This Mitigated Negative Dcclaration has bcen prepared in accordance with Section 15070 of the State CEQA Guidelines, Water/Drainage The project site is not located within the FEMA Floodway Frequency Boundary and is outside the 500-year flood plain, No flooding impacts would result rrom development of the industrial building. Existing on-site and off-sitc drainage facilities would not be adequate to serve the proposed project The existing on-site drainage facility consists of an earthen swale along the southern portion of the property, The preJiminary grading and improvement plans and drainage study that have been submitted by the appJicant indicate that the following drainage improvements will be necessary: · Rcplacement of the existing off~site 18-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), that runs across Bay Boulevard, with two 24-inch RCPs; and, · Insta]]ation of rip-rap (drainage faciJity that contains large boulders to catch fast flowing water) across Bay Boulevard to the west at the north and south end of property and; · Insta]]ation of on-site drainage improvcments that includc installation of a dirt swale with catch basin and 24-inch and 27-inch RCPs along the southern portion, According to the Engineering Division of the PubJic Works Department, the proposed preJiminary drainage improvements appear to be adequate to handle the increased on-site and ofT-site drainage that will be generated by the proposed project Prior to the issuance of the grading penn it, the Engineering Division wi]] detennine the required drainage improvements, Compliance with National Pollutant Discharge EJimination System (NPDES) Order No, 2001-01 and implementation of appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPs) to the satisfaction of the City Engineer are required during and after development to prevent erosion and sedimentation, as we]] as the discharge of other pollutants, into the downstream stonn drain system, NPDES Order No, 2001- 01 requires a]] parking lots of 5,000 square feet or more, or with 15 or more parking spaces, and potentially exposed to urban runofTto provide appropriate BMPs, All grading operations wi]] be performed in compliance with the City of Chula Vista Grading Ordinance (Ordinance 1797, as amended). Short-term erosion of the cut and fill slopes would be reduced to a less than significant level by the installation of temporary desilting and erosion control devices to the satisfaction of the City EngineeL These devices include de silting basins, berms, hay bales, silt fences, dikes, and shoring, Protective devices wi]] be provided at every storm drain inlet to prevent sediment from entering the storm drain system, Additional erosion control measures will be installed as required by the City EngineeL No significant impacts to ground water would result because there would be no additions or withdrawals from the local aquifeL Compliance with NPDES Order No, 2001-01, through the implementation of appropriate BMPs, as specified below in Section F. would mitigate potentially significant water quality impacts tD belDw a level Df significance, 2 08/07/02 Air Quality Based upon the limited amount of site grading that will be necessary to accommodate the proposed development and the projected amount of project-generated tTaffic, 231 Average Daily Trips (ADTs). the proposal would not result in the violation of any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation, The proposed project would potentially generate sufficient construction vehicle emissions and dust during construction-related operations to result in a short- tenn significant, but mitigable, impact to air quality, Fugitive dust would be created during construction operations as a result of clearing, earth movement, and travel on unpaved surfaces, Although air quality impacts resulting from construction-related operations are potentially significant, they are considered short-tenn in duration since construction-related activities are a relatively short- term, one-time activity, Dust control during grading operations would be regulated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the County of San Diego Air Pollution Control District (APCD) and the California Air Resources Board, Construction operations will be subject to the mitigation measures outlined below in Section F, Geophysical The project site, consisting of 1,95 acres, contains a building pad that has been sheet-graded to the southwest, and no structures currently exist on the site, A geological investigation of the project site was conducted to evaluate the on-site geology and potential geologic hazards that might affect the proposed project According to the preliminary geotechnical study prepared by Geotechnical Exploration, [nc" dated May 24, 2002, no faults were shown to cross the project site, To date, the nearest known active fault to the subject site is the northwest Rose Canyon fault located approximately 7,3 miles trom the site, According to the study, the risk of on-site liquefaction due to seismic shaking is considered to be remote due to the high density of the natural ground matenaL According to the study, there are no known geophysical conditions on the site that would expose people to geologic