whether a project would violate an air quality standard or result in an increase of any criteria air pollutant. these thresholds were generally lower and said to be consistent with federal air quality standards. given the changes, it's anticipated that generally speaking, only the larger project will result in significant impact. the main change made to the threshold is that the air district has now also applied these thresholds to project construction activities, whereas the 1999 guidelines stated that individual projects can not quantify construction emissions, the 2010 threshold specifically requires analysis. you will notice that projects using the 2010 significant threshold will include a calculation of construction air pollutant emissions, and in some cases those would be considered significant. as with health risks, it's unclear how quickly clean construction technology london breed available. unlike the air district's health risks and greenhouse gas thresholds, there is no option for air pollutants, so if san francisco is successful with its greenhouse gas strategy, some larg

the air quality was last updated 1999 and this is necessary to address new air quality concerns over the last ten years, as you have noticed, a number of ceqa documents have passed through what we call a dual analysis, meaning an analysis affecting air quality using old guidelines, as well as using the new 2010 guidelines. overall, you will notice that more projects using the 2010 significant thresholds will show significant air quality impact and you will also notice there will be more instances where this impact is significant and unavoidable, mostly due to mitigation strategies. there is some concern that the new threshold could have unintended consequences, and that otherwise desirable in-fill project could become more challenging with some projects being pushed outside of the city. this will also address how the planning department intends to meet the environmental goals through a systemic city wide approach that addresses our air quality concerns and doesn't display in fill development. i will begin with greenhouse gas emissions. this is something we have been doing in the plan

very bad air. a spare the air day because there a lot of bad particulates. a bit of an onshore breeze. the air will be very stagnant. things have cooled down. 50 degrees in napa. 64 in hayward. 58 degrees in sunnyvale and 53 in gilroy. at noon, most of us will be feeling temperatures in the 80s and 90s. unless you are along the area beaches, 93 degrees in concord and in livermore and nor o in fairfield. that's where we see the heat is on. 101 in concord and 101 in livermore and 103 in fairfield. a very hot day is forecasted, but thankfully it will be the hottest day of the week and things start to cool down and we will see more reasonable temperatures. 98 degrees in san jose. things are cooling down as we get more of an onshore flow coming our way. wow! >> just ahead, new hope that the uc berkeley grads held captive in iran might be freed. the stepped up patrols to keep school kids safe. where police will be targeting.
