3. Environmental Checklist <br />3.10. Hazards and Hazardous Materials <br />Would the Project: <br />a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the <br />❑ ❑ <br />® <br />❑ <br />environment through the routine transport, use, or <br />disposal of hazardous materials? <br />b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the <br />❑ ® <br />❑ <br />environment through reasonably foreseeable upset <br />and accident conditions involving the release of <br />hazardous materials into the environment? <br />c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous <br />❑ 0 <br />or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or <br />waste within one -quarter mile of an existing or <br />proposed school? <br />d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of <br />❑ ❑ <br />El <br />hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to <br />Government Code § 65962.5 and, as a result, would <br />it create a significant hazard to the public or the <br />environment? <br />e) For a project located within an airport land use <br />❑ X <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, <br />within two miles of a public airport or public use <br />airport, would the project result in a safety hazard or <br />excessive noise for people residing or working in the <br />project area? <br />f) Impair implementation of or physically interfere <br />❑ L! <br />❑ <br />with an adopted emergency response plan or <br />emergency evacuation plan? <br />g) Expose people or structures, either directly or <br />❑ ❑ <br />❑ <br />indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury or death <br />involving wildland fires? <br />Discussion <br />a) Transport, Use, and Disposal of Hazardous Materials: During construction of the Proposed Project, <br />including grading and excavation and filling, hazardous materials like fuels, oils, lubricants, and <br />solvents may be used in limited quantities during heavy equipment operation. Mishandling or <br />improper disposal of these materials could lead to accidental releases, posing risks to workers, the <br />public, and the environment, including soil and water sources. However, laws and regulations, such as <br />those enforced by the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA) and the <br />Department of Transportation (DOT), oversee the transport, use, storage, handling, and disposal of <br />hazardous materials, mitigating potential hazards. <br />The construction -phase SWPPP shall incorporate BMPs to regulate hazardous material use during <br />construction, further controlling potential impacts. Examples include the deployment of spill response <br />kits during all construction activities, the establishment of exclusion buffers to restrict access to <br />San Leandro Treatment Wetland <br />IS/MND <br />
