Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.13-15 <br /> Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Expansion Project <br /> operate at acceptable conditions for all of the study scenarios, and the Project impact is minimal. <br /> Therefore, Project impacts to SR 99 mainline operations would be less than significant. <br /> Table IV.B-7: Freeway Mainline Operation Analysis-Existing-Plus-Project Conditions <br /> ' State Route 99 Existing Existing Conditions+ <br /> Project <br /> (Mariposa Rd.-French Conditions Project Impact <br /> Camp Rd.)' +%Volume Density LOS Volume Density LOS <br /> Northbound AM 2080 17.3 B 2100 17.5 B 0.970 <br /> PM 3120 26.0 C 3136 26.1 D 0.57o <br /> Southbound AM 2755 23.0 C 2771 23.1 C 0.6% <br /> PM 2880 24.0 C 1 2890 24.1 C I 0.37o <br /> Note:SR 99 volumes for the analysis are obtained from a 2016 Caltrans peak-hour count.Speed used in the <br /> analysis is 60 mph <br /> Table IV.B-8: Freeway Traffic Operation (LOS) Ranking Criteria <br /> LOS Density(passenger car mi 7 lane) <br /> A 0.0-11.0 <br /> B >11-18.00 <br /> C >18.0-26.0 <br /> D >26.0-35.0 <br /> E >35.0-45.0 <br /> F >45.0 <br /> Source:Highway Capacity Manual 2000. <br /> Austin Road Street Segment Analysis <br /> Mainline operations also were evaluated for Austin Road,between Mariposa Road and East <br /> French Camp Road. This segment is about 4.6 miles long and is accessed by only a few <br /> driveways and cross-streets,as much of the land use along the segment is agriculture. The <br /> average travel speed as observed is above 50 mph and the daily traffic volume is 2,100 vehicles <br /> per day,according to a count conducted by PHA in May 2018, north of Forward Landfill. <br /> The San Joaquin County 2035 General Plan has no roadway classification for Austin Road. <br /> Based on its current design and functional characteristic,Austin Road could be classified as <br /> either a "minor arterial" or"collector"with a design capacity range of 10,000 to 12,500 vehicles <br /> per day. Austin Road currently operates at good Level-of-Service as it carries only 2,100 <br /> vehicles per day. The proposed Project would add up to 1,600 vehicles(an additional 400 round <br /> trip trucks*2.0 PCE daily to Austin Road). This is assuming a worse case that the landfill <br /> reaches its permitted 620 daily truckloads). Therefore, Project impacts to Austin Road would be <br /> less than significant. <br />
