Draft Environmental I mpact Report Bernal Property Phase II Specific Plan . Program 5.4: Require technical review and analysis of geotechnical studies by a qualified consulting geotechnical engineer reporting to the City, Incorporate the recommendations of the City's consulting engineer into the project design. . Program 5,5: Permit development in areas with a "high" susceptibility to geologic hazards only when geologic and soils investigations demonstrate that hazards can be mitigated by accepted engineering and construction techniques, Mitigation measures identified by the investigations shall be incorporated into the project design and subject to approval by the City's reviewing geologist/engineer. In addition, much of the topsoil at the site is a high quality growing medium, If not properly managed, these potentially productive topsoils could be lost during grading operations, However, the Specific Plan includes measures that require grading projects to segregate and save topsoils for reuse in areas to be revegetated, No adverse environmental impacts relating to adverse soil conditions would occur because the Specific Plan contains adequate provisions to mitigate these potential impacts, d. Mitigation Measures No significant effects on geology, soils, and seismicity have been identified; therefore, no mitigations are needed, 1. Framework for Analysis This section assesses the public health and safety effects of the proposed project based on review of the Bernal Property Phase I Specific Plan EIR, an online records review for hazardous materials, and a site reconnaissance conducted in October, 2005, 2. Setting The setting of the Plan Area was described in the Bernal Property Phase I Specific Plan EIR and that setting discussion covered the proposed Phase II area, This section provides an update ofthe setting addressed in the 1997/2000 EI R as it relates to hazardous materials in and near the proposed Plan Area. 76
