The <br />proposed project includes a Development Agreement application, which, if approved, <br />will permit Phase 1 improvements to be constructed over five years, and Phase 2 <br />improvements to be constructed over ten years. Phase 1 includes construction of a <br />36,000 square foot women's health center. Phase 2 includes the construction of a <br />140,000 square foot hospital facility, a 28,000 square foot medical office building, a <br />6,000 square foot waste treatment facility, a 4,000 square foot physical plant, a <br />2,000 square foot water treatment facility, and a heliport. <br />DTSC recommends that the following issues be evaluated in the EIR, Hazards and <br />Hazardous Materials section: <br />The EIR should acknowledge the potential for project site activities to result in the <br />release of hazardous wastes/substances. In instances in which releases may <br />occur, further studies should be carried out to delineate the nature and extent of <br />the contamination, and the potential threat to public health and/or the <br />environment should be evaluated. The EIR should also identify the mechanism(s) <br />to initiate any required investigation and/or remediation and the government <br />agency who will be responsible for providing appropriate regulatory oversight. <br />Planning Commission Staff Report e Printed on Recycled Paper 40 <br />PA -1900240 (SA), PA -2000014 (ER), PA -2000019 (DA) <br />Response Letters <br />
