• Model mobile source emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) for project build-out conditions using URBEMIS2007. • Calculate mobile source methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N20) as well as stationary and area source CO2, CH4, and NZO emissions for project build-out conditions using the most current BAAQMD, CARB, and California Climate Action Registry guidance and methodologies. Hazards and Hazardous Materials Due to the former uses at the project site and the classification as a contaminated site, a Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) has been prepared and submitted to the City by the Applicant. Based on information in the ESAs, Consultant will conduct the following tasks for incorporation into the IS: • Peer review and evaluate the Phase I/Phase II ESAs and provide comments if necessary. • Identify potential exposure to hazardous materials or waste during construction activities and during long-term operation at the project site. • Describe applicable federal, State, and local regulations and how these regulations apply to the proposed project and reduce the potential for impact. • Evaluate potential public health risks at the site from groundwater and soil contamination from prior land uses. In addition, the analysis will focus on any potentially poor hazardous materials "housekeeping" practices at the site or from nearby uses. This information will be augmented by the Phase I ESA. • Include a discussion of the potential hazardous materials that could be used during the operation of the proposed project and any potential releases of these materials. • Include a discussion of the potential public health risk from exposure to hazardous building components in the structures to be demolished at the project site (e.g., asbestos, PCBs, etc.). Hydrology/Water Quality To evaluate impacts related to Hydrology and Water Quality, Consultant will conduct the following tasks: • Describe the existing regulatory environment, including, but not limited to, the Construction General Permit, Municipal Regional Permit for stormwater discharges (including how the project relates to C.3 requirements), the Redwood City Municipal Code, and the California Building Code. These regulations require specific measures for reducing potential impacts on hydrology and water quality as well as from flooding. • Assess potential project hydrology and water quality impacts in light of existing regulations and policies that would serve to minimize potential impacts. Pertinent regulatory requirements will be explicitly identified so that the nexus between regulations and minimized impacts is apparent. • Identify mitigation measures, where feasible, to minimize potentially significant or significant proposed project impacts.
