Section B: Op timize Site Utilization (LID Principles)
Review of the information collected in Section ‘A’ will aid in identifying the principal constraints on
site design and selection of LID BMPs as well as opportunities to reduce imperviousness and incorporate LID Principles into the site and landscape design. For example, constraints might in
clude impermeable soils, high groundwater, groundwater pollution or contaminated soils, steep slopes, geotechnical instability, high-intensity land use, heavy pedestrian or vehicular traffic, utility locations or safety concerns. Opportunities might include existing natural areas, low areas, od
dly configured or otherwise unbuildable parcels, easements and landscape amenities including open space and buffers (which can double as locations for bioretention BMPs), and differences in elevation (which can provide hydraulic head). Prepare a brief narrative for each of the site optimization strategies described below. This narrative will help you as you proceed with your LID design and explain your design decisions to others.
The 2010 Santa Ana MS4 Permit further requires that LID Retention BMPs (Infiltration Only or Harvest and Use) be used unless it can be shown that those BMPs are infeasible. Therefore, it is important that your narrative identify and justify if there are any constraints that would prevent the use of those categories of LID BMPs. Similarly, you should also note opportunities that exist which will be utilized during project design. Upon completion of identifying Constraints and Opportunities, include these on your WQMP Site plan in Appendix 1.
Consideration of “highest and best use” of the discharge should also be considered. For example, Lake Elsinore is evaporating faster than runoff from natural precipitation can recharge it.
Requiring infiltration of 85% of runoff events for projects tributary to Lake Elsinore would only exacerbate current water quality problems associated with Pollutant concentration due to lake water evaporation. In cases where rainfall events have low potential to recharge Lake Elsinore (i.e. no hydraulic connection between groundwater to Lake Elsinore, or other factors), requiring infiltration of Urban Runoff from projects is counterproductive to the overall watershed goals.
Project proponents, in these cases, would be allowed to discharge Urban Runoff, provided they used equally effective filtration-based BMPs.
Site Optimization
The following questions are based upon Section 3.2 of the WQMP Guidance Document. Review of
the WQMP Guidance Document will help you determine how best to optimize your site and subsequently identify opportunities and/or constraints, and document compliance.
Did you identify and preserve existing drainage patterns? If so, how? If not, why? Yes, the site keeps the drainage with half proceeding northeast and the other half proceeding southwest. The northeast does not connect to any City storm drain system. It currently sits and infiltrates. The southwest discharges to Railroad Avenue and into the City storm drain system.
Did you identify and protect existing vegetation? If so, how? If not, why? Vegetation has been identified; however, the existing vegetation is proposed for demolition to fit within the new site plan. The existing vegetation does not meet current development standards and will need to be removed. New drought tolerant landscaping is proposed throughout the site.
Did you identify and preserve natural infiltration capacity? If so, how? If not, why? A preliminary Geotechnical study is currently being prepared. However, based on discussions with Torrent, there are various drywells since there infiltration rates are adequate.
Did you identify and minimize impervious area? If so, how? If not, why? PR-2022-001434 (GP, RZ, DR, VC-S) Exhibit 10 - Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration and Appendices - 9 -
The current site is undeveloped. Therefore, the proposed impervious area is greater than the ex
isting.
Did you identify and disperse runoff to adjacent pervious areas? If so, how? If not, why? Yes, the drainage from the building roods and interior roadways will be collected and sent to an underground 48” storm drain system and into injection drywells.

D.2 Harvest and Use Assessment
Please check what applies:
☐ Reclaimed water will be used for the non-potable water demands for the project. ☐Downstream water rights may be impacted by Harvest and Use as approved by the Regional Board (verify with the Copermittee).
☐The Design Capture Volume will be addressed using Infiltration Only BMPs. In such a case, Harvest and Use BMPs are still encouraged, but it would not be required if the Design Capture Volume will be infiltrated or evapotranspired.
If any of the above boxes have been checked, Harvest and Use BMPs need not be assessed for the site. If none of the above criteria applies, follow the steps below to assess the feasibility of irrigation use, toilet use and other non-potable uses (e.g., industrial use).
Irrigation Use Feasibility
Co
mplete the following steps to determine the feasibility of harvesting stormwater runoff for Irrigation Use BMPs on your site:
Step 1: Identify the total area of irrigated landscape on the site, and the type of landscaping used.
Total Area of Irrigated Landscape : 1.1 acres
Type of Landscaping (Conservation Design or Active Turf) : Conservation Design Step 2: Identify the planned total of all impervious areas on the proposed project from which runoff might be feasibly captured and stored for irrigation use. Depending on the configuration of buildings and other impervious areas on the site, you may consider the site as a whole, or parts of the site, to evaluate reasonable scenarios for capturing and storing runoff and directing the stored runoff to the potential use(s) identified in Step 1 above.
Total Area of Impervious Surfaces: 2.83 acres
Step 3: Cross reference the Design Storm depth for the project site (see Exhibit A of the WQMP Guidance Document) with the left column of Table 2-3 in Chapter 2 to determine the minimum area of Effective Irrigated Area per Tributary Impervious Area (EIATIA).
Enter your EIATIA factor : 0.52
Step 4: Multiply the unit value obtained from Step 3 by the total of impervious areas from Step 2 to develop the minimum irrigated area that would be required.
Minimum required irrigated area : 1.47 acres
Step 5: Determine if harvesting stormwater runoff for irrigation use is feasible for the project by comparing the total area of irrigated landscape (Step 1) to the minimum required irrigated area (Step 4).
Minimum required irrigated area (Step 4) Available Irrigated Landscape (Step 1)
1.47 acres 1.1 acres
PR-2022-001434 (GP, RZ, DR, VC-S) Exhibit 10 - Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration and Appendices - 13 -
Toilet Use Feasibility
Complete the following steps to determine the feasibility of harvesting stormwater runoff for toilet flus
hing uses on your site:
Step 1: Identify the projected total number of daily toilet users during the wet season, and account for any periodic shut downs or other lapses in occupancy:
Projected Number of Daily Toilet Users: Approximately 1000 Project Type: Approx 75% Residential
Step 2: Identify the planned total of all impervious areas on the proposed project from which runoff might be feasibly captured and stored for toilet use. Depending on the configuration of buildings and other impervious areas on the site, you may consider the site as a whole, or parts of the site, to evaluate reasonable scenarios for capturing and storing runoff and directing the stored runoff to the potential use(s) identified in Step 1 above.
Total Area of Impervious Surfaces: 2.83 acres
Step 3: Enter the Design Storm depth for the project site (see Exhibit A) into the left column of Table 2- 2 in Chapter 2 to determine the minimum number or toilet users per tributary impervious acre (TUTIA).
Enter your TUTIA factor: 93
Step 4: Multiply the unit value obtained from Step 3 by the total of impervious areas from Step 2 to develop the minimum number of toilet users that would be required.
Minimum number of toilet users: 272
Step 5: Determine if harvesting stormwater runoff for toilet flushing use is feasible for the project by comparing the Number of Daily Toilet Users (Step 1) to the minimum required number of toilet users (Step 4).
Minimum required Toilet Users (Step 4) Projected number of toilet users (Step 1) 272 1000
Other Non-Potable Use Feasibility
Ar
e there other non-potable uses for stormwater runoff on the site (e.g. industrial use)? See Chapter 2 of the Guidance for further information. If yes, describe below. If no, write N/A.

