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 emissions generated by the proposed project are consistent with the alr pollutant emission projections within the General Plan Land Use Element EIR. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in additional air pollutant emissions that would exceed air pollutant emission projections evaluated within the General Plan Land Use Element EIR. Short-term constructed Related Air Quality Impacts Construction operations associated with the proposed project could potentially result in short-term increases in particulate mater, and to a lesser degree increases in carbon monoxide and ozone. Peak day construction emissions for most pollutants arising from construction of the proposed project would occur during the grading and excavation phases. Using the South Coast Air Quality Management District CEQA Air Quality Handbook as a guideline, the threshold for potentially significant short-term air quality impacts would involve the grading of 1,309,000 square feet of area. Assuming grading of the entire project site, approximately 6,000 square feet of area would be graded. The proposed gradlng would be conslderably less than the threshold of significance established by the CEQA Air Quality Handbook. To minimize dust impacts during construction, the proposed proj ect would be required to comply with SCAQMD Fugi ti ve Dust Rule 403 to suppress dust generated by construction operations. 5 31A-29
