KLE/MEEL®ER Bright People.Right Solutions. i 7. When materials are transported off-site, stabilize and cover all materials to be transported and maintain six inches of freeboard space from the top of the container. 8. Remove carryout and trackout of soil materials on a daily basis unless it extends more than 50 feet from site; carryout and trackout extending more than 50 feet from the site shall be removed immediately. The use of dry rotary brushes is expressly prohibited except where preceded or accompanied by sufficient wetting to limit the visible dust emissions. Use of blower devices is expressly forbidden. If the project would involve more than 150 construction vehicle trips per day onto the public street, additional restrictions specified in Section 5.8 of SJVAPCD Rule 8041 will apply. Significance After Mitigation: Less than significant Implementation: The ODS will be responsible for compliance with Regulation VIII and the above construction standards in project design and construction. Monitoring: The SJVAPCD is responsible for verifying compliance with its rules during project design, construction and operation. Air Quality Impacts of Project Operations The proposed project is anticipated to reduce specific emissions from truck trips, as trips moving processing materials between the existing Weber Avenue and Lincoln Street facilities would be eliminated with the consolidation of the two facilities. However, this reduction would be offset by the increase in permitted materials receiving capacity tat the proposed Weber facility, and the subsequent increase in deliveries of recycled materials. The potential air emissions associated with the project were modeled by Kleinfelder in conjunction with the preparation of this Initial Study. The analysis included consideration of area and operational emissions generated by the project. Area emissions refer to those generated by on-site equipment, while other operational emissions are generated by project-related vehicle traffic. The emissions were calculated using the latest version of the URBEMIS computer model, which is accepted t by the SJVAPCD. A copy of the URBEMIS results for the project is shown in Appendix A. Based on information provided by the project applicant, the proposed facility is predicted to generate approximately 354 vehicle trips per day, including trucks transporting materials to and from the project site. Recycling collection trucks, with load capacities ranging from six to ten tons, were assumed to be medium-heavy duty trucks in URBEMIS. Transfer trucks, which ship materials to other sites and range from 18 to 22 tons, were assumed to be heavy-heavy duty trucks.
