employees immediately control the source of any leak and immediately contain any spill <br /> utilizing appropriate spill containment and countermeasures. If required by any regulatory <br /> agency, contaminated media shall be collected and disposed of at an offsite facility approved to <br /> accept such media. In addition, all precautions required by the RWQCB issued NPDES <br /> construction activity storm water permits would be taken to ensure that no hazardous materials <br /> enter any nearby waterways. (Draft EIR, p. 4.11-13.) <br /> Findings: <br /> Based on the whole record, this Commission finds that with implementation of Mitigation <br /> Measure 4.11.2, impacts related to potential accidental release offuels and other hazardous <br /> substances are reduced to a less than significant level. (Draft EIR,p. 4.11-13.) <br /> Impact 4.11.4 <br /> Exposure of the existing and future residents near the project area to potentially high levels of <br /> nuisance and disease vectoring mosquitoes from the addition ofsilt ponds and miningpits that <br /> could contain storm water on the project site would be a significant health hazard. Mosquitoes <br /> are vectors of diseases such as malaria, encephalitis, West Nile virus, and canine heartworm <br /> disease. (Draft EIR, p. 4.11-15.) <br /> Significance Before Mitigation: Potentially Significant. <br /> Facts: Silt ponds and mining pits may contain storm water that could support mosquitoes that <br /> could expose existing and future residents to vector-carred diseases. See Draft EIR,p. 4.11-15. <br /> Mitigation Measures <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.11.4: The silt ponds and the mining pits proposed as a part of the project <br /> should be properly designed and maintained so that they do not breed mosquitoes. The design <br /> and maintenance of the basins should be done in consultation with the San Joaquin County <br /> Mosquito Abatement District and the East Side Mosquito Abatement District in Stanislaus <br /> County. (Draft EIR,p. 4.11-15.) <br /> Findings: <br /> Based on the whole record, this Commission finds that with implementation of Mitigation <br /> Measure 4.11.4, impacts related to nuisance and disease vectoring mosquitoes are reduced to a <br /> less than significant level. (Draft EIR,p. 4.11-15.) <br /> D.2.11.Visual Resources <br /> Impact 4.12.2 <br /> Implementation of the project has the potential to conflict with adopted plans and policies <br /> relating to visual resources. (Draft EIR, p. 4.12-13.) <br /> Significance Before Mitigation: Potentially Significant. <br /> 28 <br />
