The <br />relocation program, as defined in the mitigation measures in the Final EIR, was described <br />above under "Land Use." <br /> <br />Although these measures will substantially lessen the impact of the removal o[ <br />190 housing units and the relocation of the existing tenants, these impacts cannot be <br />reduced to a level of insignificance. <br /> <br />AIR QUALITY <br /> <br />S!gnificant Effect <br /> <br />Implementation of the proposed project would result in the generation of regional air <br />pollutant emissions that would contribute incrementally to the production of ozone in the <br />South Coast Air Basin. As the existing ozone levels at the Anaheim monitoring station~ <br />the station closest to the project site, already exceed state and federal ozone levels, the <br />incremental contribution of this project to regional ozone levels is significant. <br /> <br />Finding <br /> <br />Finding <br /> <br />Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the <br />project which avoid or substantiaUy lessen the significant environmental <br />effect identified in the Final EIR. <br /> <br />Facts in Support of the Finding <br /> <br />The following mitigation measures have been incorporated in the proposed project to <br />reduce the long term mobile air quality emissions generated by traffic associated with <br />the project: <br /> <br />The Register currently has a comprehensive Regional Air Quality AQMD <br />Regulation XV, Commuter Trip Reduction Program in place at the facility. The <br />existing program will be expanded to include the additional employees [rom the <br />proposed facility expansion. <br /> <br />The Register will implement a City mandated Transportation Demand Program as <br />described below. <br /> <br />Even with these mitigation measures, the contribution of the project to long term <br />regional air quality emissions cannot be mitigated to a level of insignificance. <br /> <br />lg <br /> <br /> <br />
