SAN LEANDRO SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT DRAFT EIR <br />CITY OF SAN LEANDRO <br />HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS <br />Compliance with applicable federal, State, and local laws and regulations regarding air navigation hazards, <br />as described in Section 4.7.1.1, Regulatory Framework, of this chapter, would ensure the associated risks <br />with people residing and working in the vicinity of the Project site would be less -than -significant. <br />Significance Before Mitigation: Less than significant. <br />HAZ-7 Implementation of the Project would not impair implementation of, or <br />physically interfere with, an adopted emergency response plan or <br />emergency evacuation plan. <br />Construction of the Project would result in changes to current circulation through the site for emergency <br />vehicles, cars, buses, bicycles, and pedestrians. The Project proposes to use Marina Boulevard, with direct <br />access to Interstate 880, Monarch Bay Drive, and Fairway Drive to provide access to the Project Site. As <br />described in Chapter 4.13, Transportation and Traffic, the Marina Boulevard interchange at Interstate 880 <br />is planned to be reconfigured and signalized at both northbound and southbound ramps, and Fairway <br />Drive would be widened to three lanes from Merced Street to Miller Street. The existing roadways within <br />the Project site, Mulford Point Drive and Pescador Point, also will be reconfigured. However, no physical <br />components that would interfere with the ability to implement emergency response are proposed. Project <br />plans will include fire and emergency access through all phases of construction and operation. <br />Compliance with provisions of the 2014 California Fire Code and the 2014 California Building Code would <br />ensure that buildout of the Project would not interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or <br />emergency evacuation plan. In addition, the San Leandro General Plan contains policies and actions that <br />further ensures that new development would not conflict with emergency operations in the vicinity of the <br />Project site. <br />Compliance with applicable federal, State, and local laws and regulations regarding emergency <br />preparedness, as described in Section 4.7.1.1, Regulatory Framework, of this chapter, would ensure future <br />development under the Project would not interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or <br />emergency evacuation plan, such as the Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan, and impacts would be less than <br />significant. <br />Significance Before Mitigation: Less than significant. <br />4.7.4 CUMULATIVE IMPACT DISCUSSION <br />HAZ-9 Implementation of the Project, in combination with past, present, and <br />reasonably foreseeable projects, would result in less -than -significant <br />cumulative impacts with respect to hazards and hazardous materials. <br />With respect to hazardous materials in the environment, effects are generally limited to site-specific <br />conditions due to the fact that exposure typically is dependent on proximity to the source of the <br />hazardous material. An exception to this precept would be contaminant groundwater plumes resulting <br />from multiple sources and underlying larger areas. However, as discussed previously in section 4.7.1.2, <br />Existing Conditions, none of the four major groundwater plumes in San Leandro lies beneath or in close <br />4.7-18 DECEMBER 2014 <br />
