1.0 Introduction
This report presents an assessment of potential air quality impacts associated with the Palomar
Airport Commons Project in the City of Carlsbad. The evaluation addresses the potential for
greenhouse-gas emissions during constmction and after foil buildout of the project.
The Project involves the commercial development of an approximately 16.0-acre site located
within the City of Carlsbad. The site constitutes a portion of APN 213-020-18, which is
owned by the County of San Diego. The project site is situated at the southwest comer of the
intersection of Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real, immediately south of McClellen-
Palomar Airport. Surrounding land uses include industrial, open space, and residential.
The project proposes the addition of approximately 185,244 square feet (sf) of commercial
building area, a total of 659 parking spaces, landscaping, and utilities. In addition to the on-
site development with its associated intemal roads, the project will involve relocation of a
right-in/right-out driveway access at the southeast comer of the project site and off-site road
improvements at the project's proposed access point on Palomar Airport Road.
Improvements at Palomar Airport Road include a new traffic signal and access driveway to
the project site, as well as the potential widening of Palomar Airport Road to accommodate
dedicated tum lanes and pockets for ingress and egress to the site. The project may also
involve cormecting the project site to the adjacent Coxmty-maintained animal shelter to the
west ofthe project.
The proposed uses for each pad are as follows:
• Pad A: Two-story bank (6,000 sf) and retail, unknown tenant at this time
(4,500 sf)
• Pad B: Gas station and convenience store (3,770 sf)
• Pad C: Retail, unknown tenant at this time (4,000 sf)
• Retail D: Retail, unknown tenant at this time (8,000 sf)
• Retail E: Retail, unknown tenant at this time (5,000 sf)
Air Quality Technical Report 1 05/18/10
Palomar Airport Commons Project
• Retail F: Retail, home improvement store (Lowe's) (122,256 sf main store and
31,718 sf garden center for a total of 153,974 sf)
Existing uses on the project site include a resort hotel and spa (Olympic Resort), which
includes five tennis court, two pools, a driving range, and associated buildings. Site stmctures
are currently being demolished by the existing lessee and will be complete prior to initiating
grading for the proposed project. A detention basin is present between the site and the animal
shelter to the west. The site is developed or highly disturbed with little to no native
vegetation (all the onsite trees are eucalyptus or omamentals).
This Air Quality Technical Report includes an evaluation of existing conditions in the project
vicinity, an assessment of potential impacts associated with project constmction, and an
evaluation of project operational impacts.
2.0 Existing Conditions
The following section provides information about the existing air quality regulatory
framework, climate, air pollutants and sources, and sensitive receptors in the project area.
2.1 Regulatory Framework
2.1.1 Federal Regulations
Air quality is defined by ambient air concentrations of specific pollutants identified by the
United States Enviromnental Protection Agency (EPA) to be of concem with respect to health
and welfare of the general public. The EPA is responsible for enforcing the Federal Clean Air
Act (CAA) of 1970 and its 1977 and 1990 Amendments. The CAA required the EPA to
establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), which identify concentrations of
pollutants in the ambient air below which no adverse effects on the public health and welfare
are anticipated. In response, the EPA established both primary and secondary standards for
seven pollutants (called "criteria" pollutants). The seven pollutants regulated under the
A ir Quality Technical Report 2 05/18/10
Palomar Airport Commons Project
NAAQS are as follows: ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2),
respirable particulate matter (or particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10
microns or less, PMio), fine particulate matter (or particulate matter with an aerodynamic
diameter of 2.5 microns or less, PM2.5), sulfor dioxide (SO2), and lead (Pb). Primary
standards are designed to protect human health with an adequate margin of safety. Secondary
standards are designed to protect property and the public welfare from air pollutants in the
atmosphere. Areas that do not meet the NAAQS for a particular pollutant are considered to
be "nonattairunent areas" for that pollutant.
In September 1997, the EPA promulgated 8-hour O3 and 24-hour and annual PM2.5 national
standards. As a result, this action has initiated a new plarming process to monitor and
evaluate emission control measures for these pollutants. On April 15, 2004, the San Diego
Air Basin (SDAB) was designated a basic nonattainment area for the 8-hour NAAQS for O3.
In 2009 the EPA was challenged on its justification for "basic" designations. The EPA
subsequently released proposed redesignation classifications for all areas that were classified
as "basic" nonattainment. The SDAB would be redesignated as a moderate O3 nonattainment
area under the revised classifications. The SDAB is in attainment for the NAAQS for all other
criteria pollutants.
The following specific descriptions of health effects for each of the criteria air pollutants
associated with project constmction and operations are based on EPA (EPA 2007a) and the
Califomia Air Resources Board (ARB) (ARB 2005).
Ozone. O3 is considered a photochemical oxidant, which is a chemical that is formed when
reactive organic gases (ROG) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx), both by-products of combustion,
react in the presence of ultraviolet light. O3 is considered a respiratory irritant and prolonged
exposure can reduce lung function, aggravate asthma and increase susceptibility to respiratory
infections. Children and those with existing respiratory diseases are at greatest risk from
exposure to O3.
Air Quality Technical Report 3 05/18/10
Palomar Airport Commons Project
Carbon Monoxide. CO is a product of combustion, and the main source of CO in the SDAB
is from motor vehicle exhaust. CO is an odorless, colorless gas. CO affects red blood cells in
the body by binding to hemoglobin and reducing the amount of oxygen that can be carried to
the body's organs and tissues. CO can cause health effects to those with cardiovascular
disease, and can also affect mental alertness and vision.
