City of Pleasanton–Spotorno Ranch Reduced Development Project <br />Environmental Checklist Initial Study/Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br />110 FirstCarbon Solutions <br />https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480021/Consistency Checklist/21480021 Spotorno Ranch Consistency Checklist ScreenCheck.docx <br />Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any peculiar effects and would not result in new <br />or more severe impacts related to the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials <br />beyond what was previously analyzed in the 1998 HVSP FEIR. <br />b) Risk of Upset <br />Would the project: Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably <br />foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous <br />materials into the environment? <br />The 1998 HVSP FEIR determined that chemicals used in association with past land uses on the site <br />(petroleum hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, volatile organics, metals, pesticides, and <br />herbicides) could present a health risk to workers involved in site development activities and future <br />site and off-site users if the chemicals had been released to soil and groundwater. The 1998 HVSP <br />FEIR determined that potential impacts could be mitigated by the preparation of a Phase I <br />Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) pursuant to MM I1; preparation of a Phase II ESA and <br />additional mitigation measures, if appropriate, pursuant to MM I2; inventories of the interior areas <br />of all on-site agricultural structures prior to demolition and transportation to and disposal/recycling <br />of any discovered hazardous materials at an appropriate off-site facility, pursuant to MM I4; and <br />monitoring of removal of the floors/foundations to determine whether hazardous materials spills are <br />present or suspected to have occurred in these areas, with appropriate follow-up measures, <br />pursuant to MM I5. The 1998 HVSP FEIR also required compliance with the applicable regulations to <br />prevent exposure to lead or asbestos from demolition activities. The 1998 HVSP FEIR concluded that <br />impacts would be less than significant with implementation of these mitigation measures. <br />As discussed under the previous question, construction-related activity associated with the proposed <br />project would be required to adhere to all applicable regulations. Removal and disposal of hazardous <br />materials from the project site would be conducted by an appropriately licensed contractor. Any <br />handling, transporting, use, or disposal would comply with applicable laws, policies, and programs set <br />forth by various federal, state, and local agencies and regulations, including the EPA, RCRA, and City of <br />Pleasanton Chapter 9.21 regarding construction and demolition debris. No demolition of structures is <br />proposed on the project site; therefore, the proposed project would not result in exposure to lead- <br />based paint or asbestos containing materials (ACM). <br />Hazardous materials used on-site during operations may vary, but would likely be limited to <br />fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, solvents, cleaning agents, and similar materials used for daily <br />residential operations and maintenance activities. These types of materials are common for <br />residential developments such as the project and represent a low risk to people and the <br />environment when used as intended. As such, development of the project would not create a <br />significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and <br />accident conditions involving the likely release of hazardous materials into the environment. <br />Pursuant to MM I1, a Phase I ESA was prepared for the project site on January 9, 2015, by ENGEO <br />Inc. (Appendix E). Additional mitigation would not be applicable to the proposed project. Therefore, <br />the proposed project would not result in any peculiar effects and would not result in new or more
