STAFF REPORT

CONSENT
ITEM NUMBER: 7.

TITLE
Modular Offices for Maintenance and Utilities Department

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu(on Authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Mobile Modular in the amount not to exceed $320,121.14, for the reloca(on and purchase of a 12-feet by 60-feet modular office and for the purchase of a 24-feet by 60-feet modular office for Maintenance and Utilities Department.

CONTACT
Felix Hernandez, III, Maintenance and Utilities Director Dominic Patrick, Water Systems Manager

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Background
In 2022, the Maintenance and U(li(es Department rebalanced staffing alloca(ons and the Department organiza(onal chart. Infrastructure, popula(on, laws, and regula(ons are ever changing; two-thirds of all Maintenance and U(li(es Department staff worked under one manager and one Administra(on Clerk. The Department pursues to enhance its leadership, cross-training, and communica(ons throughout the department. The Department now operates with a more evenly distributed number of staff per manager and administrative staff.

Specifically, Sewer Collec(ons was relocated from the corpora(on yard to the Water Reclama(on Facility (WRF) and Water Distribu(on was relocated from the corpora(on yard to the Water Treatment Plant (WTP). In 2022 it became evident the decision to relocate and re-organize the department was a wise plan; more than a dozen state cer(ficates and several promo(ons were accomplished. At the (me, the vacancy in the Environmental Services Division (ESD) allowed worksta(ons from ESD to be reallocated to the Sewer Collec(on Division staff. The Water Distribu(on Division staff were placed in a leased modular office at the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) with a 12-month lease agreement with Mobile Modular (Agreement 2020-A134 and Amendment #1 Agreement 2022-48). The building is 12-feet by 60-feet, unit number 1613. The Environmental Services Division has recently filled the Manager Posi(on as well as two Environmental Specialist positions.
23 Analysis
To give each staff member an adequate worksta(on and con(nue high performance opera(ons, the Maintenance and U(li(es Department would like to purchase two modular offices, one that is currently being leased and one addi(onal unit.

ATTACHMENT A

LEASE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. LEASE. Lessor leases to Lessee, and Lessee leases from Lessor, the equipment listed on the Lease Agreement hereto (the "Equipment") on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Each such Lease Agreement ("Agreement") and the lease provisions on Lessor’s website at (https://www.MobileModular.com/ContractTerms) (the "Incorporated Provisions"), which are incorporated by reference into the Agreement, shall constitute a separate and independent lease (a "Lease") of the Equipment listed in the Agreement under "Product Information". In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and Lessee’s contract, purchase order or other document, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

2. LEASE TERM. The Agreement shall be in full force and effect upon the date of execution by Lessee. The Lease Term and Monthly Rent shall commence on the Start Rent Date specified in the Agreement (which may be adjusted by mutual agreement of Lessee and Lessor), and shall continue thereafter for the number of months specified in the Agreement as the "Contract Term" (the "Lease Term"). Lessee is responsible for paying the Monthly Rent specified in the Agreement (as such may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4) for each month during the Lease Term. This Lease Agreement defines a month as 30 calendar days; rent will be billed monthly unless otherwise specified. In the event that Lessee terminates the Agreement prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, Lessor shall be entitled to charge an early termination fee, even if such termination occurs prior to delivery of the Equipment. Such fee shall be determined by Lessor following the receipt of the termination request. Such early termination fee may include charges related to the preparation of the Equipment for delivery and/or the rental value of the Agreement. In no event shall any such early termination fee exceed the total value of the Lease Agreement. Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any failure or delay in obtaining, delivering or setting up the Equipment. In the event Lessor is responsible for delay in obtaining, delivering or setting up the Equipment, the Start Rent Date shall be deemed to be revised to the date that Lessor substantially completes setting up the Equipment. If any delay in obtaining, delivering or setting up the Equipment is caused by failure of the site to be ready or for any other reason not solely the responsibility of Lessor, the Lease shall commence as of the Start Rent Date originally stated notwithstanding such delay.

3. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT. Regardless of the stated Lease Term, Lessee must provide a minimum of 60 days’ prior notice for return delivery of Equipment. Please review the Incorporated Provisions on Lessor’s website at (https://www.MobileModular.com/ContractTerms) for the conditions under which the Equipment must be returned. Unless otherwise agreed upon by Lessor in writing, Monthly Rent shall be due until return of the Equipment to Lessor is completed and shall not be based upon the date such return is requested. Lessor prorates rent in one-half (1/2) month increments only. Lessee is responsible for paying the full month’s rental payment for Equipment returned after the Mobile Modular Management Corporation

4. HOLDING OVER; LEASE EXTENSION. Following the expiration of the Lease Term, the Lease and the terms and conditions set forth herein, shall be extended on a month-to-month basis until the Equipment is returned to Lessor. In this event, Lessor may establish a revised rental rate which shall constitute the Monthly Rent. The charges upon return and any other charges related to the return of the Equipment may be reasonably revised from those reflected in the Agreement, at Lessor’s discretion, should the Lease be extended beyond the initial Lease Term.

5. LESSEE AGREEMENTS. Lessee agrees that:
(a) Lessor may insert in the applicable Agreement the serial number and other identification data relating to the Equipment when ascertained by Lessor; and
(b) Lessor (or its agents, employees or contractors) may, from time to time at any reasonable time, enter upon the premises of Lessee for the purposes of (1) inspecting the Equipment or posting “Notices of Non-Responsibility” or similar notices thereon, or (2) photographing the Equipment, including any items or occupants within or surrounding the Equipment, for promotional or other purposes, pursuant to Section 6 of the Incorporated Provisions. If Lessor determines that repairs to the Equipment are needed, Lessee shall grant access for said repairs. Lessor shall bear the expense of any repairs that it determines are needed to ameliorate normal wear and tear; the expense of all other repairs (including any repairs requested by Lessee) shall be borne by Lessee. If Lessee does not grant access for such repairs between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, Lessee shall bear the cost of repair rates for labor at the applicable overtime rates.

6. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Lessee shall pay to Lessor the Security Deposit specified in the Agreement, which may be due upon execution of the Agreement, if specified. The Security Deposit shall be held by Lessor (who shall have no obligation to collect or pass through to Lessee any interest thereon) as security for Lessee’s faithful performance of the terms and conditions of the applicable Lease, including without limitation Lessee’s indemnification obligations under Section 12. If an Event of Default occurs, Lessor may apply the Security Deposit to payment of its costs, expenses and attorney fees in enforcing the terms of the Lease and to indemnify Lessor against any costs, expenses or damages sustained by Lessor in connection with the Lease (provided, however, nothing herein contained shall be construed to mean that the recovery of damages by Lessor shall be limited to the amount of the Security Deposit). In the event all or any portion of the Security Deposit is applied as aforesaid, Lessee shall deposit additional amounts with Lessor so that the Security Deposit shall always be maintained at the amount specified in the Agreement. At the end of the Lease Term, Lessor shall apply any remaining balance of the Security Deposit to the payment of any monies owed to Lessor under the Lease. Thereafter, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lessee has complied with Section 3, Lessor shall return to Lessee any remaining balance of the Security Deposit.

7. ASSIGNMENT. Lessee will not assign, convey, transfer, or pledge as security or collateral its interest, or any part thereof, in and to any Lease or the Equipment without the prior written consent of Lessor; and any such attempted assignment, conveyance, transfer, or pledge of security or collateral, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be null and void, and any such attempt act may be considered an Event of Default. Lessor may, at its option and without the prior approval of Lessee, transfer, convey, assign or pledge as security or collateral its interest or any part thereof, in and to the Lease.

8. PAYMENTS. Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor (at the office of Lessor or to such other person or at such other place as Lessor may from time to time designate to Lessee in writing) each payment specified herein on a net invoice basis without demand by Lessor. Payment terms are net due upon receipt unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. All payments due from Lessee pursuant to the terms of the Lease shall be made by Lessee without any abatement or setoff of any kind whatsoever arising from any cause whatsoever.

9. TAXES AND LIENS. Lessee agrees to keep the Equipment free of all levies, liens or encumbrances. Lessee shall, in the manner directed by Lessor, (a) make and file all declarations and returns in connection with all charges, fees and taxes (local, state and federal) levied or assessed either upon Lessee or Lessor, or upon the ownership, leasing, rental, sale, possession, use, or operation of the Equipment, and (b) pay all such charges, fees and taxes. However, Lessor shall pay all local, state or federal net income taxes relating to the Lease.

10. LOSS OR DAMAGE. Until the Equipment is returned to Lessor, Lessee assumes all risk of loss or damage to the Equipment. Subject to Section 12(b), should any Equipment damaged be capable of repair, the Lease shall not terminate, but Lessee shall cause the Equipment to be repaired and restored to its condition existing prior to such damage, at Lessee’s sole expense. In the event any of the Equipment is damaged beyond repair or is lost, stolen or wholly destroyed, this Agreement shall cease and terminate as to such Equipment as of the date of the event, accident or occurrence causing such loss or destruction, and Lessee shall pay Lessor within ten (10) days thereafter, an amount equal to the full replacement value of the Equipment. Lessee shall be entitled to the benefit of the proceeds from any insurance recovery received by Lessor, up to an amount equal to that which Lessee has paid to Lessor pursuant to this paragraph.

11. INSURANCE. Lessee shall provide, maintain, and pay all premiums for property insurance covering the loss, theft, destruction, or damage to the Equipment in an amount not less than the full replacement value thereof, naming Lessor as loss payee of the proceeds. Lessee shall also provide, maintain, and pay all premiums for general liability insurance (minimum of $1,000,000 per occurrence), naming Lessor as an additional insured. All insurance shall be in a form and with a company having an A.M. Best rating of A- or better, and shall not be subject to cancellation without thirty-(30) day’s prior written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor insurance certificates, or evidence of insurance related thereto, meeting the above requirements. Proceeds of such insurance shall, at Lessor’s option, be applied either towards replacement, restoration or repair of the Equipment or towards payment of Lessee’s obligations under the Lease. Lessor may require Lessee’s insurance carrier to be licensed to do business in the state where the Equipment is being leased. Lessor will not and does not provide insurance for any of Lessee’s personal property that may be in or on any Equipment.

LESSEE SHALL PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF INSURANCE IN THE FORM A CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE IN WHICH LESSOR IS NAMED AS AN ADDITIONAL INSURED AND LOSS PAYEE AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE FOLLOWING EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE EQUIPMENT WILL NOT BE DELIVERED OR INSTALLED UNTIL THE REQUIRED CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE IS RECEIVED BY LESSOR.

Should Lessee fail to deliver to Lessor the insurance certificates, or evidence of insurance related thereto, meeting the above requirements on or before the Start Rent Date, Lessee will be in default under this Agreement and Lessor, at its option, may, among other actions, impose a one-time fee for processing of up to One Hundred Dollars ($100) and may assess as additional rent an uninsured lessee fee of ten percent (10%) of the monthly rental from the start of the lease term until the required insurance certificate is delivered to Lessor. Neither of the foregoing fees shall in any event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default or breach of this Agreement with respect to such failure nor prevent the exercise of any of the other rights and remedies granted to Lessor hereunder or available to Lessor under applicable law or equity. Any failure by Lessor to obtain or receive a certificate of insurance will not be deemed a waiver of Lessee’s obligations to procure and maintain the insurance specified herein These fees shall not be refundable.

12. WAIVER AND INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Lessee hereby waives and releases all claims against Lessor for (i) loss of or damage to all property, goods, wares and merchandise in, upon or about the Equipment, (ii) injuries to Lessee, Lessee’s agents and third persons, and (iii) the use, misuse, or malfunction of any security screens provided with the Equipment, in each case, irrespective of the cause of such loss, damage or injury. Under no circumstances shall Lessor be liable to Lessee for any special, incidental or consequential damages of any kind (including, but not limited to damages for loss of use, or profit, by Lessee or for any collateral damages), whether or not caused by Lessor’s negligence or delay, resulting from the Lease or the manufacture, delivery, installation, removal or use of the Equipment, or in connection with the services rendered by Lessor hereunder, even if the parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages. (b) Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all losses, liabilities, costs, expenses (including attorney fees), claims, actions, demands, fines, forfeitures, seizures or penalties (collectively, "Claims") arising out of (i) the maintenance, possession or use of the Equipment by Lessee, its employees, agents or any person invited, suffered or permitted by Lessee to use or be in, on or about the Equipment, including to the extent arising from Lessor’s negligence, (ii) Lessee’s failure to comply with any of the terms of the Lease, and (iii) any theft or destruction of, or damage to, the Equipment. If the foregoing obligations are not enforceable against Lessee under applicable law, Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all Claims to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Lessee shall make all payments due under this Section upon demand by Lessor.

13. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
(a) Each of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default": (1) default by Lessee in making any required payment to Lessor and the continuance of such default for ten (10) consecutive days; (2) default by Lessee in the performance of any obligation, covenant or liability contained in the Lease or any other agreement or document with Lessor and the continuance of such default for ten (10) days after written notice, thereof by Lessor to Lessee; (3) any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lessor by or on behalf of Lessee proves to have been false in any material respect when made or furnished; (4) loss, theft, damage, destruction or the attempted sale or encumbrance by Lessee of any of the Equipment, or any levy, seizure or attachment thereof or thereon; or (5) Lessee’s dissolution, termination of existence, discontinuance of business, insolvency, or business failure; or the appointment of a receiver of any part of, the assignment for the benefit of creditors by, or the commencement of any proceedings under any bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement laws by or against, Lessee. Lessee acknowledges that any Event of Default will substantially impair the lease value hereof. (b) REMEDIES OF LESSOR: Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and any time thereafter, Lessor may, without notice, exercise one or more of the following remedies, as Lessor, in its sole discretion shall elect: (1) declare all unpaid lease payments under the Lease to be immediately due and payable; (1) terminate the Lease as to any or all items of the Equipment; (2) take possession of the Equipment wherever found, and for this purpose enter upon any premises of Lessee and remove the Equipment, without any liability for suit, action or other proceedings by Lessee; (3) direct Lessee at its expense to promptly prepare the Equipment for pickup by Lessor; (4) use, hold, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Equipment or any item thereof on the site specified on the applicable Agreement or any other location without affecting the obligations of Lessee as provided in the Lease; (5) proceed by appropriate action either in law or in equity to enforce performance by Lessee of the terms of the Lease or to recover damages for the breach hereof; (6) apply the Security Deposit to payment of Lessor’s costs, expenses and attorney fees in enforcing the terms of the Lease and to indemnify Lessor against any damages sustained by Lessor (provided, however, nothing herein shall be construed to mean that the recovery of damages by Lessor shall be limited to the amount of the Security Deposit); (7) exercise any and all rights accruing to Lessor under any applicable law upon an Event of Default. In addition, Lessor shall be entitled to recover immediately as damages, and not as a penalty, a sum equal to the aggregate of the following: (i) all unpaid payments as are due and payable for any items of Equipment up to the date of repossession by Lessor; (ii) any expenses paid or incurred by Lessor in connection with the repossession, holding, repair and subsequent sale, lease or other disposition of the Equipment, including attorney’s fees and other reasonable costs and expenses; (iii) an amount equal to the excess of (a) all unpaid payments for any item of Equipment repossessed by Lessor from the date thereof to the end of the term of the Lease over (b) the fair market lease value of such item or items of Equipment for such unexpired lease period (provided however, that the fair market lease value shall be deemed to not exceed the proceeds of any sale of the Equipment or lease thereof by Lessor for a period substantially similar to the unexpired lease period); and (iv) the replacement cost of any item of Equipment which Lessee fails to prepare for return to Lessor as provided above or converts or is destroyed, or which Lessor is unable to repossess.

TITLE
Wetlands Edge Court Extension Project (TR22-0200) Budget Amendment

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu-on amending the FY2022-23 Capital Budget, increasing the Project Budget, and authorizing the Public Works Director to approve Contract Change Orders in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Project Budget in conjunc-on with the Wetlands Edge Court Extension Project (TR22-0200).

CONTACT
Erica Ahmann Smithies, P.E., Public Works Director/City Engineer Ron Ranada, P.E., Senior Civil Engineer

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The construc-on contract for the Wetlands Edge Court Extension Project (TR22-0200) (“Project”) was awarded to Argonaut Constructors (“Contractor”) on October 4, 2022. The Project includes the construc-on of approximately 300 LF of a 22’ wide asphalt pavement roadway, and 832 LF of storm drainpipe including associated inlets and manholes, and signage and striping improvements at Wetland Edge Court, north of Eucalyptus Drive.

The Contractor began construc-on on November 14, 2022. During potholing ac-vi-es, the Contractor iden-fied conflicts with exis-ng domes-c and reclaimed water mains for the installa-on of the new storm drain line. The proposed solu-on is to install ver-cal offsets to raise both water lines to provide adequate clearance for the new storm drain line. This was an unforeseen condi-on caused by field condi-ons that did not match the as-built drawings. The offsets were not included in the original scope of work bid by the Contractor.

Importantly, had the field condi-ons been accurately depicted by the as-built drawings, this work would s-ll be necessary. Staff requested the Contractor to provide a proposal for the addi-onal work. The Contractor submiAed a proposal (see AAachment #2) to make the necessary water main modifica-ons at cost of $103,687.33. Staff has reviewed the proposal and found it to reflect reasonable and customary costs for comple-ng the work. Staff also recommends increasing the contingency to provide for unanticipated construction costs. 42 Staff recommends the Council to amend the FY2022-23 Capital Budget to increase Project Budget and authorize the Public Works Director to approve Contract Change Orders in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Project Budget in conjunc-on with the Wetlands Edge Court Extension Project (TR22-0200).

COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Infrastructure: "Develop and maintain infrastructure resources to support sustainable growth."

FISCAL IMPACT
The FY 2022-23 Capital Budget currently provides for a Project Budget for the Wetlands Edge Court Extension Project (TR22-0200) in the amount of $464,860, u-lizing Funds 210 (Measure A) and Fund 212 (Gas Tax).

To fund the necessary modifica-ons to the domes-c and recycled water mains, staff recommends u-lizing Fund 210 (Measure A). Therefore, staff recommends amending the FY2022-23 Capital Budget as follows:

Budget Line Item Name Amount
210-85-450-48310 Transfer Measure A Fund $150,000
350-85-450-46110 Capital Outlay $150,000
Staff further recommends amending the Project Budget, increasing it as follows:

Source Current CIP Budget Proposed Amendment Revised Budget Fund 210, Measure A $319,120 $150,000 $469,120
Fund 212, Gas Tax $145,740 $0 $145,740
Total $464,860 $150,000 $614,860

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Wetlands Edge Court Extension Project (TR22-0200) is Categorically Exempt from CEQA per CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301(c) (Existing Facilities) and 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction).

Typically, Tripepi Smith prefers to have service providers bill the client directly to avoid additional administrative costs and because we have no economic interest in the service provider selection. If Tripepi Smith is asked to pay the bill for the client, we will apply a ten percent (10%) agency fee to the reimbursement expense. Typical services include, but are not limited to:

Print Costs: Tripepi Smith is happy to use a printer of the client’s choosing for print production work, or to recommend a printer with whom we have experience.

Digital Advertising: Tripepi Smith is a Google Partner and Constant Contact Solution Provider and has Facebook Certified staff. We consider digital platforms to be a cornerstone element of any outreach strategy; often this comes with digital advertising fees.

Media Placement: Tripepi Smith can help liaise on behalf of the City for advertising space within various mediums, such as newspapers, magazine or websites.

Voiceover, Translation and Closed Caption Fees: Tripepi Smith occasionally uses third-party resources to record voiceovers for videos, generate closed captions for videos, and for non-English language translations.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
On an annual basis, the City Clerk’s Office assures the city is following Government Code Sec2on 54970 (i.e., the “Maddy Act”). As required, the City Council reviews a list of all commission and commi<ee members who terms will expire during the coming year. The City Clerk is responsible for publishing and pos2ng a list of appointments each year in December. The list contains the names of all incumbents and iden2fies any terms that will expire during the next calendar year. The 2023 Local Commission and Commi<ee Appointments List will be posted at City Hall and on the city's website. The Maddy Act document is below as Attachment 1.

The City Clerk’s Office recruits for Planning, Parks & Community Services, and Open Space, Ac2ve Transporta2on and Sustainability Commissions every two years. On November 29, 2022, three Planning Commissioners, Davet Mohammed, Eric Altman and Brando Cruz were appointed to serve new 4-year terms ending on December 31, 2026.

On January 30, 2023, two Parks & Community Services Commissioners, Charles Plummer and David Garcia-Arriola were appointed to serve new 4-year terms ending on December 31, 2026.

On February 7, 2023, three former Open Space Advisory Commi<ee members, Nance Matson, Barry Chris2an and Sco< Ar2s were appointed to the new Open Space Ac2ve Transporta2on and Sustainability Commission. In order to align the recruitments with the staggered, even year city standard, their appointments will end December 31, 2024. On February 16, 2023, two Open Space, Ac2ve Transporta2on and Sustainability Commissioners, Tara McClinton-Horner and Sean Hughes, were for appointed to serve new 4-year terms ending December 31, 2026.

There are a few Napa County appointment opportuni2es for our ci2zens with terms expiring in 68 December 2023. Recruitments will be advertised at the appropriate time to fill the vacancies.

Brent Cooper, AICP, Community Development Director

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The proposed Giovannoni Logis0cs Center consists of up to 2.4 million square feet of high-cube warehouse on 163 acres of a 208-acre project site. Approximately 45-acres will remain open space for stormwater deten0on and wetlands preserva0on. The semi-rectangular project site is bounded by industrial development in the Green Island Business Park (west), the Napa Logis0cs Park and Devlin Road (north), the Napa Branch Line (east), and Green Island Road, a stone supply business, and a wine distribution warehouse (south). A location map is included as Attachment 0.0.

The project is anticipated to be developed in two phases. 72 Phase 1 Consists of two high cube warehouse buildings that comprise approximately 1.1 million square feet on approximately 70 acres east of Devlin Road.

Phase 2 Consists of approximately 1.3 million square feet of high cube warehouse on 113.1-acres west of Devlin Road.

Approximately 45 acres of the overall project site would be preserved as wetlands. A site plan is included as Attachment 0.1.

The underlying purpose of the Project is to develop industrially zoned land within the American Canyon city limits to its highest and best use. The objectives of the Proposed Project are to:

1. Promote economic growth in American Canyon by attracting new industries.

2. Promote development that generates net posi0ve tax revenues for the city by genera0ng more in new tax revenues than are consumed by City expenditures on services provided to the development.

3. Create new employment opportuni0es for residents of Napa County and the surrounding region.

4. Develop compa0ble land uses near the Napa County Airport in the interests of avoiding interference with aviation operations.

5. Improve American Canyon’s jobs-housing ratio by adding new employment opportunities.

6. Continue the orderly development of the Devlin Road corridor with a well-designed project.

7. Further the goals and policies of the City of American Canyon General Plan by developing land contemplated to support urban development to its highest and best use.

8. Preserve the most biologically sensitive portions of the project site as open space.

9. Install circula0on improvements along Green Island Road and Devlin Road that provide efficient ingress and egress to the Proposed Project while also ensuring these facili0es operate at acceptable levels.

10. Promote public safety by incorporating security measures into the project design.

11. Mi0gate impacts on the environment through implementa0on of feasible mi0ga0on measures.

The Project includes three Entitlements. They are:

1. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the entire 208-acre project;

2. A Design Permit for Phase 1 which includes two high cube warehouses that comprise nearly

1.07 million square feet; and

3. A Tentative Parcel Map to subdivide Phase 1 into two parcels.

On November 17, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and unanimously recommended City Council approval of each of the three en0tlements. The City Council is the final approval authority because the EIR requires a Statement of Overriding Considera0ons (see ACMC 73 Section 19.01.0060(D)).

On December 6, 2022, the City Council voted unanimously by all members present to con0nue the public hearing to February 21, 2023, and allow the Center for Biological Diversity un0l January 16, 2023, to comment on the proposed draft EIR.

Existing Conditions
The Giovannoni property was annexed into the City of American Canyon in 2005. At that 0me, this property along with other proper0es north of Green Island Road were pre-zoned for industrial use.

At 208-acres, the Giovannoni Logis0cs Center site is the largest undeveloped property within American Canyon designated for industrial land use.

The project site gently slopes from east to west and the eleva0on ranges from 50 feet to 35 feet above mean sea level. The project site contains undeveloped land. Vegeta0on consists primarily of non-na0ve grasslands, with seasonal wetlands and associated plant species scaIered throughout the site. The property has no on-site structures. Photographs of the site from 2021 are included as Attachment 0.2.

