City of Pleasanton—Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Project Final EIR Responses to Written Comments FirstCarbon Solutions 3-55 https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480016/EIR/4 - Final EIR/21480016 Sec03-00 Responses to Written Comments.docx Response to ANONYMOUS-4 Refer to the Response to ANONYMOUS-2 for a discussion of the less than significant noise impacts associated with the proposed project. Please also refer to the Response to ANONYMOUS-3 for a discussion of pedestrian circulation hazards. As noted in Draft EIR Section 3.6; Geology, Soils, and Seismicity, page 3.6-28, the proposed project would be required to comply with Municipal Code Section 9.14 which requires construction projects to conform to the C.6 Construction Site Control Requirements in the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board’s (San Francisco Bay RWQCB) Municipal Regional Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit (MRP) (Order No. R2-2022-1108; NPDES Permit No. CAS612008). The C.6 Construction Site Control Requirements mandate construction projects that disturb more than one acre of land to file a Notice of Intent and prepare an erosion/pollution control plan or Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to obtain a Construction Stormwater General Permit. The SWPPP or erosion control plan will identify site specific best management practices (BMPs) that will implement erosion, run-on and runoff, and sediment control measures to prevent the discharge of sediments. Compliance with the City’s Municipal Code Section 9.14 would ensure that impacts related to erosion would be less than significant. In addition, the proposed project would be required to implement engineering recommendations from a design-level geotechnical study under MM GEO-1. As discussed on Draft EIR page 3.6-30, under MM GEO-1, a qualified Geotechnical Engineer would provide recommendations in site plans and design features that would be incorporated into the project grading and building plans to reduce potential impacts associated with unstable soil conditions, in accordance with the California Building Code. Thus, with incorporation of MM GEO-1, impacts related to unstable soil and subsurface conditions would be less than significant. This comment is included in the administrative record and will be provided to the decision-makers for review and consideration. The comment did not provide new, substantial evidence with respect to the disposition of significant environmental impacts evaluated in the Draft EIR. Therefore, no further response is required. Response to ANONYMOUS-5 Please refer to the Response to ANONYMOUS-4 for a discussion of erosion and drainage. Refer to the Response to ANONYMOUS-2 for a discussion of less than significant noise impacts related to the proposed project development and traffic. Please also refer to the Response to ANONYMOUS-3 for an explanation of traffic safety. Impacts related to soil erosion, unstable soil conditions, hazardous roadway design, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and noise were determined to be less than significant. Therefore, no additional mitigation measures would be required. This comment is included in the administrative record and will be provided to the decision-makers for review and consideration.
