The Final EIR states:
“The proposed Project has the potential to cause significant impacts
with regard to seismic hazards in the areas of liquefaction and
landslides, and also has the potential to cause unstable ground
conditions”
You can bet that the above statement will not be in any of the
Shopoff Group’s marketing materials and with good reason. The Final
EIR goes on to detail all of the things that they will perform to
remove landslides and liquefaction hazards. Then they cross their
fingers - because even though the Shopoff Group has done piles of
studies, they still don’t know what they will find until they dig it
up. And then because this is such an extreme geologic site, they are
not 100% sure that the mitigation measures that they plan to put in
place will work.

If any of these mitigation measures fail and people are injured or
killed, who is responsible? The Shopoff Group will be long gone. It
will be the City that approved the Project and the mitigation
measures. It will be Brea taxpayers that will end up paying for
any failures.LANDSLIDE HAZARDS AND FAULT ZONES MAP
