MOUNTAIN HOUSE NEIGHBORHOODS K AND L INITIAL STUDY 5.ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 3.AIR QUALITY AND GREENHOUSE CTAS EMISSIONS 4) The project would cause a less-than-significant increase in carbon monoxide along streets and intersections providing access to the project site. 5) The project would cause significant emissions of PM10 during construction. Findings Related to Significant Impacts Identified in 1994 MSIR Impact Nos, 1,2, and 5 are addressed below. Impact Nos. 3 and 4 were less than significant and mitigation measures were not required. Impact No. T The 1994 MEIR identified three mitigation components for Impact No. 1 above. The first was: a) The County should incorporate a Countywide requirement for an air quality mitigation fee as part of the Development Title. Such a fee should be imposed when new projects generating more than 200 trips per day are not able to reduce trip generation by at least 25 percent. This fee could be used for air quality mitigation improvements, such as park and ride facilities,transit,vehicle inspection, or old car buy-back programs. s The County has not adopted an air quality mitigation fee. However,the SJVAPCD recently adopted Rule 9510 (Indirect Source Review), which will require developers to submit plans for review before construction can begin. The indirect source review program will also require developers to mitigate emissions of nitrogen oxides and PM10 either from project-implemented � mitigation measures and/or from fees paid to fund other air quality projects in ! 1 order to offset emissions from development. The second mitigation measure,which is advisory in nature,was: f b) Industrial or commercial operations at the project site with equipment that causes or has a potential for air pollution or that controls such air pollution may need to apply for an Authority to Construct and Permit to operate according to regulations of the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District. The third mitigation measure identified four conditions of approval regarding residential development. Section 10.5 of Specific Plan II (SPII) implements these four conditions. i The fourth of these conditions limited the number of fireplaces per residence to one. Subsequently,the SJVAPCD adopted Regulation 4901,which prohibits wood-burning fireplaces within new residential development and limits the number of wood-burning heaters or stoves that can be constructed based on the density of development. The adopted SJVAPCD regulation is a much more (smi i) 5-37
