Mr. William Jones City of Los Angeles, Bureau of Engineering 1149 S. Broadway, Suite 600, MS 939 Los Angeles, CA 90015 RE: Los Angeles Trans-Pacific Telecommunications Cable Hub Notice of Preparation of a Draft EIR SCH#2016101050 IGR#07-LA-2016-00235 (FL) Vic. LA/ 01/ PM 25.2 Dear Mr. Jones:
Thank you for including the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in the environmental review process for the above referenced project. The proposed project includes installation and operation of up to four transpacific submarine cable systems, which would connect the US to various Asia-Pacific, starting with Hong Kong.
The nearest State facility to the proposed project is SR-1. A truck/traffic construction management 2-1 plan is needed for this project to evaluate any potential traffic impacts on the State Highway System. If one has been prepared, please submit for Caltrans' review.
As a reminder, any transportation of heavy construction equipment and/or materials, which requires 2-2 the use of oversized-transport vehicles on State highways will require a Caltrans transportation permit. Caltrans recommends that large size truck trips be limited to off-peak commute periods.
In addition, any work performed within the State-Right-of-Way will need an encroachment permit. For 2-3 information on the Permit process, please contact Caltrans District 7, Office of Permit at (213) 897- 3631.
Storm water run-off is a sensitive issue for Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Please be mindful of 2-4 your need to discharge clean run-off water and it is not permitted to discharge onto State highway facilities.
If you have any quef ons or concerns regarding these comments, please contact project coordinator, Frances Le at (21 ·/ 897-0673 or electronically at [email protected].

