hazardous
materials
such
as
asbestos-containing
materials
and
lead-based
paint
are
likely
to
be
encountered
during
demolition
of
structures).
In
addition,
hazardous
materials
may
still
be
encountered
during
Project
Site
construction
activities
following
remediation.
Encountering
contaminated
soils
or
groundwater
either
during
or
following
remediation
could
expose
construction
workers,
the
environment,
or
the
public
to
adverse
effects
of
either
known
or
previously
unidentified
contamination.
Consequently
this
was
identified
in
the
Draft
EIR
as
a
significant
impact
and
mitigation
was
identified.
Mitigation
Measure
4.G-2b
(Soil
and
Groundwater
Management
Plan)
requires
that,
prior
to
issuance
of
a
building
or
grading
permit
for
any
parcel
within
the
Baylands
Project
Site
a
Soil
and
Groundwater
Management
Plan
is
to
be
prepared
by
a
qualified
environmental
consulting
firm,
reviewed
and
approved
by
DTSC
and
the
RWQCB
and
implemented
by
the
project
applicant.
The
Soil
and
Groundwater
Management
Plan
also
includes
a
requirement
for
development
and
implementation
of
site-specific
safety
plans
to
be
prepared
prior
to
commencement
of
construction
consistent
with
Occupational
Safety
and
Health
Administration
(OSHA)
Safety
and
Health
Standards

CFR
1910.120
as
well
as
management
of
groundwater
produced
through
temporary
dewatering
activities.

As
required
by
CEQA,
the
Draft
EIR
uses
the
existing
environmental
conditions
at
the
time
of
the
Notice
of
Preparation
as
the
baseline
for
analysis
of
the
project’s
impacts.
As
discussed
in
Master Response
7,
the
baseline
year
for
EIR
analysis
is
2010.
The
methodologies
and
thresholds
applied
in
the
Draft
EIR
relative
to
air
quality
impact
assessment
are
those
from
the
most
recent
sources
available.
It
should
be
noted
that
the
BAAQMD
CEQA
website
now
identifies
CalEEMod
as
the
model
to
be
used
in
CEQA
air
quality
analysis
as
of
August
5,
2013.
The
Draft
EIR
was
published
in
June
of
2013
prior
to
the
release
of
the
updated
version
of
CalEEMod
and
the
BAAQMD’s
specification.
The
Final
EIR
includes
an
updated
estimation
of
Project
Site
development-related
air
pollutant
and
GHG
emissions
based
on
the
latest
version
of
the
CalEEMod
model.
