Cultural Resources ' None of the buildings are over 50 years old and so none would be considered historic resources. Although much of the proposed project world be constnicted on previously disturbed areas.a portion of the project site consists of disked vacant land. This portion of the site could contain known and/or unknown cultural resources. The project's potential to affect cultural resources will be analyzed in the EIR_ Trans portationlTraff i c The EIR will evaluate the project's potential impact on regional and local transportation facilities based on a transportation analysis that will assess both construction :elated impacts(heavy truck trips and construction worker trips), as well as operational impacts(employee trips,patient transport, access; and parking). A traffic study will be prepared for the project in consultation with the City of Stockton, San Joaquin Comity,and Caltrans. The basis of this traffic analysis will include the projected ti-affic volumes of existing and/Drown future projects at NCYCC and in the surrounding region_ Water Supply and Distribution The EIR will evaluate the project's water demand and the adequacy of on-site wells to serve the proposed facility. The EIR will also assess the City of Stockton's near and long-term availability of water to supply to the proposed project.This section will evaluate whether water infrastructure in the area, in addition to existing and proposed water facilities,would be adequate to provide appropriate water service to the site. Growth Inducement The EIR will evaluate the project's potential for growth inducement resulting from expansion or extension of infrastructure improvements, as well as new demand for housing,and goods and services. The effect of primary and secondary increases in employment and economic activity will be discussed. Cumulative Impacts The EIR will discuss the incremental contribution of the project to cumulative effects of other past, current,and planned acrd reasonably foreseeable projects in the vicinity. As noted,the cumulative analysis will include the recently approved medical prison facility and the conceptual proposal for conversion of the Dewitt Nelson facility to an adult correctional facility. ALTERNATIVES TO BE EVALUATED IN THE EIR In accordance with the CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6, the EIR will describe a reasonable range of alternatives to the proposed project that are capable of meeting most of the project's objectives,but would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project.The EIR will also identify any alternatives that were considered but rejected by the lead agency as infeasible and briefly explain the reasons why. The EIR will also provide an analysis of the No Project Alternative.
