BRADY, CITY MANAGER DATE: JANUARY 18, 2011 SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2010 -07: A REQUEST TO ESTABLISH AND OPERATE AN ANIMAL CREMATORY FACILITY WITHIN AN EXISTING INDUSTRIAL BUILDING. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 18345 PASADENA STREET (APN: 377 - 130 -049) APPLICANT: SARIT DHUPA, PEACEFUL PAWS LLC,1042 N. EL CAMINO REAL #13-205, ENCINITAS, CA 92024 OWNER: PROVIDENT BANK, 3576 CENTRAL AVENUE, RIVERSIDE, CA 92506 Project Request The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to establish and operate an animal crematory facility within an existing industrial building in the middle of a light industrial park located at 18345 Pasadena Street (APN: 377 -130 -049). The subject property has a zoning designation of Limited Manufacturing (M -1) and a General Plan designation of Light Industrial (LI). Project review is pursuant to Chapter 17.168 (Conditional Use Permits), Chapter 17.136 (Limited Manufacturing District) and Chapter 17.148 (Parking Requirements) of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC). Background The applicant currently operates the Peaceful Paws Animal Crematory facility (located at 29360 Hunco Way). This existing facility is also within an M -1 zoning district. PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 1 of 102 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2010 -07 JANUARY 18, 2011 PAGE 2OF6 Animal crematory facilities are not listed as a permitted use within the Limited Manufacturing (M -1) zoning district. In fact, the following excerpt from Section 17.136.020 (Permitted Uses) specifically identifies the incineration of dead animals as a use that is not intended to be a permitted use: "For the purpose of clarification, industries which are involved with the following operations or processes ...are not intended to be deemed as permitted uses in keeping with the purpose of the M -1 district:... ... 2. Operations which involve or resemble: large blast, cupola or metal furnaces; coke ovens; dehydrators; distillation of bone; fat rendering, garbage; offal or dead animal disposal or reduction; incineration; reduction or dumping of offal, ... Animal crematory facilities are also not listed as a conditionally permitted use within the Limited Manufacturing (M -1) zoning district. However, Section 17.136.030 (M) provides that the Planning Commission may determine other, non - listed uses are suitable in the M -1 zoning district: "Other uses that the Planning Commission finds by resolution to be in accord with the purpose of this chapter and having characteristics similar to those uses listed in this section. A list of these uses shall be maintained in the Planning Division for future reference." With respect to the existing facility on Hunco Way, in October of 2005, the Planning Commission determined that that the animal crematory was in accord with the purpose of the M -1 zoning district and granted a CUP for that location. No complaints or Code Violations have been noted by the City's Code Enforcement Division in association with the applicant's existing crematory facility. The applicant wishes to relocate to a larger facility and seeks a CUP for this new location. The larger facility will result in greater operational efficiency and allow for future growth in business. The single -story 5,673 square -foot building proposed to house the new facility is fully developed and is located within the middle of an existing light industrial park consisting of approximately twelve (12) buildings. On January 13, 2011, the City received correspondence and documentation from an attorney representing adjacent property owners within the industrial park stating that the park is subject to CC &R's that specifically prohibit the incineration of animals. A copy of the correspondence and relevant excerpt from the CC &R's recorded in 1986 are attached (Attachment No. 6). The applicant has been notified of the opposition and has stated that the CC &R's did not appear on the preliminary title report for the subject property. City staff is seeking to confirm that the subject property is in fact subject to the CC &R's as described in the recorded legal description and will provide an update to the Commission at the January 18 public hearing. PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 2 of 102 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2010 -07 JANUARY 18, 2011 PAGE 3OF6 Setting LOCAgTT N (� < EXISTING Z G N '� LAN u -_, t �.,��;�'ry.

Animal's cremated onsite will generally consist of dogs and cats with an occasional pocket pet or bird. However, the applicant indicates that cremations of horses may occur in the future. The remains of privately owned pets are typically returned to the owner upon cremation while the remains of other animals will be sent out to sea. Pet owners do not typically come to the facility unless there are special circumstances. No memorial services are held onsite. The proposed project generally serves as an interior tenant improvement with the exception of three (3) proposed exterior roof mounted ventilation stacks. The applicant's project plans indicate that the ventilation stacks will not be visible from the surrounding area. Project floor plans indicate that the facility will include a reception area, offices, three (3) cremation units and storage coolers. The cremation units will be relocated from the existing facility on Hunco Way. The facility will operate 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday thru Friday and on an as needed basis on weekends. On average, twenty pets will be cremated daily. Air Quality All cremation equipment associated with the facility shall be located within the interior of the existing building with the exception of three roof mounted vent stacks which are used to emit particulate matter and exhaust gasses. The particulate matter and exhaust gasses are emitted from the facility for a maximum of three hours per business day. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) regulates crematory facilities and monitors the facility so as to ensure that the emissions and odors from the facility comply with adopted air quality standards. In order to ensure compliance with air quality provisions, the District PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 3 of 102 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2010 -07 JANUARY 18, 2011 PAGE 4 OF 6 required that the applicant have an Air Quality and Climate Change Analysis prepared as well as a Screening Air Toxic Health Risk Assessment. Both documents were completed by Urban Crossroads, dated November 5, 2010. (See Attachment Nos. 2 & 3) The project and associated studies were "evaluated to determine if the use will violate an air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation ". The SCAQMD has concluded that the proposed crematory facility will not exceed SCAQMD thresholds or conflict with any adopted Air Quality Management Plan and no mitigation measures are required. The analysis also evaluated potential objectionable odors associated with the use. It was determined that odors will be less than significant as the operation of the crematory units will be subject to compliance with SCAQMD permit requirements. However, is it unknown whether the facility will be completely free of odor. Onsite Parking The project site plan indicates that a total of seventeen (17) parking spaces, including two (2) accessible parking spaces, currently exist adjacent to the building within the industrial park that are assigned to this specific building. A maximum of nine (9) employees will operate the facility at any one time. Four company vehicles used to transport the animals to the facility shall be parked at the rear of the facility within the existing gated yard which includes the onsite loading area. Lake Elsinore Municipal Code Section 17.148.030.C. requires a minimum of twelve (12) parking spaces in association with the building. Based on the facility's operational statement, staff believes that sufficient parking is available onsite to serve the proposed use. Analysis Section 17.168.060 of the LEMC requires the Commission to make the following six mandatory findings before granting a conditional use permit: "A. That the proposed use, on its own merits and within the context of its setting, is in accord with the objectives of the General Plan and the purpose of the planning district in which the site is located. B. That the proposed use will not be detrimental to the general health, safety, comfort, or general welfare of persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed use or the City, or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood or the City. C. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, and for all the yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping, buffers and other features required by this title. D. That the site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways with proper design both as to width and type of pavement to carry the type and quantity of traffic generated by PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 4 of 102 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2010-07 JANUARY 18, 2011 PAGE 5 OF 6 the subject use. E. That in approving the subject use at the specific location, there will be no adverse effect on abutting property or the permitted and normal use thereof. F. That adequate conditions and safeguards pursuant to LEMC 17.168.050 have been incorporated into the approval of the conditional use permit to ensure that the use continues in a manner envisioned by these findings for the term of the use." Because the proposed use may be in violation of a CC &R's restriction, Staff is concerned that the proposed use may adversely affect abutting property or the permitted and normal use thereof in contradiction to findings "B" and "E" above, as those property owners are entitled to rely on the restrictions set forth in the CC &R's. As noted above, the issue of whether the proposed location is subject to the CC &R's has not been resolved at the time of preparing this report. Environmental Determination Until the issue related to the C'C &R's is resolved, an environmental determination cannot be made. Only if the Planning Commission determines that the proposed crematory use is a conditionally permitted land use in accordance with the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance and makes additional findings could the Project be found to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000 et seq.: "CEQK) and the CEQA Guidelines (14 C.C.R. §§ 15000 et seq.), specifically pursuant to Section 15332 (In -Fill Development Projects). The exemption determination would also require findings that the proposed site improvements are in compliance with the City's development standards; the project is located within an existing industrial unit within the interior of an existing light industrial park; the site does not have value for endangered, rare or threatened species habitat; the proposed land use and site improvements are subject to development standards and conditions to ensure that the proposal will not have a significant effect on traffic, noise, air quality, and water quality; and existing public utilities and services are available to service the building, Finally, a finding that there are no unusual circumstances that would require further environmental review would also be required. Recommendation a. If it is determined that the CC &R's govern the subject property, staff recommends that the Commission deny Conditional Use Permit No. 2010 -07 for the establishment and operation of an animal crematory facility within an existing industrial building. PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 5 of 102 CONDITIONAL USE JANUARY 18, 2011 PAGE 6 OF 6 PERMIT NO. 2010-07 b. If it is determined that the CC &R's do not govern the subject property, staff recommends that the Commission consider all of the evidence presented in the staff report and during the public hearing to evaluate whether the findings necessary to approve the CUP and environmental determination are justified.

