a. Trip Generation <br /> By the year 1995, the Lovelace Transfer Station Expansion project will generate an <br /> additional 125 ADT. By the year 2010, the Lovelace Transfer Station Expansion project <br /> willenerate ro <br /> pximately additional ADT, approximately 40 vehicle trips will be <br /> generated during the mid- ay peak hour. Figure 5-4 shows the total number of <br /> additional vehicles generated by the proposed Lovelace Transfer Station Expansion <br /> project for the years 1992, 1995 and 2010 <br /> b. Moda1 Split and Trio Distribution <br /> It is assumed that the composition of the added traffic generated by the Lovelace <br /> Transfer Station Expansion project will be the same as found today (see Figure 5-2). <br /> The distribution of new trips to/from the proposed Lovelace Transfer Station <br /> Expansion protect was determined based upon the current distribution of commercial, <br /> transfer and self-haul traffic at the Lovelace `Transfer Station, and can be summarized as <br /> follows: <br /> Percentane ADT <br /> • Airport Way(north of French Camp Road) 13% 92 <br /> ® Airport Way(south of Lovelace Road) 13% 92 <br /> ® Roth Road (west of Airport Way) 28% 197 <br /> French a o (east of Union Road) 27% 190 <br /> • Union Road(south of Lovelace Road) 19% 134 <br /> 100% 705 <br /> B. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS <br /> Impacts to the Lovelace Road study area roadway system are measured in terms of <br /> level of service (LOS). LOS criteria for rural highways are summarized in Table 5-2. <br /> LOS threshold standards used in this study require that roadways and intersections be <br /> sized for LOS "C" conditions. <br /> Methodologies <br /> Level of service values are calculated and compared to EIR "Standards of Significance" <br /> to determine if there is either "no impact" or impact that may require mitigation. For <br /> those roadway segments and intersections with "Significant Avoidable" impacts, <br /> mitisation measures are identified that, when implemented, will result in conditions <br /> consistent with, or better than existing conditions. Significant Unavoidable impacts <br /> are identified as those impacts that cannot be mitigated. <br /> 5-7 <br />