Devlin Road bisects the site north-to-south. Green Island Road, to the south will be improved within the next 12-18 months. Both Devlin Road and Green Island Road include an extension of the Vine Trail.

The headwaters of No Name Creek are located in the northwestern por0on of the site. No Name Creek flows into the Napa Logis0cs Park Wetland Preserve from the northwestern corner of the property. This drainage is hydrologically connected to Fagan Slough, which flows into the Napa River.

Although most of the Project Site is rela0vely flat, historic grazing and inunda0on in low topographic areas with scaIered depressions. As a result, there are small seasonal wetlands and swales scaIered throughout the site, most of which are supported by rainwater. Altogether, there are

11.93 acres of seasonal wetlands in the north and southwest corner of the site. These are regulated as “waters of the U.S.” pursuant to Sec0on 404 of the Clean Water Act and are subject to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) jurisdic0on. Aerial maps that depict Phase 1 wetland impacts and the proposed mitigation plan is shown on Attachment 0.3.

The Phase 2 site west of Devlin Road is bisected by the West Napa Fault in a northwest/southeast direc0on. The fault does not extend into the proposed Phase 1 Design Permit and Tenta0ve Parcel Map. A graphic depic0ng the approximate loca0on of the West Napa Fault and Regulatory Zone is included as Attachment 0.4.

An exis0ng 18-inch diameter force main crosses the western por0on of the project site between a Pump Sta0on on Tower Road and another Pump Sta0on on Green Island Road. Parallel wastewater 74 and recycled water pipelines were constructed through the Phase 2 project site in Spring 2021 to support the Napa Logis0cs Park. These pipelines link Napa Logis0cs Park to the north with the City’s Water Reclamation Facility to the south.

EIR Milestones
The EIR was circulated for public review for 60 days from May 20, 2022, to July 20, 2022. As noted above, the City Council allowed the Center for Biological Diversity un0l January 16, 2023, to comment on the proposed draO EIR. A copy of the DraO EIR and Appendices is included as Attachments 1. Exhibit A and B.

The city received comments on the DraO EIR. These comments were reviewed and a response to each comment was prepared. The Final EIR consists of the DraO EIR and Appendices (see AIachments 1. Exhibit A and B), Final EIR (AIachment 1. Exhibit C1 and C2), Facts and Findings (Attachment 1. Exhibit D), and the Mitigation and Monitoring Report (Attachment 1. Exhibit E).

ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT
Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires every project evaluate impacts on a range of environmental topics. Listed below are each of the environmental topics and the degree of impact caused by the Project:
1) No Significant Impact. The Project’s impact on following topic areas are Not Significant:

Agriculture and Forest Resources
Mineral Resources
Population and Housing
Recreation
Wildfire
State Scenic Highways
Septic or Alternative Wastewater Disposal Systems
Exposure of Schools to Hazardous Materials
Private Airstrips
Emergency Response or Evacuation Plan
Wildland Fire
An explana0on of the reasons why each issue is determined to be Not Significant is provided in EIR Chapter 7, Effects Found Not to be Significant. See Attachment 1. Exhibit A Giovannoni Draft EIR. 2) The project impacts are Less Than Significant. Changes to the project and/or feasible mi0ga0on measures lessen the impact to Less Than Significant. These topic areas include the following:

Aesthetics, Light, and Glare
75 Air Quality
Biological Resources
Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources
Geology, Soils, and Seismicity
Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Hydrology and Water Quality
Land Use
Noise
Public Services
Transportation
Utility Systems
An explana0on of the reasons why each issue is determined to be Less Than Significant is provided in EIR Chapter 3, Environmental Impact Analysis. See AIachment 1. Exhibit A Giovannoni DraO EIR.

Proposed Mi0ga0on Measures to reduce environmental impacts are summarized in the Mi0ga0on and Monitoring Report. See Attachment 1. Exhibit E Giovannoni MMRP. 3) The project creates a Significant and Unavoidable Impact. Changes to the project and/or feasible mi0ga0on measures lessen the impact, but the impact remains Significant and Unavoidable.

Significant and Unavoidable impacts are limited to Air Quality as described below:

Air Quality Management Plan: The Proposed Project would exceed regional emissions thresholds and, therefore, be inconsistent with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) regional air quality planning assump(ons. Proposed Mi(ga(on includes emission reduc(on measures; however, these measures would not lower impacts to a Less Than Significant level.

Therefore, the significance after mitigation is significant and unavoidable.

Cumulave Criteria Pollutant Emissions Impacts: The Bay Area region does not comply with federal or State air quality standards for certain air pollutants. The Proposed Project would cause a net increase of some of these criteria air quality pollutants. Even though the project would implement measures to reduce these pollutants though Mi(ga(on, it would not fully reduce this impact to a level of less than significant. Therefore, the significance a/er mi(ga(on is significant and unavoidable.

An explana0on of the reasons why these Air Quality impacts are Significant and Unavoidable is provided in EIR Chapter 3, Sec0on 3.2, Environmental Impact Analysis. See AIachment 1. Exhibit A Giovannoni Logistics Center Draft EIR.

Project Alternatives
CEQA requires an EIR evaluate alterna0ves to the Proposed Project that are poten0ally feasible and would aIain most of the basic project objec0ves while avoiding or substan0ally lessening the 76 project's poten0al impacts. Below is a summary of the alterna0ves to the Proposed Project considered in Chapter 5, Alterna0ves to the Proposed Project. See AIachment 1. Exhibit A - Giovannoni Logistics Center Draft EIR.

No Project/No Development Alternative
The Proposed Project would not be pursued, and the project site would remain undeveloped for the foreseeable future. This alternative would avoid all the Proposed Project’s significant impacts.

No Project/Existing General Plan Alternative
A 2.4 million square-foot food and beverage facility would be developed on the project site. The project boundaries would remain the same as the Proposed Project. This alterna0ve would increase the severity of all the Proposed Project’s significant impacts.

Reduced Density Alternative
A 1.6-million-square-foot logis0cs center would be developed on the project site, which represents a 25 percent reduc0on rela0ve to the Proposed Project. The layout and project boundaries would remain the same as the Proposed Project. This alterna0ve would lessen the severity of all the Proposed Project’s significant impacts.

Phase 1 Only Alternative
Phase 1 would be developed, which consist of 1.1 million square feet of high-cube warehouse on 95 acres. Phase 2 would not be pursued, and the remaining 113 acres of the project site would remain undeveloped. This alterna0ve would lessen the severity of all the Proposed Project’s significant impacts to the greatest extent. The Phase 1 Only Alterna0ve is the environmentally superior alternative.

Conclusion
The Phase 1 Only Alterna0ve would lessen the severity of, but would not avoid, the significant and unavoidable Air Quality and GHG emissions impacts associated with the Proposed Project.

Addi0onally, the severity of several significant impacts that can be reduced to Less Than Significant with mi0ga0on (e.g., biological resources, cultural resources, hydrology and water quality, and noise), would be further reduced by the Phase 1 Only Alternative.

The Project Applicant has a 100-year lease agreement with the Property Owner for the en0re 208- acre site. The Phase 1 Only Alterna0ve is problema0c because the Project Applicant would be unlikely to forgo development on approximately 113 acres (the Phase 2 por0on of the project site).

Moreover, the project site is the single largest undeveloped industrial zoned site in the City of American Canyon. Preserving 113 acres as a wetland preserve would not represent the highest and best use of the property, par0cularly since approximately 45 acres of the project site would be assigned for this use.

For reasons described above, staff does not recommend the environmentally superior Phase 1 Only 77 Alternative. Alterna0ves to the Proposed Project are more fully described in the DraO EIR, Chapter

5. See Attachment 1. Exhibit A Giovannoni Draft EIR.

Comments on the Draft EIR
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sec0on 15088, the City of American Canyon (City), as the lead agency, evaluated the comments received on the DraO EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2021010104) for the proposed Giovannoni Logis0cs Center Project (proposed project), and prepared responses to the comments received.

On October 31, 2022, the city released a document described as the (proposed) Final Environmental Impact Report (Final EIR) for the Giovannoni Logis0cs Center Project (proposed project). In issuing this document, City staff intended that, upon cer0fica0on by the American Canyon City Council, the document would become the official Final EIR for the proposed project.

On November 17, 2022, the Planning Commission considered the project en0tlements and recommended approval of all items (including cer0fica0on of the Final EIR) to the City Council (Resolution 2022-05).

Following the Planning Commission mee0ng; however, the City was made aware of public no0cing issues associated with the DraO Environmental Impact Report (DraO EIR), which was released for public review on May 20, 2022. In par0cular, a representa0ve of the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) claimed that CBD had submitted to City staff a request for notice of the availability of the Draft EIR at the 0me it was released for public review but had not received any such no0ce prior to, or at the time of, the May 20, 2022, release of the document.

Out of an abundance of cau0on, the city agreed to delay ac0on by the City Council on the project and EIR un0l such 0me as CBD had been given a full 45-day period in which to comment on the DraO EIR, consistent with the statutory time periods for such comments set forth in Public Resources Code Section 21091, subdivision (a).

Because no other person or en0ty claimed a similar lack of adequate no0ce on the DraO EIR, the City did not grant any other persons or en00es a similar 45-day period in which to provide official comments on the DraO EIR. Even so, prior to and during the period in which poten0al ac0on on the proposed project by the City Council was delayed to accommodate CBD, several government agencies and private organiza0ons submiIed to the City new or addi0onal comments on the proposed project, mainly focusing on the original (proposed) Final EIR issued on October 31, 2022.

Those comments are addressed in the Final EIR, although such written responses are not required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Because of the need to provide CBD a full 45-day period in which to comment on the DraO EIR, and subsequent comments submiIed by CBD on January 13, 2023, as well as comments received by several government agencies and private organiza0ons, the Final EIR document issued on October 78 31, 2022, now includes a Volume 2 of the Final EIR (February 3, 2023). The new Volume 2 of the Final EIR is organized into four sections:

Section 1–Introduction. Provides an introduction to the Final EIR Volume 2.

Sec0on 2–Master Responses. Provides a single, comprehensive response to similar comments about a par0cular topic. Where noted, the Master Responses contained in Final EIR Volume 2 supersede those in Final EIR Volume 1.

EIR Conclusion
A Statement of Findings has been prepared to document the project descrip0on, environmental review process, and substan0al evidence to support all the conclusions in the EIR. This evidence is contained in a list of Findings. See Attachment 1. Exhibit D Giovannoni FOF.

Phase 1 Design Permit
Buzz Oates LLC submiIed a Giovannoni Logis0cs Center Phase 1 Design Permit applica0on to develop two high-cube warehouse buildings totaling 1,069,904 square feet on 70.2-acres east of Devlin Road and north of Green Island Road.

Building A, located at 300 Green Island Road, is proposed to be 627,976 square feet; and Building B, located at 1200 Devlin Road is proposed to be 469,512 square feet. Both buildings would provide docks, grade level roll-up doors, and trailer parking stalls and enclosed with a secure perimeter.

Access would be restricted to authorized users. Building A building may be rail-served by the adjacent Napa Branch Line. A graphic depicting the site plan is included as Attachment 0.1 The building architecture meets the design and development principles set out in the General Plan 79 (Policy 1.22.4 and 1.22) and reflect a modern industrial look by providing architectural detailing around windows, building corners, parapet, and ar0culated sidings of the main entrance. The exterior concrete walls have score lines that break up the wall expanse. The ground floor eleva0on has storefront like windows that capture natural light.

The building design includes a tall parapet to screen rooOop structures and mechanical equipment.

A condi0on of approval requires adequate rooOop equipment screening verified at the 0me of building permit issuance and occupancy. Photosimula0ons of the building eleva0ons are included as Attachment 0.5.

The site is well landscaped, including trees throughout the parking areas and along the southern, western and northern edges of the site, and plan0ngs within the stormwater bio-reten0on area that runs along the northwest side of the site. There are clearly marked pedestrian routes in the parking lot leading to the front office of the building. A copy of the Preliminary Landscape Plan is included as Attachment 0.6.

Each building has safe access onto the adjacent roadway. The entrances are designed to separate big-rig trucks from passenger vehicles and the site plan has a driveway interconnec0on between the Building A and Building B site along the northern perimeter onto Devlin Road.

Building A has four entrances on Green Island Road. The western and eastern entrances are designed for big-rig trucks. The central two driveways are for passenger vehicles.

Building B has three entrances off Devlin Road. The northern and southern entrances are designed for big-rig trucks. The central driveway is for passenger vehicles.

The parking code requires ten bicycle racks for each building. The site plan shows bike lockers located adjacent to service doors at two loca0ons on the northern and southern sides of Building A.

On Building B, bike lockers are located next to the western eleva0on directly in line with the Devlin Road entrance. A second bike locker is located on the northeast elevation near the office entrance.

A table depic0ng compliance with General Industrial zoning standards for Building A (300 Green Island Road) and Building B (1200 Devlin Road) is included as AIachment 0.7. As shown on the table, all applicable General Industrial development standards have been met or exceeded.

Special Issues
a. Fire District Fiscal Impacts.

The applicant conducted a fiscal analysis that projected the Project would generate an annual Fire District opera0ng deficit of $158,000. The applicant and the Fire District reached a mutual agreement to supplement financing over the long term. The Memorandum of Understanding between the American Canyon Fire Protec0on District and Buzz Oats, LLC was approved by the Fire 80 District Board on October 22, 2022 (Resolution 2022-29).

A condi0on of approval requires the Applicant to form a Mello-Roos Community Facili0es District or similar public financing mechanism (CFD) on full legal parcels that are a part of the Project prior to City issuance of the first building permit. This same condi0on is included in the Tenta0ve Parcel Map except the threshold is prior to recorda0on of the map, or city issuance of the first building permit, whichever occurs first.
b. Traffic Monitoring.

The Giovannoni EIR projected trip genera0on from the project to equal 240 vehicles in the AM peakhour and 264 vehicles in the PM peak-hour. To ensure actual traffic volumes are no more than the EIR assump0on, the Design Permit includes two condi0ons of approval that require the Applicant to enter into a Recorded a Transporta0on Demand Management (TDM) Program Agreement (“TDM Agreement”) prior to issuance of the first building permit. Modelled aOer the Napa Logis0cs Park Phase 2 TDM Program, the applicant may include a variety of trip reduc0on measures including offpeak hour workday shiOs, car sharing, transit subsidies, and so on. If these are not successful, the Applicant would be required to pay an addi0onal amount for each and every peak-hour trip recorded by the coun0ng device that exceeds the TDM threshold, equal to the latest adopted Traffic Impact Fee (“TIF”) program in effect at the time.
c. Water Conservation
As a part of ongoing water conserva0on efforts in the commercial sector, the City of American Canyon adopted a Zero Water Footprint policy. Also known as ZWF, the primary goal of this policy is there will be no loss in reliability or increase in water rates for exis0ng water service customers due to new demand for water within the City’s water service area.

To meet the ZWF standards, Developers must ensure that all new developments offset the amount of increased potable water that will be consumed by their project on a one-to-one basis. There are several ways to meet ZWF requirements. During the development process, the City and Developer work in partnership with each other to iden0fy the most appropriate ZWF methods for offseTng the increase in potable water consumption. At a minimum, water conservation measures include:

Water efficient fixtures
Install water wise landscaping and irrigation
Dual plumb the buildings to use recycled water for non-potable uses Once the Developer has refined their plan to minimize potable water needs, the City and Applicant evaluates the project’s water footprint and the proposed potable water offset through these potential programs:

Contribu0ng to the City’s exis0ng conserva0on programs, including our popular Cash-forGrass turf conversion program, toilet retrofits, and similar community-wide programs. 81 Elimina0ng an exis0ng public use of potable water by conver0ng it to recycled water, such as city park and landscaping irrigation.

Construc0ng or funding city capital projects that directly result in reduced demand for potable water or increased capacity to produce recycled water, including but not limited to replacing leaking main lines, replacing inefficient water meters, and treatment improvements at the water reclamation facility.

Contribu0ng toward the expansion of the City’s reclaimed water system by extending the purple pipeline to locations not currently served by recycled water.

Acquiring water supply from another source.

The Giovannoni Logis0cs Center has a condi0on of approval requiring the project to comply with the ZWF policy and to dual plumb toilets to use recycled water. d. Water Supply Assessment
A Water Supply Assessment (WSA) for the Giovannoni Logis0cs Center Project was prepared by Balance Hydrologics Inc. in conjunc0on with the EIR (see EIR Appendix I, AIachment 1.J). The WSA (dated September 21, 2021), prepared in accordance with Water Code Sec0on 10910, (a) iden0fies the City of American Canyon as the public water supplier for the proposed development; (b) compares the an0cipated water demands of the Giovannoni Logis0cs Center Project with the projected demands assumed in the City's most recent 2015 Urban Water Management Plan; and (c) assesses whether the City's water system can meet the projected water demand of the Giovannoni Logis0cs Center Project in addi0on to exis0ng and planned future uses over a 20-year projected time frame.

The WSA concludes that the Project will use less potable water over the long-term than was assumed in the demand analysis in the City's Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) for the project site (133.3 afy less). In addi0on, compliance with the city's Zero Water Footprint policy would offset the Project's potable demand through offsite implementa0on of project-funded water conserva0on measures of up to 23.9 afy. The citywide supply/demand analysis in this WSA an0cipates sufficient supply in all normal years, but shorUalls in water supply during dry-year scenarios in 2035 and 2040, consistent with the analysis in the 2015 UWMP. The WSA is included as Appendix I in the Draft EIR. See Attachment 1. Exhibit B Giovannoni EIR Appendices.

American Canyon was released a Final 2020 UWMP on January 18, 2023. This planning update included revised projec0ons of City-wide available supply and demand, based on updated water usage and availability numbers, revised planning guidance contained within the 2020 UWMP Guidebook (issued by DWR in March 2021), and adjusted es0mates of popula0on and other growth within the City.

In general, the UWMP update resulted in projected decreases in both water supply and demand, when compared year-to-year to the projec0ons contained within the 2015 UWMP. Balance Hydrologics, Inc. reviewed the 2020 UWMP. The 2020 UWMP concluded that even with a lower 82 projected demand and even less available supply than that projected in the 2015 UWMP, American Canyon has available addi0onal supply through the purchase of “supplemental imported water through exis0ng agreements through the planning horizon (2045) for all water year scenarios” to overcome potential drought-scenario shortfalls through the 2045 planning period.

As detailed in the WSA, the Giovannoni Project is an0cipated to use up to 24 acre-feet per year (‘afy’) of potable water and 82 afy of recycled water (aOer full development of the project site). The updated projec0ons of Commercial/Industrial/Ins0tu0onal (C/I/I) demand in the 2020 UWMP, while less than that projected in 2015, could s0ll accommodate the increase in potable demand associated with the Project. As a result, the Giovannoni Project WSA is consistent with Water Code sec0on 10910—because the City has sufficient water to serve the Project, in addi0on to the City’s exis0ng and planned future uses (including agricultural and manufacturing uses) during normal, single-dry, and mul0ple-dry water years during the next 20-year 0me period. A copy of the Balance Hydrologics, Inc. review of the 2020 UWMP is included as Appendix Q in FEIR, Volume 2. See Attachment 1. Exhibit C2.
e. Greenhouse Gas Reduction Methods
The Giovannoni EIR includes five mi0ga0on measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The first mitigation measure MM GHG-1a includes ten ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from project construc0on. These range from no vola0le organic compound (VOC) paints, local building material suppliers, use of electric construction equipment, and so on.

The other four measures reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ongoing building opera0on. MM GHG 1e requires the Applicant to provide the city with documenta0on (e.g., site plans) demonstra0ng to the City’s sa0sfac0on that the electricity demand will be supplied with 100 percent carbon-free electricity sources through the Year 2045. This requirement is necessary to satisfy prior to the issuance of any building permit for the Proposed Project.

The Design Permit implements MM GHG-1e with the use of on-site solar panels. On-site solar electricity has the advantage of not requiring use of unreliable PG&E distribu0on lines. Furthermore, there is significant concern that adap0ng to a carbon free future will strain exis0ng supplies of carbon free electricity. Genera0ng electricity on-site helps grow the supply of carbon- free electricity, not draw from limited existing sources.
f. Lot Line Adjustment
An exis0ng parcel line cuts through the proposed Building A western parking lot from Green Island Road to the proposed bioswale north of Building A. For a variety of legal reasons and zoning setback requirements, it is important to reconfigure parcel lines to reflect the proposed site plan. A graphic depic0ng the exis0ng parcel line is included as AIachment 0.8. It is labelled “Lands of Right from the Start” APN 057-130-036.

Design Permit Conclusion
83 Staff recommends the City Council approve the Design Permit as shown in Attachment 2.

Tentative Subdivision Map
Buzz Oates LLC submiIed a Giovannoni Logis0cs Center Phase 1 Tenta0ve Parcel Map to create a two-lot parcel map north of Green Island Road, and east of Devlin Road for up to 1,069,904 square feet of high-cube warehouse buildings (the proposed project). Lot 1, located at 300 Green Island Road, comprises 38.36 acres, and Lot 2 located at 1200 Devlin Road comprises 31.44 acres.

Both parcels are specifically designed to accommodate the proposed warehouse buildings shown in the Design Permit applica0on. Each parcel has its own parking and access, so they could operate independently from each other.

Parcel Sizes
The Light Industrial zoning district requires a minimum parcel size of 40,000 square feet. Both Lot 1 and 2 greatly exceed this minimum standard with 38.36 acres, and 31.44 acres, respectively.

Infrastructure
As shown on the Tenta0ve Parcel Map plans, the subdivision has been designed to accommodate stormwater and u0li0es. The condi0ons of approval (See AIachment 3) provide addi0onal instructions on infrastructure development and impact fee payments.

Giovannoni Logistics Park EIR Mitigation Measures
As required for the Design Permit, the Tenta0ve Map also includes applicable mi0ga0on measures from the Giovannoni Logistics Park EIR.

Fire District Financing Agreement
As required for the Design Permit, the Tenta0ve Map also includes a requirement for the Applicant shall form a Mello-Roos Community Facili0es District or similar public financing mechanism (CFD) on full legal parcels that are a part of the Project in accordance with ACFPD Agreement 2022-29. A copy of Agreement 2022-29 is included with the Tenta0ve Map Resolu0on as Exhibit C (See Attachment 3).

Tentative Parcel Map Conclusion
Staff recommends the City Council approve the Tentative Parcel Map as shown in Attachment 3.

COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Economic Development and Vitality: "AIract and expand diverse business and employment opportunities."