The existing project site is currently located at 29360 Hunco Way, Unit A, in the City of Lake Elsiniore. The existing use is proposing a relocation to 18345 Pasadena Street and is situated within an existing industrial complex. The 5,673 square foot facility will be designed to accommodate the existing three (3) cremation units suitable for processing a maximum of 25,000 pounds of pet remains per month. The facility will continue to operate 12 hours per day, 7 days per week. The cremation units utilize natural gas to produce heat and flame in a manner which consumes soft tissue and retains dry bone fragments. Inherently, exhaust gases and related air contaminants (criteria air pollutants) are emitted from the combustion process. Specifically, this air quality analysis will evaluate the potential air quality impacts associated with the operations of the project at the proposed location. Additionally, the analysis will also consider emissions of greenhouse gases resulting from project operations. 1.2 Summary of Findings The results of the analysis indicate that during short-term construction, emissions are not expected to exceed regional or localized pollutant thresholds established by the SCAQMD. For long -term operational activities, the results of the analysis indicate that emissions are not expected to exceed regional or localized pollutant thresholds established by the SCAQMD. The results of the analysis support the following conclusions: Peaceful Paws Crematorium Air Quality & Climate Change Analysis URBAN City of Lake Elsinore, CA(JN.07566 -02 AQ_GCC Report.doc) cROSSRo^Ds 1 PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 13 of 102 • The project is in compliance with the SCAQMD's 2007 Air Quality Management Plan; • The project - generated emissions do not have the potential to violate Federal or State ambient air quality standards; • The project's contribution to cumulative impacts is not cumulatively considerable; • The project is not expected to expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations; • Project - generated odors will not affect a substantial number of people; and • The project is not expected to result in a significant impact on global climate change. 1.3 Standard Regulatory Requirements The project is subject to SCAQMD Rule 402 (Nuisance Rule) and the equipment is subject to permitting requirements of the SCAQMD prior to use of equipment. 1.4 Construction Activity Recommended Mitigation Measures Based on discussion with the project applicant, no heavy duty construction is required and only minor tenant improvements may occur at the proposed project site. Therefore impacts associated with construction activity are deemed less than significant, thus mitigation is not required. 1.5 Operational Activity Recommended Mitigation Measures Project - related operational emissions will not exceed SCAQMD regional or localized emissions thresholds, thus mitigation is not required. Additionally, the proposed project is required to comply with Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations.

