Sexlinger Farmhouse and Orchard Residential Development Project CEQA Findings of California's emissions as a whole. (January 2014 EIR Attachment, p. 10.) As a result, impacts are less than significant. r�li�:ily� ; � y: u�� •�rva ; � • �y 1. Impact: Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials? Finding: Less Than Significant. (EIR, pp. 5 -51, 5 -52; January 2014 EIR Attachment, 7.) Analysis: Construction of the project would only involve the use of materials typical for resident construction and all materials would be transported, utilized, and stored in a manner consistent with applicable regulations. Therefore, this impact is considered less than significant. (EIR, pp. 5 -51, 5 -52; January 2014 EIR Attachment, 7.) 2, Impact: Would the project emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one - quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? Finding: Less Than Significant. (EIR, pp. 5 -51, 5 -52; January 2014 EIR Attachment, 7.) Analysis: The project site is located within a quarter mile of Sierra Intermediate School and Muir Elementary School, but it is not expected to impact the school due to the site's lack of handling or generating hazardous materials or wastes. Therefore, this impact is considered less than significant. (EIR, pp. 5 -51, 5 -52; January 2014 EIR Attachment, 7.) 3. Impact: Would the project be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? Finding: Less Than Significant. (EIR, pp. 5 -51, 5 -52; January 2014 EIR Attachment, 7) Analysis: The project site is not included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.3. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was completed for the project, which found leaking underground storage tanks within one -half mile of the site. However, these tanks were found to be in excess of one - quarter mile of the site and/or have been closed to further action by regulatory agencies. Given the distance and the local geologic setting, these are not considered of environmental concern to the project. This is a less than significant impact. (EIR, pp. 5- 51, 5 -52; January 2014 FIR Attachment, 7.) G. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY 1. Impact: Would the project substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off -site? Finding: Less Than Significant. (EIR, pp. 5 -53, 5 -54; January 2014 EIR Attachment, 7.) 14 "Exhibit A"
