Facts: Cumulative projects could contribute to decline in groundwater levels and quality in the <br /> lower Tulare Formation aquifer. See Draft EIR,pp. 6-12 to 6-14. <br /> Mitigation Measures <br /> Mitigation Measure 6.7: Implement Mitigation Measures 4.8.1 a, 4.8.1 b, 4.8.2, and 4.8.3 to <br /> mitigate the project's incremental contribution to groundwater supply and quality impacts. (Draft <br /> EIR, p. 6-14.) <br /> Findings: <br /> Based on the whole record, this Commission finds that with implementation of Mitigation <br /> Measure 6.7.1, the project's contribution to cumulative groundwater supply and quality impacts <br /> are reduced to a less than significant level. (Draft EIR, p. 6-14.) <br /> Impact 6.8 <br /> The project under Mining Option 2 (mining out Hospital Creek and constructing a berm to form <br /> a large detention basin) could contribute to the cumulative reduction offlows to the San Joaquin <br /> River. (Draft EIR, p. 6-14.) <br /> Significance Before Mitigation: Significant. <br /> Facts: If Mining Option 2 were implemented, it could contribute to reduction of flows to the San <br /> Joaquin River. See Draft EIR,p. 6-14. <br /> Mitigation Measures <br /> Mitigation Measure 6.8: Implement Mitigation Measure 4.8.6 (implement Mining Plan Option <br /> 1). (Draft EIR, p. 6-14.) <br /> Findings: <br /> Based on the whole record, this Commission finds that with implementation of Mitigation <br /> Measure 6.8.1, the project's contribution to cumulative reduction offlows to the San Joaquin <br /> River are reduced to a less than significant level. (Draft EIR, p. 6-14.) <br /> Impact 6.9 <br /> Cumulative impacts would be associated with increased disturbance to potential special-status <br /> species due to increased noise, loss of agricultural land and potential habitat, increased traffic <br /> along roadways which could potentially increase mortality of wildlife. (Draft EIR, p. 6-14.) <br /> Significance Before Mitigation: Potentially Significant. <br /> Facts: Cumulative project could result in impact to special-status species due to increased noise, <br /> loss of potential habitat, and increased traffic. (Draft EIR,pp. 6-14 to 6-15. <br /> Mitigation Measures <br /> 30 <br />
