Thresholds
applied
in
the
assessment
of
impact
significance
in
the
Draft
EIR
were
derived
by
BAAQMD
based
on
federal
and
state
Clean
Air
Act
stationary
source
limitation
levels
for
non-attainment
pollutants
and
precursors
and
represent
what
would
constitute
cumulatively
considerable
contributions
to
air
quality.
The
implications
of
the
transported
air
pollution
would
consist
of
the
potential
for
increased
violations
of
the
air
quality
standards
for
ozone.
As
stated
on
Draft
EIR
page
4.B-2,
elevated
ozone
concentrations
can
cause
eye
irritation,
airway
constriction,
and
shortness
of
breath
and
can
aggravate
existing
respiratory
diseases
such
as
asthma,
bronchitis,
and
emphysema.
The
diesel
idling
rule
applies
only
to
diesel
fueled
commercial
motor
vehicles
with
a
gross
vehicular
weight
rating
in
excess
of
10,000
pounds.
Enforcement
of
the
5-minute
idling
restriction
is
established
in
California
Code
of
Regulations
Title
13,
Section
2485
(f)
which
states
that
this
section
may
be
enforced
by
the
Air
Resources
Board;
peace
officers
as
defined
in
California
Penal
Code,
Title
3,
Chapter

and
their

agencies’
authorized
representatives;

Water
trucks
typically
obtain
their
water
from
local
fire
hydrants.
The
source
of
water
available
within
the
Baylands
is
discussed
in
Draft
EIR
Section
4.O,
Utilities,
Services
Systems,
and
Water
Supply
.
Water
truck
emissions
were
considered
as
an
off-road
equipment
source
in
the
URBEMIS
modeling
conducted
for
the
Draft
EIR.
Updated
modeling
has
been
conducted
in
the
Final
EIR
using
CalEEMod,
which
considers
water
trucks
as
a
vendor
truck
trip.
See
Section
4.B,
Air
Quality
,
of
Volume
III
of
the
Final
EIR.
The
vehicle
count
factor
(vehicles
per
unit/square
foot)
was
based
on
an
average
of
the
construction
projects
surveyed
by
the
South
Coast
Air
Quality
Management
District,
which
provides
a
conservative
estimate
for
use
in
the
San
Francisco
Bay
Area.
Water
trucks
sourced
from
fire
hydrants
use
treated,
potable
water
and
do
not
represent
a
health
hazard.
The
following
paragraph
has
been
added
to
Mitigation
Measure
4.B-1
on
page
4.B-22:
9.
Construction
foreman
and
crew
shall
receive
training
from
contractors
on
implementation
of
the
above
emissions
reduction
techniques
prior
to
each
development
phase.
