• Recreation • Cultural Resources • Public Safety • Noise It was also determined that the following environmental factors could be affected significantly; however, the project proposes measures or measures are reasonably available which would mitigate these potential adverse effects to acceptable levels: • Topography • Surface Water • Groundwater • Air Quality • Economic Considerations • Traffic/Circulation • Public Safety • Nuisance Factors SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS WHICH CANNOT BE AVOIDED IF THE PROJECT IS IMPLEMENTED • Implementation of the project would cause a significant degradation of the aesthetic quality of adjacent residences. • The economic value of adjacent properties would undergo a substantial reduction. Due to the reduction of "desireability" of these properties, the range of potential uses would be narrowed and the potential for resale would be reduced. • The land has a potential for substantial agricultural productivity if advanced land management practices are employed. Implementation of the project would significantly reduce the agricultural potential of the land or, perhaps, eliminate the potential depending on how the landfill is operated. By itself, the loss of approximately 320 acres of arable land is not significant on a statewide basis; however, the collective and continuing incremental loss of arable land in California has grown to significant levels over the past 20 years. Sections 15023.5(b) and 15143(a) of the State EIR Guidelines required that individually minor but collectively significant projects taking place over a period of time" shall be discussed. ENERGY CONSIDERATIONS The project would not result in wasteful expenditure of energy. However, it would not exercise, due to current economic considerations, available measures capable of extracting substantial amounts of energy stored in the buried waste and not utilized . Further, the project does not propose to \JII�
