Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or <br />alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available <br />for the disposal of wastewater? (n/a) <br />Comment: <br />a) i. The Aiquist-Piolo Earthquake Fault The Alquist-Priolb Earthquake Fault <br />Zoning Act requires the delineation of zones along suffjcfently active and <br />well defined faults by the California, Department of Conservation, Geological <br />Survey (CGS). The project site is not within an Earthquake Fault Zone, as <br />defined by the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act, and no known <br />.active or potentially active faults exist on the sites. The nearest active fault <br />to the project sites are the Hayward fault, approximately 3 miles to the <br />northeast; the Calaveras to the northeast; and the San Andreas to the <br />southwest. Therefore, no fault rupture hazards are anticipated with project <br />implementation. , <br />II, iii. In 2002, the.U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS) predicted a 62 percent <br />probability of a magnitude 6.7 or greater earthquake occurring in the San <br />Francisco Bay Area by the year 2032. During a major earthquake on a <br />segment of one of the nearby faults, strong shaking is expected to occur at <br />the: project sites* The project sites are also within a designated liquefaction <br />hazard zone. Strong shaking during an earthquake can result in ground <br />. failure such as that associated with soil liquefaction, lateral spreading and <br />cyciic densification. Therefore, mitigation of potential liquefaction hazards is <br />required with project implementation. <br />Mitigation Measure #2: The City of San Leandro has Incorporated the <br />2009 International Buiidirtg Code into its municipal building code (Title <br />7, Chapter 7-5). The project applicant would be required to comply <br />with all applicable State and City regulations to address potential <br />geologic hazards associated with the proposed project, including <br />ground shaking and liquefaction. Geotechnical and seismic design <br />criteria must conform to engineering recommendations in accordance <br />with the seismic requirements of the 2009 California Building Code <br />(Title 24) and any amendments adopted in the San Leandro Municipal <br />Code. Additionally* because the project site is in 9 liquefaction <br />Seismic Hazard Zone, the project applicant will be required to comply <br />with the guidelines set fprth by California Geological Survey Special <br />Publication 117- <br />iv. The site is relatively flat and not located in a landslide zone. <br />b) The placement of the wind turbine will involve minimal disturbance of the <br />. site with a footprint of 20 feet by 20 feet or 400 square feet. <br />c) Compliance with Mitigation Measure #1 above will result in a less than <br />significant impact with respect to on- or off-site landslide, lateral .spreading* <br />subsidence, liquefaction or coilapse potential impacts. <br />d) Compliance with Mitigation Measure #1 above will result in a less than <br />significant ifrjpact with respect to expansive soil; <br />e) No septic tanks are needed for the proposed wind turbine. <br />• • X <br />VII.
