e) Be located within an airport land use plan or, where
such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles
of a public airport or public use airport? If so, would
the project result in a safety hazard for people
residing or working in the project area?
f) Be located in the vicinity of a private airstrip? If so,
would the project result in a safety hazard for people
residing or working in the project area?
g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with
an adopted emergency response plan or emergency
evacuation plan?
h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of
loss, injury, or death from wildland fires, including
areas where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas
or where residences are intermixed with wildlands?
DISCUSSION
a-b) Project activities associated with the proposed Asian Clam Control Project could require
the use of certain hazardous materials, such as fuels, oils, lubricants or other fluids
associated with the operation and maintenance of boats and barges. Generally, these
materials would be contained within vessels engineered for safe storage. Large quantities
of these materials would not be stored at or transported to the project site; however, spills,
upsets, or other construction related accidents could result in an inadvertent release of fuel
or other hazardous substances into the environment. Implementation of MITIGATION
MEASURE HAZMAT-1 and MITIGATION MEASURE HYDRO-1 (Chapter 2) will reduce
the potential for adverse impacts from these incidents to a less than significant level.
c) There are no existing or proposed schools in the vicinity of the project area. No impact.
d) The Proposed Action would not occur on or near any hazardous materials sites compiled
pursuant to Government Code §65962.5. No area within the project site is currently
restricted or known to have hazardous materials present. No impact.
e) The proposed project activities do not occur within 2 miles of an airport. No impact.
f) The proposed activities do not occur in the vicinity of a private airstrip. No impact.
g) The proposed project would not impair or interfere with an adopted emergency response
plan or emergency evacuation plan because activities could be delayed to respond to