[email protected] Mr. William Jones, Environmental Supervisor II City of Los Angeles, Development of Public Works Bureau of Engineering, EMG 1149 S. Broadway, Suite 600, Mail Stop 939 Los Angeles, CA 90015 Notice of Preparation of a CEQA Document for the Los Angeles Trans-Pacific Telecommunications Cable Hub Project
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) staff appreciates the opportunity to comment on the above- mentioned document. The SCAQMD staff’s comments are recommendations regarding the analysis of potential air quality impacts from the proposed project that should be included in the Draft EIR. Please send the SCAQMD a copy of the Draft EIR upon its completion. Note that copies of the Draft EIR that are submitted to the State Clearinghouse are not forwarded to the SCAQMD. Please forward a copy of the Draft EIR directly to SCAQMD at the address in our letterhead. In addition, please send with the Draft EIR all appendices or technical documents related to the air quality and greenhouse gas analyses and electronic versions of all air quality modeling and health risk assessment files. These include original emission calculation spreadsheets and modeling files (not Adobe PDF files). Without all files and supporting air quality documentation, the SCAQMD will be unable to complete its review of the air quality analysis in a timely manner. Any delays in providing all supporting air quality documentation will require additional time for review beyond the end of the comment period.
Air Quality Analysis The SCAQMD adopted its California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Air Quality Handbook in 1993 to assist other public agencies with the preparation of air quality analyses. The SCAQMD recommends that the Lead Agency use this Handbook as 3-1 guidance when preparing its air quality analysis. Copies of the Handbook are available from the SCAQMD’s Subscription Services Department by calling (909) 396-3720. More recent guidance developed since this Handbook was published is also available on SCAQMD’s website here: http://www.aqmd.gov/home/regulations/ceqa/air-quality-analysis-handbook/ceqa-air- quality-handbook-(1993). SCAQMD staff also recommends that the Lead Agency use the CalEEMod land use emissions software. This software has recently been updated to incorporate up-to-date state and locally approved emission factors and methodologies for estimating pollutant emissions from typical land use development. CalEEMod is the only software model 3-2 maintained by the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) and replaces the now outdated URBEMIS. This model is available free of charge at: www.caleemod.com.
The Lead Agency should identify any potential adverse air quality impacts that could occur from all phases of the project and all air pollutant sources related to the project. Air quality impacts from both construction (including demolition, if any) and operations should be calculated. Construction-related air quality impacts typically include, but are not limited to, emissions 3-3 from the use of heavy-duty equipment from grading, earth-loading/unloading, paving, architectural coatings, off-road mobile sources (e.g., heavy-duty construction equipment) and on-road mobile sources (e.g., construction worker vehicle trips, material transport trips). Operation-related air quality impacts may include, but are not limited to, emissions from stationary sources (e.g., boilers), area sources (e.g., solvents and coatings), and vehicular trips (e.g., on- and off-road tailpipe emissions and entrained dust). Air quality impacts from indirect sources, that is, sources that generate or attract vehicular trips should be included in the analysis.
The SCAQMD has also developed both regional and localized significance thresholds. The SCAQMD staff requests that the 3-4 lead agency quantify criteria pollutant emissions and compare the results to the recommended regional significance thresholds found here: http://www.aqmd.gov/docs/default-source/ceqa/handbook/scaqmd-air-quality-significance-thresholds.pdf. In addition to analyzing regional air quality impacts, the SCAQMD staff recommends calculating localized air quality impacts and comparing the results to localized significance thresholds (LSTs). LSTs can be used in addition to the recommended regional significance thresholds as a second indication of air quality impacts when preparing a Draft EIR document. Therefore, when preparing the air quality analysis for the proposed project, it is recommended that the lead agency perform a localized analysis by either using the LSTs developed by the SCAQMD or performing dispersion modeling as necessary. Guidance for performing a localized air quality analysis can be found at: http://www.aqmd.gov/home/regulations/ceqa/air-quality-analysis- handbook/localized-significance-thresholds. Mr. William Jones -2- November 9, 2016
In the event that the proposed project generates or attracts vehicular trips, especially heavy-duty diesel-fueled vehicles, it is 3-5 recommended that the lead agency perform a mobile source health risk assessment. Guidance for performing a mobile source health risk assessment (“Health Risk Assessment Guidance for Analyzing Cancer Risk from Mobile Source Diesel Idling Emissions for CEQA Air Quality Analysis”) can be found at: http://www.aqmd.gov/home/regulations/ceqa/air-quality-analysis- handbook/mobile-source-toxics-analysis. An analysis of all toxic air contaminant impacts due to the use of equipment potentially generating such air pollutants should also be included.
In addition, guidance on siting incompatible land uses (such as placing homes near freeways) can be found in the California Air 3-6 Resources Board’s Air Quality and Land Use Handbook: A Community Perspective, which can be found at the following internet address: http://www.arb.ca.gov/ch/handbook.pdf. CARB’s Land Use Handbook is a general reference guide for evaluating and reducing air pollution impacts associated with new projects that go through the land use decision-making process.
Finally, should the proposed project include equipment that generates or controls air contaminants, a permit may be required 3-7 and the SCAQMD should be listed as a responsible agency and consulted. The assumptions in the submitted Draft EIR would also be the basis for permit conditions and limits. Permit questions can be directed to the SCAQMD Permit Services staff at (909) 396-3385, who can provide further assistance.
Mitigation Measures In the event that the project generates significant adverse air quality impacts, CEQA requires that all feasible mitigation 3-8 measures that go beyond what is required by law be utilized during project construction and operation to minimize or eliminate these impacts. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15126.4 (a)(1)(D), any impacts resulting from mitigation measures must also be discussed. Mitigation Measure resources are available on the SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Handbook website: http://www.aqmd.gov/home/regulations/ceqa/air-quality-analysis-handbook
Data Sources SCAQMD rules and relevant air quality reports and data are available by calling the SCAQMD’s Public Information Center at (909) 396-2039. Much of the information available through the Public Information Center is also available via the SCAQMD’s webpage (http://www.aqmd.gov).
The SCAQMD staff is available to work with the lead agency to ensure that project emissions are accurately evaluated and mitigated where feasible. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Gordon Mize, Air Quality Specialist by e-mail at [email protected] or by phone at (909) 396-3302.

