Initial Study—LID Annexation The proposed project does not involve substantial changes to the Project which will require major revisions of the prior environmental documents due to the involvement of new or substantially more severe environmental impacts because the LID formation and the LID's provision of services previously were evaluated in the prior environmental documents. Further, there are no substantial changes with respect to the circumstances in which the project will be undertaken that would involve new or more intensive impacts in this issue area. Finally,there is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known when the prior environmental documents were prepared, that indicates that the project would have new or more severe aesthetic impacts or that considerably different or feasible mitigation measures are available that the LID declines to implement. The proposed project would not require additional mitigation measures to avoid new significant environmental effects. For these reasons, no further analysis is required. 2.10.3 Mineral Resources—Mitigation Measures None required. 2.10.4 Mineral Resources-References City of Lathrop(Grunwald and Associates).

Adopted November 10, 2001 2.11 Noise The proposed Project would create noise impacts from the eventual construction of infrastructure and necessary facilities. The River Islands EIR considered a number of impacts relating to noise, including impacts generated from stationary, mobile and interim sources,as well as those caused by construction activities. 2.11.1 Regulatory Background The Noise Element of the 1991 City of Lathrop General Plan(General Plan)identifies goals, standards, and policies designed to ensure that City residents are not subjected to noise beyond acceptable levels. A general objective of the Noise Element is to protect existing noise-sensitive development(e.g.,hospitals, schools,churches,and residences)from new uses that would generate noise levels incompatible with those uses and,conversely,discourage noise-sensitive uses from locating near sources of high noise levels.The Noise Element identifies exterior noise performance standards for various land uses potentially affected by non-transportation noise sources. In each land use category,the standard varies by time of day and whether the ambient environment is rural suburban, suburban, or urban.The Noise 52
