Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Sample Clauses

Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The 2008 EIR evaluated air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) impacts from the buildout of the proposed plan. While the Final EIR concluded that construction and operational emissions could result in significant air quality impacts, there have been substantial changes to air quality and GHG regulations and analytical methodologies since issuance of the Final EIR in 2008. Additionally, since the transportation analysis would be revised, we recommend revising the Air Quality and GHG analyses accordingly to reflect the redistribution of land uses and associated trips, as well as the potential for increased development density under the TASP update. Accordingly, ICF proposes to quantify criteria pollutant and GHG emissions from buildout of the TASP Update (if changed compared to the original Plan), which may include 170 acres of the remaining undeveloped land within the TASP and some adjacent parcels. ICF will use the Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s (BAAQMD) most recent CEQA Air Quality Guidelines to evaluate project impacts. We will describe the air quality thresholds used to identify significant impacts based on the BAAQMD’s Guidelines and guidance provided by BAAQMD staff, as well as the methodology used to estimate emissions. Where appropriate, ICF will incorporate relevant environmental setting information from the 2008 EIR into the SEIR for the TASP Update. The air quality and GHG chapters will present all new or updated regulations and background data as it applies to the project. The impact analysis for the TASP Update will assess the following: Operational air quality impacts associated with growth under the TASP Update will be evaluated by determining whether it is consistent with the most recently adopted Clean Air Plan prepared by BAAQMD, as well as with their recommended analysis thresholds. While the City has a climate action plan (CAP), it is only qualified for CEQA tiering to 2020 and therefore cannot be used to evaluate GHG emissions beyond the 2020 planning horizon. Likewise, BAAQMD’s current GHG thresholds are derived from the state’s 2020 GHG reduction goal, and therefore may not be appropriate to evaluate emissions generated after 2020. BAAQMD is currently working on an update to their CEQA Guidelines, which is expected to include GHG thresholds to project-level GHG emissions relative to the state’s post-2020 GHG reduction targets. Because the regulatory environment for GHG emissions is frequently evolving, the significant thresho...

Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The air quality section will evaluate both short- and long-term air quality effects. A separate EIR section will analyze Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. The computational procedures for both issues use the same modeling approach, so the work on these issues will be performed simultaneously. This analysis section will be prepared in accordance with the methodologies outlined in the San Xxxx Obispo County Air Pollution Control District CEQA Air Quality Handbook (APCD April 2012). The motor vehicle constituents of concern include ROG, NOX, CO, and PM10. Significance criteria for criteria pollutants will be based on APCD thresholds. APCD recommended mitigation measures will be incorporated. The EIR will also address the project’s compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards and the San Xxxx Obispo County Clean Air Plan. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have been recognized by the State of California as an issue of increasing importance within the context of CEQA analysis. California Senate Bill 97 (SB 97, signed in August 2007, acknowledges that climate change requires analysis under CEQA. The approach and thresholds for the GHG discussion will be based on Greenhouse Gas Thresholds and Supporting Evidence (APCD March 28, 2012). Xxxxxx will use the latest version of the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) software to estimate emissions of criteria pollutants and for GHG. CalEEMod was developed by air districts throughout the state and is designed as a uniform platform for government agencies, land use planners and environmental professionals to quantify potential criteria pollutant and GHG emissions associated with project construction and operation. The model quantifies direct emissions from construction and operation (including vehicle use), as well as indirect emissions, such as GHG emissions from energy production, solid waste handling, vegetation planting and/or removal, and water conveyance. Further, the model calculates the benefits from implementing mitigation measures, including GHG mitigation measures developed and approved by the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA). Emission factor data, when not identified in the APCD guidelines, will be obtained from EPA AP-42, Compilation of Air Pollutant Emissions Factors, Third Edition, and any updates published by the EPA, as well as the California Climate Action Registry’s General Reporting Protocol, and other sources, as appropriate. Traffic data to be input ...

Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The EIR will evaluate the air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from construction and operation of the project in conformance with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) guidelines and the CEQA guidelines based on an assessment to be completed by Xxxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx. The analysis will including: • Evaluation of the consistency of the project within the 2010 Clean Air Plan. • An assessment of changes to local air quality in terms of carbon monoxide and toxic air contaminants (TACs) will be completed based on a comparison of ambient air quality standards and BAAQMD risk management policy. Potential community risk impacts from roadway traffic and stationary sources will be described using BAAQMD screening data. • A plan level review of construction impacts will be qualitatively addressed. As the Xxxxxx site is not in proximity to sensitive receptors, project-level construction impacts need not be quantified but will also be qualitatively addressed. Mitigation will be identified for identified construction and operational air quality impacts. The project site is located in the City of San Xxxx, which has a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reduction Strategy. The County has an adopted Climate Action Plan, but the plan has not been qualified as a GHG Reduction Strategy consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5. The EIR will discuss the project’s consistency with the City of San Jose’s GHG Reduction Strategy. To further address the potential GHG emissions impacts of the project, Xxxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx will also quantify GHG emissions from the proposed development using the CalEEMod models.

Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions. We will prepare this section in accordance with Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) Guidelines. We will analyze both temporary construction effects and long-term regional effects. We will compare growth potential under the General Plan EIR to the Housing Element. This analysis will also consider the project’s potential contribution to cumulative impacts related to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate change. An overview of the current regulatory framework regarding GHGs/climate change including SB 32, AB 32, SB 97, and SB 375, as well as adopted amendments to the CEQA Guidelines, will be described.
