Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act Redwood City Transit District DTPP Amendments 19 ESA / 202100421.00 Subsequent Environmental Impact Report October 2022 non-residential buildings, and provide EV charging infrastructure in compliance with CALGreen Tier 2 requirements. With implementation of Mitigation Measure CC-1, the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would meet these thresholds, resulting in an increase in GHG emissions that is not cumulatively considerable, and thus would not exacerbate sea level rise. For these reasons, the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would not exacerbate effects of sea level rise and would not result in new or more severe impacts than what was identified in the DTPP Final EIR. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. (Draft SEIR, pp. 13-45 to 13-46.) 14. Hazards and Hazardous Materials Impact HAZ-1: Implementation of the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. All activities associated with handling hazardous materials during future development would be subject to the federal, state, and local laws in place to ensure the safe handling (transport, use, and disposal) of hazardous materials. Compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws would ensure that impacts from the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would not result in new or more severe impacts than the impacts identified in the DTPP Final EIR. Therefore, impacts related to the transport, use, and disposal of hazardous materials would be less than significant. (Draft SEIR, p. 14-6.) Impact HAZ-2: Implementation of the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. All activities associated with handling hazardous materials during future development would be subject to the federal, state, and local laws in place to ensure the proper handling of hazardous materials, in the event of an accidental release. Compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws would ensure that impacts from the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would not result in new or more severe impacts than the impacts identified in the DTPP Final EIR. Therefore, impacts related to the accidental release of hazardous materials would be less than significant. (Draft SEIR, pp. 14-6 to 14-7.) Impact HAZ-3: Implementation of the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would not emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. Future development within the Transit District area would require construction and possibly demolition activities, which would require the emission, transport, use, and disposal of hazardous materials within one-quarter mile of a school. All activities associated with handling hazardous materials during future development would be subject to the federal, state, and local laws in place to ensure the proper handling of hazardous materials, in the event of an accidental release. Compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws would ensure that impacts from the
