Development Committee -3- <br /> QX-94-1 <br /> TRAFFIC/CIRCULATION: <br /> The pre-application contains no information regarding the number <br /> of employees, the number of truck and auto trip ends that are <br /> expected to be generated, or the proposed haul routes for trucks <br /> arriving at or leaving the excavation and processing areas. <br /> Given the assumption that project related traffic will use Bird <br /> Road, State Route 132, and Interstate 5 as primary haul routes <br /> and the traffic impacts identified through the preparation of an <br /> Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Teichert Quarry located <br /> north of the project site, the project can be expected to <br /> generate significant traffic impacts. 'Additional comments <br /> regarding those impacts and the need for traffic analysis are <br /> expected from the Department of Public Works and Caltrans. <br /> In the event that a traffic analysis is required, the scope ' of <br /> that study should address the project's impacts on the area's <br /> County roadways and intersections, as well as on. State Route 132 <br /> and Interstates 5 and 580.

Because this is not a residential <br /> project, that fact is not expected to be a, concern. ' In addition, <br /> the project itself is not expected to significantly affect the, <br /> noise contours. However, as noted above under "Land Use <br /> Conflicts, " the noise impacts from the project have' the potential <br /> to significantly and adversely affect off-site uses. Additional" <br /> analysis will be required to fully assess those potential impacts <br /> and to develop appropriate mitigation measures. <br /> WATER QUALITYIQUANTITY: _ <br /> The pre-application states that there will be no adverse impacts <br /> related to water usage because processing water will be recycled <br /> and because make-up water will be pumped at the same rate as- for <br /> the existing operation.