Nitrogen Dioxide. NO2 is also a by-product of foel combustion, and is formed both directly
as a product of combustion and in the atmosphere through the reaction of nitrogen oxide (NO)
with oxygen. NO2 is a respiratory irritant and may affect those with existing respiratory
illness, including asthma. NO2 can also increase the risk of respiratory illness.
Respirable Particulate Matter and Fine Particulate Matter. Respirable particulate matter,
or PMio, refers to particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 microns or less.
Fine particulate matter, or PM2.5, refers to particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of
2.5 microns or less. Particulate matter in this size range has been determined to have the
potential to lodge in the lungs and contribute to respiratory problems. PMio and PM2.5 arise
from a variety of sources, including road dust, diesel exhaust, combustion, tire and brake
wear, constmction operations and windblown dust. PMio and PM2.5 can increase
susceptibility to respiratory infections and can aggravate existing respiratory diseases such as
asthma and chronic bronchitis. PM2.5 is considered to have the potential to lodge deeper in
the lungs.
Sulfur dioxide. SO2 is a colorless, reactive gas that is produced from the buming of sulfur-
containing foels such as coal and oil, and by other industrial processes. Generally, the highest
concentrations of SO2 are found near large industrial sources. SO2 is a respiratory irritant that
can cause narrowing of the airways leading to wheezing and shortness of breath. Long-term
exposure to SO2 can cause respiratory illness and aggravate existing cardiovascular disease.
Lead. Pb in the atmosphere occurs as particulate matter. Pb has historically been emitted
from vehicles combusting leaded gasoline, as well as from industrial sources. With the phase-
out of leaded gasoline, large manufacturing facilities are the sources of the largest amounts of
Air Quality Technical Report 4 05/18/10
Palomar Airport Commons Project
lead emissions. Pb has the potential to cause gastrointestinal, central nervous system, kidney
and blood diseases upon prolonged exposure. Pb is also classified as a probable human
carcinogen.
2.1.2 State Regulations
California Clean Air Act. The Califomia Clean Air Act was signed into law on September
30, 1988, and became effective on January 1, 1989. The Act requires that local air districts
implement regulations to reduce emissions from mobile sources through the adoption and
enforcement of transportation control measures. The Califomia Clean Air Act required the
SDAB to achieve a five percent annual reduction in ozone precursor emissions from 1987
until the standards are attained. If this reduction caimot be achieved, all feasible control
measures must be implemented. Furthermore, the Califomia Clean Air Act required local air
districts to implement a Best Available Control Technology mle and to require emission
offsets for nonattairmient pollutants.
The ARB is the state regulatory agency with authority to enforce regulations to both achieve
and maintain air quality in the state. The ARB is responsible for the development, adoption,
and enforcement of the state's motor vehicle emissions program, as well as the adoption of
the Califomia Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS). The ARB also reviews operations
and programs of the local air districts, and requires each air district with jurisdiction over a
nonattainment area to develop its own strategy for achieving the NAAQS and CAAQS. The
CAA allows states to adopt ambient air quality standards and other regulations provided they
are at least as stringent as federal standards. The ARB has established the more stringent
CAAQS for the six criteria pollutants through the Califomia Clean Air Act of 1988, and also
has established CAAQS for additional pollutants, including sulfates, hydrogen sulfide, vinyl
chloride and visibility-reducing particles. The SDAB is currently classified as a
nonattainment area under the CAAQS for O3, PMio, and PM2.5- It should be noted that the
ARB does not differentiate between attainment of the 1-hour and 8-hour CAAQS for O3;
therefore, if an air basin records exceedances of either standard the area is considered a
nonattainment area for the CAAQS for O3. The SDAB has recorded exceedances of both the
Air Quality Technical Report 5 05/18/10
Palomar Airport Commons Project
1-hour and 8-hour CAAQS for O3. The following specific descriptions of health effects for
the additional Califomia criteria air pollutants are based on the ARB (ARB 2001).
Sulfates. Sulfates are the folly oxidized ionic form of sulfor. In Califomia, emissions of
sulfor compounds occur primarily from the combustion of petroleum-derived foels (e.g.,
gasoline and diesel foel) that contain sulfor. This sulfor is oxidized to sulfor dioxide (SO2)
during the combustion process and subsequently converted to sulfate compounds in the
atmosphere. The conversion of SO2 to sulfates takes place comparatively rapidly and
completely in urban areas of Califomia due to regional meteorological features. The ARB's
sulfates standard is designed to prevent aggravation of respiratory symptoms. Effects of
sulfate exposure at levels above the standard include a decrease in ventilatory fonction,
aggravation of asthmatic symptoms and an increased risk of cardio-pulmonary disease.
Sulfates are particularly effective in degrading visibility, and due to fact that they are usually
acidic, can harm ecosystems and damage materials and property.
Hydrogen Sulfide. H2S is a colorless gas with the odor of rotten eggs. It is formed during
bacterial decomposition of sulfor-containing organic substances. Also, it can be present in
sewer gas and some natural gas, and can be emitted as the result of geothermal energy
exploitation. Breathing H2S at levels above the standard would result in exposure to a very
disagreeable odor. In 1984, an ARB committee concluded that the ambient standard for H2S
is adequate to protect public health and to significantly reduce odor annoyance.
Vinyl Chloride. Vinyl chloride, a chlorinated hydrocarbon, is a colorless gas with a mild,
sweet odor. Most vinyl chloride is used to make polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic and vinyl
products. Vinyl chloride has been detected near landfills, sewage plants and hazardous waste
sites, due to microbial breakdown of chlorinated solvents. Short-term exposure to high levels
of vinyl chloride in air causes central nervous system effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness
and headaches. Long-term exposure to vinyl chloride through inhalation and oral exposure
causes liver damage. Cancer is a major concem fi-om exposure to vinyl chloride via
inhalation. Vinyl chloride exposure has been shown to increase the risk of angiosarcoma, a
rare form of liver cancer, in humans.

