Prior to demolition work, the applicant shaft sample structures within the sewage
treatment area (i.e., equipment shed, truck shed, maintenance shop, engine room, and
office building) to determine the presence or absence of Asbestos Containing Materials
(ACMs). Any demolition of the existing buildings shall comply with State law, which
requires a contractor, where there is asbestos-related work involving 100 square feet
or more of ACIVIs, to be certified and that certain procedures regarding the removal of
asbestos be followed. (Mitigation measure-EIR June 2000).
If during demolition of the structure, paint is separated from the building material (e.g.,
chemically or physically), the paint waste shall be evaluated independently from the
building material to determine its proper management. Should the Lead Based Paint
(LBP) materials require disposal, the applicant shall contact the landfill operator in
advance to determine any specific requirements they may have regarding the disposal
of LBP materials. (Mitigation measure-EIR June 2000).
Prior to approval of final development plans, the City shall confirm that appropriate
setback distances for future residential units from the existing heavy industrial area to
the southeast are applied pursuant to the criteria established by the City of Bakersfield

accordance with these criteria shall be the minimum set back distance appreved without
consideration of other potential safety programs. The requirements include the
following:
330 feet; or
The endpoint distance shaft be based upon the chemical specific, Emergency
Respo~nse Planning Guide 2 (ERPG 2) concentration, using the alternate release
scenario (i.e., the most credible accidental release scenario) for an airborne
Acutely Hazardous Material (AHM) toxic gas release from any facilities in the
adjacent zone; or
The endpoint distance of a one pound peF square inch (1 psi) over pressure,
based on the alternate release scenario (i.e., the most credible release) of a
flammable substance vapor cloud explosion from any facilities with more than
10,000 pounds (2,500 gallons) of a flammable gas in a process in the adjacent
zone; or
The endpoint distance shall be based on the radiant heat exposure that
potentiially could cause second degree burns, to a person for the duration of the
fireball resulting from a Boiling Liquid Expansion Vapor Explosion (BLEVE) from
any facility with more than 10,000 pounds (2,500 gallons) of a flammable gas
stored in multiple containers; or

The endpoint distance of the zone of impact of a one in ten million lifetime cancer
risk from a facility subject to Section 44300 et seq. of the California Health and
Safety Code. This criteria would only apply to construction adjacent to existing
facilities that have reported continuous releases subject to the (Air Toxics Hot
Spots Act of 1987).
(Mitigation measure-EIR June 2000).
Prior to project approvals for future industrial uses located between the future residential
development and the existing heavy industries, the City shall utilize the distance criteria
developed by tlhe City of Bakersfield and County of Kern fire departments and provide
sufficient setba:cks for the industrial uses. Refer to criteria outlined above. (Mitigation
measure-EIR June 2000).
All areas with bare soil exposed as a result of grading activities shall be landscaped at
the earliest time possible or stabilized bywatering when winds exceed 25 miles per hour
in order to reduce the potential inhalation of spores causing Valley Fever. (Mitigation
measure-EIR June 2000).
To reduce significant traffic noise impacts to below 65 dBA CNEL at proposed low
density and low-medium density residential locations situated adjacent to collector and
arterial roadways, the project applicant shall incorporate sound barriers, along cited
roadways (Knudsen Drive, Hageman Road, Mohawk Street, and Krebs Road). Since
lot design and grading plans are not yet available, the exact height and location of
barriers cannot be accurately determined at this time. Therefore, prior to Final
Development Plan approval, the project applicant shall prepare an acoustical analysis
to the satisfactiion of the City Building Director, which provides location anc~ heights of
future sound barriers. (Mitigation measure-EIR June 2000).
Prior to Final Development Plan approval, a subsequent noise analysis shall be
prepared, to the satisfaction of the City Building Director, which demonstrates that site
placement of stationary noise sources associated with future commercial uses would not
exceed criteria established in Chapter 9.22 of the City of Bakersfield Municipal Code,
for adjacent residences. To demonstrate commercial noise source impacts are below
the City's standards, the project applicant may need to include project design features
such as setbacks, barriers, building location/orientation, acoustical design of buildings,
etc, (Mitigation measure-EIR June 2000).

