ground at the site. Limiting traffic speeds on unpaved roads would reduce the amount of dust lifted into the air by vehicles. Installing sandbags and sweeping would remove exposed dust and silt from streets adjacent to the site. The potential impact of the Project as contemplated in the Higher Occupancy Scenario would be similar to the potential impact of the Project as proposed, because the construction activities of the Project as contemplated in the Higher Occupancy Scenario would be similar to the construction activities of the Project as proposed. Likewise, the mitigation measures would be similarly effective with respect to the Project as proposed and the Project as contemplated in the Higher Occupancy Scenario. V. NOISE A. Construction Noise and Vibration Potential Impact: Under the proposed project and the Higher Occupancy Scenario, construction of new facilities at the Project site would temporarily generate noise and vibration levels that would exceed the limits set forth in the City of Redwood City's Noise Ordinance for construction and demolition noise. (Significant) Mitigation: The following mitigation measures, as set forth in the FEIR, are hereby adopted and will be implemented as provided in the Mitigation Monitoring Program: • Mitigation Measures NO -1.1, NO -1.2 Finding: Mitigation Measures NO -1.1 and NO -1.2 are feasible and would substantially reduce most of the potentially significant construction noise impacts. In addition, implementation of the mitigation measures would substantially reduce the effects of vibration on nearby structures and sensitive receptors. However, the impact would remain significant and unavoidable. There is no other feasible mitigation measure available to avoid or substantially reduce the significant environmental impact described above. The mitigation measures would substantially reduce most of the potentially significant construction noise by implementing best management practices. Best management practices would include the use of quiet equipment where possible, muffling and enclosing noisy equipment, a locating equipment away from sensitive receptors. The mitigation measures would substantially reduce most of the potentially significant construction vibration by using techniques to minimize the vibrations from pile- driving equipment. Overriding Considerations: The environmental, economic, social and other benefits of the Project override the significant impact described above,
