vehicular related GHG emissions. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5 that would trigger the need to prepare a recirculated FIR or other environmental document exist. The Modified Project would not result in either a new significant environmental impact or a substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified impact. (Final FIR, Clarifications to the Final EIR, Section 3.5.) 9.8 Hazards and Hazardous Materials 9.8.1 Hazardous Materials Sites Threshold: Would the Project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, p. 2-6; Initial Study, p. 36.) Facts in Support of Finding: Operation of the Project includes activities related to the multi -family residential uses of the Project, which involve use of hazardous materials including solvents, cleaning agents, paints, pesticides, batteries, fertilizers, and aerosol cans. These types of materials are not acutely hazardous and would only be used and stored in limited quantities within the Project area. The normal routine use of these hazardous materials products pursuant to existing regulations set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that include Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) (Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 261.4) would not result in a significant hazard to people or the environment in the vicinity of the Project. Therefore, the Project would not result in a significant hazard to the public or to the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous waste, and impacts would be less than significant. (Initial Study, p. 36.) This conclusion also applies, for the same reasons, to the Modified Project. 9.8.2 Hazards within One -Quarter Mile of an Existing or Proposed School Threshold: Would the Project emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one -quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, p. 2-6; Initial Study, p. 36.) Facts in Support of Finding: The closest existing school to the Project site is the Hoover Elementary School, which is located approximately 0.5 miles away from the Project site at 408 East Santa Clara Avenue. Thus, the Project site is not within one -quarter mile of a school and impacts would be less than significant. (DEIR, p. 2-6; Initial Study, p. 36.) For the reasons discussed above and the reasons discussed in the DEIR and Initial Study, impacts associated with this issue would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. This conclusion also applies, for the same reasons, to the Modified Project. 9.8.3 Site Location Threshold: Would the Project be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment?
