The stockpiled materials will not <br />produce significant disruptions, displacement, or compaction <br />of soil. <br />MITIGATION MEASURES: No mitigation is necessary. <br />Yes No Maybe <br />AIR - Will the proposed project result in: <br />a. Substantial air emissions or deterior- <br />ation of ambient air quality? X _ <br />b. The creation of objectionable odors? X <br />c. Alteration of air movement, moisture, <br />or temperature, or any change in <br />climate? X <br />DISCUSSION: Storage of recyclable materials may result in <br />objectionable odors. However, since the recyclables will be <br />removed from the site on a regular basis, the proposed project <br />will not have a significant impact on air quality. Sorting <br />and transport of recyclables may create a small amount of dust <br />which will be controlled by water trucks. Extra vehicle <br />traffic (transfer trucks carrying waste from the Tracy <br />Materials Recovery Facility) is expected due to the project as <br />well as a few trucks per month to pick up recyclables. The <br />impact of additional vehicular traffic on air quality is <br />insignificant because if the waste was not transferred by <br />transfer trucks, individual' garbage trucks and self haul <br />vehicles would transport the waste which would result in much <br />more vehicle emissions. <br />MITIGATION MEASURES: If storage of recyclable materials <br />creates objectionable odors, the materials will be taken to <br />market more frequently to reduce the potential for production <br />of objectionable odors. Dust will be controlled by <br />periodically watering all haul roads. Diesel idling time will <br />be limited to 20 minutes or less to reduce emissions. <br />Yes No Maybe <br />WATER - Will the proposed project result in: <br />a. Changes in currents, or the course <br />of direction of water movements? X <br />b. Changes in the absorption rates, <br />drainage patterns, or the rate and <br />amount of surface runoff? X <br />c. Alterations to the course or flow <br />of flood waters?
