City of Pleasanton—Vineyard Avenue Residential Project <br />15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist <br /> <br />119 <br /> <br />and Discharge Control, of the City’s Municipal Code. Based on the required <br />submittal and approval of a SWPPP, the proposed project would not violate <br />water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or otherwise <br />substantially degrade surface or groundwater quality during construction. <br />Following completion of project buildout, the site would be largely covered <br />with impervious surfaces and landscaped areas, and topsoil would not be <br />exposed. As such, the potential for on-site erosion and the associated <br />impacts to water quality would be reduced. However, the addition of <br />impervious surfaces would result in the generation of urban runoff during <br />project operations, which could contain pollutants if the runoff encounters <br />vehicle fluids on parking surfaces and/or landscape fertilizers and herbicides. <br />The City of Pleasanton has adopted the Alameda Countywide Clean Water <br />Program C.3 Stormwater Technical Guidance, which requires new <br />development projects that create or alter 10,000 sf or more of impervious <br />area to contain and treat all stormwater runoff from the project site. The <br />proposed project would create 228,835 sf of new impervious area. Therefore, <br />the proposed project would be subject to the C.3 stormwater standards, as <br />well as the requirements of the SWRCB and the RWQCB included in the City’s <br />NPDES General Permit. Compliance with such requirements would ensure <br />that impacts to water quality standards or waste discharge requirements <br />would not occur during operation of the proposed project. <br />Based on the above, impacts related to substantially altering the existing <br />drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the <br />course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a <br />manner which would result in substantial erosion, siltation, or flooding on- or <br />off-site, create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity <br />of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems, or provide substantial <br />additional sources of polluted runoff, were adequately addressed in the <br />Housing Element Update FEIR, and the proposed project would not result in <br />any effects that would require further CEQA review for this topic. <br />c) Drainage Leading to Erosion/Siltation, Flooding, Additional Sources of Polluted <br />Runoff, or Impedance of Flood Flows <br />Would the project: Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, <br />including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or <br />through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which <br />would impede or redirect flood flows?
