a Traffic The Department of Public Works has determined that the threshold traffic volume to trigger a traffic -J study is 130 vehicles per day (one-way), of which no more than 70 vehicles will be allowed to be trucks with four or more axles. The applicant has provided information showing that there will be on average thirty-five (35) trucks per day coming to the winery by.the year 2025. Maximum non-truck traffic for a single day is.estimated to be ninety (90) yehicles.(thirty[30] vehicles for employees, thirty [30].vehicles for wine tasting, and thirty[30]vehicles for marketing events). The total Vehicles per day by the year 2025 calculates out to 125,which is below the threshold volume of 130 vehicles per day, and therefore, a traffic study is not required: The Department of Public Works is requiring that the applicant maintain records of the facility's annual traffic volumes. and a record of. daily traffic volumes during .the peak period of the harvest/crushing season. An annual report of these traffic volumes shall be submitted to the Department of Public Works. The requirements for maintainingtraffic volume records and submittal of annual reports will not go into effect until Phase Five is implemented. Vehicular traffic will access the project site from Jahant Road, which is a County-maintained road. There will not be any vehicular access along Lower Sacramento Road. The site plan shows that there is adequate space within the truck staging area so that truck traffic will not overflow onto Jahant Road. Odors/Air Quality The design of the Swanson Advanced Integrated Pond System, for the wetland/water treatment ponds, with its integration of anaerobic and aerobic technologies using recirculation and supplemental mechanical aerators, is-intended to provide an odor-free process. The further polishing treatment of the effluent in the wetlandsltreatment ponds produces a product low in biological oxygen demand so that the odors usually associated with oxygen reducing loading are not present. �J Lighting The project will be subject to the lighting regulations within Development Title Section 9-1015.5 which states that any lighting shall be designed to confine direct rays to the premises. No spillover beyond the property lines shall be permitted except onto public thoroughfares, provided, however, that such light shall not cause a hazard to motorists. Aesthetics The perimeter and interior of the project site will be landscaped with trees to screen the winery operations from Jahant Road and Lower Sacramento Road, and to enhance the area surrounding the water features. An oak forest will be planted along the western property line of the project site for further screening and aesthetics. Water Quality The project is not expected to adversely impact ground or surface water. Wastewater emanating from the winery operations will be processed through a sustainable wastewater treatment process called Swanson Advanced Integrated Pond System. The proposed treatment ponds are designed and constructed with a liner to seal the internal surfaces, preventing contact between untreated wastewater and ground waters. The ponds will only accommodate process wastewater (no sanitary waste) and will be subject to the requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control Board. After the treatment of the wastewater in the ponds, the resultant treated water may be used for irrigation. San Joaquin County PA-05004241Lange Community Development Page 5 —�
