sensitive habitats and reduce potential impacts of such intrusion to below a level of significance. Only passive recreational uses will be developed in the park located in the buffer area on the north side of Phase 2B. No large structures shall be developed in this park. The increase in domestic pets and other potential predators of endangered animals in the project area would be controlled through a combination of education and predator control measures. Predator control measures identified in Mitigation Measure 3.3.5 of the GDP EIR have been incorporated into the Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (RMI, 1995). Implementation of this plan and monitoring reporting are required as a special condition of the Corps permit. Predator control measures described in the Mitigation and Monitoring Plan including hiring an animal control officer who would be responsible for removal of introduced predators (e.g., feral cat, red fox) and issuance of citations for breaking leash laws. Implementation of public access and exotic - and feral animal control measures described above, which are proposed as part of the project or are required by the GDP EIR or the Mitigation and Monitoring Plan, would reduce most significant human use impacts to a less than significant level. BA POTENTIAL IMPACT: On -site hazardous materials could leach into the adjacent wetlands, causing potentially significant impacts to the adjacent wetland area. FINDING: As described in the Draft SEIR, the completed remediation of the site, together with the low bioavailability that characterizes many of the contaminants results in the conclusion that there would be no significant impacts to adjacent wetlands due to any contaminant inputs. STATEMENT OF FACTS: Most of the hazardous materials on the site have been remediated. Any contaminants that may remain in the development area following the remediation activities would likely be at extremely low concentrations and are characterized by the low bioavailability (i.e., they are in a chemical state that makes it less likely for organisms to ingest or otherwise be exposed to them). Therefore, the probability that these contaminants would enter area waterways and wetlands and cause adverse ecological effects is low. B.5 POTENTIAL IMPACT: Potential impacts to shorebirds or their habitat, including that of the endangered California least tern, could occur as a result of stormwater runoff. FINDING: As described in the Draft SEIR for Phase 1 A and 1 B, there would be no adverse impacts to shorebirds or their habitat. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The potential impacts to shorebirds foraging in the mudflat/sand bar area at the mouth of San Lorenzo Creek from stormwater drainage and runoff are discussed in detail in the Phase 1 A and 1 B SEIR. The total drainage area for the entire Roberts Landing residential project (all phases) comprises about 52 acres or 0.17 percent of the San Lorenzo Creek watershed. The increased discharge to 6
