Mitigation: Mitigation $-2. fn addition to the project�proposed sustainability measures described in chapter 3 {Project Description} of the Draf1 EIR, which include a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program, implement the folEowing measure: Minimize testing of the new generators to reduce ROG emissions. New generatar emissions, as computed an an annual basis, shall be reduced by 30 percent ar greater. This could be achieved in a number af ways: 1. Instal�fewer than the assumed 13 new�enerators; 2. lnstall generatars with lower emissions {in this case,smalfer generatars); 3. Test new generators at Iower runr�ing loads {the analysis assumed 100- percent load, so 50-percent load wauld reduce emissians);andlor 4. Reduce the number af annual#esting hours. The appficant shail submit an analysis of the new generator emissions prior to installing more than five new genera#ors at the project develapment site. Finding: Implementation of Mitigation 8-2 would reduce ROG emissions by 2.7 pounds �er day, resufting in tota! ROG emissions of 53.1 pounds per day (below the BAAQMD significance threshold of 5�4 pounds per day), a less-than-srgrr�cant rmpacf. However, this mitigation measure would reduce PMio emissions by a mfnimai amoiant, leaving PM,o emissions above the BAAQMD significance threshold and resulting in a significant uRavoidable project and cumulative operatiorra!air qualifjr rmpac�. Facts iiir� Support of Finding: 1n combination wRth the project-proposed TDM program, implementation of M+tigatio� 8-2 wauld reduce the project's operational ROG emissions to a less-than-significant level by minimizing generator testing. Howe►►er, e�en with all feasible mitigation, operational PM�o emissions wauld exceed the BAAQMD threshold, due mainly to overall traffic generated by full buildout of the project, resulting in a significant unavoidable preject and cumulative operational air quality impact. These facts are described and quanti�ed in Draft EIR chapter S (Air Quality) on pages 8-1 through 8-28, Draft EIR appendix 21.4 (Supplemental Air Quality and Cfimate Change Information), and Final EIR appendix B (Supplemental Bay Area Air Quality Management District [BAAQMD] Information}, which are hereby incorporated by reference. impact: Impact 8-3: Community Risk and Hazarc! Impacts. Project development could expose attendees of the on-site child care center #o significant levels of PMz,S. 5ignificant impacts from the 7yco Thermal Controls Facility to attendees of the prapased child care facility are anticipated to be sign�cant regardless of where the child care facility is located withir�#he Precise Plan area.
