Previously Approved Findings t 1. The proposal is for the removal of scarce mineral resources and not for the removal of prime farmland because no topsoil will be removed, and only sand will be extracted from the site. Approximately 500,000 cubic yards of sand will be excavated over a five-year period. 2. The excavation will not have a detrimental effect on any surrounding agricultural land because dust control measureswill be utilized during excavation and processing operations, excessive noise will not be generated on the,'-site as a result of the project, and the days and hours of operation will be limited. 3. The proposed re}a. bilitation of the property, upon completion of the excavation, will leave the property in a condition which:will allow its reuse because the reclamation proposed will result in the sand bar portion of the site being gently sloped down to the San Joaquin River, which will prevent that portion of the site from being subject to continued erosion during flood stages of the river. 4. Issuance of the'R rmit shall not be significantly detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or be injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and district in which the property is located because dust coni rol measures will be implemented, no excavation activities will occur within the San Joaquin River, and a nine-acre wetlands area near the site will be created to off-set the loss of any vegetation from toe project site.
