City of Santa Ana <br />California Environmental Quality Act <br />Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration <br />future geotechnical studies, will be implemented during design and construction. Therefore, no <br />adverse impacts are anticipated. <br />e) The Project will not require the installation of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems, <br />as it does not involve the construction of habitable structures or restroom facilities. Therefore, no <br />impact is anticipated. <br />f) A Paleontological Assessment was conducted by the Western Science Center in October of 2024 and <br />found that the geologic units underlying the project area are mapped as alluvial deposits from the <br />Quaternary period (Pleistocene -Holocene). These Quaternary alluvial units are considered <br />fossiliferous and highly sensitive from a paleontological perspective. While no fossil localities have <br />been identified within the Project area or within a 1-mile radius, the potential for encountering <br />subsurface fossils remains. Since the Project includes earthmoving activities and is expected to <br />extend into the sensitive sediments, mitigation measures PALEO-1 through PALEO-3 will be <br />incorporated into reduced impacts to less than significant. <br />-22CWE7 <br />- <br />
