primarily consists of non-enrolled and urban built-up land. Therefore,the project would have no impact associated with <br /> existing agricultural zoning or a Williamson Act contract. This issue will not be further discussed in the EIR. <br /> c) No Impact. There are no forest resources or zoning for forestlands or timber land located on or near the project site. <br /> The County contains three native oak species that the County General Plan EIR identifies as forest land: valley oak, <br /> blue oak, and interior live oak.Valley oak woodland within the County is found in Oak Grove Regional Park and Micke <br /> Grove Park. Blue oak habitat is found in the southwestern portion of the County in mid-to-upper elevations, between <br /> 500 and 3,000 feet, as well as scattered occurrences throughout the northeast corner of the County. A variety of <br /> riparian habitats occur in narrow and mixed fragments along creeks and rivers in the County, accounting for about <br /> 5,000 acres of land (County of San Joaquin 2014). Therefore, the project would have no impact associated with <br /> forestland or timberland. This issue will not be further discussed in the EIR. <br /> d) No Impact. See response to threshold II(c). There is no forestland on or near the project site, and thus the project <br /> would not result in the conversion of forestland to non-forest use. Therefore, the project would have no impact <br /> associated with forestland conversion. This issue will not be further discussed in the EIR. <br /> e) No Impact. The project site is located in a mixed industrial and agricultural area, and land uses immediately <br /> surrounding the site consist of agricultural and industrial uses. The site is zoned for general industrial use (County of <br /> San Joaquin 2019) and was previously used as a biomass energy plant. Since the project site has been previously <br /> used for industrial uses, construction of the project with new industrial uses would result in the conversion of nearby <br /> Farmland to non-agricultural uses.As discussed in response to threshold II(c),there is no forestland located on or near <br /> the project site. As such, development of the project would not result in conversion of forestland to non-forest use. <br /> Therefore, the project would have no impact associated with Farmland or forestland conversion. This issue will not be <br /> further discussed in the EIR. <br /> Enter oroiect#s. —Initial Study 9 <br />
