3.10 Hazards and Hazardous Materials
headquarters facilities. The discussion of the risks associated with transporting and handling
hazardous materials (Impact 3.10‐1) is also applicable to the headquarters facilities alone;
therefore, no additional analysis related to the headquarters facilities is necessary. Likewise, the
discussion of risk associated with wildland fire (Impact 3.10‐3) is applicable to the headquarters
facilities alone and no additional analysis is necessary.
The following analyses address potential impacts specific to the construction or operation of the
headquarters facilities alone. These potential impacts are different from the potential impacts
described above which could be caused by implementing the rest of the General Plan elements.
IMPACT
3.10-4
Potential Risks Associated with Locating Headquarters Facilities Near an Airport
Nighttime lighting at Clay Pit SVRA could pose a hazard risk associated with nighttime flights to
and from the adjacent airport. However, nighttime security lighting at the headquarters building
required for safety and security purposes would be minimal. In addition, DU Guideline 2.1 in the
Clay Pit SVRA General Plan includes measures that would minimize potential light pollution.
Exterior lighting would be restricted to entry and exit areas, light would be directed downward,
and the height of parking lot lighting would be restricted. Sodium vapor lighting would not be
permissible.
Because nighttime lighting at the headquarters facilities would be minimal, and implementation of
DU Guideline 2.1 would reduce light pollution, this impact would be less than significant.
Mitigation Measures: No mitigation is required.
Summary of Significant Impacts
Adoption of the Clay Pit SVRA General Plan and implementation of resulting actions would not
result in significant impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials. Constructing and
operating the headquarters facilities would also not result in significant impacts related to hazards
and hazardous materials.
3.10.5 Mitigation Measures
No significant impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials would result with
implementation of the General Plan, including construction and operation of the headquarters
facilities, and no mitigation is required.
