Summary of 2018 Spotorno Ranch Air Quality Analysis <br />March 22, 2021 <br />Page 13 <br /> <br />assumed to begin in October 2018 and be completed by December 2020. If the construction schedule <br />moves to later years, construction emissions would decrease compared with the emissions generated <br />during the anticipated schedule because of future improvements in technology and compliance with <br />ongoing stringent regulatory requirements; therefore, the construction schedule used in this analysis <br />represents a “worst-case” analysis scenario. In order to account for the construction emissions in <br />assessing the project ’s GHG impacts, the total emissions generated during construction were amortized <br />based on the life of the development (residential—50 years) and added to the operational emissions. As <br />shown in Table 7, construction of the project is estimated to generate approximately 1,011 MT CO2e. The <br />amortized emissions from construction of 20.2 MT CO2e were added to the operational emissions to <br />determine the total emissions of the project. These total project emissions were compared to the <br />applicable BAAQMD significance threshold standard of 1,100 MT CO2e per year. <br />Table 7: Unmitigated Construction Greenhouse Gas Emissions <br />Construction Phases Total Emissions (MT CO2e/year) <br />2018 <br />Site Preparation 36.4 <br />Grading 131.8 <br />Building Construction (2018) 1.9 <br />Total 2018 Construction Emissions 170.1 <br />2019 <br />Building Construction (2019) 477.2 <br />Total 2019 Construction Emissions 477.2 <br />2020 <br />Building Construction (2020) 320.3 <br />Paving 37.2 <br />Architectural Coating 6.3 <br />Total 2020 Construction Emissions 363.8 <br />Total Construction Emissions 1,011.1 <br />Construction Emissions Amortized Over <br />the Life of the Project (50 years) <br />20.2 <br />Note: <br />Calculations use unrounded numbers. <br />Source: CalEEMod <br /> <br />Operation <br />Operational or long-term emissions occur over the life of the project.
