City of San Leandro 880 Doolittle Drive Industrial Project 1-4 Commenter Comment/Request Summary Where the Topic is Discussed in the EIR California Department of Justice Priority should be placed on avoiding land use conflicts between warehouses and sensitive receptors and on mitigating the impacts of any unavoidable land use conflicts. However, even projects located far from sensitive receptors may contribute to harmful regional air pollution, so you should consider measures to reduce emissions associated with the project to help the State meet its air quality goals. A distant warehouse may also impact sensitive receptors if trucks must pass near sensitive receptors to visit the warehouse. The potential air quality impacts of the project are evaluated in the Initial Study. The Initial Study is provided as Appendix A to this EIR. California Department of Toxic Substances Control Surveys should be conducted for lead-based paint and products, mercury, asbestos containing materials, and polychlorinated biphenyl caulk prior to demolition of buildings and structures. Removal, demolition, and disposal of the above-mentioned chemicals should be conducted in compliance with California environmental regulations and policies. Potential impacts of the project associated with hazardous materials, including chemicals mentioned in this comment, are evaluated in Section 4.2, Hazards and Hazardous Materials. California Department of Toxic Substances Control Imported soil and fill material should be tested to ensure any contaminants of concern are within approved screening levels for the intended land use. To minimize the possibility of introducing contaminated soil and fill material there should be documentation of the origins of the soil or fill material and, if applicable, sampling be conducted to ensure that the imported soil and fill material meets screening levels for the intended land use. The soil sampling should include analysis based on the source of the fill and knowledge of the prior land use. The proposed project does not include importing fill material. California Department of Toxic Substances Control Prior to new buildings being constructed on site, a Remedial Action Plan amendment will be required to evaluate the soil vapor impacts and vapor intrusion risk. While a vapor mitigation system has been discussed for the site, the system cannot be installed before the completion of the Remedial Action Plan amendment. The potential impacts related to soil vapor intrusion are evaluated in Section 4.2, Hazards and Hazardous Materials. Section 4.2, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, also identifies mitigation measures for impacts related to soil vapor intrusion. California Department of Transportation – Aeronautics Program The project site is primarily in Safety Zone 4 (Outer Approach/Departure Zone), with a portion in Zone 6 (Traffic Pattern Zone) of the Oakland International Airport and therefore must adhere to the safety criteria and restrictions defined in the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) formed by the ALUC pursuant to the PUC, Section 21674. Warehouse and office space square footage per person should be further reviewed to adhere to consistency with the ALUCP and Table 3-2 of the ALUCP. Section 3.3.2.7. should also be reviewed to ensure compatibility with development criteria. This comment does not directly pertain to environmental impacts evaluated under CEQA. However, the City recognizes the importance of adhering to the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. The Alameda County Community Development Agency, Planning Department (ALUC) also provided a written comment in response to the NOP. In that letter the ALUC indicates that warehouses are a compatible use within Safety Zone 4 assuming certain restrictions on the number of employees on-site.
