Therefore, this would be a less-than-significant-impact. b) The project will not use ground water for this project. Any existing wells will be required to be abandoned pursuant to the Alameda County Department of Environmental Health, The devel- opment of this project does not anticipate a loss of groundwater recharge potential. Therefore, this would be categorized as no-impact. c) The overall site development constitutes 591,317 square feet of building/hardscape areas, which will alter the existing drainage pattern from its existing condition. Therefore, this would be a less-than-significant-impact. d) The existing site drainage patterns will be modified by engineering the site to accommodate posi- tive site drainage. This drainage is pretreated by bio-retention facilities before it is discharged into the Arroyo Del Valle and then ultimately to San Francisco Bay.
