Responses to Environmental Checklist For CEQA Compliance MM AQ-3 During grading, the construction disturbance area shall be kept as small as possible. MM AQ-4 Prior to issuance of any grading permit wind barriers shall be installed along the perimeter of the site and/or around areas being graded. Mitigation measure MM AQ-5 would require all construction equipment be maintained in proper tune and be turned off when not in use to reduce vehicular emissions. MM AQ-5 During construction, operators of any gas or diesel fueled equipment, including vehicles, shall be encouraged to turn off equipment if not in use or left idle for more than five minutes. Equipment engines shall be maintained in good condition and in proper tune according to manufacturer's specifications. Mitigation measure MM AQ-6 would require the use of low-volatile-organic-compound (VOC) paints on all exterior surfaces at the proposed project site. MM AQ-6 The Applicant shall require by contract specifications that the architectural coating (paint and primer) products used would have aloes-VOC rating. Contract specifications shall be included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the City prior to issuance of a building permit. Finally, objectionable odors are a localized phenomenon and are generally confined to the vicinity of the emitter of the odor. The proposed project is an office land use and would not generate significant long- term operational odors. Construction activities do not usually emit offensive odors. Although construction activities occurring in association with the proposed project could generate airborne odors associated with the operation of construction vehicles (i.e., diesel exhaust) and the application of interior and exterior architectural coatings, these emissions would be temporary in nature, would generally be restricted to the immediate vicinity of the construction site and activity, and would not affect a substantial number of people. Compliance with City of Santa Ana required maintenance and waste management practices would reduce the potential for objectionable odors. The operation of the proposed project would be required to comply with SCAQMD Rule 402 with regard to odors. In general, operational activities associated with land uses similar to the proposed project do not ordinarily emit offensive odors and as such, this impact would be considered less than significant. IV. Biological Resources A. Adversely impact, either directly or through habitat modifications, any endangered, rare or threatened species, as listed on Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (section 670.2 or 670.5) or in the Title 50, code of Federal Regulations (section 17.11 or 17.12)?

D. Adversely impact federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) either individually or in combination with the known or probable impacts of other activities through direct removal, filling hydrological interruption, or other means? 75A-40
