any inconsistencies between the projected project and applicable General Plans and regional plans, specifically including regional air quality maintenance plan, which is our own Air Quality Management Plan dated 1982 , with updates . Also, there is incon- sistency of growth caused by expansion of Federally funded wastewater treatment plants and the Air Quality Management Plan under the Clean Air Act , Section 316 requires that Federally funded or partially funded wastewater treatment plants not induce growth which would exceed population and emission projections in the Air Quality Management Plan, unless mitigation of these air quality impacts occur . He believes that , in this project , tied with it is a waste management plan that will have to be expanded, and it is a Federally funded, partially funded project , so that may come into play. Perhaps we should look at that and how it relates. Once again, water facilities, the relationship of the groundwater overdraft , should be compared to the groundwater study model to see if there is an impact . Particular areas are highly pumped during this season, during the draft season, it is projected that the water table level will drop from 118 feet to 140 feet . It is a very large factor, much larger than in other areas of the County. The cumulative effects of all projects past and in process in the County of air quality should be looked at , not just this project , and that is for the entire San Joaquin air basin. The alter- natives to this project are not adequate . They do not eliminate the contribution to air pollution. It is a nonattainment County. Alternatives to the project should include a complete avoidance of prime farmland, the highest level of avoidance of further contribution to air pollution, the highest level of avoidance of plant and animal life, endangered species, archaeological and historical sites. The EIR should address housing balance, commercial , residential , and industrial balance. More attentiveness could be put in this Linden area on the pro- posed commercial area, the uncertainty of what the commercial area will be, how much, and its relationship to the General Plan which is in process where certain individuals in the town were asking for commercial expansion. Also, the residential and industrial balance and the balance between residential income ;: level housing. What are the needs of that community, not the needs of commuters and developers. Do we need farm worker level housing. That might be the highest demand or level of housing. There is a shortage there of farm worker housing. He would like that to be looked at. He would like to have this looked at in terms of the homes that are projected for this project . The need should relate to the industrial base, which is clearly agri- cultural in this area. The EIR should address the immediate construction of the terminal storm drainage system, not just talk about it, but it should PC Minutes - 10 - (PC: 7-21-88)
