Findings: The project would result in short term exposure of persons to demolition and construction related noise levels. Although EBMUD is not subject to local zoning ordinances for projects involving the transmission of water (refer to Government Code section 53091) EBMUD strives to consider local noise ordinances during construction, where feasible and not contrary to its public purpose and responsibilities. By limiting work hours and implementing best management construction practices established by the City of Oakland, noise resulting from the project is considered Less than Significant. Measures limiting work hours are identified in Mitigation Measure NOI-1 in the MND and MMRP. Best Management Practices (BMPs) related to Noise Control and Noise Complaint Procedures are identified in Mitigation NOI-2 and NOI-3 respectively in the MND and MMRP. While BMPs related to construction practices will limit vibrations, preconstruction home surveys are available in the unlikely and remote event that the project is demonstrated to have caused any damage to residences. The surveys are described in Mitigation NOI-4 in the MND and MMRP. EBMUD finds that the implementation of Mitigation Measures NOI-1, NOI-2, NOI-3, and NOI-4, as detailed in the MND, would reduce impacts to a Less than Significant level. Facts in Support of Findings: Measures NOI-1, NOI-2, NOI-3, and NOI-4 are hereby incorporated and imposed and shall be monitored in compliance with the MMRP. Because EBMUD has agreed to these mitigations, any such impacts have been avoided or will be reduced to a Less than Significant level. As a result of these project circumstances, and by employing these mitigation measures, the Project will have Less than Significant impact to Noise Resources. H. Transportation/Traffic Impacts: Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Findings: The project would generate vehicle trips during project construction, temporarily contributing to increased traffic on local roadways. Truck trips would be associated with hauling materials, debris and equipment to and from the site. Construction employees would also contribute to vehicle trips. The near-term impact to intersections is Significant But Mitigable. Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRAF-1 requiring a Traffic Management Plan with Specified Elements identified in the MND and MMRP will lessen potential impacts to a Less than Significant level. The long-term cumulative impact of the project is Less than Significant as the project would generate less vehicle trips than the existing project due to minimal maintenance requirements for a new pipeline.
Facts in Support of Findings: Measure TRAF-1 is hereby incorporated and imposed and shall be monitored in compliance with the MMRP. Because EBMUD has agreed to this mitigation, any such impacts have been avoided or will be reduced to a Less than Significant level. As a result of these project circumstances, and by employing these mitigation measures, the Project will have Less than Significant impact to Traffic Resources. I. Utilities and Service Systems Impacts: Less than Significant Impact Findings: The project will require the excavation of in-place soils. Soils and any solid waste encountered in the excavations will be disposed of at an appropriate landfill identified by the contractor as required in EBMUD construction specifications regarding material off-haul and disposal The project will comply with applicable statues and regulations related to solid waste. As a result of these project circumstances, the Project will have Less than Significant impacts to <strong>Utility</strong> and Service Systems Resources. J. Agricultural Resources Impact: No Impact Findings: The project site is not designated as prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance. It is located within an urban area surrounded by residential uses. The project site is not currently zoned for agricultural use nor is it under a Williamson Act contract for agricultural preservation. As a result of these project circumstances, the Project will have no impacts to agricultural resources K. Cultural Resources Impact: No Impact. Findings The project site is located on developed land that has been subject to extensive prior excavation and disturbance. All project work will occur in areas that have been previously disturbed. It is unlikely that unique archeological, paleontology resources or human remains exist along the project alignments. However, if remains of archeological features or human remains are uncovered during trench excavation work, the standard protocol will be followed to preserve and protect such features. Generally this will consist of immediately stopping work until such time as a qualified archeologist or the county coroner can make a determination of significance for archeological and human remains, respectively.
