POTENTIALLY <br />ISSUES <br />POTENTIALLY <br />SIGNIFICANT <br />LESS THAN <br />NO <br />SIGNIFICANT <br />UNLESS <br />SIGNIFICANT <br />RVIPACT <br />SOURCES <br />ISSUES <br />MITIGATION <br />IMPACT <br />INCORPORATED <br />1. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial <br />X <br />2 <br />pollutant concentrations? <br />e. Create objectionable odors affecting a <br />X <br />2 <br />substantial number of people? <br />EXPLANATION: The traffic volumes associated with this project are not anticipated to be substantial. Therefore, a significant <br />increase in air emission or deterioration of ambient air quality attributed to the project is not anticipated. It should be noted that the <br />latest information provided by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) indicates that the Bay Area is a <br />designated non -attainment area for ozone and particulate matter (PM1 o). Typically, the BAAQMD does not require site -specific air <br />quality analyses for projects that do not meet a minimum size threshold (typically, in excess of 300 dwelling units), which this <br />project would not meet. Best Management Practices (BMPs) are required as standard conditions of approval regarding the use of <br />equipment during the grading phase. Specifically, because of the number of truck trips required for exporting of contaminated soils, <br />and the subsequent importing of clean fill, the project shall be conditioned to required that all trucks be covered, and that daily street <br />sweeping and site watering be implemented during this phase. With implementation of these standard conditions, potential air <br />quality impacts related to the construction phase are anticipated to be less than significant. Due to the proposed residential use, no <br />objectionable odors are anticipated. <br />6. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Mould the project: <br />a. Have a substantial adverse effect, either <br />directly or through habitat modifications, on <br />any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, <br />X <br />7, g, 9 <br />or special status species in local or regional <br />plans, policies, or regulations, or by the <br />California Department of Fish and Game or <br />U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? <br />b. Have a substantial adverse effect on any <br />riparian habitat or other sensitive natural <br />community identified in local or regional <br />X <br />7, g, 9 <br />plans, policies, regulations or by the California. <br />Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and <br />Wildlife Service? <br />c. Have a substantial adverse effect on federally <br />protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 <br />of the Clean Water Act (including, but not <br />X <br />7, 8, 9 <br />limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) <br />through direct removal, filling, hydrological <br />interruption, or other means? <br />d. Interfere substantially with the movement of an <br />resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or <br />with established native resident or migratory <br />X <br />7, g, 9 <br />wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native <br />wildlife nursery sites? <br />C. Conflict with any local policies or ordinances <br />protecting biological resources, such as a tree <br />X <br />2 <br />reservation policy or ordinance? <br />f. Conflict with the provisions of an adopted <br />Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural <br />Community Conservation Plan or other <br />X <br />2,13 <br />approved local, regional, or state habitat <br />conservation plan? <br />Preda Street Homes - Initial Study Checklist 7 January 2001 <br />�1 <br />