William Jones
RE: AB52 consultation response for the Los Angeles Trans-Pacific Telecommunications Cable Hub
Dear William, Oct 11, 2016 Please find this letter in response to your request for consultation dated Nov 17, 2016. I have reviewed the project site and do have concerns for cultural resources. Your project lies in an area where the Ancestral territories of the Kizh (Kitc) Gabrieleño’s villages adjoined and overlapped with each other, at least during the Late Prehistoric and Protohistoric Periods. The homeland of the Kizh Gabrieleño was probably the most influential Native American group in aboriginal southern California (Bean and Smith 1978a:538), was centered in the Los Angeles Basin, and reached as far east as the San Bernardino- Riverside area. The homeland of our neighbors the Serranos was primarily the San Bernardino Mountains, including the slopes and lowlands on the north and south flanks. Whatever the linguistic affiliation, Native Americans in and around the project area exhibited similar organization and resource procurement strategies. Villages were based on clan or lineage groups. Their home/ base sites are marked by midden deposits often with bedrock mortars. During their seasonal rounds to exploit plant resources, small groups would migrate within their traditional territory in search of specific plants and animals. Their gathering strategies of ten left behind signs of special use sites, usually grinding slicks on bedrock boulders, at the locations of the resources.
Due to the project location and the high sensitivity of the area location, we would like to request one of our certified Native American Monitor to be on site during any and all ground disturbances (including but not limited to pavement removal, post holing, auguring, boring, grading, excavation and trenching) to protect any cultural resources which may be effected during construction or development. In all cases, when the Native American Heritage 4-1 Commission states there are “no records of sacred sites in the project area” the NAHC will always refer lead agencies to the respective Native American Tribe because the NAHC is only aware of general information and are not the experts on each California Tribe. Our Elder Committee & Tribal Historians are the experts for our Tribe and are able to provide a more complete history (both written and oral) regarding the location of historic villages, trade routes, cemeteries and sacred/religious sites in the project area. While the property may be located in an area that has been previously developed, numerous examples can be shared to show that there still is a possibility that unknown, yet significant, cultural resources will be encountered during ground disturbance activities. Please not e, if they haven’t been listed with the NAHC, it doesn’t mean that they aren’t there. Not everyone reports what they know.
The recent implementation of AB52 dictates that lead agencies consult with Native American Tribes who can prove and document traditional and cultural affiliation with the area of said project in order to protect cultural resources. However, our tribe is connected Ancestrally to this project location area, what does Ancestrally or Ancestral mean? The people who were in your family in past times, Of, belonging to, inherited from, or denoting an ancestor or ancestors http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ancestral. Our priorities are to avoid and protect without delay or conflicts – to consult with you to avoid unnecessary destruction of cultural and biological resources, but also to protect what resources still exist at the project site for the benefit and education of future generations. At your convenience we can Consultation either by Phone or Face to face. Thank you

Appendix C – AQGHG Calculations
C.1 Introduction The following appendix details the methodology used to estimate air and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the proposed Project and applies appropriate thresholds. This includes a discussion of the approach employed to estimate emissions from terrestrial construction equipment and vessels used during construction. Both terrestrial construction equipment and vessels generate emissions from diesel particulate matter (DPM), which is a known carcinogen in California; therefore, the analysis also evaluates the potential health impacts from Project emissions of DPM.
C.2 Terrestrial Construction Emissions Calculation Methodology Emissions from Project terrestrial construction equipment were estimated using the CalEEMod Version 2016.3.1 emissions estimation model. CalEEMod is approved by the California Air Pollution Control Officer’s Association (CAPCOA) and recommended for use by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). CalEEMod calculates emissions from construction activities associated with a project based on its size and land use classification, which for this Project was identified as “light industrial.” Construction emission sources include fugitive dust from earthmoving and ground disturbance, as well as on-road and off-road vehicle exhaust and entrained road dust. Construction equipment usage was based on information provided by the Applicant with some CalEEMod defaults used for equipment horsepower. Equipment usage is estimated for each terrestrial activity associated with the Project, including beach manhole installation, ocean ground bed construction, marine boring installation, terrestrial conduit installation, terrestrial cable pulling, and terrestrial support for the shore-end landing. Assumptions regarding terrestrial equipment used and level of use are provided in Table C-1. CalEEMod produces emissions estimates in terms of tons of criteria pollutant emissions per year. Daily emissions were obtained by dividing the annual emissions for a given activity by the number of days for that activity and converting to pounds. Table C-2, included as an attachment to this appendix, summarizes the annual and daily emissions for each terrestrial construction activity.

