The proposed project <br /> construction activities would emit appro�mately 127.7 metric tans of carbon dio�de equivalent gases <br /> (see Appendix C). The proposed project would incorporate the BAAQMD best management <br /> pracrices to xeduce GHG emissions during construcrion (see GHG 1 and AIR 1} and wou�d meet the <br /> significance threshold. The following mitigation measures would reduce the impacts of the praject <br /> on greenhouse gas concentrarions during construction. <br /> Mitigation Measure GHG 1: Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Reducing GHG <br /> Emissions from Construction <br /> The City sha11 encourage the Contractor to implement the followirxg BMPs during <br /> construcrion oE the proposed project,where appropriate: <br /> • At least 15 percent of the construction vehicle fleet shall use alternarive fuel. <br /> • At least 10 percent of the materials used for project construction shall be sourced <br /> locally (within 50 miles of the pxoject site). <br /> • At least 50 percent of tl�e waste generated by project construction shall be recpcled or <br /> reused. <br /> 2-35 US 101 Pe�Te.ctrian Undercr�ossing and Bair <br /> Islund Aoad Sta��Drain Paamp 5tatlon Project <br />
