  • 4.13 Public Health and Safety
    METROPOLITAN BAKERSFIELD METROPOLITAN BAKERSFIELD GENERAL PLAN UPDATE EIR 4.13 PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY This section describes the potential risks to human health as a result of exposure to agricultural pesticides, radon emissions, and spores of the Coccidioides Immitis Fungus (Valley Fever). This section also describes the means by which hazardous substances are regulated from a federal, state and local perspective and discusses potential adverse impacts to human health and the environment due to exposure to hazardous materials. Finally, this section addresses public safety issues associated with rail line and aircraft overflight hazards. Aircraft overflight hazards address public safety issues with the Meadows Field Airport and Bakersfield Airpark. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING HUMAN HEALTH HAZARDS Agricultural Chemicals Environmental risks to human health known to exist in the San Joaquin Valley include potential exposure to unsafe agricultural chemicals as a result of development on or adjacent to agricultural lands. According to the Kern County Health Department, potential risks to human health due to pesticide usage can result from contamination of groundwater, inhalation due to crop dusting, and inhalation of contaminated dust, as a result of grading activities. Additionally, pesticide overspray is a potential human health hazard. Pesticide overspray is defined as applying pesticide beyond the boundaries of the target area. Pesticide drift, like overspray, often implies a lack of due care on the part of the pesticide applicator. Drift is defined as the movement of pesticide in air currents or by diffusion onto property beyond the boundaries of the target area. Agricultural pesticides have contaminated certain groundwater basins in the west Bakersfield area; as a result these basins are no longer in use (refer to Section 4.8, Hydrology and Drainage).

    REGION V LOCAL EMERGENCY PLANNING COMMITTEE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS EMERGENCY PLAN SEPTEMBER 2009 There are six California Emergency Management Agency (CalEMA) mutual aid regions in California which have the same boundaries as the Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs). The LEPCs are designated as emergency planning districts to prepare Hazardous Materials Emergency Plans pursuant to the Superfund Amendments an Reauthorization Act (SARA), Title III (Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know) found in Title 42, United States Code §110003(a). The Region V LEPC district is comprised of the seven inland central California counties of Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Mariposa, Merced and Tulare. Region V LEPC prepared a Hazardous Materials Response Plan in 1990 and it is being updated in the 2008-2009 Hazardous Materials Emergency Planning Grant cycle. This Hazardous Materials Emergency Plan builds on the Hazardous Materials Area Plans of local government and facility Hazardous Materials Business Plans located within the emergency planning district. It is a regional planning tool that describes the identity, location and emergency contacts for facilities that handle above threshold quantities of extremely hazardous substances, procedures for immediate response to a chemical release, ways to notify the public about actions they must take if a release occurs, emergency coordinators at the county government level and plans for exercising the Hazardous Materials Emergency Plan. The Region V Hazardous Materials Emergency Plan is organized into three basic sections: Part I, Part II and Part III. Part I - Regional Plan Basics Part I provides background information, facilities in the planning basis, concept of operations including notification and response procedures, training and emergency equipment information as well as public notification requirements.

  • 4.0 Environmental Analysis
    METROPOLITAN BAKERSFIELD METROPOLITAN BAKERSFIELD GENERAL PLAN UPDATE EIR 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS 4.1 LAND USE This Section describes the existing land use designations, plans, and policies within the City of Bakersfield and the Metropolitan Bakersfield area. Additionally, this Section describes the impacts, goals, policies, standards and mitigation measures associated with revisions to land use and the General Plan Update. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING LAND USE RELATIONSHIPS The Metropolitan Bakersfield Planning area encompasses an area of approximately 408 square miles. This is the boundary for which all goals, policies, and programs in the General Plan are applicable. The City’s sphere of influence boundary, defined as a plan for the probable physical boundary and service area of the City, is illustrated in Exhibit 3-3, Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan Update. Portions of the Planning area fall outside the Sphere of Influence boundary, and are included in the General Plan Update based on the relationship that this area bears on the planning and land use concerns of the City of Bakersfield and the County of Kern. In recognition of this relationship, the General Plan Update will serve to assist LAFCO to . “carry out its purposes and responsibilities for planning and shaping the logical and orderly development and coordination of local government agencies so as to advantageously provide for the present and future needs of the County and its communities . .”. (Government Code 56425(a)) The Planning area can be generally characterized as containing a predominance of rural uses including agriculture/open space, mineral/petroleum, and public recreation uses.

ACTION: Notice of Request to Release Airport Land and Permanently Close Airport. SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to rule and invites public comment for the release of approximately 336 acres of airport property at the Lost Hills Airport (Airport) in Lost Hills, California from all conditions contained in the Surplus Property Deed and Grant Assurances because the Airport land is not needed for airport purposes. The land requested to be released is located at the northeast corner of State Route 46 and Lost Hills Road in Lost Hills California. The subject land is adjacent to offsite agricultural uses, sewage treatment ponds and residential and commercial development. On the west side of the Airport there is a small industrial lease area and one water well. Whereas, on the southwest portion of the Airport there is a soccer complex, County public park and fire station. The Airport land will be sold via County public auction at Fair Market Value (FMV) for either its existing use as industrial/public facility or conversion to agricultural use. The County public park and fire station currently located on Airport land will be sold at its FMV for continued uninterrupted use. The proceeds from the sale of airport land will be reinvested into Meadows Field and Kern Valley airports, therefore benefitting general aviation.