C.3 Vessel Emissions Calculation Methodology
C.3.1 Study Area The air quality analysis considers the installation of the marine cable routes within Regulated California Waters (RCW), defined by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as waters within 24 nautical miles (nmi) of the California Baseline (i.e., the coastline and islands) (CARB 2016). In the vicinity of the proposed cable routes, the RCW boundary is approximately 98 nmi from the mainland, and includes approximately 105.8 nmi of the Pacific Light Cable Network (PLCN) marine cable route.
C.3.2 Cable Ship Emissions from vessels were also estimated using equipment type and duration of use. According to CARB (2011), diesel-electric vessels have diesel engine sets that provide power for both auxiliary and propulsion power needs. Therefore, auxiliary engine calculations were not necessary for the cable ship.
C.3.3 Load Factors Load factors for the cable ship were adjusted to appropriately represent auxiliary and propulsion engine power based on ship type and activity mode. The auxiliary to propulsion ratio for cruise ships from Table 2-4 of US EPA (2009) was assumed to be similar to that of the cable ship due to their diesel-electric engines. This ratio was applied to the total power of the cable ship in order to obtain relative propulsion power (7,184 kilowatt [kW]) and auxiliary power (2,766 kW). The cable ship is assumed to have two activity modes: transit and cable laying. During transit, the cable ship is moving between locations at 12 knots or less within RCW. During cable laying, the ship is assumed to have an average lay speed of 1.18 knots, based on the speed and distance that the ship will travel through soft-bottom and hard-bottom areas during the installation and burial of the cable. The propeller law was applied to find the load factor for the propulsion engine.

C.3.4 Emission Factors Emission factors for the cable ship were obtained from Table II-8 of CARB (2011). The cable ship was assumed to run on marine distillate 0.1 percent sulfur content under medium speed. Low- load adjustment factors are not necessary for the cable ship because it is an electric drive ship.
C-3 Los Angeles Trans-Pacific Telecommunications Cable Hub Appendix C Draft EIR [Administrative] AQGHG Calculations
C.3.5 Work Boats and Support Vessels
C.3.5.1 Load Factors The work boats and support vessels are expected to be vessels of opportunity from nearby ports. Given the similarity and proximity of the Project to the Hermosa Beach Transpacific Fiber-Optic Cables Project, this analysis drew upon the conservative assumptions used for work boats in the air quality calculations for the EIR for that project (City of Hermosa Beach 2016). These include a load factor of 0.38 for propulsion engines and 0.32 for auxiliary engines.
C.3.5.2 Emission Factors Emission factors for the work boats were obtained from CARB (2007) for carbon monoxide
(CO), nitrous oxides (NOx), particulate matter with a diameter of 10 microns or less (Respirable)
(PM10), and volatile organic compounds (VOC), and from Port of Los Angeles (2014) for sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4). The deterioration factors were obtained from Port of Los Angeles (2014). The useful life was set to be the same as the age of the engine for the deterioration emission factor adjustments calculations. The emission factors were calculated as:

• g = grams • hp = horsepower • hr = hour • kW = kilowatt
C.3.6 Marine Activities The following assumptions were used for the “main lay” portion of the cable installation (i.e., cable laying and burial from the end of the bore pipe seaward). As discussed in Section C.1.2.1, vessel emissions from the cable installation are calculated for all activities within RCW, which includes 105.8 nmi of the PLCN cable route, and 100 percent of the Trans-Pacific Cable Segment. The analysis includes installation by cable ship of the PLCN cable from the bore pipe exit to the edge of the outer continental shelf (1,200 m water depth). After installing the cable to the edge of the shelf, the ship would turn around and retrace the route back to the bore pipe exit while conducting Post-Lay Inspection and Burial (PLIB). Once it reaches the bore pipe exit, the cable ship would begin the installation of the Trans-Pacific Cable Segment, following the same steps

outlined above, then return to the port where the Marine Mammal Observers (MMOs) would disembark, before returning to sea. The distances traveled during each leg described above are outlined in Table C-4 and Table C-5.

C.4 Calculation of Criteria Pollutant Emissions
C.4.1 Regional Significance Thresholds The SCAQMD California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidance provides Regional Significance Thresholds for seven common criteria pollutants. The thresholds represent the maximum emissions from a project that are not expected to cause or contribute to an exceedance of the most stringent applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. The thresholds are summarized in Table C-7 below.
Table C-7: SCAQMD Regional Emissions Thresholds Emissions Thresholds (pound per day) Pollutant Construction Operation
NOx 100 55 VOC 75 55
PM10 150 150
PM2.5 55 55
SOx 150 150 CO 550 550 Lead 3 3
Source: SCAQMD 2015a Notes:
CO = carbon monoxide; NOx = nitrous oxides; PM2.5 = particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 microns or less (Fine); PM10 = particulate matter with a diameter of 10 microns or less (Respirable); VOC = volatile organic compounds
C.4.2 Overlapping Activities In order to calculate total maximum daily Project emissions for comparison against the regional significance thresholds, a preliminary Project schedule was used to determine potential overlap across construction activities, including the marine and terrestrial components of the Project. Table C-8 summarizes the expected overlapping activities on the highest emission days for each month of Project construction.

