Statement of infrastructure, water and wastewater, and landfill facility and service capacity. Utility and service system related impacts would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures are necessary. 6.0 Effects Determined to be Mitigated to Less than Significant in the EIR The City of Santa Ana, having reviewed and considered the information contained in the Final EIR, the Technical Appendices, and the administrative record, finds, pursuant to California Public Resources Code 21081 (a)(1) and CEQA Guidelines 15091 (a)(1) that changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project, which would avoid or substantially lessen to below a level of significance the following potentially significant environmental cffects identified in the Final EIR in the following categories: • Air Quality (short -term [construction] air emissions) • Cultural Resources (archaeological and paleontological resources, cumulative) • Geology and Soils (seismic ground shaking, liquefaction, ground settlement, corrosive soils, expansive soils) • Greenhouse Gases (operations) • Land Use and Plarr ing (airport consistency) • Noise (project machinery noise and short -term construction noise) The potentially significant adverse environmental impacts that can be mitigated are described below. The City of Santa Ana finds that these potentially significant adverse impacts can be mitigated to a level that is less than significant after implementation of mitigation measures. I O . H A. Facts The project has the potential to violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation during construction activities. Construction related emissions would have the potential to result in substantial contributions concentrations of ROG and NOx. NOx would be generated from the onsite equipment exhaust, and ROGs would be generated from the application of architectural coatings. Implementation of Mitigation Measures AQ -1 through AQ -6 would reduce the emissions through regulating equipment exhaust, extending the timing of the architectural coating phases, and reducing the ROG content of the architectural coatings used for non - residential buildings to those required for residential buildings. The total mitigated ROG and NOx emissions that would result from the implementation of mitigation would be reduced to less than significant levels. Therefore, emissions from construction activities would be less than significant with implementation of the mitigation measures listed below.
