' MOUNTAIN HOUSE NEIGHBORHOODS K AND L INITIAL STUDY 5.ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 7.HAZARDS I mitigation in the form of proper disposal will be necessary. These will be replaced with non PCB-containing transformers. An information packet that includes a summary of major studies regarding electric and magnetic field effects and a list of reference studies is a condition of approval. The 1994 MEIR also recommended that any metal structures or objects within and adjacent to transmission line easements be grounded to avoid nuisance induction effects such as shocks. This component of the 1994 MEIR Mitigation Measure 4.10-2 was found not to be feasible in the findings adopted for the 1994 MEIR. Fi Impact No. 3 } The following implementation measures were adopted into the Master Plan to i address potential impacts associated with asbestos-containing building materials in existing structures: 1)all existing structures must be tested for asbestos- containing materials prior to demolition,and if asbestos is present, a licensed asbestos abatement contractor shall perform demolition; and 2)a demolition permit shall be required prior to any proposed building demolition. i . Since preparation of the Master Plan,all former agricultural buildings within Neighborhoods K and L have been removed. It is assumed that these structures were tested for hazardous building materials prior to demolition. Since no structures remain on the Neighborhoods K and L sites,these mitigation measures do not apply to the proposed project. F!F j Impact No. 4 With respect to the household landfill located in the center of Mountain House, j the 1994 MEIR recommended that the developer be required either to 1) conduct f soil and groundwater sampling in and within 500 feet of the household landfill, or 2)conduct a health risk assessment to determine whether an engineered cap would effectively mitigate environmental and public health impacts associated with the landfill. Since this landfill was located outside of Neighborhoods K and F! L,this mitigation measure does not apply to the proposed project. F1 Impact No. 5 I The 1994 MEIR recommended that general criteria, standards, and maintenance schedules for mosquito abatement be developed in consultation with the Mosquito Abatement District and be incorporated into maintenance requirements for the project. The creation of a project-specific operations and maintenance program that describes mosquito abatement and other maintenance activities } that would be necessary for the continued effectiveness of the basins is a f condition of approval. Impact No. 6 f ' The 1994 MEIR recommended that potential hazards associated with public exposure to explosives,fire,or the release of materials during railway accidents 1: Isnn�y 5-95
