Canyon Crest's Impacts: Geology
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.

TAXPAYER ALERT
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.