Palomar Airport Commons Project
Visibility Reducing Particles. Visibility-reducing particles consist of suspended particulate
matter, which is a complex mixture of tiny particles that consists of dry solid fragments, solid
cores with liquid coatings, and small droplets of liquid. These particles vary greatly in shape,
size and chemical composition, and can be made up of many different materials such as
metals, soot, soil, dust, and salt. The CAAQS is intended to limit the frequency and severity
of visibility impairment due to regional haze. A separate standard for visibility-reducing
particles that is applicable only in the Lake Tahoe Air Basin is based on reduction in scenic
quality.
Table 1 presents a summary of the ambient air quality standards adopted by the federal and
Cahfomia Clean Air Acts.

Toxic Air Contaminants. In 1983, the Califomia Legislature enacted a program to identify
the health effects of Toxic Air Contaminants (TACs) and to reduce exposure to these
contaminants to protect the public health (AB 1807: Health and Safety Code sections 39650-
39674). The Legislature established a two-step process to address the potential health effects
from TACs. The first step is the risk assessment (or identification) phase. The second step is
the risk management (or control) phase ofthe process.
The State of Califomia has identified diesel particulate matter as a TAC. Diesel particulate
matter is emitted from on- and off-road vehicles that utilize diesel as foel. Following
identification of diesel particulate matter as a TAC in 1998, the ARB has worked on
developing strategies and regulations aimed at reducing the emissions and associated risk
from diesel particulate matter. The overall strategy for achieving these reductions is found in
the Risk Reduction Plan to Reduce Particulate Matter from Diesel-Fueled Engines and
Vehicles (State of Califomia 2000). A stated goal of the plan is to reduce the cancer risk
statewide arising from exposure to diesel particulate matter by 75 percent by 2010 and by 85
percent by 2020. The Risk Reduction Plan contains the following three components:
• New regulatory standards for all new on-road, off-road and stationary diesel-foeled
engines and vehicles to reduce diesel particulate matter emissions by about 90 percent
overall from current levels;
. New retrofit requirements for existing on-road, off-road and stationary diesel-foeled
engines and vehicles where determined to be technically feasible and cost-effective;
and
• New Phase 2 diesel foel regulations to reduce the sulfor content levels of diesel foel to
no more than 15 ppm to provide the quality of diesel foel needed by the advanced
diesel particulate matter emission controls.
A number of programs and strategies to reduce diesel particulate matter are in place or are in
the process of being developed as part of the ARB's Diesel Risk Reduction Program. Some
Air Quality Technical Report 9 05/18/10
Palomar Airport Commons Project
of these programs and strategies include those that would apply to constmction and operation
ofthe Palomar Airport Commons Project, including the following:
In 2001, the ARB adopted new particulate matter and NOx emission standards to
clean up large diesel engines that power big-rig tmcks, trash tmcks, delivery vans and
other large vehicles. The new standard for particulate matter takes effect in 2007 and
reduces emissions to 0.01 gram of particulate matter per brake horsepower-hour
(g/bhp-hr.) This is a 90 percent reduction from the existing particulate matter standard.
New engines will meet the 0.01 g/bhp-hr particulate matter standard with the aid of
diesel particulate filters that trap the particulate matter before exhaust leaves the
vehicle.
ARB has worked closely with the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(U.S. EPA) on developing new particulate matter and NOx standards for engines used
in offroad equipment such as backhoes, graders, and farm equipment. U.S EPA has
proposed new standards that would reduce the emission from off-road engines to
similar levels to the on-road engines discussed above by 2010 - 2012. These new
engine standards were adopted as part of the Clean Air Nonroad Diesel Final Rule in
2004. Once approved by U.S. EPA, ARB will adopt these as the applicable state
standards for new off-road engines. These standards will reduce diesel particulate
matter emission by over 90 percent from new off-road engines currently sold in
CaHfomia.
The ARB has adopted several regulations that will reduce diesel emissions from in-use
vehicles and engines throughout Califomia. In some cases, the particulate matter
reduction strategies also reduce smog-forming emissions such as NOx.
As an ongoing process, the ARB reviews air contaminants and identifies those that are
classified as TACs. The ARB also continues to establish new programs and regulations for
the control of TACs, including diesel particulate matter, as appropriate.
The local air pollution control district (APCD) has the primary responsibility for the
development and implementation of mles and regulations designed to attain the NAAQS and
CAAQS, as well as the permitting of new or modified sources, development of air quality
management plans, and adoption and enforcement of air pollution regulations. The San Diego
APCD is the local agency responsible for the administration and enforcement of air quality
regulations in San Diego County.
A ir Quality Technical Report 10 05/18/10
Palomar Airport Commons Project
The APCD and the San Diego Association of Govemments (SANDAG) are responsible for
developing and implementing the clean air plan for attainment and maintenance of the
ambient air quality standards in the SDAB. The San Diego County Regional Air Quality
Strategy (RAQS) was initially adopted in 1991, and is updated on a trieimial basis. The
RAQS was updated in 1995, 1998, 2001, 2004 and most recently in 2009 (APCD 2009). The
RAQS outlines APCD's plans and control measures designed to attain the state air quality
standards for O3. The RAQS does not address the state air quality standards for PMio or
PM2.5. The APCD has also developed the air basin's input to the State Implementation Plan
(SIP), which is required under the Federal Clean Air Act for areas that are out of attainment of
air quality standards. The SIP includes the APCD's plans and control measures for attaining
the O3 NAAQS. The SIP is also updated on a triennial basis. The latest SIP update was
submitted by the ARB to the EPA in 1998, and the APCD is in the process of updating its SIP
to reflect the new 8-hour O3 NAAQS. To that end, the APCD has developed its Eight-Hour
Ozone Attainment Plan for San Diego County (hereinafter referred to as the Attaimnent Plan)
(APCD 2007). The Attainment Plan forms the basis for the SIP update, as it contains
documentation on emission inventories and trends, the APCD's emission control strategy, and
an attainment demonstration that shows that the SDAB will meet the NAAQS for O3.
