4.1 LAND USE AND PLANNING POLICY unrestricted category, the airport's "Area of Influence." Few restrictions apply within this area. The Airport Land Use Plan states that proposed communications towers and other very tall structures should be evaluated to ensure that they will not be aircraft hazards. Proposed dumps and landfills should be evaluated to ensure that they will not present a bird hazard to aircraft (Airport Plan, page 25). The project will not contain any towers, dumps or landfills. Discussions with the operators of Lind's Airport indicate that they do not feel that increased bird activity on the site would effect their operations. Aircraft have generally reached approximately 1,000 feet in altitude by the time they reach the project site, reducing the concern about bird hazards (Kupka, 1991). There would be no significant hazard to aircraft due to the proposed land uses. Miti ag t 4.1-6 No mitigation measure is required or recommended. Impact 4.1-7 The State Lands Commission has jurisdiction over Tracy Lakes and Jahant Slough. The project would be subject to SLC permitting process and would have to pay royalties to the State for any material excavated from the lakes. The State Lands Commission has jurisdiction over sovereign land underlying the State's navigable waterways and other resources. Sovereign lands in the project site include the Mokelumne River, and Enay ineluJahant Slough and Tracy Lakes. The SLC is has indicated it has jurisdiction over Tracy Lakes (Patterson, April 6, 1992); ifthe .a..`.....,,.7nes that it was jufisdietieft ever Tr-aey Lakes, any lake excavation will require review and permits from the SLC. The State would also be entitled to certain fees or royalties on the sale of the excavated material. This would not be a significant impact if State permitting procedures are followed. Miti as tion 4.1-7 No mitigation measure is required or recommended. Loss of Agricultural Land Impact 4.1-8 The project would result in the loss of approximately 725 acres that has historically been used for agricultural purposes. 4.1-17
