Existing School Safety Certification <br />(2) Consistency Analysis <br />The school site is located in the seismically active Southern California region, which is <br />characterized by major faults and fault zones. However, the site is not located within the <br />boundaries of an Earthquake Fault Zone for fault-rupture hazard as defined by the Alquist-Priolo <br />Earthquake Fault Zoning Act and no active faults are known to pass through the property.' The <br />nearest earthquake fault zone is located approximately 8.8 miles to the southwest of the site <br />along the Newport-Inglewood fault. <br />Although the project site would be subject to ground shaking and potential damage <br />during a seismic event, the impacts would not be substantially greater than at other sites in <br />seismically active Southern California. The project would result in the construction of park- <br />related structures, playgrounds, and sports fields, which would replace existing portable <br />classroom structures on-site. All new on-site structures would be designed in accordance with <br />seismic requirements of the California Building Code (CBC), Title 24 California Code of <br />Regulations and would be required to meet the Division of the State Architect criteria for seismic <br />safety. Therefore, no new or increased risks to students regarding seismic conditions would <br />occur. <br />e. Flood or Inundation <br />(1) Regulation <br />Pursuant to Education Code sections 17212 and 17212.5, the site is not within an area of <br />flood or dam flood inundation unless the cost of mitigating the flood or inundation impact is <br />reasonable. <br />(2) Consistency Analysis <br />As illustrated on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Map Number <br />06059C0276J, the school campuses are located within Zone X, which is defined as "Areas of <br />500-year flood; areas of 100-year flood with average depths of less than one foot or with <br />drainage areas less than one square mile; and areas protected by levees from 100-year flood."' <br />Further, the site is not located within the flood inundation areas associated with the failure of <br />California Geological Survey.
