Dear Mr. Brown:

EI Camino Community College

The County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (Districts) received a Notice ofPreparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Report for the subject project on September 6, 2012. Theproposed development is located within the jurisdictional boundaries of District No.5. We offer thefollowing comments regarding sewerage service:

1. Th~ wastewater flow originating from the proposed project will discharge to a local sewer line,which is not maintained by the Districts, for conveyance to the Districts' Moneta ExtensionSection 1 Trunk Sewer, located in Van Ness Avenue at 1641h Street. This 24-inch diameter trunksewer has a design capacity of 2.9 million gallons per day (mgd) and conveyed a peak flow of2.5 mgd when last measured in 2011.

2. The wastewater generated by the proposed project will be treated at the Joint Water PollutionControl Plant located in the City of Carson, which has a design capacity of 400 mgd and currentlyprocesses an average flow of265.4 mgd.

3. The expected increase in average wastewater flow from the project site is 36,020 gallons per day.-------+F'ftof-[ -flaHOOj3y-of--the-I}i-stfi..€ts-~-·awHl-g~t~r--get-l~.atioo-f~~W-wwwJacsd ..(Jrg,

4. The Districts are authorized by the California Health and Safety Code to charge a fee for theprivilege of connecting (directly or indirectly) to the Districts' Sewerage System or increasing thestrength or quantity of wastewater attributable to a particular parcel or operation alreadyconnected. This connection fee is a capital facilities fee that is imposed in an amount sufficient toconstruct an incremental expansion of the Sewerage System to accommodate the proposedproject. Payment of a connection fee will be required before a permit to connect to the sewer is

. issued. For acopy of the Connection Fee Information Sheet, go to www.lacsd.org, Wastewater &Sewer Systems, Will Serve Program, and click on the appropriate link. For more specific

Mr. ThomasBrown -2- October 5, 2012

information regarding the connection fee application procedure and fees, please contact theConnection Fee Counter at extension 2727.

5. In order for the Districts to conform to the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA), thedesign capacities of the Districts' wastewater treatment facilities are based on the regional growthforecast adopted by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). Specificpolicies included in the development of the SCAG regional growth forecast are incorporated intoclean air plans, which are prepared by the South Coast and Antelope Valley Air QualityManagement Districts in order to improve air quality in the South Coast and Mojave Desert AirBasins as mandated by the CAA. All expansions of Districts' facilities must be sized and servicephased in a manner that will be consistent with the SCAG regional growth forecast for thecounties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura, and Imperial. Theavailable capacity of the Districts' treatment facilities will, therefore, be limited to levelsassociated with the approved growth identified by SCAG. As such, this letter does not constitutea guarantee of wastewater service, but is to advise you that the Districts intend to provide thisservice up to the levels that are legally permitted and to inform you of the currently existingcapacity and any proposed expansion of the Districts' facilities.

If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned at (562) 908-4288, extension 2717.

Very truly yours,

Grace Robinson Chan

Notice of Preparation of a CEQA Document for the2012 Facilities Master Plan EI Camino College

The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the above-mentioned document. The SCAQMD's comments are recommendations regarding the analysis of potential air qualityimpacts from the proposed project that should be included in the draft CEQA document. Please send the SCAQMD acopy of the Draft EIR upon its completion. Note that copies of the Draft EIR that are submitted to the StateClearinghouse are not forwarded to the SCAQMD. Please forward a copy ofthe Draft EIR directly to SCAQMD atthe address in our letterhead. In addition, please send with the draft EIR all appendices or technical documentsrelated to the air quality and greenhouse gas analyses and electronic versions of all air quality modeling andhealth risk assessment files. These include original emission calculation spreadsheets and modeling files (notAdobe PDF files). Without all files and supporting air quality documentation, the SCAQMD will be unable tocomplete its review of the air quality analysis in a timely manner. Any delays in providing all supporting airquality documentation will require additional time for review beyond the end of the comment period.

Air Quality AnalysisThe SCAQMD adopted its California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Air Quality Handbook in 1993 to assistother public agencies with the preparation of air quality analyses. The SCAQMD recommends that the Lead Agencyuse this Handbook as guidance when preparing its air quality analysis. Copies of the Handbook are available from theSCAQMD's Subscription Services Department by calling (909) 396-3720. The lead agency may wish to considerusing land use emissions estimating software such as the recently released CalEEMod. This model is available on theSCAQMD Website at: http://www.agmd.gov/ceqa/models.html.

