CEQA – INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
• 30-day public review period, from September 8, 2023, through October 9, 2023.
• 2 Comments Received:
• Hetch Hetchy Regional Water System Email: Advisement of proximity of SFPUC’s water transmission pipeline located in Orange Avenue public right-of-way adjacent to Project Site, dated September 25, 2023 • State Clearinghouse Email: Advisement no mailed hard copies of Public Notices can be accepted; future notices to be emailed: Email dated September 26, 2023
CEQA – MITIGATION MEASURES
• CEQA Review: Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) • The IS/MND identified the following mitigation measures which would reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels:
o MM BIO-1: Minimizes biological resources impacts to stormwater drainage and Colma Creek through management of exposed soils and vehicle fueling and maintenance.
o MM-BIO-2: Minimizes biological resources impacts to nesting birds. o MM CUL-1: Minimizes cultural resources impacts to unknown archaeological resources. o MM-CUL-2: Minimizes cultural resources impacts in the event that human remains are discovered. o MM-GEO-1: Minimizes geology and soils impacts from seismic-related hazards. o MM-HAZ-1 and MM-HAZ 2: Minimizes hazards and hazardous materials impacts due to the disposal of and exposure to hazardous materials.
o MM-NO-1: Minimizes noise and vibration impacts related to generation of substantial temporary or a permanent increase in ambient noise levels.
o MM TCR-1: Minimizes tribal cultural resources impacts in the event that unanticipated prehistoric cultural resources (or TCRs) are exposed during project construction.
CEQA – SUMMARY
• Comments received have not raised any issues that would require recirculation of the IS/MND or preparation of an environmental impact report
• No new significant effects were identified
• No new mitigation measures were added and proposed revisions to the mitigation measures would result in measures that are equivalent or more effective,
• Significance of identified impacts remains unchanged, and • All impacts are either below significance levels or reduced to that level through application of identified mitigation.
