total number of acres, irrigation requirements, etc. Nitrate impacts on groundwater quality are not considered a significant impact. Refer to response C190. C238: Commenter should refer to revised Biological Resources Section 4.7 in Volume II. C239: Dave Fisher and Jaime Nunez have stated that they believe that they found no archaeological remains when they removed the stumps. However, it cannot be stated with certainty that no artifacts or human remains were unearthed as such materials may have gone unrecognized. Damage to these sites has occurred over many years. C240: Refer to revised Biological Resource Section 4.7, Volume 11. C241: The analysis and discussion of the septic system plan in the EIR is based upon extensive experience in this field. The EIR does not take issue with the planned development concept and the flexibility this affords. However,the potential complication of off-site leachfield easements are properly recognized and addressed with appropriate mitigation measures. With respect to the elimination of the golf course, the comment concerning increased animal grazing is noted. The comment is subjective in that it is presently unknown how many cattle would graze the property. With proper range management the site would not become a dust bowl. C242: The commenter is mistaken. This alternative does not call for substituting vineyards for the golf course,but instead it leaves the non-developed areas in open space as part of the nature preserve. C243: The EIR authors concur with this statement. C244: Mitigation Measure 4.4-1(b)in the EIR has been deleted. The preparers of this EIR agree with the commenter that the proposed truck route would impact the least number of residences, considering the ultimate destination of the truck traffic. Any other route would be considerably longer, would expose more people to truck traffic noise and would not be justifiable. By adjusting the hours of operation of offsite hauling to between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM, weekdays only,noise impacts on existing residents adjacent to the proposed haul route would be minimized. The text in the mitigated alternative regarding noise should read as follows: "Noise associated with truck traffic along the haul route would increase current noise levels for residents of Davis Road and Ray Road. By restricting the hours of operation for offsite hauling to between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM, weekdays only,noise impacts on existing residents adjacent to the haul route would be minimized." C245: Refer to response C162. C246: This is an example of ongoing disturbance. C247: The caption on Figure F.6A, page 13 of Appendix G is revised to read: "Example of site disturbance: tree stumps brought to the site for fish habitat in lake bottom." Disturbance was created, however, by moving and dumping of these stumps. III-184