Notes: HDD = horizontal directional drilling; PLCN = Pacific Light Cable Network; PLIB = Post-Lay Inspection and Burial 1. Overlapping activities are listed for the day with the highest daily construction emissions
C.4.3 Maximum Daily Emission Calculations Tables C-9 and C-10, respectively, summarize the daily emissions for each construction activity and the combined maximum daily emissions for each month, accounting for the overlap of activities from both terrestrial and marine equipment as outlined in Table C-8 above. Table C-9 and Table C-10 are included as attachments to this appendix. As detailed in Table C-9, only the NOx highest daily maximum emissions are above the SCAQMD threshold.
C.5 Localized Significance Thresholds The SCAQMD (2008) CEQA guidance provides Localized Significance Thresholds (LST) to represent the maximum emissions from a project that are not expected to cause or contribute to an exceedance of the most stringent applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard, and are developed based on the ambient concentrations of that pollutant for each source receptor area and distance to the nearest sensitive receptor. This guidance provides allowable emission rates in look-up tables based on the geographic area (source-receptor area), proximity to receptors, and size of the project as either 1 acre or 2 acres. If project emissions are below these emission rates, the impact would be below the LST. In Southwest Coastal Los Angeles County, the LSTs for a 1-acre construction project located 25 meters from a sensitive receptor are as follows:
• NOx = 91 pounds per day (lb/day) • CO = 664 lb/day • PM10 = 5 lb/day • PM2.5 = 3 lb/day
C-7 Los Angeles Trans-Pacific Telecommunications Cable Hub Appendix C Draft EIR [Administrative] AQGHG Calculations
The SCAQMD LST analysis is suggested only for emissions sources located within 500 meters of a receptor. Construction and installation of the terrestrial conduit and terrestrial cable pulling would be the only Project activities to take place within this distance of sensitive receptors. Table C-2 provides estimated emissions (lb/day) for the above pollutants for each Project activity.
C.6 Health Risk Screening Methodology A risk screening assessment of potential health risks from DPM emitted by construction equipment was conducted according to guidance in SCAQMD (2015b). A Tier 1 risk screening assessment involves comparing expected project emissions to screening thresholds defined by the distance to the nearest receptors. Terrestrial cable pulling and terrestrial conduit installation are the only two Project activities that would take place in the vicinity of sensitive receptors, as defined by SCAQMD. The sum of annual emissions from these two activities, estimated at 83 lb/year, exceeds the DPM Tier 1 screening emission level of 0.00514 lb/year (see Table C-11).
Table C-11: Tier 1 Risk Screening Assessment
Exh PM10 No. Days in (or DPM) 2018 (lb / year) Terrestrial Cable Pulling 6 0.001
Terrestrial Conduit Installation (Trenching) 130 0.041
Total DPM Emissions N/A 82.96
Tier 1 Level Screening Threshold: Emissions within 25 meters N/A 0.00514 of a Receptor
Exceeds Tier 1 Level? Yes
Notes:
DPM = diesel particulate matter; PM10 = particulate matter with a diameter of 10 microns or less (Respirable); lb = pound
Since annual emissions exceed the Tier 1 screening level, a Tier 2 risk assessment was conducted. The Tier 2 risk screening calculates Maximum Individual Cancer Risk (MICR) and Chronic HI values based on the annual DPM emissions from the project activity and the presence of nearby sensitive receptors. The sensitive receptors located within 25 meters of the project emissions are residents; therefore, the MICR for workers was not calculated. An acute HI calculation was not necessary because there is no acute reference exposure level (REL) value for DPM. The SCAQMD guidance provides look-up tables for values presented in the equations below, based on the size of activity and proximity to sensitive receptors. The look-up tables are provided in Attachment M of the SCAQMD risk assessment procedures (SCAQMD 2016).

C-10 Los Angeles Trans-Pacific Telecommunications Cable Hub Appendix C Draft EIR [Administrative] AQGHG Calculations
As discussed above, a Tier 2 risk screening assessment was conducted for the terrestrial conduit installation and terrestrial cable pulling activities. Due to the linear progression of these activities, DPM would be emitted near sensitive receptors only on the day that work is being done on a given 500-foot segment of conduit. Thus, the daily emissions for a segment were used
to represent the Qtpy in the risk calculation above. Project activities at the landing site including HDD of the marine directional bores, installation of the ocean ground bed, beach manhole, and marine cable pulling would take place at Dockweiler State Beach Parking Lot 3, which is located more than one mile from sensitive receptors. Therefore, a risk screening analysis was not undertaken for these activities.
C.7 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Table C-13 details expected GHG emissions from the Project, by activity. According to the SCAQMD CEQA guidelines, GHG emissions exceeding 10,000 metric tons per year would be considered significant. Project emissions would be below the GHG threshold.

