AUGUSTIN BERNAL MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL PROJECT DRAFT INITIAL STUDY The project would result in no impact associated with a safety hazard or noise exposure associated with airport operations. f) Would the project impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? The project would construct a new mountain bike trail within an existing community park to replace an existing user-created trail. As discussed in Sections 3.7(a) and 3.16(a), the project would not result in a substantial increase in trail use at the park and as discussed in Section 3.17(b), the project would not generate a substantial volume of traffic that could impede traffic flows during an emergency response or evacuation event.Additionally,the project does not include and would not require any modifications to existing roadways that could impede emergency response or evacuation activities. Construction and operation of the project would not affect an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan; therefore, the project would have no impact. g) Would the project expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss,injury,or death involving wildland fires? The project is located adjacent to an urbanized area on a site surrounded with existing community park.The project site currently supports a variety of natural habitats, including oak woodlands and chaparral. Trails throughout the park, including the user-created trail that the proposed project would replace, are frequently used by the general public. The City currently performs vegetation treatments within the Community Park to maintain defensible space requirements and reduce the potential for wildfire and would continue to perform these treatments following development of the new trail.The proposed trail would not increase the risk of wildfire ignition.As discussed in Sections 3.7 and 3.16, the project would not result in a substantial increase in trail use,thus it would not substantially increase the number of people who may be exposed to hazards if a wildfire occurred in the project vicinity. Thus,the project would have a less than significant impact associated with increases in people's exposure to wildfire hazards and risks. Mitigation Measures MM-HAZ-1 Management of Hazardous Materials During Construction. The following measures shall be implemented prior to and during construction and shall be incorporated into project plans and specifications. • All equipment shall be inspected by the contractor for leaks prior to the start of construction and regularly throughout project construction. Leaks from any equipment shall be contained and the leak remedied before the equipment is again used on the site. • Best management practices for spill prevention shall be incorporated into project plans and specifications and shall contain measures for secondary containment and safe handling procedures. 12956 DUDEK 63 April 2022
