City of Santa Ana <br />Environmental Checklist <br />Because significant impacts would not occur at any intersections located adjacent to sensitive <br />receptors, no significant impacts are anticipated to occur at any other locations in the study area <br />because the conditions yielding CO hotspots would not be worse than those occurring at the <br />analyzed intersections. Consequently, the sensitive receptors that are included in this analysis <br />would not be significantly affected by CO emissions generated by the net increase in traffic that <br />would occur under the project. Because the project does not cause an exceedance, or exacerbate an <br />existing exceedance of an ambient air quality standard, the project's localized operational air quality <br />impacts would be less than significant. No mitigation measures are necessary, <br />With respect to the project's onsite mass emissions, Table 3-9 shows that onsite operations-period <br />emissions would be below SCAQMD's localized significance thresholds. Impacts from emissions of <br />these criteria pollutants would be less than significant, No mitigation measures are necessary. <br />Table 3.9.

These LSTs are based on the site location SEA, distance <br />to the nearest sensitive-receptor location from the project site (25 meters), and the project area (2 <br />acres). <br />Source: ICF 2012. <br />Toxic Air Contaminants <br />SCAQMD recommends that health risk assessments be conducted for substantial sources of diesel <br />particulate emissions (e.g., truck stops and warehouse distribution facilities) and has provided <br />guidance for analyzing mobile source diesel emissions. In addition, typical sources of acutely and <br />chronically hazardous TACs include industrial manufacturing processes, automotive repair facilities, <br />and dry cleaning facilities. Since the proposed project would not contain such uses, the proposed <br />project does not warrant a health risk assessment. Potential project-generated air toxic impacts on <br />surrounding land uses would be less than significant. No mitigation measures are necessary. <br />e. Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? <br />Less-than-Significant Impact According to the SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Handbook, land uses <br />associated with odor complaints typically include agricultural uses, wastewater treatment plants, <br />food processing plants, chemical plants, composting, refineries, landfills, dairies, and fiberglass <br />molding. The proposed project does not include any uses identified by the SCAQMD as being <br />associated with odors and therefore would not produce objectionable odors. <br />Odors resulting from the construction of the proposed project are not likely to affect a substantial <br />number of people due to the fact that construction activities do not usually emit offensive odors. <br />Potential odor emitters during construction activities include asphalt paving and the use of <br />architectural coatings and solvents.
