one of the most dominant faults in regard to potential seismic shaking impacts. The project site could potentially be subject to a maximum credible horizontal ground acceleration of 0.30g from a magnitude 6.9 earthquake along the Newport/Inglewood fault zone. A seismic event of this scale could potentially result significant damage to the proposed project. However, the seismic risks at the project site would not be considered significantly different from other areas in the southern California region. The proposed project would not involve any new construction and therefore would not increase the risk for seismic impacts. (A-3) Less Than Significant Impact soil liquefaction occurs when loose soil deposits below the water table are subjected to large ground accelerations generated from seismic events. Liquefaction is generally known to occur in saturated cohesionless soils at depths shallower than about 50-feet. According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, the project site is located in an area that is characterized with high to very high liquefaction potential. However, the proposed project would not involve any new construction and therefore would not increase the risk for liquefaction impacts. (A-4) No Impact The project site is flat without any topographical relief. According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, are no landslide planes on the project site. Therefore, implementation of the project would not result in adverse impacts in regards to landslides. there (B) No Impact The proposed project site would not involve earthwork activity. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not result in erosion or sedimentation impacts. (C) NO Impact According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, the proposed project site does not contain any unique geologic features. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not result in adverse impacts to any unique geologic feature. 6 75.A.
