result in a less-than-significant planning impact. (Draft EIR,p. 4.2-11.) <br /> Findings: <br /> Based on the whole record, this Commission finds that with implementation of Mitigation <br /> Measure 4.2.3, impacts related to conflict with an applicable habitat conservation plan or <br /> natural community conservation plan are reduced to a less than significant level. (Draft EIR, p. <br /> 4.2-11.) <br /> D.2.2. Agricultural Resources <br /> Impact 4.3.3 <br /> Mining activities have the potential to result in offsite impacts to adjacent agricultural lands. <br /> (Draft EIR, p. 4.3-10.) <br /> Significance Before Mitigation: Potentially Significant. <br /> Facts: Vineyards in the project and haul route vicinity would potentially be adversely affected <br /> by fugitive dust from project operations. A literature review has found that spider mite <br /> population increases in vineyards could be associated with increased dust levels (Costello, 2004; <br /> Lodi-Woodbridge Winegrape Commission, 2002). See Draft EIR, pp. 4.3-10 to 4.3-11. <br /> Mitigation Measures: <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.3.3: Implement Mitigation Measure 4.6.1 to control the generation of <br /> fugitive dust during mining activities. Dust control measures incorporated at the project site and <br /> haul routes to reduce the total PMIO to below the CAAQS would also reduce project related dust <br /> fallout on nearby vineyards. (Draft EIR, p. 4.3-11.) <br /> Findings: <br /> Based on the whole record, this Commission finds that with implementation of Mitigation <br /> Measure 4.3.3, offsite impacts to adjacent agricultural lands are reduced to a less than <br /> significant level. (Draft EIR, p. 4.3-11.) <br /> Impact 4.3.4 <br /> Deep pit aggregate extraction will reduce the agricultural productivity of the project site. (Draft <br /> EIR,p. 4.3-11.) <br /> Significance Before Mitigation: Potentially Significant. <br /> Facts: The physical and chemical makeup of soil materials within the upper soil horizon may <br /> change during stockpiling, and those changes could affect future soil productivity. See Draft <br /> EIR,pp. 4.3-11 to 4.3-13. <br /> Mitigation Measures: <br /> 11 <br />
