<br />currently a non-attainment area for carbon monoxide, ozone, <br />and particulate matter. The SCAQMD considers an air quality <br />impact to be significant if it exceeds the thresholds <br />identified in Table AQ-1. <br /> Table AQ-l <br /> EMISSION THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE <br /> Project <br /> Pollutant Construction Tons/ Operations <br /> Pounds/Day Quarter Pounds/Day <br />Carbon Monoxide 550 24.75 550 <br />Reactive Organic <br /> Compounds 75 2.5 55 <br />Nitrogen Oxides 100 2.5 55 <br /> Particulate <br /> Matter 150 6.75 150 <br />Long-term Operational Air Quality Impacts <br />The primary source of long-term operational emissions <br />associated with the proposed project would be generated by <br />vehicle travel to and from the project site. A relatively <br />minor amount of gaseous emissions would also occur from <br />natural gas and electricity usage. Table AQ-2 identifies <br />the long-term operational emissions of the proposed <br />project. As shown in Table AQ-2 long term operational <br />emissions generated by the proposed project would not <br />exceed the SCAQMD Thresholds and therefore less than <br />significant long-term operational impacts would occur. <br /> Table AQ-2 <br /> Operational Emissions <br /> RaG NOX CO PmlO SOX <br />Mobile 2.08 0.06 21. 5 0.03 0.00 <br />Electrical Usage 0.00 0.10 .02 0.00 0.00 <br />Natural Gas Usage 0.00 0.03 0.01 0.00 0.01 <br />Total 2.08 0.19 21. 8 0.03 0.01 <br />SCAQMD Threshold 55 55 550 150 150 <br />Significant Impact No No No No No <br />Source: SCAQMD CEQA Handbook <br />Short-term constructed Related Air Quality Impacts <br />Construction operations associated with the proposed <br />project would result in short-term increases in particulate <br />6 758-21 <br />