FISCAL IMPACT
Processing the Project's En0tlements is funded by the applicant to eliminate a General Fund 84 subsidy. Development of the project will generate ongoing tax revenues and indirect economic development from addi0onal employees. Costs will increase from providing municipal services i.e.:
road maintenance, emergency services. Specific fiscal impacts will vary dependent upon the ultimate site users at the property.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Commission recommends the City Council cer0fy that the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH# 2021010104) has been completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and adequately reflects the City’s independent judgement and analysis regarding the poten0al environmental impacts associated with the Giovannoni Logis0cs Center Project, and: (i) approve a Water Supply Assessment, (ii) Cer0fy the Final Environmental Impact Report (SCH #2021010104), (iii) Adopt CEQA Findings of Fact, (iv) Adopt a Statement of Overriding Considera0ons, and (v) Adopt a Mi0ga0on Monitoring and Repor0ng Program for the Giovannoni Logis0cs Center Project located north of Green Island Road and bisected by Devlin Road, APN 057-090-008, 057-130-034, 057-130-036 (File No. PL 20-0042) ATTACHMENTS:

WHEREAS, for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code, Sections 21000 et seq.) and the CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.) (“CEQA”), the City is the lead agency for the Project; and
WHEREAS, the City released the Draft EIR for public comment for an anticipated 45-day review period to commence on Friday, May 20, 2022, and to end at 4:00 PM Tuesday, July 5, 2022; and WHEREAS,the City subsequently provided an updated Appendix A (NOP comment letters) and an updated Appendix C (additional supporting biological resource studies), and extended the public comment period by 15 days to July 20, 2022, to allow public agencies and interested parties a total of 62 days to review and submit comments on the Draft EIR; and
WHEREAS, on June 23, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted a publicly-noticed workshop to discuss the Giovannoni Logistics Center Draft EIR; and
WHEREAS, on October 31, 2022, the City issued a document entitled, Final Environmental Impact Report for the Giovannoni Logistics Center Project, which included, among other information, responses to all significant environmental issues raised in timely comments on the Draft EIR; and WHEREAS, on November 17, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted a duly-noticed public hearing to evaluate the Giovannoni Logistics Center Project and the proposed Final EIR and determined that based on all of the evidence presented, including, but not limited to, written and oral testimony given at meetings, it is appropriate to recommend that the City Council certify the Final EIR as adequate to address environmental impacts associated with the Giovannoni Logistics Center Project, adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the Project, and adopt the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; and
WHEREAS, on December 1, 2022, Community Development Director Brent Cooper and the City Council received by email a letter from Hallie Kutak, Staff Attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD), in which Ms. Kutak stated that, on February 9, 2021, April 25, 2022, and May 12, 2022, CBD had requested that the City provide CBD with notice of availability of the Draft EIR, but that CBD had never received such notice; and
98 WHEREAS, Ms. Kutak suggested that “[a]t a minimum, the City should postpone the City Council’s hearing to consider and approve the project for at least 45 days from the date of this letter” (i.e., until January 15, 2023); and
WHEREAS, on December 2, 2022, City Attorney William D. Ross responded to the letter from Ms. Kutak, confirming that the City had inadvertently failed to provide the notice requested by CBD, and stating that City staff would therefore recommend to the City Council that CBD be given until January 16, 2023, to submit to the City comments on the Draft EIR, and that City Council delay its consideration of the merits of the Giovannoni Logistics Center Project then scheduled for December 6, 2022, until February 21, 2023; and
WHEREAS, on December 6, 2022, the City Council conducted a duly-noticed public hearing to evaluate the Giovannoni Logistics Center Project and Final EIR but, rather than take action on the Project that evening, chose to continue the public hearing to February 21, 2023, in order to allow CBD the opportunity to comment on the proposed draft EIR until January 16, 2023, consistent with the suggestion made by Ms. Kutak in her letter; and
WHEREAS, because CBD had not received proper notice of the availability of the Draft EIR, but no other party was known to be in a similar situation, the City Council did not extend the same opportunity for additional time to comment on the Draft EIR to any other organization, individual, or agency; and WHEREAS, on January 13, 2023, CBD submitted to the City by email extensive written comments on the Draft EIR, consisting of 27 pages of text supported by an additional eight pages of references; and WHEREAS, on January 18, 2023, the City released the Final 2020 UWMP for American Canyon; and WHEREAS, on February 10, 2023, the City issued Volume 2 of the Final EIR for the Giovannoni Logistics Center Project, which augmented but did not replace or supersede the ostensible “Final EIR” previously issued by the City on October 31, 2022, which was now recharacterized as Volume 1 of the Final EIR; and WHEREAS, Volume 2 responded to all significant environmental issues raised in CBD’s comments on the Draft EIR, and also responded to additional correspondence the City had received between November 2022 and mid-January 2023 from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Napa/Solano Residents for Responsible Development, Friends of the Swainson’s Hawk, Raptors Are The Solution (RATS), and Napa Solano Audubon Society; and
WHEREAS, because this post-Draft EIR correspondence from entities other than CBD did not constitute timely commentary on the Draft EIR, the City was under no legal obligation to provide written responses to such correspondence, but chose to do so in the spirit of transparency and to make clear to the correspondents that the City took their input and recommendations seriously; and WHEREAS, Volume 2 of the Final EIR also included new technical information prepared by Balance Hydrologics addressing whether the conclusions of the WSA remained valid in light of (i) the City Council’s adoption on September 6, 2022 (via Resolution 2022-84) of an amendment to the City’s 2015 UWMP to demonstrate compliance with Policy WR P1 (Reduce Reliance on the Delta Through Improved Regional Water Self -Reliance) of the Delta Plan adopted by the Delta Stewardship Council and (ii) the City’s 2020 UWMP; and
WHEREAS, this new technical information concluded that neither the City Council’s adoption of Resolution 2022-84 nor the 2020 UWMP provided any basis for altering the conclusion from the WSA that the City’s 99 water system can meet the projected water demand of the Giovannoni Logistics Center Project in addition to existing and planned future uses over a 20-year projected time frame; and WHEREAS, CEQA Guidelines section 15090 requires that, prior to approving a proposed project for which a final EIR has been prepared, a lead agency’s decision making body must certify that: (1) the final EIR has been completed in compliance with CEQA; (2) the final EIR was presented to the decision-making body of the lead agency, and the decision-making body reviewed and considered the information contained in the final EIR prior to approving the project; and (3) the final EIR reflects the lead agency‘s independent judgment and analysis; and
WHEREAS, prior to approving a proposed project for which a final EIR has identified significant environmental effects, a lead agency’s decision making body is required, pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21081, subdivision (a), and CEQA Guidelines section 15091, to adopt findings demonstrating that the decision making body has considered and adopted all feasible mitigation measures or feasible project alternatives that can substantially lessen or avoid any significant project-related environmental effects (“CEQA Findings of Fact”); and
WHEREAS, prior to approving a proposed project with significant environmental effects that cannot feasibly be reduced to a less-than-significant level through the adoption of mitigation measures or project alternatives, a lead agency’s decision making body is required by Public Resources Code section 21081, subdivision (b), and CEQA Guidelines section 15093 to adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations identifying the benefits of the project that, in the decisionmakers' minds, justify approval of the project notwithstanding those significant, unavoidable environmental effects; and WHEREAS, prior to approving a project that requires the adoption of feasible mitigation measures to substantially lessen or avoid significant environmental effects, a lead agency’s decision-making body is required by Public Resources Code section 21081.6, subdivision (a), to adopt a mitigation monitoring and reporting program to ensure that the mitigation measures adopted by the lead agency are carried out; and
WHEREAS, on February 21, 2023, the City Council conducted a duly-noticed public hearing to evaluate the Giovannoni Logistics Center Project and Final EIR (Volumes 1 and 2) and determined that based on all of the evidence presented, including, but not limited to, written and oral testimony given at meetings, it is appropriate to certify the Final EIR (Volumes 1 and 2) as adequate to address environmental impacts associated with the Giovannoni Logistics Center Project, to adopt CEQA Findings of Fact and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the Project, and to adopt the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Purpose
This Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) is prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with the implementation of the Giovannoni Logistics Center Project (State Clearinghouse No. 2021010104). This document is prepared in conformance with CEQA (Public Resources Code [PRC] § 21000, et seq.) and the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations [CCR], Title 14, § 15000, et seq.).

The purpose of this Draft EIR is to inform decision-makers, representatives of affected and responsible agencies, the public, and other interested parties of the potential environmental effects that may result from implementation of the proposed project. This Draft EIR describes potential impacts relating to a wide variety of environmental issues and methods by which these impacts can be mitigated or avoided.

Project Summary
Project Location
The 208-acre project site is located in the City of American Canyon, Napa County, California. The semi-rectangular project site is bounded by industrial development in the Green Island Business Park (west), the Napa Logistics Park and Devlin Road (north), the Napa Branch Line (east), and Green Island Road, a stone supply business, and a wine distribution warehouse (south).

Project Description
The proposed project consists of the development of up to 2.4 million square feet of high-cube warehouse on 163 acres of the project site. Phase 1 consists of approximately 1.1 million square feet on the eastern portion of the project site. Phase 2 consist of approximately 1.3 million square feet on the western portion of the project. Approximately 45 acres of the project site would be preserved as wetlands. The applicant would extend the Napa Valley Vine Trail along the project frontage with Devlin Road and Green Island Road. Section 2, Project Description, provides a complete description of the project.

Project Objectives and Underlying Purpose
The underlying purpose of the proposed project is to develop industrially zoned undeveloped land within the American Canyon city limits to its highest and best use.

The objectives of the proposed project are to:

1. Promote economic growth in American Canyon by attracting new industries. 118
City of American Canyon— Giovannoni Logistics Center Project Executive Summary Draft EIR
ES-2 FirstCarbon Solutions
https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/5460/54600001/EIR/2 - Screencheck EIR/wp/54600001 Sec00-03 Exec Summary.docx

2. Promote development that that generates net positive tax revenues for the City by generating more in new tax revenues than are consumed by City expenditures on services provided to the development.

3. Create new employment opportunities for residents of Napa County and the surrounding region.

4. Develop compatible land uses near the Napa County Airport in the interests of avoiding interference with aviation operations.

5. Improve American Canyon’s jobs-housing ratio by adding new employment opportunities.

6. Continue the orderly development of the Devlin Road corridor with a well-designed project.

7. Further the goals and policies of the City of American Canyon General Plan by developing land contemplated to support urban development to its highest and best use.

8. Preserve the most biologically sensitive portions of the project site as open space.

10. Promote public safety by incorporating security measures into the project design.

11. Mitigate impacts on the environment through implementation of feasible mitigation measures.

Significant Unavoidable Adverse Impacts
The proposed project would result in the following significant unavoidable impacts:
• Consistency With Air Quality Management Plan: The proposed project would result in exceedances of regional emissions thresholds and, therefore, be inconsistent with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) regional air quality planning assumptions.

Mitigation is proposed requiring the implementation of feasible emissions reduction measures; however, these measures would not reconcile this inconsistency. Therefore, the significance after mitigation is significant and unavoidable. • Cumulative Criteria Pollutant Emissions Impacts: The proposed project would result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of criteria pollutants for which the project region is nonattainment under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard. Mitigation is proposed requiring the implementation of air emissions reduction measures, but it would not fully reduce this impact to a level of less than significant. Therefore, the significance after mitigation is significant and unavoidable.

Below is a summary of the alternatives to the proposed project considered in Section 5, Alternatives to the Proposed Project.

No Project/No Development Alternative
The proposed project would not be pursued, and the project site would remain undeveloped for the foreseeable future. This alternative would avoid all of the proposed project’s significant impacts.

No Project/Existing General Plan Alternative
A 2.4 million square-foot food and beverage facility would be developed on the project site. The project boundaries would remain the same as the proposed project. This alternative would increase the severity of all of the proposed project’s significant impacts.

Reduced Density Alternative
A 1.6-million-square-foot logistics center would be developed on the project site, which represents a 25 percent reduction relative to the proposed project. The layout and project boundaries would remain the same as the proposed project. This alternative would lessen the severity of all of the proposed project’s significant impacts.

Phase 1 Only Alternative
Phase 1 would be developed, which consist of 1.1 million square feet of high-cube warehouse on 95 acres. Phase 2 would not be pursued, and the remaining 113 acres of the project site would remain undeveloped. This alternative would lessen the severity of all of the proposed project’s significant impacts to the greatest extent. The Phase 1 Only Alternative is the environmentally superior alternative.

Areas of Controversy and Potentially Controversial Issues Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15123(b), a summary section must address areas of controversy known to the lead agency, including issues raised by agencies and the public, and it must also address issues to be resolved, including the choice among alternatives and whether or how to mitigate the significant effects.

A Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the proposed project was issued on January 12, 2021. The NOP describing the original concept for the project and issues to be addressed in the EIR was distributed to the State Clearinghouse, responsible agencies, and other interested parties for a 30-day public review period extending from January 12, 2021, through February 10, 2021. During the NOP review period, the following issues were raised in comments submitted to the City of American Canyon:
• Health effects on disadvantaged communities from diesel emissions • Housing for project employees
• Climate change
• Impacts on nearby vernal pools

If no nesting Swainson’s hawk are found during the first non-optional survey period starting March 20, then project construction may commence. If during the third surveys (April 5–April 20) Swainson’s hawk are found to be nesting in the project vicinity and construction has commenced, it shall be assumed the Swainson’s hawk commenced nesting and thus that the Swainson’s hawk are habituated to the ambient level of noise and disturbance emanating from the project site.

If Swainson’s hawk are found to be nesting within 1,000 feet of the project site, a non-disturbance buffer shall be established to keep all construction activities a minimum of 1,000 feet from the nest site. The CDFW shall be consulted regarding the adequacy of the buffer established by the qualified Raptor Biologist. At that time the necessity for acquiring a Fish and Game Section 2081 Incidental Take Permit (ITP) authorization would be determined. An ITP authorization shall be required if there is a valid concern the project activities would result in the “take” of an adult Swainson’s hawk, eggs, or nestlings.

No disturbance such as construction or earthmoving activity shall occur within the established buffer zone until it is determined by a qualified Raptor Biologist that the young have fledged or the nesting cycle is complete based on monitoring of the active nest by a qualified Biologist.

MM BIO-1b: No more than 30 days prior to the first ground disturbance activity, pre-construction golden eagle nesting surveys shall be conducted in the project site vicinity. Pre-construction surveys shall include investigation of all potential nesting trees within a 0.5-mile radius around all project activities. If active golden eagle active nests are identified within any trees within a 0.5-mile radius of the project site, a qualified Raptor Biologist shall establish a protection buffer at a minimum of 1,000 feet that is adequate to ensure noise or activity from the proposed project would not cause nest disturbance or young or adult bird mortality. Buffer zones may vary in size as some golden eagles are more acclimated to disturbance than others. Size 126

MM BIO-1c: Prior to ground disturbance, a pre-construction nesting survey shall be conducted for northern harrier if construction is scheduled during the nesting season (February 1 through September 1). To determine whether northern harrier is nesting on-site, a qualified Raptor Biologist(s) shall conduct walking transects through the project site grassland habitat searching for nests. An active northern harrier nest must be protected by implementing a minimum 500-foot radius buffer zone around the nest marked with orange construction fencing. If an active nest is located outside of the project site, the buffer shall be extended onto the project site and demarcated where it intersects the project site. Size of buffer zone could be modified considering the type of construction activity that may occur, physical barriers between the construction site and active nest, and the behavioral factors and extent that northern harrier may have acclimated to disturbance. No construction or earthmoving activity shall occur within the established buffer zone until it is determined by a qualified Raptor Biologist that the young have fledged or that the nesting cycle is otherwise determined to be complete based on monitoring of the active nest by a qualified Biologist.

MM BIO-1d: Prior to any ground disturbance, pre-construction surveys for burrowing owl shall be conducted. The pre-construction surveys shall be conducted within 2 weeks prior to the onset of any ground-disturbing activities.

1. Preserve 7.58 acres of existing seasonal wetlands and 0.13 acre of vernal pools within the 45-acre Wetland Preserve.

2. Establish within the Wetland Preserve approximately 0.992 acre of seasonal wetlands in advance of or concurrent with implementation of Phase 1 impacts to 0.496 acre of palustrine emergent wetlands at a 2:1 ratio.

3. Establish within the Wetland Preserve approximately 2.57 acres of seasonal wetlands and 1.13 acres of vernal pools in advance of implementation of future Phase 2, assuming Phase 2 is built out, to address the potential maximum losses of approximately 3.7 acres of wetlands that may occur.

4. Provide financial assurances to ensure a high level of confidence that the compensatory mitigation shall be successfully completed, in accordance with applicable performance standards.

5. Design ecological performance standards to assess whether the Wetland Mitigation and Monitoring Plan is achieving the overall objectives, so that it can be objectively evaluated to determine whether it is developing into the desired resource type (vernal pool, seasonal wetland e.g.), and attaining any other applicable metrics such as acres, number of native plant species, water saturation and/or ponding depth etc.

6. Monitor the site for a duration necessary to determine whether the Wetland Mitigation and Monitoring Plan is meeting the performance standards. Established palustrine emergent wetlands and vernal pools typically develop quickly on soils with clay restrictive horizon. The 45-acre Wetland Preserve does have a clay restrictive layer approximately 8–18 inches below the surface therefore a 5-year monitoring period would be sufficient to determine whether performance standards are met. This monitoring period may be extended if performance standards are not met due to how the wetlands were constructed or natural events such as severe droughts.

7. Protect the approximately 45-acre Wetland Preserve in perpetuity using a conservation easement, and provide an endowment sufficient to fund the Long-Term Management Plan.

8. An overall assessment of the condition of the wetlands that shall be permanently impacted by the proposed project shall be conducted using the California Rapid Assessment Method (CRAM) for depressional 131

Each similar wetland type that may be impacted shall be assessed to describe the floristic community and record the native and non-native dominant plants within the vernal pool and palustrine emergent wetlands. Physical structure such as topographic complexity and physical features that may provide habitat for aquatic species (e.g., boulders, woody debris etc.) shall be recorded and used to design the created/established wetlands. The purpose of this assessment is to ensure the design of the wetlands shall provide habitat that is similar to the wetlands being impacted to ensure the impacted wetlands are mitigated in-kind.

Impact BIO-4: The proposed project could interfere
substantially with the movement of any native resident
or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or
impede the use of wildlife nursery sites.

MM BIO-4: If construction occurs during the breeding season of migratory and resident birds (February 1 to August 31), a qualified Biologist shall conduct a pre-construction breeding bird survey in areas of suitable habitat within 15 days prior to the onset of construction activity. Nesting bird surveys shall cover the proposed project footprint and adjacent areas. If bird nests are found, appropriate buffer zones shall be established around all active nests to protect nesting adults and their young from direct or indirect impacts related to project construction disturbance. Size of buffer zones shall be determined per recommendations of the qualified Biologist based on-site conditions and species involved. At a minimum a 1,000-foot buffer shall be established for nesting Swainson’s hawk and golden eagle; 500-foot buffer for nesting northern harriers; 250-foot buffer for nesting accipiters; and minimum 50-foot buffers shall be established for nesting passerines and all other non-raptor or passerine nesting birds. Buffer zones shall be maintained until it can be documented that either the nest has failed, or the young have fledged.

Less than significant impact.

Impact BIO-5: The proposed project would not conflict
with any local policies or ordinances protecting
biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance.

No mitigation is necessary. Less than significant impact.

substantial adverse change in the significance of an
archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5.

MM CUL-2a: No ground disturbance shall take place within 100 feet of informal archaeological resource 483A-001. The resource shall be preserved in place.

MM CUL-2b: An Archaeologist who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for archaeology shall be present on-site during all earth disturbing activities. If prehistoric or historic-period archaeological resources are encountered, all construction activities within 100 feet of the find shall halt and the City of American Canyon shall be notified. Prehistoric archaeological materials may include obsidian and chert flaked stone tools (e.g., projectile points, knives, scrapers) or toolmaking debris; culturally darkened soil (“midden”) containing heataffected rocks, artifacts, or shellfish remains; and stone milling equipment (e.g., mortars, pestles, hand stones, or milling slabs); and battered stone tools, such as hammerstones and pitted stones. Historic-period materials might include stone, concrete, or adobe footings and walls; filled wells or privies; and deposits of metal, glass, and/or ceramic refuse.

The Archaeologist shall inspect the findings within 24 hours of discovery. If it is determined the project could damage a historical resource or a unique archaeological resource (as defined pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines), mitigation shall be implemented in accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21083.2 and Section 15126.4 of the CEQA Guidelines, with a preference for preservation in place. Consistent with Section 15126.4(b)(3), this may be accomplished through planning construction to avoid the resource; incorporating the resource within open space; capping and covering the resource; or deeding the site into a permanent conservation easement. If avoidance is not feasible, a qualified Archaeologist shall prepare and implement a detailed treatment plan in consultation with the City of American Canyon. Treatment of unique archaeological resources shall follow the applicable requirements of Public Resources Code Section 21083.2. Treatment for most resources would consist of (but would not be limited to) sample excavation, artifact collection, site documentation, and historical research, with the aim to target the recovery of important scientific data contained in the portion(s) of the significant resource to be impacted by the proposed project. The treatment plan shall include provisions for analysis of data in a regional context, reporting of results Less than significant impact.

human remains, including those interred outside of
formal cemeteries.

MM CUL-3: In the event of the accidental discovery or recognition of any human remains, CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5, Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, and Public Resources Code Sections 5097.94 and Section 5097.98 shall be followed. If project construction, there is accidental discovery or recognition of any human remains, the following steps shall be taken:

1. There shall be no further excavation or disturbance within 100 feet of the remains until the County Coroner is contacted to determine whether the remains are Native American and if an investigation of the cause of death is required. If the Coroner determines the remains to be Native American, the Coroner shall contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) within 24 hours, and the NAHC shall identify the person or persons it believes to be the Most Likely Descendant (MLD) of the deceased Native American. The MLD may make recommendations to the landowner or the person responsible for the excavation work within 48 hours, for means of treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human remains, and any associated grave goods as provided in Public Resource Code Section 5097.98.
2 Where the following conditions occur, the landowner or authorized representative shall rebury the Native American human remains and associated grave goods with appropriate dignity either in accordance with the recommendations of the MLD or on the project site in a location not subject to further subsurface disturbance:
• The NAHC is unable to identify an MLD or the MLD failed to make a recommendation within 48 hours after being notified by the commission.
• The descendant identified fails to make a recommendation. • The landowner or authorized representative rejects the recommendation of the descendant, and mediation by the NAHC fails to provide measures acceptable to the landowner.

The applicant may develop a plan with respect to their respective individual development proposals for treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human remains, and any items associated with Native American Burials with the appropriate Native Americans as identified by the NAHC.

Impact CUL-4: The proposed project may cause a
substantial adverse change in the significance of a Tribal Cultural Resource.

MM CUL-4: A Tribal Monitor representing the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation shall be present during all project-related ground disturbance. Additionally, the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation’s Treatment Protocol (Protocol) shall be followed with respect to Tribal Cultural Resources (TCRs). The purpose of the protocol is to formalize procedures for the treatment of Native American human remains, grave goods, ceremonial items, and items of cultural patrimony, if any are found in conjunction with development, including archaeological studies, excavation, geotechnical investigations, grading, and any ground-disturbing activity. This Protocol also formalizes procedures for Tribal Monitoring during archaeological studies, grading, and ground-disturbing activities.

1. Cultural Affiliation: The Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation (Tribe) traditionally occupied lands in Yolo, Solano, Lake, Colusa, and Napa Counties. The Tribe has designated its Cultural Resources Committee (Committee) to act on the Tribe's behalf with respect to the provisions of this Protocol.

Any human remains which are found in conjunction with projects on lands culturally affiliated with the Tribe shall be treated in accordance with Section III of this Protocol. Any other cultural resources shall be treated in accordance with Section IV of this Protocol.

2. Inadvertent Discovery of Native American Human Remains: Whenever Native American human remains are found during the course of a project, the determination of Most Likely Descendant (MLD) under California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 will be made by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) upon notification to the NAHC of the discovery of said remains at a project site.

Should the NAHC determine that a member of an Indian tribe other than Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation is the MLD, and the Tribe agrees with this determination, the terms of this Protocol relating to the treatment of such Native American human remains shall not be applicable; however, that situation is very unlikely.

3. Treatment of Native American Remains: In the event that Native American human remains are found during development of a project and the Tribe or a member of the Tribe is determined to be MLD pursuant to Section II of this Protocol, the following provisions shall apply. The Medical Examiner shall immediately be notified, ground-disturbing activities in that location shall cease and the Tribe shall be allowed, pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98(a), to (1) inspect the site of the discovery and (2) make determinations as to how the human remains and grave goods shall be treated and disposed of with appropriate dignity. The Tribe shall complete its inspection and make its MLD recommendation within 48 hours of getting access to the site. The Tribe shall have the final determination as to the disposition and treatment of human remains and grave goods. Said determination may include avoidance of the human remains, reburial on-site, or reburial on tribal or other lands that will not be disturbed in the future. The Tribe may wish to rebury said human remains and grave goods or ceremonial and cultural items on or near the site of their discovery, in an area which will not be subject to future disturbances over a prolonged period of time. Reburial of human remains shall be accomplished in compliance with the California Public Resources Code Sections 5097.98(a) and (b).

The term "human remains" encompasses more than human bones because the Tribe’s traditions call for the burial of associated cultural items with the deceased (funerary objects), and/or the ceremonial burning of Native American human remains, funerary objects, grave goods, and animals. Ashes, soils, and other remnants of these burning ceremonies, as well as associated funerary objects and unassociated funerary objects buried with or found near the Native American remains are to be treated in the same manner as bones or bone fragments that remain intact.

4. Non-Disclosure of Location of Reburials: Unless otherwise required by law, the site of any reburial of Native American human remains shall not be disclosed and will not be governed by public disclosure requirements of the California Public Records Act, California Government Code Section 6250 et seq. The Medical Examiner shall withhold public disclosure of information related to such reburial pursuant to the specific exemption set forth in California Government Code Section 6254(r). The Tribe will require that the location for reburial is recorded with the California Historic Resources Inventory System (CHRIS) on a form acceptable to the CHRIS center. The Tribe may also suggest the landowner enter into an agreement regarding the confidentiality of site information that will run with title on the property.

5. Treatment of Cultural Resources: Treatment of all cultural items, including ceremonial items and archaeological items will reflect the religious beliefs, customs, and practices of the Tribe. All cultural items, including ceremonial items and archaeological items, which may be found at a project site shall be turned over to the Tribe for appropriate treatment, unless ordered by a court or agency of competent jurisdiction.

