Mc Donald's at Santa Clara Avenue Project "hotspot". Thus, no dispersion modeling is included in this SOW for CO analysis. Project related emissions of construction phase toxic air contaminants (TACs) and odors will also be addressed qualitatively. Additionally, the analysis will include an evaluation of Project conformity with the Air Quality Management Plan for the South Coast Air Basin. Psomas will prepare a GHG emissions analysis. The quantitative Project analysis will use the data and scenarios developed for the air quality analysis; assumptions for the Project's anticipated electricity, natural gas, and water usage; proposed Project features that would conserve energy and water; sustainability features; and other data relative to GHG emissions. Psomas will calculate construction and operational GHG emissions concurrently with the air quality emissions using CalEEMod. Psomas will compare the change in GHG emissions with criteria that have been recommended by the SCAQMD or a threshold determined by coordination with City staff. Psomas will also determine whether implementation of the Project would conflict with applicable State, regional, and the City's Climate Action Plan, Santa Ana Green policies, or regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing air quality and GHG emissions. The findings will be provided as Air Quality and.Greenhouse Gas Emissions sections in the IS/MND, and model results will be included as appendices in the IS/MND. Energy Psomas will develop an Energy Analysis for the Project, which includes a discussion regulatory setting, energy demands, Project energy efficiency measures, impact assessment, and any necessary mitigation measures. The regulatory setting will include a discussion of the local, State, and federal policies and regulations that apply to the Project. The discussion of Project related energy demands includes quantification of anticipated energy consumption from the construction and operations phases. Construction phase energy demand is due to diesel and gasoline consumption used during the development of the Project. The operations phase of the Project would consume energy related to lighting and heating needs as well as vehicle trips. Potential impacts will be assessed relative to Project consistencywith the City of Santa Ana's energy efficiency and conservation goals and State of California Energy Efficiency Standards. An Energy section in the 1S/MND will be developed with the findings of the energy analysis and quantification sheets provided as appendix to the 1S/MND. Noise Psomas will conduct noise and vibration analyses to evaluate potential impacts attributable to the Project. Psomas will visit the Project siteto identify existing noise sources and to measure existing noise levels at the Project site boundaries. Four short-term noise measures (20-minute measurements) will be taken at the Project boundaries. These measurements will document noise levels at the Project site from noise sources such as traffic along East Santa Clara Avenue, North Tustin Avenue, and noise sources from nearby commercial and residential uses. Psomas will analyze temporary noise and vibration impacts from construction activities and will also review the Project plans, design, and traffic impact analyses to evaluate operational noise impacts to offsite sensitive receptors. The Project is anticipated to involve noise sources, which include drive - through activities, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) units, and parking lot activities. The analysis will compare noise impacts with the standards in the City's General Plan and Noise Ordinance. Increases in traffic noise on local roadways will also be quantified using the Federal Highway Administrations RD-77-108 traffic noise model. If mitigation measures are required to minimize noise and vibration impacts, recommend measures will be coordinated with the City and Applicant. The findings will be summarized in the IS/MND and supporting calculations will be included as appendix in the IS/MND. R:W1op sds Clty of Santa Ma%MoDonaltl ISMNO-W0123dooz A-4 Cast Estimate
