�- `rfitia!Study—LID Annexation 2.7.1 Regulatory Background The Lathrop General Plan does not specifically address the potential for existing hazardous materials in the plan area but includes policies to regulate the extent and location of land uses that may generate hazardous materials and other public health impacts. The West Lathrop Specific Plan and associated EIR take a similar approach, guiding land use decisions to avoid potential conflicts related to generation of hazardous materials and public health concerns. Several agencies regulate the transportation and use of hazardous materials to minimize potential risks to public health and safety.These agencies include the California Environmental Protection Agency(Cal- EPA)and the Office of Emergency Services.The California Highway Patrol and California Department of Transportation(Caltrans)enforce regulations for hazardous materials transport. In Cal-EPA,the Department of Toxic Substances Control(DTSC)has primary regulatory authority for hazardous materials regulation enforcement. State hazardous waste regulations are contained primarily in Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations(CCR). Individual Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCBs)are the lead agencies responsible for identifying,monitoring, and cleaning up leaking underground storage tanks. The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department(SJCEHD)would regulate the cleanup of contaminated properties in its jurisdiction in coordination with Cal-EPA. 2.7.2 Hazards and Hazardous Materials Impacts Potentially Less Than Less Than No Impact Significant Significant Significant impact with Impact Mitigation Incorporation VII.
