<br />A-3. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? <br /> <br />Less Than Significant Impact <br /> <br />The City of Santa Ana is situated within a highly active seismic <br />region of southern California. A total of 38 active faults have <br />been identified within an approximate 60-mile radius of the <br />City. The Newport/rnglewood Fault located approximately 7 miles <br />south from the City of Santa Ana is considered to be one of the <br />most dominant faults in regard to potential seismic shaking <br />impacts. Along the Newport/Inglewood fault an earthquake on the <br />magnitude of 6.9 could potentially occur. A seismic event of <br />this scale could result in significant damage to the City. <br />Additionally, according to the General Plan Land Use Element <br />EIR, the potential for liquefaction hazards in the City ranges <br />from very low to very high. However, the seismic risks in Santa <br />Ana are not considered significantly different from other areas <br />in the southern California region. <br /> <br />Approval and implementation of the proposed project would not <br />increase the risk for seismic shaking impacts or liquefaction <br />impacts, in that the proposed project would not directly involve <br />the construction of new structures that would increase the risk <br />for seismic shaking impacts or seismically induced liquefaction <br />impacts. <br /> <br />A-4. Landslides <br /> <br />No Impacts <br /> <br />According to the City's General Plan Land Use <br />are no landslides within the City. Therefore, <br />proposed project would not increase the risks <br />impacts. <br /> <br />Element EIR there <br />approval of the <br />for landslide <br /> <br />B. <br /> <br />Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the <br />10ss of topsoil? <br /> <br />Less Than Significant Impact <br /> <br />Approval of the proposed project would not increase the <br />potential for soil erosion or sedimentation impacts, in that <br />approval of the proposed project would not involve any <br />construction activities that would disturb or uncover existing <br />soils.
