hotspots; therefore, CO emissions would be less than significant. Additionally, the emissions generated by the project would not exceed the applicable SCAQMD localized construction or operational air quality thresholds. Therefore, localized impacts related to localized construction and operational impacts would be less than significant, In addition, emissions of toxic air contaminants (TACs) related to diesel particulate matter from construction equipment, the onsite emergency generator, and adjacent active rail line would not exceed the thresholds of significance. Therefore, the project would result in less than significant impacts related to exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. B. Findings The City finds that: 1. The Heritage Mixed Use project would not create permanent adverse impacts related to conflict with or obstruction of implementation of the AQMP, and would riot expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. Thus, these air quality related impacts would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures are necessary. Geology and Soils A. Facts 1. The project would not result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil. The project would be required to be implemented in compliance with the Construction General Permit and a SWPPP prepared by a Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD) and implemented by a Qualified SWPPP Practitioner (QSP), which would ensure that construction - related impacts from erosion and siltation from the project would be less than significant. 2. The project would not result in a significant cumulative impact related to geology and soils, The project would be required to be i nplomented in compliance with (California Building Codes) building codes, which reduces impacts to a less than significant level. All other projects within the County are subject to similar seismic hazards and are subject to CBC building codes to reduce potential effects related to seismic events. Therefore, the project would not result in impacts that could combine with other existing, future, or foreseeable projects; and the project would result in less than significant cumulative impacts related to geology and soils. Implementation of a site - specific SWPPP and BMPs as required by Construction General Permit would minimize the potential for soil erosion from project construction. All planned projects in the vicinity of the project are subject to conformance with the same Construction General Pennit and the local grading and building code requirements, which reduce potential impacts related to erosion and seismic hazards to less than sigm fucant levels. With implementation of existing regulatory requirements, the project when combined with the past, present, and reasonably foreseeable cumulative projects would result in less than significant cumulative impacts related to erosion.
