4.15 Transportation 4.15 TRANSPORTATION This section evaluates the transportation impacts of the proposed Plan. The information presented was compiled from multiple sources including the proposed Plan, SANDAG studies and publications, public transit organizations, other transportation planning agencies, and other sources identified throughout the section. 4.15.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS REGIONWIDE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK The San Diego regional transportation system is a complex and expansive multimodal network that supports the region’s economic base and the demand for personal travel. The transportation network facilitates the movement of people throughout the region for purposes of traveling to places of employment, education, recreation, and for personal needs. Beyond people, the transportation network is essential for the movement of goods and continued economic development. Goods and freight are transported to, from, and through the region with major distribution centers located primarily to the north in the Los Angeles area and south across the international border. The transportation system includes interstate and state highways, local arterial roadways, public transportation systems, nonmotorized transportation facilities, maritime and aviation facilities, and land POEs. The regional roadway system is an interconnected network of interstates, freeways, highways, toll roads, arterial streets, and local streets. This roadway network allows for the movement of private vehicles, commercial vehicles, buses, and heavy trucks. The regional public transit system includes local and regional bus operations, regional and interregional commuter rail services, and light rail service. The freight railroad network includes three freight rail lines serving cargo and goods services. Nonmotorized transportation facilities generally include walkways and bikeways. Often, facilities such as bikeways share space with roadway facilities. -
4.9 Hazards and Hazardous Materials
4.9 Hazards and Hazardous Materials 4.9 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS This section describes the existing conditions for hazardous materials, airports, emergency planning, and wildland fires in the San Diego region. Environmental impacts associated with implementation of the 2050 RTP/SCS as they relate to these conditions are described. As the 2050 RTP/SCS is a programmatic document and does not include specific projects or details of future developments, formal, site-specific hazardous assessments or technical reports have not been performed, though they would be required under CEQA as specific projects are implemented. 4.9.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS Hazardous Materials and Wastes Hazardous materials and wastes are defined and regulated in the United States by federal, state, and local regulations, including those administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA) the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and a large number of other agencies named in the following discussion. The California Health and Safety Code, in Section 25501, defines hazardous material as: Any material that, because of its quantity, concentration, or physical or chemical characteristics, poses a significant present or potential hazard to human health and safety or to the environment if released into the workplace or the environment. “Hazardous materials” include, but are not limited to, hazardous substances, hazardous waste, and any material that a handler or the administering agency has a reasonable basis for believing that it would be injurious to the health and safety of persons or harmful to the environment if released into the workplace or the environment. -
