AUGUSTIN BERNAL MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL PROJECT DRAFT INITIAL STUDY <br /> 12956 <br />DUDEK 62 April 2022 <br />Long term use and maintenance of the proposed trail would also require minimal use of common <br />hazardous materials for equipment fuels and fluids and for vegetation management. The project <br />would not require routine transport, use, or disposal of large quantities of hazardous materials, and <br />all hazardous materials needed for maintenance would be handled in accordance with state and <br />federal regulations, consistent with the City’s existing procedures. <br />With implementation of mitigation measures and requirements identified above, impacts <br />associated with transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials would be less than significant. <br />Therefore, impacts would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. <br />b) Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably <br />foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the <br />environment? <br />Construction of the project would involve temporary use of hazardous materials, as discussed <br />above. Storage, handling, and use of these materials would occur in accordance with standard <br />construction BMPs to minimize the potential for spill or release and ensure that any such spill or <br />release would be controlled on site. Construction plans and specifications would include standard <br />construction BMPs for handling, storage, use and disposal of hazardous materials, such as <br />requirement to contain materials inside buildings or under other cover, vehicle specifications for <br />hazardous material transport and disposal, procedures for safe storage, and training requirements <br />for those handling hazardous materials. All hazardous materials would be used and handled in <br />accordance with the requirements for storage, spill prevention and response and reporting <br />procedures. Additionally, MM-HAZ-1 requires specific measures for spill prevention and <br />containment of hazardous materials on the project site during construction. Compliance with <br />standard construction specifications, the Hazardous Substances Plan, and MM-HAZ-1 would <br />ensure that impacts would be less than significant. Therefore, impacts would be less than <br />significant with mitigation incorporated. <br />c) Would the project emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, <br />substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? <br />The project site is not within 0.25 miles of a school. Therefore, the project would have no impact. <br />d) Would the project be located on a site that is included on a list of hazardous materials sites <br />compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a <br />significant hazard to the public or the environment? <br />The project site is not on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code <br />Section 65962.5 and, therefore, the project would have no impact. <br />e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, <br />within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard <br />or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area? <br />The nearest airports to the project are Hayward Executive Airport and Livermore Municipal Airports. <br />However, the project site is not within the airport land use plan area for either of these facilities.
