Mineral Resources. <br /> Would the project: <br /> a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral <br /> resource that would be of value to the region and the ❑ ❑ ❑ <br /> residents of the state? <br /> b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally-important <br /> mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local ❑ ❑ ❑ <br /> general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? <br /> Impact Discussion: <br /> a) Less-than-Significant Impact. The project site is located within the Stockton-Lodi Production-Consumption <br /> Region, which is an approximately 412-square-mile area within San Joaquin and Stanislaus Counties that is <br /> known to contain significant sand and gravel (aggregate) deposits. However, according to the State Mining and <br /> Geology Board Designation Report 16: Updated Designation of Regional Significant Aggregate Resources, which <br /> is a document that provides information on the availability of aggregate deposits in the region, the project site is <br /> located in an area where little likelihood exists for the presence of significant mineral resources (CDOC 2017). As <br /> such, implementation of the project would not result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that <br /> would be of value to the region and the residents of the state. Therefore, impacts associated with the loss of <br /> availability of a known mineral resource would be less than significant, and this issue will not be discussed in the <br /> Draft EIR. <br /> b) Less-than-Significant Impact. As discussed above, according to the State Mining and Geology Board <br /> Designation Report 16: Updated Designation of Regional Significant Aggregate Resources, the project site is <br /> located in an area where little likelihood exists for the presence of significant mineral resources (CDOC 2017). In <br /> addition, the County General Plan does not delineate the project site as being located within an area with locally <br /> important mineral resources. As such, implementation of the project would not result in the loss of loss of <br /> availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site. Therefore, impacts associated with the loss of <br /> availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site would be less than significant, and this issue will <br /> not be discussed in the Draft EIR. <br /> Enter oroiect#s. —Initial Study 27 <br />
