10/11/2010 Attachment 1.A associated with the use, storage, generation and disposal of hazardous materials is expected to render this potential impact less than significant. • Impact 4.7 -2: Adoption of the New General Plan would allow the redevelopment of sites with known or unknown soil and /or groundwater contamination and /or buildings containing asbestos or lead -based paint, which could expose construction workers and /or the public to these hazardous materials. Implementation of policies and programs in the New General Plan is expected to minimize the risks associated with such redevelopment activities, ensuring that this potential impact will be less than significant. • Impact 4.7 -3: Adoption of the New General Plan would allow for new development within an area covered by an adopted airport land use plan. Policies and implementation programs in the New General Plan related to aviation safety would consider established airport safety zones and would achieve consistency between the New General Plan and applicable airport land use plans, making this potential impact less than significant. • Impact 4.7 -4: Adoption of the New General Plan would allow for new development and an increase in population and housing, which could introduce additional traffic and potentially impact emergency response and evacuation planning. The New General Plan contains several new policies and implementation programs to improve emergency services in the City, the implementation of which is expected to reduce this potential impact to a less- than - significant level. • Impact 4.7 -5: Adoption of the New General Plan would allow development in areas that are at risk for wildland fires. Compliance with existing state and local fire regulations, together with the implementation of New General Plan policies and programs designed to reduce potential risks associated with wildland fires, will ensure that this potential impact is less than significant. 4.8 Hydrology and Water Quality • Impact 4.8 -1: Construction activities associated with development allowed by the New General Plan could disturb surface soils by grading, earthmoving, and vegetation removal, which could result in erosion, sedimentation, and contamination of storm water runoff, potentially in violation of water quality standards. Adherence to federal, state and regional water quality regulations, including the Clean Water Act and Regional Water Quality Control Board regulations, and implementation of new policies and programs in the New General Plan designed to maintain and enhance water quality, is expected to minimize this potential impact to a less - than - significant level.
