City of San Leandro 311 MacArthur Boulevard Residential Project 52 Significant Impact Less than Significant or Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated No Impact Analyzed in the Prior EIR g. Expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires? □ ■ □ ■ Analysis in the General Plan EIR The General Plan EIR discusses hazardous materials impacts in Section 4.7 and finds that impacts would be less than significant with no mitigation measures required. The following describes the analysis included in the General Plan EIR and provides a streamlined review to determine whether there would be project-specific impacts that are either 1) peculiar to the project or the parcel on which the project is located; 2) were not previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR as significant effects; 3) are potentially significant off-site impacts and cumulative impacts that were not previously discussed in the General Plan EIR; or 4) are now determined to have a more severe impact than discussed in the General Plan EIR due to substantial new information. Project-Specific Impacts a. Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? b. Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? The General Plan EIR found this impact to be less than significant because new development in the city would be regulated by federal, state, and local hazardous waste transport laws and regulations. Residential uses, such as those proposed by the project, typically do not use or store large quantities of hazardous materials. Potentially hazardous materials such as fuels, lubricants, and solvents would be used by heavy machinery during construction of the project. The project would be required to comply with all applicable 2035 General Plan policies and federal, state, and local regulations to eliminate potential significant hazards to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. During construction, it is anticipated that limited quantities of miscellaneous hazardous substances, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, hydraulic fluid, solvents, oils, paints, would be brought onto the site. Construction contractors would be required to comply with applicable federal and state environmental and workplace safety laws. Additionally, the construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) includes best management practices (BMP) to control accidental spills of equipment fluids and measures for cleanup. Adherence to these regulatory requirements and the SWPPP would ensure that this impact would be less than significant. Additionally, the existing buildings on the site have the potential to contain asbestos or lead-based paints (AEI Consultants
