that ambient air quality of the project area is subject to heavy influ- ence from pollutants originating in areas north and west of the site. Even with the most strict local control of pollutants, standards could still be exceeded. Noise Cumulative projects in the vicinity would result in large increases in traffic which would increase noise levels in the area. Since most o the uses in the area would be industrial or agricultural , increased noise levels are not generally expected to be significant. However, it is possible that traffic increases would result in noise levels exceeding acceptable exterior standards at either the Northern California Women's Facility or the Youth Center Facility. At this time, these facilities have not been identified as sensitive receptors since the County does not have a guideline for compatibility. System Safety/Hazardous Materials Planning for major industrial development in the project vicinity has identified the need to improve fire and paramedic services to this area of the county. In conjunction with the Arch Road Industrial Park, Units 3 and 4, a new, full -service fire station would be required. A tentative location is at or near the Stockton Metropolitan Airport (City of Stockton 1987) . This new fire station, coupled with City- and County- required fire and emergency contingency planning as well as the on-site fire protection systems required by local building codes, reduces to insignificance the adverse effect that accidents could have on emergency response organizations and services. Biotics The greater Stockton area is experiencing considerable conversion from agricultural uses to urban uses. The overall development results in cumulative significant impacts to open space wildlife habitats. The proposed project represents only a small portion of the available farm- land in the area and therefore contributes only a small percentage of the overall cumulative impact. 4-5 101-36.R3 4/10/89
