City of Santa Ana Environmental Checklist respective Residential Screening Level per the USEPA is arsenic. The Environmental Site Assessment determined that the level of arsenic found on site is reflective of the natural background for arsenic in soils and shallow groundwater in the region. Because this is reflective of the natural condition, the project site would not be considered a hazard related to arsenic. The testing also identified pesticides; however, the pesticide levels were found to be within Residential Screening Levels and do not create a hazardous material condition on the project site. As described previously under VI ll.b., the previously identified hazardous materials related to a UST and asbestos containing materials on site have been removed. Therefore, there are no existing hazardous materials on site that would create a significant hazard to the public or the environment e. For a project within an airport land rise plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working In the project area? No Impact. The project site is not within 2 miles of any public or private airport facility. John Wayne Airport is located about 8 miles southeast of the project site, and the Fullerton Municipal Airport is located approximately 11 miles to the northwest (Google Earth 2011). The project site is not located within the boundaries of the Airport Environs Land Use Plan ( AELUP) for john Wayne Airport or the Fullerton Municipal, which is administered by the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC). As such, the proposed project would not conflict with the ALUC or any other applicable rules and regulations as they pertain to airports and airport safety, and no impacts would result upon implementation of the proposed project. f. Fora project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? No Impact. The project site is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip. As described above under V11I.e, the closest airport facility is John Wayne Airport, which is a public airport. The project site is located outside of the ALUEP and would not be subject to the rules and regulations as they pertain to this airport. Additionally, because there are no private airstrips within the vicinity of the project, no hazard impacts related to private airstrips would occur with implementation of the proposed project. g. Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or enrergencyevacuation plan? Less -than- Significant Impact. Emergency response and evacuation is the responsibility of the City of Santa Ana Fire Department. The City of Santa Ana also maintains a Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (NHMP); however, there are no designated emergency evacuation routes or location- specific goals or policies addressing emergencies. The NHMP identifies three primary hazard risk areas, which include earthquakes, flooding, and wind storms. Direct access to the project site for emergency vehicles is provided on the western side of the site along North Fairview Street. Construction activities would occur within the project site and would not restrict access of emergency vehicles to the project site. After construction of the project, emergency access to the site would remain via North Fairview Street. The project is required to design and construct internal emergency access, and size and location of fire suppression facilities (e.g., hydrants and sprinklers) to conform to Fire Department standards. The Santa Ana Fire Department would review the development plans prior to approval to ensure adequate emergency access.
