5.ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST MOUNTAIN HOUSE NEIGHBORHOODS K AND L INITIAL STUDY r 3.AIR QUALITY AND GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS could change, mitigation has been added below to ensure odor impacts would be less than significant. The potential for nuisance complaints due to nearby agricultural activities was addressed in the 1994 MSIR, and the Master Plan and Development Title included a requirement for deed notification of the County's Right-to-Farm Ordinance. Mitigation Measures Mitigation Measure AIR-1: The applicant shall implement the following measures to control exposure of sensitive receptors within the project site to odors generated by the nearby wastewater treatment plant: ■ Prior to approval of the Tentative Subdivision Map, the project applicant shall relocate the 54 residential lots that are closest to the wastewater treatment plant and project boundary of Neighborhood L so that an increased buffer(e.g., on-site lake area)could be created between residential units and the wastewater treatment plant operations. • The deeds to all project properties within Neighborhood L shall be accompanied by a written disclosure from the transferor, in a form approved by the County, advising any transferee of the potential adverse odor impacts from nearby wastewater treatment operations. • If any odor complaints are received, the applicant shall work with the MHCSD to implement new technologies or handling procedures to minimize odors to the maximum extent possible. 0 Would the project generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? GHG impacts are considered to be exclusively cumulative impacts;there are no non-cumulative GHG emission impacts from a climate change perspective (CAPCOA, 2008).This analysis uses both a quantitative approach and a qualitative approach, which are discussed under Items(f)and(g), respectively. The quantitative approach is used below evaluate whether the project generate GHG emissions, either directly or indirectly,that may have a significant impact on the environment. As described above, SJVAPCD guidance relies on the use of BPS,which are performance-based standards,for assessing the significance of GHG emissions under CEQA.According to SJVAPCD guidance, projects implementing BPS would be determined to have a less-than-significant individual and cumulative impact on global climate change and would not require project-specific quantification of GHG emissions. However, projects not implementing BPS are required to demonstrate a 29-percent reduction in GHG emissions, compared to business-as-usual, in order to have a less than significant impact.The 29- percent reduction target is consistent with GHG emission reduction targets established in the CARB AB 32 Scoping Plan.The following discussion summarizes the results of the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Report, (9mi 1) 5-42
