1, 0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A mesoscale air quality analysis was performed far the proposed
Stop & Shop in North Andover, Massachusetts. This analysis was
prepared using the U.S . EPA MOBILE5a Mobile Source Emission Factor
Model and following a protocol which was reviewed in advance by the
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) . This
anal sip satisfies the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act
(MEPA) scope for this project.
Mesoscale emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) were
calculated for four scenarios: 1997 Existing, 200 No-Build, 2002
Build, and 2002 Build with Mitigation. The 1997 Existing mesoscale
VOC emissions in the stixdy area were predicted to be 16. 8 kg/day.
The mesoscale emissions of VOC for the 2002 too-Build and 2002 Build
cases were predicted to be 12 . 9 and 14 . 2 kq/da►y, respectively. The
200 No-Build value indicates a 23-t reduction from the Existing
case. The 2002 Build value indicates a 15% reduction from existing
mesoscale VOC emissions and a 10 increase over the predicted 200
No-Build VOC emissions. The total VOC emissions calculated for the
002 Build case are an extreTaely small part of the total VOC
emissions in the Oaimonwealth.
The project proponent has committed to a number of mitigation
measures, consisting of transportation demand management (T13M)
strategies and roadway improvements, to reduce VOC mesoscale
emissions for the 2002 Build condition. The effectiveness of these
mitigation measures is difficult to quantify but will likely result
in a snail decrease (estimated to be 5 ) in project-related VMT
over the study area. These mitigation measures will likely result
in an 0 . 1 kg/day reduction in 'VOC emissions compared to the 200
Build case. The resulting mesoscale VOC emissions, assuming
mitigation, are 0.7 less than those predicted for the 2002 Build
case and are 16 less than those predicted for the 1997 Existing
case. These `l'DM measures and roadway improvements constitute
reasonable and feasible mitigation Teasures for a supermarket
development.

2 . 0 AIR QUALITY ANALYSIS
A mesoscale air quality analysis was conducted for the proposed
Stop & Shop Supermarket in Forth Andover, Massachusetts . This
project will be are indirect source of air pollution. The key
source of project-related air pollution will be emissions from
motor vehicles operating in the area of the site.
2 . 1 Project Description
The proposed project consists of approximately 64 , 000 square feet
of supermarket apace with an additional 12 , 000 square Feet of
second floor mezzanine office/warehouse space for a total of
approximately 77 , 000 square feet of graes floor space. The project
will be located on Turnpike Street (Route 114) in North Andover_
A general site location map is included as Figure 1. This project
is expected to generate approximately 9 , 674 weekday and 13 , 690
Saturday total vehicle trips per day based on ITE trip generation
rates. A complete description of the traffic analysis can be found
in the ENF for this project, which was released on February 14 ,
1997 . s
In the traffic analysis, Dermot J. Kelly Associates has made the
standard assumption that 25 of the project trips will be from
impulse or "pass-by" trips. Therefore, the traffic analysis
assumes that the project will generate approximately 7, 256 weekday
and 10, 268 Saturday new vehicle trips per day. Twenty-f ive percent
"pass-by" is a conservative assumption for this project location,
which already has a considerable a-mount of commercial
establishments in close proximity. it is likely that the project
will create fewer new trips than were assumed for this analysis
based on actual. Stop & Shop supermarket count data. Therefore, it

is likely that the mesoscale air quality analysis presented here
overestimates the VOC emissions from the project .
c le Air Quality Analysis
A mesoscale air duality analysis was performed to calculate the
regional air quality effect of the project, using as a measure the
total daily emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the
study area. Specifically, modeling was performed to determine
whether the areawide VOC emissions after the project is built will
be less than existing VOC emissions. The analysis followed
Massachusetts DEP guidance,2 described in a protocol which was
approved in advance by the DEP (see Appendix C) . Calculation
spreadsheets for the mesoscale. analysis are located in Appendix A.
The purpose of controllinq VOC emissions is to reduce the
concentration of ground--level ozone. VOC react with oxides of
nitrogen in the presence of sunlight to create ground-level
photochemical oxidants (ozone) . Motor vehicles are the predominant
source of VOC and oxides of nitrogen in urban areas.
The entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts is classified as a
"serious" ozone non-attainment area. Massachusetts is required by
the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments to reduce Voc emissions by 15%
between 1990 and 1996 , with an additional 3 per year reduction
from 1997 until attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQ ) for ozone is achieved . The Commonwealth has
developed a State Implementation Plan (SIP) which shows how these
VOC reductions will be achieved.
Ozone concentrations in the project area are made tip of
predominantly three parts: 1) natural ozone, 2) locally generated
ozone, and 3) ozone transported from upwind urban areas. Emissions
of VOC in the study area have almost no effect on local ozone

levels due to their relatively small size and the fact that
photochemical reaction times are not rapid enough to form ozone
until a parcel of air has been transported some distance downwind.
The VOC emissions from the project area are insignificant when
compared to emissions from the entire region and urban areas upwind
(such as Providence, Rhode island; Hartford, Connecticut; and New
York City) . in the CommonWealth of Massachusetts alone, total VOC
emissions are approximately 960, 000 kg/summer weekday (DEP 1990
Base Year Inventory► November 1993) . Project Voc emissions for the
2002 Build case are predicted to be less than 0 . 002 of this
amount.
2 .2 . 1 Mesoscale Study Area
The mesoscale study area is shown in Figure 2 . The mesoscale study
area was defined in accordance with DEP guidance to include all
roadway segments that will potentially experience an increase of
lot in traffic due to the project and which currently operate at
Level-of-Service (LOS) D, E, or E, or will be degraded to LOS D, E,
or F in the future. The mesoscale study area for this project is
defined by the following six roadway segments along Route 114 in
North Andover:
(1) One-quarter mile south of Willow street/Mill Road to Willow
Street/Mill Road;
(2) Willow Street/Mill Road to Getty gas station south;
(3) Getty gas station south to Getty gas station north;
(4) Getty gas station north to McLay Road (site drive) ;
(5) McLay Road (site drive) to Jasmine Plaza;
(6) Jasmine Plaza to one-quarter mile north of Jasmine Plaza .
.2 .2 Mesoscsle Analysis Procedure
The mesoscale analysis calculated emissions of VOC over the study
area for four scenarios:
4
• 1597 Existing
00 NO-Build
002 Build
41 2002 Build with Mitigation.
The vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for each roadway link identified
above were calculated by multiplying the length of each link by the
average daily traffic volume on the links. Average daily (24-hour
average) traffic volumes were provided by Dermot J . Kell
Associates, Inc. Table A-2 , Appendix A, shows the VMT calculation
spreadsheet for the roadway links.
The VOC emissions for each roadway link were calculated by
ultipl ing the VMT by the XOBILE5a predicted VOC emission factor
in grans per 'mile (see Table A-3 , Appendix Af for the VOC emission
calculation spreadsheet) . The MOBILE5a model was run using inputs
which follow the latest Massachusetts DEP guidance dated May 2 ,
1995 (see Appendix B for MOB1LE5a output) . These emission factors
were calculated for the warm summertime te-mperatures which
correspond with the peak ozone season.
MDSTLE5a predicted VOC emission factors are sensitive to vehir-le
speed. VOC emission rates (grams per mile) decrease as vehicle
speed increases. Table A-3 , Appendix A, shows the vehicle speeds
and associated MOBILE5a VOC emissions rates for each roadway liTik.
The vehicle speeds used for this analysis were provided by Dermot
J. Kelly Associates, Inc. , and are the same for all four scenarios .
2 .2. 3 Predicted Project Impacts
The results of the nesoscale analysis are presented in Table 1 .
Appendix A contains the spreadsheets which show information, on how
the results were calculated and provides a level of detail such
that the VMT and daily VOC e-mis5ions for each of the 6 roadway
links can be identified.
5
Table I shows that the 1997 Existing mesoscale emissions over the
study area are 16 . 8 kg/day . The mesoscale emissions of voc for the
200 No-Build case are predicted to be 12 . 9 kg/day. This is a
reduction from existing mesoscale VOC emissions. The nesescale
emissions of VOC for the 2002 Build case are predicted to be 14 . 2
kg/day. This is a 15% reduction from existing rnesoscale VOC
emissions.
