Wildwood LNG Demonstration Facility construction personnel commutation. During operation, it is expected that product LNG will be trucked off site by a LNG transport truck approximately every other day. An additional two trips per week are anticipated for maintenance and operations activities. The anticipated traffic is not expected to impact the existing users of Wildwood Road. An application for encroachment onto Wildwood Road will be made for the driveway aprons from the public right of way onto the project property. The driveways will be all-weather surfaces suitable for handling the maximum highway loads anticipated for the LNG transport tankers. 8.1.112 Socio-Economic Impacts Because the proposed facility is small and is temporary in nature, few, if any, socio-economic impacts are expected. Most of the construction of the process equipment will be performed off site and prefabricated, skid-mounted equipment delivered to the site. It is expected that the need for local construction workers will be small and that the impacts of the limited amount of construction will spread to the local economy. Because the plant will be operated remotely, on-site operations staff will not be required. Local personnel will perform periodic maintenana�. Similarly, the LNG trick drivers will be local. Although positive, the impact on the local labor market is expected to be very small. There may be some tax revenues generated by the facility in that it will be producing LNG for sale,but the impact of these for the duration of the project will also be small. 8.1.13 Project Life Expectancy The proposed project is a demonstration project designed to prove the efficacy of the process in producing fuel grade LNG economically from the feedstock available. At the end of the demonstration period after the project criteria have been proven, the process equipment and other improvements to the property will be removed from the site. The project site will be restored to its original condition. 8.2 Air Emissions Permits Air emissions from the project will. be categorized and quantified as part of the air emissions permitting process. Expected air emissions include infrequent fugitive releases of natural gas from the well and process equipment, engine exhaust from the on-site engine-generator set, and engine exhausts from mobile equipment on the site. In particular, the engine-generator emissions are strictly regulated, and the engine manufacturer will guarantee that the emissions of certain species will not exceed the 'levels enforced by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District(SJVAPCD). According to SJVAPCD Rule 2.01 (General Permit Requirements), an authorization to construct must be obtained from the Air Pollution Control Officer prior to construction.
