a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code§65962.5 and, as a result, create a significant hazard to the public or the environment. The SEIR evaluates the potential for development within the proposed Zone to emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school, as well as the impacts related to the potential for sites proposed for development within the proposed Zone to be included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code §65962.5. Significance Before Mitigation: Significant Significance After Mitigation: Less than Significant Finding: Changes have been incorporated into the proposed Zone that would avoid the significant environmental effect as identified in the SEIR. Mitigation Measures 4.E-7 and 4.E-8,which are incorporated into the proposed Zone, will reduce the significant environmental impact to a less-than-significant level. Facts in Support of Finding: The following facts and mitigation measures indicate that the impact will be reduced to less than significant. 1. Development of sites known to be formerly contaminated by hazardous materials or wastes would occur within the proposed Zone, and remaining and/or previously unidentified contamination may be present on or below the ground surface within the area of the proposed Zone.Encountering contaminated soil, surface water, or groundwater without taking proper precautions during site remediation within the proposed Zone could result in the exposure of construction workers or others to hazardous materials and consequently result in associated significant adverse human health and environmental impacts. 2. Implementation of Mitigation Measures 4.E-7 and 4.E-8,which are listed above under Impact 4.E-5b, and set forth in Table 6-1 of the Final SEIR and listed in the MI RP,will ensure that Impact 4.E-5 would be reduced to a less- than-significant level and are hereby incorporated by reference. Site(s) affected: All sites within the proposed Zone. (Draft SEIR, pp. 4.E-27 to 4.E-28.) 7. Public Services and Utilities Impact 4.E-9e Development facilitated by the proposed Zone could potentially require new or expanded water supply resources or entitlements. The SEIR evaluates the impact of the proposed Zone related to the need for new or expanded water supply resources or entitlements. Significance Before Mitigation: Significant 36