The predicted reduction in raesoscale VOC emissions between 1997 and
2002 results from a decrease in the VOc emission factors predicted
by the MOBILE5a model. While the amount of VMT increases from 1997
to 2002 , for both the No-Build and Build cases, the decrease in the
VOC emission factors more than compensates for the increase in VMT.
The reduction in MOBILE5a VOC emission rates between 1397 and 2002
results from improved -motor vehicle emission controls and the
implementation of enhanced inspection/maintenance and anti-
ta-mpering programs.

.2 .4 Measures to Mitigate Air Quality Impacts
The mesoscale analysis results presented in Table 1 show that the
VOC emissions for the 2002 Build case are expected to be 1. 3 kg/day
more than those for the 2002 No-Build vase. Compared to statewide
VOC emissions of approximately 960 , 000 kg/supmer weekday, this is
6
an inQrease of less than 0. 000 % . All reasonable and feasible VOO
reductionlmitigation measures are discussed below.
Transportation Demand Management. The Stop & Shop Supermarket
project is a retail development. Traffic demand reduction is not
a very practical fora of mitigation for a retail project since
people do not typically carpool or rideshare to a supermarket as
they might to an office bQil.ding. Nevertheless, traffic demand
mitigation is discussed below to help lessen the impacts of the
project on future VOC emissions.
The project proponent will support and promote strategics to reduce
vehir-le trips to and from the site. These measures are known as
transportation demand management (TDM) practices. It is difficult
to quantify the reduction in VMT and mesoscale VOC emissions which
would result from TDM practices. The proponent's tenant, Stop &
Shop, will provide the following measures designed to reduce
transportation demand on the area-wide transportation system. Stop
& Shop has a history of providing similar measures at other stores
located in Massachusetts.
Sheltered ston
The proponent will provide a sheltered waiting area with a
bench to accommodate bus/shuttle bus service in the event
a bus or shuttle bus service is provided to the site. Stop
& Shop will explore the feasibility of having} a Merrinan_k
Valley Transit Authority (KvT'A) bus route run directly into
the site and publicly display the route and schedule in the
supermarket, if such a route becomes a reality. Stop &
Shop will be responsible for the implementation of this
program which will be implemented once the store is open.
• Shuttle Bus Service
The proponents tenant, stop & Shop will work to enjoin
with an existing shuttle bus service to provide bus service
between the market and existing elderly housing locations
in the vicinity of the site and if the demand to provide
such service can be maintained in a viable way. Stop &
Shop will be responsible for the implementation of this
program which will be impl.en8nted once the sure is open.
7
# Car ooli Van oolin
Stop & Shop will encourage the establishment of an employee
commuter program that would provide ride-mati--bing
information and promote carpools/vanpools through
assignment of preferential parking. Stop & Shop will
provide promotional and informational materials (Carvan) on
ride-sharing and public transit to its employees. stop &
Shop will be responsible for the implementation of this
program which will be implemented once the store is open.
aBjqycle Storage Racks
Stop & shop will provide on-site sheltered bicycle storage
racks at the proposed store. Stop & shop will be
responsible for the implementation of this measure which
will be implemented once the store is open_
• Peapod
Stop & Shop will provide the Peapod Internet shopping
program at this store and continua this service, assuming
it remains to provide a valuable service to its customers.
Stop & Shop will be responsible for the implementation of
this program which will be implemented once the store is
open.
• Multi-Purgcse.....Trips
,
The proposed Stop & Shop Supermarket will feature an on-
site pharmacy, bank/ATM services, a bakery, a florist, and
bottle return among other amenities . The provision of
these facilities directly on-site will reduce the need for
customers/employees to make additional travel trips off the
site in search of these services. In addition, Stop & Shop
offers direct deposit of employee paychecks to its credit
union.
• On-Site r . mportation Program Manag
Stop & Shop will designate one or more of its employees on
site as a TOM coordinator to be responsible for the
implementation of the above TDM programs, The TDM
coordinator will serve as the liaison between local
officials and the supermarket.
The implementation of these TDM measures will lead to a reduction
in project related VMT; however, it is difficult to quantify the
potential VT reduction from these mitigation practices. A 5
reduction in project daily traffic was assumed to result from the
implementation of these TDM measures .
