Responses to Environmental Checklist For CEQA Compliance Sources: Building Specifications; OCGP Safety Element; Geotechnical Report; NRCS. Would the project: A. Expose people or structures to potential substanfial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: 7.j Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist- Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning map issued by the State Geologist far the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? 1=finding: No Impact. Analysis: The project proposes the demolition of an existing sewer lift ,station, the construction of a new sewer lift station, and the construction of new sewer main lines as necessary to support the new sewer lift station facility. As such, implementation of the proposed project would not result in the generation of new residents or employees in the area which could be subject to adverse affects associated with earthquake faults. in addition, the project site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zane Map. Construction of the proposed sewer lift station and appurtenances would be required to conform to the Uniform Building Code (UBC) requirements, which include specifications to address seismic hazards. Although the lift station would be located within a region that is known for seismic hazards, including hazards associated with a rupture of the Newport-Inglewood or Elsinore Faults (located west and east of the project area, respectively), such hazards are considered to be no different from the seismic potential that characterizes Southern California as a whole. In addition, a geo#echnical report was prepared for the proposed project, and no#es have been included in the Building Specifications for the project which requires compliance with the key recommendations contained within the report. Compliance with the geotechnical report recommendations would further reduce hazards due to rupture of a known earthquake fault. Therefore, with compliance with the UBC requirements far seismic safety, and compliance with the site-specific recommendations in the project's geotechnical report, significant impacts would not occur. 2.) Strang seismic ground shaking? Finding: No Impac#. Anal Please refer to the discussion of Issue IV.A.1, above. As indicated, the proposed project would not expose new residents in the area to strong ground shaking. Although the structures proposed by the project could be subject to strong seismic ground shaking, such hazards are not considered to pose a substantial risk to the proposed structure because the structure would be constructed in conformance with UBC requirements. In addition, a geotechnical report was prepared for the proposed project, and notes have been included in the Building Specifications for the project which requires compliance with the key Page 44 of 64 75E-48
