0 V extend Bird Road to the east of 1-5. This road would extend in a southeasterly direction up to the right-of-way of the California Aqueduct. The proponent's haul road would tie into Bird Road at the point in which Bird Road turns south roughly 4,000 feet southwest of the southwest corner or the project site. This alternative would require construction of the new haul road, crossing an existing bridge over the California Aqueduct, improvements to Bird Road east of 1-5, and the widening of the north bound on-ramp of the proposed interchange. The proponent's haul road would utilize an arced right hand approach lane to the Bird Road intersection. Bird ! Road would require widening for a left-hand turn pocket on to the private road and an extra lane for the merging right-hand turn traffic. The merging lane for right-hand turn traffic would extend roughly 7,000 feet west on Bird Road and the north bound on-ramp. The extra lane would merge and terminate approximately 500 feet before the intersection of the north bound on-ramp and Interstate 5. Alternative 4: No Project Under this alternative, no aggregate would be extracted from the project site and existing 1 uses (including agriculture) would continue on those portions of the project site that �+ historically were or are currently under production. Additional truck traffic carrying the aggregate to its intended markets would not be generated along local and regional roads. The No Project alternative would not meet the proponent's objective of providing aggregate products to the San Joaquin region. 3.6 PERMIT REQUIREMENTS/AGENCY RECOMMENDATIONS California Department of Fish and _ p Game and United States Fish and Wildlife Service The proponent must meet the requirements of the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and be consistent with the State and Federal Endangered Species Acts with respect to special status species ) including the San Joaquin Kit Fox prior to the initiation of the use.
