Chapter 12 Responses to Comments Received Since Publication of the Final EIR <br />Impact 4.2 -6 states that operation of the proposed project would result in a significant and unavoidable <br />air quality impact because it would result in emissions of criteria pollutants in excess of the South Coast <br />Air Quality Management District Thresholds for those pollutants. Although the discussion of <br />Impact 4.2 -6 on Draft EIR pages 4.2 -33 and 4.2 -37 inadvertently omits PMz 5 from the list of criteria <br />pollutants, Table 4.2 -8 on page 4.2 -34 clearly identifies PMz 5 as one of the criteria pollutants that would <br />result in a significant air quality impact. Table 4.2 -8 identifies the amount of the proposed project's daily <br />operational emissions of PMz 5 and the applicable SCAQMD Threshold, clearly showing that the daily <br />operational emissions of PM25 will exceed the SCAQMD Threshold. <br />The Final EIR was also revised to clarify this error: <br />Primarily due to the increase in residential uses under the Transit Zoning Code, mobile source <br />(vehicular) emissions associated with the additional development would exceed SCAQMD <br />thresholds of significance for €efive criteria pollutants I'Mzs�VOC, NOx, CO, and PM1o) for <br />which the air basin is in non - attainment. <br />(Final EIR, p. 9 -3; double - underline indicates text additions from Draft EIR, strikeout indicates <br />deletions from Draft EIR.) <br />Finally, the Final EIR was revised to include PM, in the list of criteria pollutants that would contribute <br />to a cumulatively considerable net increase of criteria pollutants for which the region is in non- <br />attainment. (Final EIR, p. 9 -3.) Again, PM25 was included in the data and analysis of construction, <br />operation, and cumulative project impacts as evidenced in the data tables, but was inadvertently omitted <br />from the list of criteria pollutants in the textual discussion. (Draft EIR, section 4.2.3.) <br />Response to Comment "9.01ff <br />The EIR satisfies all CEQA requirements regarding the description of the proposed project.
