City of Pleasanton—Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Project <br />CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations <br /> <br /> <br />40 FirstCarbon Solutions <br />Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480016/FOF/21480016 Pleasanton Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Project FOF.docx <br />during construction that intrude into the Claremont shale and Monterey formations during <br />construction would constitute a potentially significant impact on paleontological resources. (Draft <br />EIR, pp. 3.6-32 to 3.6-22). Therefore, implementation of MM GEO-6a through MM GEO-6d (see <br />Errata, page 5-4 to 5-7) would be required. (Draft EIR, p. 3.6-33). Through implementation of MM <br />GEO-6a through MM GEO-6d, impacts on paleontological resources would remain less than <br />significant. <br />The Lead Agency finds that MM GEO-6a through MM GEO-6d are feasible, are adopted, and will <br />further reduce impacts related to paleontological resources. Accordingly, the Lead Agency finds that, <br />pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a)(1) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15091(a)(1), <br />changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the proposed project that <br />mitigate or avoid the potentially significant impacts as identified in the EIR. Therefore, impacts <br />associated with paleontological resources would be less than significant with mitigation <br />incorporated. <br />1.6.13 - Impact HAZ-1: Removal and Disposal of Hazardous Materials During <br />Construction <br />Impact HAZ-1: The proposed project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the <br />environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. <br />Findings: Less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated. (Draft EIR, p. 3.8-18). <br />Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project <br />which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects as identified <br />in the EIR. (CEQA Guidelines § 15091(a)(1)). <br />Mitigation Measures <br />MM HAZ-1 The applicant shall retain a licensed professional to conduct asbestos and lead paint <br />surveys. Prior to the issuance of demolition permits for the two existing residences <br />and associated structures, the applicant shall demonstrate removal of any suspect <br />asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint to the satisfaction of the City. <br />Facts in Support of Findings: Asbestos is a concern during demolition of structures that were built <br />prior to 1980. County Assessor’s Records indicate that the existing Lester Family properties, including <br />the house at 11021 Dublin Canyon Road and the house at 11033 Dublin Canyon Road, were <br />constructed in 1918 and 1966, respectively. (Draft EIR. p. 3.8-17). To ensure required compliance <br />with all applicable hazardous material laws and regulations, including the Resource Conservation and <br />Recovery Act of 1976, the California Code of Regulations, and Municipal Code Chapter 9.21, <br />Construction and Demolition Debris, the proposed project would be required to implement MM <br />HAZ-1. Through implementation of MM HAZ-1, the proposed project would conduct pre-demolition <br />asbestos and lead paint surveys prior to demolition activities in order to safely remove and dispose <br />of any such materials in accordance with State standards. (Draft EIR, p. 3.8-17). Therefore, <br />implementation of MM HAZ-1 would ensure that impacts related to the removal and disposal of <br />hazardous materials during construction remains less than significant. <br />   <br /><br /> <br /> <br />
