Errata 2.1 Introduction As provided in Section 15088(c) of the CEQA Guidelines, responses to comments may take the form of a revision to a Draft EIR or may be a separate section in the Final EIR. This section complies with the latter option and provides changes to the Draft EIR in this chapter shown as strikethrough text (i.e., strikethrough) signifying deletions and red underlined text (i.e., underline) signifying additions. These changes are meant to provide clarification, corrections, or minor revisions made to the Draft EIR initiated by the Lead Agency, City of Fontana, reviewing agencies, the public, and/or consultants based on their review. Text changes are presented in the section and page order in which they appear in the Draft EIR. None of the corrections or additions constitutes significant new information or substantial project changes that, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5, would trigger the need to recirculate portions or all of the Draft EIR. 2.2 Changes to the Draft Environmental Impact Report 2.2.1 SECTION 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Location: Executive Summary, pp. 1-21 Explanation for Change and Discussion: Table 1-1, Summary of Impacts, Mitigation Measures, and level of Significance, provided in the Executive Summary included repeat and misnumbered impact statements for Impacts HYD-4 through HYD-8. Revisions have been made so that the Executive Summary now accurately reflects the Hydrology and Water Quality DEIR Section. Changes to DEIR: Impact Applicable Standard Conditions, Plan, Program, Policy (PPP), or Project Design Feature (PDF) Level of Significance before Mitigation Mitigation Measures Significance after Mitigation Impact HYD-4: Would the Project substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site? Would the Project, in flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk release of pollutants due to Project inundation? PPP HYD-1: Comply with NPDES, listed above. PPP HYD-2: NPDES/SWPPP, as listed above. PPP HYD-3: WQMP, as listed above. Less than significant None required Less than significant Impact HYD-5: Would the Project substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the PPP HYD-1: Comply with NPDES, as listed above. Less than significant None required Less than significant Poplar South Distribution Center 2. Errata City of Fontana 2-2 Final EIR October 2023 2.2.2 SECTION 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Location: Project Description, pp. 3-1 Explanation for Change and Discussion: The footnote below is being added to the Project Description in order to clarify the baseline condition of the DEIR. Changes to DEIR: 1At the time the NOP was circulated for public review on September 30, 2022, the existing residences were inhabited. Following the publishing of the NOP, in October 2022, the residences were vacated in anticipation of the development of the Project. Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15125(a)(1), the environmental baseline for the Draft EIR is September 30, 2022, the date the NOP was published. As of September 30, 2022, the residences were inhabited. As such, the Draft EIR environmental baseline condition assumes the residences were inhabited. course of a stream or river or through addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? Would the Project conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan? PPP HYD-2: NPDES/SWPPP, as listed above. PPP HYD-3: WQMP, as listed above. Impact HYD-6: Would the Project substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would impede or redirect flood flows? PPP HYD-1: Comply with NPDES, as listed above. PPP HYD-3: WQMP, as listed above. Less than significant None required Less than significant Impact HYD-7: Would the Project be located in flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, and risk release of pollutants due to Project inundation? Less than significant None required Less than significant Impact HYD-8: Would the Project conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan? PPP HYD-1: Comply with NPDES, as listed above. PPP HYD-2: NPDES/SWPPP, as listed above. PPP HYD-3: WQMP, listed above. Less than significant None required Less than significant Poplar South Distribution Center 2. Errata City of Fontana 2-3 Final EIR October 2023 2.2.3 SECTION 5.14 TRANSPORTATION Location: Transportation, pp. 5.14-7 Explanation for Change and Discussion: The determination of Impact TR-2 within the DEIR included a typo that indicated the impact was “Less Than Significant with Incorporation of Mitigation”; however, the analysis beneath correctly determines that the Project would result in a less than significant impact and would not require mitigation. Changes to DEIR: IMPACT TR-2: WOULD THE PROJECT CONFLICT OR BE INCONSISTENT WITH CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15064.3, SUBDIVISION (B) REGARDING VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED? Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. As described previously, State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3(b) focus on determining the significance of VMT-related transportation impacts. As detailed previously, the City of Fontana’s Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines contain the following screening thresholds to assess whether a project has the potential to result in an impact and further VMT analysis is required. If the Project meets any of the following screening thresholds, then the VMT impact of the Project is considered less than significant and further VMT analysis is not required. 2.2.3 SECTION 5.9 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY Location: Hydrology and Water Quality, pp. 5.9-16 Explanation for Change and Discussion: The cumulative impacts discussion within the DEIR included a typo that indicated that implementation of the Project would increase the pervious surfaces on the site; however, the opposite it true and the revision below corrects this typo. Changes to DEIR: Drainage: The geographic scope for cumulative impacts related to stormwater drainage includes the geographic area served by the existing stormwater infrastructure for the Project area, which would include the City of Fontana. As described above, with implementation of the Project the onsite impervious pervious surfaces would increase, and stormwater runoff would be accommodated by the proposed stormwater drainage basin infrastructure, as required by the NPDES MS4 Permit. Additionally, existing drainage flow patterns would be maintained. As a result, the proposed Project would not generate runoff that could combine with additional runoff from cumulative projects that could cumulatively combine to impact drainage. Projects in the cumulative study area would be required to comply with the NPDES MS4 permit and would be anticipated to result in less than significant impacts on drainage. Thus, cumulative impacts related to drainage would be less than significant.
