■ prepare a detailed report with site location maps and scaled site maps for submittal to the county as confidential information. The "Impacts" section will discuss the nature of each resource, the condition of each site, evaluate site significance (where sufficient data are available), and present recommen- dations for mitigation. Where the data are insufficient to evaluate a site, a testing plan will be presented, if required, as part of the mitigation measures. CHAPTER 14. ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROJECT The purpose of the "Alternatives to the Project" chapter is to present background information on alternatives considered and rejected, and a qualitative comparison of the impacts and mitigation measures associated with various alternatives. Alternatives to be discussed in the EIR will be selected by county staff; however, at this time we anticipate some variation of the following alternatives: ■ restoration project only, ■ restoration project with 26 homesites (no golf course), ■ restoration project with golf course (no homesites), and ■ restoration project with homesites and golf course with no bridge crossing the Mokelumne River. CHAPTER 15. CUMULATIVE ANALYSIS The purpose of the "Cumulative Analysis" chapter is to present the county's logic and approach to analyzing cumulative issues. Based on our current understanding of the project, we have identified three areas of concern: , traffic, air quality, and biological resources. Traffic is a concern as it relates to short-term hauling of the excavated material from the lakebeds. If the traffic route goes through Thornton or an area with limited traffic capacity, traffic from the project combined with that from other projects may become a concem. Cumulative air quality impacts are of concern also,primarily because of the proposed excavation of the lakebeds but also because of ozone precursor emissions. Although the project is proposing substantial enhancement and restoration, cumulative impacts on biological resources may be of concern because of other projects in the county. III-21
