HAZ-7 Expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires? Summary of Impacts in the GP EIR As discussed in Section 5.8, Haf�ardr and Hatiardous Materials, of the GP EIR, residences within the city are exposed to levels of toxic releases from industrial facilities waste sites (GP EIR p. 5.8-36). The Approved Project would change land use designations so some industrial areas would be designated as industrial flex to allow cleaner industrial uses and a mix of other nonindustrial uses, and no expansion of industrial uses would occur. However, the Approved Project would introduce new residences near existing industrial uses in environmental justice (EJ) communities, but adherence to local, State, and federal policies regarding the storage, transport, and disposal of hazardous materials as well as GP policies would reduce impacts to less than significant. The City contains elevated lead constructions in EJ communities, and the Approved Project would introduce new sensitive receptors to industrial uses (GP EIR p. 5.8-415.8-42). Implementation of GP policies would reduce impacts to less than significant. Buildings within the city contain asbestos -containing materials and lead - based paint that may accidentally be released; however, with compliance with RR HAZ-4 and implementation of applicable GP policies, impacts would be reduced to less than significant (GP EIR p. 5.8-41-5.8-42). The Approved Project would induce future development that would involve the use of potentially hazardous materials; however, these substances would be used in such small quantities and stored in a manner that would not pose a significant safety hazard (GP EIR p. 5.8-42-5.8-43). Adherence to existing local, state, and federal laws, emergency response plan requirements set by the Orange County Fire Authority, RRs HAZ-1 through HAZ-5, and GP policies would reduce impacts to less than significant. The city includes 355 hazardous materials sites, with only 63 active or open sites (GP EIR p. 5.8-27). Any future development would require environmental site assessment to ensure the project would not disturb hazardous materials. With implementation of RRs HAZ-1 through HAZ-5 and GP policies, impacts would be less than significant Part of the city is within John Wayne Airport QWA) safety compatibility Zone 6 of the Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP), and parts of the city contain areas where heights are limited pursuant to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations (GP EIR p. 5.8-29-5.8-30). Projects approved under the proposed GP that fall within an identified AELUP and FAA zone would be required to comply with FAA airspace protection regulations using the AELUP consistency determination process. Thus, impacts are considered less than significant. With adherence to FAA, AELUP, GP policies, and RR HAZ-7, impacts would be less than significant. The Approved Project would induce population growth and traffic; the increases in traffic could adversely affect accident or natural disaster evacuation plans and routes (GP EIR p.5.8-45-5.8-46). However, the Approved Project would not result in substantial changes to circulation patterns, emergency access routes, or otherwise interfere with use of evacuation routes.
