Z11 Concerns about existing noise levels at the Pittsburg Power Plant are beyond the scope of this EIR, which is concerned strictly with the environmental effects associated with the proposed project. Therefore, the EIR does not examine the effect of existing noise from the Pittsburg Power Plant (except establish the environmental setting against which impacts are judged), but evaluates the projected increase over existing noise levels that would potentially occur with the sale of the plant to another operator. The analysis concludes that, while operation of the plant could increase under the project, and could result in increased noise levels, the change in noise levels would not be significant. Please see the discussion under Impact 4.10-2, pages 4.10-10 through 4.10-15 of the DEIR, for more detailed information.

Z2 This comment does not pertain to the adequacy of the DEIR or to any potential environmental effects that would result from implementation of the proposed project.
