Responses to Environmental Checklist For CEQA Compliance No Impact According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR the project site does not contain any unique geologic features. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not result in adverse impacts to any unique geologic feature. D. Is the project located on strata 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, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? E. Is the project located on expansive soils creating substantial risks to life and property? Less Than Significant Impact According the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, the project site is located on soils that have high/very high shrink /swell potential, high corrosion potential to uncoated steel and low corrosion potential to concrete. The soil conditions on the project site would not provide a constraint that would prevent the development of the proposed project. As part of the City's development review process a geotechnical study is required to be prepared to identify geotechnical design recommendations to ensure the long-term geotechnical stability of the project site as well as the recommendations for site preparation, foundations and overall structural design specific to this project. The report will address the issues of liquefaction, differential settlement, and soils sampling and testing for expansive soils as they apply to the current project and provide recommendations for foundation design which will address any stability or expansive soils issues. Compliance with all the recommendations contained in the report, and compliance with Chapter 33 of the 2007 CBC, project impacts would be reduced to a less than significant level. F. Where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater is the soil capable of supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems? No Impact The City of Santa Ana will provide sanitary sewer services to the proposed project. Accordingly, the project will not use septic tanks or alternative wastewater systems to dispose of wastewater and no impact would occur. VII. Hazards and Hazardous Materials A. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials? B. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving likely release of hazardous materials into the environment? C. Reasonably be anticipated to emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substance or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? D. Is the project located on a site which is located on a list of hazardous material sites compiles pursuant to Government Code Section 659662.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? No Impact 75A-45