The Lead Agency should identify any potential adverse air quality impacts that could occur from all phases of the-}3rejee-t-and-a-H-air-pelffitant-seurees-relate6--te--tfle-}3rejee-h-Ai:H)ua-i-i-tyimpaets-frem-beth-e-oo-strue-ti-oo-(ffiell:lcli-ng-

demolition, if any) and operations should be calculated. Construction-related air quality impacts typically include, butare not limited to, emissions 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), andvehicular 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 developed a methodology for calculating PM2.S emissions from construction and operationalactivities and processes. In connection with developing PM2.S calculation methodologies, the SCAQMD has alsodeveloped both regional and localized significance thresholds. The SCAQMD requests that the lead agency quantifyPM2.S emissions and compare the results to the recommended PM2.5 significance thresholds. Guidance forcalculating PM2.S emissions and PM2.S significance thresholds can be found at the following internet address:http://www.aqrnd.gov/ceqalhandbooklPM2 5/PM2 5.html.

Thomas Brown -2- October 3,2012

In addition to analyzing regional air quality impacts the SCAQ1vID recommends calculating localized air qualityimpacts and comparing the results to localized significance thresholds (LSTs). LST's can be used in addition to therecommended regional significance thresholds as a second indication of air quality impacts when preparing a CEQAdocument. Therefore, when preparing the air quality analysis for the proposed project, it is recommended that the leadagency perform a localized significance analysis by either using the LSTs developed by the SCAQ1vID or performingdispersion modeling as necessary. Guidance for performing a localized air quality analysis can be found athttp://www.agmd.gov/cegaihandbookiLSTILST.html.

In the event that the proposed project generates or attracts vehicular trips, especially heavy-duty diesel-fueled vehicles,it is recommended that the lead agency perform a mobile source health risk assessment. Guidance for performing amobile source health risk assessment ("Health Risk Assessment Guidance for Analyzing Cancer Risk from MobileSource Diesel Idling Emissions for CEQA Air Quality Analysis") can be found on the SCAQ1vID's CEQA web pagesat the following internet address: http://www.agmd.gov/cegalhandbooklmobile toxic/mobile toxic.html. An analysisof all toxic air contaminant impacts due to the decommissioning or use of equipment potentially generating such airpollutants should also be included.

Mitigation MeasuresIn the event that the project generates significant adverse air quality impacts, CEQA requires that all feasiblemitigation measures that go beyond what is required by law be utilized during project construction and operation tominimize or eliminate significant adverse air quality impacts. To assist the Lead Agency with identifying possiblemitigation measures for the project, please refer to Chapter 11 of the SCAQ1vIDCEQA Air Quality Handbook forsample air quality mitigation measures. Additional mitigation measures can be found on the SCAQMD's CEQA webpages at the following internet address: www.agmd.gov/cegalhandbookimitigationlMM intro.htrnl Additionally,SCAQ1vID's Rule 403 - Fugitive Dust, and the Implementation Handbook contain numerous measures for controllingconstruction-related emissions that should be considered for use as CEQA mitigation if not otherwise required. Othermeasures to reduce air quality impacts from land use projects can be found in the SCAQMD's Guidance Document forAddressing Air Quality Issues in General Plans and Local Planning. This document can be found at the followinginternet address: http://www.agmd.gov/prdas/agguide/aqguide.html.Inaddition.guidance on siting incompatible landuses can be found in the California Air Resources Board's Air Quality and Land Use Handbook: A CommunityPerspective, which can be found at the following internet address: http://www.arb.ca.gov/chlhandbook.pdf. CARB'sLand Use Handbook is a general reference guide for evaluating and reducing air pollution impacts associated with newprojects that go through the land use decision-making process. Pursuant to state CEQA Guidelines §15126.4(a)(l)(D), any impacts resulting from mitigation measures must also be discussed.

Data SourcesSCAQ1vID rules and relevant air quality reports and data are available by calling the SCAQMD's Public InformationCenter at (909) 396-2039. Much of the information available through the Public Information Center is also availablevia the SCAQMD's World Wide Web Homepage (http://www.agmd.gov).
