<p>The development of a new high school/middle school in the recently-approved Laguna Ridge Specific Plan area required performance of air quality analysis under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project included analysis examining whether long-term operation of school buses associated with the proposed project could result in the exposure of sensitive receptors (i.e., school children, teachers, parents, and nearby residents) to unhealthful exhaust emissions, taking into account California Air Resources Board&rsquo;s (CARB&rsquo;s) recently-adopted air toxic control measure for school buses. Additionally, it was identified that the closest stationary source of toxic airborne contaminants (TACs) and determined that it would not be anticipated to expose the school to TAC emissions that exceed the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District&rsquo;s (SMAQMD&rsquo;s) significance thresholds because it is located more than &frac14; mile from the proposed school site. Investigation of whether persons at the school would be exposed to objectionable odors from a water treatment plant planned adjacent to the southeast corner of the project site was also conducted. Furthermore, the analysis presented estimated emissions of criteria air pollutants from both project construction and project operations. The air quality section examined the project&rsquo;s consistency with the policies established in the City of Elk Grove General Plan Air Quality Element and the Laguna Ridge Specific Plan.&nbsp;</p>
