1 Near-Road Air Quality and Mitigation in Schools near the Mountain View Corridor Presentation to the Granite School District Board on February 3, 2015 Presenters: Cameron Cova, Air Working Group Member Paul Roberts, Sonoma Technology, Inc. The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is constructing the Mountain View Corridor (MVC), a planned freeway from Interstate 80 in Salt Lake County to State Route 73 in Lehi. During the environmental review for the MVC, members of the public were concerned about future air quality at schools along the new roadway. In response to those comments, UDOT formed the MVC Air Working Group (AWG). AWG objectives are: To monitor the air quality effects of the new roadway and To address potential impacts resulting from the construction of the roadway near five schools in the Granite School District. The AWG was allocated $4.1 million (from UDOT) for monitoring and for mitigation at the five schools. The AWG and its contractors have completed their initial work: Background (pre-construction) air monitoring has confirmed typical urban concentrations of air pollutants. It is expected that concentrations of toxic air pollutants from vehicular traffic, namely Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM), will increase when the MVC is completed. Results from other studies at schools near busy freeways demonstrate that DPM concentrations of diesel particulate matter can be significantly reduced in classrooms by a program of improved ventilation systems and improved filtration. A mitigation strategy at the five schools is being recommended; this strategy will be summarized for the Board. The mitigation strategy includes immediate changes to ventilation systems and ongoing increases in operating costs at the five schools. The AWG s allocated funding is being proposed to cover the capital costs and the increase in operating costs for 30 years. Net Present Value of those costs is about $1.8 million. A mitigation strategy and costs for portable classrooms is currently being worked on. The AWG is working with Superintendent Bates and Granite School District (GSD) staff on the recommendation details. The AWG hopes to continue working with GSD staff to implement the recommendations, in order to better protect GSD students from the effects of increased air pollution from the MVC.

3 Overview of Today s Presentation Background: Why is near-road pollution of concern? Background on the Mountain View Corridor (MVC) Air Working Group (AWG). Summary of pre-construction outdoor air quality at Hunter High School. Current filtration systems capability to remove diesel particulate matter (DPM). Mitigation recommendations for schools. 2
4 Project Motivation: Near-Road Pollution and Health Effects Pollutant concentrations are higher near busy roadways. Rob McConnell (USC, Children s Health Study) recently reframed the air pollution problem in general by saying [paraphrasing] We ve been looking at the wrong pollutant mixture; it s not regional air pollution, but near-road pollution, that is the key to understanding the effect of pollution on public health. 3
5 Background on the MVC and Near-Road Air Quality Plans developed for transportation alternatives for a new roadway and transit-way in west Salt Lake County and northwest Utah County ( ) Concern that children would be adversely affected by air pollution from a new major roadway (MVC) near their schools Concerned groups included Utahns for Better Transportation Utah Moms for Clean Air Physicians for a Healthy Environment Sierra Club 4
6 The 5 Schools of Concern and the Future Route of the Mountain View Corridor 5
7 The MVC Air Working Group (AWG) In Final EIS, UDOT adopted mitigation measures to address near-road air quality impacts In the Record of Decision (2008), UDOT and UTA established the AWG and provided $4.1M for monitoring air quality and for mitigation (installing air filters and ongoing maintenance) at 5 schools AWG makeup Four members appointed by citizen advisory groups Four members from UDOT, UTA, Utah Division of Air Quality, local government (West Valley City) Include expertise in air quality modeling and medicine 6
8 AWG: Working Together Since 2009 Familiar with transportation and air quality issues Educated itself on near-road air quality issues Hired a consultant team to perform air quality monitoring and to design mitigation approaches for the 5 schools The rest of this presentation is a summary of the air quality monitoring results and of the AWG recommendations for mitigation in the schools 7
9 Summary of Background (Pre-Construction) Air Quality and Classroom Measurements Diesel particulate matter (DPM) is the greatest contributor to cancer risk from air toxics now. Contribution will be larger with MVC. We measured black carbon (BC) as a surrogate for DPM. Current HVAC systems remove 73% of PM 2.5 but only 7-34% of black carbon % of ambient black carbon was removed in Las Vegas near-road schools with improved HVAC systems and improved filters. 8
10 Outline of Mitigation Discussion Objective: to design HVAC system modifications to remove outdoor black carbon particles from classroom air Summary of steps to reduce particle concentrations indoors in schools Examples of cost analysis results Summary of pre-construction study results Summary of mitigation recommendations 9
11 Overall Steps in Mitigation Analysis Evaluate existing system design Evaluate available filters and their performance specifications Perform engineering and cost analysis of potential equipment to be upgraded Evaluate sensitivity of costs to assumptions Note: We received engineering and cost support from existing HVAC contractors at the schools. 10
12 Example of Cost Analysis Results: Estimated HVAC Operating Cost by School $45,000 $40,000 $35,000 $30,000 $25,000 $20,000 $15,000 Whittier Total Hillside West Valley Hunter Jr High Hunter High School $10,000 $5,000 $- Old Filt$/yr New Filt $/yr Old Elec $ New Elec $ Old Labor New Labor Old Total/yr New Total/yr Delta/Yr Annual incremental cost Total for 5 schools $34,352 11
13 Estimated Net Present Value (NPV) for the Five Schools Total for 5 schools 12
14 Pre-Construction Study Results and Mitigation Recommendations (1 of 2) Near-road pollution affects health Diesel particulate matter (DPM) is a major contributor to air toxic cancer risk Exposure to DPM is highest during morning rush hour Current HVAC systems remove up to 34% of DPM Improved filtration systems can remove 90-95% of DPM Improved filtration systems for portables being designed HVAC system operations are critical for sufficient ventilation in classrooms 13
15 Pre-Construction Study Results and Mitigation Recommendations (2 of 2) Mitigation design process included Evaluating systems and filter performance Engaging GSD staff and HVAC contractors Performing engineering and cost analyses Estimated first cost plus incremental operating costs over 30 years at 3% interest, 4% inflation Total first costs of $430k, annual incremental cost of $35k; NPV of $1,620,000 With 10% contingency of $162,000; total of $1,782,000 for mitigation. Mitigation design & costing for portables in process. 14
16 MVC Air Quality and Mitigation: Potential Next Steps Presentation and discussions between AWG and GSD (today and beyond). Construction on MVC to begin in spring 2016 south of 4100 S. Implementation of mitigation plan in schools (once approved). Air quality monitoring to determine student exposure (after MVC is connected to I-80 or SR-201). Classroom and outdoor monitoring to demonstrate improved filter effectiveness. 15
17 Mitigation Recommendations (other than improved filtration) Place portable classrooms as far away from MVC as possible. Avoid outdoor activities during morning rush hour. Minimize outdoor activities during periods with strong inversions. Provide training for teachers with difficult classrooms (windows that open; doors that open to the outside, rather than to an interior hallway). Control HVAC systems to minimize filling classrooms with morning rush-hour pollutants. Eliminate or minimize emissions from indoor sources (cleaning materials, markers, etc.). 16
