<br /> <br />Red Morton Community Park Sports Lighting Initial Study <br />City of Redwood City 49 June 2015 <br />4.9.2.1 Water Quality <br /> <br />The project proposes to install sports lighting at an existing park. The sports lighting would not <br />measurably increase stormwater runoff from the project site. The project site is relatively flat; <br />therefore, the potential for erosion on the site is low. For these reasons, the proposed project would <br />not create additional runoff, diminish water quality as a result of erosion, or otherwise substantially <br />degrade water quality. As discussed in Section 4.3 Air Quality, measures to prevent dust, <br />sedimentation, and erosion during construction are included in the proposed project. <br /> <br />4.9.2.2 Hydrology <br /> <br />The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard zone and is not subject to inundation by <br />seiche, tsunami, or mudflow. The project does not require the use of water, and will not interfere <br />with groundwater recharge. For these reasons, the project would not result in impacts related to these <br />hydrology issues. <br /> <br />The project site is located in the Lower Emerald dam failure inundation area. Although there is a risk <br />of inundation on the site due to failure of the Lower Emerald dam, the project site is currently <br />utilized by the public under existing conditions. Additionally, the proposed light standards are <br />considered mechanical equipment as opposed to structures. For these reasons, the project would not <br />expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death as a result of the failure of a <br />levee or dam. <br /> <br />4.9.4 Conclusion <br /> <br />The proposed project would not result in significant hydrology or water quality impacts.
