materials, hazardous chemicals, and biohazardous materials, will be obtained from the appropriate representatives at the hospital. Use of hazardous materials and generation of hazardous waste will be estimated based on the square footage of the medical facilities or the number of patient visits. Efforts by the hospital to minimize the generation of hazardous waste will be obtained and reported. Existing state and federal regulations governing medical facilities are extensive and will be presented. The background text of the regulatory framework and Kaiser's standard operating procedures will be presented in this section. Robert Lawson, MS, Certified Industrial Hygienist, Certified Safety Professional, and Susan Colman, Registered Environmental Assessor II, will assist EIP in this task, with peer review of studies and plans provided by Kaiser or others. Task 4.8 Biological Resources. As a developed site within an urbanized setting, the project site would not be expected to contain known or suspected sensitive species or habitats. Nevertheless, EIP will check with the Natural Diversity Database to identify sensitive species known to occur in the project vicinity and evaluate the potential for each of these species to occur on site based on the host habitat. EIP biologists will also visit the project site to confirm the presence or absence of these host habitats. Task 4.9 Housing/Population. The EIR must address the extent to which the project could induce a substantial new population into the area. Employment figures provided by Kaiser will be used to describe the anticipated change in daytime population in the area, and these figures will be compared to the City's forecasts and to ABAG's growth projections to discuss how much of the future growth mayor may not be attributable to the Kaiser project. Because there would be a net increase in employees, there would be an indirect demand for new housing in San Leandro. An estimate of the number of new households will be made, assuming that the current percentage of Kaiser employees that live in San Leandro will continue into the future and apply to new employees with the new Medical Center. The increase in housing demand will be estimated, and like the job growth, will be compared to the ABAG Projections 2005, the City forecasts, and the City's Housing Element, to determine whether the projected demand lies within the forecasts already made for new housing supply in San Leandro. EIP will also present information on changes to the number of jobs relative to employed residents as a result of the proposed project. Task 4.10 Visual Quality. The project site area is developed with the Albertson's supermarkets distribution and maintenance center and commercial structures. Surrounding development includes strip retail and light industry. The visual characteristics of the project site and vicinity will be described by EIP and supplemented extensively with photographs. Features that will be documented include: · Existing views of the project site from various vantage points Consulting Services Agreement between City of San Leandro and EIP Associates Page 33 of 44
