Council of Governments San Joaquin County is a signatory to the San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP). Participation in the plan satisfies requirements o both the state and federal endangered species acts, and ensures that the impacts are mitigated below a level of significance in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Although participation in the SJMSCP is voluntary, the applicant chooses not to participate, the applicant will be required to provide alternative mitigation in an amourt and kind equal to that provided in the SJMSCP. The Council of Governments has determined that this project is subject to the SJMSCP. Please contact the Co.incil of Governments staff regarding the scheduling of a SJMSCP biologist to perform a pre-construction survey and any other mitigation measures. The pre-construction survey must be completed prior to any ground disturbance. Noise Study Development Title Section 9-1025.9(a)(1) states that excluding proposed noise sensitive land uses on infill lots, proposed noise sensitive land uses that will be impacted by existing or planned transportation noise sources will be required to mitigate the noise levels from these transportation noise sources so that the resulting noise levels on said proposed noise sensitive residential land uses do not exceed sixty-five (65) dBL for exterior noise and forty-five (45) dBL for interior noise. Proposed noise sensitive land uses on infill lots that will be impacted by existing or planned transportation noise sources are required to mitigate the noise levels from these transportation noise sources so that the resulting noise levels on said proposed noise sensitive land uses on such infill lots do not exceec the standards specified for interior spaces only. The Noise Contour Map indicates that the southern boundary of the project may lie within a sixty-five decibel (65 dB) noise contour. Therefore, a noise study was required. A noise study dated August 11, 2006 was conducted by j. c. brennan & associates. The study does not require or recommend a sound wall for noise mitigation. It does recommend that air conditioning units be installed to allow occupants to close doors and windows as desired for acoustical isolation. Therefore, air conditioning will be required for all residences on parcels that abut Walker Lane and on all residences on parcels that abut Main Street. Storm Drainage Feasibility Study This subdivision will ccnnect to terminal drainage through a sixty (60) inch pipe that will drain into Mormon Slough. The pipe is nearing capacity. The Department of Public Works required a feasibility study to determine if the project can connect directly to terminal drainage or if s detention pond is needed that will detain storm runoff for up to two days and then meter the flow into the storm drain pipe. The study, which is dated September 12, 2006, was performed by North Star Engineering Group. The Department of Public Works will uti ize the study to determine the need for the detention basin shown on the tentative map. If the Department of Public Works determines that the detention 3
