exclusively of exposed silty sand to silty gravel and naturally occurring grassland vegetation. Access to the facility is via MacArthur Drive. Primary routes of delivery to the site include: MacArthur Drive, Linne Road, Corral Hollow Road, and Tracy Boulevard. Regional access to the station site is provided by Highways 5 and 580. The location map, Figure 2, shows the site boundaries, pre-development topography and land zoning within 1,000 feet of the site boundaries at a scale of I" = 2,000'. The station will require electric, water and sewage facilities. Electricity to the site is available along MacArthur Drive. The nearest public water service is in MacArthur Drive approximately three miles north of the site. The nearest public sewer line is also in McArthur Drive, approximately three miles to the north. Since the extension of public sewer and water does not appear feasible, an individual on-site sewage disposal system and a water supply and storage system will be developed to service the facility. The two predominant land uses in the project area are agriculture and gravel mining. Specifically, to the north, east and south of the site are fields of row crops and orchards. To the west are the continuing operations of the Lone Star Industries gravel mining operations. An existing irrigation canal also parallels the site's western boundary. Other land uses in the area include Royster Tire Storage and Recycling Facility to the northwest and Teichert Aggregates operation a sand and gravel mining facility to the north. The closest development to the proposed project site are two residences (mobile homes) located approximately 600 feet north of the site on the east side of MacArthur Drive. There is also one residence approximately 1.4 miles south of the site on the west side of McArthur Drive. The closest residential subdivision is approximately one mile north of the site along McArthur Drive. The site is currently zoned as open space/resource conservation (AG:40, Agricultural: 40 Acres) by San Joaquin County. The City of Tracy has designated the parcel as being within its Sphere of Influence, with a prezoning of A/G or Agriculture/General. Based on groundwater levels recorded in 1990 by San Joaquin County Flood Control District, groundwater occurs at elevation of 60 to 70 feet which is approximately 40 to 50 feet below the bottom of the pit. This groundwater lies with sand and gravel layers of alluvial fan deposits and flow is towards the north. L/PR0MCT/397/?.W/RC1-4.TCY December 15, 1993 4
