Final Traffic Study <br />Following the completion of the 45 -day EIR review period, IBI Group will assist PlaceWorks in reviewing and responding <br />to public and agency comments received on the Draft EIR. IBI Group has assumed up to five hours for preparing <br />responses to comments. IBI Group will also incorporate any updates, additions, or refinements to the traffic study for <br />inclusion in the Final EIR. <br />Deliverable(s). <br />— 5 hard -copy administrative drafts of the Traffic Impact Analysis Technical Report <br />— 1 hard -copy final draft (and electronic version) <br />— 1 electronic file, as noted in the RFP, of final public technical report. GIS shapefiles for all mapping to be <br />included as applicable <br />1.2 Air Quality/GHG Analysis <br />PlaceWorks will prepare an air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions analysis for the City of Santa Ana General <br />Plan Update and EIR. The analysis will be based on the current methodology of the South Coast Air Quality <br />Management District (SCAQMD) for projects in the South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB). The results of the technical analyses <br />described belowwill be compiled into the EIR, and model outputs will be included as an appendix. <br />Communitywide Emissions Inventories and Forecasts (Existing and General Plan Buildout) <br />PlaceWorks' will estimate existing and future community -wide criteria air pollutant and GHG emissions associated with <br />the proposed General Plan Update. The prepared inventory will be consistent with ICLEI's U.S. Community Protocol for <br />Accounting and Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (2012) for the following sectors. <br />• On -Road Transportation. Buildout of the General Plan would generate criteria air pollutant and GHG emissions from <br />an anticipated increase in trips and VMT by passenger vehicles and trucks. VMT will be modeled using the California <br />Air Resources Board's (CARB) latest emissions factor model (EMFAC) based on data provided by IBI Group. <br />• Energy. Buildings in the City consume electricity and natural gas. -Activity data provided by Southern California Edison <br />(SCE) and the Southern California Gas Company (SoCal Gas) will be used to compile the criteria air pollutant and <br />GHG emissions inventory. GHG emissions from electricity use will be based on the latest carbon intensity available <br />from SCE. <br />• Water Use/WastewaterGeneration. Electricity is used to transport and treat water for indoor and outdoor purposes. <br />Additionally, treatment of wastewater generates fugitive GHG emissions. GHG emissions from this sector will be <br />based on data available from the Santa Ana Water Utility (e.g., urban water management plan). <br />• Solid Waste Disposal. Disposal of municipal solid waste generates indirect GHG emissions from decomposition of <br />organic materials. This sector will be based on data available from CalRecycle for the City of Santa Ana and modeled <br />using CARB's latest landfill gas model. <br />• Other Applicable Sources. Use of off-road equipment in the City, such as in construction activities, also generates <br />criteria air pollutant and GHG emission. Potential regional localized air quality impacts from construction activities <br />associated with implementation of the General Plan will be described qualitatively. <br />An emissions inventory will be generated from the existing inventory of land uses on the ground and future buildout <br />statistics generated for the proposed land use plan at the General Plan Horizon year. PlaceWorks will use the recent <br />emissions inventory compiled for the Climate Action Plan (CAP) to obtain activity data for the baseline emissions <br />inventory year, to the extent practicable. Because activity data may be outdated for the CEQA baseline, PlaceWorks will <br />October 17, 2018 Page 4 <br />25F-15 <br />
