Operational Impacts. H-9/Item 1 “Nitrogen Oxide: Natural gas consumption would double by the end of Phase II and increase to 3,400,000 therms per year by the end of Phase III, assuming natural gas is used to fuel boilers. Without measures to control emissions, this would be a significant impact.” 5F-9 H-10/Item 2 “Fuel Oil Combustion: Fuel oil will be used only in the event of natural gas curtailment. A five-day supply would be stored which, if burned, would result in emissions which would be a significant impact.” 5F-10 Bayer will comply with Federal regulations governing nitrogen oxide emissions from natural gas fueled boilers. Bayer will comply with Federal regulations governing emissions from fuel oil used to operate boilers.
Operational Impacts. Operation of new campus buildings and facilities would result in traffic to and from the campus and emissions from stationary sources, which would emit pollutants. We will estimate and report operational emissions of criteria pollutants from the project’s mobile and area sources. The emissions will be estimated using the recommended tools and methodologies from the BAAQMD. Mobile source emissions will be based on the project trips obtained from the project traffic report. Area source emissions, which include natural gas combustion from water heaters, landscaping equipment emissions, and use of consumer products, will be estimated based on model assumptions. Because the campus site is currently developed, it would be appropriate to estimate and deduct the existing emissions from the total emissions at buildout in order to determine the net change in emissions from plan implementation. Net emissions will be compared to the BAAQMD threshold of significance. Mitigation measures will be recommended for any potentially significant impacts.
Operational Impacts. Idaho has identified an estimated 2,002 acres of operational impacts from Albeni Falls Dam, within the state of Idaho, based on average observed rates of habitat acreage impacted annually. The parties agree that the 2,002 acre estimate represents the entire interest that Idaho has in fish and wildlife mitigation for the operational impacts of 2 The difficulties related to the use of the habitat evaluation procedure and its habitat unit metric have been extensively documented. See Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, Regional Habitat Evaluation Team Final Assessment and Analysis of the NW Power Act [Wildlife Mitigation] Funded by Bonneville (April 28, 2015) on file at Bonneville and available at xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/hep/historical-perspective-papers/. Albeni Falls Dam. This estimate reflects the parties’ in-place, in-kind approach to mitigating operational impacts and the footprint of priority restoration projects that Idaho identified at the Xxxxx Fork and Priest River deltas, considering observable shoreline habitat impacts at those locations. To date, IDFG has mitigated 624 acres of operational impacts with Bonneville funding as committed in the June 1, 2012 letter agreement (Attachment 2).

Operational Impacts. For the purpose of wildlife mitigation for southern Idaho dams and for the purpose of resident fish and wildlife mitigation for Deadwood Dam, operational impacts equate to an additional 1,330 acres. To resolve the Idaho share of these operational impacts, BPA will fund, and Idaho will assume responsibility for, mitigation of 665 acres.