or earth hazards, A natural swale runs east to west across the south portion of the property. The swale feeds into a cleanout and catch basin along the southwest portion of the project site, The proponent proposes to install two desilting basins, one at the northwest comer and another at the southwest corner of the site, The drainage would continue to flow into the drainage system at that location which travels under Bay Boulevard and then above ground, further south along Bay Boulevard, The project site will be graded and paved to accommodate the industrial building and parking lot Minimal grading will take place closest to the freeway along the eastern portion of the project site. The existing elevation of the project site is 27,5 feet above sea-level and the proposed elevation will not differ much from the existing elevation. The applicant proposes to import 1,700 cubic yards of fill to spread across the site, The fill soil would be obtained from the grading of the Phase 11 area of the L Street Self Storage project located at 707 "L" Street, northeast of Interstate 5. Compliance with the Traffic Engineering requirements regarding the transporting of soil along approved hauling routes is required. The haulmg regulation IS suftìcient to mitigate any potential impacts to a level of less than significant Although grading operatlOns will be perfonned m compliance with the City of Chula Vista Grading Ordinance (Ordinance 1797, as amended), significant erOSlOn Impacts could occur dunng the excavation and construction period due to disruptions of the soiL Soil erosion could result in sedimentation in the stonn drain system resulting in a significant impact unless mitigated to a level of 3 08107/02 less than significant Compliance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Order No, 2001-01 and the implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) during and after construction to prevent erosion and the discharge of sediment into the downstream storm drain system wi]] be required. Soils erosion impacts would be mitigated to below a level of significance through implementation of the measures contained in Section F below, Aesthetics The project is located in an urbanized area, The proposed project consists of a 31,781 square-foot, 26-foot high single story concrete tilt-up warehouse building with wa]]s to separate individual units for warehousing and administrative offices, Proposed on-site improvements include landscaped treatments, paved parking lot, and retaining wa]]s, There would be no building height impediments that would block any scenic vista or public viewpoints on, or adjacent to, the property as the project meets the City's building height limitation, The proposed project as designed would not result In signitìcant aesthetic Impacts or create addItIOnal light spi]]age onto Interstate 5 or adjacent Bayfront properties and street segments, Hazards The proposed project would not involve operations involving hazardous substances at this time, As a standard condition, upon tenant improvements a business plan that identifies the type, location, storage and use of any hazardous materials sha]] be filed with the City Fire Department and County of San Diego Environmental Health Department The development of the industrial building would not interfere with existing emergency response or evacuation plans. According to the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) prepared by CERES Technologies, Inc., dated June 12,2000, an area of stained soil (lO-feet x l2-feet) was reported, Based on this finding a Phase II ESA, was prepared by the same consultant According to the amended Phase II ESA report, dated October 9, 2001, measurable mitigation would be achieved with excavation and removal of the soil by a licensed hazardous waste hauleL The amount of soil removed fi]]ed approximately two Department of Transportation (DOT) approved 55-gallon drums, According to an environmental assessment letter report sent to the Environmental Section, prepared by CERES Technologies, dated November 12, 2001, the remediation and removal work was completed by a licensed hazardous waste hauleL This remediation action rendered the soil contamination to a level of less than significance, No mitigation measures are required, E Public Comments On August 5, 2002, a Notice of Initial Study was circulated to property owners within a 500-foot radius of the proposed project sik The public review period ended August 16,2002, F, Mitigation Necessary to Avoid Significant Impacts Geophysical L Prior to the commencement of grading, temporary desilting and erosion control devices sha]] be insta]]ed, These devices include desilting basins, berms, hay bales, silt fences, dikes and shoring, 4 08107/02 Protecti ve devices will be provided at every storm drain Inlet to prevent sedIment from entering the storm drain system, These measures shall be reflected in the grading and improvement plans to the satisfaction of the City EngineeL 2, Prior to the commcncement of grading, catch basin filters shall be installed to prevent trash and silt from entering the stonn drain system, Catch basin filters shall be maintained and inspected as scheduled by the City of Chula Vista Engineering Department.
