The design of the proposed park shall generally avoid any features that would require removal of the existing cover or excavation into the landfill materials. Should excavation into the landfall materials be required (e.g., for utilities or building foundations), the excavations shall be made under a worker health and safety plan prepared bv a Certified Industrial Hygiemst. All development projects on lands adjacent to the landf~l shall conduct a gas sun,ev to determine if significant gas migration from the landf'~l is affecting the development site. The results of the survey shall be used to determine if standard construction of structures is appropriate or if non-standard foundation/bui]ding ventilation systems should be required. SIGNIFICANT EFFECT Impact 4.9-4: Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields. The existing 60-kV electrical powerline in the central portion of the project site could present a possible health risk related to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) to students at the proposed elementary school. This would be considered a potentially significant impact. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of Finding The City of Pleasanton has adopted the following measures which will reduce potential public health and safety impacts to a less-than-significant level: Mitigation Measure 4.9-4: Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields. The California Department of Education has adopted recommended setbacks for schools from powerline easements. The proposed school shall conform with the guidelines established by the California Department of Education for setback of schools from electrical power line easements. SIGNIFICANT EFFECT Impact 4.9-5: Increased Wildfire Risk. The proposed project would increase the number of structures and population in the Specific Plan area. More intensive use of the project site could result in the increased potential for wildfires, potentially causing damage to structures, destruction of habitat, and personal injury. This would be considered a potentially significant impact. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of Finding The City of Pleasanton has adopted the following measures which will reduce potential public health and safety impacts to a less-than-significant level: Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan Draft EIR -28- Findings
