6.2A Page 37 cross streets along the construction route. These travel restrictions could impede or block access to such areas by emergency service providers during construction. Due to the limited alternative access routes at Guava Place in Newark, Bay Road in Menlo Park, and Hillcrest Drive, Oak Knoll Drive, and Bennett Road in Redwood City, Project construction could have a temporary but significant impact on emergency access from adjacent roadways to some local residences. . Mitigation Measure TRN la: Traffic Control Plan Measures . Mitigation Measure TRN-6: Coordination with Emergency Service Providers Impact UTL-l: The Project would be inconsistent with local statutes and regulations related to solid waste. The Project would comply with required federal and State statutes related to solid waste disposal. However, without a waste diversion plan, the Project would not be consistent with local construction waste diversion requirements of the County of San Mateo or the cities of East Palo Alto and Menlo Park. . Mitigation Measure UTL-l: Waste Reduction Measures Impact UTL-2: Project construction may result in temporary disruption of local utilities. Approximately 860 utility lines cross the existing RIGHT OF WAY throughout the study area including, but not limited to, cable television, communications, telephone, electrical, electrical overhead, fiber optics, gas, irrigation, water, railroad signal, storm drain, traffic signal, sanitary sewer, and street lighting. Large groupings of utilities are collocated with major streets and in areas where the RIGHT OF WAY parallels a street for a long distance or crosses many streets. These are identified in the Draft EIR on pages 4.17-17 and 4.17-18. Due to the abundance of utilities located within the RIGHT OF WAY, the Project has the potential to disrupt one or more of these utilities. Disruption could occur from anyone of the following construction activities: the open-trench construction method for pipeline installation, repair, or replacement; tunnel construction at the tunnel shafts; construction of vaults and valve lots; or other Project construction activities. .

Construction of the proposed Project would result in permanent and temporary impacts on federal and State-jurisdictional waters and wetlands as well as impacts on special-status species. Several of the other projects in the vicinity ofBDPL No.5 (see Draft EIR Table 6-1) would affect the same types of habitats as the proposed Project, including wetland habitats and other jurisdictional waters, riparian vegetation and other sensitive natural communities (collectively referred to as sensitive habitats). The Project's additive, incremental effect during construction would be cumulatively significant before mitigation, as it would temporarily displace species from breeding, foraging, and sheltering habitat.
