be assessed for both the hospital itself as a sensitive receptor, as well as the adjacent residential and park uses. Mitigation measures will be identified for any significant noise impacts. � Air Qualiry � The EIR will include an analysis of project air quality impacts, to be prepared by Don Ballanti, Consulting Meteorologist. The analysis will provide the following infomiation: � • T'he existing conditions section discussion will reflect recent changes in standards, attainxnent status, and current air quality. • The vehicle-related local and regional air quality impacts of the project will be quantified, � using the traffic generation rates calculated by Fehr & Peers Associates, Inc. The CALINE-4 computer model will be used to project carbon monoxide impacts, and the URBEMIS-2002 computer program will be used to project regional changes in air pollutant emissions. � • The report will describe the construction air quality impacts. • Review air quality mitigation measures or programs included in the project for feasibility and effectiveness. � • Develop, together with the project transportation consultant, project-specific mitigation measures for air quality impacts such as transit, bicycle and pedeshian incentives and site planning to reduce travel. The effectiveness of these measures will be evaluated. � For the purposes of this scope of work, it is assumed that the emergency diesel generator and other central plant equipment will meet the permitting requirements of the Bay Area Air Quality � Management District and, therefore, no stationary source emission analysis is included for the diesel generator or other equipment. � Geology and Soils The EIR will describe the geology and soils of the project site, based upon geotechnical analyses � prepared under separate agreement for Sequoia Hospital and provided to DJP&A. The EIR will describe any geologic constraints that pose potential impacts to project development and identify mitigation measures for significant soils and geologic impacts. � Land Use and Planning � The EIR will describe the existing land uses on the site and in the project azea, in addition to the current General Plan and zoning designations of the site and vicinity. The EIR will describe the land uses proposed by the project, and identify potential constr3ints to the project from existing land uses. The EIR will describe the project's consistency with adopted plans and policies. Potential impacts will be identified, and mitigation measures will be described for any significant land use impacts.