Each LID BMP must be designed to ensure that the Design Capture Volume will be addressed by the se
lected BMPs. First, calculate the Design Capture Volume for each LID BMP using the V BMP worksheet in Ap
pendix F of the LID BMP Design Handbook. Second, design the LID BMP to meet the required VBMP using a m
ethod approved by the Copermittee. Utilize the worksheets found in the LID BMP Design Handbook or consult with your Copermittee to assist you in correctly sizing your LID BMPs. Complete Table D.3 below to document the Design Capture Volume and the Proposed Volume for each LID BMP. Provide the completed design procedure sheets for each LID BMP in Appendix 6. You may add additional rows to the table below as needed.

Section E: Alte rnative Compliance (LID Waiver Program) LID BMPs are expected to be feasible on virtually all projects. Where LID BMPs have been demonstrated to
be infeasible as documented in Section D, other Treatment Control BMPs must be used (subject to LID waiver approval by the Copermittee). Check one of the following Boxes:
☒ LID Principles and LID BMPs have been incorporated into the site design to fully address all Drainage Management Areas. No alternative compliance measures are required for this project and thus this Section is not required to be completed.
- Or -
☐ The following Drainage Management Areas are unable to be addressed using LID BMPs. A site- specific analysis demonstrating technical infeasibility of LID BMPs has been approved by the Co- Permittee and included in Appendix 5. Additionally, no downstream regional and/or sub-regional LID BMPs exist or are available for use by the project. The following alternative compliance measures on the following pages are being implemented to ensure that any pollutant loads expected to be discharged by not incorporating LID BMPs, are fully mitigated.

Section F: Hydromodification
F
.1 Hydrologic Conditions of Concern (HCOC) Analysis
On
ce you have determined that the LID design is adequate to address water quality requirements, you will need to assess if the proposed LID Design may still create a HCOC. Review Chapters 2 and 3 (including Figure 3-7) of the WQMP Guidance Document to determine if your project must mitigate for Hydromodification impacts. If your project meets one of the following criteria which will be indicated by the check boxes below, you do not need to address Hydromodification at this time. However, if the project does not qualify for Exemptions 1, 2 or 3, then additional measures must be added to the design to comply with HCOC criteria. This is discussed in further detail below in Section F.2.
HC
OC EXEMPTION 1: The Priority Development Project disturbs less than one acre. The Copermittee has the discretion to require a Project-Specific WQMP to address HCOCs on projects less than one acre on a case by case basis. The disturbed area calculation should include all disturbances associated with larger common plans of development.
Does the project qualify for this HCOC Exemption?
Y N
If Yes, HCOC criteria do not apply.
HCOC EXEMPTION 2 : The volume and time of concentration 1 of storm water runoff for the post- de
velopment condition is not significantly different from the pre-development condition for a 2-year return frequency storm (a difference of 5% or less is considered insignificant) using one of the following methods to calculate:
• Riverside County Hydrology Manual
• Technical Release 55 (TR-55): Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds (NRCS 1986), or derivatives thereof, such as the Santa Barbara Urban Hydrograph Method • Other methods acceptable to the Co-Permittee
Does the project qualify for this HCOC Exemption?
Y N
If Yes, report results in Table F.1 below and provide your substantiated hydrologic analysis in Appendix 7.
Table F.1 Hydrologic Conditions of Concern Summary
2 year – 24 hour
Pre-condition Post-condition % Difference

2 HCOC Mitigation
If none of the above HCOC Exemption Criteria are applicable, HCOC criteria is considered mitigated if they meet one of the following conditions:
a. Additional LID BMPS are implemented o nsite or offsite to mitigate potential erosion or habitat impacts as a result of HCOCs. This can be conducted by an evaluation of site-specific conditions utilizing accepted professional methodologies published by entities such as the California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA), the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCRWP), or other Co-Permittee approved methodologies for site-specific HCOC analysis.
b. The project is developed consistent with an approved Watershed Action Plan that addresses HCOC in Receiving Waters.
c. Mimicking the pre-development hydrograph with the post-development hydrograph, for a 2-year return frequency storm. Generally, the hydrologic conditions of concern are not significant, if the post-development hydrograph is no more than 10% greater than pre-development hydrograph.
In cases where excess volume cannot be infiltrated or captured and reused, discharge from the site must be limited to a flow rate no greater than 110% of the pre-development 2-year peak flow.
Section G: Source Control BMPs
S
ource control BMPs include permanent, structural features that may be required in your project plans — su
ch as roofs over and berms around trash and recycling areas — and Operational BMPs, such as regular sweeping and “housekeeping”, that must be implemented by the site’s occupant or user. The MEP standard typically requires both types of BMPs. In general, Operational BMPs cannot be substituted for a feasible and effective permanent BMP. Using the Pollutant Sources/Source Control Checklist in Appendix 8, review the following procedure to specify Source Control BMPs for your site:
1. Identify Pollutant Sources: Review Column 1 in the Pollutant Sources/Source Control Checklist. Check off the potential sources of Pollutants that apply to your site.
2. Note Locations on Project-Specific WQMP Exhibit : Note the corresponding requirements listed in Column 2 of the Pollutant Sources/Source Control Checklist. Show the location of each Pollutant source and each permanent Source Control BMP in your Project-Specific WQMP Exhibit located in Appendix 1.
3. Prepare a Table and Narrative : Check off the corresponding requirements listed in Column 3 in the Pollutant Sources/Source Control Checklist. In the left column of Table G.1 below, list each potential source of runoff Pollutants on your site (from those that you checked in the Pollutant Sources/Source PR-2022-001434 (GP, RZ, DR, VC-S) Exhibit 10 - Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration and Appendices - 20 -
Control Checklist). In the middle column, list the corresponding permanent, Structural Source Control BMPs (from Columns 2 and 3 of the Pollutant Sources/Source Control Checklist) used to prevent Pollutants from entering runoff. Add additional narrative in this column that explains any special features, materials or methods of construction that will be used to implement these permanent, Structural Source Control BMPs.
4. Identify Operational Source Control BMPs: To complete your table, refer once again to the Pollutant Sources/Source Control Checklist. List in the right column of your table the Operational BMPs that should be implemented as long as the anticipated activities continue at the site. Copermittee stormwater ordinances require that applicable Source Control BMPs be implemented; the same BMPs may also be required as a condition of a use permit or other revocable Discretionary Approval for use of the site.

Section I: Operation, Maintenance and Funding
T
he Copermittee will periodically verify that Stormwater BMPs on your site are maintained and continue to
operate as designed. To make this possible, your Copermittee will require that you include in Appendix 9 of this Project-Specific WQMP:
1. A means to finance and implement facility maintenance in perpetuity, including replacement cost.
2. Acceptance of responsibility for maintenance from the time the BMPs are constructed until responsibility for operation and maintenance is legally transferred. A warranty covering a period following construction may also be required.
3. An outline of general maintenance requirements for the Stormwater BMPs you have selected.
4. Figures delineating and designating pervious and impervious areas, location, and type of Stormwater BMP, and tables of pervious and impervious areas served by each facility. Geo- locating the BMPs using a coordinate system of latitude and longitude is recommended to help facilitate a future statewide database system.
5. A separate list and location of self-retaining areas or areas addressed by LID Principles that do not require specialized O&M or inspections but will require typical landscape maintenance as noted in Chapter 5, pages 85-86, in the WQMP Guidance. Include a brief description of typical landscape maintenance for these areas.
Your local Co-Permittee will also require that you prepare and submit a detailed Stormwater BMP Operation and Maintenance Plan that sets forth a maintenance schedule for each of the Stormwater BMPs built on your site. An agreement assigning responsibility for maintenance and providing for inspections and certification may also be required.
Details of these requirements and instructions for preparing a Stormwater BMP Operation and Maintenance Plan are in Chapter 5 of the WQMP Guidance Document.
Maintenance Mechanism: WQMP Covenant & Agreement
Will the proposed BMPs be maintained by a Home Owners’ Association (HOA) or Property Owners Association (POA)?
Y N
In
clude your Operation and Maintenance Plan and Maintenance Mechanism in Appendix 9.
Additionally, include all pertinent forms of educational materials for those personnel that will be maintaining the proposed BMPs within this Project-Specific WQMP in Appendix 10.