Emission inventories, projections, and trends in the Attainment Plan are based on the latest O3
SIP planning emission projections compiled and maintained by ARB. Supporting data were
developed jointly by stakeholder agencies, including ARB, the APCD, the South Coast Air
Quality Management District (SCAQMD), the Southem Califomia Association of
Govemments (SCAG), and SANDAG. Each agency plays a role in collecting and reviewing
data as necessary to generate comprehensive emission inventories. The supporting data
include socio-economic projections, industrial and travel activity levels, emission factors, and
emission speciation profiles. These projections are based on data submitted by stakeholder
agencies including projections in municipal General Plans.
The ARB compiles annual statewide emission inventories in its emission-related information
database, the Califomia Emission Inventory Development and Reporting System (CEIDARS).
Emission projections for past and fofore years were generated using the Cahfomia Emission
Forecasting System (CEFS), developed by ARB to project emission trends and track progress
A ir Quality Technical Report 11 05/18/10
Palomar Airport Commons Project
towards meeting emission reduction goals and mandates. CEFS utilizes the most current
growth and emissions control data available and agreed upon by the stakeholder agencies to
provide comprehensive projections of anthropogenic (human activity-related) emissions for
any year from 1975 through 2030. Local air districts are responsible for compiling emissions
data for all point sources and many stationary area-wide sources. For mobile sources, CEFS
integrates emission estimates from ARB's EMFAC2007 and OFFROAD models. SCAG and
SANDAG incorporate data regarding highway and transit projects into their Travel Demand
Models for estimating and projecting vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and speed. The ARB's
on-road emissions inventory in EMFAC2007 relies on these VMT and speed estimates. To
complete the inventory, estimates of biogenic (naturally occurring) emissions are developed
by ARB using the Biogenic Emissions Inventory Geographic Information System (BEIGIS)
model.
Because the ARB mobile source emission projections and SANDAG growth projections are
based on population and vehicle trends and land use plans developed by the cities and by the
County as part of the development of General Plans, projects that propose development that is
consistent with the growth anticipated by the general plans would be consistent with the
RAQS and the Attainment Plan. In the event that a project would propose development
which is less dense than anticipated within the general plan, the project would likewise be
consistent with the RAQS and the Attaiimient Plan. If a project proposes development that is
greater than that anticipated in the general plan and SANDAG's growth projections, the
project might be in conflict with the RAQS and SIP, and might have a potentially significant
impact on air quality.
2.1.3 Local Regulations
The project site is located in the City of Carlsbad. The City of Carlsbad has not developed
specific regulations or significance thresholds for air quality. In San Diego County, the
SDAPCD is the regulatory agency that is responsible for maintaining air quality, including
implementation and enforcement of state and federal regulations.
A ir Quality Technical Report 12 05/18/10
Palomar Airport Commons Project
2.2 Climate and Meteorology
The project site is located in the SDAB. The climate of the SDAB is dominated by a semi-
permanent high pressure cell located over the Pacific Ocean. This cell influences the
direction of prevailing winds (westerly to northwesterly) and maintains clear skies for much
ofthe year. Figure 1 provides a graphic representation ofthe prevailing winds in the project
vicinity, as measured at MCAS Miramar, which is the closest meteorological monitoring
station to the site, and provides general wind trends in the County. The high pressure cell also
creates two types of temperature inversions that may act to degrade local air quality.
Subsidence inversions occur during the warmer months as descending air associated with the
Pacific high pressure cell comes into contact with cool marine air. The boundary between the
two layers of air creates a temperature inversion that traps pollutants. The other type of
inversion, a radiation inversion, develops on winter nights when air near the ground cools by
heat radiation and air aloft remains warm. The shallow inversion layer formed between these
two air masses also can trap pollutants. As the pollutants become more concentrated in the
atmosphere, photochemical reactions occur that produce ozone, commonly known as smog.
2.3 Background Air Oualitv
The APCD operates a network of ambient air monitoring stations throughout San Diego
County. The purpose of the monitoring stations is to measure ambient concentrations of the
pollutants and determine whether the ambient air quality meets the CAAQS and the NAAQS.
The nearest ambient monitoring station to the project site is the Camp Pendleton monitoring
station, which measures O3, and NO2, and commenced monitoring PM2.5 at the end of 2008.
The nearest monitoring station that measures all other pollutants except SO2 is located in
Escondido. The nearest monitoring station that measures SO2 in San Diego County is located
in downtown San Diego. Ambient concentrations of pollutants over the last five years are
presented in Table 2.

3.0 Thresholds of Significance
The State of Califomia has developed guidelines to address the significance of air quality
impacts based on Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines. According to Appendix G of
the CEQA Guidelines, the Proposed Project would have a significant impact on air quality if:
1. It conflicts with or obstmcts the implementation of the San Diego Regional Air
Quality Strategy (RAQS) or applicable portions of the State Implementation Plan
(SIP);
Air Quality Technical Report
Palomar Airport Commons Project
15 05/18/10
2. It violates any air quality standard or contributes substantially to an existing or
projected air quality violation;
3. It results in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which
the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air
quality standard. In the SDAB, the project region is non-attainment for the federal
standard for O3 and the state standards for O3, PMio, and PM2.5.
