2 Environments 7.B. - Page 77 <br /> ongoing reduction programs. The construction equipment and vehicles would need to meet state <br /> efficiency requirements and use low carbon fuel. The emissions associated with the electricity <br /> purchased would reflect increased use of renewable sources. Implementation of the proposed project <br /> would promote walking and bicycles use and would be in compliance with state and local plans and <br /> policies for the reduction of greenhouse gases. (No Impact) <br /> 2.8 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS <br /> The project area has several sources of potential hazards and hazardous materials,including a major <br /> freeway,nearby commercial and industrial facilities,and an airport. According to the 2010 General <br /> Plan, the majority of the hazardous material-listed sites within Redwood City are concentrated along <br /> the US 101 corridor (City of Redwood City, 2011). Most hazardous material releases in the area are <br /> related to leaking underground storage tanks (LUST). <br /> CE&G conducted five geotechnical borings within the project areas and tested soil samples from the <br /> borings for contaminant concentrations pursuant to Title 22, Chapter 11 of the California Code of <br /> Regulations. Appendix G contains the Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the proposed <br /> project containing the soil sampling results. The analytical test results indicated that the project soils <br /> do not exceed the Total Threshold Limit Concentrations (1 TLC) of volatile organic compounds <br /> (VOCs),polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), or Title 22 metals (Curtis &Tompkins, 2013). Based on <br /> the results,the project area soils encountered and removed during construction can be classified as <br /> Class II "designated" (nonhazardous) waste. <br /> The San Carlos Airport,approximately 1.5 miles northwest of the project area,is a general aviation <br /> facility that averages 155,000 aircraft annually. The San Mateo County Public Works Department <br /> maintains and operates San Carlos Airport (City of Redwood City,2011). <br /> VIII.