PR-2022-001434 (GP, RZ, DR, VC-S) Exhibit 10 - Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration and Appendices What is stormwater runoff?
Why is stormwater runoff
a problem?
The effects of pollution
Stormwater runoff occurs when precipitation
from rain or snowmelt flows over the ground.
Impervious surfaces like driveways, sidewalks,
and streets prevent stormwater from
naturally soaking into the ground.
Stormwater can pick up debris, chemicals, dirt, and other pollutants and flow into a storm sewer system or directly to a lake, stream, river, wetland, or coastal water. Anything that enters a storm sewer system is discharged untreated into the waterbodies we use for swimming, fishing, and providing drinking water.
Polluted stormwater runoff can have
many adverse effects on plants, fish,
animals, and people.
Sediment can cloud the water
and make it difficult or
impossible for aquatic plants to
grow . Sediment also can
.
/c183
destroy aquatic habitats
Excess nutrients can cause
algae blooms. When algae die,
they sink to the bottom and decompose
in a process that removes oxygen from
the water. Fish and other aquatic
organisms can’t exist in water with low
dissolved oxygen levels.
Bacteria and other pathogens can wash
into swimming areas and create health
hazards, often making beach closures
necessary .
Debris—plastic bags, six-pack rings, bottles, and
cigarette butts—washed into waterbodies can choke, suffocate, or disable aquatic life like ducks, fish, turtles, and birds.
Household hazardous wastes like insecticides, pesticides, paint, solvents, used motor oil, and other auto fluids can poison aquatic life.
Land animals and people can become sick or die from eating diseased fish and shellfish or ingesting polluted water.
Polluted stormwater often
affects drinking water
sources. This, in turn, can
affect human health and
increase drinking water
treatment costs.

/c183
PR-2022-001434 (GP, RZ, DR, VC-S) Exhibit 10 - Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration and Appendices Auto care
Washing your car and
degreasing auto parts at home
can send detergents and other
contaminants through the
storm sewer system. Dumping
automotive fluids into storm
drains has the same result as
dumping the materials directly
into a waterbody .
Pet waste
Pet waste can be
a major source of
bacteria and
excess nutrients
in local waters.
/c183
When walking
your pet,
remember to pick up the
waste and dispose of it
properly . Flushing pet
waste is the best disposal
method. Leaving pet waste
on the ground increases
public health risks by
allowing harmful bacteria
and nutrients to wash into
the storm drain and
eventually into local
waterbodies.
Septic
systems
Leaking and
poorly
maintained
septic
systems release nutrients and
pathogens (bacteria and
viruses) that can be picked up
by stormwater and discharged
into nearby waterbodies.
Pathogens can cause public
health problems and
environmental concerns.
Lawn care
Excess fertilizers
and pesticides
applied to lawns
and gardens wash
off and pollute
streams. In
addition, yard
clippings and
leaves can wash
into storm drains and contribute
nutrients and organic matter to streams.
Education is essential to changing people's behavior.
Signs and markers near storm drains warn residents
that pollutants entering the drains will be carried
untreated into a local waterbody.
Recycle or properly dispose of household products that
contain chemicals, such as insecticides, pesticides, paint, solvents, and used motor oil and other auto fluids.
Don’t pour them onto the ground or into storm drains.
/c183
/c183
Use a commercial car wash that treats or
recycles its wastewater, or wash your car on
your yard so the water infiltrates into the
ground.
Repair leaks and dispose of used auto fluids
and batteries at designated drop-off or
recycling locations.
/c183
/c183
/c183
/c183
Don’t overwater your lawn. Consider
using a soaker hose instead of a
sprinkler.
Use pesticides and fertilizers
sparingly . When use is necessary , use
these chemicals in the recommended
amounts. Use organic mulch or safer
pest control methods whenever
possible.
Compost or mulch yard waste. Don’t
leave it in the street or sweep it into
storm drains or streams.
Cover piles of dirt or mulch being
used in landscaping projects.
/c183
/c183
Inspect your system every
3 years and pump your
tank as necessary (every 3
to 5 years).
Don't dispose of
household hazardous
waste in sinks or toilets.
Permeable Pavement
Rain Barrels
Rain Gardens and
Grassy Swales
Vegetated Filter Strips
—Traditional concrete and
asphalt don’t allow water to soak into the ground.
Instead these surfaces rely on storm drains to
divert unwanted water. Permeable pavement
systems allow rain and snowmelt to soak through,
decreasing stormwater runoff.
—You can
collect rainwater from
rooftops in mosquito-
proof containers. The
water can be used later on
lawn or garden areas.
—Specially
designed areas planted
with native plants can provide natural places for
rainwater to collect
and soak into the
ground. Rain from
rooftop areas or paved
areas can be diverted
into these areas rather
than into storm drains.
—Filter strips are areas of
native grass or plants created along roadways or
streams. They trap the pollutants stormwater
picks up as it flows across driveways and streets.

PR-2022-001434 (GP, RZ, DR, VC-S) Exhibit 10 - Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration and Appendices Dirt, oil, and debris that collect in
parking lots and paved areas can be
washed into the storm sewer system
and eventually enter local
waterbodies.
/c183
/c183
/c183
Sweep up litter and debris from
sidewalks, driveways and parking lots,
especially around storm drains.
Cover grease storage and dumpsters
and keep them clean to avoid leaks.
Report any chemical spill to the local
hazardous waste cleanup team.
They’ll know the best way to keep
spills from harming the environment.
Erosion controls that aren’t maintained can cause
excessive amounts of sediment and debris to be
carried into the stormwater system. Construction
vehicles can leak fuel, oil, and other harmful fluids
that can be picked up by stormwater and
deposited into local waterbodies.
/c183
/c183
/c183
Divert stormwater away from disturbed or
exposed areas of the construction site.
Install silt fences, vehicle mud removal areas,
vegetative cover, and other sediment and
erosion controls and properly maintain them,
especially after rainstorms.
Prevent soil erosion by minimizing disturbed
areas during construction projects, and seed
and mulch bare areas as soon as possible.
Uncovered fueling stations allow spills to be
washed into storm drains. Cars waiting to be
repaired can leak fuel, oil, and other harmful
fluids that can be picked up by stormwater.
/c183
/c183
/c183
/c183
Clean up spills immediately and properly
dispose of cleanup materials.
Provide cover over fueling stations and
design or retrofit facilities for spill
containment.
Properly maintain fleet vehicles to prevent
oil, gas, and other discharges from being
washed into local waterbodies.
Install and maintain oil/water separators.
Lack of vegetation on streambanks can lead to erosion. Overgrazed pastures can also contribute excessive amounts of sediment to local waterbodies. Excess fertilizers and pesticides can poison aquatic animals and lead to destructive algae blooms. Livestock in streams can contaminate waterways with bacteria, making them unsafe for human contact. /c183
/c183
/c183
/c183
/c183
Keep livestock away from streambanks and provide
them a water source away from waterbodies.
Store and apply manure away from waterbodies and in
accordance with a nutrient management plan.
Vegetate riparian areas along waterways.
Rotate animal grazing to prevent soil erosion in fields.
Apply fertilizers and pesticides according to label
instructions to save money and minimize pollution.
Improperly managed logging operations can result in erosion and sedimentation.
/c183
/c183
/c183