4. It exposes sensitive receptors (including, but not limited to, schools, hospitals, resident
care facilities, parks, or day-care centers) to substantial pollutant concentrations; or
5. It creates objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people.
The City of Carlsbad has not adopted specific emission thresholds by which to evaluate the
significance of air quaUty impacts of projects within its jurisdiction. However, stationary
source thresholds identified by the local air pollution control agency are often used as
quantitative significance thresholds to evaluate whether emissions have the potential to result
in a significant impact on the ambient air quality. The San Diego APCD has established
emission thresholds for stationary sources in Rules 20.2 and 20.3, above which a source
would be required to conduct an air quality impact assessment to demonstrate that the project
would not cause or contribute to a violation of an air quality standard. These emission
thresholds provide a basis for evaluating whether a project's emissions could result in an
adverse air quality impacts. The San Diego APCD emission thresholds are shown in Table 3.
While these thresholds do not apply to mobile sources specifically, they are used by the City
of San Diego as significance thresholds (City of San Diego 2007) and because the City of
Carlsbad has not adopted significance thresholds, the City's thresholds are used to evaluate
the potential for significant impacts.
Should emissions exceed the thresholds in Table 3, forther evaluation may be conducted to
determine whether, as discussed above under Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, the
project would violate any air quality standard or contributes substantially to an existing or
projected air quality violation. To conduct this forther evaluation for attainment pollutants
such as CO and SOx, an air quality impact assessment may be conducted to determine
whether the project would result in an exceedance of an air quality standard.

"Threshold for PM2.5 from SCAQMD
''Threshold for ROG from City of San Diego Significance Determination Thresholds (City of San Diego 2007)
For nonattainment pollutants (ozone, with ozone precursors NOx and ROG), PM2.5, iand PMio,
modeling is not generally conducted because background ambient levels already exceed the
air quality standards. If emissions of nonattainment pollutants or precursors exceed the
thresholds shown in Table 4, the project would have the potential to result in a cumulatively
considerable net increase in these pollutants and thus would have a significant impact on the
ambient air quality.
In addition to impacts from criteria pollutants, project impacts may include emissions of
pollutants identified by the state and federal govemment as toxic air contaminants (TACs) or
Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs). In San Diego County, APCD Regulation XII establishes
acceptable risk levels and emission control requirements for new and modified facilities that
may emit additional TACs. Under Rule 1200, permits will be granted to a source with a risk
of 10 in 1 million or less provided the source implements Toxics-Best Available Control
Technology. Under Rule 1210, emissions of TACs that result in a cancer risk of
10 in 1 million or less and a health hazard index of one or less would not be required to notify
the public of potential health risks. If a project has the potential to result in emissions of any
TAC or HAP which result in a cancer risk of greater than 10 in 1 million, the project would be
deemed to have a potentially significant impact.
With regard to evaluating whether a project would have a significant impact on sensitive
receptors, air quality regulators typically define sensitive receptors as residences, schools
(Preschool-12* Grade), hospitals, resident care facilities, parks, or day-care centers, or other
Air Quality Technical Report 17 05/18/10
Palomar Airport Commons Project
facilities that may house individuals with health conditions that would be adversely impacted
by changes in air quality. Any project which has the potential to directly impact a sensitive
receptor located within 1 mile and results in a health risk greater than 10 in 1 million would
be deemed to have a potentially significant impact.
APCD Rule 51 (Public Nuisance) also prohibits emission of any material which causes
nuisance to a considerable number of persons or endangers the comfort, health or safety of
any person. A project that proposes a use which would produce objectionable odors would be
deemed to have a significant odor impact if it would affect a considerable number of offsite
receptors. The APCD is also in the process of adopting Rule 55, which regulates emissions of
fogitive dust.
The impacts associated with constmction and operation of the project were evaluated for
significance based on these significance criteria.
4.0 Impacts
The Palomar Airport Commons Project would result in both constmction and operational
impacts. Constmction impacts include emissions associated with the constmction of the
project. Operational impacts include emissions associated with the project, including traffic,
at foil buildout.
4.1 Consistency with the RAQS and SIP
The Proposed Project would have a significant impact if it conflicts with or obstructs
implementation of the applicable air quality plans (the RAQS and SIP).
As discussed in Section 2.1, the SP is the document that sets forth the state's strategies for
attaining and maintaining the NAAQS. The APCD is responsible for developing the San
Diego portion of the SIP, and has developed an attainment plan for attaining the 8-hour
NAAQS for O3. The RAQS sets forth the plans and programs designed to meet the state air
A ir Quality Technical Report 18 05/78/10
Palomar Airport Commons Project
quality standards. Through the RAQS and SIP planning processes, the APCD adopts mles,
regulations, and programs designed to achieve attainment of the ambient air quality standards
and maintain air quality in the SDAB.
Conformance with the RAQS and SIP determines whether a Project will conflict with or
obstmct implementation of the applicable air quality plans. The basis for the RAQS and SIP
is the distribution of population in the San Diego region as projected by SANDAG. Growth
forecasting is based in part on the land uses established by the General Plan.
The RAQS and SIP address air emissions and impacts from industrial sources, area-wide
sources, and mobile sources. The programs also consider transportation control measures and
indirect source review. Industrial sources are typically stationary air pollution sources that are
subject to APCD mles and regulations, and over which the APCD has regulatory authority.
