· . Hydrology <br /> <br /> o Assemble available data from Pleasanton, EIRs for <br /> the NPID and relevant local projects, and other <br /> sources regarding runoff and storm drainage. <br /> <br /> o Describe existing drainage patterns in the vicinity <br /> of the project. <br /> <br /> o Describe hydrology impacts in terms of alteration <br /> in storm drainage patterns, increases in runoff <br /> quantity, and decreases in surface water quality <br /> which may arise from increased vehicular activity, <br /> and the project improvements. <br /> <br /> o Discuss implications of flooding for the project. <br /> Determine if the interchanges are located in the <br /> 100-year flood zone. Impact as described in <br /> Executive Order 11988 and Part 6-7-3 of the <br /> Federal Aid Highway Program Manual, Floodplain <br /> Management, will be documented. (This task as- <br /> sumes floodplain impacts are insignificant and <br /> mitigable within the context of the EA.) <br /> <br /> o Develop mitigation measures for storm drainage, <br /> water quality, and runoff control. <br /> <br /> o Provide a separate technical Appendix which com- <br /> pletes the necessary FHWA forms for this task. <br /> (This task assumes that a "Low Risk" evaluation <br /> will be adequate.) <br /> <br /> Geology/Soils <br /> <br /> o Assemble existing data from the City, USGS, Alameda <br /> County, and EIRs for the NPID and relevant local <br /> projects relative to soil types and engineering <br /> properties. (Field collection of geotechnical <br /> data is not proposed.) <br /> <br /> o Discuss existing setting in terms of soil proper- <br /> ties, erosion potential, and potential construc- <br /> tion problems. <br /> <br /> o Discuss project response to seismic activity in <br /> the local area. <br /> <br /> o Describe impacts in terms of short-term construc- <br /> tion (erosion) impacts, general soil suitability <br /> as roadbed support, geotechnical risk and other <br /> factors. <br /> <br /> <br />
