<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Bat Nha Buddhist Meditation Center MND I City of Santa Ana Planning Division <br /> <br /> <br /> Quality Standards, and SCAQMD Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). The existing conditions will <br /> describe ambient air quality data from the Anaheim-Pampas Lane ambient air monitoring station. The local <br /> air quality conditions will be compared to national and state ambient air quality standards. <br /> • Demolition and Construction-Period Mass Emissions. The demolition and construction emissions <br /> inventory will include combustion emissions related to equipment operation; fugitive dust emissions related <br /> to demolition, site preparation and earthmoving activities; mobile (tailpipe) emissions related to construction <br /> worker and haul truck trips; and reactive organic compound emissions related architectural coatings <br /> application and asphalt pavement. The emissions inventory will be compiled on a daily basis and compared <br /> to SCAQMD regional and localized emissions thresholds to determine significance. <br /> • Operations-Period Mass Emissions Analysis. The operations emissions inventory will include mobile <br /> source emissions related to project-generated traffic (as identified by the traffic impact study), as well as <br /> stationary source emissions related to energy demand (i.e., electricity consumption). Emissions will be <br /> compiled using the CaIEEMod land use emissions model and compared to applicable SCAQMD daily <br /> emissions thresholds to determine significance. <br /> IN Localized Carbon Monoxide Concentration Analysis. Using the California Department of Transportation <br /> CO Protocol, this analysis will evaluate the degree to which project-related traffic volumes have the potential <br /> to effect local carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations. Potential impacts will be evaluated utilizing the <br /> CALINE4 dispersion model and EMFAC 2011 emissions factors at up to eight intersection locations. <br /> ® Potential for Health Risk Impacts. Impacts related to toxic air contaminant emissions during short-term <br /> construction and long-term operations will be evaluated qualitatively. <br /> Climate Change/GHG Emissions. Project-related GHG emissions will be estimated using the CalEEMod <br /> software program. ICF will analyze the project's direct GHG emissions related to construction activities and <br /> project-related trips, as well as indirect GHG emissions associated with electricity usage. Significance <br /> criteria will be developed based on current guidance from CARB, OPR and SCAQMD. <br /> * Consistency with AQMP. The analysis will evaluate the project's consistency with the SCAQMD's 2007 <br /> AQMP in accordance with the procedures set forth by the SCAQMD. <br /> Noise Impact Study <br /> ICF will conduct a noise analysis for the proposed project in accordance with CEQA requirements to evaluate <br /> potential impacts to existing and future noise-sensitive land uses. Our local noise engineer is certified by the <br /> INCE and has conducted numerous analyses for projects involving re-development and school projects that are <br /> adjacent to residential and sensitive (church/school) uses. <br /> Existing residences, churches and a preschool/daycare are located immediately adjacent to the project site, <br /> which could be impacted by noise from project demolition, construction and operation. Additionally, on-site <br /> temple and meditation uses adjacent to Sullivan Street are also considered to be noise-sensitive and could be <br /> impacted by project traffic. <br /> To identify the existing ambient noise environment in the project area, up to four short-term (up to 1 hour in <br /> duration) ambient noise measurements will be conducted at noise-sensitive locations in and around the project <br /> site. The noise measurements will be conducted using equipment and methods as proscribed by the American <br /> National Standard Institute and consistent with the standards of the practice for community noise analysis. <br /> Using the noise measurements as a baseline, potential construction noise impacts on nearby noise-sensitive <br /> land uses will be evaluated based on construction equipment data to be provided by the project applicant and <br /> noise modeling methods developed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Long-term (operational) <br /> noise effects from the project will also be addressed and will include evaluation of on-site activity noise levels <br /> and the ability of the noise to effect surrounding uses. Using traffic data provided by the project traffic <br /> consultant, traffic noise along roadways surrounding the project site will be modeled (using FHWA Traffic Noise <br /> Model version 2.5) for existing, future and future-with-project conditions. <br /> Page 10 <br /> 25A-12 <br />
