Pleasanton Gateway— Environmental Checklist <br /> e -f) The site is located approximately seven miles from the Livermore Airport and is <br /> not likely to result in a safety hazard for the future tenants and business visitors of <br /> this development. Therefore, this would be considered no- impact. <br /> g) The proposed access driveways are sized for the fire apparatus and emergency <br /> service vehicles used by the Livermore - Pleasanton Fire Department. Fire <br /> hydrants will be added as required by the Fire Chief and the structures on these <br /> lots will include automatic fire sprinkler systems. The proposed project will not <br /> result in interference with an emergency plan or evacuation plan. Therefore, this <br /> would be considered no- impact. <br /> h) Wildlands do not exist within or adjacent to the subject site. Therefore, this would <br /> be considered no- impact. <br /> 8. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY <br /> Environmental Setting <br /> The subject property is relatively flat across its north /south and its east /west axis. <br /> Surrounding properties and uses include a variety of commercial, office and residential <br /> developments, and City park land. At its closest point, the Arroyo de la Laguna is <br /> approximately 1,000 feet (0.19 miles) from the site, and is separated from the site by the <br /> development and the 1 -680 freeway corridor. <br /> The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) was established in the <br /> Clean Water Act to regulate municipal and industrial discharges to surface waters of the <br /> U.S. Non -point sourced diffuse and originate over a wide area rather than from a definable <br /> point. Two types of non -point source discharges are controlled by the NPDES program; <br /> discharges caused by general construction activities and general quality of stormwater in <br /> municipal stormwater systems. <br /> Standards of Significance <br /> For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if the <br /> proposed project would: <br /> • Result in substantially degrading water quality or violate any water quality objectives <br /> set by the State Water Resources Control Board due to increased sediments or <br /> other contaminants generated by consumption and /or operation activities; <br /> • Result in exposing people or property to the risk of injury and damage in the event <br /> of a 100 -year flood. <br /> Page 36 of 52 Pleasanton Gateway Initial Study August 2, 2010 <br />