The project proponent shall waive any and all claims to ownership of Tribal ceremonial and cultural items, including archaeological items, which may be found on a project site in favor of the Tribe. If any intermediary, (for example, an Archaeologist retained by the project proponent) is necessary, said entity or individual shall not possess those items for longer than is reasonably necessary, as determined solely by the Tribe.

6. Inadvertent Discoveries: If additional significant sites or sites not identified as significant in a project environmental review process, but later determined to be significant, are located within a project impact area, such sites will be subjected to further archaeological and cultural significance evaluation by the project proponent, the Lead Agency, and the Tribe to determine whether additional mitigation measures are necessary to treat sites in a culturally appropriate manner consistent with CEQA requirements for mitigation of impacts to cultural resources. If there are human remains present that have been identified as Native American, all work will cease for a period of up to 30 days in accordance with Federal Law.

1.1 - Overview of the CEQA Process
This Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) is prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with the implementation of the proposed Giovannoni Logistics Center Project (proposed project) (State Clearinghouse No. 2021010104). This document is prepared in conformance with CEQA (California Public Resources Code [PRC], § 21000, et seq.) and the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations [CCR], Title 14, § 15000, et seq.). This Draft EIR is intended to serve as an informational document for the public agency decision-makers and the public regarding the proposed project.

1.1.1 - Overview
The proposed project consists of the development of up to 2.4 million square feet of high-cube warehouse on 208-acre project site. Phase 1 consists of approximately 1.1 million square feet on the eastern portion of the project site. Phase 2 consist of approximately 1.3 million square feet on the western portion of the project. Approximately 45 acres of the project site would be preserved as wetlands. The applicant would also extend the Napa Valley Vine Trail along the project frontage with Devlin Road and Green Island Road. Section 2, Project Description, provides a complete description of the project.

1.1.2 - Purpose and Authority
This Draft EIR for the proposed Giovannoni Logistics Center Project is a combination of a project EIR and a program EIR. The Draft EIR provides a project-level analysis of the environmental effects of Phase 1 and programmatic analysis for Phase 2 of the Project.

The project-level analysis for Phase 1, consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15161, provides sufficient detail to allow for approvals of all needed approvals and permitting for, as well as construction of, Phase 1 without any need for additional environmental review, provided that future project changes or changed circumstances do not trigger the need for some sort of subsequent environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 through 15164 (subsequent EIR, supplement to an EIR, or addendum to an EIR).

The programmatic level of analysis for Phase 2 has been prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15168. Under Section 15168(c), “[l]ater activities in the program must be examined in the light of [a] program EIR to determine whether an additional environmental document must be prepared.” Two general outcomes are possible: the later activity may be found to be “within the scope of the project covered by the program EIR,” in which case “no new environmental document would be required;” or such a finding cannot be made and a new project-specific Mitigated Negative Declaration or EIR would be required, depending on the severity of the effects of the later activity.

Section 15168(c)(4) directs that “[w]here the later activities involve site specific operations, the agency should use a written checklist or similar device to document the evaluation of the site and 148

Section 15168(c)(2) provides that “[i]f the agency finds that pursuant to Section 15162, no subsequent EIR would be required, the agency can approve the activity as being within the scope of the project covered by the program EIR, and no new environmental document would be required.

Whether a later activity is within the scope of a program EIR is a factual question that the lead agency determines based on substantial evidence in the record. Factors that an agency may consider in making that determination include, but are not limited to, consistency of the later activity with the type of allowable land use, overall planned density and building intensity, geographic area analyzed for environmental impacts, and covered infrastructure, as described in the program EIR.” For any later activity covered in whole or in part in the program EIR, “[a]n agency shall incorporate feasible mitigation measures and alternatives developed in the program EIR into later activities in the program” (CEQA Guidelines Section 15168(c)(2)).

This document addresses the potentially significant adverse environmental impacts (both projectlevel and programmatic) that may be associated with the planning, construction, or operation of the proposed project. It also identifies appropriate and feasible mitigation measures and alternatives that may be adopted to significantly reduce or avoid these impacts.

CEQA requires that an EIR contain, at a minimum, certain specific elements. These elements are contained in this Draft EIR and include:
• Table of Contents
• Executive Summary
• Introduction
• Project Description
• Environmental Setting, Significant Environmental Impacts, and Mitigation Measures • Cumulative Impacts

This Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) analyzes the potential environmental effects of the proposed Giovannoni Logistics Center Project (proposed project) in American Canyon.

2.1 - Project Location and Setting

2.1.1 - Location
The 208-acre project site is located in the City of American Canyon, in Napa County, California; refer to Exhibit 2-1. The semi-rectangular project site is bounded by industrial development in the Green Island Business Park (west), the Napa Logistics Park and Devlin Road (north), the Napa Branch Line (east), and Green Island Road, a stone supply business, and a wine distribution warehouse (south); refer to Exhibit 2-2. The project site is located on the Cuttings Wharf, California, United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute Topographic Quadrangle Map, Township 4 North, Range 4 West, Sections 13 and 14 (Latitude 38° 11’ 50” North; Longitude 122° 15’ 36” West).

2.1.2 - Existing Conditions
The project site contains undeveloped land; there are no structures on-site. Vegetation consists primarily of non-native grasslands, with seasonal wetlands and associated plant species scattered throughout the site. The project site gently slopes from east to west and the elevation ranges from 50 feet to 35 feet above mean sea level. The headwaters of No Name Creek are located in the northwestern portion of the site. No Name Creek flows off the site at the northwestern corner of the property into the Napa Logistics Park Wetland Preserve. The drainage is hydrologically connected to Fagan Slough, which flows into the Napa River. The majority of wetlands that occur throughout the site are supported by direct precipitation. Small soil mounds are located in various places throughout the site.

The West Napa Fault bisects the project site in a northwest/southeast direction. An existing 18-inch diameter force main that connects the Tower Road Pump Station with the Green Island Pump Station crosses the western portion of the project site.

The City of American Canyon owns an approximately 8-acre strip of land that bisects the site northto-south. This strip of land would support the planned extension of Devlin Road from Middleton Way to Green Island Road, which was under construction as of Summer 2021.

Pursuant to the approval of the Napa Logistics Park Phase 2 EIR, parallel wastewater and recycled water pipelines were constructed through the project site via jack-and-bore technologies in Spring 2021. The pipelines link Napa Logistics Park to the north with the City’s Water Reclamation Facility to the south.

Photographs of the project site are provided in Exhibit 2-3. 156

2.1.3 - Surrounding Land Uses
West
The California Northern Railroad line connecting American Canyon and Sonoma and the Biagi Brothers distribution warehouse form the western boundary of the project site.

North
Devlin Road and the Napa Logistics Park form the northern boundary of the project site. Napa Logistics Park contains more than 2 million square feet of distribution warehouses as well as a planned Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) regional operations and maintenance center.

Further north is the Napa County Airport.

East
The Napa Branch Line, a railroad that connects American Canyon and Napa, forms the eastern boundary of the project site. East of the branch line are several industrial and commercial businesses that front State Route (SR) 29.

South
Green Island Road, Crown Hill Stone Supply, and the Wine Direct warehouse form the southern boundary of the project site. Further south are industrial and commercial businesses within the Green Island Business Park.

2.1.4 - Land Use Designations
The project site is designated “Industrial” by the City of American Canyon General Plan and zoned “General Industrial.” The project site is within the boundaries of the Napa County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan.

2.2 - Project History

2.2.1 - Giovannoni Property
Historic topographic maps indicate that the Giovannoni Property has been undeveloped since at least the early 20th Century. The property was annexed into the City of American Canyon in 2005 when the City pre-zoned the site for industrial use. It is the largest undeveloped property designated for industrial land use activities within the American Canyon city limits.

2.2.2 - Napa Logistics Park
The approximately 218-acre Napa Logistics Park property is immediately north of the Giovannoni project site and has been through several rounds of entitlements.

In 2009, Napa County approved the entitlements for Phase 1 of the Napa Logistics Park. These entitlements included a use permit, tentative parcel map, and development agreement for a 646,000-square-foot warehouse on 38 acres of the project site. In 2011, the City of American Canyon 157

The Napa Logistics Park applicant completed the Phase 1 warehouse in 2016 and the building is used as an IKEA customer fulfillment center.

In 2015, the American Canyon City Council certified the Napa Logistics Park Phase 2 EIR and approved entitlements including a use permit, vesting tentative subdivision map, design permits, engineering design exceptions, and a development agreement. The EIR contemplated the development of a 2.27-million-square-foot logistics center on 173 acres of the project site.

In 2017, the Napa Logistics Park applicant requested, and the City of American Canyon approved, the extension of the term of the development agreement to 10 years. The Napa Logistics Park applicant subsequently received design permits for two warehouses (702,000 square feet and 363,000 square feet); the warehouses were developed and are tenanted by Biaggi Bros and Amazon, respectively.

The final developable parcel was acquired by PG&E for the development of the Napa Regional Center, a maintenance and operations facility.

2.2.3 - Napa Airport Corporate Center
The approximately 50-acre Napa Airport Corporate Center property is northeast of the Giovannoni project site and has been through several rounds of entitlements.

In 2018, the American Canyon City Council certified the Napa Airport Corporate Center EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2014122005) and approved entitlements including a use permit, vesting tentative subdivision map, design permits, engineering design exceptions, and a development agreement. The EIR contemplated the development of a 550,000-square-foot business park on the 50-acre project site. The EIR included an option for a fuel station/convenience store/quick serve restaurant in lieu of a warehouse on one of the parcels.

In 2017, prior to the approval of the Napa Airport Corporate Center entitlements, the Napa Vallejo Waste Management Authority (NVWMA) acquired a 15-acre parcel from the property owner. In 2020, the NVWMA Board of Directors approved the development of an enclosed Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Facility on approximately 9 acres of the parcel. The NVWMA processed an Addendum to the Napa Airport Corporate Center EIR.

2.2.4 - Devlin Road and Napa Valley Vine Trail Extension Project The City of American Canyon adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (State Clearinghouse No. 2018122031) for the Devlin Road and Napa Valley Vine Trail Extension Project on October 1, 2019.

The project consisted of the extension of Devlin Road from Green Island Road to Middleton Way (Napa Logistics Park) and associated construction of the Napa Valley Vine Trail along this roadway segment. The extended roadway would have one 14-foot travel lane in each direction and a 12-foot two-way left turn lane. A roundabout would be located at the intersection of Devlin Road/Boone Road. A three-way stop would control the Devlin Road/Green Island Road intersection. The majority of the 3,084-foot segment would be located within the Giovannoni Property.

The City of American Canyon’s Circulation Element contemplates the completion of Devlin Road between Green Island Road and Middleton Way (Segment H). The improvement is programmed into 158

The City has been collecting fees from new development projects to pay for Segment H and it is fully funded. The applicant previously dedicated an approximately 8-acre strip of land to the City of American Canyon for this extension. Construction began in Summer 2021.

2.2.5 - Green Island Road Reconstruction and Widening Project The City of American Canyon adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (State Clearinghouse No. 2019089082) for the Green Island Road Reconstruction and Widening Project on October 1, 2019.

The project consisted of improvements to a 1.86-mile segment of Green Island Road between SR-29 and a cul-de-sac and include the following:
• Addition of a two-way left turn center lane on Green Island Road (0.80 mile). • Construction of the Napa Valley Vine Trail Class I bicycle/pedestrian path along the north side of Green Island Road.
• Installation of curb, gutter, and sidewalks at several locations along the roadway corridor. • Improvement the structural section on the internal roads within existing curb and gutter. • Reconstruction and improvement of the two at-grade railroad crossings. • Relocation of existing overhead utilities to a new underground joint trench. • Installation of light-emitting diode (LED) street lighting.

The City was awarded funding from the United States Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration to pay for the proposed improvements.

2.3 - Project Characteristics

2.3.1 - Project Summary
The applicant, Buzz Oates LLC, is proposing to develop a 2.4-million-square-foot logistics center on approximately 163 acres of the approximately 208-acre project site. The remaining 44.8 acres would be preserved as open space/wetland preserve.

The applicant has developed design-level site plans for Phase 1 of the proposed project, which includes a 94.7-acre area east of the Devlin Road extension. This area will support two high-cube warehouse buildings totaling 1,069,904 square feet. One of the buildings would be rail-served by the adjacent Napa Branch Line. Each building would provide docks, grade level roll-up doors, and trailer parking stalls. The facility would be enclosed with a secure perimeter and access would be restricted to authorized users.

Phase 2 of the proposed project would occur on a 113.1-acre area west of Devlin Road. This area is conceptually proposed for the remaining 1.3 million square feet of high-cube warehouse. Phase 2 would commence once Phase 1 is completed. Accordingly, this environmental document evaluates Phase 1 at a project level and Phase 2 at a program level of analysis.

2.3.2 - Devlin Road Extension
As previously discussed, the City of American Canyon is extending Devlin Road approximately 3,084 linear feet from Green Island Road to Middleton Way (Napa Logistics Park). The Devlin Road extension is fully funded, the environmental review process was completed in 2019, and construction began in 2021. As such, the Devlin Road extension would be completed prior to Phase 1 of the proposed Giovannoni Logistics Center Project.

The City’s Sewer Master Plan contemplates a new 21-inch diameter gravity sewer line that would follow the planned extension of Devlin Road. At Green Island Road, the sewer line would continue west to the new Green Island Pump Station. Once operational, the existing 18-inch diameter force main would be abandoned, along with the Tower Road Pump Station.

The project applicant would construct the Napa Valley Vine Trail segment along the project frontage with Devlin Road frontage.

2.3.3 - Green Island Road Improvements
As previously discussed, the City of American Canyon would improve Green Island Road along the project frontage. The roadway would be widened to provide a two-way left turn lane and half width improvements would be installed along the project frontage, including the Napa Valley Vine Trail.

The new Green Island Road/Devlin Road intersection would provide turn lanes. The project applicant would dedicate right-of-way to the City for the Green Island Road widening. The Green Island Road improvements are fully funded, and the environmental review process was completed in 2019. As such, the Green Island Road improvements may be completed prior to Phase 1 of the proposed Giovannoni Logistics Center Project. The project applicant would construct the Napa Valley Vine Trail segment along the project frontage with Green Island Road. 160

2.3.4 - Vehicular Access
Vehicular access to Phase 1 would be provided via four driveways on Green Island Road and four driveways on Devlin Road. Two driveways on each road would be dedicated for truck access and the remaining two would be dedicated for passenger vehicle access. Reciprocal access would be provided between the two Phase 1 warehouses.

Vehicular access to Phase 2 would occur from both Green Island Road and Devlin Road.

2.3.5 - Parking
Off-street parking spaces for Phase 1 would include standard stalls for passenger vehicles and 55- foot-long stalls for empty truck trailers. Table 2-2 summarizes the assignment of parking spaces by building.

2.3.6 - Open Space Preservation
The applicant proposes to establish an Open Space Wetland Preserve (Preserve) to conserve and manage vernal pool and other wetland and grassland resources (including foraging habitat for Swainson’s hawk and other birds of prey) in perpetuity; and to offset wetland impacts associated with the proposed project, and additional wetland impacts that may occur in the future as part of the possible development of a second phase of the project (referred to herein as the “Phase 2”), as described in more detail in the Biological Resource section of the Draft EIR, below.

The preserve is proposed to consist of approximately 44.8 acres on the northern portion of the site (Section 3.3, Biological Resources, Exhibit 3.3-4). This area coincides with the portion of the project site where No Name Creek meanders and would create a contiguous open space area with approximately the adjoining 37-acre Napa Logistics Park Wetland Preserve.

The project proposes to establish a conservation easement held by a third-party conservation entity.

Additionally, a resource agency approved Wetland Preserve Interim and Long-term Management Plan would be prepared and implemented, which would include monitoring, and the requirement to establish an adequate endowment fund to support in perpetuity conservation and management of the biological resources of the Preserve.

2.3.7 - Storm Drainage
The proposed project would provide 110,766 square feet (2.6 acres) of storm drainage retention onsite. A network of underground piping ranging from 12 to 48-inches in diameter would convey runoff to bioretention and detention basins in the northern portion of the property.

2.3.8 - Utilities
Water
The City of American Canyon would provide potable water and recycled water service to the proposed project. Potable and recycled water infrastructure would be installed within the Devlin Road extension. Service laterals would extend from water lines within Green Island Road and Devlin Road to project buildings.

Wastewater
The City of American Canyon would provide wastewater collection and treatment service to the proposed project. Sewer infrastructure would be installed within the Devlin Road extension. Service laterals would extend from sewer lines within Green Island Road and Devlin Road to project buildings.

Electricity and Natural Gas
Marin Clean Energy would procure, and PG&E would deliver electricity to the proposed project.

PG&E would procure and deliver natural gas to the proposed project. Electric and natural gas infrastructure would be installed within the Devlin Road extension. Service laterals would extend from facilities within Green Island Road and Devlin Road to project buildings.

2.3.9 - Grading and Earthwork
Rough grading would require 139,500 cubic yards of cut and 146,900 cubic yards of fill. Utility and development spoils would require 2,000 cubic yards of cut. In total, there would be 141,500 cubic yards of cut and 146,900 cubic yards of fill. Thus, there would be a need for 5,400 cubic yards of fill to be imported to the project site.

2.3.10 - Design and Appearance
Architecture
The warehouse buildings would be of Type VB construction, site cast, tilted concrete panels with a variety of architectural enhancements. The typical wall panels would be enhanced with reveals and a textured elastomeric, multicolored coating system. The areas around the building entries would also be enhanced with tinted glazing in aluminum frames with overhead steel-framed painted canopies.

The placement of these enhancements would be focused on those locations most visible from the public roadways. Exhibit 2-5 depicts the conceptual building renderings. 162

The Draft EIR is intended to address all future development and public infrastructure improvements that are within the parameters of the proposed project.

This Draft EIR is a combination of a project EIR and a program EIR. The Draft EIR provides a projectlevel analysis of the environmental effects of Phase 1 and programmatic analysis for Phase 2 of the Project.

The programmatic level of analysis for Phase 2 has been prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15168. Under Section 15168(c), “[l]ater activities in the program must be examined in the light of [a] program EIR to determine whether an additional environmental document must be prepared.” Two general outcomes are possible: the later activity may be found to be “within the scope of the project covered by the program EIR,” in which case “no new environmental document would be required;” or such a finding cannot be made, and a new project-specific Mitigated Negative Declaration or EIR would be required, depending on the severity of the effects of the later activity.

Section 15168(c)(4) directs that “[w]here the later activities involve site specific operations, the agency should use a written checklist or similar device to document the evaluation of the site and the activity to determine whether the environmental effects of the operation were within the scope of the program EIR.”
Section 15168(c)(2) provides that “[i]f the agency finds that pursuant to Section 15162, no subsequent EIR would be required, the agency can approve the activity as being within the scope of the project covered by the program EIR, and no new environmental document would be required.

2.5.1 - Discretionary and Ministerial Actions
Discretionary approvals and permits are required by the City of American Canyon for implementation of the proposed project. The project application would require the following discretionary approvals and actions, including:

Organization of Issue Areas
This Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) provides analysis of impacts for those environmental topics where it was determined in the Notice of Preparation, or through subsequent analysis, that the proposed project would result in “potentially significant impacts.” Sections 3.1 through 3.13 discuss the environmental impacts that may result with approval and implementation of the proposed project.

Issues Addressed in this Draft EIR
The following environmental issues are addressed in Chapter 3:
• Aesthetics, Light, and Glare
• Air Quality
• Biological Resources
• Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources
• Geology, Soils, and Seismicity
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy
• Hazards and Hazardous Materials
• Hydrology and Water Quality
• Land Use
• Noise
• Public Services
• Transportation
• Utilities and Service Systems
Level of Significance
Determining the severity of project impacts is fundamental to achieving the objectives of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 requires that decisionmakers mitigate, as completely as is feasible, the significant impacts identified in the Final EIR. If the EIR identifies any significant unmitigated impacts, CEQA Guidelines Section 15093 requires decisionmakers, approving a project, to adopt a statement of overriding considerations that explains why the benefits of the proposed project outweigh the adverse environmental consequences identified in the EIR.

The level of significance for each impact examined in this Draft EIR was determined by considering the predicted magnitude of the impact against the applicable threshold. Thresholds were developed using criteria from the CEQA Guidelines and checklist; State, federal, and local regulatory schemes; local/regional plans and ordinances; accepted practice; consultation with recognized experts; and other professional opinions.

3.1 - Aesthetics, Light, and Glare

3.1.1 - Introduction
This section describes the existing aesthetics, light, and glare setting and potential effects from project implementation on visual resources and the site and its surroundings. Descriptions and analysis in this section are based on-site reconnaissance by FirstCarbon Solutions (FCS), as well as review of the City of American Canyon General Plan.

3.1.2 - Environmental Setting
Visual Character
Regional Setting
American Canyon, population 20,837, is located in southern Napa County between the east bank of the Napa River and the Sulfur Springs Mountains foothills. State Route (SR) 29—known locally as Broadway Street—bisects the City from north to south and serves as the primary commercial corridor. Residential uses are generally located in the southern portion of the City, with commercial and industrial uses located in the northern portion near the Napa County Airport. American Canyon is characterized by a contemporary, low-rise, suburban appearance, with most development having occurred within the last 40 years.

Project Site
The approximately 208-acre project site contains undeveloped land. There are no structures on-site.

Vegetation consists of grasses and weeds. The project site gently slopes from east to west and the elevation ranges from 50 feet to 35 feet above mean sea level. The headwaters of No Name Creek are located in the northwestern portion of the site. No Name Creek flows off the site at the northwestern corner of the property into the Napa Logistics Park wetland preserve. Small soil mounds are located in various places throughout the site.

The City of American Canyon owns an approximately 8-acre strip of land that bisects the site north to south. This strip of land would support the planned extension of Devlin Road from Middleton Way to Green Island Road, which was under construction as of Summer 2021.

Chapter 2, Project Description, Exhibit 2-3 provides site photographs.

Surrounding Land Uses
West
The California Northern Railroad line, connecting American Canyon and Sonoma, and the Biagi Brothers distribution warehouse form the western boundary of the project site. The project site has unobstructed views of the railroad tracks and warehouse.

The project site has unobstructed views of Napa Logistics Park and partial views of the airport.

South
Green Island Road, Crown Hill Stone Supply, and the Wine Direct Warehouse form the southern boundary of the project site. Further south are industrial and commercial businesses in the Green Island Business Park. The project site has unobstructed views of the businesses along the road.

Light and Glare
The project site does not currently contain any sources of light and glare. Parking lot lights that employ full cut-off fixtures are present at the adjoining Wine Direct Warehouse along Green Island Road. Surrounding developed land uses including the Napa Logistics Park, the Wine Direct Warehouse, and the Biagi Brothers distribution warehouse have exterior lighting for safety and security purposes.

3.1.3 - Regulatory Framework
Local
City of American Canyon
General Plan
The City of American Canyon General Plan sets forth the following goals, objectives, and policies relevant to aesthetics, light, and glare:

Goal 1B Provide for the orderly development of American Canyon that maintains its distinctive character.

Goal 1C Create a pattern and character of land use development that establishes American Canyon as a distinct “place” differentiated from adjacent urban areas, maintains a semi-rural character, and respects the environmental setting.

Objective 1.4 Provide for a pattern of development that (a) establishes distinct neighborhoods, districts, places of community activity and culture and open spaces that are interlinked and promote a cohesive image, (b) locates jobs, commerce, recreation, and other places of community activity within close proximity to all housing units, minimizing the need for vehicular use, (c) achieves a balance of uses to serve both sides of Highway 29, and (d) establishes an overall compact urban form surrounded by open space.

Policy 1.22.4 Require that development be designed to achieve a high level of quality and compatibility with existing uses including the consideration of the following:
a. Architectural treatment of all building elevations;
b. Use of extensive landscape along the primary street frontages and parking lots; and
c. Enclosure of storage areas visible from principal highways (including Highway 29) and peripheral residential and commercial districts with decorative screening or other elements.

Policy 1.22.5 Require that industrial areas developed as research and development and officeoriented business parks be designed to convey a unified character by consideration of Policy 1.22.4 and the following:
a. Inclusion of pedestrian walkways, arcades, and/or other visual elements to interconnect individual buildings;
b. Differentiation of building facades by materials, color, architectural details and modulation of building volumes;
c. Incorporation of extensive landscape in parking areas, along building frontages, and other public areas;
d. Use of consistent and well-designed public and informational signage; and e. Installation of elements that define the key entries to the industrial district.