Notes: 1. Operational emissions estimate represents one marine cable burial verification survey for the PLCN cable and Trans-Pacific Cable Segment, undertaken 5 years after cable installation.

Comments/Assumptions: Assumptions for working hours and number of days per activity were based on information provided by the Applicant and from similar projects (City of Hermosa Beach 2016, CSLC 2008).
Assumptions: Cable Ship Emissions The duration of cable lay activities and transit for the cable ship were calculated by ‘leg’, using the estimated durations of work provided by the Applicant and cross-checked with similar projects for reference. Emission calculations for the cable ship assume that the ship is traveling at 9 knots when transiting (i.e. moving but not laying cable) inside the study area, which aligns with the Precautionary Zone (PZ). The average speed of ships within the PZ is 9 knots (Port of Los Angeles 2014); this was also the speed assumed for transit of the cable ship in the EIR for the recent SEA-1 installation (City of Hermosa Beach 2016). Per Port of Los Angeles 2014, the propulsion engine Maximum Continuous Rated Power (MCR) diesel-electric ships is the combined rated electric propulsion motor rating. According to CARB 2011, diesel-electric vessels have diesel engine sets that provide power for both auxiliary and propulsion power needs. Low Load Adjustment factors were not used because the cable ship is an electric drive ship. Emission Factors were based on the assumption that the cable ship runs at medium engine speed with Marine Distillate 0.1% Sulfur fuel from Table II-8 of CARB 2011. The distance traveled from Port of LA to bore pipe exit was estimated using Google Earth
Assumptions: Work Boats and Support Vessel Emissions All activities requiring work boats or support vessels were assumed to use boats with similar specifications as the work boat from City of Hermosa Beach 2016 since it would output the most conservative values. The boat used for HDD monitoring was assumed to be a smaller dive boat. Hours per day for propulsion engines represents time spent transiting to and from the site, since the main engine is primarily used to propel the boat at sea. For simplicity, hours per day for auxiliary engines is assumed to represent time spent on-site (i.e. everything other than transiting). for Emission Factors. for CO, NOx, PM10 and VOC can be found in CARB 2007. Emission Factors for SO2, CO2 and CH4 can be found in Port of Los Angeles 2014b. Engine deterioration factors are based on Port of Los Angeles 2014a. The cumulative hours at the end of useful life was set to be equal to the age of the engine. Assumes that the cable ship has the same Load Factor. during the cable pulling activity (or "stationing") and transit, per City of Hermosa Beach 2016. Assumes that the cable ship has the same Load Factor during PLIB and cable laying per City of Hermosa Beach 2016. For the HDD monitoring activity, assumes two port calls for shift changes – approximately 1 hour each way - 20 hours monitoring (auxiliary mode). A float chaser boat would be used for 12 hours or less on the day of the landing. As a zodiac craft that is not equivalent to an extra vessel. This has not been included in the calculations.
Conversion/Definition: 1 brake horsepower = 0.7457 kilowatts NOx = nitrous oxides 1 km = 0.53995 nm PM10 = particulate matter with a diameter of 10 microns or less (Respirable) CO = carbon monoxide PM2.5 = particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 microns or less (Fine) CO2 = carbon dioxide SO2 = sulfur dioxide CO2e = carbon dioxide equivalent Transit: emissions from vessel operations between ports CH4 = methane VOC = volatile organic compounds lb/day = pound per day Maneuver: slow speed vessel operations while in-port areas