The SCAQMD was created by the 1977 Lewis - Presley Air Quality Management Act, which merged four county air pollution control bodies into one regional district. Under the Act, the SCAQMD is responsible for bringing air quality in areas under its jurisdiction into conformity with federal and state air quality standards. The SCAQMD has jurisdiction over an area of approximately 10,743 square miles, consisting of the four - county Basin (Orange County and the non -desert portions of Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties), and the Riverside County portions of the Salton Sea Air Basin and Mojave Desert Air Basin. The Basin is bound by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the San Gabriel, San Bernardino, and San Jacinto Mountains to the north and east. The Los Angeles County portion of the Mojave Desert Air Basin is bound by the San Gabriel Mountains to the south and west, the Los Angeles / Kern County border to the north, and the Los Angeles / San Bernardino County border to the east. The Riverside County portion of the Salton Sea Air Basin is bound by the San Jacinto Mountains in the west and spans eastward up to the Palo Verde Valley. The federal non- attainment area (known as the Coachella Valley Planning Area) is a subregion of the Riverside County and Salton Sea Air Basin that is bound by the San Jacinto Mountains to the west and the eastern boundary of the Coachella Valley to the east. 3.2 Regional Climate The regional climate significantly influences the air quality in the Basin. In addition, the temperature, wind, humidity, precipitation, and amount of sunshine influence the air quality. The annual average temperatures throughout the Basin vary from the low to middle 60° Fahrenheit (F). Due to a decreased marine influence, the eastern portion of the Basin shows greater variability in average annual minimum and maximum temperatures. January is the coldest month throughout the Basin, with average minimum temperatures of 47 °F in downtown Los Angeles and 36 °F in San Bernardino. All portions of the Basin have recorded maximum temperatures above 100 °F. Peaceful Paws Crematorium Air Quality & Climate Change Analysis URBAN City of Lake Elsinore, CA (JN. AQ GCC Report.doc) CROSSRO s 7 PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 19 of 102 Although the climate of the Basin can be characterized as semi -arid, the air near the land surface is quite moist on most days because of the presence of a marine layer. This shallow layer of sea air is an important modifier of Basin climate. Humidity restricts visibility in the Basin, and the conversion of sulfur dioxide to sulfates is heightened in air with high relative humidity. The marine layer provides an environment for that conversion process, especially during the spring and summer months. The annual average relative humidity within the Basin is 71 percent along the coast and 59 percent inland. Since the ocean effect is dominant, periods of heavy early morning fog are frequent and low stratus clouds are a characteristic feature. It should be noted that these effects decrease with distance from the coast. More than 90 percent of the Basin's rainfall occurs from November through April. The annual average rainfall varies from approximately nine inches in Riverside to fourteen inches in downtown Los Angeles. Monthly and yearly rainfall totals are extremely variable. Summer rainfall usually consists of widely scattered thunderstorms near the coast and slightly heavier shower activity in the eastern portion of the Basin with frequency being higher near the coast. Due to its generally clear weather, about three - quarters of available sunshine is received in the Basin. The remaining one - quarter is absorbed by clouds. The ultraviolet portion of this abundant radiation is a key factor in photochemical reactions. On the shortest day of the year there are approximately 10 hours of possible sunshine, and on the longest day of the year there are approximately 14 -1/2 hours of possible sunshine. The importance of wind to air pollution is considerable. The direction and speed of the wind determines the horizontal dispersion and transport of the air pollutants. During the late autumn to early spring rainy season, the Basin is subjected to wind flows associated with the traveling storms moving through the region from the northwest. This period also brings five to ten periods of strong, dry offshore winds, locally termed "Santa Anas" each year. During the dry season, which coincides with the months of maximum photochemical smog concentrations, the wind flow is bimodal, typified by a daytime onshore sea breeze and a nighttime offshore drainage wind. Summer wind flows are created by the pressure differences between the relatively cold ocean and the unevenly heated and cooled land surfaces that modify the general northwesterly wind circulation over southern California. Nighttime drainage begins with the radiational cooling of the mountain slopes. Heavy, cool air descends the slopes and flows through the mountain passes and canyons as it follows the lowering terrain toward the ocean. Another characteristic wind regime in the basin is the "Catalina Peaceful Paws Crematorium Air Quality & Climate Change Analysis URBAN City of Lake Elsinore, CA (JN. 07566-02 AQ GCC Report.doc) crsossnAM 8 PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 20 of 102 Eddy," a low level cyclonic (counterclockwise) flow centered over Santa Catalina Island which results in an offshore flow to the southwest. On most spring and summer days, some indication of an eddy is apparent in costal sections. In the Basin, there are two distinct temperature inversion structures that control vertical mixing of air pollution. During the summer, warm high - pressure descending (subsiding) air is undercut by a shallow layer of cool marine air. The boundary between these two layers of air is a persistent marine subsidence /inversion. This boundary prevents vertical mixing which effectively acts as an impervious lid to pollutants over the entire Basin. The mixing height for the inversion structure is normally situated 1,000 to 1,500 feet above mean sea level. A second inversion -type forms in conjunction with the drainage of cool air off the surrounding mountains at night followed by the seaward drift of this pool of cool air. The top of this layer forms a sharp boundary with the warmer air aloft and creates nocturnal radiation inversions. These inversions occur primarily in the winter, when nights are longer and onshore flow is weakest. They are typically only a few hundred feet above mean sea level. These inversions effectively trap pollutants, such as NOx and CO from vehicles, as the pool of cool air drifts seaward. Winter is therefore a period of high levels of primary pollutants along the coastline. 3.3 Existina Air Quailty Existing air quality is measured based upon ambient air quality standards. These standards are the levels of air quality that are considered safe, with an adequate margin of safety, to protect the public health and welfare. Those standards currently in effect for both California and federal air quality standards are shown in Table 3 -1. The determination of whether a region's air quality is healthful or unhealthful is determined by comparing contaminant levels in ambient air samples to the state standards and federal standards presented in Table 3 -1. The air quality in a region is considered to be in attainment by the state if the measured ambient air pollutant levels for 0 CO, S02, NO PM and PM are not equaled or exceeded at any time in any consecutive three -year period; and the federal standards (other than 03, PM PM2. and those based on annual averages or arithmetic mean) are not exceeded more than once per year. The 03 standard is attained when the fourth highest eight -hour Peaceful Paws Crematorium Air Quality & Climate Change Analysis URBAN City of Lake Elsinore, CA(JN:07566 -02 A GCC Report.doc) CROSSRO^Ds 9 PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 21 of 102 concentration in a year, averaged over three years, is equal to or less than the standard. For PM1 the 24 -hour standard is attained when 99 percent of the daily concentrations, averaged over three years, are equal to or less than the standard. See Table 3 -2 for attainment designations. 3.4 Regional Air Quality The SCAQMD monitors levels of various criteria pollutants at 30 monitoring stations throughout the air district. In 2008, the federal and state standards were exceeded on one or more days for ozone, PM and PM2. at most monitoring locations. No areas of the SCAB exceeded federal or state standards for NO2, S0 CO, sulfates or lead. See Table 3 -2 for attainment designations for the SCAB. 3.5 Local Air Quality The nearest long -term air quality monitoring site in relation to the project for Ozone (03), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO is carried out by the South Coast Air Quality Management District ( SCAQMD) at the Lake Elsinore monitoring station located. Data for Inhalable Particulates (PM was obtained from the Perris Valley monitoring station and data for Ultra -Fine Particulates (PM was obtained from the Metropolitan Riverside County 2 monitoring station. It should be noted that the Perris Valley and Metropolitan Riverside County 2 monitoring stations were utilized in lieu of the Lake Elsinore monitoring station only where data was not available from the Lake Elsinore monitoring site. The 3 years of data in Table 3 -3 shows the number of days standards were exceeded for the study area. Additionally, data for S02 has been omitted as attainment is regularly met in the South Coast Air Basin and few monitoring stations measure S0 concentrations.

