D. Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries. Less Than Significant Impact According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR there are no known cultural resources on the project site. The project site is currently improved. The probability for the discovery of unknown cultural resources during construction operations would be low. VI. GEOLOGY/SOILS A-l. 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? No Impact According to the Seismic Hazard Zone Map, the proj ect site is not located within a current Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Faul t Zone for fault surface rupture hazard. The surface traces of any active or potentially active faults are not known to pass directly through or extend towards the project si te. Therefore, the potential for surface rupture due to faul ting occurring beneath the site during the design life of the proposed project is considered low. A-2. Strong Seismic Ground shaking? Less Than Significant Impact The project site is situated within a highly active seismic region of southern California. A total of 38 active faults have been identified wi thin an approximate 60-mile radius of the proj ect site. The Newport/Inglewood Fault located approximately 13 miles south from the City of Santa Ana is considered to be one of the most dominant faults in regard to potential seismic shaking impacts. The project site could potentially be subj ect to a maximum credible horizontal ground acceleration of O. 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 proj ect. However, the seismic risks at the proj ect site would not be considered significantly different from other areas in the southern 8 31A-32
