Soil Investigations for Data Collection in the Delta Initial Study/Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration 181 3.15.2 Discussion a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or other performance objectives for any of the public services: Fire protection? Less than Significant Impact. Proposed Project activities are minor (requiring limited amounts of additional people and vehicles on site) and short in duration (up to 15 days per site). Proposed Project activities would not increase the demand on fire protection services, either due to an increased worker population or due to Proposed Project-related hazards. During the Proposed Project period, emergency response routes and plans would not be impacted by Proposed Project activities at each site. While a small subset of proposed soil investigation sites along Highway 160 may require flaggers or temporary lane closures, the Proposed Project would not require any road \closures. The Proposed Project would not significantly impair or interfere with emergency access, including any emergency response or evacuation routes. Service ratios, response times, and other performance objectives will not be significantly impacted during Proposed Project activities as it relates to fire protection. While there would be a Less Than Significant impact to fire protection, implementation of Mitigation Measures MM PUB-1 and TRANS-1 would further avoid, minimize and/or reduce the potential for impacts. MM PUB-1 a. A Plan(s) (often Contractor’s safety plan) with a section on Fire Protection and Prevention will be submitted to DWR for review and approval which incorporates fire safety measures on all equipment with the potential to create a fire hazard. b. The contractor will prepare a Safety Plan in accordance with the DWR protocols. Police protection? No Impact. Proposed Project activities are minor (requiring limited amounts of additional people and vehicles on site) and short in duration (up to 15 days per site). During the Proposed Project period, emergency response routes and plans would not be impacted by Proposed Project activities at the site.
