Prior geologic studies of the Affected Area have detected, among other <br /> <br />matters, downslope soil "creepage," several subsurface water seepage <br /> <br />zones, and the existence of "uncontrolled" landfill in various locations near <br /> <br />the roadway (Geologic Investigation Report, Gribaldo, Jones and <br /> <br />Associates, dated January 26, 1970). <br /> <br />n. The Affected Area is located within the seismically active San Francisco <br /> <br />Bay Area, and is approximately 2.5 miles from the active San Andreas <br /> <br />fault (id.). <br /> <br />o. Evidence of cracking in the roadway within the Affected Area has been <br /> <br />observed, which may indicate downslope earth movement. Pooled water <br /> <br />and other evidence of groundwater seepage have also been observed in <br /> <br />the roadway. Natural surface drainage has been altered by construction <br /> <br />of prior residences along Laurel Way and also by the extension of the <br /> <br />roadway. <br /> <br />p. The steep, uneven terrain affecting the lots in the Affected Area and the <br /> <br />above-described <br /> <br />geologic <br /> <br />and <br /> <br />seismic <br /> <br />conditions <br /> <br />require, <br /> <br />for <br /> <br />development, special attention to prevent landslides and similar adverse <br /> <br />geologic phenomena. <br /> <br />q.
