However, it was determined that development facilitated by the Housing Element <br />would comply with all applicable regulations for management of hazardous materials during the <br />construction phase of development. These policies include Title 22 and 26 of the California Code of <br />Regulations governing hazardous material transport, Title 8 Standards for handling asbestos and lead <br />during demolition/construction, and Title 19 of the California Code of Regulations and Chapter 6.95 <br />of the Health and Safety Code for site remediation. <br />In addition to the hazardous materials risks noted above, the Prior EIR recognized that new <br />residential development may routinely use commonly available hazardous substances, like fuels, <br />lubricants, and household cleaners. However, it was determined that home use of common <br />household hazardous materials typically consists of limited quantities and is generally considered to <br />be an acceptable risk to the environment. <br />Lastly, the Prior EIR recognized that demolition of existing structures on the potential sites for <br />rezoning could release other hazardous materials, such as asbestos and lead-based paint, and <br />expose construction workers, the public, or the environment to hazardous materials. However, the <br />Prior EIR identified measures established by the Clean Air Act and enforced by the Occupational <br />Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that certified contractors are required to use to contain, <br />store, and dispose of these hazardous materials in a manner which limits exposure. Therefore, due <br />to a limited potential for exposure of the people or the environment to hazardous materials, largely <br />as a result of compliance with federal, State and local regulations, the Prior EIR found that impacts <br />related to the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials would be less than <br />significant. <br />Analysis of Proposed Project <br />The proposed project may utilize hazardous materials such as fuels or solvents during the <br />construction phase of the project. During the operations phase, residents may also routinely use <br />commonly available hazardous substances, like fuels, lubricants, and household cleaners. As <br />discussed above, potential hazards arising from the transport, use, and disposal of these hazardous <br />materials would be minimized and regulated in accordance with local, State, and federal policies, <br />regulations, and standards. Impacts would continue to be less than significant, and no mitigation is <br />necessary, consistent with the Prior EIR. There are no proposed changes, new circumstances, or new <br />information that would cause new or more severe impacts. <br />Therefore, there are no environmental effects that are peculiar to the proposed project or the <br />parcels on which the proposed project would be located. Impacts would be less than significant and <br />the proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not <br />previously identified in the Prior EIR. <br />b) Hazardous Material Upset or Accident <br />Prior EIR Conclusions <br />The Prior EIR found that construction of residences on the Housing Element’s potential rezoning sites <br />would disturb soils that could be contaminated from past releases of hazardous substances into the
