Summary of 2018 Spotorno Ranch Air Quality Analysis <br />March 22, 2021 <br />Page 14 <br /> <br />• Motor Vehicles: These emissions refer to GHG emissions contained in the exhaust from the cars <br />and trucks that would travel to and from the project site. <br />• Natural Gas: These emissions refer to the GHG emissions that occur when natural gas is burned <br />on the project site. Natural gas uses could include heating water, space heating, dryers, stoves, or <br />other uses. <br />• Indirect Electricity: These emissions refer to those generated by off-site power plants to supply <br />electricity required for the project. <br />• Water Transport: These emissions refer to those generated by the electricity required to transport <br />and treat the water to be used on the project site. <br />• Waste: These emissions refer to the GHG emissions produced by decomposing waste generated <br />by the project. <br /> <br />The analysis quantified annual emissions from the project for comparison to BAAQMD’s threshold of <br />1,100 MT CO2e per year. Operational GHG emissions by source are shown in Table 8. Total annual <br />operational emissions were estimated at approximately 564 MT CO2e assuming full buildout in the year <br />2020. As previously indicated, the analysis includes construction emissions amortized over the life of the <br />project. The project would generate approximately 584 MT CO2e per year with the addition of amortized <br />construction emissions. <br />Table 8: Operational Greenhouse Gas Emissions (2020) <br />Emission Source <br />Project Total MT CO 2e <br />per year <br />Area 2 <br />Energy 132 <br />Mobile (Vehicles) 398 <br />Waste 24 <br />Water 8 <br />Total Project Operational Emissions 564 <br />Annualized Construction Emissions 20 <br />Total Project Emissions 584 <br />BAAQMD Threshold 1,100 <br />Does project exceed threshold?
