Sequoia Ecological Consulting, Inc. CalVTP Project-Specific Analysis and Addendum Augustin Bernal Community Park Fuel Reduction November 2025 4-78 • MM NOI-1: Avoid Conflicts with Local Noise Ordinances During Prescribed Herbivory Prior to commencing prescribed herbivory treatments, the City would post signs containing contact information, including a daytime telephone number, of the project representative, who may be contacted regarding noise complaints. The City would take into consideration future use of herbivory treatments in areas that receive noise complaints and may adjust the limits of treatment areas to be further from sensitive receptors. Noise-generating treatments would be within the Alameda County and the City construction noise requirements. The Alameda County noise ordinance (§ 6.60.120) identifies that construction noise is permitted between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekends. The City noise ordinance (§ 9.04.100) identifies that construction noise is exempt between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. daily, except Sunday and holidays, when the exemption shall apply between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Noise-generating treatments would comply with the local regulations outlined in Table 11-5 of the City of Pleasanton General Plan (City of Pleasanton 2009) and Figure 2 of the Alameda County General Plan (Alameda County 1994), and, therefore, all work would be within the allowable limits, per SPR AD-3. Additional SPRs applicable to the proposed project include NOI-1, NOI-2, NOI-3, NOI-4, NOI-5, and NOI-6. SPRs NOI-1 through NOI-6 would require that heavy equipment be used only during daytime hours, all equipment be properly maintained, engine shrouds be closed during mechanical equipment operation and idle time be restricted to 5 minutes, all staging areas be placed away from noise sensitive land types, and any noise sensitive receptors be notified ahead of work to ensure impacts to ambient noise levels would be less than significant. The inclusion of approximately 93 acres of land that is outside the CalVTP treatable landscape in the proposed treatment area constitutes a change to the geographic extent presented in the PEIR. The northernmost portion of the Project is further from the treatable landscape than other portions of the Project; however, the added acreage would not expand the total annual acreage of 250,000 acres per year proposed for treatment under the PEIR. The existing environmental conditions present in the areas outside the treatable landscape are essentially the same as those within the treatable landscape because they would be subject to the same noise ordinances and would have similar noise-sensitive receptors. Therefore, the noise impact is also the same, as described above. This determination is consistent with the PEIR and would not constitute a substantially more severe significant impact than what was covered in the PEIR. 4.12.1.2. Impact NOI-2 Project treatment activities would require large trucks to haul equipment, crews, and livestock to the project site. While trucks would pass residential sensitive receptors, it is not anticipated that project traffic would result in a substantial increase in truck-generated noise along local roads. These large trucks have
