LSA ASSOCIATES, INC. SEPTEMBER 2016 ROCKETSHIP REDWOOD CITY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PROJECT INITIAL STUDY/ MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION P:\RWC1401B Rocketship School\PRODUCTS\IS-MND\Public\Rocketship Public Review 09-29-16.docx (09/29/16) PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT 58 d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? (No Impact) California Government Code Section 65962.5 requires the compiling of lists of the following types of hazardous materials sites: hazardous waste facilities; hazardous waste discharges for which the State Water Quality Control Board has issued certain types of orders; public drinking water wells containing detectable levels of organic contaminants; underground storage tanks with reported unauthorized releases; and solid waste disposal facilities from which hazardous waste has migrated. Records searches were performed as part of the Phase I ESA. In addition, searches were conducted on November 14, 2014, using the GeoTracker database maintained by the State Water Resources Control Board, the EnviroStor database maintained by the Department of Toxics Substance Control, and the EnviroMapper database maintained by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The project site was not listed in any of these databases as a hazardous materials site. Therefore, there would be no impact related to listing on hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? (No Impact) The project site is located approximately 2.5 miles southeast of the San Carlos Airport and approximately 13 miles southeast of the San Francisco International Airport (SFO), and is located within the Airport Influence Area (AIA) of both airports.73,74 The project site is not located near any private use airstrips. The project site is located within Area A of the AIA Boundary of both the San Carlos Airport and SFO. AIA Boundary A defines the area where real estate disclosures are mandatory due to potential noise issues. The project site is outside of Area B boundaries for both airports, which requires City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County Airport Land Use Committee review to ensure that the proposed allowable development is consistent with aviation safety requirements. Since the proposed project is outside the Area B boundary and because the height of the building would not increase compared to existing conditions, the project would not be considered a potential obstruction hazard for aircraft using either airport. Therefore, the proposed project would not cause a hazard to air navigation or result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area. f) For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