3.1.4 - Methodology
FCS evaluated potential aesthetics, light, and glare impacts through site reconnaissance conducted in February 2021, as well as review of the City of American Canyon General Plan and project plans.

3.1.5 - Thresholds of Significance
Appendix G to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines is a sample Initial Study Checklist that includes questions for determining whether impacts to aesthetics are significant. These questions reflect the input of planning and environmental professionals at the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the California Natural Resources Agency based on input from stakeholder groups and experts in various other governmental agencies, nonprofits, and leading environmental consulting firms. As a result, many lead agencies derive their significance criteria from the questions posed in Appendix G. The City has chosen to do so for this project. Thus, the proposed project would have a significant effect related to aesthetics if the proposed project would:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista. 184

(Refer to Section 7, Effects Found not to be Significant.)
c) In non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings. (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point).
d) In an urbanized area, conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality.
e) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area.

3.1.6 - Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures
This section discusses potential impacts associated with the development of the project and provides mitigation measures where appropriate.

Scenic Vistas
Impact AES-1: The proposed project would not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista.

Impact Analysis
Phases 1 and 2
The approximately 208-acre project site contains undeveloped land. There are no structures on-site.

A scenic vista is defined as a viewing point that provides expansive views of a highly valued landscape available to the general public. Scenic resources are defined as those landscape patterns and features that are visually or aesthetically pleasing and that, therefore, contribute positively and define a distinct community or region. Neither the City of American Canyon nor the Napa County General Plan identifies the project site as a scenic vista or scenic resource. Additionally, the project site does not contain any scenic vistas or features associated with scenic vistas (e.g., ridgelines, peaks, overlooks), nor are any such views visible from the project site.

The project site is located in a portion of the City of American Canyon that is generally not visible from park and recreational areas, community gathering facilities, or residential areas. There are no prominent long-distance views of the project site, and, as such, the proposed project would not have the potential to obstruct views from high vantage points or sensitive viewpoints of the City.

In summary, the proposed project would not adversely affect views to or from a scenic vista. Impacts would be less than significant.

Less than significant impact.

Mitigation Measures
No mitigation is necessary.

Level of Significance After Mitigation
Less than significant impact.

Visual Character
Impact AES-2: The proposed project would notsubstantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings.

Impact Analysis
The approximately 208-acre project site contains undeveloped land. There are no structures on-site.

The project vicinity includes Napa Logistics Park, the Green Island Business Park, two railroad lines, and the Napa County Airport. Generally, the project vicinity can be characterized as an active, contemporary industrial area.

Phase 1
Phase 1 consists of the development of 1,069,904 square feet of high-cube warehouse on 94.7 acres of the eastern portion of the project site. Two warehouse buildings would be developed (627,976 square feet and 469,512 square feet). The larger building would be rail-served by the adjacent Napa Branch Line. Both buildings would provide docks, grade-level roll-up doors, and trailer parking stalls.

The facility would be enclosed with a secure perimeter.

The high-cube warehouse buildings would be of Type VB construction, site cast, tilted concrete panels with a variety of architectural enhancements. The typical wall panels would be enhanced with reveals and a textured elastomeric, multicolored coating system. The roof would support mechanical equipment for the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system screened with a roof parapet and/or with roof screens equal in height to the mechanical equipment. The areas around the building entries would also be enhanced with tinted glazing in aluminum frames with overhead steel-framed painted canopies. The placement of these enhancements would be focused at those locations most visible from the public roadways. Chapter 2, Project Description, Exhibit 2-5 depicts the building renderings.

The Phase 1 warehouses would be similar in appearance to the structures in the neighboring Napa Logistics Park and the Green Island Business Park.

These are the most significant aesthetic features on the project site.

Phase 2
Phase 2 would support up to 1.3 million square feet of high-cube warehouse on 113.1 acres of the western portion of the project site. Phase 2 is conceptual and no design-level plans have been prepared at the time of this writing. It would be expected that the Phase 2 buildings would be similar in appearance to the Phase 1 buildings.

Conclusion
Although the development of the proposed project would fundamentally and irreversibly change the visual character of the project site, it would be compatible with surrounding uses and consistent with the City of American Canyon General Plan land use designation of “Industrial” for the project site. Therefore, the proposed project would not substantially degrade the visual quality of the project area or its surroundings, and the impact related to changed character would be considered less than significant.

Level of Significance Before Mitigation
Less than significant impact.

Mitigation Measures
No mitigation is necessary.

Level of Significance After Mitigation
Less than significant impact.

Light and Glare
Impact AES-3: The proposed project may create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area.

Impact Analysis
Phases 1 and 2
The project site does not currently contain any sources of light and glare. Parking lot lights that employ full cut-off fixtures are present in the adjoining Wine Direct Warehouse along Green Island Road. Nearby developed land uses, including Napa Logistics Park and the industrial uses south of Green Island Road, have exterior lighting for safety and security purposes.

The development of the proposed project would result in the installation of new sources of light and glare on the project site. These new sources of light include additional street lighting along internal roadways, building-mounted light fixtures, and pole-mounted light fixtures within parking areas.

Additionally, illuminated signage may be employed. Mitigation Measure (MM) AES-3 requires the project applicant to prepare and submit a photometric plan to the City of American Canyon for review and approval to demonstrate that all exterior light fixtures would be directed downward or employ full cut-off fixtures to minimize light spillage and avoid interference with aviation operations 187

Downward-directed lighting and full cut-off fixtures would prevent the trespass of light and glare onto neighboring properties or conflict with aviation operations. With the implementation of this mitigation measure, potential light and glare impacts would be reduced to a level of less than significant.

Level of Significance Before Mitigation
Potentially significant impact.

Mitigation Measures
MM AES-3 Prior to issuance of building permits for the proposed project, the project applicant shall prepare and submit a photometric plan to the City of American Canyon for review and approval which demonstrates that all exterior light fixtures would be directed downward or employ full cut-off fixtures to minimize light spillage and avoid interference with aviation operations at the Napa County Airport. The approved plan shall be incorporated into the proposed project.

Level of Significance After Mitigation
Less than significant impact.

3.2 - Air Quality

3.2.1 - Introduction
This section describes existing air quality conditions regionally and locally as well as the relevant regulatory framework. This section also evaluates the possible impacts related to air quality that could result from the implementation of the project. The information included in this section is based on project-specific air quality modeling results utilizing California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) Version 2020.4.0, the American Meteorological Society (AMS)/United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regulatory Model (AERMOD) air dispersion model (Version 21112). Complete modeling output is provided in Appendix B. The following comments related to Air Quality were received during the Notice of Preparation (NOP) scoping period:
• The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) should carefully assess and mitigate the proposed project’s impacts on air quality.
• Because of the proposed project’s proximity to residences and schools already disproportionately burdened by multiple sources of air pollution, the EIR should address the potential cumulative health impacts associated with the construction and operation of the proposed project.
• The EIR should specifically quantify and discuss the potential cancer risks from on-site Transport Refrigeration Units.

3.2.2 - Environmental Setting
Regional Geography and Climate
The City of American Canyon is located within the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin (Air Basin or SFBAAB). The Air Basin is approximately 5,600 square miles in area and consists of nine counties that surround the San Francisco Bay, including all of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Napa Counties; the southwestern portion of Solano County; and the southern portion of Sonoma County. The San Francisco Bay Area (Bay Area) has a Mediterranean climate characterized by mild, dry summers and mild, moderately wet winters, moderate daytime onshore breezes, and moderate humidity.

A semi-permanent, high-pressure area centered over the northeastern Pacific Ocean dominates the summer climate of the West Coast. Because this high-pressure cell is persistent, storms rarely affect the California coast during the summer. Thus, the conditions that persist along the coast of California during summer are a northwest airflow and negligible precipitation. A thermal low-pressure area from the Sonoran-Mojave Desert also causes air to flow onshore over the Bay Area much of the summer.

The steady northwesterly flow around the eastern edge of the Pacific High (a high-pressure cell) exerts stress on the ocean surface along the West Coast. This airflow pattern induces upwelling of cold water from below the surface. Upwelling produces a band of cold water off San Francisco that is approximately 80 miles wide. During July, the surface waters off San Francisco are 3°F (degrees Fahrenheit) cooler than those off Vancouver, British Columbia, more than 900 miles to the north. Air 190

This cooling is often sufficient to produce condensation, creating a high incidence of fog and stratus clouds along the Northern California coast in summer.

In summer, the northwest winds to the west of the Pacific coastline are drawn into the interior through the gap in the western Coast Ranges, known as the Golden Gate,1 and over the lower portions of the San Francisco Peninsula. Immediately to the south of Mount Tamalpais, the northwesterly winds accelerate considerably and come more nearly from the west as they stream through the Golden Gate.

This channeling of the flow through the Golden Gate produces a jet that sweeps eastward but widens downstream, producing southwest winds at Berkeley and northwest winds at San José; a branch also curves eastward through the Carquinez Straits and into the Central Valley. Wind speeds may be locally strong in regions where air is channeled through a narrow opening such as the Golden Gate, the Carquinez Strait, or San Bruno Gap. For example, the average wind speed at San Francisco International Airport from 3:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in July is about 20 miles per hour (mph), compared with only about 8 mph at San José and less than 7 mph at the Farallon Islands.

The sea breeze between the coast and the Central Valley2 commences near the surface along the coast in late morning or early afternoon; it may first be observed only through the Golden Gate. Later in the day, the layer deepens and intensifies while spreading inland. As the breeze intensifies and deepens, it flows over the lower hills farther south along the peninsula. This process frequently can be observed as a bank of stratus clouds “rolling over” the coastal hills on the west side of the Bay. The depth of the sea breeze depends in large part upon the height and strength of the inversion. The generally low elevation of this stable layer of air prevents marine air from flowing over the coastal hills. It is unusual for the summer sea breeze to flow over terrain exceeding 2,000 feet in elevation.

In winter, the SFBAAB experiences periods of storminess, moderate-to-strong winds, and periods of stagnation with very light winds. Winter stagnation episodes are characterized by outflow from the Central Valley, nighttime drainage flows in coastal valleys, weak onshore flows in the afternoon, and otherwise light and variable winds.

A primary factor in air quality is the mixing depth (the vertical air column available for diluting contaminant sources). Generally, the air temperature decreases with height, creating a gradient from warmer air near the ground to cooler air at elevation caused by the sun converting large amounts of energy to sensible heat at the ground, which warms the air at the surface. The warm air rises in the atmosphere, where it expands and cools. Sometimes, however, the temperature of air increases with height. This condition is known as a temperature inversion because the atmosphere's temperature profile is “inverted” from its usual state. Over the SFBAAB, the frequent occurrence of temperature inversions limits mixing depth and, consequently, limits the availability of air for dilution. 1 A strait on the West Coast of North America that connects the San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean. 2 A flat valley that dominates the geographical center of California stretching 450 miles from north-northwest to south-southeast, inland from and parallel to the Pacific Ocean coast. It is bound by the Sierra Nevada to the east and the Coast Range to the west. 191

Carbon
monoxide (CO)
CO is a colorless, odorless, toxic
gas. CO is somewhat soluble in
water; therefore, rainfall and
fog can suppress CO conditions.

CO enters the body through the
lungs, dissolves in the blood,
replaces oxygen as an
attachment to hemoglobin, and
reduces available oxygen in the
blood.

CO is produced by
incomplete combustion
of carbon-containing
fuels (e.g., gasoline,
diesel fuel, and
biomass). Sources
include motor vehicle
exhaust, industrial
processes (metals
processing and chemical
manufacturing),
residential
woodburning, and
natural sources.

risk to fetuses; death.

Sulfur dioxide
(SO2)
Sulfur dioxide is a colorless,
pungent gas. At levels greater
than 0.5 parts per million
(ppm), the gas has a strong
odor similar to rotten eggs.

Sulfur oxides (SOX) include
sulfur dioxide and sulfur
trioxide. Sulfuric acid is formed
from sulfur dioxide, which can
lead to acid deposition and
can harm natural resources
and materials. Although sulfur
dioxide concentrations have
been reduced to levels well
below State and federal
standards, further reductions
are desirable because sulfur
dioxide is a precursor to
sulfate and PM10.

Human-caused sources
include fossil fuel
combustion, mineral ore
processing, and
chemical
manufacturing. Volcanic
emissions are a natural
source of sulfur dioxide.

The gas can also be
produced in the air by
dimethyl sulfide and
hydrogen sulfide. Sulfur
dioxide is removed from
the air by dissolution in
water, chemical
reactions, and transfer
to soils and ice caps.

The sulfur dioxide levels
in the State are well
below the maximum

Toxic Air Contaminants
Concentrations of toxic air contaminants (TACs) are also used as indicators of air quality conditions.

TACs are defined as air pollutants that may cause or contribute to an increase in mortality or serious illness or pose a hazard to human health. TACs are usually present in minute quantities in the ambient air; however, their high toxicity or health risk may pose a threat to public health even at very low concentrations. TACs can cause long-term health effects (such as cancer, birth defects, neurological damage, asthma, bronchitis, or genetic damage) or short-term acute affects (such as eye watering, respiratory irritation, runny nose, throat pain, or headaches). For TACs that may cause 194

In other words, there is no threshold level below which some adverse health impacts are not expected to occur. This contrasts with the criteria pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide for which acceptable levels of exposure can be determined. The State and federal governments set ambient air quality standards.

TACs are separated into carcinogens and noncarcinogens based on the physiological effects associated with exposure to a particular TAC. Carcinogens are assumed to have no safe threshold below which health impacts would not occur. Cancer risk is typically expressed as excess cancer cases per million exposed individuals over a lifetime exposure or other prolonged duration. There is generally an assumed safe level of exposure for noncarcinogenic substances below which no negative health impact is believed to occur. These levels may vary depending on the specific pollutant. Acute and chronic exposure to noncarcinogens is expressed as a hazard index (HI), which is the ratio of expected exposure levels to an acceptable reference exposure level (REL).

To date, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) has designated nearly 200 compounds as TACs. The ARB has implemented control measures for several compounds that pose high risks and show potential for effective control. The majority of the estimated health risk from TACs can be attributed to a relatively few compounds, the most important being diesel particulate matter (DPM) from diesel-fueled engines. Common TACs of national and California concern include DPM, reactive organic gases (ROG), benzene, asbestos, hydrogen sulfide, sulfates, visibility-reducing particulates, vinyl chloride, and lead. Table 3.2-2 provides a summary of the types, sources, and effects of TACs.

DPM is a source of PM2.5—
diesel particles are typically 2.5
microns and smaller. Diesel
exhaust is a complex mixture of
thousands of particles and
gases that is produced when an
engine burns diesel fuel.

Organic compounds account
for 80 percent of the total PM
mass, which consists of
compounds such as
hydrocarbons and their
derivatives and polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons and
their derivatives. Fifteen
polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons are confirmed
carcinogens, a number of
which are found in diesel
exhaust.

Diesel exhaust is a
major source of
ambient PM
pollution in urban
environments.

Typically, the main
source of DPM is
from combustion of
diesel fuel in dieselpowered engines.

Such engines are in
on-road vehicles
such as diesel
trucks, off-road
construction
vehicles, diesel
electrical
generators, and
various pieces of
stationary
construction
equipment.

Some short-term (acute) effects of
DPM exposure include eye, nose,
throat, and lung irritation, coughs,
headaches, light-headedness, and
nausea. Studies have linked
elevated particle levels in the air to
increased hospital admissions,
emergency room visits, asthma
attacks, and premature deaths
among those suffering from
respiratory problems. Human
studies on the carcinogenicity of
DPM demonstrate an increased
risk of lung cancer, although the
increased risk cannot be clearly
attributed to diesel exhaust
exposure.

VOCs ROGs, or VOCs, are defined as
any compound of carbon—
excluding carbon monoxide,
carbon dioxide, carbonic acid,
metallic carbides or
carbonates, and ammonium
carbonate—that participates in
atmospheric photochemical
reactions. Although there are
slight differences in the
definition of ROGs and VOCs,
the two terms are often used
interchangeably.

Indoor sources of
VOCs include paints,
solvents, aerosol
sprays, cleansers,
tobacco smoke, etc.

Outdoor sources of
VOCs are from
combustion and fuel
evaporation. A
reduction in VOC
emissions reduces
certain chemical
reactions that
contribute to the
formulation of
ozone. VOCs are
transformed into
organic aerosols in
the atmosphere,
which contribute to
higher PM10 and
lower visibility.

Although health-based standards
have not been established for
VOCs, health effects can occur
from exposures to high
concentrations because of
interference with oxygen uptake.

In general, concentrations of VOCs
are suspected to cause eye, nose,
and throat irritation; headaches;
loss of coordination; nausea; and
damage to the liver, the kidneys,
and the central nervous system.

Many VOCs have been classified as
TACs.

Benzene Benzene is a VOC. It is a clear or
colorless light-yellow, volatile,
highly flammable liquid with a
gasoline-like odor. The EPA has
classified benzene as a “Group
A” carcinogen.

Benzene is emitted
into the air from fuel
evaporation, motor
vehicle exhaust,
tobacco smoke, and
from burning oil and
coal. Benzene is
used as a solvent for
paints, inks, oils,
waxes, plastic, and
rubber. Benzene
occurs naturally in
gasoline at one to 2
percent by volume.

The primary route of
human exposure is
through inhalation.

Short-term (acute) exposure of high
doses from inhalation of benzene
may cause dizziness, drowsiness,
headaches, eye irritation, skin
irritation, and respiratory tract
irritation, and at higher levels, loss
of consciousness can occur. Longterm (chronic) occupational exposure of high doses has caused
blood disorders, leukemia, and
lymphatic cancer.

flammable, colorless, poisonous
gas that smells like rotten eggs.

Manure, storage
tanks, ponds,
anaerobic lagoons,
and land application
sites are the primary
sources of hydrogen
sulfide.

Anthropogenic
sources include the
combustion of sulfur
containing fuels (oil
and coal).

High levels of hydrogen sulfide can
cause immediate respiratory arrest.

It can irritate the eyes and
respiratory tract and cause
headache, nausea, vomiting, and
cough. Long exposure can cause
pulmonary edema.

Sulfates Sulfates occur in combination
with metal and/or hydrogen
ions. Many sulfates are soluble
in water.

Sulfates are
particulates formed
through the
photochemical
oxidation of sulfur
dioxide. In
California, the main
source of sulfur
compounds is
combustion of
gasoline and diesel
fuel.

Sulfates can cause a decrease in
ventilatory function, aggravation
of asthmatic symptoms; and
aggravation of cardio-pulmonary
disease, as well as vegetation
damage, degradation of visibility,
property damage.

Air Quality
Air quality is a function of both the rate and location of pollutant emissions under the influence of meteorological conditions and topographic features. Atmospheric conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, and air temperature inversions interact with the physical features of the landscape to determine the movement and dispersal of air pollutant emissions and, consequently, their effect on air quality.

Regional Air Quality
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) is the regional agency regulating air quality within the nine-county SFBAAB. The SFBAAB includes Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties, the western portion of Solano County, and the southern portion of Sonoma County.

Air Pollutant Standards and Attainment Designations
Air pollutant standards have been adopted by the EPA and the ARB for the following six criteria air pollutants that affect ambient air quality: ozone, NO2, CO, SO2, lead, and particulate matter (PM), which is subdivided into two classes based on particle size: PM with aerodynamic diameters equal to or less than 10 microns (PM10), and PM with aerodynamic diameters equal to or less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5). These air pollutants are called “criteria air pollutants” because they are regulated by developing specific public health- and welfare-based criteria as the basis for setting permissible levels.

California has also established standards for TACs such as visibility-reducing particles, sulfates, hydrogen sulfide, and vinyl chloride. Table 3.2-3 presents the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and California Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) for these aforementioned air pollutants. Note that there are no State or federal ambient air quality standards for ROGs, benzene, or DPM.

All standards listed are primary standards except for 3-Hour SO2, which is a secondary standard. A secondary standard is the level of air quality necessary to protect the public welfare from any known or anticipated adverse effects of a pollutant. b To attain the 1-hour nitrogen dioxide national standard, the 3-year average of the annual 98th percentile of the 1-hour daily maximum concentrations at each site must not exceed 100 parts per billion (0.100 ppm). c On June 2, 2010, a new 1-hour SO2 standard was established and the existing 24-hour and annual primary standards were revoked.

To attain the 1-hour national standard, the 3-year average of the annual 99th percentile of the 1-hour daily maximum concentrations at each site must not exceed 75 part per billion (ppb). The 1971 SO2 national standards (24-hour and annual) remain in effect until 1 year after an area is designated for the 2010 standard, except that in areas designated nonattainment for the 1971 standards, the 1971 standards remain in effect until implementation plans to attain or maintain the 2010 standards are approved. d Visibility-reducing particles: In 1989, the ARB converted both the general Statewide 10-mile visibility standard and the Lake Tahoe 30-mile visibility standard to instrumental equivalents, which are “extinction of 0.23 per kilometer” and “extinction of 0.07 per kilometer” for the Statewide and Lake Tahoe Air Basin standards, respectively. 200

Air quality monitoring stations operated by the ARB and BAAQMD measure ambient air pollutant concentrations in the SFBAAB. In general, the SFBAAB experiences low concentrations of most pollutants compared to federal or State standards.

Both the EPA and ARB use ambient air quality monitoring data to designate areas according to their attainment status for criteria air pollutants. These designations identify the areas with air quality problems and initiate planning efforts for improvement. The three basic designation categories are nonattainment, attainment, and unclassified. “Attainment” status refers to those regions that are meeting federal and/or State standards for a specified criteria pollutant. “Nonattainment” refers to regions that do not meet federal and/or State standards for a specified criteria pollutant. “Unclassified” refers to regions with insufficient data to determine the region’s attainment status for a specified criteria air pollutant. Each standard has a different definition, or “form” of what constitutes attainment, based on specific air quality statistics. For example, the federal 8-hour CO standard is not to be exceeded more than once per year; therefore, an area is in attainment of the CO standard if no more than one 8-hour ambient air monitoring values exceeds the threshold per year. In contrast, the federal annual PM2.5 standard is met if the 3-year average of the annual average PM2.5 concentration is less than or equal to the standard.

Table 3.2-4 shows the current attainment designations for the SFBAAB. The SFBAAB is designated as nonattainment for the State ozone, PM10, and PM2.5, standards and the national ozone and PM2.5 standards.

Air Quality Index
The health impacts of the various air pollutants of concern can be presented in a number of ways.

The clearest comparison is to the State and federal ozone standards. If concentrations are below the standard, it is safe to say that no health impact would occur to anyone. When concentrations exceed the standard, impacts will vary based on the amount by which the standard is exceeded. The EPA developed the Air Quality Index (AQI) as an easy-to-understand measure of health impacts compared with concentrations in the air. Table 3.2-5 provides a general description of the health impacts of ozone at different concentrations.

Local Air Quality
Air quality is a function of both the rate and location of pollutant emissions under the influence of meteorological conditions and topographic features. Atmospheric conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, and air temperature inversions interact with the physical features of the landscape to determine the movement and dispersal of air pollutant emissions and, consequently, their effect on air quality.

The local air quality can be evaluated by reviewing relevant air pollution concentrations near the project area. The air quality monitoring station closest to the project site is the Napa Valley College Air Monitoring Station, located approximately 5.5 miles north of the project site. Table 3.2-6 summarizes the recorded ambient air data at the representative monitoring stations for the years 2017 through 2019, which is the most current data available at the time of this analysis. As the Napa Valley College Air Monitoring Station does not have recorded data for 2017, the next closest monitoring station, Vallejo-304 Tuolumne Street Monitoring Station, approximately 6.5 miles south of the project site, was selected to identify the region’s air quality in 2017. As Table 3.2-6 shows, the recorded data show exceedances of the California standards for ozone (1-hour and 8-hour) and PM10, and national standards for 8-hour ozone, PM2.5, and PM10, on multiple occasions from 2017 to 2019. No exceedances of either the State or national standards were recorded for CO, NO2, or SO2.

No recent monitoring data for Napa County or the SFBAAB was available for CO or SO2. Generally, no monitoring is conducted for pollutants that are no longer likely to exceed ambient air quality standards.

Therefore, these groups are referred to as sensitive receptors. Exposure assessment guidance typically assumes that residences would receive exposure to air pollution 24 hours per day, 350 days per year, for 70 years. BAAQMD defines sensitive receptors as children, adults, and seniors occupying or residing in residential dwellings, schools, day care centers, hospitals, and senior-care facilities.

