Eagle Rock Aggregates (ERA) proposes to construct and operate the ERA Oakland Terminal Project (Project), a marine terminal at the Port of Oakland that would import, store, and distribute bulk construction aggregates (i.e., sand and gravel). The Project is located at the Port of Oakland's Outer Harbor Terminal and would utilize Berth 22 vessel and barge operations and approximately 18 acres of Berth 20, 21, and 22 backlands (land directly adjacent to a vessel berth) for stockpiling and distribution of construction aggregates. The Project site lies within the boundary of the Oakland Army Base (OAB) Area Redevelopment Plan. The following Proposed Project impacts would be below thresholds of significance with mitigation measures: -Create new source of light or glare which would adversely affect daytime or nighttime views (Mitigation Measure 4.11-1). -Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations (Mitigation Measures ERA AQ-1 and ERA AQ-2). -Result in a substantial increase in diesel emissions (Mitigation Measures ERA AQ-1 and ERA AQ-2). -Be located on a site that is included on a list of hazardous materials sites (Mitigation Measures 4.7-4, 4.7-5, and 4.7-10). -Generate noise in violation of City of Oakland Noise Ordinance and City nuisance standards (Mitigation Measure 4.5-1). -Cause existing or future baseline LOS to degrade to worse than LOS D (Mitigation Measure ERA TRANS-1). -Be served by a landfill with insufficient permitted capacity to accommodate solid waste disposal needs / violate applicable federal, state, or local statutes and regulations related to solid waste (Mitigation Measures 4.9-7 and 4.9-8). -Contribute to a cumulative impact on landfill permitted capacity (Mitigation Measures 4.9-7 and 4.9-8). The following Proposed Project impacts would exceed air quality thresholds of significance even with mitigation: -Result in construction emissions or total operational emissions exceeding BAAQMD recommended NOx thresholds. -Conflict with or obstruct implementation of applicable air quality plan (due to NOx and PM2.5 at MEIW). -Violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected violation (due to NOx and PM2.5 at MEIW). -Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of NOx and PM2.5. -Result in a cumulative exposure of sensitive people to substantial pollutant concentrations. Revised September 2011 continued If applicable, describe any of the project’s areas of controversy known to the Lead Agency, including issues raised by agencies and the public. Areas of controversy raised by agencies and/or the public include: -West Oakland communities will be exposed to additional air quality and health effects with implementation of the Project. -The Project will create few jobs for West Oakland residents. -Dust and air pollution impacts associated with the construction and operation of the Project. -Potential health risk to sensitive populations as a result of Project construction and operation -Diesel emissions from ocean-going vessels and tugs (to transport barges) will contribute West Oakland pollution. -The Project will increase truck traffic. -The Project will displace parking without alternatives. Provide a list of the responsible or trustee agencies for the project.
