and growth impacts beyond those identified planning programs and/or local general plans. in regional The proposed proj ect is consistent with the General Plan. Implementation of the proposed project would not exceed the population and traffic growth proj ections in the General Plan. The proposed project would be considered to be consistent with the regional and local growth projections and would not be in conflict with the air quality objectives established in the South Coast Air Quality Management Plan. B. Violate any stationary source air quality standard or contribute to an existing or proposed air quality violation? Less Than Significant Impact As mentioned previously, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) regulates air quality in the South Coast Air Basin. The South Coast Air Basin is currently a non-attainment area for carbon monoxide, ozone, particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide. The SCAQMD considers an air quality impact to be significant if it exceeds the thresholds identified below.

A relatively minor amount of gaseous emissions would also occur from natural gas and electricity usage. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan. The long-term operational 4 31~1
