City of Pleasanton <br />Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 <br /> <br />62 <br />and State regulations related to flooding and hazardous materials use and storage, including PMC <br />Chapter 9.16, Hazardous Materials Storage, and CBC standards for construction within flood-prone <br />areas.73 Furthermore, any projects associated with implementation of the CAP 2.0 located in flood- <br />prone areas must comply with PMC Chapter 17.08, Flood Damage Prevention, which provides <br />requirements to mitigate potential flood risks.74 Therefore, the CAP 2.0 would result in a less-than- <br />significant impact related to flooding and inundation resulting in release of pollutants. <br />e. Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or <br />sustainable groundwater management plan? <br />The CAP 2.0 strategies and actions would not include activities that would result in the direct <br />extraction of groundwater. Rather, the CAP 2.0 encourages reduced water consumption and <br />expanded green stormwater infrastructure within Pleasanton, which would aid in groundwater <br />recharge and reduced surface water runoff and related water quality issues. The CAP 2.0 would not <br />interfere with or obstruct implementation of water quality standards or waste discharge <br />requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality. Therefore, the <br />CAP 2.0 would result in no impact related to consistency with a water quality control plan or <br />sustainable groundwater management plan. <br />Cumulative Impacts <br />The cumulative projects scenario is overall General Plan buildout for Pleasanton in 2025 plus <br />Pleasanton population projections through 2045. CAP 2.0 projects, in combination with other <br />cumulative projects anticipated under Pleasanton General Plan buildout, are not anticipated to <br />contribute to cumulative hydrology and water quality impacts with adherence to applicable <br />Pleasanton General Plan policies and applicable local, State, and federal regulatory requirements. <br />Implementation of the CAP 2.0 would not contribute to an increase in growth and development in <br />Pleasanton but could result in small-scale infrastructure development and building retrofit projects, <br />including new EV charging infrastructure and energy and water efficiency upgrades. As such, <br />implementation of the CAP 2.0 and other cumulative projects could have incremental impacts <br />related to hydrology and water quality, such as erosion and sedimentation due to construction <br />activities. However, the CAP 2.0’s contribution to such impacts would be minor and temporary, and <br />the CAP 2.0 would have the long-term effect of reducing water use and improving sustainable <br />stormwater management. Therefore, implementation of the CAP 2.0 would result in a less-than- <br />significant cumulative impact related to hydrology and water quality. <br /> <br />73 Pleasanton, City of. 2021.