Best Practices
We our Watershed!
A clean and healthy watershed is
important to all of us.
Trash, debris, chemicals and other
contaminants from business activities
often make their way into the Riverside
County storm drain system. This pollutes
our drinking water and contaminates
waterways, making them unsafe for
people and wildlife.
Did you know?
There is a difference between storm
drains
and sewers.
Storm drains capture rainwater and flow
directly to our rivers, lakes and streams –
untreated.
Sewers capture and collect water from
sinks, toilets and floor drains, and thenit
is processed and treated before it is
released into the environment.

Dumpster Areas
Keep dumpster lids closed and the areas
around them clean.
Do not fill with liquid waste or hose them
out.
Call your trash hauler to replace any
dumpsters that are damaged or leaking.
Mobile Food Trucks
The potential for generating
stormwater pollution as part of a
mobile food business requires
special attention. Cleaning activities
are required to be conducted at an
approved fixed location with a
connection to a sanitary sewer. For
more information contact Riverside
County Environmental Health at
(888) 722-4234.
Do not discharge wash water into
storm drains.
Clean on a properly equipped wash
pad and drain wastewater to a
sanitary sewer system.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Clean equipment, floor mats, filters and
garbage cans in a mop sink, wash rack or
floor drain connected to a sanitary sewer.
Sweep outside areas and put the debris in
trash containers DO NOT hose down or
sweep into the parking lot or street.
Outside eating areas and sidewalks may
not be hosed down or pressure washed
UNLESS
the following standards are met:
9 Use dry cleanup methods prior to any
pressure washing – absorbing with
kitty litter, sweeping, vacuuming,
scraping off dried debris.
9 Wash waters must be captured for
proper disposal: collected waters
should be discharged to a sanitary
drain.
9 DO NOT use any chemicals or
detergents.
9 DO NOT wash or pour water in a
parking lot, alley, sidewalk or street.
Food Waste Disposal
Scrape food waste off of plates,
pots and food prep areas and
dispose of in the trash.
Food scraps often contain grease,
which can clog sewer pipes and
result in costly sewer backups and
overflows.
Never put food waste down the
drain.
Recycle Oil & Grease
Never put oil or grease down the drain.
Contain grease and oil by using covered
grease storage containers or installing a
grease interceptor.
Never overfill your grease storage
container or transport it without a cover.
Grease control devices must be emptied
and cleaned by permitted companies and
according to manufacturer’sspecifications.
Keep maintenance records on site.
For a list of oil/grease recycling
companies, contact CalRecycle
www.calrecycle.ca.gov
or contact your
local sanitation district.
Managing Spills
Clean food spills in loading and trash
areas by using absorbent materials and
sweeping then mopping.
Discharge mop water into the sewer
through a grease interceptor.
Have spill containment and cleanup kits
available.
To report serious toxic spills, call 911.
Handling Toxic Chemicals
Dispose of all unwanted toxics materials
like cleaners, solvents and detergents
through a hazardous waste hauler. These
items are not trash!

NOISE AND VIBRATION IMPACT ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION
This noise and vibration impact analysis has been prepared to evaluate the potential noise and vibration impacts and reduction measures associated with the Madison Flats Project (project) in Riverside, Riverside County, California. This report is intended to satisfy City of Riverside (City) requirements for a project-specific noise and vibration impact analysis by examining the short-term and long-term noise and vibration impacts on sensitive uses adjacent to the project site and evaluating reduction measures required by the proposed project.
PROJECT LOCATION
The project area consists of Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 230-253-010, 230-245-013, 230-233- 013, and 230-245-015 and is located at the southwest corner of Madison Street and Railroad Avenue in Riverside, California. The project area is approximately 3.94 acres. The project site has the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF)/Inland Empire-Orange County Railroad Line along the southeastern boundary. The project proposes to develop the entire area of the parcels. Figure 1 shows the project location and vicinity.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project would develop a residential complex of three buildings comprising 76 senior residences and 45 family residences, 63 parking spaces, and 43,600 square feet (sf) of open space on an existing vacant site. The site is currently zoned as R-1-7000, Single Family Residential Zone, and is proposed to change to R-3-1500, Multifamily Residential Zone. Construction of the proposed project would start in mid-January 2024 and would be complete in 2025. During construction, approximately 20 cubic yards (cy) of soil would be cut and 12,700 cy would be filled, for a net 12,680 cy of soil to be imported. Figure 2 shows the site plan.
CHARACTERISTICS OF SOUND
Sound is increasing in the environment and can affect quality of life. Noise is usually defined as unwanted sound. Noise consists of any sound that may produce physiological or psychological damage and/or interfere with communication, work, rest, recreation, and sleep.
To the human ear, sound has two significant characteristics: pitch and loudness. Pitch is generally an annoyance, while loudness can affect the ability to hear. Pitch is the number of complete vibrations (or cycles per second) of a wave, resulting in the tone’s range from high to low. Loudness is the strength of a sound and describes a noisy or quiet environment; it is measured by the amplitude of the sound wave. Loudness is determined by the intensity of the sound waves combined with the reception characteristics of the human ear. Sound intensity is the average rate of sound energy transmitted through a unit area perpendicular to the direction in which the sound waves are traveling. This characteristic of sound can be precisely measured with instruments. The analysis of a project defines the noise environment of the project area in terms of sound intensity and its effect on adjacent sensitive land uses.