Project Vicinity
The closest off-site air pollution sensitive receptors near the project site in each direction include the following:
• A single-family residence approximately 200 feet southwest of the project site. • A single-family residence approximately 3,150 feet west of the project site. • A residential neighborhood approximately 2,510 feet south of the project site. • A single-family residence approximately 1,790 feet east of the project site. • A single-family residence approximately 1,860 feet northeast of the project site. • Calvary Baptist Christian Academy approximately 4,040 feet south of the project site.

Project Site
The project site is vacant and no sensitive receptors currently exist on the project site.

Existing Emission Sources
Project Vicinity
The primary sources of air pollutants (both criteria air pollutant and TACs) in the project site vicinity include the various other surrounding industrial properties, building-related energy use, and motorrelated vehicle trips associated with the local business use, particularly on State Route (SR) 29. The project site is located approximately 660 feet west of SR-29 and approximately 2,430 feet southeast of Napa County Airport. Other activities that result in emissions include space and water heating, landscape maintenance, and any surrounding industrial uses that can store, produce, decommission, or otherwise handle hazardous materials.

Project Site
The project site itself is currently vacant and does not produce any air pollutants.

3.2.3 - Regulatory Framework
Federal
Clean Air Act
Congress established much of the basic structure of the Clean Air Act (CAA) in 1970 and made major revisions in 1977 and 1990. Six common air pollutants (also known as criteria pollutants) are addressed in the CAA. These are PM, ground-level ozone, CO, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and lead. The EPA calls these pollutants criteria air pollutants because it regulates them by developing 205

The set of limits based on human health are called primary standards. Another set of limits intended to prevent environmental and property damage are called secondary standards.
3 The federal standards are called NAAQS. The air quality standards provide benchmarks for determining whether air quality is healthy at specific locations and whether development activities will cause or contribute to a violation of the standards. The criteria pollutants are:
• Ozone • Particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5)
• Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) • Carbon monoxide (CO)
• Lead • Sulfur dioxide
The federal standards were set to protect public health, including that of sensitive individuals; thus, the EPA is tasked with updating the standards as more medical research is available regarding the health effects of the criteria pollutants. Primary federal standards are the levels of air quality necessary, with an adequate margin of safety, to protect the public health.

The CAA also requires each state to prepare an air quality control plan referred to as a State Implementation Plan (SIP). The federal CAA Amendments of 1990 added requirements for states with nonattainment areas to revise their SIPs to incorporate additional control measures to reduce air pollution. The SIP is periodically modified to reflect the latest emissions inventories, planning documents, and rules and regulations of the air basins, as reported by their jurisdictional agencies.

EPA Emission Standards for New Off-Road Equipment
Before 1994, there were no standards to limit the amount of emissions from off-road equipment. In 1994, the EPA established emission standards for hydrocarbons, NOX, CO, and PM to regulate new pieces of off-road equipment. These emission standards came to be known as Tier 1. Since that time, increasingly more stringent Tier 2, Tier 3, and Tier 4 (interim and final) standards were adopted by the EPA and the ARB. Each adopted emission standard was phased in over time. New engines built in and after 2015 across all horsepower sizes must meet Tier 4 final emission standards. In other words, new manufactured engines cannot exceed the emissions established for Tier 4 final emissions standards.

State
California Air Quality Control Plan (State Implementation Plan) An SIP is a document prepared by each state describing existing air quality conditions and measures that will be followed to attain and maintain federal air quality standards. The ARB, which has overall responsibility for Statewide air quality maintenance and air pollution prevention, administers the SIP for the State of California. California’s SIP incorporates individual federal attainment plans for regional air districts—an air district prepares their federal attainment plan, which is sent to the ARB to be approved and incorporated into the California SIP. Federal attainment plans include the technical foundation for understanding air quality (e.g., emission inventories and air quality 3 United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 2014.

Areas designated nonattainment must develop air quality plans and regulations to achieve standards by specified dates, depending on the severity of the exceedances. For much of the country, implementation of federal motor vehicle standards and compliance with federal permitting requirements for industrial sources are adequate to attain air quality standards on schedule. For many areas of California, however, additional State and local regulation is required to achieve the standards.

California Clean Air Act
The California Legislature enacted the California Clean Air Act (CCAA) in 1988 to address air quality issues of concern not adequately addressed by the federal CAA at the time. California’s air quality problems were and continue to be some of the most severe in the nation and required additional actions beyond the federal mandates. The ARB administers the CAAQS for the 10 air pollutants designated in the CCAA. The 10 State air pollutants are the six federal standards listed above and visibility-reducing particulates, hydrogen sulfide, sulfates, and vinyl chloride. The EPA authorized California to adopt its own more stringent regulations than similar federal regulations implementing the CAA for motor vehicles and other sources. Generally, the planning requirements of the CCAA are more stringent than the federal CAA; therefore, consistency with the CAA will also demonstrate consistency with the CCAA.

Other ARB responsibilities include, but are not limited to, overseeing local air district compliance with California and federal laws; approving local air quality plans; submitting SIPs to the EPA; monitoring air quality; determining and updating area designations and maps; conducting basic research aimed at providing a better understanding between emissions and public well-being, and setting emissions standards for new mobile sources, consumer products, small utility engines, offroad vehicles, and fuels.

California Health and Safety Code Section 39655 and California Code of Regulations Title 17 Section 93000 (Substances Identified as Toxic Air Contaminants) The ARB identifies substances as TACs as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 39655 and listed in Title 17, Section 93000 of the California Code of Regulations, “Substances Identified As Toxic Air Contaminants.” A TAC is defined as an air pollutant that may cause or contribute to an increase in mortality or serious illness or pose a hazard to human health. TACs are usually present in minute quantities in the ambient air; however, their high toxicity or health risk may pose a threat to public health even at low concentrations. In general, for those TACs that may cause cancer, there are thresholds set by regulatory agencies below which adverse health impacts are not expected to occur.

This contrasts with the criteria pollutants for which acceptable levels of exposure can be determined and for which the State and federal governments have set ambient air quality standards. According to the California Almanac of Emissions and Air Quality, the majority of the estimated health risk from TACs for the State of California can be attributed to relatively few compounds, the most important of which is DPM from diesel-fueled engines.

The ARB first adopted Low-Emission Vehicle (LEV) program standards in 1990. These first LEV standards ran from 1994 through 2003. LEV II regulations, running from 2004 through 2010, represent continuing progress in emission reductions. As the State’s passenger vehicle fleet continues to grow and more sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks are used as passenger cars rather than work vehicles, more stringent LEV II standards were adopted to provide reductions necessary for California to meet federally mandated clean air goals outlined in the 1994 SIP. In 2012, the ARB adopted the LEV III amendments to California’s LEV regulations. These amendments, also known as the Advanced Clean Car Program, include more stringent emission standards for model years 2017 through 2025 for criteria pollutants and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for new passenger vehicles.4 California On-Road Heavy-Duty Vehicle Program
The ARB has adopted standards for emissions from various types of new on-road heavy-duty vehicles. Section 1956.8, Title 13, California Code of Regulations contains California’s emission standards for on-road heavy-duty engines and vehicles, and test procedures. The ARB has also adopted programs to reduce emissions from in-use heavy-duty vehicles including the Heavy-Duty Diesel Vehicle Idling Reduction Program, the Heavy-Duty Diesel In-Use Compliance Program, the Public Bus Fleet Rule and Engine Standards, and the School Bus Program and others. 5 California In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicle Regulation
On July 26, 2007, the ARB adopted a regulation to reduce DPM and NOX emissions from in-use (existing) off-road heavy-duty diesel vehicles in California. Such vehicles are used in construction, mining, and industrial operations. The regulation limits idling to no more than 5 consecutive minutes, requires reporting and labeling, and requires disclosure of the regulation upon vehicle sale.

The ARB is enforcing that part of the rule with fines up to $10,000 per day for each vehicle in violation. Performance requirements of the rule are based on a fleet’s average NOX emissions, which can be met by replacing older vehicles with newer, cleaner vehicles or by applying exhaust retrofits.

The regulation was amended in 2010 to delay the original timeline of the performance requirements, making the first compliance deadline January 1, 2014, for large fleets (over 5,000 horsepower), 2017 for medium fleets (2,501-5,000 horsepower), and 2019 for small fleets (2,500 horsepower or less).

The latest amendments to the Truck and Bus regulation became effective on December 31, 2014. The amended regulation requires diesel trucks and buses that operate in California to be upgraded to reduce emissions. Newer heavier trucks and buses must meet PM filter requirements beginning January 1, 2012. Lighter and older heavier trucks must be replaced starting January 1, 2015. By January 1, 2023, nearly all trucks and buses will need to have 2010 model year engines or equivalent.

The regulation applies to nearly all privately and federally owned diesel-fueled trucks and buses and privately and publicly owned school buses with a gross vehicle weight of greater than 14,000 pounds. The regulation provides various flexibility options tailored to fleets operating low-use 4 California Air Resources Board (ARB). 2013. Clean Car Standards—Pavley, Assembly Bill 1493.

California Airborne Toxic Control Measures for Asbestos The ARB has adopted Airborne Toxic Control Measures (ATCM) for sources that emit a particular TAC.

If there is a safe threshold for a substance at which there is no toxic effect, the control measure must reduce exposure below that threshold. If there is no safe threshold, the measure must incorporate Best Available Control Technology to minimize emissions.

In July 2001, the ARB approved an ATCM for construction, grading, quarrying and surface mining operations to minimize emissions of naturally occurring asbestos. The regulation requires applying Best Management Practices (BMPs) to control fugitive dust in areas known to have naturally occurring asbestos and requires notification to the local air district before ground-disturbing activities. The measure establishes specific testing, notification, and engineering controls before grading, quarrying, or surface mining in construction zones where naturally occurring asbestos is located on projects of any size. There are additional notification and engineering controls at work sites larger than one acre in size. These projects require the submittal of a “Dust Mitigation Plan” and approval by the air district before the start of a project.

Construction sometimes requires the demolition of existing buildings where construction occurs.

Asbestos is also found in a natural state, known as naturally occurring asbestos. Exposure and disturbance of rock and soil that naturally contain asbestos can result in the release of fibers into the air and consequent exposure to the public. Asbestos most commonly occurs in ultramafic rock that has undergone partial or complete alteration to serpentine rock (serpentinite) and often contains chrysotile asbestos. In addition, another form of asbestos, tremolite, can be found associated with ultramafic rock, particularly near faults. Sources of asbestos emissions include unpaved roads or driveways surfaced with ultramafic rock, construction activities in ultramafic rock deposits, or rock quarrying activities where ultramafic rock is present.

The ARB has an ATCM for construction, grading, quarrying, and surface mining operations, requiring the implementation of mitigation measures to minimize emissions of asbestos-laden dust. The measure applies to road construction and maintenance, construction and grading operations, and quarries and surface mines when the activity occurs in an area where naturally occurring asbestos is likely to be found. Areas are subject to the regulation if they are identified on maps published by the Department of Conservation as ultramafic rock units or if the Air Pollution Control Officer or owner/operator has knowledge of the presence of ultramafic rock, serpentine, or naturally occurring asbestos on the site. The measure also applies if ultramafic rock, serpentine, or asbestos is discovered during any operation or activity. Review of the Department of Conservation maps indicates that no ultramafic rock has been found near the project site with the areas more likely to contain naturally occurring asbestos are approximately 2 miles southeast of the project site. 7 6 California Air Resources Board (ARB). 2015.

TRUs are trailer-mounted units, powered by small diesel-fueled engines, which provide chilled air to tailers carrying perishable goods (e.g., produce, meats, and prescription drugs). The measure regulates PM emissions rates from TRUs powered by diesel internal combustion engines that range from 9 to 36 horsepower. According to the regulation, facilities with over 20 loading docks must submit a detailed report specifying the types of models and quantities of TRUs that would operate at the facility. The report is filed by the equipment operator and is submitted electronically to the ARB. By July 31, 2009, owners and operators of California-based TRUs were required to submit an application for an ARB identification number as part of the ARB Identification Numbering Requirements. By December 31, 2021, owners and operators of California-based TRUs must submit documentation demonstrating that TRUs with a model year 2013 or newer meet the Ultra Low-Emission TRU in-use standard by the end of the seventh year after the engine model year.

Verified Diesel Emission Control Strategies
The EPA and the ARB tiered off-road emission standards only apply to new engines and off-road equipment can last several years. The ARB has developed Verified Diesel Emission Control Strategies (VDECS), devices, systems, or strategies used to achieve the highest level of pollution control from existing off-road vehicles to help reduce emissions from existing engines. VDECS are designed primarily for the reduction of DPM emissions and have been verified by ARB. There are three levels of VDECS, the most effective of which is the Level 3 VDECS. Tier 4 engines are not required to install VDECS because they already meet the emissions standards for lower-tiered equipment with installed controls.

California Diesel Risk Reduction Plan
The ARB Diesel Risk Reduction Plan has led to the adoption of new State regulatory standards for all new on-road, off-road, and stationary diesel-fueled engines and vehicles to reduce DPM emissions in 2020 by about 90 percent overall from year 2000 levels. The projected emission benefits associated with the full implementation of this plan, including federal measures, are reductions in DPM emissions and associated cancer risks of 75 percent by 2010 and 85 percent by 2020. 8 Tanner Air Toxics Act and Air Toxics Hot Spots Information and Assessment Act TACs in California are primarily regulated through the Tanner Air Toxics Act (Assembly Bill 1807) and the Air Toxics Hot Spots Information and Assessment Act of 1987 (Assembly Bill 2588), also known as the Hot Spots Act. To date, the ARB has identified more than 21 TACs, and has adopted the EPA’s list of Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) as TACs.

California’s Refrigerant Management Program (RMP) regulates refrigerants used in larger facilities, primarily industrial and supermarket land uses. Refrigerants regulated under the RMP include any refrigerant that is an ozone depleting substance as defined in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulation, Part 82, and any compound with a global warming potential (GWP) value equal to or greater than 150 according to the GWPs specified in the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report of 2007. According to the RMP, all supermarket and industrial refrigeration systems with a full recharge capacity of 50 pounds (22.7 kilograms) or greater will be required to limit the refrigerants used to no greater than 150 GWP beginning in 2022. Similarly, according to the RMP, all room air conditioning unit systems with a full recharge capacity of 50 pounds or greater will be required to limit the refrigerants used to no greater than 750 GWP beginning in 2023.10

The BAAQMD prepares plans to attain ambient air quality standards in the SFBAAB and prepares ozone attainment plans for the national ozone standard, clean air plans for the California standard, and PM plans to fulfill federal air quality planning requirements. The BAAQMD also inspects stationary sources of air pollution; responds to citizen complaints; monitors ambient air quality and meteorological conditions; and implements programs and regulations required by the CAA and the CCAA.

The BAAQMD developed quantitative thresholds of significance for its California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines in 2010, which were also included in its updated 2011 Guidelines. The BAAQMD’s adoption of the 2010 thresholds of significance was later challenged in court.

Bay Area Air Quality Management District (2015) 62 Cal.4th 369, 377-378).

The California Supreme Court also found that specific legislation within CEQA requires the analysis of exposing people to environmental hazards in specific circumstances, including the location of development near airports, schools near sources of toxic contamination, and certain exemptions for infill and workforce housing (Id. at pp. 391-392). On N remand from the California Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal later held that public agencies remain free to voluntarily conduct this analysis not required by CEQA for their own public projects (CBIA v. BAAQMD (2016) 2 Cal.App.5th 1067, 1083).

In view of the California Supreme Court’s opinion, the BAAQMD published a new version of its CEQA Guidelines in May 2017. The BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines state that local agencies may rely on thresholds designed to reflect the impact of locating development near areas of toxic air contamination where CEQA requires such an analysis or where the agency has determined that such an analysis would assist in making a decision about the proposed project. However, the thresholds are not mandatory, and agencies should apply them only after determining that they reflect an appropriate measure of a project’s impacts. The BAAQMD’s guidelines for implementing the thresholds are for informational purposes only, to assist local agencies.

BAAQMD Particulate Matter Plan
To fulfill federal air quality planning requirements, the BAAQMD adopted a PM2.5 emissions inventory for the year 2010 at a public hearing on November 7, 2012. The Bay Area Clean Air Plan also included several measures for reducing PM emissions from stationary sources and woodburning. On January 9, 2013, the EPA issued a final rule determining that the Bay Area has attained the 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS, suspending federal SIP planning requirements for the SFBAAB.11 Despite this EPA action, the SFBAAB will continue to be designated as nonattainment for the national 24-hour PM2.5 standard until the BAAQMD submits a redesignation request and a maintenance plan to the EPA and the EPA approves the proposed redesignation.

The Air Basin is designated nonattainment for the State PM10 and PM2.5 standards, but the Air Basin is currently unclassified for the federal PM10 standard and nonattainment for federal PM2.5 standards. The EPA lowered the 24-hour PM2.5 standard from 65 µg/m3 to 35 µg/m3 in 2006 and designated the Air Basin as nonattainment for the new PM2.5 standard effective December 14, 2009.

On December 8, 2011, the ARB submitted a “clean data finding” request to the EPA on behalf of the Bay Area. If the clean data finding request is approved, then EPA guidelines provide that the region can fulfill federal PM2.5 SIP requirements by preparing either a redesignation request and a PM2.5 maintenance plan, or a “clean data” SIP submittal. Because peak PM2.5 levels can vary from year to year based on natural, short-term changes in weather conditions, the BAAQMD believes that it 11 United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 2013.

• An emission inventory for primary PM2.5, as well as precursors to secondary PM formation • Amendments to the BAAQMD’s New Source Review regulation to address PM2.5 BAAQMD 2017 Clean Air Plan
In May 2017, the BAAQMD adopted the final Bay Area 2017 Clean Air Plan. The BAAQMD prepared the 2017 Clean Air Plan in cooperation with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). The goals of the 2017 Clean Air Plan are to reduce regional air pollutants and climate pollutants to improve the health of Bay Area residents for the next decades. The 2017 Clean Air Plan aims to lead the region into a post-carbon economy, continue progress toward attaining all State and federal air quality standards, and eliminate health risk disparities from air pollution exposure in Bay Area communities. The Plan includes 85 distinct control measures to help the region reduce air pollutants and has a long-term strategic vision that forecasts what a clean air Bay Area will look like in the year 2050. The 2017 Clean Air Plan envisions a future whereby the year 2050:
• Buildings will be energy efficient—heated, cooled and powered by renewable energy. • Transportation will be a combination of electric vehicles, both shared and privately owned, and autonomous public transit fleets, with a large share of trips by bicycling, walking, and transit.
• The Bay Area will be powered by clean, renewable electricity and will be a leading incubator and producer of clean energy technologies leading the world in the carbon-efficiency of our products.
• Bay Area residents will have developed a low-carbon lifestyle by driving electric vehicles, living in zero net energy homes, eating low-carbon foods, and purchasing goods and services with low-carbon content.
• Waste will be greatly reduced, waste products will be re-used or recycled, and all organic waste will be composted and put to productive use.

The focus of control measures includes aggressively targeting the largest source of GHG, ozone pollutants, and PM emissions: transportation. This includes more incentives for electric vehicle infrastructure, off-road electrification projects such as Caltrain and shore power at ports, and reducing emissions from trucks, school buses, marine vessels, locomotives, and off-road equipment.

Additionally, the BAAQMD will continue to work with regional and local governments to reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) through the further funding of rideshare, bike and shuttle programs.

BAAQMD Regulations
Regulation 2, Rule 1 (Permits–General Requirements)
The BAAQMD regulates new sources of air pollution and the modification and operation of existing sources through the issuances of authorities to construct and permits to operate. Regulation 2, Rule 1 provides an orderly procedure which the project would be required to comply with to receive 213

Regulation 2, Rule 5 (New Source Review Permitting)
The BAAQMD regulates backup emergency generators, fire pumps, and other sources of TACs through its New Source Review (Regulation 2, Rule 5) permitting process.12 Although emergency generators are intended for use only during periods of power outages, monthly testing of each generator is required; however, the BAAQMD limits testing to no more than 50 hours per year. Each emergency generator installed is assumed to meet a minimum of Tier 2 emission standards (before control measures). As part of the permitting process, the BAAQMD limits the excess cancer risk from any facility to no more than 10 per 1-million-population for any permits that are applied for within a 2-year period and would require any source that would result in an excess cancer risk greater than 1 per 1 million to install Best Available Control Technology (BACT) for Toxics.

Regulation 6, Rule 1 (Particulate Matter–General Requirements) The BAAQMD regulates PM emissions through Regulation 6 by means of establishing limitations on emission rates, emissions concentrations, and emission visibility and opacity. Regulation 6, Rule 1 provides existing standards for PM emissions that could result during project construction or operation that the project would be required to comply with, as applicable, such as the prohibition of emissions from any source for a period or aggregate periods of more than 3 minutes in any hour which are equal to or greater than 20 percent opacity.

Regulation 6, Rule 6, (Particulate Matter–Prohibition of Trackout) One rule by which the BAAQMD regulates PM includes Regulation 6, Rule 6, which prohibits PM trackout during project construction and operation. Regulation 6, Rule 6 requires the prevention or timely cleanup of trackout of solid materials onto paved public roads outside the boundaries of large bulk material sites, large construction sites, and large disturbed surface sides such as landfills.

Regulation 8, Rule 3 (Architectural Coatings)
This rule governs the manufacture, distribution, and sale of architectural coatings and limits the ROG content in paints and paint solvents. Although this rule does not directly apply to the proposed project, it does dictate the ROG content of paint available for use during the construction.

Regulation 8, Rule 15 (Emulsified and Liquid Asphalts)
Although this rule does not directly apply to the proposed project, it does dictate the reactive organic gases content of asphalt available for use during the construction through regulating the sale and use of asphalt and limits the ROG content in asphalt.

Regulation 9, Rule 8 (Inorganic Gaseous Pollutants–Nitrogen Oxides and Carbon Monoxide from Stationary Internal Combustion Engines)
Under Regulation 9, Rule 8, the BAAQMD regulates the emissions of nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide from stationary internal combustion engines with an output rated by the manufacturer at more than 50 brake horsepower. As such, any proposed stationary source equipment (e.g., backup 12 Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). 2016. NSR [New Source Review] Permitting Guidance. Website:

Regulation 11, Rule 2 (Hazardous Pollutants–Asbestos Demolition, Renovation, and Manufacturing) Under Regulation 11, Rule 2, the BAAQMD regulates emissions of asbestos to the atmosphere during demolition, renovation, milling, and manufacturing and establishes appropriate waste disposal procedures. Any of these activities which pose the potential to generate emissions of airborne asbestos are required to comply with the appropriate provisions of this regulation.

Regulation 1, Rule 301 (Odorous Emissions)
The BAAQMD is responsible for investigating and controlling odor complaints in the Bay Area. The agency enforces odor control by helping the public to document a public nuisance. Upon receipt of a complaint, the BAAQMD sends an investigator to interview the complainant and to locate the odor source if possible. The BAAQMD typically brings a public nuisance court action when there are a substantial number of confirmed odor events within a 24-hour period. An odor source with five or more confirmed complaints per year, averaged over 3 years, is considered to have a substantial effect on receptors.

Several BAAQMD regulations and rules apply to odorous emissions. Regulation 1, Rule 301 is the nuisance provision that states that sources cannot emit air contaminants that cause nuisance to several people. Regulation 7 specifies limits for the discharge of odorous substances where the BAAQMD receives complaints from 10 or more complainants within a 90-day period. Among other things, Regulation 7 precludes discharge of an odorous substance that causes the ambient air at or beyond the property line to be odorous after dilution with four parts of odor-free air and specifies maximum limits on the emission of certain odorous compounds.

Lastly, the BAAQMD enforces the Portable Equipment Registration Program (PERP) ATCM on behalf of the ARB. Under the PERP, owners or operators of portable engines and other types of equipment which meet the qualifications of the ATCM can register their equipment to operate throughout California. However, owners and operators of portable engines which meet the qualifications of this ATCM who do not register their equipment under the PERP must obtain individual permits from local air districts. Permits issued under the PERP must be honored by all air districts throughout California.

Plan Bay Area
On July 18, 2013, ABAG and the MTC approved the Plan Bay Area. The Plan Bay Area includes integrated land use and transportation strategies for the region and was developed through OneBayArea, a joint initiative between ABAG, BAAQMD, MTC, and the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission. The plan’s transportation policies focus on maintaining the extensive existing transportation network and utilizing these systems more efficiently to handle density in Bay Area transportation cores.13 Assumptions for land use development come from local and regional planning documents.

