INITIAL STUDY REGARDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A TWO LANE ACCESS
ROAD CONNECTING TO THE HACIENDA INTERCHANGE AND PARALLEL TO
INTERSTATE 580 FROM DOUGHERTY ROAD EAST TO TASSAJARA ROAD.
Part II. Environmental Impacts - Explanation of Answers.
lb. EARTH
Compaction of the soil under the roadbed will occur during the
construction of the road. It shall be performed pursuant to
standard engineering practices and the requirements of a
geotechnical report. Any compaction will occur only under the
roadway and will not impact other soils nearby. Minor
disruptions, displacements or overcovering of the soil will occur
only under the roadway and will not impact other soils nearby.
lc. EARTH
Due to the relatively flat terrain along the right-of-way there
will be no change in topography during construction of the
roadway. Minor changes will occur to ground surface relief
features under the roadway but will not impact adjacent ground
surface relief features.
1~ EARTH
A portion of the site is located within an Alquist-Priolo Special
study Zone which has evidence of 3 traces of the Pleasanton
Fault.
Design and construction of a roadway will include a geotechnical
report which precisely locates the faults. Roadways and
utilities which cross the fault lines will be designed to
minimize damage or loss resulting from the highest magnitude
seismic occurrence anticipated for the site.
2a. AIR
This project could provide access for up to 17,000 vehicles per
day and would allow the bypassing of the Hacienda Interchange as
required by Federal and State regulations. A portion of these
vehicles would be displaced from 1-580 and would use this
facility as a frontage road to avoid congestion on 1-580. To the
extent that displaced vehicles would not be idling on the
freeway, fewer pollutants will be generated. This project of
itself would not attract significant additional traffic. The
pollutants generated by this facility will not exceed state or
national air quality standards.
3a. WATER
Minor localized changes to currents in Tassajara Creek may occur
due to the placement of the road over the creek. These currents
will be minimized by the construction of the facility pursuant to
hydraulic studies. There will be no changes in the course of
direction of water movements.
3h. WATER
This project, of itself, would not contribute substantial
additional run-off which could affect downstream flooding. A
portion of the site is located in a 100-year flood zone. Ail
drainage will be adequate to prevent downstream flooding and to
meet Federal, State and local standards.
4a. PLANT LIFE and 5a. ANIMAL LIFE
Biological surveys were conducted at Camp Parks (at the
alternative site for a Northern California Veterans Cemetery)
between August 18 and September 5, 1986. Spring plant surveys
were also conducted in 1985 by the Environmental office of the
sixth U.S. Army. These studies concluded that no endangered,
threatened or candidate species of plants or animals exist on the
site (Veterans Administration, FEIS, pp. 4-42 to 48 (SCH#
86080507)). The site supports introduced annual grasses and
pioneer weed species with California ground squirrels and
graniferous bird species. A channelized, intermittent creek
passes along Camp Parks at the eastern boundary. The creek
supports no riparian habitat. This project would have minimal
effects on the creek. Other, future development in the area
should consider rejuvenation of the creek through grading and
replanting with a small riparian plant community.
The County property is identical to the Camp Parks property
immediately adjacent to the west. Like Camp Parks, the County
property has been substantially disturbed by agricultural grading
operations, grazing, grading, dumping and use as a Naval
Hospital. It has been determined after a site analysis by staff
and review of environmental documents (Veterans Administration
FEIS, SCH# 86080507; Environmental Assessment for the Federal
Detention Center Federal Correctional Institution Pleasanton,
California (Louis Berger and Associates, Inc. September 1987);
East Dublin GPA Environmental Setting (Work Task~9, November 29,
1988), that due to habitat destruction the County property
contains no endangered, threatened or candidate species of plants
or animals. The eastern portion of the County property is
bisected by Tassajara Creek. A March 1990 field trip revealed
that in the area of the proposed road crossing, the creek
supports grasses similar to the area above the bank and is devoid
of riparian shrub and tree species. The project would not have
any adverse affect on the biotic community in either the Camp
Parks or Alameda County portion of the site.
13a. and 13c. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION
The existing Level Of Service (LOS) for the Dougherty Road/Dublin
Boulevard intersection to the west of the proposed right-of-way
is LOS C. It is anticipated that by 1995 this intersection would
be operating at LOS D. Tassajara Road to the east is currently
operating at LOS A and is anticipated to be operating at LOS B or
better. The intersection of the future Hacienda Boulevard at the
two lane road extension is anticipated to operate at LOS B or
better.
