The site is located within a High Wind Area. During construction there may be an increase in blowing dust. This will be controlled by watering. The pavement will be replaced once the sewers are in place. 3.d. Installation of sanitary sewers may have a beneficial impact on groundwater quality. Currently septic systems are used. Removal of the septic systems will decrease the possibility of groundwater contamination. 3.e. The site is storm drains sewers will than already located within a 500 year flood zone, exist in the area. The installation of not create the exposure of more people existing, to flood hazards. 5.b. During construction there may be a temporary increase in exterior noise levels. This will only be temporary with time restrictions per SBMC 8.54 and therefore will not be significant. 9.d. During construction there may be temporary alterations of patterns of circulation. Normal traffic control measures such as baracades, flaqm~n and detours will be utilized. Because this. ~s temporary this is not considered to be a significant impact. GP:89-26MM "- o c:> o o """'ill ~ D.
