any
acoustical
shielding,
the
noise
analysis
provided
in
the
Draft
EIR
provides
a
realistic
assessment
of
how
sound
will
carry
in
the
community.
Construction
related
emissions,
including
mobile
and
fugitive
dust
emissions,
presented
in
Draft
EIR
Table
4.B-4
include
diesel
truck
emissions
associated
with
transport
of
soil
assuming
2.6
million
cubic
yards
of
soil
transported
over
a
5-year
period
to
move
earth
from
the
eastern
to
the
western
portion
of
the
site,
consistent
with
page
17
of
the
Brisbane
Baylands
Infrastructure
Plan.
Construction-related
emissions
presented
in
Table
4.B-5
of
the
Draft
EIR
include
diesel
truck
emissions
associated
with
soil
transport
assuming
1.13
million
cubic
yards
of
soil
transported
over
a
5-year
period
to
dispose
of
the
remaining
soils
off-site
from
the
eastern
portion
of
the
site,
consistent
with
page
14
of
the
Brisbane
Baylands
Infrastructure
Plan.
Assuming
a
5-year
period,
disposal
of
1.13
million
yards
of
soils
would
generate
a
total
of
94,170
to
113,000
truck
hauls,
assuming
a
haul
truck
capacity
of
10-12
cubic
yards.
Assuming
250
working
days
per
year,
a
total
of
150
to
180
daily
truck
trips
would
be
generated
on
a
daily
basis
(75-90
trucks
entering,
and
75-90
trucks
leaving
the
site).
If
offsite
hauling
occurs
through
a
six-hour
work
period,
disposal
of
soils
would
generate
25
to
50
trips
per
hour
(25-30
trucks
entering,
and
25-30
trucks
leaving
the
site).
“Open
space,”
as
used
in
project
objectives
involves
three
of
the
four
types
of
open
space
defined
in
California
General
Plan
law.
In
the
case
of
the
Baylands
project
objectives,
“open
space”
includes
(1)
lands
for
the
protection
and
preservation
of
natural
resources
(e.g.,
habitat
areas,
Brisbane
Lagoon),
(2)
lands
for
the
protection
of
public
health
and
safety
(e.g.,
steep
slopes
on
Icehouse
Hill),
and
(3)
recreation
lands.
The
fourth
type
of
open
space
described
in
General
Plan
law
--
land
for
the
managed
production
of
resources
--
is
not
included
in
the
project
objectives’
use
of
“open
space.”
Private
courtyards,
balconies,
and
similar
spaces
are
not
included
in
the
“open
space”
described
in
project
objectives,
nor
are
they
included
in
the
acreage
calcul
ations
for
“open
space”
provided
in
Chapter
3,
Project
Description
.
The
open
space
areas
identified
within
the
Brisbane
Baylands
are

that
are
