Section 5 <br />measures are championed. The revision to the cumulative impact discussion <br />requirement (Section 15130) simply directs agencies to analyze greenhouse gas <br />emissions in an EIR when a project's incremental contribution of emissions may <br />be cumulatively considerable, however it does not answer the question of when <br />emissions are cumulatively considerable. <br />5.7.3 Thresholds of Significance <br />1. Would the project generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or <br />indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? <br />2. Would the project conflict with any applicable plan, policy or regulation of <br />agency adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse <br />gasses? <br />5.7..4 Environmental Consequences <br />IMPACT GHG -1: Would the project generate greenhouse gas emissions, <br />either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the <br />environment? <br />Alternative 1: No Federal Action /No Project <br />Under Alternative 1, the project would not be implemented. There would be no <br />increases, in construction- related or operation greenhouse gas erissions within <br />the project area. <br />Alternative 2: Proposed Project <br />There are no established Federal, State, or local quantitative thresholds <br />applicable to the Proposed Project to determine the quantity of GHG emissions <br />that could have a significant effect on the environment. CARIB, the SCAQMD, <br />and various cities and agencies have proposed, or adopted on an interim basis, <br />thresholds of significance or threshold levels that require the implementation of <br />GHG emissions reduction measures. Because the Proposed Project is not a <br />residential or commercial land use development project, the SCAQMD adopted . <br />interim threshold of '10,000 MTCO2e for industrial projects to evaluate significant <br />adverse GHG emission impacts generated from the Proposed Project. <br />The Council on Environmental Quality guidance on the consideration of GHG <br />emissions in NEPA reviews recommends that the NEPA analysis use a threshold <br />of 25,000 MTCO2e per year of GHGs. Therefore, for NEPA analysis purposes, <br />activities that generate GHG emissions less than 25,000 MTCO2e per year <br />would be considered to not result in significant adverse impacts. <br />jar Mid Basin Centennial Park �genl4j Project Final EIR 5 -92 <br />