Area-wide sources include sources such as consumer products use, small utility engines, hot
water heaters, and fomaces. Both the ARB and the APCD have authority to regulate these
sources and have developed plans and programs to reduce emissions from certain types of
area-wide sources. Mobile sources are principally emissions from motor vehicles. The ARB
establishes emission standards for motor vehicles and establishes regulations for other mobile
source activities including off-road vehicles.
Both the RAQS and SIP address emissions of ozone precursors (ROG and NOx), as the
SDAB is classified as a basic nonattairunent area for the NAAQS and a nonattainment area
for the CAAQS. The RAQS and SIP do not address particulate matter. The Califomia CAA
requires an air quality strategy to achieve a 5% average annual ozone precursor emission
reduction when implemented or, if that is not achievable, an expeditious schedule for adopting
every feasible emission control measure under air district purview (Califomia Health and
Safety Code (H&SC) Section 40914). The current RAQS represents an expeditious schedule
for adopting feasible control measures, since neither San Diego nor any air district in the State
has demonstrated sustained 5% average annual ozone precursor reductions.
Air Quality Technical Report 19 05/18/10
Palomar Airport Commons Project
M Most of the control measures adopted in the RAQS apply to industrial sources and specific
source categories. There are no specific mles and regulations that apply to constmction or
operational sources associated with the Palomar Airport Commons Project; however, off-road
equipment and on-road vehicles involved in constmction would be required to comply with
ARB emission standards.
In 1992 SANDAG adopted Transportation Control Measures for the Air Quality Plan which
set forth 11 tactics aimed at reducing traffic congestion and motor vehicle emissions within
the SDAB. For each of these tactics, the Transportation Control Measures evaluated the
potential emissions reductions on a region-wide basis. The tactics include the following:
Commute travel reduction program
High school, college, and university travel reduction program
Goods movement/tmck operation program
Non-commute travel reduction program
Transit improvements and expansion
Vanpool program
High occupancy vehicle lanes
Park and ride facilities
Bicycle facilities
Traffic flow improvements
Indirect source control program
The tactic that is most applicable to the proposed Project is the indirect source control
program. The Transportation Control Measures adopted by SANDAG identified job-housing
balance, mixed use, and transit corridor development as criteria for indirect source control.
As part of job-housing balance, SANDAG indicated that land use policies and programs shall
be established to attract appropriate employers to residential areas and to encourage
appropriate housing in and near industrial and business areas. Mixed use development should
be designed to maximize walking and minimize vehicle use by providing housing,
Air Quality Technical Report 20 05/18/10
Palomar Airport Commons Project
employment, education, shopping, recreation and any support facilities within convenient
proximity.
The Palomar Airport Commons Project meets the criteria ofthe RAQS, SIP, and SANDAG's
Transportation Control Measures as it provides commercial uses and employment in an area
surrounded by residential uses. The Project is located with close proximity to transit, and is
also within walking distance of residential uses to the east, and a short distance to other
residential uses in the surrounding area. The Project is also located within a commercial area
and will provide the area with retail and restaurant uses.
Accordingly the proposed Project is consistent with the applicable air quality plans, and
would not result in a significant impact.
4.2 Violation of an Air Quality Standard
The Proposed Project would have a significant impact if it violates any air quality
standard or contributes substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation.
To address this significance threshold, an evaluation of emissions associated with both the
constmction and operational phases of the Project was conducted.
4.2.1 Constmction Impacts
Emissions of pollutants such as fogitive dust and heavy equipment exhaust that are generated
during constmction are generally highest near the constmction site. Emissions from the
constmction of the project were estimated using the URBEMIS Model, Version 9.2.4 (Rimpo
and Associates 2007). It was assumed that constmction would require the following phases:
fine grading, building constmction, paving, and architectural coatings application.
The URBEMIS Model provides default assumptions regarding horsepower rating, load factors
for heavy equipment, and hours of operation per day. Default assumptions within the
URBEMIS Model were used to represent operation of heavy constmction equipment. Table 4
A ir Quality Technical Report 21 05/18/10
Palomar Airport Commons Project
provides estimates of constmction equipment requirements for the project for each phase of
constmction, as estimated by the URBEMIS Model for each phase of constmction.

Constmction calculations within the URBEMIS Model utilize the number and type of
equipment shown in Table 4 to calculate emissions fi^om heavy constmction equipment. The
methodology used involves multiplication of the number of pieces of each type of equipment
times the equipment horsepower rating, load factor, and OFFROAD emission factor, as
shown in the equation below:
Emissions, lbs/day = (Number of pieces of equipment) x (equipment horsepower) x
(load factor) x (hours of operation per day) x (OFFROAD emission factor,
Ibs/hp-hr)
Air Quality Technical Report
Palomar Airport Commons Project
22 05/18/10
In addition to calculating emissions from heavy constmction equipment, the URBEMIS
Model contains calculation modules to estimate emissions of fogitive dust, based on the
amount of earthmoving or surface disturbance required; emissions from heavy-duty tmck trips
or vendor trips during constmction activities; emissions from constmction worker vehicles
during daily commutes; emissions of ROG from paving using asphalt; and emissions of ROG
during application of architectural coatings.
Table 5 provides the detailed emission estimates for each phase of constmction as calculated
with the URBEMIS Model for each of the constmction phases of the project, without
mitigation. Appendix A provides URBEMIS Model outputs showing the constmction
calculations without application of mitigation measures.
As shown in Table 5, emissions of criteria pollutants during constmction would be below the
thresholds of significance for all project constmction phases. Project criteria pollutant
emissions during constmction would be temporary.

