7.A. - Page 118 Redwood City Chapter 4.Environmental Impact Analysis Table 4.12-1.Annual Construction Greenhouse Gas Emissions Emission Type Annual Emissions (metric tons of COZe) COz CH4 NZO Total GHGs Annual Construction Emissions 23 0.001 0.007 24 Source:Ashworth Leininger Group 2012. Operational Emissions No New Impact.The impact of the proposed modifications on GHGs and global climate change was not evaluated in the 2007 FEIR.Therefore,rather than comparing the proposed 20-station fueling center to the 16-station fueling center that was evaluated in the 2007 FEIR,this section evaluates the impacts of the proposed modifications by comparing it to the existing 12-station fueling center. GHG emissions are expected to result from fuel combustion associated with vehicle trips,vehicle queuing,and gasoline delivery trucks.Operation of the project plus the proposed modifications (20- station fueling center) is expected to result in a slightly greater number of new daily trips as compared to the existing fueling center.The proposed 20-station fueling center is expected to result in 750 net new weekday trips,when compared to the no project condition in the 2007 FEIR,while the existing 12-station fueling center is estimated to be responsible for 730 net new weekday trips. Annual GHG emissions associated with the proposed 20-station fueling center are therefore expected to result in an additiona120 net new weekday trips,a slight increase as compared to emissions associated with the existing 12-station fueling center. Operation of the project plus proposed modifications (20-station fueling center) is expected to result in 91 vehicle queue hours per day;while the existing 12-station fueling center is estimated to have 281 queuing hours per day,more than three times greater than expected for the proposed modifications.As a result,annual GHG queuing emissions associated with the proposed 20-station fueling center are expected to be significantly lower than GHG emissions associated with the existing 12-station fueling center. Annual GHG emission changes between the operation of the proposed 20-station fueling center and operation of the existing 12-station fueling center are shown in Table 4.12-2.The proposed modifications would result in a decrease in GHG emissions due to the reduction of vehicle queuing hours;therefore,the proposed modifications would be consistent with Policy PS-5.2 in the General Plan and GHG emissions associated with the operation of the proposed modifications,and the associated impact on global climate change,would not be significant.
