2. F"CUTIVE SUMMARY The following environmental resources were found to have the potential of being significantly affected by the Proposed Project and have been addressed in greater detail in the Draft EIR. 1. Visual Resources 2. Agricultural Resources 3. Geology, Seismicity,and Soils 4. Biological Resources 5. Hydrology,Groundwater,and Water Quality 6. Air Quality 7. Noise 8. Transportation/Circulation 9. Cultural Resources 10. Hazards and Hazardous Materials 11. Cumulative Impacts 2.3 ISSUES CONSIDERED AND FOUND NOT TO BE SIGNIFICANT Issues that were identified by the County as being less-than-significant and which will not be evaluated in the Draft EIR are discussed below: 2.3.1 POPULATION AND HOUSING The Proposed Project would not induce substantial population growth, either directly or indirectly, as the majority of jobs created can be filled by local citizens. The site,rural in nature, will not displace a substantial numbers of existing housing or people. One rural residence and barn, owned and occupied by the owner of the property, will be moved to Parcel"A". Parcel "A" includes Assessor's Parcel Numbers 265-010-17 and 265-010-18, which are within and adjacent to the project site but will not be mined or reclaimed as part of the project. The two mobile homes located on the project site will be removed.Impacts will he less-than-significant. 2.3.2 PUBLIC SERVICES _ The Proposed Project will not require special or additional public services.Existing water wells and septic tanks will be used for water and sewer at the project site. ti Groundwater would be used exclusively during the initial phases of mining when aggregate extraction and processing is underway simultaneously with the establishment of the initial, temporary silt pond. Under normal operations, the project applicant would generate the majority of its water supply from surface water decanted and recycled within a series of proposed silt settlement ponds. Groundwater would supplement the surface water and under normal operations,account for approximately 25 percent of their required process water supply. When surface water from settlement ponds is not available,groundwater would be the sole source of process water supply. Any impacts to groundwater supply are discussed in Section — 4.8, Hydrology and Water Quality.
