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 />a) Directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse <br />effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: <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 />Less Than <br />Significant <br />Potentially with <br />Significant Mitigation <br />Impact Incorporated <br />Less Than <br />Significant <br />Impact No Impact <br />Pock Lane Public Review Draft IS/MND 3-29 May 2022 <br />
