Alyssa Barnett, Urban Crossroads, Inc. JOB NO: 16241-11 Energy Tables SURF FARM ENERGY TABLES Mr. Adam Cleary, The following Energy Tables were prepared for the proposed Surf Farm development (referred to as “Project”). The Project is a 15-acre site located at 3100 Irvine Avenue in the City of Newport Beach. To the west and south of the site are residential uses, to the east are commercial uses, and to the north is the Newport Beach Golf Course. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Project would develop a 5-acre lagoon, a 50,341 square foot (SF) three-story clubhouse with 18,137 SF of basement storage and restroom, a 9,432 SF athlete accommodation building with 1,624 SF of ancillary restroom and storage space, 351 parking stalls, and 3 pools, totaling a gross floor area of 79,534 SF. CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT ELECTRICITY USAGE ESTIMATES Based on the 2024 National Construction Estimator (1), the typical power cost per 1,000 square feet (sf) of building construction per month is estimated to be $2.66. Table 1 estimates the total power cost of the on-site electricity usage during the construction of the proposed Project to be approximately $3,808.09.

The SCE’s general service rate schedule was used to determine the Project’s electrical usage. As of October 1, 2024, SCE’s general service rate is $0.16 per kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity for commercial services (2). As shown on Table 4-3, the total electricity usage from on-site Project construction related activities is estimated to be approximately 23,801 kWh. TABLE 2: PROJECT CONSTRUCTION ELECTRICITY USAGE Land Use Cost per kWh Project Construction Electricity Usage Clubhouse $0.16 20,492 Athlete Accommodation Building 3,309 CONSTRUCTION ELECTRICITY USAGE 23,801 CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT FUEL ESTIMATES Fuel consumption estimates are presented in Table 3. The aggregate fuel consumption rate for all equipment is estimated at 18.5 hp‐hr‐gal., obtained from California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2018 Emissions Factors Tables and cited fuel consumption rate factors presented in Table D‐24 of the Moyer guidelines (3). For the purposes of this analysis, the calculations are based on all construction equipment being diesel‐powered which is standard practice consistent with industry standards. Diesel fuel would be supplied by existing commercial fuel providers serving the City and region. As presented in Table 3, Project construction activities would consume an estimated 68,414 gallons of diesel fuel.

Data regarding Project related construction worker trips were based on CalEEMod 2022 model defaults utilized within the AQIA. Vehicle fuel efficiencies for LDAs were estimated using information generated within the 2021 version of the EMFAC developed by the CARB. Table 4 provides an estimated annual fuel consumption resulting from the Project generated by construction worker trips. Based on Table 4, it is estimated that 6,973 gallons of fuel (gasoline) will be consumed related to construction worker trips over the course of the Project construction period. CONSTRUCTION VENDOR/HAULING FUEL ESTIMATES It is assumed that 50% of all vendor trips are from Medium-Heavy-Duty-Trucks (MHDT), 50% are from Heavy-Heavy-Duty Trucks (HHDT), and 100% of hauling trips are HHDT. These assumptions are consistent with the CalEEMod 2022 defaults utilized within the within the AQIA. Vehicle fuel efficiencies for MHDTs and HHDTs were estimated using information generated within EMFAC2021. Table 5 shows the estimated fuel economy of MHDTs and HHDTs accessing the Project site. Based on Table 5, fuel consumption from construction trips will total approximately 4,035 gallons of fuel (diesel) over the course of the Project construction period. 1 Vehicles under the LDT1 category have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of less than 6,000 lbs. and equivalent test weight (ETW) of less than or equal to 3,750 lbs. 2 Vehicles under the LDT2 category have a GVWR of less than 6,000 lbs. and ETW between 3,751 lbs. and 5,750 lbs.
