City of Santa Ana Chapter 3. Environmental Impact Analysis • Procedures and engineered designs related to site grading, densification of subsurface soils, shallow and deep foundations, retaining walls, lateral loads, flexible pavements, and drainage. • Foundations, soils preparations, and slabs design to resist the effects of the expansive soils. • Where the project extends below the groundwater level, a mat foundation designed to resist hydrostatic pressures will be used to support tine building. The mat foundation and exterior walls will be water proofed and designed to resist hydrostatic uplift forces date to shallow groundwater and settlement of soils due to groundwater or seismic related movement. • Recommendations regarding appropriate foundation design, including type arid depth of foundation footings, bearing pressure, and lateral loads. 3.2.4 Greenhouse Gas Emissions The Met IS /MND found that the previous project would result in less- than- siginificantimpacts after implementation of rriitigation related to the generation. of greenhouse gas [GHG) emissions. Less- than-significant impacts were found to occur related to conflicts with all applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions. As discussed in The Met IS /MND, construction of the previous projectwould generate GHG emissions through the use of on -site heavy -duty construction equipment and off -site vehicle trips generated byconstruction workers as well as haul /delivery trucks that travel to and from the project site. Mobile source emissions would result from the use of construction equipment such as graders, scrapers, bulldozers, wheeled loaders, and cranes. Operational emissions would be generated by mobile, energy, waste, andwater consumption sources. The proposed projectwould also generate construction and operational GHG emissions that are expected to be similar, if not lower, as a result of shortening the construction phase from 22 months to 12 months and decreasing the amount of excavation required from 144,895 cubic yards to 34,000 cubic, yards. Therefore, the proposed project's contribution to GHG emissions would not exceed the amount previously analyzed and disclosed in The Met IS /MND. Furthermore, the proposed projectwould be required to implement all mitigation measures as proposed in The Met IS /MND, which are listed below. No additional or new significant impacts that were not previously addressed in The Met IS /MND have been identified, and the proposed projectwould not representa substantial change from the previous conclusions in The Met IS /MND. Mitigation Measure GHG -1; Prior to the issuance of building permits, the project applicant will prepare a recycling /solid waste reduction plan that includes equal provisions for both recyclinge and solid waste facilities and provides recycliIIge and solid waste disposal services that are consistent with Municipal Code Section 1.6 -37. This plan is subject to review and approval by the City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency. The City will ensure that the proposed project includes a recycling /solid waste reduction program that can achieve a minimum reduction of 50 percent by volume. Mitigation Measure GHG -2: Prior to the issuance of building permits, the City of Santa Ana Planning and Building Agency will ensure that the proposed project incorporates energy conservation measures in Title 24's 2008 Building Energy Efficiency Standards into the design of the The Meta[ South Coast 36 Addendum 75A -84
