Traffic Impact Study Griffith Energy Storage Project <br /> 2.2 PROJECT SCHEDULE <br /> The Project is scheduled to go through the permitting process and the CEQA review during 2023. <br /> Construction is anticipated to begin as early as 2024 and would be underway for 15 months. <br /> More specifically, site civil grading and preparation work would occur for approximately 4 months, at <br /> which point the energy storage enclosure and substation construction would take place for approximately <br /> 4-9 months. After this, the gen-tie foundations would be poured and the towers would be erected for 5 <br /> weeks, then the gen-tie lines would be pulled and strung on the towers over the course of another 5 <br /> weeks. Finally, testing and commissioning would take place for approximately 11 weeks. <br /> Project Contacts <br /> Lead Agency: <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Stephanie Stowers, Senior Planner <br /> 1810 East Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, California 92505 <br /> sstowers@sjgov.org <br /> (209)468-0227 <br /> Applicant: <br /> Griffith Energy, LLC <br /> 700 University Blvd. <br /> Juno Beach, FL 33408 <br /> Applicant's Consultant: <br /> Tetra Tech, Inc. <br /> Jennifer Merrick <br /> 17885 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 500 <br /> Irvine, CA 92614 <br /> Jennifer.Merrick(o-)_tetratech.com <br /> (619) 321-6702 <br /> EPC Contact: <br /> TBD <br /> 2.3 METHODOLOGY <br /> This study was designed to evaluate potential impacts to the environment from emissions due to vehicle <br /> use. This was accomplished by evaluating the additional VMT caused by construction and operations. <br /> 2.3.1 Vehicle Miles Traveled <br /> The VMT metric is project-based and is implemented to help quantify traffic induced by construction and <br /> operations. The VMT metric is used to align effects on traffic with greenhouse gas (GHG)emissions. VMT <br /> is presented as a time-dependent value, i.e., the number of additional VMT per week during construction <br /> and operations, as well as a total VMT value for the entire Project.
