Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act <br />Redwood City Transit District DTPP Amendments 22 ESA / 202100421.00 <br />Subsequent Environmental Impact Report October 2022 <br />Consequently, there would be no impact from implementation of the proposed Transit District <br />DTPP Amendments. (Draft SEIR, p. 15-10.) <br />16. Geology and Soils <br />Impact GEO-1: Implementation of the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would <br />not directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, <br />injury, or death involving rupture of a known earthquake fault; strong seismic ground <br />shaking; seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction; or landslides. <br />All future development would be subject to the state and local laws in place to ensure that <br />new developments are constructed in accordance with the CBC and are structurally sound. <br />Specifically, all future developments would be required to undergo a geotechnical investigation <br />and submit a geotechnical report prior to construction, which would inform the geotechnical design <br />of all structures to ensure they are able to withstand any impacts from seismic hazards, such as <br />strong ground shaking and liquefaction. Compliance with all applicable state and local laws would <br />ensure that impacts from the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would not result in new <br />or more severe impacts related to seismic hazards than the impacts identified in the DTPP Final <br />EIR. Therefore, impacts related to seismic hazards would be less than significant. (Draft SEIR, p. <br />16-9.) <br />Impact GEO-3: Implementation of the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would <br />not be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a <br />result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, <br />subsidence, liquefaction or collapse. <br />Risks associated with unstable geologic units or soil are low, however, effects of strong <br />seismic ground shaking and liquefaction would present a potentially significant impact. Compliance <br />with all applicable local and state laws (i.e., the California Building Code [CBC]) would ensure that <br />all future developments within the proposed Transit District would be designed consistent with the <br />CBC, which would ensure that new structures would not be susceptible to the effects of unstable <br />geologic units and soils. The impacts of the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would <br />not result in new or more severe impacts related to unstable geologic units than those identified in <br />the DTPP Final EIR. Therefore, the impact would be less than significant. (Draft SEIR, p. 16-11.) <br />Impact GEO-5: Implementation of the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would <br />not have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste <br />water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water. <br />No septic systems would be installed in the Transit District area. As future developments <br />would connect to the existing sewer system, there would be a less-than-significant impact related <br />to the suitability of the soils. (Draft SEIR, p. 16-12.)
