5 – Effects Found Not To Be Significant Draft Environmental Impact Report February 2021 14800 W. Schulte Road Logistics Center 5-9 Hazardous Materials Site Complied Pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 The Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List (Cortese List) is a planning document providing information about the location of hazardous materials release sites. California Government Code Section 65962.5 requires the California Environmental Protection Agency to develop, at least annually, an updated Cortese List. The Department of Toxic Substances Control is responsible for a portion of the information contained in the Cortese List. Other state and local government agencies are required to provide additional hazardous materials release information for the Cortese List. A review of federal, state, County, and city environmental record sources, conducted as part of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Partner 2018a), identified the Project site on several regulatory da tabases for the use and storage of hazardous materials . However, subsequent investigation that was conducted as part of the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment and the Phase II subsurface investigation concluded that the Project’s listing on these regula tory databases would not pose a health risk to future occupants of the Project site (Partner 2018a, 2018b). Therefore, impacts associated with Cortese List hazardous materials sites would be less than significant. Airport-Related Safety Hazards or Excessive Noise The Project is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport. The closest airport is the Tracy Municipal Airport, located approximately 3 miles southeast of the Project site, and the Project site is outside of the airport influence area as delineated in the Tracy Municipal Airport Master Plan (City of Tracy 1998). As such, no impacts associated with public or private airstrips would occur. Emergency Response and Evacuation Plans The County of San Joaquin Emergency Operations Plan is an all-hazards document describing the County’s incident management structure, compliance with relevant legal statutes, other relevant guidelines, whole community engagement, continuity of government focus, and critical components of the incident management structure. According to the Emergency Operations Plan, major transportation routes in the County, including I-580 and I-205, would be possible evacuation routes in the event of an emergency (County of San Joaquin 2019b). The Project would not affect these routes, and moreover, the Project would not affect the County’s ability to implement its Emergency Operations Plan in the event of an emergency. In addition, the City of Tracy has adopted a Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (City of Tracy 2020). However, there are no specific routes identified in the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. Notwithstanding, the Project would not impede access to any public route that might be needed as an evacuation route. Should Project construction require temporary closures of lanes within Schulte Road, traffic control measures (consistent with the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and as required by the County Public Works Department as part of the encroachment permit process) would be implemented to ensure local emergency access is maintained. As a result, the Project would not significantly affect emergency response or evac uation activities. Therefore, impacts associated with emergency response or evacuation plans would be less than significant.
