Bringhurst LLC at 990 Sycamore Road <br /> Initial Study and Negative Declaration <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> a,e,f) Compliance with the Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program (ACCWP) <br /> National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit, including C.3 <br /> provisions and implementation of a Construction Stormwater Prevention <br /> Pollution Plan, would regulate discharges to the municipal stormwater system <br /> and reduce potential water quality impacts. The project would be required <br /> to incorporate best management practices (BMPs) for discharges resulting <br /> from the project through the building permit and construction process. As a <br /> standard condition of approval, the project would prepare and implement a <br /> Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) during construction. These <br /> measures would include but not be limited to: erosion control measures to <br /> prevent soil, dirt, and debris from entering the storm drain system and canals; <br /> grading controls (e.g., timing, hydroseeding); traffic controls to prevent <br /> erosion from construction equipment; filters (e.g., wattles) on inlets; covered <br /> storage areas; and measures to control pollutants at wash out areas. These <br /> and similar measures in the SWPPP would filter contaminants from the <br /> stormwater before entering local arroyos and, ultimately, San Francisco Bay. <br /> The project will be required, per City standards, to collect and convey all <br /> stormwater entering and/or originating from the development to the City's <br /> storm drain systems. The geotechnical report also recommends that surface <br /> runoff be designed to drain away from building foundations and flatwork, <br /> speed up infiltration, and reduce the potential for expansive soils. <br /> Each lot, as part of the design review process, would be required to have its <br /> own bioretention area to treat. manage, and slow down runoff before it <br /> enters the storm drain system. The size of the bioretention area would be <br /> required to meet the applicable requirements at the time when the new <br /> home is proposed. Therefore, these potential impacts would be less than <br /> significant. <br /> b) The project would not use groundwater to provide water for this project. The <br /> bioretention and other landscaped portions of the project site (i.e., private <br /> yards) would allow for the groundwater aquifer to be recharged after <br /> implementation of the project. Therefore, this would be categorized as a <br /> less-than-significant impact. <br /> c) Sycamore Creek runs through the southern portion of the site. In order to <br /> determine whether the proposed project would affect the water flow in <br /> Sycamore Creek, hydrology studies were prepared by LandTech, Inc7. The <br /> studies found that the proposed development would result in slight increase <br /> in surface water flow into Sycamore Creek, but the increase is not considered <br /> to be significant and would not result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or <br /> 31 <br />event landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, <br /> liquefaction and collapse on the project site.
