<br />proposed general plan element amendments would not increase the <br />risks for ground rupture impacts or landslide impacts. <br /> <br />A-2. Strong Seismic Ground shaking? <br /> <br />A-3. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? <br /> <br />No Impact <br /> <br />The City of Santa Ana is situated within a highly active seismic <br />region of southern California. A total of 38 active faults have <br />been identified within an approximate 60-mile radius of the <br />City. The Newport/rnglewood Fault located approximately 7 miles <br />south from the City of Santa Ana is considered to be one of the <br />most dominant faults in regard to potential seismic shaking <br />impacts. Along the Newport/rnglewood Fault an earthquake on the <br />magnitude of 6.9 could potentially occur. A seismic event of <br />this scale could result in significant damage to the City. <br />Additionally, according to the General Plan Land Use Element <br />ErR, the potential for liquefaction hazards in the City ranges <br />from very low to very high. However, the seismic risks in Santa <br />Ana are not considered significantly different from other areas <br />in the southern California region. Approval of the proposed <br />general plan element amendments would not increase the risk for <br />seismic shaking impacts or liquefaction impacts, in that the <br />proposed amendments would not involve the construction of new <br />structures that would increase the risk for seismic shaking <br />impacts or seismically induced liquefaction impacts. <br /> <br />A-4. Landslides <br /> <br />No Impact <br /> <br />According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element ErR there <br />are no landslides within the City. Therefore, approval of the <br />proposed general plan element amendments would not increase the <br />risks for landslide impacts. <br /> <br />B. <br /> <br />Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the <br />loss of topsoil? <br /> <br />No Impact <br /> <br />Approval <br />increase <br />impacts, <br /> <br />of the proposed general plan amendments would not <br />the potential for soil erosion or sedimentation <br />in that approval of the proposed amendments would not <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br />150~S <br />
