Public access to the proposed project site is restricted; therefore, there will be no threat to public health and safety.All project activities will be conducted exclusively on-site and it is not anticipated that the on-site hazards would affect off-site locations during excavation activities. The project site is a former gravel mine (a closed basin)with no surface water outfall. All rainwater and dust control misting that falls onto the Site will remain within the project property boundary. The use of storm water diversion piping and diversion dams within the Site will be utilized to minimize further contamination of the Site if needed. Each loading area will be reviewed and any water control measures will be implemented as needed in accordance with the site specific Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (Sukut 2003). Emergency or evacuation routes will not be affected by the project activities. Analysis of Potential Impacts: Describe to what extent project activities would: a. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment throughout the routine transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials. Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed removal action plan would involve the handling and management of sediments potentially containing metals and pyrolytic oil. The project does not include any long-term routine transport, use or repeated disposal of hazardous materials. Concentrations of these chemicals are above regional background concentrations but are not high enough to be acutely toxic at reasonable levels of exposure (E&EI 2002).The project is designed to avoid potential hazard to the public or environment through the implementation of specific control measures and decontamination procedures associated with the loading and transportation of excavated material as described previously in the project description section. b. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. Less Than Significant Impact. The implementation of the proposed RAP will be in accordance with the final approved work plan and will be subject to protections for site workers as described in the site HSP. The project involves the removal of potential contaminants from the Site and will result in a beneficial impact to the local environment by reducing contaminant levels in soils on the project site (San Joaquin County 2000). The release of hazardous materials into the environment or potential exposure of the public is not anticipated.The project is designed to avoid hazard to the public and environment through the implementation of control measures associated with loading and transportation of excavated material as described in the project description section. Waste control measures include the following: each loaded truck will follow a designated haul-route, each load will be properly covered with a tarpaulin, and each load will have an accompanying waste manifest signed by the truck driver. C. Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. No Impact. The project site is not located within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school and any materials excavated and transported as part of this project will not result in the emission of hazardous materials within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. 31
