Section 4.0 — Environmental Setting and Discussion of Impacts 4.18 MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE Potentially Significant hnpact 1) Does the project have the potential to degrade ❑ the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? 2) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? 3) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? a 701 4,18.1 Proicet Impacts (Checklist Ouestion 1) Less Than Significant Less Than Beneficial [nfonnation With Significant No hnpact linpact Source(s) Mitigation hnpact Incorporated ® ❑ ❑ ❑ 1-19 ❑ ® ❑ ❑ 1-19 ❑ ® ❑ ❑ 1-19 As discussed in the respective sections of the IS, the proposed project has the potential to result in temporary construction -related air quality, biological resource, cultural resource, hydrology and water quality, and noise impacts. Operation of the proposed project could also result in a geology and soils impact. As discussed in Section 4.2, Air Quality, construction activities proposed by the project could result in short-term air quality impacts associated with dust generation. The project would include the basic construction mitigation measures recommended by BAAQMD and identified in MM AIR -1, which would reduce this impact to a less than significant level. As discussed in Section 4.4, Biological Resources, project construction could disturb nesting raptors and/or migratory birds causing nest abandonment and/or loss of reproductive efforts. The project would include MM BI0- 1, which would reduce this impact to a less than significant level. Also discussed in Section 4.4, trees located immediately adjacent to the proposed additions and improvements could be harmed during project construction. The project would include tree protection measures identified in MM BIO -2, which would reduce this impact to a less than significant level. As discussed in Section 4.5, Cultural Resources, project construction could result in impacts to buried cultural resources or human remains. The project would include MM CUL -1, which would reduce this impact to a less City of Redwood City 104 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration Sandpiper Elementary School Facilities Expansion November 2016
