Environmental Mitigation Measures
Air Quality
Air quality impacts may occur during the site preparation including grading
and equipment exhaust as it is used on-site. Major sources of emissions
during this phase include exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and
equipment, and fugitive dust generated as a result of construction vehicles
and equipment traveling over exposed surfaces, as well as soil disturbances
by grade/fill. NOx and PM10 levels will be exceeded on a daily basis during
construction. The following mitigation measures will be required to reduce
impacts to a less-than significant level:
1) The Construction Contractor shall select the construction equipment
used on-site based on low-emission factors and high-energy efficiency.
The Construction Contractor shall ensure that construction grading
plans include a statement that all construction equipment will be tuned
and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
2) The Construction Contractor shall utilize electric or diesel-powered
equipment in lieu of gasoline-powered engines where feasible.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 00-42
TT 16051 — RICHMOND AMERICAN
MAY 10, 2000
Page 5
3) The Construction Contractor shall ensure that construction grading
plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when
not in use. During smog season (May through October), the overall
length of the construction period should be extended; thereby,
decreasing the size of the area prepared each day, to minimize vehicles
and equipment operating at the same time.
4) The Construction Contractor shall support and encourage ride-sharing
and transit incentives for the construction crew.
5) Dust generated by the development activities shall be retained on site
and kept to a minimum by following the dust control measures listed
below:
a) During clearing, grading, earth moving, excavation, or
transportation of cut or fill materials, water trucks or sprinkler
systems shall be used to prevent dust from leaving the site and
to create a crust after each day's activities cease.
b) During construction, water trucks or sprinkler systems shall be
used to keep all areas of vehicle movement damp enough to
prevent dust from leaving the site. At a minimum, this would
include wetting down such areas in the later morning and after
work is completed for the day, and whenever wind exceeds 15
miles per hour.
c) After clearing, grading, earth moving, or excavation is completed;
the entire area of disturbed soil shall be treated immediately by
pickup of the soil until the area is paved or otherwise developed
so that dust generation will not occur.
d) Soil stockpiled for more than two days shall be covered, kept
moist, or treated with soil binders to prevent dust generation.
e) Trucks transporting soil, sand, cut or fill materials and/or
construction debris to or from the site shall be tarped from the
point of origin.
6) The Construction Contractor shall utilize, as much as possible, pre-
coated natural colored building materials, water-based or low-VOC
coating, and coating transfer or spray equipment with high transfer
efficiency, such as high-volume low-pressure (HVLP) spray method, or
manual coating applications such as paint brush, hand roller, trowel,
spatula, dauber, rag, or sponge.
Noise
1) To mitigate traffic noise to "safe" levels, a minimum 516-foot high wall
be constructed along both Base Line Road and Rochester Avenue
(Lots 1-22) along the top of the proposed streetscape berms and/or
slopes.
