Air Quality Analysis Clause Samples

Air Quality Analysis. This category of service includes determination of the level of air quality analysis required through use of ITD screening criteria. It also includes preparation of project level air quality analysis when required.

Air Quality Analysis. The Air Quality analysis shall be based on the newest approved U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), California Air Resource Board (CARS), the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (COEHHA), and Southern California Air Quality Management District (SCAQMO) guidance, as well the Harbor Department's most recent air quality protocols and policies (e.g., San ▇▇▇▇▇ Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan), and shall be performed by a team of experts in the following sub-specialties: 1. Criteria Pollutant Modeling, including dispersion modeling and hotspot analysis; 2. Health Risk Assessments based on the most up-to-date guidance from USEPA, OEHHA, and CARB and include a Particulate Matter (PM) Morbidity/Mortality analysis; and 3. General Conformity - The Consultant must perform all modeling, offer expert advice in terms of establishing new methodologies, interpret study results, and prepare guidance on new and existing rules and regulations.

Air Quality Analysis. Additional traffic data for the projects estimated time of completion (ETC) year and the ETC +20 year or farthest year used for other assessments will be needed for the air quality analysis. At this time, these traffic volumes are not anticipated to exceed 140,000 vehicles per day (vpd). Since the ETC and ETC + 20 traffic volumes do not exceed 140,000 vpd, a Traffic Air Quality Analysis will not be required. Standard recommended template language per TxDOT’s current Air Quality SOPs will be used in the EA. Since the existing and projected design year traffic volumes do not exceed 140,000 vpd, this project is not likely to meaningfully increase Mobile Source Air Toxics (MSAT) emissions. Therefore, a quantitative MSAT analysis shall not be conducted; a qualitative MSAT analysis shall be conducted and the results documented in the CE. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will document its Air Quality review in accordance with TxDOT’s

Air Quality Analysis. Determine if the proposed project would impact air quality. Is a Fugitive Dust Control Permit required for the proposed project? No Yes

Air Quality Analysis. The ENGINEER shall perform an air quality analysis in accordance with the current approved version of the TxDOT Air Quality Guidelines. The ENGINEER shall contact TxDOT to request a copy of the current version of the guidelines and associated “recommended text”; obtain from the Mobility Authority’s traffic consultant (Section III.A.6) the current and projected traffic volumes; and if required, based on design year Average Daily Traffic, ENGINEER will also obtain traffic models for the Build and No-Build scenarios, estimated time of completion and design year for the MSAT quantitative analysis. The ENGINEER shall prepare a report on air quality to document the results and methods used in modeling and air quality background information. Specific documentation shall include: a. Modeling documentation shall include traffic volumes used in modeling; computer models used; current and future year carbon monoxide concentrations; and percentages of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for current and future year. b. Air quality background information shall include: A paragraph discussing the attainment status of county or counties where project is located. A paragraph discussing the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. A statement indicating the project has been included in the current conforming metropolitan transportation plan (MTP) and transportation improvement plan (TIP). A discussion of congestion management systems for county or counties and a list of committed projects to reduce traffic congestion in county. c. The ENGINEER shall prepare a qualitative and quantitative MSAT analysis in accordance with TxDOT’s most recent guidance on this subject.  Air Quality Technical Memo
