INITIAL STUDY <br /> MS-92-133 <br /> ATTACHMENT <br /> l.b. The subdivision of the subject parcel into three parcels and <br /> a remainder and the subsequent construction of residences and <br /> other permitted agricultural uses will not adversely affect <br /> water quality or quantity in the area, given the small scale <br /> of development that would result from the project. The <br /> existing cattle feed lot and its two waste ponds are not a <br /> part of this project; however its continued use is subject to <br /> regulations administered by the Regional Water Quality Control <br /> Board. <br /> l.c. Storm drainage resulting from the potential new uses on the <br /> site that are noted above will be required to percolate <br /> naturally on the individual parcels being created. There <br /> will, therefore, be no impacts upon local water or drainage <br /> courses. <br /> l.d. The project site is located within the boundaries of the 100- <br /> Year Flood Zone and is, in fact, lower than the level of water <br /> in the adjacent San Joaquin River. For this reason, the <br /> project is not likely to result in erosion of or sedimentation <br /> to the river or other body of water. <br /> 2 .c. The amount of development described in item no. l.b. above is <br /> not considered a significant conversion of prime farmland, <br /> because of the small scale of development proposed by the <br /> project. The area that could actually be converted to non- <br /> agricultural uses is considerably less than forty acres. <br /> 3 .a. & b. According to the Natural Diversity Data Base, there are <br /> no threatened or endangered species of plants or animals on <br /> this agriculturally-developed site. Nor is the site known to <br /> contain any habitat that will support such species. <br /> Initial Study -34- (Rev: 01/91) <br />