Examples of sources and effects of the criteria pollutants are identified below: • Carbon Monoxide (CO) Is a colorless, odorless gas produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon - containing fuels, such as gasoline or wood. CO concentrations tend to be the highest during the winter morning, when little to no wind and surface- based inversions trap the pollutant at ground levels. Because CO is emitted directly from internal combustion engines, unlike ozone, motor vehicles operating at slow speeds are the primary source of CO in the Basin. The highest ambient CO concentrations are generally found near congested transportation corridors and intersections. • Sulfur Dioxide (S0 Is a colorless, extremely irritating gas or liquid. It enters the atmosphere as a pollutant mainly as a result of burning high sulfur - content fuel oils and coal and from chemical processes occurring at chemical plants and refineries. When SO2 oxidizes in the atmosphere, it forms sulfates (SO4). Collectively, these pollutants are referred to as sulfur oxides (SOX). • Nitrogen Oxides (Oxides of Nitrogen, or NO S ) : Nitrogen oxides (NO consist of nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) and are formed when nitrogen (N2) combines with oxygen (0 Their lifespan in the atmosphere ranges from one to seven days for nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide, to 170 years for nitrous oxide. Nitrogen oxides are typically created during combustion processes, and are major contributors to smog formation and acid deposition. NO is a criteria air pollutant, and may result in numerous adverse health effects; it absorbs blue light, resulting in a brownish -red cast to the atmosphere and reduced visibility. Of the seven types of nitrogen oxide compounds, NO2 is the most abundant in the atmosphere. As ambient concentrations of NO2 are related to traffic density, commuters in heavy traffic may be exposed to higher concentrations of NO than those indicated by regional monitors. Nitrogen Oxides (Oxides of Nitrogen. or NO,) Nitrogen oxides (NO,) consist of nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO and nitrous oxide (N2O) and are formed when Peaceful Paws Crematorium Air Quality & Climate Change Analysis URBAN City of Lake Elsinore, CA (JN:07566 -02 AQ GCC_Report.doc) crrRB N PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 26 of 102 nitrogen (NA combines with oxygen (O Their lifespan in the atmosphere ranges from one to seven days for nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide, to 170 years for nitrous oxide. Nitrogen oxides are typically created during combustion processes, and are major contributors to smog formation and acid deposition. NO is a criteria air pollutant, and may result in numerous adverse health effects; it absorbs blue light, resulting in a brownish -red cast to the atmosphere and reduced visibility. Of the seven types of nitrogen oxide compounds, NO is the most abundant in the atmosphere. As ambient concentrations of NO are related to traffic density, commuters in heavy traffic may be exposed to higher concentrations of NO than those indicated by regional monitors. • Ozone (Oa) Is a highly reactive and unstable gas that is formed when volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NO„), both byproducts of internal combustion engine exhaust, undergo slow photochemical reactions in the presence of sunlight. Ozone concentrations are generally highest during the summer months when direct sunlight, light wind, and warm temperature conditions are favorable to the formation of this pollutant. • Min (Particulate Matter less than 10 microns) A major air pollutant consisting of tiny solid or liquid particles of soot, dust, smoke, fumes, and aerosols. The size of the particles (10 microns or smaller, about 0.0004 inches or less) allows them to easily enter the lungs where they may be deposited, resulting in adverse health effects. PM also causes visibility reduction and is a criteria air pollutant. • PM (Particulate Matter less than 2.5 microns) A similar air pollutant consisting of tiny solid or liquid particles which are 2.5 microns or smaller (which is often referred to as fine particles). These particles are formed in the atmosphere from primary gaseous emissions that include sulfates formed from SO release from power plants and industrial facilities and nitrates that are formed from NOx release from power plants, automobiles and other types of combustion sources. The chemical composition of fine particles highly depends on location, time of year, and weather conditions. PM2.5 is a criteria air pollutant. • Volatile Orqanic Compounds (VOC) Volatile organic compounds are hydrocarbon compounds (any compound containing various combinations of hydrogen and Peaceful Paws Crematorium Air Quality & Climate Change Analysis City of Lake Elsinore, CA (JN:07566 -02 AQ GCC Report.doc) 15 URBAN crsossaAN PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 27 of 102 carbon atoms) that exist in the ambient air. VOCs contribute to the formation of smog through atmospheric photochemical reactions and /or may be toxic. Compounds of carbon (also known as organic compounds) have different levels of reactivity; that is, they do not react at the same speed or do not form ozone to the same extent when exposed to photochemical processes. VOCs often have an odor, and some examples include gasoline, alcohol, and the solvents used in paints. Exceptions to the VOC designation include: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, metallic carbides or carbonates, and ammonium carbonate. VOCs are a criteria pollutant since they are a precursor to 03, which is a criteria pollutant. • Reactive Organic Gasses (ROG) Similar to VOC, Reactive Organic Gasses (ROG) are also precursors in forming ozone and consist of compounds containing methane, ethane, propane, butane, and longer chain hydrocarbons, which are typically the result of some type of combustion /decomposition process. Smog is formed when ROG and nitrogen oxides react in the presence of sunlight. ROGs are a criteria pollutant since they are a precursor to 0 which is a criteria pollutant. • Lead (Pb): Lead is a heavy metal that is highly persistent in the environment. In the past, the primary source of lead in the air was emissions from vehicles burning leaded gasoline. As a result of the removal of lead from gasoline, there have been no violations at any of the SCAQMD's regular air monitoring stations since 1982. Currently, emissions of lead are largely limited to stationary sources such as lead smelters. It should be noted that the proposed project is not anticipated to generate a quantifiable amount of lead emissions. Lead is a criteria air pollutant. 3.6 Regulatory Background 3.6.1 Federal Regulations The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for setting and enforcing the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for oxidants (0 CO, NO,, S02, PM and lead. The U.S. EPA has jurisdiction over emissions sources that are under the authority of the federal government including aircraft, locomotives, and emissions sources outside state waters (Outer Continental Shelf). The U.S. EPA also establishes emission standards for vehicles sold in states other than California. Automobiles sold in California Peaceful Paws Crematorium Air Quality & Climate Change Analysis URBAN City of Lake Elsinore, CA (JN . -02 AQGCC Report.doc) CKOSSRo^. s 16 PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 28 of 102 must meet the stricter emission requirements of the California Air Resources Board (GARB). The Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) was first enacted in 1955 and has been amended numerous times in subsequent years (1963, 1965, 1967, 1970, 1977, and 1990). As discussed above, the CAA establishes the federal air quality standards, the NAAQS, and specifies future dates for achieving compliance. The CAA also mandates that states submit and implement State Implementation Plans (SIPS) for local areas not meeting these standards. These Plans must include pollution control measures that demonstrate how the standards will be met. The 1990 amendments to the CAA that identify speck emission reduction goals for areas not meeting the NAAQS require a demonstration of reasonable further progress toward attainment and incorporate additional sanctions for failure to attain or to meet interim milestones. The sections of the CAA most directly applicable to the development of the project site include Title I (Non- Attainment Provisions) and Title II (Mobile Source Provisions). Title I provisions were established with the goal of attaining the NAAQS for the following criteria pollutants 03, NO S0 PM CO, PM and lead. The NAAQS were amended in July 1997 to include an additional standard for 03 and to adopt a NAAQS for PM Table 3 -1 (previously presented) provides the NAAQS within the basin. Mobile source emissions are regulated in accordance with Title II provisions. These provisions require the use of cleaner burning gasoline and other cleaner burning fuels such as methanol and natural gas. Automobile manufacturers are also required to reduce tailpipe emissions of hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides (NO,). NO, is a collective term that includes all forms of nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2, NO3) which are emitted as byproducts of the combustion process. 3.6.2 California Regulations The CARB, which became part of the California EPA in 1991, is responsible for ensuring implementation of the California Clean Air Act (AB2595), responding to the federal CAA, and for regulating emissions from consumer products and motor vehicles. The California Peaceful Paws Crematorium Air Quality & Climate Change Analysis URBAN City of Lake Elsinore, CA (JN:07566 -02 AQ GCC Report.doc) crtosBAN 17 PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 29 of 102 CAA mandates achievement of the maximum degree of emissions reductions possible from vehicular and other mobile sources in order to attain the state ambient air quality standards by the earliest practical date. The CARB established the CAAQS for all pollutants for which the federal government has NAAQS and, in addition, establishes standards for sulfates, visibility, hydrogen sulfide, and vinyl chloride. However at this time, hydrogen sulfide and vinyl chloride are not measured at any monitoring stations in the Basin because they are not considered to be a regional air quality problem. It should also be noted that the CAAQS are generally more stringent than the NAAQS. Local air quality management districts, such as the SCAQMD, regulate air emissions from commercial and light industrial facilities. All air pollution control districts have been formally designated as attainment or non - attainment for each CAAQS. Serious non - attainment areas are required to prepare air quality management plans that include specified emission reduction strategies in an effort to meet clean air goals. These plans are required to include: • Application of Best Available Retrofit Control Technology to existing sources; • Developing control programs for area sources (e.g., architectural coatings and solvents) and indirect sources (e.g. motor vehicle use generated by residential and commercial development); • A District permitting systems designed to allow no net increase in emissions from any new or modified permitted sources of emissions; • Implementing reasonably available transportation control measures and assuring a substantial reduction in growth rate of vehicle trips and miles traveled; • Significant use of low emissions vehicles by fleet operators; • Sufficient control strategies to achieve a five percent or more annual reduction in emissions or 15 percent or more in a period of three years for ROCs, NO., CO and PM However, air basins may use alternative emission reduction strategy which achieves a reduction of less than five percent per year under certain circumstances.

