Comment noted. <br /> Response to Comment AQMD-8 <br /> This comment asks the Cit<r to encourage construction contractors to apply for funding that would <br /> enable owners of eligible fleets to purchase low-emission heavy-duty engine technologies to achieve near- <br /> term reduction of NOX emissions from in-use, off-road diesel vehicles. These fleet upgrades are in <br /> furtherance of the State "Surplus Off-road Opt-in for NOk" (SOON) provision of a recently adopted <br /> California ARB regulation, which sets more-stringent NOX emission targets for in-use, off-road diesel <br /> vehicles. In 2008, the AQMD Board approved setting aside up to X120 million over a four year period <br /> for this purpose called the "SOON" Program.. The current funding period closed June 4, 2010. This EIR <br /> <br /> is both a programmatic level document for the Transit Zoning Code, as well as a project specific analysis <br /> for the Development Project for the Redevelopment Agency parcels. With both the current funding <br /> cycle for the SOON Program having closed and therefore not available for the near-term Development <br /> Project, and the unknown status of future funding for projects that have not yet been identified, it is not <br /> feasible to add specific mitigation measures relating to SOON Program funding. The City notes the <br /> comment and will forward this to the decision-makers. <br /> 12-10 City of Santa Ana Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) EIR <br /> <br />
