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