Additionally, the proposed project has been evaluated to determine if it will result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of a criteria pollutant for which the SCAB is non - attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. The significance of these potential impacts is described in the following section. 4.2 Standards of Significance The criteria used to determine the significance of potential project- related air quality impacts are taken from the Initial Study Checklist in Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations § §15000, et seq.). Based on these thresholds, a project would result in a significant impact related to air quality if it would: (1) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan. (2) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation. (3) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is in non - attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions, which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors). (4) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. (5) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. The SCAQMD has also developed regional and localized significance thresholds for other regulated pollutants, as summarized at Table 4 -1. The SCAQMD's CEQA Air Quality Significance Thresholds (March 2009) indicate that any projects in the SCAB with daily emissions that exceed Peaceful Paws Crematorium Air Quality & Climate Change Analy City of Lake Elsinore, CA (JN.

The facility owner is relocating three (3) cremation units manufactured by Matthews International, model numbers: IE43 -PPII — Power Pak II, IEB -32, and IEB -50. The units have burn rates of 200 (IE43 -PPII — Power Pak II), 200 (IEB -32), and 300 (IEB -50) pounds per hour for both remains and their associated containers. The cremation units are manual feed multiple chamber design and fired by natural gas. The units achieve a temperature not less than 1500 degrees Fahrenheit in the secondary chamber when the equipment is in use per manufacturer specifications. The facility currently operates from 7AM to 7PM 7 days per week and has a maximum throughput of 25,000 pounds of pet remains per month. The project - related operations emissions summary, along with a comparison of SCAQMD recommended significance thresholds, is presented in Table 4 -2. Additionally, detailed emissions calculations are provided in Appendix "A ". The results of the analysis indicate that project related emissions levels for operational emissions will not exceed the regional criteria pollutant thresholds established by the SCAQMD.

The LST methodology was provisionally adopted by the Governing Board in October 2003. LSTs are only applicable to the following criteria pollutants: NO CO, PM1 and PM LSTs 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. Pollutant emissions are considered to have a significant effect on the environment if they result in concentrations that create either a violation of an ambient air quality standard, contribute to an existing air quality violation or expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. Should ambient air quality already exceed existing standards, the SCAQMD has established specific significance criteria to account for the continued degradation of local air quality. For PM emissions, background concentrations in the project area occasionally exceed the CAAQS for the PM10 24 -hour averaging time. As a result, a significant impact occurs when pollutant concentrations produce a measurable change over existing background concentrations. Background concentrations are based upon the highest observed value for the most recent three year period. For NO2 and CO, background concentrations are below the current air quality standards. As such, a significant impact occurs when pollutant concentrations add to existing levels and create an exceedance of the CAAQS. Table 3 -3 (presented previously) shows the pollutant concentrations collected at the nearest monitoring stations for CO, NO PM and PM where data for the last three years is available. Since regulatory guidance allows for consideration of multiple stacks when release parameters are similar and located within relative proximity. For the proposed cremation units, they are of the same make and design and will be adjoining within the same facility. As such, the risk assessment assumed all facility emissions were associated with a single source location. Model input values were based upon available technical documentation provided by the equipment manufacturer and Evans —Brown & Hemet Valley Mortuary representatives.

Wake effects are included in the calculations using either the automated distance array or discrete distance options. Table 4 -3 outlines the relevant input values utilized in the modeling exercise.

As such, a distance of 360 meters was assigned for the residential receptor located northeast of the proposed facility. For the worker receptor, existing businesses currently border the emission source. As a result, the receptor distance is limited by the dispersion model's ability to perform concentration estimates within a defined distance.

As a result, a minimum receptor distance of 22 meters was utilized. For operational activity, emissions levels were evaluated for on -site operations only (LST guidance states that off -site mobile emissions from the project should not be included in emissions compared to LSTs). Mobile source emissions are therefore not included in the LST calculations. Table 4-4 presents the results of the analysis in tabular format for review.

The SCAQMD has jurisdiction over an approximately 12,000 square -mile area consisting of the four- county Basin and the Los Angeles County and Riverside County portions of what use to be referred to as the Southeast Desert Air Basin. In these areas, the SCAQMD is principally responsible for air pollution control, and works directly with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), county transportation commissions, local governments, as well as state and federal agencies to reduce emissions from stationary, mobile, and indirect sources to meet State and Federal ambient air quality standards. Currently, these State and Federal air quality standards are exceeded in most parts of the Basin. In response, the SCAQMD has adopted a series of Air Quality Management Plans (AQMPs) to meet the State and Federal ambient air quality standards. AQMPs are updated regularly in order to more effectively reduce emissions, accommodate growth, and to minimize any negative fiscal impacts of air pollution control on the economy. The project's consistency with the 2007 AQMP is discussed as follows: Criteria for determining consistency with the AQMP are defined in Chapter 12, Section 12.2 and Section 12.3 of the SCAQMD's CEQA Air Quality Handbook. These indicators are discussed below: • Consistency Criterion No. 1: The proposed project will not result in an increase in the frequency or severity of existing air quality violations or cause or contribute to new violations, or delay the timely attainment of air quality standards or the interim emissions reductions specified in the AQMP. The violations that Consistency Criterion No. 1 refers to are the CAAQS. The project is not expected to exceed the SCAQMD regional or localized emissions thresholds during operational activity. Therefore, the proposed project is considered to be in compliance with Consistency Criterion No. 1, and potential impacts are not expected to occur with respect to this threshold of significance. Peaceful Paws Crematorium Air Quality & Climate Change Analysis URBAN City of Lake Elsinore, CA(JN:07566 -02 ACGCC Report.doc) cnoeBAM 27 PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 39 of 102 • Consistency Criterion No. 2: The proposed project will not exceed the assumptions in the AQMP in 2011 or increments based on the years of project build -out phase. The AQMP growth assumptions are generated by SCAG. SCAG derives its assumptions, in part, based on the General Plans of cities located within the SCAG region. Therefore, if a project does not exceed the growth projections in the General Plan, then it is consistent with the growth assumptions in the AQMP. Because the project is in compliance with currently adopted land use /zoning, it is assumed that the proposed project is in compliance with Consistency Criterion No. 2. Since the proposed project satisfies both Consistency Criterion No. 1 and Consistency Criterion No. 2, the project is assumed to be consistent with the 2007 AQMP. 4.6 Secondary Effects Evaluation / Odor Impacts The potential impact of the project on sensitive receptors has also been considered. Sensitive receptors can include uses such as long term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and retirement homes. Residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic facilities can also be considered as sensitive receptors. As previously discussed in the LST analysis, localized concentrations will not exceed the SCAQMD thresholds and therefore sensitive receptors will not be adversely impacted as a result of the project. Potential odor sources associated with the proposed project may result from ongoing project operations and crematory activities. The proposed project would be required to comply with SCAQMD Rule 402 to prevent occurrences of public nuisances. Additionally, all crematory equipment is manufactured by Matthews Cremation, Inc. and utilizes Smoke- BusterM technology which consumes and destroys smoke and odor from the cremation process. Lastly, it should be noted that the existing facility which has been in operation for over five years has never received any odor - related complaints. Therefore, odor impacts associated with the proposed project operations would be less than significant and no mitigation is required.