A facility like the proposed two lane access road would typically
have a capacity of 17,000 vehicles per day. There are no
existing land uses adjacent to the proposed roadway that would
generate traffic to add to the demands on adjacent roadways. As
an alternate route to 1-580, the roadway could actually reduce
impacts to that highway. Future development of the surrounding
area will not occur until the completion of the East Dublin
General Plan Amendment/Specific Plan. During the Specific Plan
process, additional circulation facilities and their location
will be addressed and evaluated. No increases in traffic demands
on adjacent transportation facilities are anticipated at this
time.
Other transportation facilities which would serve/connect with
the proposed road are adequate to accommodate the roadway's
travel demands. As stated above, the capacities of the roads are
adequate and the travel on 1-580 could actually be reduced by
this roadway.
It is not anticipated that the design of the project or
conditions in the surrounding area would increase accidents due
to circulation conflicts.
14e. PUBLIC SERVICES
It is anticipated that the roadway and its intersections with
existing facilities will have normal maintenance requirements
that are well within the ability of the City of Dublin to
provide.
20a and 20b. CULTURAL RESOURCES
The project will not result in the alteration of or the
destruction of a prehistoric or historic archaeological site.
The project will not result in adverse physical or aesthetic
effects to a prehistoric, historic, or architecturally
significant building, structure, or object.
Field surveys undertaken during the preparation of the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for the Veteran's Administration
National Cemetery for Northern California found that no
prehistoric or historic cultural resources exist on the Camp
Parks property. These findings concur with those of a previous
reconnaissance conducted in 1981. An archaeological survey
prepared by Holman and Associates for the East Dublin General
Plan Amendment/Specific Plan Studies Environmental Setting
(11-29-88) indicated that there are no prehistoric or cultural
resources within the County property.
Given the general archaeological sensitivity of the surrounding
area, all construction personnel shall be advised by construction
engineers that the following procedures will be followed:
1. If any archaeological deposits are encountered during any
phase of the proposed project, land alteration work in the
general vicinity of the find would be halted and a qualified
archaeologist would be consulted. Prompt evaluations would then
be made regarding the finds, local Native American organizations
consulted and a course of action acceptable to all concerned
parties would then be adopted. In the course of making such
evaluations, the State Historic Preservation office in Sacramento
would be consulted to insure that significance assessment of
resources and proposed mitigation measures meet with Section 106
and other State and Federal requirements for managing cultural
resources.
2. In the event of encountering such deposits, construction
personnel would be instructed by construction engineers not to
handle or in any way further disturb the finds; these conditions
would be rigidly enforced, particularly in the event that
prehistoric burials are discovered.
3. Any mitigation measures necessary to preserve cultural
resources encountered during construction shall be communicated
by construction engineers to the city of Dublin in writing and
shall be entered by the City of Dublin onto a Mitigation Measures
Checklist. The City of Dublin, or any entity with whom it
contracts for construction of the road, shall be responsible for
insuring that all mitigation measures are complied with and any
entity contracting with the City shall notify the city of Dublin
in writing when those mitigation measures have been complied
with.
Should other agencies upon review of any permits necessary for
road construction determine that measures be taken to insure
protection of natural or cultural resources, those measures will
be entered onto a Mitigation Measures Checklist which would be
attached to this document. The agencies requesting the
mitigation measures would be notified by the City of Dublin in
writing that those measures have been included in the Mitigation
Measures Checklist. The agencies shall then submit a program to
the city of Dublin which outlines their monitoring program.
These agencies shall inform the City of Dublin in writing when
their mitigation measures have been complied with.
[21anend5]
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
CONSTRUCTION OF A TWO LANE PARALLEL ACCESS ROAD CONNECTING TO THE
HACIENDA INTERCHANGE
The project consists of a forty foot wide roadway in a fifty-five
foot wide right-of-way. The roadway would run from the
intersection of Dougherty Road and Dublin Boulevard to Tassajara
Road, parallel to and north of Interstate 580, and connecting
from such road to the extension of Hacienda Boulevard. The site
area consists of relatively flat land which contains an
automobile dealership, a boat dealership, County storage
facilities, an abandoned County Jail facility, an abandoned Naval
Hospital, scattered sheds and corrals and vacant land. No
parking or dwelling units are proposed. The location of the
roadway is further described on the attached exhibit.
