statement of Facts and Findings existing project driveways. In addition, the project is required to design and construct internal access in conformance with Orange County Fire Authority standards and the California Fire Code regulations. As such, the project would not impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan, and impacts would be less than significant. The project would not result in cumulatively considerable impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials. Each past, present, and foreseeable future project must comply with all existing hazardous material regulations, which are in place to reduce the potential effects of accidental releases of hazardous materials. In addition, the project in combination with the cumulative development in the vicinity of JWA would not result in cumulatively considerable impact related to the safety of people residing or working in the proj cot area. The project would not introduce a safety hazard associated with airport operations, and would not contribute to cumulative impacts related to JWA hazards. Cumulative impacts would be less than significant, B. Findings The City finds that: The Heritage Mixed Use project would not result in a significant impact involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. The project is also not located on a site that would create a significant hazard to the public or the environment. The project would not create a significant safety hazard related to JWA operations. The project would not impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan; and the project would not result in cumulatively considerable impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials. Thus, these hazards and hazardous materials related irnpacts would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures are necessary. Hydrology and Water Quality A. Facts 1. The project would not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements during construction activities. Construction of the project would adhere to the Construction General Permit, which requires the development and implementation of a SWPPP by a. QSD to address site - specific conditions related to construction, and describe erosion and sediment control best management practices 03MPs) to reduce or eliminate sediment, pollutants adhering to sediment, and other non - sediment pollutants in storm water, as well as non -storm water discharges during construction. Adherence to the Construction General Permit would ensure that potential water quality degradation associated with construction activities would be minimized, and impacts would be less than significant. 2, Operation of the project would not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements because the project would be required to comply with the Santa Ana RWQCB MS4 Permit that involves implementation of s, project- specific WQMP based on the County's model The Heritage Mixed Use Protect '13 ESA/ 140730 Slatement of Farts end Findings September 2016
