The mitigation <br />measures require that the air emission requirements "shall' be specified in the construction contracts. <br />These contracts will be reviewed by the City staff prior to the issuance of grading permits. The <br />construction contracts will also be approved by the City of Santa Ana. Refer to Chapter 11 (Mitigation <br />Monitoring and Reporting Program). <br />Response to Comment "2:04ff <br />The commenter states that "MM2.2 -2 through -6 are unenforceable because they only say what the <br />contractor "should" do.

The City continuously works with Southern <br />California Edison to ensure that all streetlights are equipped with the most energy efficient and <br />cost effective technology. Most recently the City and Southern California Edison have been <br />exploring the possibility of replacing streetlights with LED technology. In order to determine if <br />this technology can be successfully deployed citywide Southern California Edison has <br />conducted tests on the LED technology. These tests have found that energy savings and <br />equipment longevity are not predictable. The City is also independently testing limited areas <br />City of Santa Ana Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) EIR 12 -37 <br />
