After an appropriate disposal facility has been selected, SCI will prepare and submit a Transportation Plan to the regulatory agencies for approval. The Transportation Plan will include details regarding soil disposal and vehicular traffic expected to influence the project site and surrounding area. Description of Transportation Activities: San Joaquin County has been contacted regarding the hauling activities for the proposed project. A Transportation Plan will be submitted by SCI to San Joaquin County for approval before hauling activities occur. The Transportation Plan will include a figure with descriptions of potential haul routes, estimates of the number of vehicles to leave the site per day, estimate of the total number of vehicles to leave the site, and an estimate of the total duration of the project. Transportation activities during project operations will be restricted to a specified haul route detailed below. Trucks and equipment leaving the Site will exit and head north on South MacArthur Drive. Vehicles will then take a left turn at West Linne Road, and then left on Corral Hollow Road. This route will lead vehicles back to 1-580. Access to the Site from 1-580 will be traveled in the reverse order.There will be approximately 60 trips from the project site on a daily basis. Ten trucks are scheduled to depart the Site on an hourly basis during work hours. Although it is estimated that there will be approximately 2,000 trucks passing through the haul route, it will occur over several months. The trucks will be leaving the Site on a regular basis and not in systematic waves. The project does involve a minor short-term increase in vehicle traffic to mobilize equipment to and from the Site. The mobilization of equipment on-site will not significantly increase traffic levels on South MacArthur Drive. Excavated material will be transported off-site via trucks. Site work will be conducted within the boundaries of the project area. A significant increase in vehicle exhaust emissions from the short-term mobilization of equipment is not expected. The project will not adversely affect existing roadways or intersections nor will it require the construction of additional roads. The slight increase in short-term traffic will not significantly increase traffic, pedestrian or bicyclist hazards. The proposed haul route road is currently used by heavy trucks hauling materials for the nearby local mining and industrial facilities. The proposed trucks are three axle- trucks that will be towing two-axle, 40-cubic yard trailers. The vehicles proposed for the remediation activities at the Tracy Tire Fire Site are anticipated to cause a less than significant impact to the County designated haul route.A transportation plan will be submitted to San Joaquin County by the contractor before hauling begins. Analysis of Potential Impacts: Describe to what extent project activities would: a. Cause an increase in traffic that is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections). Less Than Significant Impact. During removal and excavation activities, an additional ten trucks per hour will travel along the County's designated truck route. The additional vehicles will likely not have an effect on daily traffic. Additionally, the trucks will only be present on a temporary basis. After project activities are completed, an increase in traffic is not expected to occur. b. Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the country congestion management agency for designated roads or highway. Less Than Significant Impact. Despite an increase in traffic flow during daylight hours, the level of service standard established by the Country Congestion Management Agency for designated roads or highways will not be exceeded (San Joaquin County 2000). 43
