IMPACT ON AIR 4UALITY <br />Consideration: Increased air pollution is a concern for projects with transportation components. The various vehicular emissions that are <br />regulated include nitrogen oxides, particulates, non•methane hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. Therefore, <br />potential changes in emissions that could affect these pollutant levels are the primary focus of this,criterion. <br />Definition; Overall percentage increase in nitrogen oxides, Par6culates,.non-methane hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide <br />emissions resulting from collection vehicle hauling acid operation. <br />Reatlways; <br />-Water~nd~seweF <br />3. IMPACT ON THE'LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE <br />Consideration, Within a community, the residents have needs that must be met to maintain a certain minimum standard of living and quality of <br />life, From ah infrastructure standpoint, these needs typically include homes, transportation (streets, roads, sidewalks, and <br />drainage), energy (gas andlor electricity), telecommunications, and water and sewer service, <br />Definition Potential impact upon connector streets and roads from the standpoint of increased collection and transfer, traffic volume and <br />suitability of roadway designs for heavy truck traffic, Electric, water, and sewer service will be assessed with respect to <br />availability, capacity, and impact of transfer station usage on existing systems. <br />Page 2 <br />Very Important 10 <br />Candidate sites will be ranked with respect to potential <br />percentage increase in exhaust emissions (nitrogen o~odes, <br />particulates, non-methane hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, <br />and carbon dioxide emissions) from collection vehicles as <br />computed using the additional haul distance measured from <br />the waste generation centroid to the proposed site. The site <br />with the lowest percentage increase will be ranked highest, <br />Greening Garbage Trucks; New Technolooies for Cleaner <br />Air, 2003, will be used to establish emission rates for the <br />various pollutants, <br />Important 5 <br />Sifes with available electric, water, and sewer service (within <br />1000 feet of the transfer station site) and suitable roadway <br />connector design will be ranked the highest. Exisfing <br />roadway features v~ill be compared to minimum standards <br />for industrial access roads. <br />Attachment 2A <br />BOCC Work Session - 06/16/08 <br />
