Areas Most Likely to Contain NOA: These area includes ultramafic rocks and serpentinite (serpentine rock), and associated soils, which are most likely to contain NOA. Areas Moderately Likely to Contain NOA:These areas include those metamorphic and igneous rocks that are moderately likely to contain NOA. Areas Least Likely to Contain NOA: These areas include those metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary rocks that are least likely to contain NOA.

Hazardous Waste Generation and Management There are four general categories of waste management: source reduction, recycling, treatment, and residuals disposal. All of these activities can occur on-site at the location where they are generated. Recycling, treatment, and disposal can also occur off-site but require additional intermediate support to store and transport waste. The generation and handling of hazardous waste in the region is monitored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board; Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District; and the Environmental Health and Hazardous Materials Control divisions of the six counties in the plan area. Businesses that generate hazardous waste are either Large-Quantity Generators (e.g., heavy industrial or commercial facilities) or Small-Quantity Generators (e.g., dry cleaners, automotive repair shops, etc.); these businesses require an EPA identification number used to monitor and track hazardous waste activities. Certain land uses may also serve as an indication that there is a potential for generating hazardous materials or waste, or existing hazardous materials or waste may be present. Hazardous wastes can be generated during a transportation project’s construction activities. Common examples include oil, transmission fluids, fuels, solvents, and adhesives. Unless standard precautions are taken during construction, these wastes can be released into the environment. Transport of Hazardous Materials The potential harm that hazardous waste can cause to people and the environment has warranted concern by national, state, and local governments on the safe transport of hazardous materials. Since hazardous materials are transported primarily on facilities shared by the public such as highways, rail lines and local roads, there is greater public exposure to these materials. The proposed MTP/SCS addresses the movement of goods and people throughout the region. Within the context of the proposed MTP/SCS, the transportation of hazardous materials can take place by motor vehicle, pipeline, rail, ship, and air. As with the movement of goods and people in general, the movement of hazardous materials can be defined by trips and modes. Any given “trip” from origin to destination can involve one or more “modes.” In other words, a shipment may begin on a truck and be transferred to a train and then again to another truck to reach its final destination. Table 10.1 describes a rough estimate of the volume of hazardous materials shipped in the region and the mode of transportation used. The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) regulates the transportation of hazardous materials by truck and rail, and the California Health Services Department regulates the haulers of hazardous waste. A valid registration issued by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) is required, unless specifically exempted, to transport hazardous wastes. The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requires all hazardous materials transporters to possess a MTP/SCS 2035 Sacramento Area Council of Governments Draft Environmental Impact Report Chapter 10 – Hazards and Hazardous Materials – Page 10-5
