3.12 MINERAL RESOURCES <br /> Less Than <br /> Significant <br /> Would the project: Potentially with Less Than <br /> Significant Mitigation Significant <br /> Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact <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 general <br /> plan,specific plan,or other land use plan? <br /> NARRATIVE DISCUSSION <br /> Environmental Setting <br /> As mandated by the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act, the California Geological <br /> Survey has classified mineral resource development potential of lands in counties into an <br /> appropriate Mineral Resource Zone (MRZ), in accordance with the California Mineral <br /> Land Classification System. Local agencies are required to use this information when <br /> developing land use plans and when making land use decisions. The County has <br /> designated the project site as MRZ-1, indicating areas where adequate information <br /> indicates that no significant mineral deposits are present, or where it is judged that little <br /> likelihood exists for their presence. The San Joaquin County General Plan Background <br /> Report indicates there are no oil or natural gas wells in the project vicinity (San Joaquin <br /> County 2016a). <br /> Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures <br /> a, b) Loss of Mineral Resource Availability. <br /> Although the project site is in an area designated MRZ-1, there is currently no active <br /> mineral resource operations on the project site or in the vicinity. No gas wells are in the <br /> area. Therefore, the project would have no impact on the availability or extraction of <br /> mineral resources. <br /> 3.13 NOISE <br /> Less Than <br /> Significant <br /> Would the project result in: Potentially with Less Than <br /> Significant Mitigation Significant <br /> Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact <br /> a)Generation of a substantial temporary or permanent <br /> increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project <br /> in excess of standards established in the local general plan or <br /> Pock Lane Public Review Draft IS/MND 3-52 May 2022 <br />
