The air quality analysis did not indicate any significant air quality impacts for any of the <br /> alternatives, so no air quality mitigation measures are required. Current air quality regulations <br /> will require emission reductions for certain portions of the project, such as the following: <br /> • PSCAA's regulations requiring fugitive dust control at construction sites <br /> • EPA's emission control regulations for on-road diesel haul trucks <br /> • EPA's emission control requirements for non-road construction equipment, locomotives, <br /> harbor craft, and oceangoing marine vessels <br /> B. Greenhouse Gases <br /> Possible measures to reduce GHG for residential, commercial and retail developments may <br /> include: <br /> • Encourage bicycling to work through the installation of non-residential and long-term <br /> residential bicycle parking and the provision of non-residential end-of-trip facilities such <br /> as showers and lockers <br /> • Provide connected bicycle routes within the project area <br /> • Provide bike parking and storage space in new developments <br /> • Improve the pedestrian network and minimize pedestrian barriers in new developments <br /> • Provide a transit pass to employees to discourage vehicle use <br /> • Maximize use of shared parking <br /> • Design parking facilities with pedestrian pathways to facilitate pedestrian passage from <br /> parking facilities to building entrances <br /> • Provide substantial tree cover in parking lots <br /> • Provide electric vehicle charging facilities <br /> • Design buildings to be energy and resource efficient by implementing one or more of the <br /> following measures: <br /> 1) Obtain LEED certification <br /> 2) Landscape with drought-resistant native trees that shelter building <br /> 3) Exceed Building Code requirements <br /> 4) Reduce heating/cooling costs by solar orientation of buildings and overhangs to <br /> shade in the summer but allow winter sun <br /> 5) Surfaces such as parking lots that are shaded, light colored or open-grid pavement <br /> to reduce heat islands <br /> 6) Energy Star Roofing <br /> 7) Install a green [vegetated] roof <br /> 8) Highly reflective and emissive "cool" roofs <br /> 9) Automatic programmable thermostats <br /> 10) Passive heating and cooling systems <br /> 11) Day lighting systems <br /> 12) Shading mechanisms for windows <br /> • Provide energy/ resource efficient appliances and infrastructure by implementing one or <br /> more of the following measures: <br /> 1) Install high-efficiency pumps <br /> 2) Use only natural gas or energy efficient electric stoves <br /> 3) Solar water heaters <br /> 4) Electric outlets on building exteriors <br /> 20 <br />