In compliance with the Quimby Act, the developer shall either dedicate land and develop
a park(s), or play in lieu fees pursuant to Bakersfield Municipal Code 15.80 which
requires developers of new residential uses to provide 2.5 acres of land per population
projections of 1000, based on fair market value. Accordingly, project implementation
would create a demand for approximately five acres of neighborhood park land.
(Mitigation measure-EIR June 2000).
Development of park land off site, if necessary, shall be subject to further environmental
review to ensure that significant environmental effects, if any, are mitigated on a site
specific basis. (Mitigation measure-EIR June 2000).
The project developer shall pay the appropriate connection fee to the North of River
Sanitary Distrk;t No. 1. All new wastewater facilities shall be located within public
rights-of-way or utility easements. (Mitigation measure-EIR June 2000).
Wastewater system design and all public mains, meters, and appurtenances shall be
installed and constructed in compliance with the applicable standards, specifications,
policies, and regulations of the North of River Sanitary District No. 1. (Mitigation
measure-EIR June 2000).
Development of wastewater facilities off site, if necessary, shall be subject to further
environmental review to ensure that significant environmental effects, if any, are
mitigated on a site specific basis. (Mitigation measure-EIR June 2000).
The developer shall pay the appropriate connection fee to the California Water Service
Company. All new water facilities shall be installed within public rights-of-way or utility
easements. (Mitigation measure-EIR June 2000).

Exterior:
Landscape with low water-consuming plants wherever feasible;
Minimize use of lawn by limiting it to lawn-dependant uses;
Group plants of similar water use to reduce over irrigation of low-water-using
plants;
Use mulch extensively in all landscaped areas (mulch applied on top of soil will
improv,e the water-holding capacity of the soil by reducing evaporation and soil
compaction);
Preserve and protect existing trees and shrubs (established plants are often
adapted to low-water-using conditions and their use saves water needed to
establish replacement vegetation);
Install ,efficient irrigation systems which minimize runoff and evaporation and
maxim][ze the water which will reach the plant roots (drip irrigation, soil moisture
sensors, and automatic irrigation systems are a few methods to consider in
increasing irrigation efficiency and may be feasible for individual development
projects; and
Use pervious paving material whenever feasible to reduce surface water runoff.
(Mitigation measure-EiR June 2000).
Development of water facilities off site, if necessary, shall be subject to further
environmental review to ensure that significant environmental effects, if any, are
mitigated on a site specific basis. (Mitigation measure-EIR June 2000).
The proposed project shatl incorporate design features for the storage and collection
of recyclables pursuant to federal, state, and local statutes (i.e., Bakersfield Municipal
Code, Chapt~;r 8.32) and regulations related to solid waste. (Mitigation measure-EIR
June 2000).
Backqround
Section 15.8 of the DEIR contains the traffic study for the project. County staff has
pointed out that detailed level of service analysis was performed for the major
intersections external to the project but not for internal (e.g. - Hageman Rd. at
Mohawk St., Hageman Rd. at Landco Dr., etc). The traffic study does address this
issue in the recommendations on pages 1-6 through 1-8. The specific improvement
recommendations were carried through as Mitigation Measures in the body of the
DEIR, but not the recommendations concerning followup monitoring and study.
These recommendations include the statement that, "Each new phase of project
development will require new traffic analysis because of the need to (1) monitor
actual traffic conditions on the roadway system to determine existing leveDs of service
prior to each phase, and (2) address the impacts of specific land uses and quantities
at a level of detail which is not known at this time."
It is for these reasons, we believe, the detailed analysis the County considered
missing was not performed. The following condition is recommended. ~-~i~:
