The proposed project is a Use Permit <br /> application to establish a religious assembly facility. The project is planned for <br /> construction in two (2) phases over six (6) years. Phase 1 includes the conversion of an <br /> existing 5,000 square foot agricultural building to a mixed use worship building, a <br /> 3,700 square foot kitchen addition to the mixed use worship building, and the <br /> conversion of an existing 1,803 square foot building to a private garage. Phase 2 <br /> includes the construction of five meditation retreat buildings totaling 7,800 square feet <br /> (approximately 1,500 square feet a piece), a 5,900 square foot pagoda building, a <br /> 600 square foot maintenance building, and the conversion of the 1,803 square foot <br /> private garage to an administration building. <br /> DTSC recommends that the following issues be evaluated in the MND Hazards and <br /> Hazardous Materials section: <br /> 1 . The MND should acknowledge the potential for historic or future activities on or <br /> near the project site to result in the release of hazardous wastes/substances on <br /> the project site. In instances in which releases have occurred or may occur, <br /> further studies should be carried out to delineate the nature and extent of the <br /> contamination, and the potential threat to public health and/or the environment <br /> should be evaluated. The MND should also identify the mechanism(s) to initiate <br /> any required investigation and/or remediation and the government agency who <br /> will be responsible for providing appropriate regulatory oversight. <br /> ® Printed on Recycled Paper <br />