8
Roadway Improvements. Roadway JTtprovements which improve the
traffir flow and redQr-e intersection delays will result in a
de x'ease in motor vehicle emissions. The project proponent is
committed to the following roadway improvements for this project:
# Turn ice Street at McLa Road Site Drive
The proponent will install and construct a fully actuated
traffic signal at the entrance to the supermarket, assuming
all permits and approvals are obtained and the proposed
project proceeds. The traffic signal will be
interconner-ted with the Willow Street/Mill load signal and
include a fire/emergency optiuom preemption system. In
addition to the proposed traffic signal , Turnpike sti--sat
will be widened to a five-lane cross section, over an
approxi ate distance of 1, 200 feet. This improvement would
result in an LOS H operating condition under both the 200
weekday evening and 2002 Saturday midday peak hours based
on conservative evaluation using ITE trip generation rates,
Currently, Turnpike Street consists of a three lane cross
section adjacent to the site. The proposed five-lane
seQt.ion in front of the site is consistent with the five-
lane cross section south of the site at the Willow
Street/Mill Road intersection. it should be noted that a
four-lane cross section at the McLay Road interser-ti.on
would provide an adequate LOS; however, the proponent will
construct the five-lane cross section in order to be
consistent with the ultimate cross section which should be
constructed in this area. The proponent will be
responsible for the implementation of the measure assuming
all necessary permits and approvals are obtained and the
proposed project proceeds to construction and operation.
• Turnpike Street at Willow Street and Mill oad
The proponent will modify the existing timing and phasing
of the Turnpike Street at Willow Street and Mill Road
intersection to accommodate the anticipated growth in
background traffic along the Willow Street corridor and to
improve the 2002 No building operating LOS F condition to
LOS B f C under 2002 Build conditions . The proponent will be
responsible for the impleTnentation of the measure assuming
all necessary permits and approvals are obtained and the
proposed project proceeds to construction and operation.
• Turnpike Street at McLay's North and south-Drives
The proponent will permanently close the existing curb
cuts, McLa ' s North Curb Cut, McLay' s South Curb Cut, and
McLa 's curb cut along McLay Road and access to W. E.R.
Construction as part of the overall mitigation package.
9
• Turnpike Street_at- Getty Gas.....Station North and South Drive
The proponent will work with Getty Gas Station to
reconfigure their driveway along McLay toad in order to
facilitate the left-turn movement from the Getty Gas
Station driveways to Turnpike Street. With the
reconfigured access drive along McLay Road, the Getty Gas
Station northbound destined traffic will be able to
complete a left-turn tinder traffic signal control. The LDS
at the Getty Gas station Nortb Drive will improve from LOS
F to Los G with the South Drive improving from LOS C to B.
The proponent will be responsible for the implementation of
this measure assuming all necessary permits and approvals
are obtained and the proposed project proceeds to
construction and operation.
# The Tiirnpike street Corridor
North of the site, the Turnpike Street/Route 114 f Route 125
corridor from north of Route 125 and Route 114 intersection
opposite Merrimack College, northerly towards 1-495 and the
North Andover Mall , has heen reconstructed over the last
several years to accommodate four to five lanes of traffic.
Similarly, Turnpike street in the area of Willow Street and
Mill Road has been reconstructed to accommodate four to
five lanes of traffic. No work has been completed in the
approximate 4 , 500-foot link between Willow Street/MilI Road
and route 125 . As rioted above, the proponent will
reconstruct 1, 200 feet of Turnpike Street within this link
to a five-lane cross section. The proponent will also fund
a corridor Planning Study which would develop a Conceptual
Corridor Improvement Plan for this missing link. This Plan
will provide the basis for engineering/design of the
ultimate corridor improvement which could then be
constructed in this area. The proponent will fund the
Corridor Planing Study within six months of receiving a
waiver from the preparation of an EIR, assuming all other
necessary permits and approvals are obtained and the
proposed project proceeds to construction and operation.
Roadway improvements will likely result in more efficient traffic
movement which will .lead to a decrease in the VOC emissions on some
of the roadways links in the mesoscale study area . This decrease
in VOC emissions was not explicitly quantified as part of the 2002
Build with Mitigation analysis, but was assumed to be incorporated
in the overall 5% VMT reduction.
