HAZARDS/CONSTRAINTS: Flooding: Item No. 2 PC: 12-16-93 ER-93-1/UP-93-4 01 Page 7 Although the site is not within a flood hazard zone, there is the potential for Corral Hollow Creek, located north of the site, to overtop and spill into the site. The Final EIR identified this as a potentially significant impact and suggested as mitigation that berms be constructed to prevent a 100 -year, 24-hour flood in Corral Hollow Creek from accidentally overflowing into the pit. As a Condition of Approval, the applicant will be required to prepare an analysis of Corral Hollow Creek for a 100 -year, 24-hour flood event. Berming shall be constructed if it is determined by the analysis to be necessary to protect the site. Hazardous Waste: The facility will be available for periodic household hazardous waste events sponsored by San Joaquin County. Any hazardous materials discovered in the waste stream will be temporarily stored in a hazardous waste locker until disposed of off the site. The facility will accept recyclable household hazardous materials such as used oil, lead acid batteries, and antifreeze. These materials will be labeled, stored at the site in special bins and containers, and transported off the site by dealers in these commodities. As required by the California Integrated Waste Management Board, a load screening program will be implemented at the transfer station. The facility will also not accept any hazardous commercial or industrial waste. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS: All of the issues identified and analyzed in the EIR can be mitigated to less than significant levels. Therefore, a "Statement of Overriding Consideration" will not be required to take action on the project. Attachment A includes the findings necessary to certify the Final EIR as adequate. Attachment B contains the "Findings of Significant Environmental Impact," and Attachment C is the Mitigation Monitoring Program.