Appendix MBIO-B Appendix F NOISE CALCULATIONS -Page Intentionally Left Blank- Los Angeles Trans-Pacific Telecommunications Cable Hub Appendix F Draft EIR [Administrative] Noise Calculations
Appendix F – Noise Calculations
F.1 Introduction This document provides information on the methodology and calculations used to estimate noise and vibration impacts of the proposed Project.
F.2 Noise Several of the significance criteria used to assess the degree of impact from noise utilize information on background noise levels in the Project area. Background noise levels were based on data provided by the Los Angeles World Airways (LAWA) (Dan Yeung, Pers. Comm., November 18, 2016). The LAWA data summarize Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) in the Project area; however, the significance thresholds are based on short-term noise levels (assumed to be hourly). Appendix D from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment (FTA 2006) (FTA Guidelines) provides a method to derive rough estimates of hourly noise levels based on CNEL: For measurements between 7am and 7pm the FTA Guidelines specifies the following equation:
2 (Equation 1)
Where:
Leq: Hourly equivalent A-weighted noise level D: Actual distance to receptor
Ldn: Day-night average noise level
In Equation 1, Ldn is assumed to be the same as A-weighted decibel level (dBA) CNEL. This equation states that Leq can be estimated to be roughly 2 dBA higher than the CNEL during the day time hours. Alternatively, Table 5-7 of the FTA Guidelines also provides general noise levels from different types of roadways and populations. This table generally assumes that the Ldn is approximately equal to the daytime Leq. Thus, for the purposes of this analysis, using the more conservative approach, it is assumed that the background Leq in the Project area would be equal to the CNEL provided by LAWA. The noise level for each piece of construction equipment was estimated using the FTA Guidelines (Table F-1 and Table F-2). These estimates generally require the use of reference noise levels for each piece of equipment at 50 feet. Reference noise levels were obtained from Table 12-1 of the FTA Guidelines (FTA 2006) and Table 9-1 of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Construction Noise Handbook (FHWA 2016).
F-1 Los Angeles Trans-Pacific Telecommunications Cable Hub Appendix F Draft EIR [Administrative] Noise Calculations
At any one time, more than one piece of equipment may be used; therefore, the combined noise level needs to be estimated. The equation below is used to estimate noise from multiple sources.
10log 10 10 ⋯ (Equation 2)
To account for noise impacts at different distances, the equation listed below from the FTA Guidelines for stationary sources can be used to convert a reference noise level at 50 feet to a noise level at a desired distance.
20log (Equation 3)
Where:
Leq: Noise Level D: Actual distance to receptor
Leq(ref): Noise Level at reference distance (50 feet)
Dref: Reference Distance (50 feet)
The above equation assumes a hard ground surface between the equipment and receptor, which would result in conservatively higher noise estimates. This represents a conservative estimate, since sections of the Project area consist of sand, soil, and grass, which would reduce noise levels more than estimated in Equation 3. In some cases, noise attenuation from rows of buildings between the noise source and receptor is accounted for in the analysis. In those cases, the following assumptions are made, which are consistent with the FTA Guidelines:
First row of buildings: -4 dBA -1.5 dBA for every other row of buildings up to a maximum of 10 dBA
In addition, it is assumed that all construction equipment is located at the same distance from a sensitive receptor. As recommended in the FTA Guidelines for general assessments, the two noisiest equipment are assumed operating at the same time. The combined background noise and Project impact noise level can be calculated using Equation 2 above. The increase above the background noise level as a result of the Project can then be determined using the following equation.
(Equation 4)
Tables F-3 and F-4 provide the noise level estimates for the terrestrial conduit route and the cable landing site, respectively.
F-2 Los Angeles Trans-Pacific Telecommunications Cable Hub Appendix F Draft EIR [Administrative] Noise Calculations
F.3 Vibration Short-term vibration impacts were also estimated using the FTA Guidelines (FTA 2006). Typically, the vibration impact of most concern during construction is damage to buildings. The vibration levels associated with damage to buildings are characterized in terms of the following two descriptors.
Peak particle velocity (PPV) with units of inch per second (in/sec) Vibration Level (Lv) with units of VdB
The following equation can be used to estimate the PPV.
1.5 ( PPVequip=PPVref x (25/D) Equation 5)
Where:
PPVequip : Peak particle velocity at selected distance D: Actual distance to receptor
PPVref: PPV at reference distance (25 feet)
Similarly, the following equation can be used to estimate Lv.
Lv = Lr-30Log(D/25) (Equation 6)
Where:
Lv: Vibration level at selected distance D: Actual distance to receptor
Lr : Vibration at reference distance (25 feet)
The reference vibration levels for various equipment were taken from Table 12-2 of the FTA Guidelines (FTA 2006). Vibration levels from the equipment generating the highest vibration level were calculated. Table F-5 provides the estimated vibration levels associated with the Project.
F.4 Results Tables F-1 though F-5 provide additional detail on the estimated noise levels generated by Project equipment and the final estimates of noise and vibration levels associated with Project activities.
