HARBOR BLVD. MIXED USE TRANSIT CORRIDOR PLAN FINAL FIR <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />5. Environmental Analysis <br />HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS <br />Older tanks are typically single walled steel tanks. Many of these have leaked as a result of corrosion, <br />punctures, and detached fittings. As a result, the State of California required the replacement of older tanks <br />with new double walled fiberglass tanks with flexible connections and monitoring systems. UST owners were <br />given 10 years to comply with the new requirements�until December 22, 1998. However, many UST owners <br />did not act by the deadline, so the state granted an extension till January 1, 2002. The California Regional <br />Water Resources Control Board (RWQCB), in cooperation with the Office of Emergency Services (OES), <br />maintain an inventory of leaking USTs in a statewide database. <br />Califomia Code ofRegrulations <br />Title 22, Division 4.5, of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) sets the requirements for hazardous waste <br />generators; transporters; and owners or operators of treatment, storage, or disposal facilities. These regulations <br />include the requirements for packaging, storage, labeling, reporting, and general management of hazardous <br />waste prior to shipment. In addition, the regulations identify standards applicable to transporters of <br />hazardous waste. These regulations specify the requirements for transporting shipments of hazardous waste, <br />including manifesting, vehicle registration, and emergency accidental discharges during transportation. <br />California Fire Code <br />The 2010 California Fire Code (CCR Title 24 Part 9) sets requirements for building materials and methods <br />pertaining to fire safety and life safety, fire protection systems in buildings, emergency access to buildings, and <br />handling and storage of hazardous materials. <br />California Health and Safety Code <br />Sections 17920.10 and 105255 of the California Health and Safety Code require that lead be contained during <br />demolition activities. <br />Regional <br />South Coast-Air Quality Management Distn�ctRule 1403 <br />South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1403 governs the demolition of buildings <br />containing asbestos materials. Rule 1403 specifies work practices with the goal of minimizing asbestos <br />emissions during building demolition and renovation activities, including the removal and associated <br />disturbance of asbestos- containing material (ACM). The requirements for demolition and renovation <br />activities include asbestos surveying, notification, ACM removal procedures and time schedules, ACM <br />handling and cleanup procedures, storage, and disposal requirements for asbestos- containing waste materials. <br />Should ACM be identified, Rule 1403 requires that ACM be safely removed and disposed of, if possible. If it <br />is not possible to safely remove ACM, Rule 1403 requires that safe procedures be used to demolish the <br />building with asbestos in place without resulting in a significant release of asbestos. <br />Environmental Conditions <br />As shown in Figures 3 -1, Regional Location, and 3 -2, Local Vicinity, the project area generally includes parcels <br />adjacent to Harbor Boulevard between Westminster Avenue and Lilac Way and parcels along Westminster <br />October 2014 Page 5.6 5 <br />
