Hazards and Hazardous Materials — Would the project a) Create a significant hazard u, the public or the env ironment X through the routine transport, use_ or disposal of hazardous materials? b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment X through reasonably foreseeable upset :md accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? c) Emit hazardous emissions or handy hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one - quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? d) Be located on a site which is includ_d on a list of hazardous X materials sites compiled pursuant to Corm/moil Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where X such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? f) For a project within the vicinity of r_ private airstrip, would the X project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted X emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or X death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where tcsidences are intermixed with wildlands? Environmental Setting The three currently vacant sites are not used to store hazardous materials. The EIR for the General Plan checked the Cal EPA website in January 31, 2008 to verify whether any hazardous materials could be found in Pleasanton. Those sites arc listed on Table 3.13 -1 of the EIR for the General Plan. That list does not identify any sites as being located in Hacienda. The City rechecked the Cal EPA in January 2011and found three sites in the Hacienda area with previous Leaking Underground Storage Tanks where cleanup had been completed and the case closed and one clean -up program site (Hacienda Cleaners) where clean up had been completed and the case closed. The project sites are located more than 2 miles from the Livermore Airport, and are outside both the General Referral Area and the Height Referral Area The project sites are infill sites in an urban area and are not located close to any wildlands. Significance Criteria The impact questions above constitute the significance criteria for this environmental topic. Draft, Subject to Revision 20 2/11/2011
