A 4 �14 14 Supplementary Document F Question # I b) Construction of the ski/aquaculture lake and associated berm will disrupt and displace soil. All displaced soil will be used on site for the construction of the berm and for landscape and wildlife habitat needs. The use of the displaced soil for landscape and wildlife habitat development will mitigate for such disturbance. The newly constructed lake will provide for much wildlife use during periods of human .absence. Grasslands will be developed and restored in other areas of the property to mitigate for losses of raptor feeding areas (see attached plans) . I c) Construction of the ski/aquaculture lake and associated berm will alter the topography or ground surface relief features on approximately 30% of the property. The lake will provide for increased wildlife use and help to increase the wildlife value of the property. III d) The amount of surface water will be increased by the development of a new lake and by the restoration of the existing lake. These alterations will increase the value of the property for wildlife use. III e) Ski boats will be used on the proposed lake. Although there exists the potential for accidental fuel spills, each boat has a high performance engine which requires continuous maintenance to insure their maximum performance and skiing pleasure. These engines will not cause a water quality, problem because they will be in excellent working condition. The boats will be fueled near the storage area far removed from the lake. Also, we are considering the use of alternative fuels which will burn cleaner and produce less detrimental exhaust. III i) The proposed development is adjacent to the San Joaquin River. Therefore, if people are on the property during a flood, their lives may be jeopardized. with sufficient flood forecasting and warnings, the reality of such an event taking place, is unlikely. All structures will be designed to withstand floods of moderate intensity and duration.
