4. Environmental Analysis <br /> Impact 4.11.5: Records maintained at the San Joaquin County Agricultural Commissioner <br /> show that restricted pesticides have been permitted for use on the project site. Their <br /> records date back to the year 2000. However, other chemicals may have been used in the <br /> past,either for which the Department of Agriculture no longer has records or during the _ <br /> time when there were no restrictions on pesticide use. Topsoil would not be mined and <br /> distributed for sale to the public. (Less than significant) <br /> It is possible that agricultural chemical residues are contained within the soils on the property due <br /> to the past and current agricultural use of the property for row crops and orchards. However, all <br /> federal and state OSHA requirements would be implemented to protect workers during the _ <br /> removal of the topsoil, and dust suppression would be used during site clearing,topsoil removal, <br /> and mining activities and for maintenance of the soil stockpiles and berms. <br /> Mitigation Measure: None required. <br /> Impact 4.11.6: Exposure of individuals to asbestos containing dust and lead-based paint. <br /> The existing structures on the project site that would be moved to another location on the — <br /> site may have asbestos-containing materials (ACMs)and lead-based paint may have been <br /> used in the construction of those structures. Indiscriminate and unmitigated demolition of <br /> structures containing ACMs and lead-based paint could create asbestos dust,lead paint _ <br /> chips and lead dust that could travel offsite and present an inhalation hazard for both <br /> construction workers and the surrounding public. In addition,collection and disposal of <br /> ACMs and lead paint debris by untrained personnel could similarly result in asbestos and <br /> lead paint dust emissions offsite. (Less than significant) <br /> An asbestos survey and a lead-based paint survey would be completed by the Applicant on all of <br /> the structures located on the project site prior to any removal or demolition activities. All <br /> asbestos and lead-based paint work would comply with California OSHA regulations,The <br /> National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants,San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution <br /> Control District rules and regulations,California Air Resources Board regulations,as well as any <br /> local ordinances. <br /> Mitigation Measure: None required. <br /> RMC Pack vemalis Quarry Mining and Reclamation Project - ESA/203015 <br /> Draft Environmental Impact Report May 2006 <br />
