    4.8 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Human-caused hazards that may potentially have an effect on the Specific Plan Area include hazardous and toxic materials (including facilities regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [EPA], hazardous waste and disposal, toxic releases, leaking underground storage tanks [LUSTs], and utility pipelines), military installations, other airports and airport hazards, and potential adverse human health effects from exposure to electric and magnetic fields (EMFs). The following section describes the existing conditions of these hazards in and within the vicinity of the Specific Plan Area. This section analyzes the significance of potential impacts related to hazards associated with historic and current land uses of the Specific Plan Area and surrounding uses, as well as potential impacts related to hazardous materials that may be introduced by the Specific Plan. 4.8.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS This section describes the hazards and hazardous materials, including “Recognized Environmental Conditions” (REC) that are located within the Specific Plan Area. As defined in the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Practice E 1527-05, a REC is “the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a part release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property.” The information on RECs is based on Hazardous Materials Assessment Report Northeast Fairfield Station Area, Fairfield, CA prepared by ENGEO, Inc.

In a desperate maneuver, the U.S. activates its “rods from God”—a scheme developed in Project Thor involving telephone-pole-sized tungsten rods being dropped from orbit reaching a speed ten times the speed of sound [7,500 miles per hour] hitting with the force of nuclear weapons—and Beijing’s military command centers and other significant targets are destroyed. | 1 “Rods from God” weapon system. [Source: readingthepictgures.org] The above scenario looks increasingly plausible given a) the growing prospect of war between the U.S. and China; and b) the growing militarization of space by the U.S.—in violation of the landmark Outer Space Treaty of 1967 that sets aside space “for peaceful purposes.” U.S.