The Natural Resources Agency adopted the Guideline amendments and they became operative on January 1, 2010. Of note, the new guidelines state that a lead agency shall have discretion to determine whether to use a quantitative model or methodology, or in the alternative, rely on a qualitative analysis or performance based standards. New CEQA Guideline § 15064.4(a) "A lead agency shall have discretion to determine, in the context of a particular project, whether to: (1) Use a model or methodology to quantify greenhouse gas emissions resulting from a project, and which model or methodology to use . . .; or (2) Rely on a qualitative analysis or performance based standards." The CEQA Guideline amendments do not identify a threshold of significance for greenhouse gas emissions, nor do they prescribe assessment methodologies or specific mitigation measures. Instead, they call for a "good -faith effort, based on available information, to describe, calculate or estimate the amount of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from a project" The amendments encourage lead agencies to consider many factors in performing a CEQA analysis and preserve lead agencies' discretion to make their own determinations based upon substantial evidence. The amendments also encourage public agencies to make use of programmatic mitigation plans and programs from which to tier when they perform individual project analyses. Specific GHG language incorporated in the Guidelines' suggested Environmental Checklist (Guidelines Appendix G) is as follows: VII. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS Would the project: a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? Peaceful Paws Crematorium Air Quality & Climate Change Analysis URBAN City of Lake Elsinore, CA(JN.07566 -02 AQGCC Report.doc) cROSSKOf nS 29 PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 41 of 102 As demonstrated herein, the proposed Project would not generate GHGs that would have a significant impact on the environment. Nor would the Project conflict with an applicable GHG emissions reduction plan, policy, or regulation. 5.2 Analysis of Impacts Set forth below is the analysis for each the two factors delineated in the CEQA Guidelines. FACTOR NO. 1: The extent to which the Project may increase or reduce greenhouse gas emissions as compared to the existing environmental setting. As noted in the project description Section 2.0 of this report, the applicant is proposing a relocation of an EXISTING animal crematorium to a new lot approximately '% mile to the southwest of the existing facility. As such, no new GHG emissions are expected to be generated and a less than significant impact is expected. FACTOR NO. 2: The extent to which the Project complies with regulations or requirements adopted to implement a statewide, regional, or local plan for the reduction or mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. Such requirements must be adopted by the relevant public agency through a public review process and must reduce or mitigate the Project's incremental contribution of greenhouse gas emissions. If there is substantial evidence that the possible effects of a particular project are still cumulatively considerable, notwithstanding compliance with the adopted regulations or requirements, an EIR must be prepared for the project. Neither the SCAQMD or CARB, have formally adopted a significance threshold for GHG emissions generated by a proposed project, or a uniform methodology for analyzing impacts related to GHG emissions or global climate change. Moreover, the City of Lake Elsinore has not adopted a climate action plan or other similar plan regulating the emission of greenhouse gases for projects, for which the City of Lake Elsinore acts as lead agency. Therefore, there are no applicable regulations or requirements adopted to implement a statewide, regional, or local plan for the reduction or mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions of which to compare the Project. Moreover, as discussed in the response to Factor No. 1 above, the project is not proposing a new source of GHG emissions since the use currently exists and is simply being relocated to a new facility.

Therefore impacts associated with construction activity are deemed less than significant, thus mitigation is not required. 6.3 Operational Activity Recommended Mitigation Measures Project - related operational emissions will not exceed SCAQMD regional or localized emissions thresholds, thus mitigation is not required. 6.4 Evaluation of Significance Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), air quality impacts may be considered significant if. • A project conflicts with, or obstructs implementation of the applicable Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). The applicable 2007 AQMP developed by the SCAQMD sets forth a comprehensive program with a goal of leading the air basin into compliance with all federal and state ambient air quality standards. The applicable AQMP control strategies and related emissions reductions are based upon emissions projections for a future development scenario derived from expected land use, population, and employment characteristics that were identified with consultation from local governments. Therefore, compliance with the applicable AQMP for development projects is determined by demonstrating compliance with local land use plans and /or population projections.

The project area is designated a non - attainment area for ozone, PM and PM The analysis presented in this report indicates that both operational emissions will not exceed SCAQMD regional or localized thresholds. As a result, the project is not expected to lead to or significantly contribute to existing violations of federal and /or state ambient air quality standards for ozone, PM or PM 2 . 5 . • A project contributes a cumulatively considerable net increase of a criteria pollutant in a non - attainment area. The project area is designated as non - attainment for ozone, PM and PM The results of the analysis indicate that the air quality impacts for the proposed project are significant on an individual project basis. CEQA Section 2100 (e) addresses evaluation of cumulative effects allowing the use of approved land use documents in a cumulative impact analysis. CEQA Guidelines Section 15064 (i) (3) indicate that for an impact involving a resource that is addressed by an approved plan or mitigation program, the lead agency may determine that a project's incremental contribution is not cumulatively considerable if the project complies with the adopted plan or program. In addressing cumulative effects for air quality, the AQMP is the most appropriate document to use due to its comprehensive nature in identifying a plan that is expected to lead the air basin (including the project area) into compliance with all federal and state ambient air quality standards. The proposed project is consistent with the currently adopted AQMP; therefore, the project's incremental contribution to criteria pollutants is not considered cumulatively considerable. It should also be noted that project emissions are not significant on an individual project basis. • Project - generated emissions expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations.

