i I The alternative site is located approximately 2 ,400 feet from the proposed project site and as such, the groundwater conditions are expected to be the same as those of the proposed project site. A discussion of the groundwater quality and production capabilities of water wells in the Morada Area is provided on page 49 of the FEIR. Development of the alternative site would generate the same impacts as those identified for the proposed project on page 48 and 49 of the FEIR. The primary impacts identified in the FEIR is the potential risk of water quality degradation from fecal coliform and nitrates due to the proximity of the wells to on-site f sewage disposal systems. The potential for contamination of �J! individual wells on the alternative site could be reduced to an acceptable level by implementing the mitigation measures suggested . for the proposed project on page 49 of the FEIR. Law Enforcement Law enforcement services to both the proposed project site and the alternative site would be provided by the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department. Approval of the proposed project at the alternative site would result in the addition of 31 homes and a resident population consisting of approximately 88 persons. This would incrementally increase the demand for law enforcement services and would contribute to the existing need for additional staffing and equipment created by cumulative development in the County. Residents of the proposed project at either the proposed site or the alternative site could expect to receive generally lower levels of law enforcement services than those currently provided in unincorporated areas of the County. The FEIR discussed the incorporation of crime prevention measures into the design of the proposed project as well as establishing a "Neighborhood Watch Program. " (See page 50-51 of the FEIR. ) Such features would, in part, compensate for the lower level of service provided to rural areas. However, these measures would not mitigate the cumulative impacts of increased demand generated by #�Ji new development occurring throughout the County. The Sheriff's Department has stated that building materials would be particularly vulnerable to crimes, such as theft and vandalism, during the construction period. This would also be true if. the proposed project were to be approved at the alternative site. Approval of the proposed project at the alternative site would not require any additional mitigations beyond those identified in the FEIR on page 51. Fire Fire protection services to both the project site and alternative site would be provided by the Morada-Waterloo Fire Protection District. 32
