City of Pleasanton—Vineyard Avenue Residential Project Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist 86 Investigation Report confirm the Housing Element Update FEIR’s conclusion for the site. In addition, compliance with CBSC standards would reduce impacts related to landslides to a less-than-significant level. Overall, impacts related to landslides would be less than significant and the proposed project would not result in any effects that would require further CEQA review for this topic. 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) 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 California Building Standards Code, applicable Municipal Code requirements, as well as goals, policies, and programs included as part of the General Plan, and the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan (as applicable) 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 Issues related to erosion are discussed in Section X, Hydrology and Water Quality, of this Consistency Checklist. As noted therein, the proposed project would not result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil.
