It proposes to generate more than 100 million tons of sand <br /> and gravel over the 60-year period that the quarry is expected to operate. The project will have an on-site <br /> processing plant and concrete batch plant. <br /> This project,as described,will have potentially significant impact on Interstate 5,and State Route 132, <br /> and possibly State Route 99 requiring a comprehensive traffic study. This will assist us in determining <br /> the exact mitigation measures that maybe necessary. The study should specifically address access <br /> impacts to SR 132 and the I-5/SR 132 Interchange,as well as,provide information on truck destinations <br /> and truck routes for this facility. More information regarding our Study requirements can be obtained <br /> through our web site at: <br /> wwtv.dot ca pov/hg/traffops!developsery/onerationalsysterns/reports/[ispuide ndl' <br /> Our Environmental Branch requests that you include air quality, dust control, and applicable <br /> transportation issues with mitigation measures within your EIR. <br /> This project will increase the ambient air pollution problem in San Joaquin County. Please be aware that <br /> any increase of negative air quality may well impact negatively on future transportation projects. There <br /> may also be cumulative impacts on the air quality by additional projects located in the Tracy area that <br /> should be addressed within this CEQA document. <br /> 'Caltrav vnproves mobikh7 across California' <br /> emnw,r msn. <br />
