Discussion a-b) During construction potentially hazardous liquid materials such as oil, diesel fuel, gasoline, and hydraulic fluid would be used at the site. [f spilled, these substances could pose a risk to the en- vironment and to human health. In the event of a spill, the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Depart- ment is responsible for responding to non-emergency hazardous materials reports. The use, han- dling, and storage of hazardous materials is highly regulated by both the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Fed/OSHA) and the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA). The City has in place an F,mergency Response Plan to meet the needs should a spills or a hazardous event take place. Routine transport, use and disposal of hazardous materials are already regulated by federal, state and local regulations. "Phis project will require disclosure of any hazardous materials, the amounts anticipated and where those ma- terials will be stored or used. Therefore, this would be ales-than-significant-impact. c) The proposed Home Depot includes the storage and sale of paints, solvents, cleaners, etc., which may include hazardous substances. 'T'hese substances are transported to Home Depot in pre- filled containers and then stored and sold to the general public. This will require a hazardous materials use and storage permit issued by the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department and would not pose a risk to any existing or proposed schools proximate to this project. Therefore, this would be categorized as ales-than-significant-impact. d) The site is not included on the list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code 65962.5 (Cortese List). Therefore, this would be categorized as no-impact. e-f) The site is located approximately 2.2 miles from the Livermore Airport and is not within the proximate distance of any private airstrips. It is not likely to result in a safety hazard for the owners/operators of this development or their customers. 'T'herefore, this would be a no-impact. e) The proposed project will not result in interference with an emergency plan or evacuation plan. Therefore, this would be categorized as no-impact.