P:\GBC2201 Madison Flats\Technical Studies\Noise\Report\Noise_20230519_CLEAN.docx «05/19/23» 4 Measurement of Sound
Sound intensity is measured through the A-weighted scale to correct for the relative frequency response of the human ear. That is, an A-weighted noise level de-emphasizes low and very high frequencies of sound similar to the human ear’s de-emphasis of these frequencies. Decibels (dB), unlike the linear scale (e.g., inches or pounds), is a scale based on powers of 10.
For example, 10 dB is 10 times more intense than 0 dB, 20 dB is 100 times more intense than 0 dB, and 30 dB is 1,000 times more intense than 0 dB. Thirty decibels (30 dB) represent 1,000 times as much acoustic energy as 0 dB. The decibel scale increases as the square of the change, representing the sound pressure energy. A sound as soft as human breathing is about 10 times greater than 0 dB.
The decibel system of measuring sound gives a rough connection between the physical intensity of sound and its perceived loudness to the human ear. A 10 dB increase in sound level is perceived by the human ear as only a doubling of the loudness of the sound. Ambient sounds generally range from 30 A-weighted decibels (dBA) (very quiet) to 100 dBA (very loud).
Sound levels are generated from a source, and their decibel level decreases as the distance from that source increases. Sound dissipates exponentially with distance from the noise source. For a single point source, sound levels decrease approximately 6 dB for each doubling of distance from the source. This drop-off rate is appropriate for noise generated by stationary equipment. If noise is produced by a line source, such as highway traffic or railroad operations, the sound decreases 3 dB for each doubling of distance in a hard site environment. Line source noise in a relatively flat environment with absorptive vegetation decreases 4.5 dB for each doubling of distance.
There are many ways to rate noise for various time periods, but an appropriate rating of ambient noise affecting humans also accounts for the annoying effects of sound. The equivalent continuous sound level (L
eq) is the total sound energy of time-weighted average noise over a sample period.
However, the predominant rating scales for human communities in California are Leq and the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) or the day-night average noise level (Ldn) based on dBA.
CNEL is the time-varying noise over a 24-hour period, with a 5 dBA weighting factor applied to the hourly Leq for noises occurring from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (defined as relaxation hours) and a 10 dBA weighting factor applied to noise occurring from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. (defined as sleeping hours). Ldn is similar to the CNEL scale but without the adjustment for events occurring during the relaxation hours. CNEL and Ldn are within 1 dBA of each other and are normally interchangeable. The noise adjustments are added to the noise events occurring during the more sensitive hours.
Other noise rating scales of importance, when assessing the annoyance factor, include the maximum instantaneous noise level (L
max), which is the highest exponential time-averaged sound level that occurs during a stated time period. The noise environments discussed in this analysis are specified in terms of Lmax for short-term noise impacts. Lmax reflects peak operating conditions and addresses the annoying aspects of intermittent noise. Another noise scale often used together with Lmax in noise ordinances for enforcement purposes is noise standards in terms of percentile noise levels. For example, the L10 noise level represents the noise level exceeded 10 percent of the time during a stated period. The L50 noise level represents the median noise level. Half of the time the noise level exceeds this level, and half of the time it is less than this level. The L90 noise level represents the noise level exceeded 90 percent of the time and is considered the background noise PR-2022-001434 (GP, RZ, DR, VC-S) Exhibit 10 - Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration and Appendices

Noise impacts can be described in three categories. The first is audible impacts, which refer to increases in noise levels noticeable to humans. Audible increases in noise levels generally refer to a change of 3 dB or greater since this level has been found to be barely perceptible in exterior environments. The second category, potentially audible, refers to a change in the noise level between 1 and 3 dB. This range of noise levels has been found to be noticeable only in laboratory environments. The last category is changes in noise level of less than 1 dB, which are inaudible to the human ear. Only audible changes in existing ambient or background noise levels are considered potentially significant.
Physiological Effects of Noise
Physical damage to human hearing begins at prolonged exposure to noise levels higher than 85 dBA.
Exposure to high noise levels affects the entire system, with prolonged noise exposure in excess of 75 dBA increasing body tensions and thereby affecting blood pressure and functions of the heart and the nervous system. In comparison, extended periods of noise exposure above 90 dBA would result in permanent cell damage. When the noise level reaches 120 dBA, a tickling sensation occurs in the human ear, even with short-term exposure. This level of noise is called the threshold of feeling. As the sound reaches 140 dBA, the tickling sensation is replaced by the feeling of pain in the ear. This is called the threshold of pain. A sound level of 160 to 165 dBA will potentially result in dizziness or loss of equilibrium. The ambient or background noise problem is widespread and generally more concentrated in urban areas than in outlying, less-developed areas.
Table A lists definitions of acoustical terms, and Table B shows common sound levels and their noise sources.
FUNDAMENTALS OF VIBRATION
Vibration refers to ground-borne noise and perceptible motion. Ground-borne vibration is almost exclusively a concern inside buildings and is rarely perceived as a problem outdoors, where the motion may be discernible, but without the effects associated with the shaking of a building there is less adverse reaction. Vibration energy propagates from a source through intervening soil and rock layers to the foundations of nearby buildings. The vibration then propagates from the foundation throughout the remainder of the structure. Building vibration may be perceived by occupants as the motion of building surfaces, the rattling of items sitting on shelves or hanging on walls, or a low- frequency rumbling noise. The rumbling noise is caused by the vibration of walls, floors, and ceilings that radiate sound waves. Although the perceptibility threshold is approximately 65 vibration velocity decibels (VdB), human response to vibration is not usually substantial unless the vibration exceeds 70 VdB. A vibration level that causes annoyance is well below the damage risk threshold for typical buildings.

Term Definition
Decibel, dB A unit of noise level that denotes the ratio between two quantities that are proportional to power; the number of decibels is 10 times the logarithm (to the base 10) of this ratio.
Frequency, Hz Of a function periodic in time, the number of times that the quantity repeats itself in 1 second (i.e., number of cycles per second).
A-Weighted Sound
Level, dBA
The sound level obtained by use of A-weighting. The A-weighting filter de-emphasizes the very-low- frequency and very-high-frequency components of the sound in a manner similar to the frequency response of the human ear and correlates well with subjective reactions to noise. (All sound levels in this report are A-weighted unless reported otherwise.)
L2, L8, L50, L90 The fast A-weighted noise levels that are equaled or exceeded by a fluctuating sound level 2 percent, 8 percent, 50 percent, and 90 percent of a stated time period.
Equivalent Continuous
Sound Level, Leq
The level of a steady sound that, in a stated time period and at a stated location, has the same A-weighted sound energy as the time-varying sound.
Community Noise
Equivalent Level, CNEL
The 24-hour A-weighted average sound level from midnight to midnight, obtained after the addition of 5 dB to sound levels occurring in the evening from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and after the addition of 10 dB to sound levels occurring in the night between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.
Day/Night Average
Noise Level, Ldn
The 24-hour A-weighted average sound level from midnight to midnight, obtained after the addition of 10 dB to sound levels occurring in the night between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.
Lmax, Lmin The maximum and minimum A-weighted sound levels measured on a sound level meter during a designated time interval using fast time averaging.
Ambient Noise Level The all-encompassing noise associated with a given environment at a specified time; usually a composite of sound from many sources from many directions, near and far; no particular sound is dominant.
Intrusive The noise that intrudes over and above the existing ambient noise at a given location. The relative intrusiveness of a sound depends on its amplitude, duration, frequency, time of occurrence, and tonal or informational content, as well as the prevailing ambient noise level.

P:\GBC2201 Madison Flats\Technical Studies\Noise\Report\Noise_20230519_CLEAN.docx «05/19/23» 7 Typical sources of ground-borne vibration are construction activities (e.g., blasting, pile driving, and operating heavy-duty earthmoving equipment), steel-wheeled trains, and occasional traffic on rough roads. Problems with both ground-borne vibration and noise from these sources are usually localized to areas within approximately 100 feet (ft) from the vibration source, although there are examples of ground-borne vibration causing interference out to distances greater than 200 ft (Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual [FTA 2018]). When roadways are smooth, vibration from traffic, even heavy trucks, is rarely perceptible. It is assumed for most projects that the roadway surface will be smooth enough that ground-borne vibration from street traffic will not exceed the impact criteria; however, both construction of the project and freight train operations could result in ground-borne vibration that may be perceptible and annoying.
Ground-borne noise is not likely to be a problem because noise arriving via the normal airborne path will usually be greater than ground-borne noise. Ground-borne vibration has the potential to disturb people and damage buildings. Although it is very rare for train-induced ground-borne vibration to cause even cosmetic building damage, it is not uncommon for construction processes (e.g., blasting and pile driving) to cause vibration of sufficient amplitudes to damage nearby buildings (FTA 2018).
Ground-borne vibration is usually measured in terms of vibration velocity, either the root-mean- square (RMS) velocity or peak particle velocity (PPV). The RMS velocity is best for characterizing human response to building vibration, and PPV is used to characterize potential for damage. Decibel notation acts to compress the range of numbers required to describe vibration. The vibration velocity level in decibels is defined as the following:
L
v = 20 log10 [V/Vref]
where Lv is the vibration velocity in decibels (VdB), V is the RMS velocity amplitude, and Vref is the reference velocity amplitude, or 1 x 10-6 inches/second (in/sec) used in the United States.

