Chapter 12 Responses to Comments Received Since Publication of the t=tnal EIR <br /> <br /> Impact 4.2-6 states that operation of the proposed project would result in a significant and unavoidable <br /> air qualit~r impact because it would result in emissions of criteria pollutants in excess of the South Coast <br /> <br /> rlir Quality- Management District Thresholds for those pollutants. 1-~lthough the discussion of <br /> <br /> Impact 4.2-6 on Draft EIR pages 4.2-33 and 4.2-37 inadvertently omits PM, ~ from the list of criteria <br /> <br /> pollutants, Table 4.2-8 on page 4.2-34 clearly identifies PMz ~ as one of the criteria pollutants that would <br /> <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 ~ and the applicable SCAQi~~ Threshold, clearly showing that the daily <br /> operational emissions of PM,; will exceed the SCAQMD Threshold. <br /> <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 SCAQ~VID <br /> thresholds of significance for €e~r~five criteria pollutants I'Mz.S~VOC, NOx, CO, and P1Vho) 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, PM, ~ 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 ~9.01~ <br /> <br /> The EIR satisfies all CEQA requirements regarding the description of the proposed project. A master <br /> <br /> response clarifying the scope and description of the proposed project is included in Final EIR <br /> Chapter 10, Section 10.2. <br /> <br /> City of Santa Ana Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) EIR 12-41 <br /> <br />
