per acre. Additional standard conditions, including <br /> a performance ?_..end, should be required to, assure that <br /> the potential benefit of the project is achievc3. <br /> Interim erosion hazards can he mitigated by requiring <br /> that dikes be constructed around the excavation area <br /> and that water runoff be directed by pipor ditch into <br /> the settling ponds. <br /> Assuming that excavation work remains within the bound- <br /> aries shown on the applicant's site plan and that the <br /> mitigation measures suggested are adopted, the project <br /> will not alter hydrologic conditions of the intermittent <br /> stream located south of the processing area. <br /> C. Traffic Considerations : Road Capacity and Maintenance, <br /> Traff-S.c° Volume, Site Access <br /> Three roads will be primarily affected by the project: <br /> Waverly Road, Shelton Road, and State Route Gid. Waverly <br /> Road, south of the Foothill Sanitary Landfill (1 mile <br /> south of the site) , is unpaved; hence, th?.s portion of <br /> waverly Road should not be used as a haul route. <br /> Both Waverly And Shelton Roads are two-Jane, ac7halt- <br /> paved routes with richt-of-way wid-"-_1 ,­� of 60 feet. Vie <br /> rrarimum speed limit along these roads is 55 with <br /> the exc ept_.-M of a I mile stretch of Shelton Read just <br /> west of the access road to the Calaveras P.ivcr plant that <br /> is pc3ted at a 40 M.P.Ii. maximum. <br /> Average daily traffic counts (A.D.T. ) most recently <br /> recorded by the County Fubl,,.e Works Department are: <br /> • Shelton Road (two-way counts) <br /> - East of Escalon Eellota R3. 685 A.D.T. (4/80) <br /> - west of Waverly Rd. 345 A.D.T. (4/03.) <br /> • Vzaverly Road (two-way counts) <br /> - South of Shelton Road 195 A.D.T. (4/83.) <br /> The County has not established maximum road caracity <br /> standards, i.e. , the greatest A.D.T. suitable for a two- <br /> lane roadway. The A.D.T. 's cited above, haacvcr, indicate <br /> that sheer traffic volume is not a critical concern. <br /> There are other tv o-lane county roads which have much <br /> higher A.D.T. 's. Moreover, any increm,nt:al traffic volur„n <br /> from this project will be negligible (approximately 163 <br /> A.D.T. 's two-way) . Truck traffic volume estimated by the <br /> applicant for the proposed project is the same amount <br /> associated with the existing Calaveras River site. The <br /> traffic volume increase will occur over the 1.5 mile <br /> stretch of roadway between the existing site and the <br /> proposed one. <br /> -23- <br />