4.2.2 Operational Impacts
Operational impacts associated with the Palomar Airport Commons Project would include
impacts associated with vehicular traffic, as well as area sources such as energy use,
landscaping, consumer products use, and architectural coatings use for maintenance purposes.
The Traffic Impact Analysis for Palomar Airport Commons (Urban Systems 2009) calculated
project trip generation rates based on the proposed development. According to the Traffic
Impact Analysis, considering pass-by trip reductions and based on SANDAG trip generation
rates, the project would generate a net traffic increase of 11,452 ADT. The trip generation
rates, considering pass-by trips, were accounted for within the URBEMIS Model mns for
vehicular emissions.
Operational impacts associated with vehicular traffic and area sources including energy use,
landscaping, consumer products use, hearth emissions, and architectural coatings use for
maintenance purposes were estimated using the URBEMIS model. Version 9.2.4. It should
be noted that the URBEMIS model does not contain San Diego-specific emission factors;
therefore, emissions were based on SCAQMD averages. The URBEMIS Model calculates
vehicle emissions based on emission factors from the EMFAC2007 model. It was assumed
that the first year of foil occupancy would be 2012. Based on the results of the EMFAC2007
model for subsequent years, emissions would decrease on an annual basis from 2012 onward
due to phase-out of higher polluting vehicles and implementation of more stringent emission
standards that are taken into account in the EMFAC2007 model. Table 6 presents the resuhs
of the emission calculations, in lbs/day, along with a comparison with the significance
criteria.

Based on the estimates of the emissions associated with Project operations, the emissions of
CO, without considering mitigation measures, are above the screening-level thresholds.
Mitigation measures considered in the analysis include the following:
• Building will exceed Title 24 standards by 20%
• 20% of landscaping equipment to be electrically powered
• Low-VOC architectural coatings
• Mix of uses in the project vicinity, including residential and commercial
• Project provides local serving retail establishments
• 20 weekday buses stopping within VA mile of site (NCTD Carlsbad Village to Palomar
College Route)
• Bicycle and pedestrian-friendly access to site

Because emissions of CO are above the quantitative significance thresholds, the poteiitial for
an exceedance ofthe CO standard has been evaluated. Projects involving traffic impacts may
result in the formation of locally high concentrations of CO, known as CO "hot spots." To
verify that the project would not cause or contribute to a violation of the CO standard, a
screening evaluation of the potential for CO "hot spots" was conducted. Project-related
traffic would have the potential to result in CO "hot spots" if project-related traffic resulted in
a degradation in the level of service at any intersection to LOS E or F. The Traffic Impact
Analysis evaluated whether or not there would be a decrease in the level of service at the
intersections affected by the Project.
Based on the Traffic Impact Analysis, no intersections would degrade to LOS E or F due to
project-related traffic. Because the analysis did not project any significant degradation in
LOS due to the project, no CO "hot spots" would be anticipated.
Air Quality Technical Report
Palomar Airport Commons Project
27 05/18/10
The project would therefore not result in any significant impacts to the ambient air quality due
to emissions of criteria pollutants during constmction or operations. Maximum daily
constmction emissions are below the significance thresholds. Operational emissions are
below the significance thresholds for all pollutants except CO; however, emissions of CO
would not adversely affect the ambient air quality because no CO "hot spots" would result.
4.3 Cumulatively Considerable Net Increase of Nonattainment Pollutants
The Proposed Project would have a significant impact if it results in a cumulatively
considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is
nonattainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard
(including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone
precursors.
As discussed in Section 2.0, the SDAB is considered a nonattainment area for the 8-hour
NAAQS for O3, and is considered a nonattainment area for the CAAQS for O3, PMjo, and
PM2.5. An evaluation of emissions of nonattainment pollutants was conducted in Section 4.2,
and it was determined that emissions of all nonattainment pollutants would be below the
screening-level thresholds.
The region surrounding the Palomar Airport Commons Project is already developed; the
project provides infill development. Because the project provides infill development, it would
not be anticipated to increase vehicle trips in the region; rather, the project would serve the
needs of providing local retail to the community. The project would therefore not result in a
cumulatively considerable increase emissions of ozone precursors (NOx and VOCs).
The Traffic Impact Analysis identified five cumulative projects that were included in traffic
projections for the area. The five projects and their locations include the following:
• Carlsbad Paseo (61,860 sf of restaurants and retail)
• Legoland Hotel (250 room resort hotel)
• 25.0 acres of new Bressi Industrial Park Development
Air Quality Technical Report 28 05/18/10
Palomar Airport Commons Project
• Green Dragon Tavem (21,334 sf restaurant/museum)
• Carlsbad High School Phase 2
The closest project to the Palomar Airport Commons Project is the Bressi Industrial Park
Development at El Fuerte and Palomar Airport Road, which is more than 0.25 miles from the
project site. It is unlikely that both projects would be under constmction simultaneously;
however, the potential for cumulative constmction impacts was evaluated.
To evaluate the potential for cumulative impacts from constmction at the Palomar Airport
Commons Project site and the Bressi Industrial Park site, the following equation was used
(Desert Research Institute 1996), which is utilized in the SCAQMD's Localized Significance
Threshold Methodology (SCAQMD 2003) to evaluate localized PM,o impacts:
Cx = 0.9403 Co e-°-^^^'^
Where Cx = predicted PMio concentration at X meters from the fenceline;
Co = PMio concentration at the fenceline;
e = natural logarithm; and
X = distance in meters from the fenceline.
