Dear Ms. Ervin,
ALAMEDA COUNTY

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (Air District) submitted comments dated
Pauline Russo Cutter
Scott Haggerty
September 17, 2018 to the City of Petaluma on the prior Health Risk Assessment (HRA)
Nate Miley
done by Illingworth & Rodkin on the proposed Safeway Fuel Center Project ("project").
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
Pursuant to your recent request, Air District staff have reviewed the HRA conducted by
John Gioia
Phyllis Fox and Ray Kapahi (Fox/Kapahi HRA) and the subsequent October 10, 2018
David Hudson
(Chair)
updated HRA conducted by Illingworth & Rodkin.
Karen Mitchoff
Mark Ross
The Air District has several key concerns regarding the Fox/Kapahi HRA. Fox/Kapahi's use
MARIN COUNTY
of Santa Rosa meteorological data is not appropriate for this project because the wind

(Vice Chair)
Patterns are not consistent with the project area. The gasoline dispensing facility benzene
emission factor used for the Fox/Kapahi HRA is substantially higher than the Air District's
NAPA COUNTY
Brad Wagenknecht
standard benzene emission factor for gasoline dispensing facilities. The residential

exposure assumptions used in the Fox/Kapahi HRA are not consistent with the Air

District's current HRA risk calculation procedures.
Hillary Ronen
Tyrone Jue
(SF Mayor's Appointee)
Air District staff find that the October 10, 2018 updated HRA conducted by Illingworth &
Rodkin is acceptable and has resolved our concerns from the September 17, 2018 letter.
SAN MATEO COUNTY
David Canepa
The Air District has no further comments on this updated HRA.
Carole Groom
Doug Kim
The project includes a gas station configuration that differs from the configuration
SANTA CLARA COUNTY
approved in the Air District's current Authority to Construct for this gas station. Safeway
Margaret Abe-Koga
Cindy Chavez
must apply for Air District permit revisions to ensure that their Air District permit is

consistent with this described project.
