EIR related to Geology Studies Concerns. <br />11-19-2019 at 9:45AM <br />The first geology study that was performed is too general to certify the project is safe from liquefaction. <br />The second (Geosoils, 2017) might suffice as a seismic hazard study, however, it was certified as a soils study. <br />Does Geosoils, 2017 have sufficient accuracy, scope, and depth ? Park Santiago's legal advisors don't believe <br />so and will be sending formal comments to City. <br />Only professional geologists or civil engineers are qualified to decide or put their seal on that decision, and <br />therein lies the problem <br />- there have been NO independent reviews of the report by engineering professionals with expertise in <br />that area. <br />The developer commissioned the Geosoils report preemptively, handing the highly technical report's assessment <br />to overworked planning staff, not engineering professionals with expertise in that area. <br />
