Administrative Draft Environmental Impact Report Gill Medical Center Project 4.11.3 Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures 4.11.3.1 Thresholds of Significance The following thresholds of significance are based on Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. For the purposes of this EIR, implementation of the proposed project may result in a potentially significant impact associated with hazards and hazardous materials if it would do any of the following: Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. 4.11.3.2 Methods of Analysis This impact analysis examines the potential for the construction and/or operation of the proposed project to result in release of hazardous materials into the environment. Construction and operation of the project will comply with all applicable laws, permits, and legal requirements pertaining to hazards and hazardous materials, as discussed above. 4.11.3.3 Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures Impact 4.11-1: The project would require the transport, storage, use and disposal of hazardous materials which could result in a significant hazard to the public or the environment. Impact Determination: less than significant with mitigation incorporated Threshold: Creation of a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. Threshold: Creation of a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. Construction A variety of hazardous substances and wastes would be stored and used on the Project site during construction.These would include fuels for machinery and vehicles, new and used motor oils, cleaning solvents, paints, and storage containers and applicators containing such materials. Accidental spills, leaks, fires, explosions, or pressure releases involving hazardous materials represent a potential threat to human health and the environment if not properly stored, used, managed or treated. Impacts related to the routine transport, use, disposal, or accidental release of hazardous materials during construction of the Project would be potentially significant. However, with implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.11-1 a, this impact would be reduced to less than significant with mitigation incorporated. Noise 4.11-5 October 2021
