FIRSTCARBON Proposal SOLUTIONS ' Deliverables • One (1) electronic version of the Administrative Draft NOP to the City of Pleasanton • One (1) electronic version of the final NOP to the City of Pleasanton • Fifteen (15) hard copies and the Notice of Completion to the State Clearinghouse Task 3: Technical Studies Task 3.A: Air Quality/Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis The air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG)analysis will include an evaluation of short-term (construction) and long-term (operation) impacts.The analysis will follow guidance from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) including, but not limited to their CEQA Air Quality Guidelines and personal communications with the air district.The AQ/GHG analysis will be incorporated into the EIR directly, with the associated model outputs, assumptions, and calculations provided in the appendices of the EIR.The analysis will be performed in accordance with the CEQA guidelines and applicable thresholds of significance from BAAQMD or other applicable regulatory agencies.The analysis requires the following tasks. Compile Background Air Quality and Climate Change Information The air quality background information will include a description of air pollutants,the factors that influence air quality within the region,existing air quality conditions, and the regulatory environment for air quality. The analysis will briefly describe the health impacts of the various air pollutants.The applicable General Plan policies with respect to air quality will be included as a list. The GHG background information will include a description of greenhouse gases,a brief discussion of the current state of the science,existing GHG emissions inventories applicable to the project,and the regulatory environment surrounding climate change and potential impacts of climate change. The applicable General Plan policies with respect to GHGs will be included as a list.The City of Pleasanton's Climate Action Plan will be discussed including adopted emission reduction targets (i.e., 15% below 2005 levels by 2020)and applicable emission reductions strategies and measures. Estimate Air Pollutant and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Construction and operation of the project would generate air pollutants and GHG emissions. Air pollutant emissions associated with construction and operation will be estimated using the most current version of the California Emissions Estimator Model (CaIEEMod),which at the time of this writing is Version 2016.3.1. Emissions of the following air quality pollutants will be estimated: reactive organic gases (ROG5),oxides of nitrogen (NOX), particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 10 microns (PM10), and particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 microns(PM2.5). Construction equipment and vehicles used during project construction would emit air pollutant and GHG emissions as a result of fossil fuel combustion. Earth disturbance activities such as site grading, cut/fill operations, and site preparation would generate fugitive PM dust in the form of PM10 and PM2.5 NORTH AMERICA I EUROPE I AFRICA I AUSTRALIA I ASIA 5 FI RSTCAR B O N SO LUTIO NS.CO M
