Section 5 <br />secondary goal of minimizing property damage and maintaining function during <br />and following a seismic event. <br />5.6.2 Thresholds of Significance <br />1, Would the project expose people or structures to potential substantial <br />adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury or death involving strong <br />seismic ground shaking? <br />2. Would the project expose people or structures to potential substantial <br />adverse effects, including the risk of foss, injury or death involving <br />liquefaction? <br />3. Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? <br />4. Would the project be located on collapsible or expansive soil creating <br />substantial risks to life or property? <br />5.6.3 Environmental Consequences <br />IMPACT GEC! -1: Would the project expose people or structures to potential <br />substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury or death <br />involving strong seismic ground shaking? <br />Alternative 1: No Federal! Action /No Project <br />Under Alternative 1, the project would not be implemented. The project area <br />would continue to be within a seismically active area and would be subject to <br />potential seismic shaking impacts. <br />Alternative 2: Proposed Project <br />The project area is located in a seismically active region and could be subject to <br />seismic shaking impacts from active faults in the region. The highest risks to the <br />project area would be from Newport Inglewood Fault, Puente Hulls Blind Thrust <br />and the Whittier Fault all which have the potential to cause moderate to large <br />earthquakes. In the event of a moderate or large earthquake, the project area <br />could experience seismic shaking impacts possibly of considerable intensity. The <br />seismic risks at the project area would be similar to other areas in southern <br />California. The components of the project would be designed to meet seismic <br />design parameters of the California Building Code to withstand potential seismic <br />shaking impacts caused by an earthquake within an acceptable level of risk. The <br />implementation of the Proposed Project would not substantially increase the risk <br />or exposure of people to significant adverse seismic shaking impacts over the <br />current condition. Compliance with the California Building Code would reduce <br />potential seismic shaking impacts to a less than significant level. <br />M Mid Basin Centennial Park 9�c'tfonYProject Final El 5-84 <br />
