Would a new tunnel and a new outfall result in more air pollution in the Harbor area?
Any increases in air pollution would be limited to the construction phase of a tunneling project, not the long-term operation.Tunnel construction could result in vehicle and dust emissions at the tunnel shaft sites.The Sanitation Districts would assess these and any other impacts associated with the project in an Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) and adopt mitigation measures to eliminate or reduce such impacts to the extent feasible.
