implement the road improvements as sufficient funds are made available in the county's Capital Improvement Program Plan. Finding Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project that substantially lessen the potentially significant effect as identified in the Final EIR, so that environmental effects after such mitigation are reduced to a less than significant level. Brief Explanation of the Rationale for the Finding Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a)(1), the Board of Supervisors finds that the project's adherence to the following mitigation measure will reduce the potential impact of this significant effect to a less than significant level: MM 4.8-1. To improve Holloway Road, the applicant will be responsible for a proportionate share of the costs to improve the full-width of the road to Highway 46 based on the increase in truck traffic volumes generated by this Project. Costs are $96,460.00 (based on 1,378 tons of material) as calculated by the Kern County Roads Department and paid prior to implementation of the Project. Potential Significant Effect Without appropriate mitigation, the project could cause an increase in traffic at the intersection of Holloway Road and State Route 46 in the interim period prior to the completion of State Route 46 4-Lane widening project. Description of Specific Impact The Project will be commencing prior to the completion of the State Route 46 4-Lane, Segment 4, widening project which will improve the intersection of Holloway Road/Brown Material Road and State Route 46, as well as continue the 4-Lane Expressway way to the east of Brown Material Road. Segment 1 of the 4-Lane widening project will provide.a 4-Lane Expressway from State Route 33 to the east, to west of Brown Material Road. As currently scheduled, Segment 1 of the 4-Lane widening project will commence in 2008 and reach completion in 2011. The intersection improvements at Holloway Road/Brown Material Road and 4-Lane widening to the east of Brown Material Road in Segment 4 will not commence until 2010 and will require 3+years to reach completion in 2013+. During the interim 5- year period from 2008 to 2013, wherein State Route 46 will be under construction and will transition from 4 lanes to 2 lanes just west of the intersection of Brown Material Road, there will be an increase in 72 truckloads per day (144 truck trips) as a result of the Project. This number of trucks entering and leaving the highway during the day has the potential to create safety problems in the vicinity of the intersection unless appropriate mitigation is provided for to improve State Route 46 on an interim basis until the 4-Lane widening project is completed. Findmu Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project that substantially lessen the potentially significant effect as identified in the Final EIR, so that environmental effects after such mitigation are reduced to a less than significant level.