Title 24
The State’s Noise Insulation Standards (California Building Code [CBC]/California Code of Regulations [CCR] Title 24, Part 2) establishes standards for interior noise attributable to outside noise sources and requires the preparation of acoustical studies wherever a residential building is proposed within the 60 dBA CNEL noise contour created by a freeway, expressway, parkway, major street, thoroughfare, rail line, rail transit line, or industrial noise source. The acoustical study must show that the building has been designed to limit the intrusion of exterior noise such that interior noise levels do not exceed 45 dBA CNEL.

As shown in this table, a noise level of up to 65 dBA CNEL is the upper limit of what is considered a “normally acceptable” noise environment, and noise levels between 65 and 75 dBA CNEL are considered a “conditionally acceptable” noise environment for infill single-family residential uses. New development should generally be discouraged within the “unacceptable” category. However, if new development does proceed, a detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirements must be made, and the necessary noise insulation features must be included in the design.

The BNSF/Inland Empire-Orange County Railroad Line, which also carries Amtrak trains, is immediately south of the project. Both freight and passenger train operations contribute to the existing noise environment. Other sources of noise in the project area include commercial and industrial activity.
Land Uses in the Project Vicinity
Land uses in the vicinity of the project area include single-family residences, commercial, and industrial uses. Single-family residences and a neighborhood services non-profit organization are located north of the project site. Single-family residences and industrial uses are located to the south of the project site across the existing rail line (BNSF/Inland Empire-Orange County Railroad Line). Commercial uses are located to the east of the project site across Madison Street. Single- family residences are located to the west of the project site.
Ambient Noise Measurements
Six long-term (24-hour) noise level measurements were conducted from December 20 to December 21, 2022, using six Larson Davis Spark 703+, 705+ and 706RC dosimeters. Table G summarizes the results of the long-term noise level measurements along with a description of the measurement locations and noise sources that occurred during the measurements. As shown in Table G, the daytime noise levels ranged from 50.7 to 74.9 dBA Leq, and the nighttime noise levels ranged from 57.8 to 72.9 dBA Leq. The daytime maximum instantaneous noise levels ranged from
63.2 to 95.5 dBA and the nighttime instantaneous noise level ranged from 65.5 to 89.8 dBA. Also, the calculated CNEL levels from the long-term noise level measurements at monitors LT-1 through LT-6 range from 69.4 to 75.7 dBA. The long-term noise level measurement survey sheets are provided in Appendix A. Figure 3 shows the long-term noise monitoring locations.
Existing Train Noise
The BNSF/Inland Empire-Orange County Railroad Line is immediately south of the project site. The train crossing data from the Federal Railroad Administration Office of Safety Analysis show there are approximately 60 freight and passenger trains per day. Based on a review of the noise monitoring gathered, noise generated from train operations was captured during the long-term noise level measurements.
Existing Train Vibration Measurements
To assess the vibration levels generated by train pass-bys, vibration measurements were gathered on March 31, 2023 at the location of the closest proposed building façade to the existing train tracks. A measurement of a freight train pass-by lasting approximately 2 minutes and a measurement of a passenger train pass-by lasting approximately 15 seconds were gathered consistent with the methodologies presented in the FTA Manual. The 1/3 octave band data of each pass-by is presented in Appendix A. Figure 3 shows the location of the vibration measurements.

Existing Aircraft Noise
The closest airports to the project site are the Riverside Municipal Airport (RAL) and Flabob Airport, which are respectively located 2.1 miles northwest and 3.8 miles north of the project site. Based on the Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (Riverside County ALUC 2004), the project site is outside the 55 dBA CNEL noise contours of Riverside Municipal Airport and Flabob Airport.
There are no private airstrips located within the vicinity of the project site. Therefore, the proposed project would not expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels, and this topic is not discussed further.
Existing Traffic Noise
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model (FHWA RD-77- 108) was used to evaluate traffic-related noise conditions along roadway segments in the project vicinity. This model requires various parameters (including traffic volumes, vehicle mix, vehicle speed, and roadway geometry) to compute typical equivalent noise levels during daytime, evening, PR-2022-001434 (GP, RZ, DR, VC-S) Exhibit 10 - Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration and Appendices

The resulting noise levels are weighted and summed over 24-hour periods to determine the CNEL values. The existing average daily traffic (ADT) volumes were obtained from the Traffic Operations Analysis for the Madison Flats Project (LSA 2023b). The standard vehicle mix for Southern California roadways was used for roadways in the project vicinity. Table H lists the existing traffic noise levels on roadways in the project vicinity. These noise levels represent the worst-case scenario, which assumes that no shielding is provided between traffic and the location where the noise contours are drawn.

IMPACTS
Short-Term Construction Noise Impacts
Two types of short-term noise impacts could occur during construction on the project site. The first type would be from construction crew commutes and the transport of construction equipment and materials to the project site and would incrementally raise noise levels on roadways leading to the site. The pieces of construction equipment for construction activities would move on site, would remain for the duration of each construction phase, and would not add to the daily traffic volume in the project vicinity. Although there would be a relatively high single-event noise exposure potential causing intermittent noise nuisance (passing trucks at 50 ft would generate up to a maximum of 84 dBA), the effect on longer-term ambient noise levels would be small because the number of daily construction-related vehicle trips is small compared to existing daily traffic volume on Madison Street and Railroad Avenue. Project construction would generate a maximum of 240 trips per day based on the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) (Version 2020.4.0) results contained in Attachment B of the Madison Flats Project Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Energy Impact Analysis Memorandum (LSA 2023a). Roadways that would be used to access the project site are Madison Street and Railroad Avenue. Based on Table H, Railroad Avenue and Madison Street have estimated existing daily traffic volumes of 12,186 and 385, respectively, near the project site.
Based on the information above, construction
-rel
ated traffic would increase noise by up to 2.1 dBA.
A noise level increase of less than 3 dBA would not be perceptible to the human ear in an outdoor environment. Therefore, no short-term, construction-related impacts associated with worker PR-2022-001434 (GP, RZ, DR, VC-S) Exhibit 10 - Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration and Appendices

The second type of short-term noise impact is related to noise generated from construction activities. Construction is performed in discrete steps, each of which has its own mix of equipment and, consequently, its own noise characteristics. The proposed project anticipates site preparation, grading, building construction, paving, and architectural coating phases of construction. These various sequential phases change the character of the noise generated on a project site. Therefore, the noise levels vary as construction progresses. Despite the variety in the type and size of construction equipment, similarities in the dominant noise sources and patterns of operation allow construction-related noise ranges to be categorized by work phase. Table I lists the L max
recommended for noise impact assessments for typical construction equipment included in the FHWA Highway Construction Noise Handbook (2006), based on a distance of 50 ft between the equipment and a noise receptor.