Benef7f.ts of Mitigation. The implementation of the mitigation
measures described in the previous two sections would result in a
10
slight decrease in the 2002 Build ne oscale 'VOC emissions from 14 . 2
kg/day to 14 . 1 kg/day, a 0. 7% decrease. Specifically, this
reduction would be achieved by a 5 decrease in the project average
daily traffic, due to the implementation of the TDM practices
listed above, and the small increase in travel, speeds and reduction
in intersection delays on parts of the mesoscale study area which
results from the roadway improvements described above. The 2002
Build with Mitigation -mesoscale VOC emissions will be 16 less than
the emissions predicted for the 1997 Existing case and 9 larder
than the emissions predicted for the 2002No-Build case.
The proposed Super Stop & Shop Supermarket will result in a SF�all
increase in mesoscale VOC emissions in the project study area,
compared to the No-Build case. All reasonable and feasible traffic
demand reduction measures have been considered by the project
proponent to reduce VOC emissions. Future Build -mesoscale VOC
emissions, with the traffic mitigation strategies in place, are
predicted be much lass than those for the Existing case.
Therefore, the proposed project will not have are adverse impact on
air quality and will be consistent with the Massachusetts SIP.

Re: Kesoscale Aix- Quality Modeling Profocaj
super Stop & Shop, Nc)x-th Andover
D �'raft XR, EOEA ,#110 3 7
Dear Mr. Grillo:
The following is a description of the mesoscale air quality
modeling protocol for the proposed Super Ste & Shop Supermarket in
North Andover, Massachusetts. This project consists of
approximately 77 , 000 ft2 of sLipernarket space on a 5 . 72 acre parcel
located on Route 114 . The project is expected to generate 7 , 256
new vehicle trips per weekday, 10, 268 new vehicle trips per
Saturday, and provide parking for 301 vehicles. The MEPA Scope for
this project requires a mesoscale air quality analysis to assess
the total Voc emissions associated with all project-related vehicle
trips. This letter presents the mesoscale nodeling protocol for
your review.
Meposcal.e. Analysis
A mesoscale analysis will be performed to estimate the total daily
emissions of volatile organic compounds {vo } in the study area .
This analysis will be performed for the following four cases:
• 1997 Existing
# 2002 Vc-Build
a 2002 Build
V 2002 Build with Mitigation.
DEP guidance in Guidelines for Performin Mesoscale Analysis of
I irect Sources (May 1991) will be followed to perform the
nesoscale analysis.
The mesoscale st0,dy area will be large enough to include all
roadway links that will potentially experience an increase of 10
in traffic due to the project and currently operate at DOS D, E, or
F or will be degraded to LOS D, E, or F. The proposed mesoscale
study area will include the following six roadway segmetnts along
Route 114 in Forth Andover
Mr. Keith Grillo - 2 T April 22 , 1997
(1) One-quarter mile south of Willow Street/Mill Road to Willow
street/Mill Road,
( ) Willow Street/Mill Road to Getter gas station south,
(3) Getty gas station south to Getty qas station north ,
(4) Getty gas station north to McLay load (site drive) ,
(5) McLay Road (site drive) to Jasmine Plaza , and
(6) Jasmine Plaza to one-quarter mile north of Jasmine Plaza.
The attached Figure I and Figure 2 illustrate the general location
of the site and the roadway links described above.
The input parameters to be used with the MOBILE5a model will be
consistent with these required by the most recent available DEP
guidance, dated May 2 , 1995 . This guidance allows credit to be
taken for an enhanced inspection and maintenance (I/M) grogram, an
anti-tampering program, Stage XI (vehicle refueling) emission
controls, and the use of Ma.88achusetts vehicle registration by age
data. MOBILEBa output will be included in the DEIR.
Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) on each roadway link will be
calculated by multiplying the annual average daily traffic volumes
by the roadway link length. VMTs for each link will than be
multiplied by MORILESa predicted VOC emission rates to determine
the VOC emissions for each roadway link. The VOC emissions for all
roadways will be summed to provide the total. daily 'VOC emissions .
These results will be presented in a table as required by DEP
guidance. Mitigation measures will be presented to reduce VOC
emissions from the 2002 Build case.
I would appreciate a letter confirming that this protocol is
acceptable to your office. Please do not hesitate to contact Me
for additional information or questions. Thank you.
Sincerely,
TECH ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.
