City of Santa Ana Environmental Checklist through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous waste during operation of the proposed project. Impacts would be less than significant with implementation of Mitigation Measure HAZ -1. Mitigation Measure HAZ -1. Prior to receipt of a demolition permit, the applicant will submit proof to the City's Planning and Building Division showing that a certified asbestos and lead inspector has conducted a survey and testing of the existing structures on the project site to identify any asbestos - or lead- containing materials. If identified, the applicant will submit proof that lead -based paint materials and asbestos - containing materials have been removed according to proper abatement procedures. All abatement activities will be in compliance with California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and SCAQMD requirements. Only trained and certified lead and asbestos abatement personnel will be allowed to perform abatement activities. All lead and asbestos - containing materials removed from the project site will be hauled to a licensed receiving facility and disposed of under proper manifest, if needed, by a transportation company certified to handle lead and asbestos- containing materials. Following completion of the lead and asbestos abatement, a report documenting the abatement procedures used, the volume of asbestos - containing materials removed, and where the material was moved to will be provided to the City. The report will also include transportation and disposal manifests of- dump tickets. b. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions Involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? Less- than - Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. As discussed in Vlll.a, the existing structures on the project site were developed during the time when asbestos and lead were common in general building materials. As a result and to reduce potential impacts on asbestos and lead containing materials to a less- than - significant level, Mitigation Measure HAZ -1 has been incorporated which requires the site structures to be surveyed for asbestos and lead containing materials and requires removal of any identified hazardous material prior to demolition. Project construction activities would involve a limited use of hazardous materials. Equipment that would be used in construction of the proposed project has the potential to release oils, greases, solvents, and other finishing materials through accidental spills. However, the consequences of construction- related spills are not substantial because the volume of hazardous materials held within any single piece of construction equipment is limited. Construction - related spills of hazardous materials are not uncommon, but the enforcement of construction and demolition standards, including BMPs by appropriate local and state agencies, would minimize the potential for an accidental release of petroleum products and /or hazardous materials or explosions during construction. Federal, state, and local regulations would be followed by the construction contractor to reduce the effects of potential hazardous materials spills. Operation of the proposed project would also use and store a limited amount of hazardous materials including solvents, cleaning agents, paints, and pesticides. Large volumes of these hazardous materials would not be stored on site. Any spill or release of the hazardous materials stored or routinely used in operation of the project is not anticipated to have the volume to result in a significant hazard to residents or workers in the vicinity of the project. Further, because the project would comply with federal, state, and local hazardous waste regulations and implement Mitigation Measure HAZ -1, the proposed project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the The Bat Nha Buddhist Meditation Center 3-47 June 2013 Initial Study /Mltigated Negative Declaration ICF 00215.12 31 C -100
