Euc~id Street Zone Change/Subdivision ER 2005-138 that the General Plan EIR characterization of the project actual potential for liquefaction si te a site specific geotechnical prepared. only provides a broad area. To determine the impacts on the proj ect report would need to be ~tigation Measure · Prior to the issuance of grading permits, the proj ect developer shall submit a site specific geotechnical report that addresses the liquefaction potential on the project site and if needed identify design recommendations to ensure the geotechnical stability of the project site. A-4. Landslides No Impact The project area is flat without any topographical relief. According to the City's General Plan EIR there are no landslide planes or slopes within the project area. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not result in adverse impacts in regards to landslides. B. Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? Potentially Significant Unless ~tigation Incorporated Erosion refers to the removal of soil from exposed bedrock surfaces by water or wind. The effects of erosion are intensified with an increase in slope, the narrowing of runoff channels and by the removal of groundcover, which leaves the soil exposed. Construction operations for the proposed project would require the excavation, removal and recompaction of onsite soils, importing of fill material, and grading. The uncovered soils on the project site could potentially resul t in erosion and sedimentation impacts to onsi te and offsite drainage facilities. This potential impact could increase during periods of rain. During construction operations the proposed project would be required to incorporate Best Management Practices to reduce potential erosion impacts to a level considered less than significant. 11 75A-30
