Introduction Environmental Impact Report 1-7 Commenter Comment/Request Summary Where the Topic is Discussed in the EIR East Bay Municipal Utility District The East Bay Municipal Utility District will not design piping or services until soil and groundwater quality data and remediation plans have been received and reviewed and will not start underground work until remediation has been carried out and documentation of the effectiveness of the remediation has been received and reviewed. If no soil or groundwater quality data exists, or the information supplied by the project sponsor is insufficient, East Bay Municipal Utility District may require the project sponsor to perform sampling and analysis to characterize the soil and groundwater that may be encountered during excavation, or East Bay Municipal Utility District may perform such sampling and analysis at the project sponsor's expense. If evidence of contamination is discovered during East Bay Municipal Utility District work on the project site, work may be suspended until such contamination is adequately characterized and remediated to East Bay Municipal Utility District standards. Potential impacts of the project associated with hazardous materials, including contaminated soil and groundwater, are evaluated in Section 4.2, Hazards and Hazardous Materials. East Bay Municipal Utility District East Bay Municipal Utility District requests that the City include in its conditions of approval a requirement that the project sponsor comply with Assembly Bill 325, "Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance," (Division 2, Title 23, California Code of Regulations, Chapter 2.7, Sections 490 through 495). The project sponsor should be aware that Section 31 of East Bay Municipal Utility District’s Water Service Regulations requires that water service shall not be furnished for new or expanded service unless all the applicable water-efficiency measures described in the regulation are installed at the project sponsor's expense. This comment cites regulatory requirements. The proposed project must comply with regulatory requirements regardless of CEQA analysis and mitigation measures. Native American Heritage Commission The Native American Heritage Commission recommends consultation with California Native American tribes that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the proposed project as early as possible in order to avoid inadvertent discoveries of Native American human remains and best protect tribal cultural resources. No California Native American Tribes have submitted requests to the City of San Leandro for consultation on CEQA projects pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.3.1. The proposed project does not involve an amendment to the City’s General Plan; therefore, consultation pursuant to SB 18 is not required. Potential project impacts related to tribal cultural resources are evaluated in the Initial Study, which is provided as Appendix A to the EIR. The Initial Study also provides mitigation measures to reduce potential impacts to tribal cultural resources. These mitigation measures also appear in the Executive Summary of this EIR.
