<br />' slight erosion hazard. The project site has been disturbed in the past and does not <br />contain any unique geological features. The proposed project site has been <br />' deemed suitable for construction with implementation of recommendations <br />identified in the Geotechnical Investigation Report. Construction, including <br />grading, will implement standard engineering practices to minimize geotechnical <br />' constraints. Also, refer to response in Geology and Soils (A3) above. <br />D. Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building <br />' Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property? <br />Less than Significant Impact. As previously mentioned, the proposed project <br />site is located in an area consisting of Hueneme fine sandy loam characterized by <br />' slow runoff and slight erosion hazards. The project site also has the factors <br />required for liquefaction to occur. However, adhering to standard engineering <br />' practices, recommendations included in the project's Geotechnical Investigation <br />Report, the City's design criteria, and as contained in the UBC relative to <br />geologic hazards, will mimriuze the subsidence and liquefaction dangers to less <br />' than significant levels. <br />E. Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or <br />alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the <br />' disposal of waste water? <br />No Impact. Sewer access is available in the project area. No further study is <br />' necessary, and no mitigation measures are required. <br />Hazards and Hazardous Materials <br />' A. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine <br />transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? <br />Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporation. Construction of <br />' the proposed project will involve the use of materials typical for commercial <br />building construction projects. All construction materials will be transported, <br />utilized, and stored in a manner consistent with all applicable local, state, and <br />federal regulations and would not otherwise be used under hazardous conditions. <br />Furthermore, construction activities, including grading, may expose surface or <br />subsurface hazardous materials. The project site contains two temporary mobile- <br />' home structures that were converted into offices. The estimated build date of <br />these structures is around 1972, six years before the U.S. EPA prohibited the use <br />of Asbestos Containing Materials (AGMs) in 1978. It is possible that these <br />' temporary structures included AGMs, and lead-based paint in their construction <br />materials and therefore, care must be taken in preventing the dispersal of AGMs, <br />' and lead into the environment if the structures are to be demolished or removed <br />from the site. The proposed project would be constructed on previously developed <br />parcels and potential impacts associated with hazards or hazardous materials <br />' would be reduced to less than significant levels with the implementation of <br />Mitigation Measure HAZ-1 and HAZ-2. <br />' 46 <br />Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration July 2008 <br />' Harbor Medical and Retail Center ~ ~ w ~ ^ <br />
