4 NO ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS AND LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT <br />ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS WITHOUT MITIGATION MEASURES <br />RR HAZ-2: Hazardous waste generation, transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal <br />will be conducted in compliance with Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and <br />Recovery Act (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 263), including the management <br />of nonhazardous solid wastes and underground tanks storing petroleum and other <br />hazardous substances. The projects developed under the General Plan Update will be <br />designed and constructed in accordance with the regulations of the Orange County Health <br />Care Agency, Environmental Health Division, which serves as the designated Certified <br />Unified Program Agency. <br />RR HAZ-4: Demolition activities that have the potential to expose construction workers <br />and/or the public to asbestos -containing materials or lead -based paint will be conducted <br />in accordance with applicable regulations, including, but not limited to: <br />• South Coast Air Quality Management District's Rule 1403 <br />• California Health and Safety Code (Section 39650 et seq.) <br />• California Code of Regulations (Title 8, Section 1529) <br />• California Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations (California <br />Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 1529 [Asbestos] and Section 1532.1 [Lead]) <br />• Code of Federal Regulations (Title 40, Part 61 [asbestos], Title 40, Part 763 <br />[asbestos], and Title 29, Part 1926 [asbestos and lead]) <br />RR HAZ-5: The removal of hazardous materials, such as polychlorinated biphenyls <br />(PCBs), mercury -containing light ballast, and mold, will be completed in accordance with <br />applicable regulations pursuant to 40 CFR 761 (PCBs), 40 CFR 273 (mercury -containing <br />light ballast), and 29 CFR 1926 (molds) by workers with the hazardous waste operations <br />and emergency response (HAZWOPER) training, as outlined in 29 CFR 1910.120 and 8 <br />CCR 5192. <br />RR HAZ-6: New construction, excavations, and/or new utility lines within 10 feet or <br />crossing existing high-pressure pipelines, natural gas/petroleum pipelines, or electrical <br />lines greater than 60,000 volts will be designed and constructed in accordance with the <br />California Code of Regulations (Title 8, Section 1541). <br />Explanation of the Rationale: The existing buildings on the project site were constructed <br />between 1971 and 1973 and it is likely that the building materials contain asbestos -containing <br />materials (ACMs), lead -based paint, and polychlorinated biphenyls. Surveys, testing, and <br />abatement would be required prior to demolition of the existing buildings, in addition to proper <br />removal and disposal, and would be conducted in accordance with the existing SCAQMD Rule <br />1403, California Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and California Health and Safety <br />Code. With compliance with relevant regulations and requirements, project construction activities <br />would not expose people to a substantial risk resulting from the release of hazardous materials <br />into the environment. Impacts would be less than significant. <br />During operation, the Project would include use, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials <br />typically associated with residential and commercial uses, including restaurants and retail stores. <br />City of Santa Ana The Village Santa Ana Specific Plan Project <br />August 2025 CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations <br />4-16 <br />
