' W BENDER READY -MIX CONCRETE MANUFACTURING PROJECT
<br />Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration
<br />' 4.8 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
<br />i
<br />I a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use,
<br />or disposal of hazardous materials?
<br />' Less Than Si_anificant Impact The ,existing Bender Ready -Mix facility includes machinery and
<br />equipment that processes aggregate materials (e.g., sand and gravel) to produce concrete. The
<br />concrete is prepared, loaded into truck - mounted rotating drum mixers, and hauled away for use at
<br />construction sites. Generally, concrete is sold to independent truck contractors; however, Bender
<br />Ready -Mix also delivers concrete directly to customers through its own fleet of trucks.
<br />None of the aggregate or other raw materials utilized in the concrete production process are acutely
<br />' hazardous. The primary concern related to the existing facility is the use of cleaners, lubricants, and
<br />other chemicals required for maintenance of concrete processing equipment and on -site vehicle
<br />maintenance activities. However, given the relatively small quantities of chemicals and lubricants
<br />' utilized on -site and Federal, State, and local requirements regarding their safe transport, use, and
<br />disposal, the existing Bender Ready -Mix facility does not result in significant hazardous materials
<br />impacts.

<br />Impact ;
<br />a. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment
<br />through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous
<br />✓
<br />materials?
<br />b. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment
<br />through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions
<br />involving the release of hazardous materials into the
<br />✓
<br />environment?
<br />c. Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely
<br />hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one - quarter
<br />✓
<br />mile of an existing or proposed school?
<br />d. Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous
<br />materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code
<br />Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant
<br />✓
<br />hazard to the public or the environment?
<br />e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where
<br />such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public
<br />airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety
<br />✓
<br />hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
<br />f. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the
<br />project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working
<br />✓
<br />in the project area?
<br />g. Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an
<br />adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation
<br />✓
<br />Ian?
<br />h. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury
<br />or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are
<br />adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are
<br />✓
<br />intermixed with wildlands?
