trips is not anticipated, especially since actions at the federal and State level are being <br /> taken to improve vehicle fuel economy (Congressional Research Service 2021). Also, as <br /> discussed in Section 3.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, the project would have features <br /> contributing to reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that would concurrently <br /> reduce fuel consumption, mainly by decreasing vehicle travel. <br /> Overall, project construction and operations would not consume energy resources in a <br /> manner considered wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary. Project impacts related to energy <br /> consumption are considered less than significant. <br /> b) Consistency with Energy Plans. <br /> The County does not have formal renewable energy or energy efficiency plans, but <br /> County General Plan Policy LU-2.2 promotes an approach to designing and constructing <br /> buildings that consume less energy, and Policy LU-6.8 encourages all employment and <br /> industrial projects to incorporate sustainable technologies, including energy-efficient <br /> practices. As noted in a) above, the project would be required to comply with the building <br /> energy efficiency standards of the California Energy Code and of CALGreen, which <br /> would be consistent with these General Plan policies. The project would have no impact <br /> related to consistency with energy plans. <br /> 3.7 GEOLOGY AND SOILS <br /> Would the project: <br /> Less Than <br /> Significant <br /> a)Directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse Potentially with Less Than <br /> effects,including the risk of loss,injury,or death involving: Significant Mitigation Significant <br /> Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact <br /> i)Rupture of a known earthquake fault,as delineated on <br /> the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning <br /> Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based <br /> on other substantial evidence of a known fault?Refer to <br /> Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42. <br /> ii)Strong seismic ground shaking? <br /> iii)Seismic-related ground failure,including <br /> liquefaction? <br /> iv)Landslides? <br /> b)Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? <br /> c)Be located on strata or soil that is unstable,or that would <br /> become unstable as a result of the project,and potentially <br /> result in on-or offsite landslide,lateral spreading, <br /> subsidence,liquefaction or collapse? <br /> d)Be located on expansive soil,as defined in Table 18-1-B <br /> of the Uniform Building Code,creating substantial direct or <br /> Pock Lane Public Review Draft IS/MND 3-29 May 2022 <br />
