NT MENTS INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FAIRVIEW BPIOGE REVLACEM REST TO STREET BEET) PROJECT L S A MAY 2020 (9Tx STREET To ANTx STREET) L, OLEGT SANTA ANAL CALIFOPHIA The Project area conditions listed below are not considered RECs in the ISA but may require special handling: • Historic use of the Project site includes agriculture, which is often associated with impacts from pesticide use. However, based on redevelopment of the Project area, former use of the site as agricultural land is not considered an REC. • Utility poles exist along the Project alignment. The poles consist of creosote -treated wood, which consists of preserving chemicals that protect wood from insect predation and fungal decay during use. • Several pole -mounted transformers were observed along Fairview Street. Historically, pole -mounted transformers have contained polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). • Yellow striping exists along portions of Fairview Street. It is assumed that the striping contains lead and chromium. • Materials associated with buildings and structures commonly contain hazardous materials. 3.9.2 Impact Analysis a. Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport use, or disposal of hazardous materials? Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. A significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials during the construction of the proposed Project could result from the improper handling or use of hazardous substances or an inadvertent release resulting from an unforeseen event (e.g., fire, flood, or earthquake). The severity of any such exposure is dependent upon the type, amount, and characteristic of the hazardous material involved; the timing, location, and nature of the event; and the sensitivity of the individual or environment affected. Construction of the proposed Project will require the use of limited quantities of hazardous materials, such as fuels, oils, lubricants, and solvents. The small quantities of hazardous materials that would be transported, used, or disposed of would be well below reportable quantities. The improper use, storage handling, transport, or disposal of hazardous materials during construction could result in accidental release exposing construction workers, the public, and the environment, including soil and/or ground or surface water, to adverse effects. Construction activities would follow standard construction practices and applicable California Division of Occupational Safety and Health Administration, California Health and Safety Code, and other safety regulations to minimize the risk to the public. Compliance with federal, State, and local hazardous -materials laws and regulations would minimize the risk to the public and environment presented by these materials during construction of the proposed Project, such that no significant impacts would occur.
