The impact is considered less than significant. No further study <br />is required and no mitigation measures are necessary. <br />B. Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or <br />projected air quality violation? <br />Less than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporation. The project is <br />within the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District <br />(SCAQMD). The SCAQMD has developed thresholds of significance for both <br />regional and localized air quality impacts, with which the project must comply. <br />Construction was assumed to begin in 2008 and take 12 months to construct the <br />project in one phase. A summary of the construction emissions generated by the <br />project, under unmitigated and mitigated scenarios, compared to the SCAQMD's <br />regional significance thresholds are presented in the table below. <br />Table 1 -Daily Construction Emissions <br />Regional Significance <br /> VOC NOX CO SOX PMIO PMzs <br /> (Ibs/da) (Ibs/da) (lbs/da) (lbs/da) (lbs/da) (lbs/da ) <br />SCAQMD <br /> <br />Threshold 75 100 550 150 150 55 <br />Unmiti ated Dail Construction Emissions - Re Tonal Si nificance <br />Gradin 2.54 29.27 11.70 0.01 10.69 3.12 <br />Building 26.24 33.32 28.34 0 <br />05 10.69 3 <br />12 <br />Construction . . <br />Maximum 26.24 33.32 28.34 0.05 10.69 3.12 <br />Exceed No No No No No No <br />Threshold? <br />Miti ated Dail Construction Emissions - Re Tonal Si ni~cance <br />Gradin 2.54 29.27 11.70 0.01 3.43 1.61 <br />Building 26.24 33.32 28.34 0 <br />05 2 <br />26 2 <br />01 <br />Construction . . . <br />Maximum 26.24 33.32 28.34 0.05 3.43 2.01 <br />Exceed <br /> No No No No No No <br />Threshold? <br />Source: Air Quali Anal sis Technical Memorandum, URS Co oration. Febru 12, 2008. <br />Maximum short-term daily emissions with specified mitigation measures are 26.24 lbs <br />for VOC, 33.321bs for NOx, 28.34 lbs for CO, 0.05 lbs for S02, 3.43 lbs for PMIO, and <br />2.01 lbs for PM2.5, which are below all applicable SCAQMD regional significance <br />thresholds. <br />In addition to the regional analysis, the project's emissions and impacts on a localized <br />scale were also analyzed. The maximum disturbance area for the proposed project is <br />approximately 2 acres per day, therefore the SCAQMD localized thresholds fora 2-acre <br />project was utilized. The nearest sensitive receptors to the project site are residences <br />adjacent to the project site, to the west, north, and south, therefore the thresholds for a <br />distance of 25 meters were used. This represents the worst-case analysis of the project's <br />localized impacts. <br />38 <br />Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration July 2008 <br />Harbor Medical and Retail Center 75/'"'~-7 <br />
