  • 03.5 Geology and Soils
    County of Solano – Solano360 Specific Plan Draft EIR Geology and Soils 3.5 - Geology and Soils 3.5.1 - Introduction This section describes the existing geology, soils, and seismicity setting and potential effects from project implementation on the site and its surrounding area. Descriptions and analysis in this section are based on information from the Vallejo General Plan and the Preliminary Geotechnical Exploration Report prepared by ENGEO in November 2011. The Preliminary Geotechnical Exploration Report is included in this EIR as Appendix E. 3.5.2 - Environmental Setting Geology and Soils Regional Setting The City of Vallejo is located along the western coastal margin of the seismically active Coast Range Geomorphic Province of Northern California. This region is dominated by northwest-southeast trending ranges of low mountains and intervening valleys. The regional structure of the Coast Ranges of northern California consists of northwest trending folds and faults created by the tectonic setting of colliding plate boundaries and subsequent transitional shear along the San Andreas Fault system. The regional folding and faulting of the Mesozoic and Tertiary age rocks of this area have created the foothills north of Carquinez Strait, the outlet of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River system. Project Site The project site is located at 900 Fairgrounds Drive in Vallejo, California. The 149.11-acre site is located immediately southwest of the Stated Route 37 and Interstate 80 junction, situated approximately 2 miles southwest of Sulphur Springs Mountain and 2 miles east of the Napa River. Lake Chabot is located directly west of the subject site, divided from the site by Fairgrounds Drive.

  • 4.05 Cultural & Paleo
    4.5 CULTURAL AND PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section discusses the potential impacts to cultural resources and paleontological resources from the proposed Project. Cultural resources include archaeological resources, traditional cultural properties, and historic architectural resources. Paleontological resources include fossil specimens, fossil sites, and fossil-bearing rock units. SETTING Regional Overview Prehistoric Archaeological and Ethnographic Overview The following overviews are taken from A Cultural Resources Study for the Lake Herman Quarry Expansion Project EIR, Near Vallejo, Solano County, California (Scher 2010a) and A California Register of Historical Resources District Evaluation of the Brownlie Mercury Mining Complex, near Vallejo, Solano County, California (Scher 2010b). An analytic framework for the interpretation of the Bay area, including Solano County, prehistory is provided by Fredrickson (1974), who divided human history in California into three broad periods: the Paleoindian period, the Archaic period, and the Emergent period. This scheme used sociopolitical complexity, trade networks, population, and the introduction and variations of artifact types to differentiate between cultural units. This scheme, with minor revisions remains the dominant framework for prehistoric archaeological research in the region. The earliest documented human occupation in California, the Paleoindian period (ca. 10,000- 6000 B.C.), was a time of variable climate, rising sea levels, and other broad-scale environmental change. People lived in small, highly mobile groups, moving through broad geographic areas and leaving relatively meager archaeological remains. With the more stable climate of the long Archaic period (6000 B.C. to A.D. 1000), people gradually became more sedentary, new groups entered the area, and regional distinctions developed. The Archaic has been divided into three subperiods (Lower, Middle, and Upper), based on changes in sociopolitical complexity, trade networks, populations, and the introduction of new artifact types.

This Flood Insurance Study (FIS) may not contain all data available within the repository. It is advisable to contact the community repository for any additional data. Select Flood Insurance Rate Map panels for the community contain information that was previously shown separately on the corresponding Flood Boundary and Floodway Map panels (e.g., floodways, cross-sections). Former flood hazard zone designations have been changed as follows: Old Zone New Zone A1 through A30 AE B X C X Part or all of this FIS may be revised and republished at any time. In addition, part of this FIS may be revised by the Letter of Map Revision process, which does not involve republication or redistribution of the FIS. It is, therefore, the responsibility of the user to consult with community officials and to check the community repository to obtain the most current FIS components. This Preliminary revised FIS report contains only profiles added or revised as part of the restudy. These profiles are presented at a reduced scale to minimize reproduction costs.

  • 4.09 Hydrology
    4.9 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY This section discusses the existing hydrological setting for the Project site, including regional and local surface water and groundwater characteristics based on available information about the Project, consultation with County staff, review of geotechnical and environmental reports, other published materials, and site reconnaissance. Based on existing hydrologic information, this section identifies potential impacts that could result from the Project, and recommends mitigation measures. IMPACTS EVALUATED IN OTHER SECTIONS The following subjects are related to Hydrology and Water Quality, but are evaluated in another section of this document: • Potential biological impacts to aquatic life in waterways are evaluated in Section 4.4, Biological Resources. SETTING Climate Solano County’s Mediterranean climate is typified by warm dry summers and mild winters. Rainfall distribution is affected substantially by topography with most of the rainfall being concentrated along the western county border over the Vaca Mountain range. Average annual rainfall varies throughout the County from 15 to 40 inches with the greatest amount occurring over the Vaca Mountains, with levels decreasing easterly away from the mountains. The overall mean annual precipitation for the Project site is approximately 17 inches (PRISM 2010). Regional Surface Waters The Project site lies within the San Francisco Bay Area Hydrologic Basin. The San Francisco Bay functions as the drainage outlet for waters of the Central Valley and the greater Bay Area. Freshwater strongly influences environmental conditions in the San Francisco Bay Estuary. Over 90 percent of the estuary’s freshwater originates from the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers and enters the northern reach (RWQCB 2007).
