Finding <br /> Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into,the project which mitigate or avoid the <br /> significant effects on the environment. <br /> Facts in Support of Finding <br /> The City of Pleasanton has adopted the following measures which will reduce potential impacts related to <br /> fill settlement to a less-than-significant level: <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.4-6a: The differential fill thickness across a lot should be less than 15 feet. Lots <br /> requiring local subexcavation of soil and replacement with engineered fill to achieve this limit should be <br /> identified on the final corrective action grading plan. <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.4-6b: Following clearing and stripping, all areas to receive fill, slabs-on-grade, or <br /> pavement should be scarified to a depth of at least 12 inches, moisture conditioned, and compacted to the <br /> requirements for engineered fill. <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.4-6c: Site soils and bedrock used for engineered fill shall have organic content of <br /> less than 3 percent. Rocks greater than 6-inches in size shall not be placed at depths greater than 10 feet <br /> from finished grade. Rocks greater than 18 inches in size should be broken down such that their <br /> maximum dimension is less than 12 to 18-inches, or placed in non-structural fills below slopes or under <br /> one of the proposed detention basins. Alternatively, these rocks could be used in landscaping and/or creek <br /> restoration projects. <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.4-6d: Engineered fills shall be compacted to the specifications stated in the <br /> geotechnical framework. Over compaction of expansive materials(with a plasticity index of greater than <br /> 12)should be avoided within the upper five feet of building areas. All fills shall be placed in lifts not <br /> exceeding 12 inches, or the depth of penetration of the compaction equipment used, whichever is less. <br /> HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY(SECTION 4.5) <br /> Significant Impact <br /> Impact 4.5-4: The proposed project would incrementally increase surface runoff from additional <br /> impervious surfaces and provide and additional source of polluted runoff, but would not exceed the <br /> capacity of the storm drain system. <br /> Finding <br /> Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into,the project which mitigate or avoid the <br /> significant effects on the environment. <br /> Facts in Support of Finding <br /> The City of Pleasanton has adopted the following measures which will reduce potential surface runoff <br /> impacts to a less-than-significant level: <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.5-4: The project sponsor, working with the Alameda Countywide Clean Water <br /> Program, shall implement a program to educate buyers about the potential water quality effects of <br /> stormwater pollution and effective measures to prevent the generation of stormwater pollutants from <br /> residential land uses. At a minimum, the program shall address stormwater pollutants such as hazardous <br /> materials commonly used in household applications; spilled oil, fuel, and other fluids such as antifreeze <br /> from vehicles; construction debris; landscape chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, and copper-based <br /> algaecides; used packing materials; paint products; trash and litter; excess irrigation; and car washing. <br /> LUND RANCH 11(PUD-25)RESIDENTIAL PROJECT 13 FINDINGS <br />