The closest residential property line is located approximately 85 ft from the center of the project site and may be subject to short-term construction noise reaching 88.1 dBA Lmax (82.7 dBA Leq) generated by construction activities in the project area. Construction noise is temporary and would stop once project construction is completed. Compliance with the City’s permitted hours of construction pursuant to Section 7.35.010 of the City’s Municipal Code would minimize construction-related noise and ensure construction noise would not be generated during the more sensitive nighttime hours. Therefore, no construction noise impacts would occur, and no noise reduction measures are required.
Short-Term Construction Vibration Impacts
This construction vibration impact analysis discusses the level of human annoyance using vibration levels in VdB and assesses the potential for building damage using vibration levels in PPV (in/sec).
Vibration levels calculated in RMS velocity are best for characterizing human response to building vibration, whereas vibration levels in PPV are best for characterizing damage potential.

The greatest vibration levels are anticipated to occur during the site preparation and grading phase.
All other phases are expected to result in lower vibration levels. The distance to the nearest buildings for vibration impact analysis is measured between the nearest off-site buildings and the project boundary (assuming the construction equipment would be used at or near the project boundary) because vibration impacts normally occur within the buildings.

As shown in Table L, the closest residential, commercial, and industrial buildings are approximately 85 ft, 195 ft, and 115 ft, respectively, from the active project construction area near the center of the project site would experience vibration levels of up to 71 VdB, 60 VdB, and 67 VdB, respectively.
These vibration levels would not result in community annoyance because they would not exceed the FTA community annoyance threshold of 84 VdB for commercial and industrial uses because they are not as sensitive to vibration and 78 VdB for daytime residences. Other building structures that surround the project site would experience lower vibration levels because they are farther away.

Long-Term Traffic Noise Impacts
The FHWA Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model (FHWA RD-77-108) was used to evaluate traffic- related noise conditions along street segments in the project vicinity. This model requires various parameters, including traffic volumes, vehicle mix, vehicle speed, and roadway geometry, to compute typical equivalent noise levels during daytime, evening, and nighttime hours. The resulting noise levels are weighted and summed over 24-hour periods to determine the CNEL values. The Existing (2022), Opening Year (2025), and Cumulative (2045) ADT volumes were obtained from the Traffic Operations Analysis for the Madison Flats Project (LSA 2023b). The standard vehicle mix for Southern California roadways was used for roadways in the project vicinity. Tables N, O, and P list the traffic noise levels for the Existing (2022), Opening Year (2025), and Cumulative (2045) Without and With Project scenarios, respectively. These noise levels represent the worst-case scenario, which assumes that no shielding is provided between the traffic and the location where the noise contours are drawn. The specific assumptions used in developing these noise levels and the model printouts are provided in Appendix B.
Tables N, O, and P show that the proposed project would result in a project-related traffic noise increase of up to 1.4 dBA, except for Railroad Avenue between Winstrom Street and Madison Street, which would result in a project-related traffic noise increase of up to 3.4 dBA. Residences along Railroad Avenue between Winstrom Street and Madison Street are approximately 25 ft from the Railroad Avenue centerline and would be exposed to traffic noise levels up to 58.1 dBA CNEL.
The overall project-related traffic noise increase would be 0.2 dBA when factoring the ambient noise level of 72 dBA CNEL at LT-6 because rail noise from the BNSF/Inland Empire-Orange County Railroad Line and traffic noise on Madison Street and other roadways dominate the existing noise environment in this area. This noise level increase is below 3 dBA and would not be perceptible to the human ear in an outdoor environment. Therefore, no off-site traffic noise impacts would occur, and no noise reduction measures are required.

P:\GBC2201 Madison Flats\Technical Studies\Noise\Report\Noise_20230519_CLEAN.docx «05/19/23» 23 Long-Term Stationary Source Noise Impacts
HVAC Equipment
The proposed project includes on-site rooftop heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units for the 121 residential units and amenity buildings. It is estimated that the proposed project would have a total of 129 HVAC units on site and could potentially operate 24 hours per day. The HVAC equipment would generate a sound power level (SPL) of 76 dBA, which would be equivalent to
44.4 dBA Leq at 50 ft. The specifications of typical HVAC equipment are provided in Appendix C. The parapet and roofline would provide a minimum noise reduction of 5 dBA.
Table Q shows the noise levels generated by HVAC equipment at the property line of the closest off- site land use along with the total number of HVAC units, range of distances from the equipment to the property line, range of distance attenuation, and shielding from the roofline and parapet. As shown in Table Q, noise levels generated from on-site HVAC units would not exceed the City’s exterior daytime (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) and nighttime (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) 30-minute (L50) noise standards of 60 dBA and 50 dBA, respectively, for residential uses. Also, noise levels generated from on-site HVAC units would not exceed the City’s exterior 30-minute (L50) noise standards of 70 dBA and 75 dBA for commercial and industrial uses, respectively. The detailed HVAC noise analysis is provided in Appendix D. Therefore, no off-site noise impacts from on-site HVAC equipment would occur. No noise reduction measures are required.

Long-Term Ground-Borne Noise and Vibration from Vehicular Traffic Once operational, the proposed project would not generate vibration. In addition, vibration levels generated from project-related traffic on the adjacent roadways (i.e., Madison Street and Railroad Avenue) would be unusual for on-road vehicles because the rubber tires and suspension systems of on-road vehicles provide vibration isolation. Therefore, no vibration impacts from project-related traffic on the adjacent roadways would occur, and no vibration reduction measures are required.

Exterior Vibration Assessment
As presented above, reference vibration measurements of train pass-bys were gathered on the project site. The distance of the vibration measurements from the train tracks is consistent with the distance of the nearest building façade to the tracks. The vibration data, presented in Appendix A, shows that vibration levels between 8 and 80 Hz range from 50.6 to 67.0 VdB during a freight train pass-by are less than the maximum Lv level of 72 VdB which represents the criterion curve for residential uses during nighttime hours. Vibration levels during passenger train pass-bys are lower and would also not exceed the nighttime vibration criterion.
Exterior Noise Assessment
To assess exterior noise levels at the proposed amenity areas and residential uses of the project site, as shown in Table G, long-term noise level measurements were gathered. The daily noise levels, presented in Table G adjusted for distance, show that noise levels at the amenity areas and residences close to the rail line will approach 76 dBA CNEL. Similarly, noise levels at residential units closest to Madison Street would approach 71 dBA CNEL. As presented above in Table E and as identified in the Noise Element of the General Plan (City of Riverside 2007), for exterior areas of in-fill developments, noise levels up to 75 dBA CNEL are considered conditionally acceptable. With the proposed 6 ft high sound barrier along the southern property line adjacent to the outdoor common recreational area and the 5 ft high sound barriers at the 3 rd floor amenity spaces as
identified in Figure 4, the reduction provided in Appendix E (a minimum 5 dBA) would be enough to reduce levels to below 75 dBA CNEL. The barriers should be solid with no gaps or spaces including at the base of barrier on the eastern and southern side. The material of the barriers is flexible as long as they either have a minimum density of 4.0 pounds per square foot (lb/ft2) or be sound rated with test data supporting a reduction of 5 dBA or more. Also, the other proposed walls within the residential development would further reduce exterior noise levels at the residential uses to the extent feasible.
Interior Noise Assessment
As discussed above, consistent with CCR Title 24, Part 2, the City requires an interior noise level standard of 45 dBA CNEL or less for all noise-sensitive rooms within residential uses. Based on the measured exterior noise levels, noise levels at second floor receptors and above would approach 76 dBA CNEL, and noise levels on the eastern side would approach 71 dBA CNEL, requiring reductions of 31 dBA CNEL and 26 dBA CNEL, respectively.
Based on the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Noise Levels (1978), with a combination of exterior walls, doors, and windows, standard construction for Southern California (warm climate) commercial or residential buildings would provide more than 24 dBA in exterior-to-interior noise reduction with windows closed and 12 dBA or more with windows open.
Because the project would include a form of mechanical ventilation, windows and doors could remain closed.

