2 Environments 7.B. - Page 79 <br /> products would be properly stored in storage containers and handled accordingly to applicable <br /> regulations. Construction workers would be educated on the proper handling and storage of these <br /> materials before construction begins. (Less than Significant Impact) <br /> b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably <br /> foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into <br /> the environment? <br /> The proposed project would not result in the routine transportation of hazardous materials or <br /> hazardous waste. The City would demolish the old pump station near Bair Island Road and would <br /> replace it with a new wet-well and pump station. Excess soil and spoils from excavating associated <br /> with the joint-use path and retaining wall construction would be removed. Based upon the soil test <br /> results contained in Appendix F,the soil in the proposed project area is classified as Class II <br /> "designated" (nonhazardous) waste. The demolition wastes from the old pump station and the <br /> excess soils from excavation would be disposed off-site at an appropriate disposal site such as the Ox <br /> Mountain Landfill in Half Moon Bay,a Class II landfill capable of accepting designated <br /> nonhazardous wastes generated by project construction. The Young Bay Mud soils within the <br /> project area may contain too much absorbed moisture to be transported and disposed of as landfill <br /> cover. The contractors would dry,mix, and test the Bay Mud soils onsite prior to transport and <br /> disposal at an appropriate landfill site. Testing would use the Paint Filter Test to ensure that the soils <br /> used as landfill cover are at least 50 percent solids,as required by Section 3004 of the Hazardous and <br /> Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA). <br /> The City would comply with all applicable laws and regulations to ensure safe and proper handling of <br /> hazardous materials. Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) is the primary state statue <br /> regulating hazardous wastes enforced by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and <br /> local Certified Unified Program Agencies (CUPAs). Title 22, Section 66261.20-66261.24 defines <br /> hazardous wastes and contain applicable standards and restrictions regarding transportation and <br /> disposal of hazardous wastes. Title 27 of the California Code of Regulations, contains regulations <br /> related to solid waste and hazardous waste transportation,and proper disposal of solid waste to <br /> landfill facilities. Implementing these measures would minimize the risk of exposing the public to <br /> potential hazardous materials and reduce potential impacts from accidental releases to a less than <br /> significant level. (Less than Significant Impact) <br /> c)Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, <br /> substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? <br /> The proposed construction activities would not result in hazardous emissions or handling of <br /> hazardous substances within a quarter-mile of a school. The closest school is Orion Elementary <br /> School,approximately 0.4 miles from the project area.