The cremation units will utilize natural gas to produce heat and flame in a manner which consumes soft tissue and retains dry bone fragments. Inherently, exhaust gases and related toxic air contaminants JAC) are emitted from the combustion process. As such, the proposed equipment is subject to permitting requirements of the South Coast Air Quality Management District ( SCAQMD). In June 1990, the SCAQMD adopted Rule 1401 which specified limits for maximum individual cancer risk and excess cancer cases for new, relocated, or modified equipment which emit carcinogenic air contaminants. The rule was subsequently amended in July 1998 to include noncarcinogenic compounds. Rule 1401 specifies limits for maximum individual cancer risk (MICR), noncancer acute and chronic hazard indices (HI) and cancer burden from new permit units, relocations, or modifications to existing permit units which emit identified TACs. As a result, a risk assessment is required to determine facility compliance with the following requirements: • The cumulative increase in maximum individual cancer risk (MICR) does not exceed one in one million (1.OE -06) if Best Available Control Technology for Toxics (T -BACT) is not used or, one in one hundred thousand (1.0 E -05) if T- BACT is used; • For target organ systems, neither the cumulative increase in either the total chronic hazard index (HIC) nor the total acute hazard index (HIA) due to total emissions from the affected permit unit exceed 1.0 for any target organ system, or an alternate hazard index level deemed to be safe; and, • The cumulative cancer burden (increase in cancer cases within the population) does not exceed 0.5. The risk assessment and dispersion modeling methodologies used in the preparation of this report were composed of all relevant and appropriate procedures presented by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and SCAQMD. The methodologies and assumptions offered under this regulatory guidance were used to ensure that the assessment accurately quantified community -based impacts associated with the generation of contaminant emissions. This report summarizes the protocol used to evaluate the health risks associated with the operation of the proposed cremation units and presents the results of the air toxic health risk assessment. PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 55 of 102 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION The existing project site is currently located at 29360 Hunco Way, Unit A, in the City of Lake Elsinore. The existing use is proposing relocation to 18345 Pasadena Street within an existing industrial complex. The 5,673 square foot facility will be designed to accommodate the existing three (3) cremation units suitable for processing a maximum of 25,000 pounds of pet remains per month. The facility will continue to operate 12 hours per day, 7 days per week. The cremation units utilize natural gas to produce heat and flame in a manner which consumes soft tissue and retains dry bone fragments. Inherently, exhaust gases and related air contaminants (criteria air pollutants) are emitted from the combustion process. The existing and proposed project site are zoned Limited Manufacturing (M1). Currently, the nearest existing or zoned residential uses from the project are located approximately 0.43 mile (2,293 feet) to the south, the nearest existing or zoned residential uses from the proposed project location are located approximately 0.19 mile (1,003 feet) to the south. Exhibit 2 -A presents an aerial photograph of the existing and proposed location and surrounding community. Exhibit 2 -13 presents a land use map which identifies the various land use designations in proximity of the existing and proposed location. 2 PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 56 of 102 M N 0. m w 00 f- O x G.

The units have burn rates of 200 (IE43 -PPII — Power Pak II), 200 (IEB -32), and 300 (IEB -50) pounds per hour for both remains and their associated containers. The cremation units are manual feed multiple chamber design and fired by natural gas. Based upon the above operational characteristics, the facility owner /operator proposes to process 25,000 pounds of pet remains per month. Assuming a maximum operating schedule of 4,368 hours per year (12 hours /day x 52 weeks per year x 7 days per week), facility mass emissions are anticipated to be 150 tons per year (68.68 pounds per hour). To assess the impact of TAC emissions, the facility wide emission estimate was applied to a contaminant profile utilized by the SCAQMD for crematory operations to produce discrete emission estimates. A list of emitted compounds and corresponding emission factors utilized in the assessment is presented in Table 1.

The model is recommended by the SCAQMD when conducting risk assessments utilizing the Tier 3 screening dispersion model protocol. SCREEN3 is a single source Gaussian plume model which provides maximum ground level concentrations for point, area, flare, and volume sources, as well as concentrations in the cavity zone, and concentrations due to inversion break -up and shoreline fumigation. SCREEN3 is a screening version of the Industrial Source Complex -Short Term (ISCST3) model. SCREEN3 can perform single source, short-term calculations including estimating maximum ground level concentrations and the distance to the maximum, incorporating the effects of building downwash on the maximum concentrations for both the near wake and far wake regions as well as estimating concentrations in the cavity recirculation zone. Although SCREEN3 cannot explicitly determine maximum impacts from multiple sources, guidance is provided to accept multiple nearby stacks by merging emissions into a single "representative" source location. In addition, the model examines a full range of meteorological conditions, including all stability classes and wind speeds to find the maximum downwind concentration. The use of a full set of meteorological conditions is required as maximum concentrations are given as a function of distance and A, C, E or F stability classes may not be controlling for sources with building downwash. SCREEN3 explicitly calculates the effects of multiple reflections of the plume off an elevated inversion and off the ground when calculating concentrations under limited mixing conditions. The model also addresses the dispersion effects from plume rise associated with buoyancy induced dispersion. As noted above, regulatory guidance allows for consideration of multiple stacks when release parameters are similar and located within relative proximity. For the proposed cremation units, they are of the same make and design and will be adjoining within the same facility. As such, the risk assessment assumed all facility emissions were associated with a single source location. Model input values were based upon available technical documentation provided by the equipment manufacturer. Stack exhaust gas temperature and volumetric flow rate were obtained from emission test documentation for the Model IE43 -PPII — Power Pak II, IEB -32, and IEB -50. The average stack exhaust gas temperature and volumetric flow rate for the three pieces of equipment was utilized. The emissions test data is available in Appendix C. 6 PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 60 of 102 The effect of plume behavior associated with building downwash was considered in the modeling exercise utilizing the Schulman -Scire regulatory option. The downwash screening procedure assumes that the building is approximated by a simple rectangular box. Wake effects are included in the calculations using either the automated distance array or discrete distance options. Table 2 outlines the relevant input values utilized in the modeling exercise. Table 2 SCREEN3 Model Input Parameters Input Parameter Terrain Value Simple Source Type Point Emission Rate 8.66131 Stack Height (m) 7.9250 Stack Inside Diameter (m) 0.5080 Stack Exit Velocity (m /s) 7.756 Stack Gas Temperature (K) 950.222 Ambient Air Temperature (K) 293.0 Receptor Height (m) 0 Urban /Rural Option Urban Building Height (m) 7.0104 Minimum Horizontal Dimension (m) 18.59 Maximum Horizontal Dimension (m) 28.35 Discrete distances were programmed into the model to identify the maximum exposed residential and worker receptors based upon the nearest off site location identified through a review of land use designations and aerial imagery. As such, a distance of 305 meters was assigned for the residential receptor located northeast of the proposed facility. For the worker receptor, existing businesses currently border the emission source. As a result, the receptor distance is limited by the dispersion model's ability to perform concentration estimates within a defined distance. For sources located on short or "squat" buildings affected by downwash, SCREEN3 requires a minimum distance based upon a value 3 times the building height. As a result, a minimum receptor distance of 22 meters was utilized. The SCREEN3 model output file is presented in Appendix A. Predicted mass ground level concentrations are expressed in micrograms per cubic meter (µg /m3). PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 61 of 102 5.0 RISK CHARACTERIZATION Carcinogenic compounds are not considered to have threshold levels (i.e., dose levels below which there are no risks). Any exposure, therefore, will have some associated risk. As a result, the SCAQMD has established a threshold of one in one hundred thousand (1.OE -05) for sources utilizing best available control technology for toxics (T- BACT). The proposed cremation units are natural gas fired and maintain temperatures z 1500 ° F within the secondary chamber. As such, the units are assumed to be T -BACT compliant. For noncarcinogenic effects, the established threshold for a cumulative increase in either the chronic hazard index (HIC) or the acute hazard index (HIA) shall not exceed 1.0 for any target organ system. The cancer burden is the estimated increase in the occurrence of cancer cases in a population as a result of exposures to TAC emissions. The cancer burden for a population unit (city, census tract, sub -area or grid) is the product of the number of persons in the population and the estimated individual risk from TAC exposures. The SCAQMD has established a cancer burden threshold of 0.5 to address the incremental increase in cancer cases throughout a given population. To quantify TAC exposures, the assessment utilized a spreadsheet program developed by the SCAQMD to produce carcinogenic risk, noncarcinogenic health effects and cancer burden estimates pursuant to Rule 1401 Risk Assessment Procedures for Rules 1401 and 212, Version 7.0. The program contains a Tier 3 procedure module that enables the user to provide concentration estimates generated by the SCREEN3 dispersion model to produce cancer risk and hazard estimates for cremation units fired by natural gas. Appendix B, presents the available worksheets generated from the Tier 3 Screening Risk Assessment Report. a PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 62 of 102 6.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS For carcinogenic exposures, the summation of risk totaled 4.87E -06 (4.87 in one million) for the maximum exposed residential receptor and 7.48E -06 (7.48 in one million) for the maximum exposed worker. For noncarcinogenic effects, the chronic and acute hazard indices for each toxicological endpoint totaled less than one for both residential and worker receptors. For the cancer burden estimate, an increase in cancer cases was estimated to be 2.87E -1. In acknowledgment of the regulatory guidelines relating to carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic exposures, TAC emissions generated from the proposed cremation units are within acceptable limits and not anticipated to pose an actual or potential endangerment to persons who live and /or work within the local community. A less than significant impact is found and no mitigation is required. 9 PC January 18, 2011 Item No. 3 Page 63 of 102 REFERENCES 1. Bing Maps, 2010. Website: http: / /bing.com /maps 2.