Plan Bay Area 2040 functions as the sustainable communities’ strategy mandated by Senate Bill (SB) 375. As a regional land use plan, Plan Bay Area 2040 aims to reduce per capita GHG emissions by promoting more compact, mixed use residential and commercial neighborhoods located near transit. Plan Bay Area 2040 is a limited and focused update that builds upon a growth pattern and strategies developed in the original Plan Bay Area (adopted by MTC in 2013) but with updated planning assumptions that incorporate key economic, demographic, and financial trends from the last 4 years.

Local
City of American Canyon General Plan
The City of American Canyon adopted its General Plan in 1994, which contains objectives and policies that help address air quality and reduce the community’s vulnerability to air pollution. The following objectives and policies from the City’s General Plan are relevant to air quality and apply to the proposed project:

Goal 8F Reduce consumption of nonrenewable energy sources and support the development and utilization of new energy sources.

Objective 8.22 Minimize transportation-related energy consumption.

Policy 8.22.1 Encourage the development of mixed use, pedestrian friendly employment/residential centers that help minimize vehicle trips in American Canyon and contribute to a reduction in energy consumption.

Policy 8.22.3 Require that Development Plans provide for linkages between bicycle and pedestrian circulation systems and transit and employment centers, in accordance with established areawide plans.

Policy 8.22.4 Maintain a system of traffic signals and controls that minimizes waiting time and vehicle speed changes through routes.

Policy 8.22.5 Require that Development Plans provide for High-Occupancy Vehicles (HOV) and public transportation, where feasible, through the provision of appropriate transit areas and park-and-ride locations along public transportation routes.

Objective 8.23 Reduce Energy consumption in buildings.

Policy 8.23.1 Require that developers employ energy-efficient subdivision and site planning methods as well as building design. Measures to be considered include building orientation and shading, landscaping, building reflectance, use of active and passive solar heating and hot water system, etc. In establishing these energy related design 216

Objective 1.37 Consider initiatives to reduce direct and indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation sources, and from new, renovated, and existing development in the City.

Policy 1.37.6 Reduce vehicle engine idling in American Canyon by educating the broader community (i.e., businesses, commuters, residents) on the greenhouse gas impacts caused by engine idling, and implementing feasible commercial vehicle regulations.

3.2.4 - Thresholds of Significance
Appendix G to the CEQA Guidelines is a sample Initial Study Checklist that includes questions for determining whether impacts to air quality are significant. These questions reflect the input of planning and environmental professionals at the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research and the California Natural Resources Agency, based on input from stakeholder groups and experts in various other governmental agencies, nonprofits, and leading environmental consulting firms. On the subject of air quality, Appendix G states that, “[w]here available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations.” As a result, many lead agencies derive their significance criteria from the questions posed in Appendix G and input from relevant air districts. The City has chosen to do so for this project.

Additional guidance on the significance of air quality impacts is found in CEQA Guidelines Section 15065, subdivision (a)(4), which provides that a lead agency shall find that a project may have a significant effect on the environment if “the environmental effects of a project will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly.” According to the California Supreme Court, this “mandatory finding of significance” applies to potential effects on public health from environmental impacts such as those associated with air pollutant emissions from projects. (California Business Industry Association v. Bay Area Air Quality Management District (2015) 62 Cal.4th 369, 386-392.) In light of the foregoing, the proposed project would have a significant effect related to air quality if the project would:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan; b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is nonattainment under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard;
c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations (and thereby possibly cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, directly or indirectly); or d) Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people.

The preceding thresholds of significance are stated in general terms. It is therefore desirable to formulate additional, more precise thresholds based on guidance from the BAAQMD, as is encourage in Appendix G to the CEQA Guidelines. As explained earlier, BAAQMD’s May 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines were prepared to assist in evaluating air quality impacts of projects and plans proposed within the Bay Area. 14 The guidelines provide recommended procedures for evaluating potential air quality impacts during the environmental review process, consistent with CEQA requirements, and include recommended thresholds of significance, mitigation measures, and background air quality information. They also include recommended assessment methodologies for air toxics, odors, and GHGs. The analysis below was prepared using these BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines.

Regional Significance Criteria
Table 3.2-7 shows the BAAQMD’s criteria for regional significance for project construction and operations.

In developing the above significance thresholds, the BAAQMD considers the emission levels for which a project’s individual emissions would be cumulatively considerable. If a project were to exceed the emission thresholds in Table 3.2-7, that project’s emissions would be cumulatively considerable, resulting in significant adverse air quality impacts to the region’s existing air quality 14 Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). 2017.

Health effects associated with PM include premature death of people with heart or lung disease, nonfatal heart attacks, irregular heartbeat, decreased lung function, and increased respiratory symptoms. Reducing emissions would further contribute to reducing possible health effects related to criteria air pollutants. However, for projects that exceed the emissions thresholds shown in Table 3.2-7, it is speculative to determine how exceeding regional thresholds would affect the number of days the region is in nonattainment—as mass emissions are not linearly correlated with concentrations of emissions—or how many additional individuals in the Air Basin would be affected by the health effects cited above.

In Sierra Club v. County of Fresno (Friant Ranch, LP) (2018) 6 Cal.5th 502, 510, 517-522, the California Supreme Court held generally that an EIR should “make a reasonable effort to substantively connect a project's air quality impacts to likely health consequences.” A possible example of such a connection would be to calculate a project’s “impact on the days of nonattainment per year” (Id. at pp. 521). But the court recognized that there might be scientific limitations on an agency’s ability to make the connection between air pollutant emissions and public health consequences in a credible fashion, given limitations in technical methodologies (Id. at pp. 520-521). Thus, the court acknowledged that another option for an agency preparing an EIR might be “to explain why it was not feasible to provide an analysis that connected the air quality effects to human health consequences” (Id. at p. 522).

Here, the BAAQMD is the primary agency responsible for ensuring the health and welfare of sensitive individuals to elevated concentrations of emissions in the Air Basin. At present, the BAAQMD has not provided any methodology to assist local governments in reasonably and accurately assessing the specific connection between mass emissions of ozone precursors (e.g., ROG and NOX) and other pollutants of concern on a regional basis and any specific effects on public health or regional air quality concentrations that might result from such mass emissions. The City has therefore concluded that it is not feasible to predict how mass emissions of pollutants of regional concern from the proposed project could lead to specific public health consequences, changes in pollutant concentrations, or changes in the number of days for which the SFBAAB will be in nonattainment for regional pollutants.

Ozone concentrations, for instance, depend upon various complex factors, including the presence of sunlight and precursor pollutants, natural topography, nearby structures that cause building downwash, atmospheric stability, and wind patterns. Because of the complexities of predicting ground-level ozone concentrations related to the NAAQS and CAAQS, it is not possible to link health risks to the magnitude of emissions exceeding the significance thresholds. To achieve the healthbased standards established by the EPA, the air districts prepare air quality management plans that detail regional programs to attain the Ambient Air Quality Standards (AAQS). However, if a project within the BAAQMD exceeds the regional significance thresholds, the proposed project could 15 Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). 2017.

On the other hand, it is technically feasible to predict with reasonable accuracy the potential localized health consequences of localized pollutants such as TACs and PM2.5. As discussed below, the consultants who prepared this section prepared a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) that addresses the potential for additional incidences of cancer resulting from both the construction-related emissions and the operational emissions of the proposed project.

Consistency with Air Quality Plan
The applicable air quality plan is BAAQMD’s 2017 Bay Area Clean Air Plan, which identifies measures to:
• Reduce emissions and reduce ambient concentrations of air pollutants; • Safeguard public health by reducing exposure to the air pollutants that pose the greatest health risk, with an emphasis on protecting the communities most heavily affected by air pollution; and
• Reduce GHG emissions to protect the climate.

A project would be determined to conflict with or obstruct implementation of an applicable air quality plan if it would result in substantial new regional emissions not foreseen in the air quality planning process.

Local CO Hotspots
Congested intersections have the potential to create elevated concentrations of CO, referred to as CO hotspots. The significance criteria for CO hotspots are based on the CAAQS for CO, which is 9.0 ppm (8-hour average) and 20.0 ppm (1-hour average). However, with the turnover of older vehicles, the introduction of cleaner fuels, and implementation of control technology, the SFBAAB is in the attainment of the CAAQS and NAAQS, and CO concentrations in the SFBAAB have steadily declined.

Because CO concentrations have improved, the BAAQMD does not require a CO hotspot analysis if all the following criteria are met:
• The project is consistent with an applicable congestion management program established by the County Congestion Management Agency for designated roads or highways, the regional transportation plan, and local congestion management agency plans; and • The project would not increase traffic volumes at affected intersections to more than 44,000 vehicles per hour; and
• The project traffic would not increase traffic volumes at affected intersection to more than 24,000 vehicles per hour where vertical and/or horizontal mixing is substantially limited (e.g., 220

Community Risk and Hazards
The BAAQMD’s significance thresholds for local community risk and hazard impacts apply to both the siting of a new source and to the siting of a new receptor. Local community risk and hazard impacts are associated with TACs and PM2.5 because emissions of these pollutants can have significant health impacts at the local level.
• The proposed project would generate TACs and PM2.5 during construction activities that could elevate concentrations of air pollutants at the nearby school and residential sensitive receptors. The thresholds for construction-related local community risk and hazard impacts are the same as for project operations. The BAAQMD has adopted screening tables for air toxics evaluation during construction.17 Construction-related TAC and PM2.5 impacts should be addressed on a case-by-case basis, considering each project's specific construction-related characteristics and proximity to off-site receptors, as applicable.18 • The proposed project involves the construction of new industrial warehouse facilities and would be a source of operational TACs and PM2.5 from trucking activity. The BAAQMD thresholds related to siting new sources of TACs and PM2.5 near existing or planned sensitive receptors are applicable.

Since the City of American Canyon does not have a qualified risk reduction plan, a site-specific analysis of TACs and PM2.5 impacts on sensitive receptors was conducted. The thresholds identified below are applied to the proposed project’s construction and operational phases.

Community Risk and Hazards: Project
Project-level emissions of TACs or PM2.5 from individual sources that exceed any of the thresholds listed below are considered a potentially significant community health risk:
• An excess cancer risk level of more than 10 in one million, or a non-cancer (i.e., chronic or acute) hazard index greater than 1.0 would be a significant cumulatively considerable contribution.
• An incremental increase of greater than 0.3 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m3) annual average PM2.5 from a single source would be a significant cumulatively considerable contribution.

A project would have a cumulatively considerable impact if the aggregate total of all past, present, and foreseeable future sources within a 1,000-foot radius from the fence line of a source or location of a receptor, plus the contribution from the proposed project, meets any of these conditions:
• Has excess cancer risk levels of more than 100 in one million or a chronic non-cancer hazard index (from all local sources) greater than 10.0.
• Exceeds 0.8 μg/m3 annual average PM2.5.

In February 2015, the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) adopted new HRA guidance that includes several efforts to be more protective of children’s health.

These updated procedures include age sensitivity factors to account for the higher sensitivity of infants and young children to cancer-causing chemicals, and age-specific breathing rates.19 Odors
The BAAQMD thresholds for odors are qualitative based on BAAQMD Regulation 7, Odorous Substances. This rule places general limitations on odorous substances and specific emission limitations on certain odorous compounds. Odors are also regulated under BAAQMD Regulation 1, Rule 1-301, Public Nuisance, which states that no person shall discharge from any source whatsoever such quantities of air contaminants or other material which cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to any considerable number of persons or the public; or which endangers the comfort, repose, health, or safety of any such persons or the public; or which causes, or has a natural tendency to cause, injury, or damage to business or property. Under BAAQMD Rule 1-301, the BAAQMD has established odor screening thresholds for land uses that have the potential to generate substantial odor complaints, including wastewater treatment plants, landfills or transfer stations, composting facilities, confined animal facilities, food manufacturing, and chemical plants. Table 3.2-8 shows the screening distances for various land uses that are considered to have objectionable odors.20

Approach to the Analysis
Emission factors represent the emission rate of a pollutant over a given time or activity; for example, grams of NOX per VMT or grams of NOX per horsepower-hour of equipment operation. The ARB has published emission factors for on-road mobile vehicles/trucks in the Emission Factors (EMFAC) mobile source emissions model and emission factors for off-road equipment and vehicles in the OFFROAD emissions model. Activity levels measure how active a piece of equipment is and can be represented as the amount of material processed, elapsed time that a piece of equipment is in operation, horsepower of a piece of equipment used, or VMT per day. An air emissions model (or calculator) combines the emission factors and the various levels of activity and outputs the emissions for the various pieces of equipment.

The California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) Version 2020.4.0 was developed in collaboration with the South Coast Air Quality Management District and other air districts throughout the State. CalEEMod is designed as a uniform platform for government agencies, land use planners, and environmental professionals to quantify potential criteria pollutant emissions associated with construction and operation from various land uses.

The modeling follows BAAQMD guidance where applicable from its CEQA Air Quality Guidelines. The following criteria air pollutants and precursors are assessed in this analysis:
• Reactive organic gases
• Nitrogen oxides (NOX)
• Carbon monoxide (CO)
• Particulate matter equal to or less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10) • Particulate matter equal to or less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5) 223

However, the proposed project would not directly emit ozone since it is formed in the atmosphere during the photochemical reactions of the ozone precursors.

At the time of this analysis, the construction of Phase 1 of the proposed project was anticipated to begin in early 2022 and be completed 10 months later. Construction of Phase 2 of the proposed project was expected to begin immediately following the completion of Phase 1 construction and be completed 10 months later. If the construction schedule moves to later years, construction emissions would likely decrease because of improvements in technology and more stringent regulatory requirements. In general, this analysis also included estimated project trip generation and trip length provided by W-Trans (Appendix H). As the proposed project is a speculative warehouse development which could accommodate cold storage and accompanying TRUs, this analysis considers two project scenarios: a cold warehouse project scenario and a dry warehouse project scenario. Where appropriate, both project scenarios are presented herein to determine project impacts.

Construction-related Criteria Pollutants
Construction emissions can vary substantially from day to day, depending on the level of activity, the specific type of operation, and prevailing weather conditions. Construction emissions result from both on-site and off-site activities. On-site emissions consist of exhaust emissions from the activity levels of heavy-duty construction equipment, motor vehicle operation, and fugitive dust (mainly PM10) from disturbed soil. Additionally, paving operations and the application of architectural coatings would release ROG emissions. Off-site emissions result from motor vehicle exhaust from delivery vehicles, worker traffic and road dust (PM10 and PM2.5).

Equipment Tiers and Emission Factors
Equipment tiers refer to a generation of emission standards established by the EPA and ARB that apply to diesel engines in off-road equipment. The “tier” of an engine depends on the model year and horsepower rating; generally, the newer a piece of equipment is, the greater the tier it is likely to have. Excluding engines greater than 750 horsepower, Tier 1 engines were manufactured generally between 1996 and 2003. Tier 2 engines were manufactured between 2001 and 2007. Tier 3 engines were manufactured between 2006 and 2011. Tier 4 engines are the newest and some incorporate hybrid electric technology; they have been manufactured since 2007.

Construction emissions are generally calculated as the product of an activity factor and an emission factor. The activity factor for construction equipment is a measure of how active a piece of equipment is and can be represented as the amount of material processed, elapsed time that a piece of equipment is in operation, horsepower of a piece of equipment used, or the amount of fuel consumed in a given amount of time. The emission factor relates the process activity to the amount of pollutant emitted. Examples of emission factors include grams of emissions per miles traveled and grams of emissions per horsepower-hour. The operation of a piece of equipment is tempered by its load factor, which is the average power of a given piece of equipment while in operation compared with its maximum rated horsepower. A load factor of 1.0 indicates that a piece of equipment continually operates at its maximum operating capacity. This analysis uses the CalEEMod default load factors for off-road equipment.

The operational-phase emissions are based on the development of the proposed industrial park. The modeling accounts for the average daily vehicle and truck trips and VMT, energy usage, water demand, and wastewater and solid waste generation. For purposes of this analysis, hours of operation for the proposed project are 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Transportation
On-road transportation sources are based on passenger vehicle and truck trip generation rates and VMT provided in the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIS) prepared by W-Trans for the proposed project (see Appendix H). According to the VMT information provided therein, the proposed project would result in an average employee daily VMT of 16.24 miles. As this VMT would represent all travel to and from the project site for employees, an average of 8.12 miles per vehicle trip was utilized in this analysis to estimate associated emissions from employee passenger vehicle activity. However, as provided in the TIS, the proposed project would also generate truck traffic for deliveries and shipments. As indicated by the project applicant, the most probable port of origin for freight deliveries and shipments would be the Port of Oakland, approximately 32.8 miles from the project site. Therefore, truck travel distances utilized in this analysis were assumed to be 32.8 miles per trip.

Furthermore, the proposed project would include locomotive operations beginning with operation of Phase 1. The quantity and frequency of rail shipments to the project site are currently unknown; therefore, various assumptions are utilized in this analysis to characterize future operations. For instance, according to the United States Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the average weight of a loaded railcar ranges from 63 to 67 tons;21 therefore, for the purposes of this analysis, a loaded railcar being shipped to the proposed project is assumed to weigh 65 tons on average. Assuming an average travel distance of 50 miles and an average loaded railcar weight of 65 tons,22 this would represent nearly two loaded, 20-railcar locomotive deliveries per week. Please refer to the locomotive emissions estimations contained in Appendix B for more details.

Other Operational Emissions
Solid Waste Disposal. Indirect emissions from waste generation are based on the CalEEMod default solid waste generation rates, which are based on data from the California Department of Resources, Recycling, and Recovery (CalRecycle).

Water/Wastewater. GHG emissions from this sector are associated with the embodied energy used to supply treat and distribute water, and then treat wastewater and fugitive GHG emissions from wastewater treatment. Indoor water consumption is based on CalEEMod default indoor water use rates.

Area Sources. Area and stationary sources are based on the CalEEMod defaults for use of consumer products and cleaning supplies.

Energy. Emissions from this sector are principally from use of natural gas for space and water heating at the proposed buildings.

Stationary Sources. Stationary sources are based on the anticipated stationary source equipment included in the proposed project. Given the type and size of the proposed project, the project applicant anticipates the use of a backup diesel generator and diesel-fueled fire pump for each of the proposed buildings; however, the exact specifications for this equipment is unknown at the time of this analysis. To account for potential operational emissions generated from the non-emergency use of this equipment, the proposed project was assumed to include three backup diesel generators and three diesel-fueled fire pumps, each assumed to be rated at 50 horsepower and operate for a four-hour maintenance period one day per month, totaling an estimated 48 hours of operation per year.

Construction- and Operation-related Toxic Air Contaminants TACs are air pollutants in minuscule amounts in the air that could increase the chances of experiencing health problems if a person receives exposure to them. Exposures to TAC emissions can have both chronic long-term (over a year or longer) and acute short-term (over a period of hours) health impacts. Construction-period TAC emissions could contribute to increased health risks to nearby residents or sensitive receptors.

This analysis assesses the potential health impacts to surrounding sensitive receptors resulting from TAC emissions during project construction. The TACs of greatest concern are those that cause serious health problems or affect many people. Health problems can include cancer, respiratory irritation, nervous system problems, and birth defects. Some health problems occur soon after a person inhales TACs. These immediate effects may be minor, such as watery eyes; or they may be serious, such as life-threatening lung damage. Other health problems may not appear until many months or years after a person’s first exposure to the TAC. Cancer is one example of a delayed health problem.

Fine particle pollution can be emitted directly or formed secondarily in the atmosphere. PM2.5 health impacts are important because their size can be deposited deep in the lungs, causing respiratory 226

For purposes of this analysis, exhaust emissions of DPM are represented as exhaust emissions of PM2.5. Studies indicate that DPM poses the greatest health risk among airborne TACs. A 10-year ARB research program demonstrated that DPM from diesel-fueled engines is a human carcinogen and that chronic (long-term) inhalation exposure to DPM poses a chronic long-term health risk. DPM differs from other TACs in that it is not a single substance but a complex mixture of hundreds of substances. Although diesel-fueled internal combustion engines emit DPM, the composition of the emissions varies, depending on engine type, operating conditions, fuel composition, lubricating oil, and whether an emission control system is present. The CalEEMod emissions model has been used to estimate DPM emissions during construction and operation of the proposed project.

Odors
The impact analysis qualitatively evaluates the types of land uses proposed to evaluate whether major sources of anticipated odors would be present and, if so, whether those sources would likely generate objectionable odors. According to the BAAQMD’s CEQA Air Quality Guidelines, a project that involves the siting of a new odor source would consider the screening-level distances and the complaint history of the odor sources, described below. Projects that would site a new odor source farther than the screening-level distances provided in Table 3.2-8 would not likely result in a significant odor impact.

3.2.5 - Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures
This section discusses potential impacts associated with the development of the proposed project and provides mitigation measures where appropriate.

Consistency with Air Quality Management Plan
Impact AIR-1: The proposed project would conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan.

Impact Analysis
The BAAQMD is responsible for reducing emissions from area, stationary, and mobile sources in the SFBAAB to achieve National and California AAQS. The BAAQMD 2017 Clean Air Plan is a regional and multiagency effort to reduce air pollution in the Air Basin. A consistency determination with the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) plays an important role in local agency project review by linking local planning and individual projects to the 2017 Clean Air Plan. It fulfills the CEQA goal of informing decision-makers of the proposed project's environmental effects under consideration early enough to ensure that air quality concerns are fully addressed. It also provides the local agency with ongoing information as to whether they are contributing to the clean air goals in the 2017 Clean Air Plan.

The BAAQMD compiles the regional emissions inventory for the SFBAAB. In part, the regional population, housing, and employment projections developed by the ABAG are based on cities’ general plan land use designations. These projections form the foundation for the emissions inventory of the 2017 Clean Air Plan. These demographic trends are incorporated into Plan Bay Area, compiled by ABAG and the MTC, to determine priority transportation projects and VMT in the Bay Area. Projects consistent with the local general plan are considered consistent with the regional air 227

Large projects that exceed regional employment, population, and housing planning projections have the potential to be inconsistent with the regional inventory compiled as part of the 2017 Clean Air Plan.

The proposed project would build a 2.4-million-square-foot logistics center on approximately 161 acres of the project site. The remaining approximately 47 acres would be preserved as open space.

The 94.7-acre area east of what will be Devlin Road would support two high-cube warehouse buildings totaling 1,069,904 square feet (Phase 1). Phase 2, the 113.1-acre area west of Devlin Road, would develop the remaining 1.3 million square feet of high-cube warehouse. The project site is designated “Industrial” by the City of American Canyon General Plan and zoned “General Industrial.” As previously described, demographics trends such as employment and population growth were estimated in ABAG’s Plan Bay Area 2040 based on local general plan land use patterns, which the BAAQMD utilized in part to inform the emissions inventory and projections contained in the 2017 Clean Air Plan. As a result, the ABAG regional population, housing, and employment estimates for this project site would be reasonably accounted for because the proposed project is consistent with these General Plan land use designations. Thus, the proposed project would generally be consistent with the underlying general plan land use designation and would not have the potential to substantially affect housing, employment, and population projections in the region that are the basis of the 2017 Clean Air Plan projections.

Table 3.2-9 identifies the control measures in the 2017 Clean Air Plan required by BAAQMD to reduce emissions for a wide range of stationary and mobile sources and the project’s consistency analysis with these control measures. As shown in Table 3.2-9, the proposed project would not conflict with the control measures of the 2017 Clean Air Plan.

strategies to increase waste diversion
rates through efforts to reduce, reuse,
and recycle. The proposed project
would comply with Assembly Bill (AB)
341, which requires mandatory
commercial recycling for businesses that
generate four cubic yards or more of
commercial solid waste per week.

Additionally, the proposed project
would be required to reduce
construction waste by 75 percent and
use 30 percent recycled content during
the construction of the proposed

As shown in Table 3.2-9, the proposed project would not conflict with the clean air measures contained in the Clean Air Plan after mitigation. Nonetheless, the BAAQMD’s CEQA Air Quality Guidelines further recommend determining a project’s consistency with the 2017 Clean Air Plan, in part, by determining a project’s consistency with the significance thresholds presented in Table 232

25 As discussed under Impact AIR-2, the proposed project would generate emissions which exceed the BAAQMD’s significance thresholds after the implementation of applicable and feasible mitigation and would result in a significant and unavoidable impact. Because the proposed project would exceed these thresholds after implementation of feasible mitigation, the proposed project would be considered by the BAAQMD to be a substantial emitter of criteria air pollutants. This impact would be significant and unavoidable.

