Executive Summary <br /> TABLE ES-1 (CONTINUED) <br /> SUMMARY OF IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES <br /> Environmental Impact Mitigation Measures Level of Significance <br /> (Level of Significance Prior to Mitigation) After Mitigation <br /> 4.4.3 Project-generated traffic could result in accelerated 4.4.3 Pavement Upgrades and Replacement.As a condition of approval, Less than Significant <br /> pavement deterioration on study area roadways.This the project applicant or successor-in-interest will be required to enter <br /> would be a potentially significant impact. (PS) into an agreement with the San Joaquin County Department of Public <br /> Works regarding the replacement/upgrade and maintenance of <br /> roadways affected by the project. Upgrades and replacements will be <br /> completed to the Traffic Index identified in Table 4.45,unless the <br /> County determines the need for a different Traffic Index based on <br /> future counts. <br /> Stewart Road Between Interstate 5 and Koster Road: The project <br /> applicant or successor-in-interest shall contribute its fair share to <br /> future pavement upgrades on this road segment. <br /> Noise <br /> 4.5.1 Noise generated by mining equipment and excavation 4.5.1a At the start of stripping operations for each phase,the applicant shall Significant <br /> activities would result in an increase in the ambient noise construct an earthen berm along the portions of the project site that <br /> levels at the nearest residence(s).This would be a face sensitive receptors located within 2,000 feet of mining operations <br /> potentially significant impact.(PS) for that phase.This includes residences R4 and RS northeast of <br /> Phase I(this earthen berm would also attenuate noise to residences <br /> R5, R6,and R7)and residences R1, R2,and R3,west of Phase III <br /> and southwest of Phase IV.The sound barriers must be at sufficient <br /> height(approximately 10 feet)to block the line of sight to the nearest <br /> sensitive receptor. If continuous earthen berms of adequate size are <br /> already in place,additional berms would not needed. <br /> 4.5.1b The Applicant shall conduct additional noise measurements after the <br /> completion of initial stripping activities to evaluate the effectiveness of <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.5.1a in reducing resultant sound levels at <br /> outdoor activity areas of nearby sensitive receptors. For those <br /> residences existing as of project approval requiring additional sound <br /> reduction,the Applicant shall fund the construction of solid walls <br /> (masonry walls or other similar construction)along those property <br /> lines of the residences facing the project site,if desired and allowed <br /> by the subject property owners. <br /> 4.5.1c For any residences that would exceed an interior noise level of <br /> 45 dBA, Leq indoors,the applicant shall upgrade house noise <br /> reduction via window and door upgrades on the side of the houses <br /> facing the mine,if the landowner desires and allows the work to be <br /> done. <br /> Cemex Vernalis Quarry Mining and Reclamation Protect ES-8 ESA 1703015 <br /> Final Environmental Impact Report June 2008 <br />
