2. METHODOLOGY i SCOPE OF WORK CPS coordinates for the project Times and dates for which the City would like to see shadows generated Air Quality Tin Cheung, a Senior Environmental Scientist, is a specialist in the preparation of air Quality and noise studies for the firm. He will prepare an air Quality study for the proposed project. The results, findings and recommendations will be incorporated into the EIR, and the study will be included in its entirety as an appendix. The proposed project will have the potential to generate air pollution from the demolition, construction, and operational phases. Demolition could generate air Quality impacts if any of the buildings contain asbestos. If asbestos is present, hazardous materials procedures are reQuired in order to reduce potential impacts. The construction phase will generate air pollutants from construction vehicles, including fugitive dust and pollutants that contribute to smog. The operational phase will include emissions from project -related vehicles and from energy consumption by the proposed residences. The following information will be included in the EIR: • Describe the environmental setting, which will include local meteorology and air pollution monitoring data provided by the California Air Resources Board. • Use computer modeling to Quantify project -related construction emissions using procedures approved by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). • Conduct an inventory of regional emissions for the project using the SCAQMD's approved URBEMIS2002 computer model. This model will be used to calculate the mobile and stationary sources of emissions that occur during the operational phase of the project. • Evaluate the potential for any microscale air pollution "hot spot" formation at the four most congested project area intersections, using the CALINE4 line source dispersion model. • 'Discuss project consistency with the Air, Quality Management Plan in terms of land use planning consistency. • Identify any potentially applicable mitigation measures, including any relevant transportation control measures incorporated into the South Coast Air Basin portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). tnvironmental Impact Report for the Village Green Mixed Use Residential Community THE PLANNING CENTER I Page 2-7