As discussed under Impact AIR-2, the proposed project would generate criteria pollutant and ozone precursor emissions during construction and operation. The BAAQMD does not have a bright-line emissions threshold for determining potentially significant impacts related to construction fugitive dust. Instead, the BAAQMD determines a project to result in a potentially significant impact if that project were not to implement construction BMPs to minimize the extent of fugitive dust emissions, such as soil erosion, sediment migration, roadway dust re-entrainment, and soil trackout, during project construction. In the absence of specific information related to the proposed project’s intended implementation of construction BMPs to minimize fugitive dust emissions, the proposed project is assumed to not include any construction BMPs. Therefore, Mitigation Measure (MM) AIR2a would be required to ensure implementation of construction BMPs recommended by the BAAQMD irrespective of the emissions reductions achieved by those BMPs.

As discussed under Impact AIR-2, unmitigated project construction ROG emissions would exceed BAAQMD significance thresholds. Specifically, architectural coating activities during project construction would principally contribute to the exceedance. As such, MM AIR-2b would require project construction to utilize low-VOC (i.e., ROG) architectural coating products containing no greater than 50 grams of VOC per liter of product to reduce the generation of ROG emissions during architectural coating activities. Implementation of MM AIR-2b would result in reducing ROG emissions from 68 average pounds per day to 33 average pounds per day, which is below the BAAQMD significance threshold of 54 pounds per day for ROG emissions.

As discussed under Impact AIR-2, unmitigated project operation would result in ROG and NOX emissions which exceed BAAQMD significance thresholds. ROG emissions generated during project operation would principally be generated by consumer products, which cannot be sufficiently controlled by the proposed project due to the possible use of cleaning products, hairsprays, and other personal care products by employees. As ROG emissions generated under the control of the proposed project during project operation would principally be generated by the periodic reapplication of architectural coatings, MM AIR-2c would be required to ensure the use of low-VOC (i.e., ROG) architectural coating products that contain no more than 50 grams of VOC per liter of product to reduce the generation of ROG emissions during project operation. Additionally, as NOX emissions generated during project operation would principally be generated by the operation of the trucking fleet, irrespective of whether the fleet would accommodate the use of TRUs, MM AIR-2d would be required to ensure the trucking fleet accessing the project site would be comprised of vehicles no older than model year 2014 to reduce tailpipe NOX emissions. 25 Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). 2017.

Under a cold storage scenario, implementation of MM AIR-2c would result in a reduction of ROG emissions during project operation from approximately 16 tons per year and 90 average pounds per day to approximately 15 tons per year and 85 average pounds per day, which exceed the BAAQMD significance thresholds for ROG emissions of 10 tons per year and 54 average pounds per day.

Under a dry storage scenario, implementation of MM AIR-2d would result in a reduction of NOX emissions during project operation from approximately 40 tons per year and 217 average pounds per day to approximately 35 tons per year and 192 average pounds per day, which exceed the BAAQMD significance thresholds for NOX emissions of 10 tons per year and 54 average pounds per day. Under a cold storage scenario, implementation of MM AIR-2d would result in a reduction of NOX emissions during project operation from approximately 71 tons per year and 388 average pounds per day to approximately 66 tons per year and 362 average pounds per day, which exceed the BAAQMD significance thresholds for NOX emissions of 10 tons per year and 54 average pounds per day.

Consequently, implementation of MM AIR-2a and MM AIR-2b would sufficiently reduce project construction emissions to less than significant levels; however, implementation of MM AIR-2c and MM AIR-2d would not be sufficient to reduce project operation emissions to less than significant levels. Therefore, the proposed project would generate emissions which exceed the BAAQMD’s significance thresholds after the implementation of applicable and feasible mitigation and would result in a significant and unavoidable impact. As previously discussed, the BAAQMD’s CEQA Air Quality Guidelines recommend determining a project’s consistency with the 2017 Clean Air Plan, in part, by determining a project’s consistency with the BAAQMD significance thresholds. Because the proposed project would exceed significance thresholds after mitigation, resulting in a significant and unavoidable impact, the proposed project would be inconsistent with the 2017 Clean Air Plan.

Therefore, this impact would be significant unavoidable impact after the incorporation of identified mitigation.

Impact AIR-2: The proposed project would result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is nonattainment under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard.

Impact Analysis
This impact is related to the cumulative effect of a project’s regional criteria pollutant emissions. By its nature, air pollution is largely a cumulative impact resulting from emissions generated over a large geographic region. The nonattainment status of regional pollutants results from past and present development within the Air Basin, and this regional impact is a cumulative impact.

Therefore, new development projects (such as the proposed project) within the Air Basin would contribute to this impact only on a cumulative basis. No single project would be sufficient in size, by itself, to result in nonattainment of regional air quality standards. Instead, a project’s emissions may be individually limited, but cumulatively considerable when evaluated in combination with past, present, and future development projects.

Potential localized and regional impacts would result in exceedances of State or federal standards for NOX, particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), or CO. NOX emissions are of concern because of potential health impacts from exposure to NOX emissions during both construction and operation and as a precursor in the formation of airborne ozone. PM10 and PM2.5 are of concern during construction because of the potential to emit exhaust emissions from the operation of off-road construction equipment and fugitive dust during earth-disturbing activities (construction fugitive dust). CO emissions are of concern during project operation because operational CO hotspots are related to increases in on-road vehicle congestion and potential health effects.

ROG emissions are also important because of their participation in the formation of ground-level ozone. Ozone is a respiratory irritant and an oxidant that increases susceptibility to respiratory infections and can cause substantial damage to vegetation and other materials. Elevated ozone concentrations result in reduced lung function, particularly during vigorous physical activity. This health problem is particularly acute in sensitive receptors such as the sick, elderly, and young children.

The cumulative analysis focuses on whether a specific project would result in cumulatively considerable emissions. According to Section 15064(h)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines, the existence of significant cumulative impacts caused by other projects alone does not constitute substantial evidence that the project’s incremental effects would be cumulatively considerable. Rather, the determination of cumulative air quality impacts for construction and operational emissions is based on whether the project would result in regional emissions that exceed the BAAQMD regional thresholds of significance for construction and operations on a project level. The significance thresholds represent the allowable amount of emissions each project can generate without generating a cumulatively considerable contribution to regional air quality impacts. Therefore, a project that would not exceed the BAAQMD thresholds of significance on the project level also would not be considered to result in a cumulatively considerable contribution to these regional air quality impacts. Construction and operational emissions are discussed separately below. 235

During construction, fugitive dust would be generated from site grading and other earthmoving activities. The majority of this fugitive dust would remain localized and deposited near the project site; however, fugitive dust's potential impacts exist unless control measures are implemented to reduce this source's emissions. Exhaust emissions would also be generated from the operation of the off-road construction equipment and on-road construction vehicles.

Construction Fugitive Dust
The BAAQMD does not recommend a numerical threshold for fugitive dust PM emissions. Instead, the BAAQMD bases the determination of significance for fugitive dust on a consideration of the control measures to be implemented, referred to as BMPs. If all appropriate emissions control measures are implemented for a project as recommended by the BAAQMD, then fugitive dust emissions during construction are not considered significant. Therefore, the BAAQMD determines a project to result in a potentially significant impact if that project were not to implement construction BMPs to minimize the extent of fugitive dust emissions, such as soil erosion, sediment migration, roadway dust re-entrainment, and soil trackout, during project construction. In the absence of specific information related to the proposed project’s intended implementation of construction BMPs to minimize fugitive dust emissions, the proposed project is assumed to not include any construction BMPs. Therefore, MM AIR-2a would be required to ensure implementation of construction BMPs recommended by the BAAQMD irrespective of the emissions reductions achieved by those BMPs. With the incorporation of this mitigation, short-term construction impacts associated with violating an air quality standard or contributing substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation would be less than significant for fugitive dust.

Construction Air Pollutant Emissions: ROG, NOX, PM10, PM2.5 CalEEMod, Version 2020.4.0, was used to estimate the proposed project’s construction emissions.

CalEEMod provides a consistent platform for estimating construction and operational emissions from various land use projects and is the model recommended by the BAAQMD for estimating project emissions. Estimated construction emissions are compared with the applicable thresholds of significance established by the BAAQMD to assess ROG, NOX, exhaust PM10, and exhaust PM2.5 construction emissions to determine significance for this impact.

Construction activities such as grading, excavation, and travel on unpaved surfaces would generate dust and lead to elevated concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5. According to the project site plans dated November 11, 2020, an estimated 5,400 cubic yards are anticipated to be imported during Phase 1 grading activities, and, according to telephone correspondence with the project applicant, Phase 2 is assumed to balance grading activities on-site. As the BAAQMD dust control measures would be required to ensure fugitive dust impacts are less than significant, the emission estimates shown 236

Operational Air Pollutant Emissions: ROG, NOX, PM10, PM2.5 Operational emissions would include area, energy, and mobile sources. Area sources would include emissions from architectural coatings, consumer products, and landscape equipment. Energy sources include emissions from the combustion of natural gas for water heaters and other heat sources. Mobile sources include exhaust and road dust emissions from the automobiles that would travel to and from the project site. Mobile sources also include exhaust from trailer-mounted TRUs which would accompany any freight truck carrying refrigerated goods. Stationary sources include emissions from stationary source equipment, such as backup generators, that would require a permit issued by the BAAQMD. Pollutants of concern include ROG, NOX, PM10, and PM2.5.

Project operations were analyzed at full buildout immediately following the completion of construction for Phase 2 in August 2023 as a conservative estimate of operational emissions beginning in the earliest year of full operation. According to the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) prepared for the proposed project, 26 during full operation, the proposed project is expected to generate an estimated 528 daily truck trips and 2,832 daily passenger vehicle trips. According to the site plan set for the proposed project, dated November 11, 2020, Phase 1 of the proposed project would construct a warehouse that will connect to the existing railroad bordering the eastern boundary of the project site. Because of the lack of information regarding the potential future tenants, the proposed warehouse space is analyzed for a cold storage scenario and a dry storage scenario.

The cold storage project scenario would also include the operation of TRUs. In the absence of specific project information, all TRUs analyzed herein utilize weighted averages for emission factors retrieved from the ARB’s OFFROAD2017 database for in-state truck TRUs, in-state van TRUs, in-state gen-set TRUs, in-state trailer TRUs, out-of-state gen-set TRUs, out-of-state trailer TRUs, and locomotive TRUs, all utilizing aggregate horsepower bins. These vehicle categories were selected as they encompass all possible TRU emission factors contained in the ARB’s OFFROAD2017 database. As each truck is assumed to be accompanied by a TRU under the cold storage scenario and each of the 528 truck trips is one-way, this analysis assumes a truck and TRU population of 266. Each TRU is assumed to spend an average of four hours running on-site for unloading and loading purposes,27 and an average of two hours off-site traveling to and from the Port of Oakland—the closest major freight origin.

Furthermore, in the absence of more specific information, the locomotive emission estimates contained herein assume a monthly average of 500,000 ton-miles of product and material locomotive deliveries. Assuming an average travel distance of 50 miles and an average loaded railcar weight of 65 tons,
28 this would represent nearly two loaded, 20-railcar locomotive deliveries per week. 26 W-Trans. 2021. Traffic Impact Study for the Giovannoni Logistics Center. March 11. 27 California Air Resources Board (ARB). 2021. Appendix I Health Analyses: Transport Refrigeration Units. Website:

Table 3.2-12 indicates that the proposed project would result in operational-related criteria air pollutants or ozone precursors which would exceed the BAAQMD’s thresholds of significance, specifically with respect to ROG and NOX emissions. As area sources would generate the majority of operational ROG emissions, MM AIR-2c would be required to ensure the use of low-VOC architectural coatings for any reapplication of paints and coatings and the use of electric landscaping equipment, including chainsaws, lawnmowers, and leaf blowers during project operation. In addition, as the trucking fleet would generate the majority of operational NOX emissions, MM AIR-2d would be required to ensure that a more fuel-efficient, lower-emission trucking fleet—one which demonstrates a model year 2014 or newer for all heavy-duty trucks upon first implementation—is utilized during project operation. Model year 2014 was selected because it is the first homogenous model year for a trucking fleet in Napa County to demonstrate a reduction in NOX emissions when compared with unmitigated emission estimates. This is considered a feasible trucking mitigation measure as the ARB’s Truck and Bus Regulation29 would otherwise require trucks greater than a 26,000-pound gross vehicle weight rating which operate in California be no older than 2010 model year by the time the proposed project would become operational in 2023. This would allow the proposed project to utilize trucks which are 9 years old and would not constitute an infeasible financial burden.

Table 3.2-13 displays emissions generated by project operation with the implementation of MMs AIR-2c and AIR-2d. As shown therein, under a dry storage scenario, implementation of MM AIR-2c would result in a reduction of ROG emissions during project operation from approximately 13 tons per year and 70 average pounds per day to approximately 12 tons per year and 64 average pounds per day, which exceed the BAAQMD significance thresholds for ROG emissions of 10 tons per year 29 California Air Resources Board (ARB). 2019.

As previously discussed, unmitigated project operation would result in ROG and NOX emissions which exceed BAAQMD significance thresholds. ROG emissions generated during project operation would principally be generated by consumer products, which cannot be sufficiently controlled by the proposed project due to the possible use of cleaning products, hairsprays, and other personal care products by employees. As ROG emissions generated under the control of the proposed project during project operation would principally be generated by the periodic reapplication of architectural coatings, MM AIR-2c would be required to ensure the use of low-VOC (i.e., ROG) architectural coating products that contain no more than 50 grams of VOC per liter of product to reduce the generation of ROG emissions during project operation. Additionally, as NOX emissions generated during project operation would principally be generated by the operation of the trucking fleet, irrespective of whether the fleet would accommodate the use of TRUs, MM AIR-2d would be 243

It is important to note that the principal source for operational ROG emissions would be the use of consumer products by employees and visitors. Consumer products in this context consist of cleaning solvents and personal care products, such as hairspray. CalEEMod, Version 2020.4.0, utilizes a Statewide average VOC (i.e., ROG) per building square foot metric, irrespective of land use type, derived from the ARB’s Statewide 2008 Consumer Product Inventory. 30 Because of this assumption
built into the emissions modeling, nonresidential land uses, such as the proposed project, are likely to result in fewer operational ROG emissions generated by the use of consumer products than what is demonstrated in this analysis. Nonetheless, more accurate information is not available for the use of consumer products during project operation, thus this assumption must be relied upon for purposes of this analysis. In addition, because consumer products would be consumed by employees and visitors on-site and the use of those products would not be under the control of the property owner or tenant, consumer products cannot be guaranteed to be regulated through mitigation. As such, mitigation targeting the use of consumer products was omitted from this analysis.

Operational Carbon Monoxide Hotspot
The CO emissions from traffic generated by the proposed project are a concern at the local level.

Congested intersections can result in high, localized concentrations of CO.

The BAAQMD recommends a screening analysis to determine whether a project has the potential to contribute to a CO hotspot. The screening criteria identify when site-specific CO dispersion modeling is necessary. The proposed project would result in a less than significant impact to air quality for local CO if all the following screening criteria are met:

1. The project is consistent with an applicable congestion management program established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways, regional transportation plan, and local congestion management agency plans; and

2. The project traffic would not increase traffic volumes at affected intersections to more than 44,000 vehicles per hour; and

3. The project traffic would not increase traffic volumes at affected intersections to more than 24,000 vehicles per hour where vertical and/or horizontal mixing is substantially limited (e.g., tunnel, parking garage, bridge underpass, natural or urban street canyon, below-grade roadway).

As indicated in the TIS prepared for the proposed project, 31 no intersections impacted by the
proposed project would experience traffic volumes of 44,000 vehicles per hour. According to the TIS, the study intersection which would experience the most traffic volume during the ‘Existing Plus Project Traffic Volumes’ scenario during AM and PM peak-hours would be the intersection of South 30 California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA). 2021.

As discussed therein, that intersection would experience an estimated 3,622 AM peak-hours vehicle trips and 3,338 PM peak-hour vehicle trips with the implementation of the proposed project. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any nearby intersection having peak-hour traffic volumes exceeding 44,000 vehicles per hour.

Nonetheless, CO hotspots can occur when a transportation facility’s design or orientation prevents the adequate dispersion of CO emissions from vehicles, resulting in the accumulation of local CO concentrations. The design or orientation of a transportation facility that may prevent the dispersion of CO emissions include tunnels, parking garages, bridge underpasses, natural or urban canyons, below-grade roadways, or other features where vertical or horizontal atmospheric mixing is substantially limited. Adjacent roadways that would receive new vehicle trips generated by the proposed project do not include roadway segments where vertical or horizontal atmospheric mixing is substantially limited.

Finally, the proposed project would not conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy of the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. As discussed in Section 3.12, Transportation, all studied roadway segments and intersections would operate at acceptable levels of service with traffic generated by the proposed project in combination with existing traffic levels. Additionally, as described in Section 3.12, Transportation, because the proposed project would operate at acceptable levels of service consistent with the City of American Canyon standards, then the proposed project would be consistent with an adopted congestion management program. Therefore, based on the above criteria, the proposed project would not exceed the CO screening criteria and would have a less than significant impact related to CO.

The proposed project would generate criteria pollutant and ozone precursor emissions during construction and operation. The BAAQMD does not have a bright-line emissions threshold for determining potentially significant impacts related to construction fugitive dust. Instead, the BAAQMD determines a project to result in a potentially significant impact if that project were not to implement construction BMPs to minimize the extent of fugitive dust emissions, such as soil erosion, sediment migration, roadway dust re-entrainment, and soil trackout, during project construction. In the absence of specific information related to the proposed project’s intended implementation of construction BMPs to minimize fugitive dust emissions, the proposed project is assumed to not include any construction BMPs. Therefore, MM AIR-2a would be required to ensure implementation of construction BMPs recommended by the BAAQMD irrespective of the emissions reductions achieved by those BMPs.

Unmitigated project construction ROG emissions would exceed BAAQMD significance thresholds.

Specifically, architectural coating activities during project construction would principally contribute to the exceedance. As such, MM AIR-2b would require project construction to utilize low-VOC (i.e., ROG) architectural coating products containing no greater than 50 grams of VOC per liter of product to reduce the generation of ROG emissions during architectural coating activities. Implementation of MM AIR-2b would result in reducing ROG emissions from 68 average pounds per day to 33 average pounds per day, which is below the BAAQMD significance threshold of 54 pounds per day for ROG emissions.

Under a dry storage scenario, implementation of MM AIR-2c would result in a reduction of ROG emissions during project operation from approximately 13 tons per year and 70 average pounds per day to approximately 12 tons per year and 64 average pounds per day, which exceed the BAAQMD significance thresholds for ROG emissions of 10 tons per year and 54 average pounds per day. Under a cold storage scenario, implementation of MM AIR-2c would result in a reduction of ROG emissions during project operation from approximately 16 tons per year and 90 average pounds per day to approximately 15 tons per year and 85 average pounds per day, which exceed the BAAQMD significance thresholds for ROG emissions of 10 tons per year and 54 average pounds per day.

MM AIR-2a The following Best Management Practices (BMPs), as recommended by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), shall be included in the design of the project and implemented during construction:
• All active construction areas shall be watered at least two times per day. • All exposed non-paved surfaces (e.g., parking areas, staging areas, soil piles, graded areas, and access roads) shall be watered at least three times per day and/or non-toxic soil stabilizers shall be applied to exposed non-paved surfaces. • All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material off-site shall be covered and/or shall maintain at least 2 feet of freeboard. • All visible mud or dirt tracked out onto adjacent public roads shall be removed using wet power vacuum street sweepers at least once per day. The use of dry power sweeping is prohibited.
• All vehicle speeds on unpaved roads shall be limited to 15 miles per hour. • All roadways, driveways, and sidewalks to be paved shall be completed as soon as possible. Building pads shall be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used.
• Idling times shall be minimized either by shutting equipment off when not in use or reducing the maximum idling time to 5 minutes (as required by the California Airborne Toxics Control Measure (ATCM) Title 13, Section 2485 of California Code of Regulations). Clear signage regarding idling restrictions shall be provided for construction workers at all access points.
• All construction equipment shall be maintained and properly tuned in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. All equipment shall be checked by a certified mechanic and determined to be running in proper condition prior to operation. • The prime construction contractor shall post a publicly visible sign with the telephone number and person to contact regarding dust complaints. The City and the construction contractor shall take corrective action within 48 hours. The BAAQMD’s phone number shall also be visible to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

MM AIR-2b Prior to the issuance of grading or building permits, the project applicant shall provide the City with documentation demonstrating the use of “Low-VOC” architectural coatings during the proposed project's construction. “Low-VOC” architectural coatings used during project construction shall not exceed 50 grams of reactive organic gases (ROG) or volatile organic compounds (VOC) per liter of product.

MM AIR-2c Prior to issuing any certificate of occupancy for the proposed project, the project applicant shall provide the City with documentation demonstrating the use of “LowVOC” architectural coatings and electric landscaping equipment during the operation of the proposed project. “Low-VOC” architectural coatings used during project construction shall not exceed 50 grams of reactive organic gases (ROG) or 247

Landscaping equipment referred to in this requirement shall include lawnmowers, leaf blowers, and chainsaws.

MM AIR-2d Prior to issuing the certificate of occupancy for the proposed project, the project applicant shall provide the City with documentation demonstrating the use of a truck fleet that meets or exceeds model year 2014 for all heavy-duty trucks during operation of the proposed project. If the project applicant does not own the truck fleet that would be used during operation of the proposed project, the project applicant shall provide the City with documentation from the truck fleet owner or operator demonstrating that trucks utilized for operation of the proposed project will meet or exceed model year 2014. If any change occurs where a new truck fleet is utilized during operation of the proposed project, the project applicant shall provide the City with documentation demonstrating that the new truck fleet meets or exceeds this requirement.

To monitor and ensure that trucks that meet a model year of 2014 or newer are used for the proposed project, the fleet operator shall maintain records of all trucks and equipment associated with the proposed project’s operation and make these records available to the City upon request. Alternatively, the City may require periodic reporting and provision of written records by operators and conduct regular inspections of the records to the maximum extent feasible and practicable.

Level of Significance After Mitigation
Significant unavoidable impact.

Sensitive Receptors Exposure to Pollutant Concentrations Impact AIR-3: The proposed project would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations.

Impact Analysis
The proposed project could expose sensitive receptors to elevated pollutant concentrations if it causes or contributes significantly to elevated pollutant concentration levels. As described in Section 3.2.2, Environmental Setting, beneath Table 3.2-6, the closest sensitive receptors include a single-family residence located approximately 200 feet south of the project site, as well as Calvary Baptist Christian Academy. Unlike regional emissions, localized emissions are typically evaluated in terms of air concentration rather than mass so they can be more readily correlated to potential health effects. As the proposed project would constitute the development of approximately 2.4 million square feet of industrial warehouse space and the operation of heavy-duty trucking fleets, a construction and operational HRA was prepared for the proposed project and is contained in Appendix B. The results of the HRA are summarized below.

Construction and Operational Related Diesel Particulate Matter Because the proposed project could accommodate the construction and operation of 2.4 million square feet of cold storage space and the subsequent operation of TRUs in addition to truck and passenger vehicle activities, the HRA herein analyzes the cold storage project scenario as a conservative assessment. As shown in Table 3.2-14, health risks resulting from the construction and operation of a cold storage project scenario were found to be less than the BAAQMD’s project-level significance thresholds.

Table 3.2-14 presents a summary of the results of the HRA prepared for the proposed project during project construction and operation. As previously discussed, the proposed project would develop Phase 1, which would become operational immediately following the completion of construction activities. As Phase 1 would become operational, Phase 2 of the proposed project would begin construction, resulting in an overlap of construction and operational emissions. As such, the HRA analyzes the proposed project’s Phase 1 construction DPM emissions for the first year, Phase 1 operational and Phase 2 construction DPM emissions for the second year, and Phase 1 and 2 operational DPM emissions for the remainder of the 30-year exposure duration, consistent with the BAAQMD’s Health Risk Assessment Guidelines.32 The HRA also analyzes the proposed project’s Phase 1 construction DPM emissions for the first year; Phase 1 operational and Phase 2 construction DPM emissions for the second year; Phase 1 and 2 operational DPM emissions of school receptor exposure at the Calvary Baptist Christian Academy; and the proposed project’s operational DPM emission concentrations for the remainder of the 13-year exposure duration for a K-12 school, consistent with the BAAQMD’s Health Risk Assessment Guidelines.

Because the proposed project could accommodate the construction and operation of 2.4 million square feet of cold storage space and the subsequent operation of TRUs in addition to truck and passenger vehicle activities, the HRA herein analyzes the cold storage project scenario as a conservative assessment. As shown in Table 3.2-14, health risks resulting from the construction and operation of a cold storage project scenario were found to be less than the BAAQMD’s project-level significance thresholds.
