No. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), this site is not in a 100-year flood zone. In addition, the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) produced a map to show which land masses would be flooded if there were a 1 meter rise in sea level. Again this preferred site will not be affected. According to the 2007 Countywide Plan, the approved site is not in a high liquefaction or high seismic amplification zone.