The unit is located at Reflections Pet Funeral Home in Pinellas Park, Florida (permit number 1030136- 004 -AC). Testing was conducted for the particulates, carbon monoxide, and visible emissions. Oxygen (02) concentrations were measured in order to correct results to 7% 02, 2.0 SUMMARY OF RESULTS The equipment was found to be in compliance with all applicable emission limiting standards. Results of the particulate and carbon monoxide testing for runs 2, 3, and 4 are summarized in Table 1. The average measured particulate emission concentration was 0.022 grains per dry standard cubic foot (corrected to 7% 02). The average measured carbon monoxide emission concentration was 2.5 parts per million by volume (corrected to 7% 02). A visible emissions evaluation was conducted over a 60- minute period. The maximum three minute average opacity was 0 percent. The data for the first run, run 1, were not valid because of a problem with the pitot tube used in the sampling train. The field data sheets for run 1 are included in the appendix. The data were not analyzed.

El Camino Real, Suite 8205 Encinitas, CA 92024 Dear Mr Harris: Please find below additional information as requested via email on September 10, 2010. General Questions /Information: We have currently outgrown our physical plant and we would like to purchase the facility at 18345 Pasadena Street to allow us to operate in a more efficient manner. Our current facility is comprised of two adjacent but unconnected units that do not allow for efficient space utilization or work flow. The physical plant is awkward and inefficient. The facility we are looking to purchase is a single unit that is significantly larger. It is our hope and belief that this will enhance efficiency and potentially allow growth to suit market needs. Finally, we continue to be committed to the Lake Elsinore community. Peaceful Paws was founded as a service to provide the dignified disposal of the companion pet at the time of death. This comprises primarily of dogs and cats with the occasional pocket pet or bird. Although we currently have permission to cremate horses, we are not offering this service at this time. We are seeking approval locally, from the City of Lake Elsinore. The only state agency that governs our operation is the South Coast Air Quality Management District that governs particulate matter / exhaust gasses. We currently operate with these permits in place. Our machines are certified as Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) listed systems which is a federally recognized certification. Assuming the equipment is fully enclosed within the building, the maximum exterior decibel level that would be created will not exceed 46 dBL, these levels ensure compliance with the Riverside County California Noise Ordinances.

Particulate matter / exhaust gasses are generated for no more than 3 hours per day. Please note that our machines are manufactured by the global industry leader in cremation equipment. Our units are "hot hearth" which is for total fluid control and fully automatic one person operation. Standard features include a temperature system that maintains optimum operating temperatures for faster processing while minimizing fuel consumption. Also, a standard feature is the exclusive emission control system that continuously monitors the clarity of exhaust gases, and takes corrective action to ensure smoke and odor free operation. The company guarantees environmental approval; this means that the STRICT and exacting emission standards enforced by the South Coast Air Quality Management District that constantly monitors our facility, are always adhered too. Two types of cremations are offered. Private cremations are returned to the pet Owner. Communal cremains are scattered at sea. When cremains are returned to clients, the animals are compartmentalized within the machine and cremated simultaneously. The compartments simply prevent co- mingling of cremains therefore allowing individual pets ashes to be returned to their rightful owner. "Batch load incinerations" are animals who are cremated together in a dedicated machine with no cremains returned to the clients; one example may be animals that do not have owners and would be received from humane societies or city pounds. These ashes are sent out to sea. This dedicated machine is run on average twice monthly. Ashes are either returned to the client directly or are scattered at sea. We contract with a licensed vendor who scatters cremains at sea. The majority of our pets arrive via our own vehicles directly from veterinary hospitals. Pet owners do not typically come to the facility unless there are special circumstances. As a service to the local community, we will accept pets directly at the facility by special arrangement. This occurs on average twice a month. No memorial services are held on site. Viewing requests are considered special circumstance (as above) and as previously stated occur on average twice a month. All business. vehicles only perform a maximum of one round trip each per day. To enhance efficiency, the vehicles run on specific routes. This means that not all vehicles are operated every day. Site Plan Revisions: Overall site plan has been revised to indicate that all buildings onsite are currently developed. Mailing Address: Hand-written notes on the plans have been deleted. 1042 N.

There are no other proposed uses for this area. Floor Plan Revisions: All proposed interior tenant improvements have been shown labelled and dimensioned as requested including the location of the cremation equipment. Non - applicable notes have been removed from the plans. Correct Building and Fire Code type and classification are also now denoted on the plans. Building Elevation Revisions: Particulate matter and exhaust gasses are vented via roof vents. Location, dimensions and type of venting is now shown on the building elevations. The equipment is completely enclosed within the building and therefore does not need to be screened. The only exterior indication are the stacks. These stacks are less than 36 inches above the roof and are therefore not visible from the ground via line of sight. A specific elevation diagram has been included to illustrate this. Ten copies of full size revised plans along with one 8.5 "x11" copy of plan sheets are enclosed. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further questions regarding this matter.
