However, <br />within the boundary of the project area, the air quality conditions and types of sensitive receptors present <br />in the areas outside the treatable landscape are essentially the same as those within, or adjacent to, the <br />treatable landscape; therefore, the air quality impact is also the same, as described above. This <br />determination is consistent with the PEIR and would not constitute a substantially more severe significant <br />impact than what was covered in the PEIR. <br />4.3.1.6. Impact AQ-6 <br />Prescribed burning during initial and maintenance treatments could expose people to objectionable odors. <br />The PEIR found the impact due to odors from prescribed burning to be potentially significant due to their <br />intensity, duration, proximity to sensitive receptors, and likelihood of sustained exposure impacting nearby <br />communities. The duration and parameters of the prescribed burn treatment and the exposure potential <br />of the Project are consistent with the activities addressed in the PEIR. Therefore, the resultant potential <br />for exposure to objectionable odors from smoke associated with the Project is also within the scope of <br />impacts covered in the PEIR. SPRs that are applicable to this treatment project are AD-4, AQ-1, AQ-2, AQ- <br />3, and AQ-6. All feasible measures to prevent and minimize smoke odors, as well as exposure to smoke <br />odors, are included in SPRs; however, this impact would remain significant and unavoidable, as explained <br />in the PEIR. <br />The inclusion of approximately 93 acres of land that is outside the CalVTP treatable landscape in the <br />proposed treatment area constitutes a change to the geographic extent presented in the PEIR. However, <br />within the boundary of the project area, the air quality conditions present and types of sensitive receptors <br />in the areas outside the treatable landscape are essentially the same as those within, or adjacent to, the <br />treatable landscape; therefore, the air quality impact is also the same, as described above. This <br />determination is consistent with the PEIR and would not constitute a substantially more severe significant <br />impact than what was covered in the PEIR. <br />4.3.1.7. New Air Quality Impacts <br />The proposed treatments are consistent with the treatment types and activities covered in the CalVTP <br />PEIR. The project proponent has considered the site-specific characteristics of the proposed treatments <br />and determined they are consistent with the applicable regulatory and environmental conditions <br />presented in the CalVTP PEIR (refer to Sections 3.4.1, Regulatory Setting, and 3.4.2, Environmental Setting, <br />in Volume II of the Final PEIR).
