2. SCOPE OF WORK • Develop impact significance criteria that are specific to the site's geotechnical constraints and the components of the proposed project that may induce impact. The CEQA Guidelines, the DMG Checklist and the City's General Plan policies and ordinances will form the foundation of the criteria. However, the criteria will be structured to bring out the salient aspects of the hazards and impacts specific to the site and development proposal. Identify the manner in which proposed grading may by affected by and/or impact soil engineering constraints. If engineering constraints will remain, identify measures to minimize hazards to structures and infrastructure. Discuss the overall rippability of the rocks and the general need for blasting. Assess the impacts of the proposed project on the topography of the site including extent and height of cuts and fills, changes in slope, alteration of ridge line configurations, unique or outstanding topographic features, and gradients. In discussion with the project engineers, describe any import/export of geologic materials. Discuss how the proposed grading plan conforms with policies in the San Leandro General Plan and City Grading Ordinance, as applicable. Describe proposed (or conceptual) foundations, structures and design and discuss the way in which proposed building designs, including both structural and non-structural elements potentially may respond to the site's geotechnical and seismic hazard constraints. Relate these generally to requirements of the Building Code. Using the seismic hazards information combined with projections of the Bay Area Earthquake Preparedness Project (BAREPP), identify the major sources of earthquake hazard at the site and the possible response of the project to a maximum credible earthquake on nearby major faults (e.g., Hayward, San Andreas or Calaveras Faults). Special emphasis will be given to earthquake hazard of the nearby Hayward Fault. The assessment will consider hazards to building foundations, structures, and typical non-structural elements of the project. The applicant's proposed building designs (if available) will be reviewed for their overall potential earthquake response. ESA will summarize pertinent observations from recent major earthquakes about the performance of structures and slopes and relate these to applicable components of the project. Drawing on recommendations of ABAG, BAREPP, USGS, CDMG, California Seismic Safety Commission, City of San Leandro policy and others, develop mitigation measures directed to ensuring that the development will be subject to minimal hazards with acceptable levels of risk and minimal loss of vital emergency services. 12 of 37 Boulders Residential Development EIR
