One Broadway Plaza Environmental Impact Report Findings and Facts in Support of Findings 8 The proposed project will not have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption or other means because there are no wetlands on the project site. The proposed project will not interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites because there are no dispersion corridors or nursery sites on or adjacent to the project site. The proposed project will not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance because there are no significant biological resources to protect on the site. The project proponent will also replace significant trees removed from the site with new trees planned as part of the project landscaping. The proposed project will not conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation or other approved local, regional or state habitat conservation plan because there are no such plans for the project site. 4.3.4 Cultural Resources 8 The proposed project will not directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site, or unique geologic feature because there are no paleontological resources or unique geological features on the project site. 4.3.5 Geology and Soils The proposed project would not expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury or death involving: 1. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault because there are no faults on the project site. 111. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction because there are no liquefiable soils on the project site. iv. Landslides because the project site is flat and not subject to landslides. The proposed project will not result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil because standard measures will be taken to prevent soil loss from the project site during construction. The proposed proj ect will not be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, 8 Resolution No. 2004-020 Page 63 of 73
