Sequoia Ecological Consulting, Inc. CalVTP Project-Specific Analysis and Addendum Augustin Bernal Community Park Fuel Reduction November 2025 4-14 applicable to this treatment are HAZ-1, NOI-4, and NOI-5, which would require equipment maintenance, limiting vehicle idling time to 5 minutes, and notification of off-site sensitive receptors. 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. However, within the boundary of the project area, the air quality conditions and types of sensitive receptors present in the areas outside the treatable landscape are essentially the same as those within, or adjacent to, the treatable landscape; therefore, the air quality 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. 4.3.1.6. Impact AQ-6 Prescribed burning during initial and maintenance treatments could expose people to objectionable odors. The PEIR found the impact due to odors from prescribed burning to be potentially significant due to their intensity, duration, proximity to sensitive receptors, and likelihood of sustained exposure impacting nearby communities. The duration and parameters of the prescribed burn treatment and the exposure potential of the Project are consistent with the activities addressed in the PEIR. Therefore, the resultant potential for exposure to objectionable odors from smoke associated with the Project is also within the scope of impacts covered in the PEIR. SPRs that are applicable to this treatment project are AD-4, AQ-1, AQ-2, AQ- 3, and AQ-6. All feasible measures to prevent and minimize smoke odors, as well as exposure to smoke odors, are included in SPRs; however, this impact would remain significant and unavoidable, as explained in the PEIR. 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. However, within the boundary of the project area, the air quality conditions present and types of sensitive receptors in the areas outside the treatable landscape are essentially the same as those within, or adjacent to, the treatable landscape; therefore, the air quality 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. 4.3.1.7. New Air Quality Impacts The proposed treatments are consistent with the treatment types and activities covered in the CalVTP PEIR. The project proponent has considered the site-specific characteristics of the proposed treatments and determined they are consistent with the applicable regulatory and environmental conditions presented in the CalVTP PEIR (refer to Sections 3.4.1, Regulatory Setting, and 3.4.2, Environmental Setting, in Volume II of the Final PEIR).
