o Removal of localized areas of deeper soil containing elevated concentrations of metals or pyrolytic oil. Description of Environmental Setting: The approximately 50-acre Site consists primarily of an abandoned gravel pit. The gravel pit was mined to a maximum depth of 90 feet below the natural grade; the average depth of the pit is estimated to be 50 feet and it has no surface outflows for rainwater. Remnants of burnt tires, ash, and solidified pyrolytic oil are located in clearly identifiable burn piles throughout the Site. The gravel pit area is predominantly covered with grasses and patches of shrubbery and is easily accessed via many small gravel roads. Although there are no known or designated mineral deposits within the proposed project area, the area is designated as a mineral resource zone. Analysis of Potential Impacts: Describe to what extent project activities would: a. Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state. No Impact. The proposed project would not result in a significant loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state. Mining activities have been discontinued at the project site. b. Result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan. No Impact. The proposed project would not result in the loss of a locally important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan (SJCG 2000). Findings of Significance: ❑ Potentially Significant Impact ❑ Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated ❑ Less Than Significant Impact X No Impact 11.
