Individual
Responses
to
Comments
from
Organizations
not
approved
will
be
considered
by
the
City
as
part
of
its
planning
review
for
the
Baylands.
The
Draft
EIR
included
an
analysis
of
air
quality
health
impacts
from
construction
in
Impact
4.B-3,
beginning
on
page
4.B-29,
and
an
assessment
of
air
quality
health
impacts
from
Project
Site
development
operation
in
Impact
4.B-5,
beginning
on
Page
4.B-38.
Localized
air
quality
health
impacts
were
found
to
be
less
than
significant.
Regional
air
quality
impacts
from
ozone
precursors
and
particulate
matter
are
identified
as
significant
on
page
4.B-38
of
the
Draft
EIR.
See
Response
for
discussion
of
the
health
risk
assessment
prepared
for
proposed
Baylands
development.
The
issues
raised
in
relation
to
availability
of
proposed
uses
in
other
previously
approved
projects
in
the
area
will
be
considered
by
the
City
as
part
of
its
planning
review
for
the
Baylands.
The
Draft
EIR
contained
an
analysis
of
air
quality
health
impacts
from
Project
Site
development
operation
in
Impact
4.B-5,
beginning
on
Page
4.B-38.
Localized
air
quality
health
impacts,
including
impacts
to
existing
off-site
receptors,
were
found
to
be
less
than
significant
(increased
cancer
risk
less
than
10
in
one
million).
See
Response
for
discussion
of
the
health
risk
assessment
prepared
for
proposed
Baylands
development.
As
required
by
CEQA,
the
conclusions
set
forth
in
the
Draft
EIR
for
Impact
4.B-5
are
based
on
the
impacts
of
proposed
Baylands
development,
i.e.,
a
comparison
of
Project
Site
development
against
the
baseline
physical
conditions,
and
not
the
contributions
of
existing
development.
Cumulative
air
quality
impacts
are
addressed
in
Chapter
6
of
the
Draft
EIR
starting
on
page
6-19.
The
Health
Risk
Assessment
(HRA)
summarized
in
Impacts
4.B-3
and
4.B-5
and
contained
in
Appendix
D
of
the
Draft
EIR,
was
conducted
in
accordance
with
technical
guidelines
developed
by
federal,
state,
and
regional
agencies,
including
the
US
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(USEPA),
California
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(CalEPA),

Consistent
with
this
OEHHA
Guidance,
the
HRA
used
a
5-year
span
of
meteorological
data
from
a
location
within
5
miles
of
the
Baylands
Project
Site.
Until
such
time
that
OEHHA
updates
its
guidance
to
recommend
any
future
meteorological
forecasts
it
deems
reliable
and
available
with
the
data
necessary
