Impact M2: Accidental Releases -Some of the new light industrial uses accommodated by the General Plan, such as biotechnology, may handle hazardous materials, resulting in an increase in risk levels at some locations. Proposed General Plan policies may not fully mitigate Impact M2 to a level of insignificance. DEIR pp. IILM- 13-IILM-15. Mitigation Measure M2: On an ongoing basis, the City of San Leandro Environmental Services Division should coordinate with other City and County Departments (including Planning, Business Development, and Fire) to confirm that new businesses in San Leandro have complied with appropriate hazardous materials standards, and filed required plans and documents. Findin~• Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant effect identified in the EIR. Rationale for Finding. The mitigation measure will avoid increased potential for accidental releases of hazardous materials by ensuring that appropriate standards and policies are enfoxced with respect to new businesses. Impact M4: Increased Exposure to Existing Contamination -Adoption of the Plan would promote redevelopment of older industrial sites, some of which may have residual soil and/or groundwater contamination from previous site activities. Proposed General Plan policies may not fully mitigate Impact M4 to a level of insignificance. DEIR pp. III. M-16---IILM-19. Mitigation Measure M4: Prior to redevelopment of sites where hazardous soil and/or groundwater may be present, the City shall require a complete Phase I environmental assessment to evaluate potential sources of contamination. Additional environmental assessments and clean-up plans should be prepared as needed based on the findings. Finding, Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant effect identified in the EIR. Rationale for Finding. The mitigation measure will avoid increased potential for exposure to existing contamination by requiring specified environmental studies and appropropriate remediation measures.
