MOUNTAIN HOUSE PROPOSED ALTAMONT HEIGHTS TENTATIvE MAP 4. ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST <br /> 4.8 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY <br /> r <br /> The project site is not within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped in the MHMP (Figure <br /> 15.7) or on a FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map. No impact would occur(EDAW,2005b). <br /> Mitigation Measures <br /> No mitigation measures are required. <br /> h) Place within a 100 year food hazard area structures which would impede or redirect <br /> foodfows? <br /> Refer to discussion for Item g)above. <br /> Mitigation Measures <br /> No mitigation measures are required. <br /> i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving <br /> _ <br /> flooding, including f ooding of as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? <br /> Refer to discussion for Item g), above. The project site is not located downstream of any <br /> levee or dam. The lowest elevation of the project site is higher than the tops of the levees <br /> ` along the south side of Old River, thus the site would not be subject to flooding if a levee <br /> along Old River should fail. Although unlikely, if a severe earthquake should rupture the <br /> Delta Mendota Canal or the California Aqueduct,the pump stations that feed the canals <br /> ` would be shut down to save water and avoid any downstream flooding until the canals could <br /> be repaired. <br /> y Mitigation Measures <br /> No mitigation measures are required. <br /> L <br /> j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudfow? <br /> �. The proposed project would not be subject to a seiche or tsunami because the project site is <br /> not located near any large water bodies. The project site,when developed, and the adjacent <br /> lands to the south and west would have no terrain features high and steep enough to generate <br /> .. a mudflow that would impact the project site. <br /> Mitigation Measures <br /> No mitigation measures are required. <br /> ` SOURCES OF INFORMATION <br /> EDAW,2005x.
