• Community exposure to these emissions.
• Compliance with air quality standards and pollution control measures.

Water

• Impact on water resources due to the proposed project.
• Evaluation of existing surface and groundwater quality and quantity.

Noise

• Current and expected noise levels.
• Strategies to mitigate noise pollution.
