Impact Discussion: a-i) No Impact. The Alquist—Priolo Earthquake Zoning Act(Alquist—Priolo Act) requires the delineation of fault zones along active faults in California. The purpose of the Alquist—Priolo Act is to regulate development on or near active fault traces to reduce hazards associated with fault rupture. Alquist—Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones are the regulatory zones that include surface traces of active faults. According to the California Department of Conservation, the nearest active Alquist-Priolo Fault Zone to the Project site is the Greenville Fault Zone, located approximately 9.8 miles southwest of the project site (DOC 2020). In addition, the Great Valley 7 Fault, considered an active fault by the state, is located approximately 4.4 miles south of the project site (CEG 2020). However, no faults are located below the project site. As such, the potential for surface rupture of an Alquist—Priolo Earthquake Fault on the Project site is very low. Therefore, no impacts associated fault rupture would occur, and this issue will not be evaluated further in the Draft EIR. Enter oroiect#s. —Initial Study 15
