Item No. 3 PC: 5-7-92 SA-92-25 Page 6 approved. The Fire District has given the applicant the option of either providing a private system involving on-site water storage tanks or connecting to the City of Stockton's public water system. In either case, the system will be designed to the applicable standards of the Uniform Fire Code and National Fire Protection Association. Public Safety: The letters in opposition express a concern for the safety of area residents if a fire should break out or if the accidental release of liquid fertilizer results in a mixing of liquid and dry chemicals. None of the responsible agencies for the project, including the Office of Emergency Services,the Air Pollution Control District,the French Camp Fire District,and the Regional Water Quality Control Board, indicated that the potential threat from the presence of liquid fertilizers on the site represented a significant threat to public safety. The recommended Conditions of Approval further reduce the risk of public safety hazards by requiring a fire fighting system (French Camp Fire District), the updating of the existing Hazardous Materials Management Plan for the site (Office of Emergency Services), strict handling procedures (Regional Water Quality Control Board), and the application of Uniform Fire Code and National Fire Protection Association standards to the construction of the facility (French Camp Fire District). FACILITIES/SERVICES: Water Supply, Sewage Disposal, and Storm Drainage: The facility is currently served by the following on-site services: a private well, an individual septic system, and an on-site storm water retention pond. The approval of this application will not affect the continued use of these facilities. Conditions of Approval from the Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Department of Public Works stipulate that material used in the proposed facility shall be kept out of the storm water retention pond,thereby reducing the project's potential for contaminating either soil or groundwater. This will be accomplished by placing the facility on an impervious surface and surrounding it by a berm or other containment feature. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Initial Study that was prepared for this project on March 23, 1992, indicated that no significant, adverse environmental impacts would result from this project. On the basis of that review, a Negative Declaration was prepared. In addition, a Certificate of Fee Exemption with a'De Minimis Impact Finding' has been prepared which states that the project will not have an adverse effect on wildlife resources.
