City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist 116 Therefore, development as proposed would not result in any environmental effects that are peculiar to the proposed project. The proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not previously identified in the Housing Element Update FEIR. b) Soil Erosion or Topsoil Loss Would the project: Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated that development consistent with the Housing Element Update would involve construction activities such as stockpiling, grading, excavation, paving, and other earth-disturbing activities that could result in soil erosion or the loss of topsoil. Soil erosion is dependent on individual site locations and conditions on-site during construction. The Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that, for construction activities that disturb one or more acre of land surface, compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction and Land Disturbance Activities (Order No. 2012-0006-DWQ)12 would require development and implementation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP would result in erosion and sediment controls, runoff water quality monitoring, proper waste disposal, implementation of approved local plans, control of construction sediment and erosion control measures, and identification of maintenance responsibilities, as well as non-stormwater management controls. In addition, compliance with CBC, applicable Municipal Code requirements, as well as goals, policies, and programs included as part of the General Plan would reduce potential soil erosion and loss of topsoil from construction-related soil disturbance. As such, potential impacts related to soil erosion and loss of topsoil would be reduced to less than significant levels. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion As discussed above, the proposed project would be subject to the NPDES General Permit (Order WQ 2022-0057-DWQ) because the proposed project would disturb one acre or more of land surface. Also discussed above, the NPDES General Permit requires a SWPPP and associated BMPs, which include erosion and sediment controls, runoff water quality monitoring, proper waste 12 The NPDES General Permit has been updated to Order WQ 2022-0057-DWQ).
