and that it is possible that utility and water lines that might <br />be located along the road may be subject to disruption in the <br />event of an earthquake. In addition, the DEIR indicates at <br />page 37 that locally high levels of ground water could hamper <br />construction when water levels are high during the rainy <br />season, that construction of houses on any landslide deposits <br />within the Project area could create problems for foundation <br />stability, utility lines, and roads in the event of an <br />earthquake and that any porous and ezpansive soils could <br />adversely affect foundations and underground lines in the event <br />of an earthquake. <br />:he EIR indicates on page 37 that the Project site is <br />subject to moderate to high impacts from seismic shaking, and <br />that these impacts should be evaluated through site-specific <br />geologic investigations. A 1987 study of the property <br />demonstrated that there are no active fault traces on the site, <br />as discussed at page 36 of the DEIR. The DEIR notes at page 37 <br />that groundwater is located at a depth of eight feet in the <br />northern portion of the site, and that seepage occurs in the <br />ravines north and south of the Alviso Adobe. <br />To mitigate these impacts, one mitigation measure is <br />incorporated into the Project. Mitigation number 1, as <br />described at page 38 of the DEIR, provides that detailed <br />geotechnical engineering studies shall be submitted to the City <br />Engineer for review before approval of precise site development <br />plans. These studies would evaluate ezisting conditions and <br />7 <br />
