Greenhouse Gases and Climate Change. Construction- Generated Greenhouse Gas Emissions MM 5-1: Implement Pre-Construction, Final Design, and Construction Best Management Practices (BMPs). Pre-construction and Final Design BMPs are designed to ensure that individual projects are evaluated and their unique characteristics are taken into consideration when determining whether specific equipment, procedures, or material requirements are feasible and efficacious for reducing GHG emissions from a project. In addition to mitigation measures defined in the various sections of the Program EIR, the following BMPs will be applied as applicable and appropriate:  BMP 1. Evaluate project characteristics, including location, project work flow, site locations, and equipment performance requirements, to determine whether specifications for the use of equipment with repowered engines, electric drive trains, or other high-efficiency technologies are appropriate and feasible for the project or specific elements of the project.  BMP 2. Evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of performing on-site material hauling with trucks equipped with on-road engines.  BMP 3. Coordinate opportunities to carpool to the construction site.  BMP 4. Reduce electricity use in temporary construction offices by using high-efficiency lighting and requiring that heating and cooling units be Energy Star compliant. Require that all contractors develop and implement procedures for turning off computers, lights, air conditioners, heaters, and other equipment each day at close of business.  BMP 5. For deliveries to project sites where the haul distance exceeds 100 miles and a heavy-duty class 7 or class 8 semi-truck or 53-foot or longer box-type Sacramento River Flood Control Project Compliance Monitoring 1-prior to construction and 2-post construction Construction Manager, Project Sponsor, and Project Contractor(s) Greenhouse Gasses are reduced and eliminated Potential Impact Mitigation Measure (MM) Location Monitoring/ Reporting Action Timing Responsible Party Effectiveness Criteria trailer is used for hauling, a SmartWay certified truck will be used to the maximum extent feasible.  BMP 6. Recycle construction debris to reduce construction waste.  BMP 7. Maintain all construction equipment in proper working condition and perform all preventative maintenance. Required maintenance includes compliance with all manufacturer’s recommendations, proper upkeep and replacement of filters and mufflers, and maintenance of all engine and emission...

Greenhouse Gases and Climate Change. The analysis will include a brief discussion on the current state of the science (e.g., Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s [IPCC] Fourth Assessment Report) along with applicable regulatory framework and relevant guidance (e.g., AB and Senate Bill [SB] 32, federal guidance on addressing climate change in NEPA documents) associated with climate change. Project-generated construction- and operational-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will be quantified and discussed. Any GHG emissions reductions attributable to RPMs will be included in the GHG emissions modelling. It is assumed that sufficient detail will be provided to conduct an equal level of analysis of GHG emissions modeling for the alternatives. The analysis will evaluate the project in terms of its consistency with federal GHG thresholds; California’s GHG reduction goals; the Town of Mammoth General Plan; goals and policies, recommendations contained in the SB 32 Scoping Plan; and GBUAPCD’ mass emissions thresholds for determining whether project generated GHG emissions would be a cumulatively considerable contribution to the global impact of climate change. The analysis will also include a qualitative discussion about any potential adverse impacts to the project from adaptation to climate change, if any. Mitigation measures will be prepared, as needed, that clearly identify timing, responsibility, and performance standards. This EIR/EIS section will address the potential for introduction of hazardous materials that could affect the environment and the ability to evacuate the project area during an emergency and any increases in demand on emergency service providers that may cause. Provisions from the Public Health and Safety Element of the Town’s General Plan will be reviewed and summarized, as applicable. It is assumed that information on the methods for evacuation and the personnel and equipment needed to execute an evacuation will be provided by the applicant. (See, also, the discussion on Wildfire below.) Ascent will also consult with the Town and MMSA, as well as review available records pertaining to avalanche history and whether the project is located in any known avalanche runout zones. After consideration of the impact reducing effects of applicable RPMs, potentially significant direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials that could result from implementation of the project will be identified. Feasible and practical mitigation measures tha...
