QUALIFICATIONS ' LOCAL EXPERIENCE CITY OF LODI—LODI SHOPPING CENTER EIR This EIR addressed the potential impacts resulting from a proposed 350,000 square-foot retail commercial center (including a 220,000 square-foot Wal-Mart Supercenter) on a 40- acre site at the western edge of Lodi. Given that the project involved the last undeveloped F quadrant at the intersection of two major arterial roads, the primary issues to be resolved were impacts to traffic operations and vehicular site access. The inclusion of a 70,000 square-foot grocery component by Wal-Mart resulted in the preparation of a comprehensive t economic impact study to identify potential impacts on other grocery stores in the City, which was needed to determine the potential for indirect physical impacts resulting from the I possible closure of competing stores. While the environmental document prepared by PMC was a full EIR, the remaining analysis was focused on the following issues: conversion of prime agricultural land, regional air quality, hydrology and water quality, aesthetics and visual impacts, operational noise impacts, and soil contamination from past agricultural.
