3.05.d. Would the proposed project have a potentially significant adverse impact on <br /> ground water quality? <br /> <br /> Pollutants created by pav~nent runoff, and pesticides and insecticides would be filtered <br /> through a series of natural filtration systems such as the storm water detention basin, bio- <br /> swales, cultivated stream, and slotted curbs. Please refer to Section 2.0, Item G for <br /> additional discussion regarding this item. Therefore the impact on ground water quality <br /> is not expected to be significant. <br /> <br /> X <br /> May be Insignificant Insignificant <br /> Significant if Mitigated <br /> <br />3.06. Plant and Animal Impacts 0gffeet on Existing Ecosystem, Rare or Endangered <br /> Species, etc.) <br /> <br /> As stated in the Phase I Bemal EIR, the project site consists of hay fields, providing <br /> seasonal cover and forage and nesting areas for a variety of wildlife species. No Project <br /> area trees, shrubs or riparian habitat presently exist. Small mammals such as gophers, <br /> moles, jackrabbits, squirrels, and mice use this area, as well as blackbirds, scrub jays, <br /> magpies, and other birds. There is no evidence that endangered species known to exist <br /> within the Pleasanton area are found on the Project site. <br /> <br /> Development of the site would eliminate areas of agricultural grassland and replace it <br /> with a street, paved parking areas, pathways, plaza areas, small accessory buildings, and <br /> turf areas. Native plant species would be planted in most areas not required for turf play <br /> areas. <br /> <br /> Staff does not beheve the project will have a significant negative impact on the existing <br /> ecosystem. <br /> <br /> X <br /> May be Insignificant Insignificant <br /> Significant if Mitigated <br /> <br /> 3.06.a.
