PUD-65 Environmental Checklist <br />b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, ~ ~ ~ ~X <br />or a Williamson Act contract? <br />c) Involve other changes in the existing environment ~ ~ ~ ~X <br />which, due to their location or nature, could result <br />in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural <br />use? <br />Discussion <br />a-c) Agriculture Resource impacts are not applicable to this project related to the California <br />Department of Conservation land use designations. Therefore, this would be no-impact. <br />2. AIR QUALITY <br />Environmental Setting <br />The Bay Area has remained one of the cleanest of the five major urban California air basins in <br />recent years however, there are still several days annually when air pollution exceeds the federal <br />and state air quality standards. These standards, set at different concentrations for each of the <br />major air pollutants have been developed to protect public health. <br />The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) regulates air quality in the Bay <br />Area Region through its permit authority over most stationary emission sources and through its <br />planning and review activities. The BAAQMD is the main permitting agency for air pollutant <br />sources. <br />Standards of Significance <br />For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if the proposed <br />project would: <br />Result in pollution emission levels above those established by BAAQMD in either short <br />term (construction related) or long term (traffic). <br />9 <br />
