Statement of Facts and • Pave or apply water every three hours during daily construction activities or apply non -toxic soil stabilizers on all unpaved access roads, parking areas, and staging areas. More frequent watering shall occur if dust is observed migrating from the site during site disturbance. • Any on -site stockpiles of debris, dirt, or other dusty material shall be enclosed, covered, or watered twice daily, or nontoxic soil binders shall be applied. • All grading and excavation operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 miles per hour. • Disturbed areas shall be replaced with ground cover or paved immediately after construction is completed in the affected area. • Track-out devices such as gravel bed track -out aprons (3 inches deep, 25 feet long, 12 feet wide per lane and edged by rock berm or row of stakes) shall be installed to reduce mud /dirt track -out from unpaved truck exit routes. Alternatively a wheel washer shall be used at truck exit routes. • On -site vehicle speed shall be limited to 15 miles per hour. • All material transported off-site shall be either sufficiently watered or securely covered to prevent excessive amounts of dust prior to departing the job site. • Reroute construction trucks away from congested streets or sensitive receptor areas. Mitigation Measure AQ -4: All trucks that are to haul excavated or graded material on -site shall comply with State Vehicle Code Section 23114 (Spilling Loads on Highways), with special attention to Sections 23114(b)(F), (e)(4) as amended, regarding the prevention of such naterial spilling onto public streets and roads. Prior to the issuance of grading permits, the Applicant shall demonstrate to the City Engineer how the project operations subject to that specification during hauling activities shall comply with the provisions set forth in Sections 23114(b)(F)(e)(4). Mitigation Measure AQ -5: Prior to issuance of any Grading Permit, the City Engineer and the Building Safety Manager shall confirm that. the construction plans and specifications stipulate that the architectural coatings activities required for project construction be extended to a minimum of 100 days. The duration of architectural coatings activities shall be verified by the Building Safety Division during construction. Mitigation Measure AQ -6: Prior to issuance of any Grading Permit, the City Engineer and the Building Safety Manager shall confirm that the construction plans and specifications stipulate that All architectural coatings for non - residential as well as residential buildings shall meet a volatile organic compound (VOC) content of 50 grams per liter (g/L) or less for interior coating and 100 g/L or less for exterior coatings; or a content consistent with Rule 1113 (i.e., super compliant paints), Use of low -VOC paints shall be verified by the Building Safety Division during construction. Cultural Resources A. Facts 1. The project has the potential to cause a substumtial adverse change in the significance of a historical or archaeological resource, as defined in CEQA aildelines Section 15064.5. Excavation for the proj ect'is anticipated to extend to a depth below the level of the previous soil disturbance activities.
