Air Quality. The SEIR will evaluate the potential construction and operational emissions of the project, including a qualitative evaluation of project-generated operational-related emissions of carbon monoxide. The analysis will be conducted in accordance with San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District(SJVAPCD) recommended methodologies and thresholds. Because the project does not involve industrial uses or other stationary sources that could generate substantial toxic air contaminants (TACs), potential stationary sources will be qualitatively discussed in relation to adopted SJVAPCD rules and regulations. Increases in criteria air pollutants, precursors, and exposure to TACs and odors will be compared to applicable thresholds. Geology, Soils, and Mineral Resources.The EIR will evaluate the potential for significant impacts related to seismic events and soil stability. The potential for the project to limit access to important mineral resources will also be considered. Noise. The SEIR will evaluate the potential increases in ambient noise levels on and near the project site as a result of project implementation. The SEIR will analyze potential short-term construction source and long- term operational source (e.g., trip generation) impacts. While construction noise is generally described as "short-term,"the discussion will acknowledge the potential for extended noise effects from a drawn-out construction project. For project-related changes in traffic volumes, noise increases (or decreases) at existing noise-sensitive receptors and potential land use compatibilities at proposed noise-sensitive receptors will be determined (to the extent the project itself exacerbates these noise levels) based on the results of the traffic analysis. Vibration levels during construction will be estimated to determine potential effects on nearby structures. Hydrology and Water Quality. The SEIR will evaluate potential flooding impacts associated with development at the project site to reflect current conditions, including the improved levee system recently completed by Reclamation District(RD) 2062. The SEIR will summarize the analysis and conclusions of the 2003 SEIR and General Plan EIR as they pertain to the project site. The SEIR will provide analysis for compliance with the Central Valley Flood Protection Act of 2007, enacted by SB 5, as amended that requires that jurisdictions located in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley incorporate plans for the attainment of a 200-year Urban Level of Flood Protection. Hazardous Materials and Public Health. The SEIR will address the potential for project-related construction and operations to create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through use of hazardous materials or cause reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials. Public Services.The SEIR will discuss the project's anticipated demand and analyze the capacity of emergency services (police and fire), school services, library facilities and other public services. The SEIR will also describe the potential for implementation of the project to result in increased demands for public services such that new or expanded facilities might be constructed or that proposed facilities would result in significant impacts to the environment. Public Utilities.The anticipated demand for water, wastewater and recycled water, stormwater conveyance, electricity, and natural gas under the project will be compared with the discussion from the 2003 SEIR. Based on the land uses proposed for the previously approved project, utility demand is expected to increase because of the denser residential development pattern. A water supply assessment will be prepared (SB 610/SB 221); because of the complexities surrounding water supply and the potential sources,the water supply analysis will evaluate potential for reduced groundwater water supply and the implications to the project, including the increased demand for potable water due to the increase in overall residential development. Recreation.The SEIR will determine the required parkland acreage based on the proposed Phase 2 project and evaluate whether the project includes sufficient parkland of various categories to meet these requirements.
