City of Pleasanton Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 and State regulations related to flooding and hazardous materials use and storage, including PMC Chapter 9.16, Hazardous Materials Storage, and CBC standards for construction within flood -prone areas.73 Furthermore, any projects associated with implementation of the CAP 2.0 located in flood - prone areas must comply with PMC Chapter 17.08, Flood Damage Prevention, which provides requirements to mitigate potential flood risks.74 Therefore, the CAP 2.0 would result in a less -than - significant impact related to flooding and inundation resulting in release of pollutants. e. Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan? The CAP 2.0 strategies and actions would not include activities that would result in the direct extraction of groundwater. Rather, the CAP 2.0 encourages reduced water consumption and expanded green stormwater infrastructure within Pleasanton, which would aid in groundwater recharge and reduced surface water runoff and related water quality issues. The CAP 2.0 would not interfere with or obstruct implementation of water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality. Therefore, the CAP 2.0 would result in no impact related to consistency with a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan. Cumulative Impacts The cumulative projects scenario is overall General Plan buildout for Pleasanton in 2025 plus Pleasanton population projections through 2045. CAP 2.0 projects, in combination with other cumulative projects anticipated under Pleasanton General Plan buildout, are not anticipated to contribute to cumulative hydrology and water quality impacts with adherence to applicable Pleasanton General Plan policies and applicable local, State, and federal regulatory requirements. Implementation of the CAP 2.0 would not contribute to an increase in growth and development in Pleasanton but could result in small-scale infrastructure development and building retrofit projects, including new EV charging infrastructure and energy and water efficiency upgrades. As such, implementation of the CAP 2.0 and other cumulative projects could have incremental impacts related to hydrology and water quality, such as erosion and sedimentation due to construction activities. However, the CAP 2.0's contribution to such impacts would be minor and temporary, and the CAP 2.0 would have the long-term effect of reducing water use and improving sustainable stormwater management. Therefore, implementation of the CAP 2.0 would result in a less -than - significant cumulative impact related to hydrology and water quality. 73 Pleasanton, City of. 2021 Pleasanton Municipal Code Chapter 9.16.