Conservatively assuming Co equals the 24-hour ambient air quality standard of 50 ^g/m ,
fogitive PMio concentrations would decrease with distance from the fenceline. As shown in
the chart below, by 100 meters (approximately 330 feet) from the project boundary, the
concentration of PMio would decrease by 99 percent.

The Bressi Industrial Park site is not located within 100 meters of the Palomar Airport
Commons Project; therefore, no cumulative constmction impacts are anticipated from the
constmction of both projects simultaneously.
4.4 Exposure of Sensitive Receptors to Substantial Pollutant Concentrations
The Proposed Project would have a significant impact if it exposes sensitive receptors
(including, but not limited to, schools, hospitals, resident care facilities, parks, or day-
care centers) to substantial pollutant concentrations.
The threshold concems whether the project could expose sensitive receptors to substantial
pollutant concentrations of TACs. If a project has the potential to result in emissions of any
TAC which result in a cancer risk of greater than 10 in 1 million or substantial non-cancer
risk, the project would be deemed to have a potentially significant impact.
Air quality regulators typically define sensitive receptors as schools (Preschool-12* Grade),
hospitals, resident care facilities, or day-care centers, or other facilities that may house
individuals with health conditions that would be adversely impacted by changes in air quality.
Residential land uses may also be considered sensitive receptors. The nearest sensitive
receptors to the site are the residents located to the east of the project site, approximately 0.25
miles from the project.
Air Quality Technical Report
Palomar Airport Commons Project
30 05/18/10
Emissions of TACs are attributable to temporary emissions from constmction emissions, and
minor emissions associated with diesel tmck traffic used for deliveries at the site. Tmck
traffic may result in emissions of diesel particulate matter, which is characterized by the State
of Califomia as a toxic air contaminant (TAC). Certain types of projects are recommended to
be evaluated for impacts associated with TACs. In accordance with the SCAQMD's "Health
Risk Assessment Guidance for Analyzing Cancer Risks from Mobile Source Diesel Idling
Emissions for CEQA Air Quality Analysis" (SCAQMD 2003), projects that should be
evaluated for diesel particulate emissions include tmck stops, distribution centers,
warehouses, and transit centers which diesel vehicles would utilize and which would be
sources of diesel particulate matter from heavy-duty diesel tmcks. A retail development such
as the Palomar Airport Commons Project would not attract a disproportionate amount of
diesel tmcks and would not be considered a source of TAC emissions. Based on the
URBEMIS Model, heavy-duty diesel tmcks would account for only 0.9 percent of the total
trips associated with the project. Impacts to sensitive receptors from TAC emissions would
therefore be less than significant.
4.5 Objectionable Odors
The Proposed Project would have a significant impact if it creates objectionable odors
affecting a substantial number of people.
Project constmction could result in minor amounts of odor compounds associated with diesel
heavy equipment exhaust. These compounds would be emitted in various amounts and at
various locations during constmction. Sensitive receptors located in the vicinity of the
constmction site include the residences to the east of the site. Odors are highest near the
source and would quickly dissipate offsite; any odors associated with constmction would be
temporary.
The Project is a retail development and would not include land uses that would be sources of
nuisance odors. Thus the potential for odor impacts associated with the project is less than
significant.

Palomar Airpori Commons Project
5.0 Mitigation Measures
As discussed in Section 4.0, no significant impacts have been identified for air quality.
Mitigation measures are therefore not required to reduce impacts to below a level of
significance; however, measures to reduce emissions will be employed during constmction
and operation of the project.
Standard dust control measures will be employed during constmction. These standard dust
control measures include the following:
• Watering active grading sites a minimum of three times daily
• Apply soil stabilizers to inactive constmction sites
• Replace ground cover in disturbed areas as soon as possible
• Control dust during equipment loading/unloading (load moist material, ensure at least
12 inches of freeboard in haul tmcks
• Reduce speeds on impaved roads to 15 mph or less
• Water unpaved roads a minimum of three times daily
These dust control measures will reduce the amoimt of fogitive dust generated during
constmction.
In addition to dust control measures, architectural coatings applied to interior and exterior
surfaces will be required to meet the ROG limitations of SDAPCD Rule 67.0, which limits
the ROG content of most coatings to 150 grams/liter. Coatings will also be applied using
high volume, low pressure spray equipment to reduce overspray to the extent possible.
Operational mitigation measures considered in the analysis include the following:
• Building will exceed Title 24 standards by 20%
• 20% of landscaping equipment to be electrically powered
Air Quality Technical Report 32 05/18/10
Palomar Airport Commons Project
• Low-VOC architecforal coatings
• Mix of uses in the project vicinity, including residential and commercial
• Project provides local serving retail establishments
• 20 weekday buses stopping within % mile of site (Bus route 321)
• Bicycle and pedestrian-friendly access to site
Operational emissions would not result in a violation of an air quality standard or a
cumulatively considerable impact.
6.0 Summary and Conclusions
In summary, the proposed project would result in emissions of air pollutants for both the
constmction phase and operational phase of the project. The air quality impact analysis
evaluated the potential for adverse impacts to the ambient air quality due to constmction and
operational emissions. Constmction emissions would include emissions associated with
fogitive dust, heavy constmction equipment and constmction worker commuting to and from
the site. The project would employ dust control measures such as watering to control
emissions during constmction and use of low-ROG paints. Emissions are less than the
significance thresholds for all pollutants.
Operational emissions would include emissions associated with retail operations, including
energy use and landscaping, and with vehicle traffic. As discussed in Section 4.0, the impacts
would be less than significant.
Emissions of TACs would not result in a significant impact to the project, and project
emissions of TACs would be less than significant.
