Increased air pollution is a concern for projects with transportation components, The various <br />vehicular emissions that are regulated include nitrogen oxides, particulates, non-methane. <br />hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, aril carbon dioxide,`Therefore, potential changes in emissions <br />that could affect these pollutaritievels are the primary focus of this criterion. <br />Definition:. Overall percentage increase in nitrogeq oxides, particulates, non-methane hydrocarbons, carbon <br />monoxide, and carbon dioxide emissions resulting from collection vehicle hauling and operation. <br />Candidate sites will be ranked with respect to <br />potential percentage increase in exhaust <br />emissions (nitrogen oxides, particulates, non- <br />methahe hydrocarbohs, carboy monoxide, and, <br />carbon dioxide emissions) from collection <br />vehicles as computed using the additional haul <br />distance measured from the waste generation <br />cehtroid to the proposed site.

Within a community, the residents have needs that must be met to maintain a certain minimum Sites with available electric, water, and sewer <br />standard of living and quality of life. From an infrastructure standpoint, these needs typically service (within 1000 feet of the transfer station <br />include homes,transportation (streets, roads, sidewalks, and drainage), energy (gas and/or site) and suitable roadway connector design will <br />electricity), telecommunications, and water aril sewer service. be ranked the highest, Existing roadway <br /> features will be compared to minimum <br />Definition, Potential impact upon connector streets and roads from the standpoint of increased collection and standards for industrial access roads, <br />transfer traffic volume and suitability of roadway designs for heavy ruck traffic Electric, water, <br />and sewer service will be assessed with respect to availability, capacity, and impact of transfer <br />station usage on existing systems.. <br />Page 2 <br />Impact on air quality should <br />be considered a very <br />important criteria. <br />Recbmmerid air quality <br />monitoring of the site, <br />Attachment 2B <br />Attachment 26 <br />BOCC Work Session - 06/16108 <br />
