17. Air: <br />a. Stationary source emissions - Describe the type, sources, quantities and compositions of any <br />emissions from stationary sources such as boilers or exhaust stacks. Include any hazardous air <br />pollutants, criteria pollutants. Discuss effects to air quality including any sensitive receptors, <br />human health or applicable regulatory criteria. Include a discussion of any methods used assess <br />the project's effect on air quality and the results of that assessment. Identify pollution control <br />equipment and other measures that will be taken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects <br />from stationary source emissions. <br />The Project is not anticipated to result in any temporary or permanent stationary sources of air <br />emissions. There are no existing permitted air facilities or sensitive receptors within the vicinity of the <br />proposed Project. <br />b. Vehicle emissions -Describe the effect of the project's traffic generation on air emissions. Discuss <br />the project's vehicle -related emissions effect on air quality. Identify measures (e.g. traffic <br />operational improvements, diesel idling minimization plan) that will be taken to minimize or <br />mitigate vehicle -related emissions. <br />The project will result in an increase to local traffic. This will result in an increase to local vehicle air <br />emissions. A number of recommended improvements to the public roadway network have been <br />included within the Traffic Impact Analysis Report. Examples include adding dedicated turn lanes to <br />intersections and reevaluating posted speed limits to aid in traffic circulation and reduce stationary <br />idling times. The Traffic Impact Analysis Report is included in Appendix H — Traffic Impact Study. <br />c. Dust and odors - Describe sources, characteristics, duration, quantities, and intensity of dust and <br />odors generated during project construction and operation. (Fugitive dust may be discussed <br />under item 17a). Discuss the effect of dust and odors in the vicinity of the project including nearby <br />sensitive receptors and quality of life. Identify measures that will be taken to minimize or mitigate <br />the effects of dust and odors. <br />Dust common to construction and earth moving practices is expected (in the form of fugitive dust) <br />during periods of dry weather. Dust will be visually monitored and recorded in conjunction with the <br />NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit inspections. Appropriate dust control best management <br />practices (such as soil wetting, misting/water vapor, and hydraulic additives) may be implemented <br />(upon inspection or public complaint) by the contractor as necessary to control dust from leaving the <br />Project site during all phases of construction. Specific dust control best management practices will be <br />determined based on severity, weather conditions (i.e. wind speed), and current site conditions. <br />Dust and odors caused from vehicles parked within driveways and along streets will vary depending <br />on the number and types of vehicles actively moving in one area and current weather conditions. <br />Pollutants generated from vehicle exhausts may concentrate and linger (possibly where vehicles <br />congregate) which may cause a short-term odor that eventually dissipates. <br />Page 24 <br />
