immediate surroundings such that the significance of a historic resource would be materially impaired
<br /> (Guidelines Section 15064.5). (Draft EIR,pp.3.4-22 to 3.4-23,Impact 3.4-1.)
<br /> Implementation of the Plan would not cause an adverse change in the significance of an archaeological
<br /> resource pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5. (Draft EIR,pp.3.4-23,Impact 3.4-2.)
<br /> Implementation of the Plan would not directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or
<br /> site or unique geologic feature.(Draft EIR,pp. 3.4-24,Impact 3.4-3.)
<br /> Development allowed by the Plan would not have the potential to disturb human remains,including those
<br /> interred outside of formal cemeteries.(Draft EIR,pp.3.4-24,Impact 3.4-4.)
<br /> Implementation of the Plan would not cause an adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural
<br /> resource,defined in Public Resources Code Section 21074 as either a site,feature,place,cultural landscape
<br /> that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape,sacred place, or object with
<br /> cultural value to a California Native American Tribe,and that is:
<br /> (a) Listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources,or in a local
<br /> register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code Section 5020.1(k),or

<br /> resource to a California Native American tribe. (Draft EIR,pp.3.4-25,Impact 3.4-5.)
<br /> 5. Energy,Climate Change,and Greenhouse Gases
<br /> Development under the Plan would not cause wasteful,inefficient,or unnecessary consumption of energy
<br /> during project construction, operation, and/or maintenance. (Draft EIR,pp. 3.5-54 to 3.5-56,Impact 3.5-
<br /> 3.)
<br /> The Plan would not conflict with the CBC Energy Efficiency Standards,the CARB passenger vehicle GHG
<br /> emissions reduction targets for 2020 and 2035, or any other applicable energy conservation regulations.
<br /> (Draft EIR,pp.3.5-57,Impact 3.5-4.)
<br /> 6. Geology and Seismicity
<br /> Implementation of the Plan would not expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects,
<br /> including the risk of loss,injury,or death involving rupture of a known earthquake fault,as delineated on
<br /> the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map or based on other substantial evidence of a
<br /> known fault; strong seismic groundshaking; seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction; and
<br /> landslides.(Draft EIR,pp. 3.6-16 to 3.6-17,Impact 3.6-1.)
<br /> Implementation of the Plan would not result in substantial soil erosion or topsoil loss. (Draft EIR,pp. 3.6-
<br /> 17 to 3.6-18,Impact 3.6-2.)
<br /> Implementation of the Plan would not locate structures on expansive soils or on a geologic unit or soil that
<br /> is unstable,or that would become unstable as a result of new development under the Plan, or potentially
<br /> result in on-or off-site landslide,lateral spreading,subsidence,liquefaction or collapse,or create substantial
<br /> risks to life or property.(Draft EIR,pp.3.6-18,Impact 3.6-3.)
