4.Envimnmental Analysis — <br /> According to the CEQA Guidelines Section 15382, a significant effect on the environment means <br /> "a substantial, or potentially substantial,adverse change in any of the physical conditions within <br /> the area affected by the project ...." For each category of physical condition evaluated in this <br /> EIR,criteria for significance have been developed using criteria discussed in the CEQA <br /> Guidelines;criteria based on factual or scientific information;criteria based on regulatory <br /> standards of local,state,and federal agencies; and criteria based on goals, objectives,and <br /> consistency of the policies identified in the San Joaquin County General Plan and Stanislaus <br /> County General Plan. <br /> Mitigation measures identified in this report are characterized in one of three categories: <br /> (1) measures necessary to reduce the identified impact below a level of significance; (2) measures <br /> recommended to reduce the magnitude of a significant impact, but not below a level of <br /> significance; and(3) measures recommended to reduce the magnitude of a less-than-significant <br /> impact. Where implementation of more than one mitigation measure is needed to reduce an <br /> impact below a level of significance,this is noted. <br /> J <br /> J <br /> RMC Pacific Vernalis Quarry Mining and Reclamation Project 4.1-2 ESA/203015 <br /> Draft Environmental Impact Report May 2006 <br />
