Construction equipment operating on diesel fuel shall use particulate filters or low sulfur diesel. • To the extent feasible construction operations shall use electricity from power poles in-lieu of temporary diesel or gasoline-powered generators. 17. Prior to commencement of construction activities, the project developer shall identify to the City a construction relations officer to act as a community liaison concerning on-site activity, including resolution of issues related to dust generation from grading/paving activities. A publicly visible sign shall be posted with the name of construction relations officer and a telephone number. 18. During finish work, the construction contractor shall ensure the minimization of ROG emissions. Building plans for the project shall specify and require the use of pre-coated building materials, use of high pressure-low volume (HPL~ paint applicators with 50 percent efficiency, and use of lower volatility paint not to exceed 100 grams of ROG per liter. 19. During construction and grading activities, the developer's construction contractor shall comply with the measures set forth in the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to ensure that airborne dust is kept to a minimum. 20. Prior to issuance of building permits and to the extent feasible, building plans for the proposed project shall reflect the use of the following measures. • Use low-polluting high energy-efficient appliances • Install solar panels on roofs to supply electricity for heating and cooling • Use double-paned windows to reduce thermal loss • Install automatic lighting on/off controls and energy-efficient lighting • Use light colored roofing materials in new construction to deflect heat away from buildings. 21. During grading operations, special handling of on-site soils shall be required due to the high moisture content of the soils, which is well above optimum moisture conditions. The City of Santa Ana shall monitor the grading contractor to ensure stabilization of the soils during grading prior to placing and compacting fill soils over wet sub-grade soils, as recommended in the geotechnical investigation prepared by Geotechnical Professionals, Inc. 22. Prior to issuance of building permits, the project developer shall ensure that pile foundations are incorporated into the project design to mitigate the potential settlement hazards beneath the proposed buildings.