P:\GBC2201 Madison Flats\Technical Studies\Noise\Report\Noise_20230519_CLEAN.docx «05/19/23» 26 Sample interior noise calculations were completed, as presented in Appendix F, that assume standard building construction and upgraded window assemblies. Based on reference information from transmission loss test reports for various Milgard windows (Milgard Windows 2008), the homes along the southern property line would require upgraded windows with sound transmission class (STC) ratings of approximately 35, depending on the wall details at the façades with a view of the rail line to the south. For the homes along the northern, eastern, and western property lines, noise levels would approach 71 dBA CNEL, requiring a reduction of 26 dBA. This can be typically be achieved with standard building construction and upgraded windows with STC ratings of 29, depending on the wall construction details. For all other units, standard building construction along with standard windows, typically in the STC 25-28 range, interior noise levels of 45 dBA CNEL or less would be achieved.
Once final plans are available and a window manufacturer has been chosen, a Final Acoustical Report (FAR) would be required to confirm the reduction capability of the exterior façades and to identify any specific upgrades necessary to achieve an interior noise level of 45 dBA CNEL or below.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE MEASURES
The following regulatory compliance measure would ensure construction noise is limited to the less- sensitive daytime hours:
• The construction contractor shall limit construction activities to between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on weekdays and between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays pursuant to Section 7.35.010 of the City’s Municipal Code. Construction is prohibited outside these hours or at any time on Sundays and federal holidays.
REDUCTION MEASURES
Short-Term Construction Noise Impacts
No noise reduction measures are required.
Short-Term Construction Vibration Impacts
No vibration reduction measures are required.
Long-Term Aircraft Noise Impacts
No noise reduction measures are required.
Long-Term Traffic Noise Impacts

This highly featured and reliable air conditioner is designed for years of reliable, efficient operation when matched with Rheem indoor aluminum evaporator coils and furnaces or air handler units with aluminum evaporators.
Our unique composite base ( ) reduces sound emission, elimi- nates rattles, significantly reduces fasteners, eliminates corro- sion and has integrated brass compressor attachment inserts ( ). Furthermore it has incorporated into the design, water management features, means for hand placement ( ) for unit maneuvering, screw trays ( ) and inserts for lifting off unit pad. ( )
Service Valves ( ) are rigidly mounted in the composite base with 3" between suction and discharge valves, 4" clearance below service valves and a minimum of 5" above the service valves, creating industry leading installation ease. The minimum 27 square-inches around the service valves allows ample room to remove service valve schrader prior to brazing, plenty of clear- ance for easy brazing of the suction and discharge lines to ser- vice valve outlets, easy access and hookup of low loss refriger- ant gauges ( ), and access to the service valve caps for opening. For applications with long-line lengths up to 250 feet total equivalent length, up to 200 feet condenser above evapora- tor, or up to 80 feet evaporator above condenser, the long-line instructions in the installation manual should be followed.
Controls are accessed from the corner of the unit by removing only two fasteners from the control access cover, revealing the industry’s largest 15" wide and 14" tall control area ( ). With all this room in the control area the high voltage electrical whip ( ) can easily be inserted through the right size opening in the bot- tom of the control area. Routing it leads directly to contractor lugs for connection. The low voltage control wires ( ) are easily connected to units low voltage wiring. If contactor or capacitor ( ) needs to be replaced there is more than adequate space to make the repair. Furthermore, if high pressure and low pressure model was not purchased but is desired to be installed in the field, the service window ( ) can be removed by removing two screws, to access the high and low side schrader fittings for easy field installation. The entire corner can be removed providing ultimate access to install the high and low pressure switch. ( ) If in the rare event, greater access is needed to internal compo- nents, such as the compressor, the entire corner of the unit can be removed along with the top cover assembly to have unprece- dented access to interior of the unit ( ). Extra wire length is incorporated into each outdoor fan and compressor so top cover and control panel can be positioned next to the unit. With minimal effort the plug can be removed from the compressor and the outdoor fan wires can be removed from the capacitor to allow even more uncluttered access to the interior of the unit ( ).
Outdoor coil heights range from as short as 22" to 32", aiding access to the compressor. Disassembly to this degree and com- plete reassembly only takes a first time service technician less than 10 minutes. ( )
All units utilize strong formed louver panels which provide indus- try leading coil protection. Louver removal for coil cleaning is accomplished by removing one screw and lifting the panel out of the composite base pan. ( ) All RA14 units utilize single row coils ( ) making cleaning easy and complete, restoring the performance of the air conditioner back to out of the box perfor- mance levels year after year.
The outdoor fan motor has sleeve bearings and is inherently protected. The motor is totally enclosed for maximum protection from weather, dust and corrosion. Access to the outdoor fan is made by removing four fasteners from the fan grille. The outdoor fan can be removed from the fan grille by removing 4 fasteners in the rare case outdoor fan motor fails.
Each cabinet has optimized composite ( ) fan orifice assuring efficient and quiet airflow.

RA14 Series
5 The entire cabinet has powder post paint ( ) achieving 1000 hour salt spray rating, allowing the cabinet to retain its aesthetics throughout its life.
Scroll compressors with standard internal pressure relief and internal thermal overload are used on all capacities assuring longevity of high efficient and quiet operation for the life of the product.
Each unit is shipped with filter drier for field installation and will trap any moisture or dirt that could contaminate the refrigerant system.
All cabinets have industry leading structural strength due to the composite base pan ( ), interlocking corner post ( ), formed curved louver panels ( ) and drawn top cover ( ) making it the most durable cabinet on the market today.
Each RA14 capacity has undergone rigorous psychometric test- ing to assure performance ratings of capacity, SEER and EER per AHRI Standard 210/240 rating conditions. Also
each unit bears the UL mark and each unit is certified
to UL 1995 safety standards.
Each unit has undergone specific strain and modal testing to assure tubing ( ) is outside the units natural frequency and that the suction and discharge lines connected to the compressor withstand any starting, steady state operation or shut down forces imposed by the compressor.
All units have been sound tested in sound chamber to AHRI 270 rating conditions, and A-weighted Sound Power Level tables produced, assuring units have acceptable noise qualities (see page 9). Each unit has been ran in cooling operation at 95°F and 82°F and sound ratings for the RA14 range from as low as 74 dBA to 77 dBA.
All units have been ship tested to assure units meet stringent “over the road” shipping conditions.
As manufactured all units in the RA14 family have cooling capa- bility to 55 °F . Addition of low ambient control will allow the unit to operate down to 0°F . Factory testing is performed on each unit. All component parts meet well defined specification and continually go through receiving inspections. Each component installed on a unit is scanned, assuring correct component uti- lization for a given unit capacity and voltage. All condenser coils are leak tested with pressurization test to 550#’s and once installed and assembled, each units’ complete refrigerant system is helium leak tested. All units are fully charged from the factory for up to 15 feet of piping. All units are factory run tested.
The RA14 has a 10-year conditional compressor and parts war- ranty (registration required).
