Administrative Draft Environmental Impact Report Gill Medical Center Project hazardous materials. With implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.11-2a, this impact would be reduced to less than significant with mitigation incorporated. Under the No Project Alternative, none of the above impacts that require mitigation would occur. Therefore Alternative 1 is superior to the proposed Project for the issue of potential hazard and hazardous material impacts. 6.3.8.2 Alternative 2: Reduced Project— Phase 1 Hospital Only Draft EIR findings related to proposed Project hazards and hazardous materials are summarized immediately above. Under the Reduced Project Alternative, only Phase 1 facilities would be constructed. The proposed Phase 1 development area comprises 12.5 acres of the western portion of the 42.4-acre Project site. The Phase 1 development area does not include the former gas well discussed immediately above, which exists within the Phase 2 development area approximately 250 feet east of the Phase 1 boundary. This separation would ensure that should any upset condition resulting a release of hazardous materials from the former gas well occur, appropriate remedial action could be implemented, up to and including "rig access"to the well site should such equipment be required for remediation and/or well closure activities. Thus, the existing former gas well would not present a hazards constraint under Alternative 2 and Alternative 2 is superior to the proposed Project for the issue of potential impacts to hazards and hazardous materials. 6.3.8.3 Alternative 3: Connect to Public Utilities - Water, Wastewater and Storm Water Draft EIR findings for the proposed Project related to hazards and hazardous materials are summarized above in section 6.3.8.1. Under this Alternative 3, the onsite areas reserved for water, wastewater and storm water utility construction would no longer be required and the Project development footprint could be reduced accordingly. As shown on Figure 6-2, all pipeline extensions required to connect the Project site with the nearest available utilities would occur within existing West Lane right-of-way. Because trenching for pipeline extensions could extend below previous grading conducted for road base construction, implementation of Alternative 3 would result in a moderate increase in potential to encounter unknown underground hazardous materials.Thus, due to the length and depth of required trenching, a slight increase in potential for hazard and hazardous materials impacts is expected.Therefore, the proposed Project is superior to Alternative 3 for the issue of hazards and hazardous materials. 6.3.8.4 Alternative 4: Alternative Site Location—Stockton Economic and Education Enterprise Zone (Eight Mile Road at 1-5) Draft EIR findings for the proposed Project related to hazards and hazardous materials are summarized above in section 6.3.7.1 Existing conditions at the alternative site location are similar to the Project site in that it is mostly level and currently in agricultural production.Thus, Project development at the alternative site is expected to have Alternatives 6-17 October 2021
