Responses to <br />Environmental Checklist <br />For CEQA Compliance <br />- Application of soil stabilizers to inactive construction areas <br />- Quick replacement of ground cover in disturbed areas <br />- Watering of exposed surfaces three times daily <br />- Covering all stock piles with tarp <br />- Sweep streets adjacent to the project site at the end of the day if visible soil <br />material is carried over to adjacent roads <br />- Cover or have water applied to the exposed surface of all trucks hauling dirt, <br />sand, soil, or other loose materials prior to leaving the site to prevent dust from <br />impacting the surrounding areas <br />- Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto paved <br />roads to wash off trucks and any equipment leaving the site each trip <br />MM AQ-2 All clearing and earthwork activities shall cease during period of high winds (winds <br />greater than 25 mph averaged over one hour) or during Stage 1 or Stage 2 smog <br />episodes. <br />MM AQ-3 During grading, the construction disturbance area shall be kept as small as possible. <br />MM AQ-4 Prior to issuance of any grading permit wind barriers shall be installed along the <br />perimeter of the site and/or around areas being graded. <br />MM AQ-5 During construction, operators of any gas or diesel fueled equipment, including vehicles, <br />shall be encouraged to turn off equipment if not in use or left idle for more than five <br />minutes. Equipment engines shall be maintained in good condition and in proper tune <br />according to manufacturer's specifications. <br />MM AQ-6 The Applicant shall require by contract specifications that the architectural coating (paint <br />and primer) products used would have aloes-VOC rating. Contract specifications shall be <br />included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be reviewed by the <br />City prior to issuance of a building permit. <br />Finally, objectionable odors are a localized phenomenon and are generally confined to the vicinity of the <br />emitter of the odor. The proposed project is a church land use and would not generate long-term <br />operational odors. Construction activities do not usually emit offensive odors. Although construction <br />activities occurring in association with the proposed project could generate airborne odors associated with <br />the operation of construction vehicles (i.e., diesel exhaust) and the application of interior and exterior <br />architectural coatings, these emissions would be temporary in nature, would generally be restricted to the <br />immediate vicinity of the construction site and activity, and would not affect a substantial number of <br />people. Compliance with City of Santa Ana required maintenance and waste management practices <br />would reduce the potential for objectionable odors. The operation of the proposed project would be <br />required to comply with SCAQMD Rule 402 with regard to odors. In general, operational activities <br />associated with land uses similar to the proposed project do not ordinarily emit offensive odors and as <br />such, this impact would be considered less than significant. <br />31 A-38 <br />
